STUDY SUSPENDED DUE TO COVID-19 (April 2020)
Brief Summary: March 20, 2020
Brief Summary: March 20, 2020
Primary Objective:
To evaluate the efficacy of KEVZARA (sarilumab) in patients with polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) as assessed by the proportion of subjects with sustained remission for sarilumab with a shorter corticosteroid (CS) tapering regimen as compared to placebo with a longer CS tapering regimen.
Secondary Objectives:
- To demonstrate the efficacy of sarilumab in patients with polymyalgia rheumatica compared to placebo, in combination with a CS taper with regards to:
- Clinical responses (such as components of sustained remission, disease remission rates, time to first disease flare) over time.
- Cumulative CS (including prednisone) exposure.
- To assess the safety (including immunogenicity) and tolerability of sarilumab in patients with PMR.
- To measure sarilumab serum concentrations in patients with PMR.
- To assess the effect of sarilumab in reducing glucocorticoid toxicity as measured by the composite glucocorticoid toxicity index (GTI) questionnaire.
