A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating PF-04171327, prednisone, and 1 other intervention for Rheumatoid Arthritis. Completed, enrolled 323 participants across 93 sites in 18 countries.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and efficacy of multiple doses of PF-04171327, an experimental glucocorticoid drug, to prednisone at 5 mg or 10 mg and placebo in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. All subjects will also be receiving background treatment of methotrexate for their rheumatoid arthritis. Study medication will be given for eight weeks followed by a 4 week period during which the dose of study medication will be gradually reduced. The efficacy of the study medications will be determined by assessing severity of the rheumatoid arthritis during the study and safety will be determined by adverse event reporting, laboratory tests and biomarker analysis.
