Janssen Announces Initiation Of Phase 3 Development Program For Sirukumab In Rheumatoid Arthritis
Janssen Biologics announced it has initiated the Phase 3 development program for sirukumab (CNTO 136) as part of a collaboration with GlaxoSmithKline plc (GSK). Sirukumab is a human anti-interleukin (IL)-6 monoclonal antibody being studied for the treatment of adults with moderately to severely active rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
- SIRROUND-T: A multicentre, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group study of sirukumab administered subcutaneously in subjects with active RA despite anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha therapy. The primary objective is to assess the efficacy of sirukumab as measured by the reduction of the signs and symptoms of RA in subjects with active RA who are refractory or intolerant to anti-TNF-alpha agents.
- SIRROUND-D: A multicentre, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group study of sirukumab administered subcutaneously in subjects with active RA despite disease modifying anti-rheumatic drug (DMARD) therapy. The primary objective is to assess the efficacy of sirukumab as measured by the reduction of the signs and symptoms of RA and inhibition of radiographic progression in subjects with active RA who are refractory to DMARDs.

Antibodies are specialized molecules of our immune system that can specifically recognize and neutralize pathogens or foreign substances. Antibody research in biotech and pharma has recognized this natural defense potential and is working intensively to make it therapeutically useful. From monoclonal antibodies used against cancer or autoimmune diseases to antibody-drug conjugates that specifically transport drugs to disease cells - the possibilities are enormous
