What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Percentage of Participants Who Achieved at Least 20% Improvement in the American College of Rheumatology (ACR20) Criteria at Week 24
ACR responses are assessed with a composite rating scale of the American College of Rheumatology that includes 7 variables: tender joint count (TJC); swollen joint count (SJC); levels of an acute phase reactant (C-reactive Protein levels [CRP]); participant's assessment of pain; participant's global assessment of disease activity; physician's global assessment of disease activity; participant's assessment of physical function by (health assessment questionnaire disability index [HAQ-DI]). ACR20 is defined as achieving at least 20% improvement in both TJC and SJC, and at least 20% improvement in at least 3 of the 5 other assessments of the ACR.
Measured: Week 24
Change From Baseline in the Health Assessment Questionnaire-Disability Index (HAQ-DI) at Week 12
Physical function was assessed by HAQ-DI. It consisted of at least 2 questions per category, participant reported assessment of ability to perform tasks in 8 categories of daily living activities: dress/groom; arise; eat; walk; reach; grip; hygiene; and common activities over past week rated on a 4-point scale where 0 = no difficulty; 1 = some difficulty; 2 = much difficulty; 3 = unable to do. Overall score was computed as the sum of category scores and divided by the number of categories answered, ranging from 0 to 3, where 0 = no disability and 3 = unable to do, high-dependency disability. Least-squares (LS) means and standard errors (SE) at Week 12 were obtained from a mixed-effect model with repeated measures (MMRM) with treatment, region, number of previous anti-TNFs, visit, and treatment-by-visit interaction as fixed effects and baseline HAQ-DI as a covariate.
Measured: Baseline, Week 12
Secondary outcomes (39)
Change From Baseline in Disease Activity Score for 28 Joints -C-Reactive Protein (DAS28--CRP) Score at Week 24
DAS28 is a composite score that includes 4 variables: TJC (based on 28 joints); SJC (based on 28 joints); General health (GH) assessment by the participant assessed from the ACR rheumatoid arthritis (RA) core set questionnaire (participant global assessment) in 100 mm visual analog scale (VAS). Marker of inflammation assessed by the high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) in mg/L. The DAS28 score provides a number indicating the current disease activity of the RA. DAS28 total score ranges from 2-10. A DAS28 score above 5.1 means high disease activity, whereas a DAS28 score below 3.2 indicates low disease activity and a DAS28 score below 2.6 means disease remission. LS means and SE at Week 24 were obtained from a MMRM with treatment, region, number of previous anti-TNFs, visit, and treatment-by-visit interaction as fixed effects and baseline DAS28-CRP score as a covariate.
Measured: Baseline, Week 24
Percentage of Participants Achieving ACR50 Criteria at Week 24
ACR responses are assessed with a composite rating scale that includes 7 variables: TJC; SJC; levels of an acute phase reactant (CRP level); participant's assessment of pain; participant's global assessment of disease activity; physician's global assessment of disease activity; participant's assessment of physical function by HAQ--DI. ACR50 is defined as achieving at least 50% improvement in both TJC and SJC, and at least 50% improvement in at least 3 of the 5 other assessments of the ACR.
Measured: Week 24
Percentage of Participants Achieving ACR70 Criteria at Week 24
ACR responses are assessed with a composite rating scale of the American College of Rheumatology that includes 7 variables: TJC; SJC; levels of an acute phase reactant (CRP level); participant's assessment of pain; participant's global assessment of disease activity; physician's global assessment of disease activity; participant's assessment of physical function by HAQ--DI.

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
Primary Objective:
To demonstrate that sarilumab added to disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) were effective for:
- reduction of signs and symptoms at Week 24 and
- improvement of physical function at Week 12 in participants with active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who were inadequate responders or intolerant to tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) antagonists.
Secondary Objectives:
The secondary objectives were to investigate the effects of SAR153191 (REGN88) when added to DMARD therapy, in participants with active RA who were inadequate responders or intolerant to TNF-α antagonists, for:
- Reduction of signs and symptoms at Week 12;
- Improvement in physical function at Week 24;
- Improvement in disease activity score as measured by other American College of Rheumatology (ACR) derived components at Weeks 12 and 24;
- Improvement in quality of life as measured by participant reported outcomes (PROs) at intermediate visits and Week 24.
To assess the exposure of sarilumab added to DMARD therapy in this population.
To assess the safety of sarilumab in this population.
Detailed description
Total study duration was up to 34 weeks: screening up to 28 days, treatment phase of 24 weeks, and post-treatment follow-up of 6 weeks.
After completion of the treatment phase of this study, participant were eligible to enter a long term safety study (LTS11210) for active treatment with SAR153191 (REGN88).

Primary outcome
Percentage of Participants Who Achieved at Least 20% Improvement in the American College of Rheumatology (ACR20) Criteria at Week 24
Time frame: Week 24
ACR responses are assessed with a composite rating scale of the American College of Rheumatology that includes 7 variables: tender joint count (TJC); swollen joint count (SJC); levels of an acute phase reactant (C-reactive Protein levels [CRP]); participant's assessment of pain; participant's global assessment of disease activity; physician's global assessment of disease activity; participant's assessment of physical function by (health assessment questionnaire disability index [HAQ-DI]). ACR20 is defined as achieving at least 20% improvement in both TJC and SJC, and at least 20% improvement in at least 3 of the 5 other assessments of the ACR.
Change From Baseline in the Health Assessment Questionnaire-Disability Index (HAQ-DI) at Week 12
Time frame: Baseline, Week 12
Physical function was assessed by HAQ-DI. It consisted of at least 2 questions per category, participant reported assessment of ability to perform tasks in 8 categories of daily living activities: dress/groom; arise; eat; walk; reach; grip; hygiene; and common activities over past week rated on a 4-point scale where 0 = no difficulty; 1 = some difficulty; 2 = much difficulty; 3 = unable to do. Overall score was computed as the sum of category scores and divided by the number of categories answered, ranging from 0 to 3, where 0 = no disability and 3 = unable to do, high-dependency disability. Least-squares (LS) means and standard errors (SE) at Week 12 were obtained from a mixed-effect model with repeated measures (MMRM) with treatment, region, number of previous anti-TNFs, visit, and treatment-by-visit interaction as fixed effects and baseline HAQ-DI as a covariate.
