Trial Review

Did you know?

The ANZCTR now automatically displays published trial results and simplifies the addition of trial documents such as unpublished protocols and statistical analysis plans.

These enhancements will offer a more comprehensive view of trials, regardless of whether their results are positive, negative, or inconclusive.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

tubal ligation if the woman could become pregnant for at least 12 weeks after dosing

contraception, as defined in the study restriction section. If necessary, women of
non-child bearing potential (i.e. post-menopausal or surgically sterile e.g. tubal

Summary
Brief summary
This is a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled adaptive, dose finding study to
investigate the safety, tolerability, PK, PD and efficacy of single and repeat intravenous
infusions of GSK315243A in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis. The study is divided
into 2 parts: Part A is an adaptive, dose finding phase which will provide safety,
tolerability, PK and PD on single intravenous infusions. Part B is a repeat dose phase which
will provide safety, tolerability, PK, PD and efficacy following repeat intravenous infusions
of a selected dose level.
