Summary
Part A Primary Objective To determine the safety of six months of PRTX-100 administration. Part B Primary Objective To obtain antisera from normal volunteers that have developed anti-PRTX-100 antibodies. Secondary Objective(s) To assess rheumatoid arthritis activity during the period of PRTX-100 treatment To evaluate the development of anti-PRTX-100 antibodies To explore feasibility of joint evaluations with ultrasound To explore feasibility of biomarkers as disease markersPhase:

3. Receiving methotrexate or leflunomide therapy for at least 12 weeks
4. Must be on a stable weekly dose of methotrexate (12.5 to 25 mg) or daily leflunomide
(10-20 mg/day) by the same route of administration for at least 3 weeks prior to the
start of study drug.
5. Agrees to notify the investigator when deviating from protocol requirements for

for the full duration of the study. Women physically capable of pregnancy (not
sterilized and still menstruating or within 1 year of the last menses if menopausal)
in sexual relationships with men must use an acceptable method of avoiding pregnancy
during this period. Acceptable methods of avoiding pregnancy include a sterile sexual
partner, sexual abstinence (not engaging in sexual intercourse), hormonal
contraceptives (oral, injection, transdermal patch, or implant), vaginal ring,
intrauterine device (IUD), or the combination of a condom or diaphragm with
spermicide.
Part A Exclusion Criteria:
1. Diagnosis of any other inflammatory arthritis (e.g. psoriatic arthritis,
spondyloarthropathy, gout)
2. ACR Functional Classification IV
3. Systemic involvement secondary to rheumatoid arthritis (vasculitis, pulmonary fibrosis
or Felty's syndrome. Secondary Sjogren's syndrome is permitted.
4. Any receipt of abatacept, adalimumab, certolizumab pegol, etanercept, golimumab,
tocilizumab or tofacitinib within 3 weeks of Study Day 0
5. Any receipt of infliximab within 6 weeks of Study Day 0
6. Any receipt of rituximab or other anti-CD20 antibodies within 12 months of study day 0
7. Any receipt of another investigational product within 4 weeks or 4 half-lives
whichever is longer prior to Study Day 0
8. Hepatitis B surface antigen positive, HIV positive, hepatitis C antibody positive
9. Uncontrolled Type 2 Diabetes or Type I diabetes
10. Positive urine pregnancy test
11. Diagnosis of hepatic cirrhosis
12. Urinalysis must reflect no evidence of systemic or local disease process
13. Severe anemia, defined as < 10 g/dL or hematocrit < 30%
14. Evidence of significant active infection
15. Shared a residence within the last year with an individual on anti-tuberculosis
treatment or with culture or smear positive tuberculosis
16. Previous medical history that may compromise the safety of the subject in the study,
including but not limited to: severe impairment of pulmonary function or other
pulmonary disease; chronic illness with signs of cardiac or renal failure; suspected
progressive neurological disease or poorly controlled epilepsy
17. Evidence of a new acute illness that may compromise the safety of the subject in the
study
18. History or evidence on physical examination of any systemic disease or any acute or
chronic illness that, in the opinion of the investigator, may interfere with the
evaluation of the safety of the study drug
19. History or evidence (including chest X-ray) of active tuberculosis
20. Any current medical, psychiatric, occupational, or substance abuse problems that, in
the opinion of the investigator, will make it unlikely that the subject will comply
with the protocol.
