Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Placebo Group
Group I: clazakizumab at a dose of 25 mgExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
A first dose of 25 mg of clazakizumab will be given. No premedications will be given prior to the investigational product. Serum CRP will be evaluated at baseline and on days 1 and 2 following clazakizumab or placebo administration to assess response. If the CRP does not decrease by 50% within 36-48 hours after the first dose, a second dose of 25mg clazakizumab (an identical dose to the day 1 dose) will be given no later than day 3
Group II: placeboPlacebo Group1 Intervention
A first dose of placebo will be given. No premedications will be given prior to the investigational product. Serum CRP will be evaluated at baseline and on days 1 and 2 following clazakizumab or placebo administration to assess response. If the CRP does not decrease by 50% within 36-48 hours after the first dose, a second dose of placebo (an identical dose to the day 1 dose) will be given no later than day 3
