To Evaluate the Blood Levels and Safety of IV and Subcutaneous CDP6038 in Subjects With Rheumatoid Arthritis Using Methotrexate
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The primary objectives are to determine the relationship between blood levels of CDP6038 and suppression of C-reactive Protein (CRP) following single doses given as intravenous (IV) infusion or subcutaneous (SC) injection to Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) patients. The safety of CDP6038 will also be evaluated.

|
Phase 1/Phase 2 |
Detailed Description
The secondary objectives of the study include determination of the absolute bioavailability of CDP6038 given via sc administration compared with iv infusion; assessment of the immunogenicity potential of single dose CDP6038 and assessment, on an exploratory basis, of other relevant systemic biomarkers and changes in clinical response.
