A Study of RoActemra/Actemra (Tocilizumab) Versus Adalimumab in Combination With Methotrexate (MTX) in Patients With Moderate to Severe Active Rheumatoid Arthritis And an Inadequate Response to Treatment With Only One Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF)-Inhibitor

January 9, 2014 updated by: Hoffmann-La Roche

A Randomized, Open-label, Parallel-group Study of the Reduction of Signs and Symptoms During Treatment With Tocilizumab Versus Adalimumab, Both in Combination With MTX, in Patients With Moderate to Severe Active Rheumatoid Arthritis and an Inadequate Response to Treatment With Only One TNF Inhibitor

This randomized, parallel-group study will assess the efficacy and safety of RoActemra/Actemra (tocilizumab) versus adalimumab, both in combination with methotrexate (MTX) in patients with moderate to severe active rheumatoid arthritis. Patients, already treated with MTX at stable doses, will be randomized to receive either RoActemra/Actemra 8 mg/kg intravenously (IV) every 4 weeks or adalimumab 40 mg subcutaneous (SC) every 2 weeks. All patients will receive methotrexate (10-25 mg weekly) and folate (at least 5 mg weekly). The anticipated time on study treatment is 24 weeks.

Baseline, Week 24
Change From Baseline in Health Assessment Questionnaire-Disability Index (HAQ-DI) Score at Week 24
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 24
The Stanford Health Assessment Questionnaire Disability Index (HAQ-DI) is a patient completed questionnaire specific for rheumatoid arthritis, consisting of 20 questions in 8 domains: dressing/grooming, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip and common daily activities. There are 4 possible responses for each question: 0=without any difficulty, 1=with some difficulty, 2=with much difficulty and 3=unable to do. The score for each of the domains is the highest (worst) score in each domain. A patient must have a domain score for at least 6 of 8 domains to calculate a valid HAQ-DI score which is the sum of domain scores, divided by the number of domains that have a score for a total possible score minimum/maximum 0 (best) to 3 (worst). A negative change from Baseline indicated improvement.
Baseline, Week 24
Change From Baseline in the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue Scale (FACIT-Fatigue) Score at Week 24
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 24
FACIT-F is a 13-item questionnaire. Patients scored each item on a 5-point scale: 0 (Not at all) to 4 (Very much). The larger the patient's response to the questions (with the exception of 2 negatively stated), the greater the patient's fatigue. For all questions, except for the 2 negatively stated ones, the code was reversed and a new score was calculated as (4 minus the patient's response). The sum of all responses resulted in the FACIT-Fatigue score for a total possible score of 0 (worse score) to 52 (better score). A higher score reflects an improvement in the patient's health status. A positive change from Baseline indicates improvement.
Baseline, Week 24
Change From Baseline in Quality of Life Short Form (SF-36) Score at Week 24
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 24
The SF-36 is a questionnaire used to assess physical functioning and is made up of eight domains: Physical Functioning, Role Physical, Bodily Pain, General Health, Vitality, Social Functioning, Role-Emotional and Mental Health. Transforming and standardizing these domains leads to the calculation of the Physical (PCS) and Mental (MCS) Component Summary measures. Scores ranging from 0 to 100, with 0=worst score (or quality of life) and 100=best score. A positive change from baseline indicates improvement.
Baseline, Week 24
Change From Baseline in Routine Assessment of Patient Index Data 3 (RAPID3) Score at Week 24
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 24
RAPID3 is a patient self reported assessment that combines the HAQ-DI [20 questions referring to 8 domains: dressing/grooming, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip; common daily activities. Each domain has at least 2 component questions answered on a 4-point scale where 0=without any difficulty to 3=unable to do} converted to a score of 0-10, the Patients Assessment of Pain [Over the previous 24 hours: using a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) left end of the line 0=no pain to right end of the line 100=unbearable pain] converted to a score of 0-10 and the Patient's Global Assessment of Disease Activity [over the previous 24 hours using a VAS where left end of the line 0=no disease activity to right end of the line 100=maximum disease activity] converted to a score of 0-10. The 3 individual scales are summed for a raw score of 0-30 which is divided by 3 to achieve a total possible adjusted score of 0-10. A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement.
