Drug: Sarilumab
Other Names:
  • REGN88
  • SAR153191
  • Experimental: Sarilumab - dose 2

    Single SC injection of Sarilumab, dose 2, plus methotrexate background treatment (dispensed and dosed according to local practice)

  • SAR153191
  • Active Comparator: Tocilizumab - dose 1

    Single intravenous (IV) administration of Tocilizumab, dose 1, plus methotrexate background treatment (dispensed and dosed according to local practice)

    Drug: Tocilizumab

    Active Comparator: Tocilizumab - dose 2

    Single IV administration of Tocilizumab, dose 2, plus methotrexate background treatment (dispensed and dosed according to local practice)

    Drug: Tocilizumab

    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. PD parameters [baseline through week 4]

      Pharmacodynamic (PD) parameters, what a drug does to the body, will be collected from baseline through week 4: the time to nadir (or peak) change from baseline area under the curve (AUC)

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Percentage of TEAEs [baseline through week 6]

      Percentage of patients with treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) from baseline through end of study (week 6).

    2. PK parameters [baseline through week 4]

      Pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters, what the body does to a drug, will be collected from baseline through week 4: AUC CL (clearance) Cmax (the peak concentration) t1/2 (observed terminal half-life)

    Eligibility Criteria

    Criteria

    Ages Eligible for Study:

    2. ACR Class I-III functional status, based on the 1991 revised criteria

    3. Treated for a minimum of 12 weeks with Methotrexate with a stable dose of MTX for at least 8 weeks prior to screening visit

    3. Use of parenteral corticosteroids or intra-articular corticosteroids within 4 weeks prior to screening

    4. Use of oral corticosteroids in a dose higher than prednisone 10 mg or equivalent per day, or a change in dosage within 4 weeks prior to randomization

    5. Participation in any clinical research study that evaluated an investigational drug or therapy within 5 half-lives or 60 days of the screening visit, whichever is longer

    6. Treatment with oral/ biologic DMARDs (disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs), other than MTX, within a certain amount of time prior to screening visit

    7. Active or suspected TB or at high risk of contracting TB

    8. Fever, or chronic, persistent, or recurring infections requiring active treatment

    9. HIV positive

    Note: The above information is not intended to contain all considerations relevant to a patient's potential participation in a clinical trial therefore not all inclusion/ exclusion criteria are listed.
