Study summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of ABT-122 in subjects with Rheumatoid Arthritis.

Read the detailed description

This is a phase 1, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multiple ascending dose study. Twenty-four subjects with Rheumatoid Arthritis will be selected to participate. Subjects will be randomized to receive either ABT-122 or placebo. ABT-122 or placebo will be administered as subcutaneous (under the skin) injections in three dosing groups.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of participants with Adverse Events

    Collect all adverse events at each visit

    Time frame: From date of first dose of ABT-122 until 42 days after the last dose of ABT-122

  2. Change in physical exam including vital signs

    Blood pressure, pulse and body temperature

    Time frame: From date of first dose of ABT-122 until 42 days after last dose of ABT-122

  3. Change in clinical lab test results

    Hematology, Chemistry, and Urinalysis

    Time frame: From date of first dose of ABT-122 until 42 days after the last dose of ABT-122

  4. Change in Electrocardiogram (ECG) results

    ECGs done in triplicate

    Time frame: From subject's baseline (prior to subject's first dose) and up to 168 hours following the last dose of study drug

  5. Determination of pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters

    Cmax, Tmax, AUC, elimination rate constant and half-life

    Time frame: Prior to first dose up to 42 days after the last dose of ABT-122

Secondary outcomes

  1. Measurement of anti-drug anti-bodies (ADA) of ABT-122

    Measurement of ADA

    Time frame: Prior to each dose and up until 42 days after the last dose of ABT-122
