About this study
Official title: A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Parallel Group Study to Investigate the Ability of GSK706769 to Maintain Clinical Remission After Withdrawal of Enbrel in Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis
The purpose of this study is to determine if GSK706769 can maintain clinical remission established by Enbrel after withdrawal of Enbrel in rheumatoid arthritis patients.
Read the detailed description
This study is a phase II, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group study in subjects with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) on stable doses of Enbrel. Subjects with an adequate response to Enbrel will be enrolled into the study. Subjects will be withdrawn from their Enbrel and randomized to receive 28 days of dosing with either GSK706769 or placebo followed by 28 days off-drug. This study is exploring a novel therapeutic paradigm for RA, remission maintenance. In such an approach, remission is induced and then the inducing agent is stopped and a maintenance agent is added. The clinical benefit would be derived from the fact that the remission agent may be easier to take (e.g. oral rather than parenteral), more durable in its maintenance of remission, and/or safer (e.g. no TB reactivation). This study directly explores remission maintenance. Specifically, in a randomised, double blind, placebo controlled study, RA patients in remission through an adequate response to Enbrel will be recruited. Enbrel has been selected as it has a relatively short half life and therefore it is more likely patients treated with placebo may have a higher incidence of relapse after 28 days than with other anti-TNF treatments. After withdrawal of Enbrel (and possibly other oral DMARDs), subjects will be randomised to receive GSK706769 or placebo for 28 days followed by a period of 28 days off treatment. It is hypothesized that GSK706769 will prevent any CCR5+ cells from returning into the synovium, thereby resulting in maintenance of the efficacy induced by Enbrel. In the placebo group, CCR5 cells may re-populate the synovium resulting in increased inflammation. Patients experiencing increased disease activity will be able to withdraw from the study and resume standard of care.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing GSK706769 in people with Arthritis, Rheumatoid, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 1 site in Netherlands.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 10 inclusion and 23 exclusion criteria. 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Jan 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Netherlands. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.
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?
Maintenance of clinical remission after withdrawal of Enbrel in patients with RA, as determined by DAS28 scores. (time frame: Day 28 after first dose administration). 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 22 Jan 2024; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
