An Exploratory Phase 2, Randomized, Double-blind, Multicenter Study To Assess The Effects Of Tofacitinib (Cp-690,550) On Magnetic Resonance Imaging Endpoints, In Methotrexate Naive Subjects With Early Active Rheumatoid Arthritis

Evaluation of efficacy and safety of tofacitinib (CP-690,550) for the treatment of early rheumatoid arthritis in adult patients with moderate to severe disease who are methotrexate naïve. The efficacy will be evaluated by exploring the effects on joint structure assessed by magnetic resonance imaging, x-rays and by standard clinical assessment.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change From Baseline to Month 3 in Outcome Measures in Rheumatoid Arthritis Clinical Trials (OMERACT) Rheumatoid Arthritis Magnetic Resonance Imaging Score (RAMRIS) Wrist and Metacarpophalangeal (MCP) Synovitis
Time Frame: Month 3
Synovitis is defined as an area in the synovial compartment that shows above normal postgadolinium enhancement of a thickness greater than the width of the normal synovium. T1-weighted images were acquired before and after the administration of intravenous contrast agent containing gadolinium. Intravenous contrast was required to demonstrate enhancing synovitis. Synovitis was scored 0 to 3 in 3 wrist regions and in each of the first through fifth MCP joints. A score of 0 is normal, with no enhancement or enhancement up to the thickness of normal synovium, while scores of 1 to 3 (mild, moderate, severe) refer to increments of one-third of the presumed maximum volume of enhancing tissue in the synovial compartment. Total synovitis score ranges from a minimum of 0 to a maximum of 24. A negative value in synovitis change from Baseline score indicates an improvement.
Month 3
Change From Baseline to Month 6 in OMERACT RAMRIS Wrist and MCP Bone Marrow Edema
Time Frame: Month 6
Bone edema was assessed at 25 anatomic locations: 15 in 1 wrist and 10 in attached hand. Bone edema was defined as a lesion within the trabecular bone, with ill-defined margins and signal characteristics consistent with increased water content. Each bone was scored separately; the scale was 0-3 based on the proportion of bone with edema, as follows 0: no edema; 1: 1-33% of bone edematous; 2: 34-66% of bone edematous; 3: 67-100%. OMERACT RAMRIS total bone edema score for hands/wrists was sum of the individual scores for each location. Thus the maximum score per hand/wrist was 75 (range 0-75). Increasing score=greater severity.
Month 6

Secondary Outcome Measures

T1-weighted images were acquired before and after the administration of intravenous contrast agent containing gadolinium. Intravenous contrast was required to demonstrate enhancing synovitis. Synovitis was scored 0 to 3 in 3 wrist regions and in each of the first through fifth MCP joints.

Total synovitis score ranges from a minimum of 0 to a maximum of 24. A negative value in synovitis change from Baseline score indicates an improvement.
Months 1, 6, and 12
Change From Baseline to Months 1, 3, and 12 in OMERACT RAMRIS Bone Marrow Edema in Wrist and MCP
Time Frame: Months 1, 3, and 12
Bone edema was assessed at 25 anatomic locations: 15 in 1 wrist and 10 in attached hand. Bone edema was defined as a lesion within the trabecular bone, with ill-defined margins and signal characteristics consistent with increased water content. Each bone was scored separately; the scale was 0â€"3 based on the proportion of bone with edema, as follows 0: no edema; 1: 1â€"33% of bone edematous; 2: 34â€"66% of bone edematous; 3: 67â€"100%. OMERACT RAMRIS total bone edema score for hands/wrists was sum of the individual scores for each location. Thus the maximum score per hand/wrist was 75 (range 0-75). Increasing score=greater severity.
Months 1, 3, and 12
Change From Baseline to Months 1, 3, 6, and 12 in OMERACT RAMRIS Wrist and MCP Erosions
Time Frame: Months 1, 3, 6, and 12
Bone erosion assessed at 25 anatomic locations: 15 in 1 wrist and 10 in attached hand. Each site was scored in 1.0 increments from 0 (no damage) to 10 (severe damage), indicating erosion (each unit=10% bone loss) of original articular bone. OMERACT RAMRIS total erosion score for hands/wrists was sum of the individual scores for each location. Thus the maximum score per hand/wrist is 250 (range 0-250). Increasing score=greater severity.
Months 1, 3, 6, and 12
Modified Total Sharp Score (mTSS) at Months 6 and 12
Time Frame: Months 6 and 12
