| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of PH-797804 monotherapy in subjects with active RA on their current treatment regimen and having failed in the past at least 1 DMARD regimen. This will be accomplished in a 2-stage design, with an initial Safety/PK evaluation stage (Stage 1) in the first 50 treated subjects. A successful Stage 1 will launch the second stage (Stage 2) to complete the full enrollment of the study to evaluate the overall safety and tolerability of QD, oral PH-797804 versus placebo in all subjects through 12 weeks of treatment.;Secondary Objective: 1. To compare the efficacy of 4 dose levels of PH-797804 (0.5, 3, 6, and 10 mg QD) versus placebo, administered over 12 weeks for the treatment of the signs and symptoms of subjects with active RA; 2. To evaluate the PK profiles of multiple doses of PH-797804 administered for 12 weeks to subjects with active RA; 3. To evaluate the dose- and concentration-response of PH-797804 against measures of disease activity through 12 weeks of treatment.;Primary end point(s): Safety: • Incidence and severity of AEs; • Incidence and severity of clinical findings on physical examination; • Incidence and severity of clinical laboratory abnormalities; • Mean change from Baseline in vital signs (blood pressure [BP], heart rate [HR], temperature) measurements; • Categorical summary of absolute vital signs and vital signs changes compared to Baseline by subject; • Mean change from Baseline in 12-lead ECG parameters; and • Categorical summary of absolute ECG parameters and ECG changes compared to Baseline by subject. The determination of the primary QTc endpoint will be based on the adequacy of the correction of a potential positive linear relationship between the QT interval and the RR interval. Pharmacokinetics: Plasma PH-797804 concentrations will be determined by a validated assay. Efficacy • American College of Rheumatology 20 (ACR20) responder rate at Week 12; | — |
