Study Summary

This randomized, parallel-group, open-label study will evaluate the effect of Actemra (tocilizumab) on vaccination in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis who have an inadequate response to methotrexate and who have had an inadequate clinical response or were intolerant to treatment with one or more anti-tumor necrosis factor (anti-TNF) therapies.

Primary Outcome

Serum levels of antibody to pneumococcal vaccine were drawn 5 weeks after vaccination with 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine to assess humoral immune response. A positive response to the pneumococcal vaccine was defined as a 2-fold increase in serum antibody titers from Baseline or an increase of \> 1 mg/L from Baseline levels. The 12 serotypes evaluated were pneumococcal serotypes 1, 3, 4, 6B, 8, 9N, 12F, 14, 19F, 23F, 7F, and 18C.

Interventions

  • DRUG methotrexate
  • BIOLOGICAL tocilizumab
  • BIOLOGICAL 23-Valent Pneumococcal Polysaccharide Vaccine
  • BIOLOGICAL Tetanus Toxoid Adsorbed Vaccine
