Official title

A PHASE 2, RANDOMIZED, DOUBLE BLIND ASSESSMENT OF EFFICACY AND SAFETY OF PF 04171327(1, 5, 10, 15 MG DOSE, DAILY) COMPARED TO 5 MG AND 10 MG PREDNISONE DAILY AND PLACEBO DAILY IN SUBJECTS WITH RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS OVER AN 8 WEEK PERIOD FOLLOWED BY A 4 WEEK PERIOD OF TAPERING OF STUDY DRUG.

Brief summary

Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.

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.
