About this study

Official title: A Multicenter, Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo Controlled Study to Estimate the Effect of Anakinra (r-metHuIL-1ra) on Vaccine Antibody Response in Subjects With Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)

The purpose of this study is to estimate the effect of anakinra, 100 mg once daily (QD), on the development of an anti-tetanus antibody response in subjects with RA after vaccination with a tetanus and diphtheria toxoids injection. In addition, this study will evaluate the general safety profile of therapy with anakinra, 100 mg QD, in subjects with RA after vaccination with a tetanus and diphtheria toxoids injection.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Anakinra (r-metHuIL-1ra)Drug

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Proportion of subjects that achieve an anti-tetanus antibody response rate at study week 8 (4 weeks after the tetanus injection), based on a 4-fold titer development relative to week 4 (pre-vaccination)

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Anti-tetanus antibody titers at weeks 4 and 8

  2. Anti-tetanus antibody level changes from baseline to week 4

  3. Anti-tetanus antibody level changes from week 4 to week 8

  4. Antibody level of at least 0.1 IU/mL at week 8.

  5. Safety evaluation of serious adverse events, adverse events and laboratory assessments

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Anakinra (r-metHuIL-1ra) in people with Rheumatoid Arthritis, run by Amgen.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Aug 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Proportion of subjects that achieve an anti-tetanus antibody response rate at study week 8 (4 weeks after the tetanus injection), based on a 4-fold titer development relative to week 4 (pre-vaccination). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 11 Aug 2016.
