A Study Investigating the Efficacy and Safety of ABT-494 Given With Methotrexate in Subjects With Rheumatoid Arthritis Who Failed Anti-Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) Biologic Therapy

July 29, 2021 updated by: AbbVie

A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Phase 2 Study to Investigate the Safety and Efficacy of ABT-494 Given With Methotrexate (MTX) in Subjects With Moderately to Severely Active Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) Who Have Had an Inadequate Response or Intolerance to Anti-TNF Biologic Therapy

The primary objective is to compare the safety and efficacy of multiple doses of ABT-494 versus placebo in moderately to severely active RA subjects on stable background MTX therapy with inadequate response or intolerance to anti-TNF biologic therapy.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) based on either the 1987-revised American College of Rheumatology (ACR) classification criteria or the 2010 American College of Rheumatology/European League against Rheumatism (ACR/EULAR) criteria for ≥ 3 months.
  • Subjects must have been receiving oral or parenteral methotrexate (MTX) therapy ≥ 3 months and on a stable prescription of 7.5 to 25 mg/week for at least 4 weeks prior to initiating the study drug. Subjects should also be on a stable dose of folic acid (or equivalent) for at least 4 weeks prior to initiating the study drug. Subjects should continue with their stable doses of MTX and folic acid throughout the study
  • Subjects have been treated with 1 or more anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) biologics (no maximum cap) for ≥ 3 months but continue to exhibit active RA, or had to discontinue due to intolerability or toxicity. In addition, subjects with prior exposure to non-anti-TNF biologic(s) (no maximum cap) (e.g., abatacept, rituximab, anakinra, or tocilizumab) are allowed.
  • Have active RA as defined by the following minimum disease activity criteria: ≥ 6 swollen joints (based on 66 joint counts) at Screening and Baseline, ≥ 6 tender joints (based on 68 joint counts) at Screening and Baseline, high sensitivity C reactive protein (hs-CRP) > Upper Limit of Normal (ULN) OR positive for both rheumatoid factor and anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (anti-CCP) antibody.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Prior exposure to Janus Activated Kinase (JAK) inhibitor (e.g. tofacitinib, baricitinib)
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding female
  • Ongoing or active infection.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of Subjects Achieving American College of Rheumatology 20% (ACR20) Response at Week 12
Time Frame: Baseline (Week 0) and Week 12
Response defined as at least 20% reduction (improvement) compared with baseline in tender joint count (TJC68), swollen joint count (SJC66), and at least 3 of the 5 remaining ACR core set measures: patient's assessment of pain, patient's global assessment of disease activity (PtGA); physician's global assessment of disease activity (PGA), Health Assessment Questionnaire - Disability Index (HAQ-DI), and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs CRP). Last observation carried forward (LOCF) was used for missing data.
Baseline (Week 0) and Week 12

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of Subjects Achieving American College of Rheumatology 50% (ACR50) Response at Week 12
Time Frame: Baseline (Week 0) and Week 12
Response defined as at least 50% reduction (improvement) compared with baseline in tender joint count (TJC68), swollen joint count (SJC66), and at least 3 of the 5 remaining ACR core set measures: patient's assessment of pain, PtGA; PGA, HAQ-DI, and hs CRP. LOCF was used.
Baseline (Week 0) and Week 12
Number of Subjects Achieving American College of Rheumatology 70% (ACR70) Response at Week 12
Time Frame: Baseline (Week 0) and Week 12
Response defined as at least 70% reduction (improvement) compared with baseline in tender joint count (TJC68), swollen joint count (SJC66), and at least 3 of the 5 remaining ACR core set measures: patient's assessment of pain, PtGA; PGA, HAQ-DI, and hs CRP. LOCF was used.
Baseline (Week 0) and Week 12
Number of Subjects Achieving Low Disease Activity (LDA) Based on Disease Activity Score (DAS28) or Clinical Remission (CR) Based on (DAS28) at Week 12
Time Frame: Baseline (Week 0) and Week 12
LDA is defined as DAS28 from 2.6 to < 3.2 at Week 12. CR is defined as DAS28 (CRP) < 2.6 at Week 12. The DAS28 is a validated index of rheumatoid arthritis disease activity. Twenty-eight tender joint counts, 28 swollen joint counts, hs CRP, and general health are included in the DAS28 score. Scores on the DAS28 range from 0 to 10. A DAS28 score >5.1 indicates high disease activity, a DAS28 score <3.2 indicates low disease activity, and a DAS28 score <2.6 indicates clinical remission. LOCF was used.
