An Open-label, Ascending, Repeated Dose-finding Study of Sarilumab in Children and Adolescents With Polyarticular-course Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (pcJIA)

Study Purpose

Primary Objective: To describe the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of sarilumab in patients aged 2-17 years with Polyarticular-course Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (pcJIA) in order to identify the dose and regimen for adequate treatment of this population. Secondary Objective: To describe the pharmacodynamic (PD) profile, the efficacy and the long-term safety of sarilumab in patients with pcJIA.

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms

No
Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

  • - Treatment with any investigational biologic or non-biologic product within 8 weeks or 5 half-lives prior to baseline, whichever is longer.
  • - Lipid lowering drug stable for less than 6 weeks prior to screening.
  • - Exclusion related to tuberculosis (TB).
  • - Exclusion criteria related to past or current infection other than tuberculosis.

NCT02776735
Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.

For approximately 28 patients enrolled in the third portion, the total study duration per patient will be 106 weeks that will consist of a 4- week screening, a 12-week core treatment phase, a 84-week extension phase, and a 6-week post-treatment follow-up.

Arms & Interventions

Arms

Experimental: Sarilumab
