About

This is a Phase 2, PoC, randomized, placebo-controlled, double blind, international multicentre study to explore the effect of a new antibody to treat patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis

Full description

The study foresees the randomization of at least 81 moderate to severe, ACPA positive, RA patients who are inadequate responders to MTX, in two double blind arms (NI-0101:placebo, with a ratio of 2:1). Patients will receive NI-0101 or placebo infusions up to a maximum of 6 administrations (every two weeks for 12 weeks). All patients will continue receiving a stable dose of MTX. After 12 weeks, patients will enter the follow up period with monthly visits for a minimum of 12 weeks.
