Summary: A Study of Ocrelizumab in Combination With Methotrexate in Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis Who Are Naive to Methotrexate

Status: Recruiting

Protocol Number: WA20497

Sponsor: Hoffmann-La Roche; Genentech Inc.

Company Division: Pharmaceutical

Official Scientific Title: A randomized, double-blind study of the effect of ocrelizumab in combination with methotrexate, compared to methotrexate alone, on the treatment response in methotrexate-naive patients with active rheumatoid arthritis.

Brief Summary: This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of ocrelizumab, compared with placebo, in combination with methotrexate in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis who are naive to methotrexate. Patients will be randomized to receive placebo, ocrelizumab 200mg i.v. or ocrelizumab 500mg i.v. on days 1 and 15. Repeat courses of i.v. treatment will be administered at weeks 24, 52 and 76.All patients will receive concomitant methotrexate (7.5 mg escalating to 20mg p.o. weekly). The anticipated time on study treatment is 2+ years, and the target sample size is 500+ individuals.In the US this study is sponsored/managed by Genentech, under protocol no. ACT3984g.
