Efficacy and Safety of Adalimumab and Methotrexate (MTX) Versus MTX Monotherapy in Subjects With Early Rheumatoid Arthritis (PREMIER)

7. června 2013 aktualizováno: AbbVie (prior sponsor, Abbott)

A Prospective Multi-Centre Randomised, Double-Blind, Active Comparator-Controlled, Parallel-Groups Study Comparing the Fully Human Monoclonal Anti-TNFα Antibody Adalimumab Given Every Second Week With Methotrexate Given Weekly and the Combination of Adalimumab and Methotrexate Administered Over 2 Years in Patients With Early Rheumatoid Arthritis (PREMIER).

The purpose of the study is to assess the safety and efficacy of adalimumab in combination with methotrexate in patients with recent onset rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and to assess the long-term safety and maintenance of efficacy after treatment with adalimumab for up to 10 years.

Přehled studie

Detailní popis

This study had an initial 2-year double-blind treatment period followed by an 8-year open-label extension period, for a total of up to 10 years study duration. The study was designed to assess the potential of adalimumab + methotrexate to improve signs and symptoms of disease and to inhibit radiographic progression in patients with recent onset (disease duration less than 3 years) rheumatoid arthritis not previously treated with methotrexate. Adalimumab is a human anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) monoclonal antibody.

Number of Participants Meeting American College of Rheumatology 50% (ACR50) Response Criteria at Week 52
Časové okno: Baseline and 52 Weeks

American College of Rheumatology 50% (ACR50) response. A participant was a responder if the following 3 criteria for improvement from Baseline were met:

  • ≥ 50% improvement in tender joint count;
  • ≥ 50% improvement in swollen joint count; and
  • ≥ 50% improvement in at least 3 of the 5 following parameters:

    • Patient's assessment of pain (measured on a 100 mm visual analog scale [VAS]);
    • Patient's global assessment of disease activity (measured on a 100 mm VAS);
    • Physician's global assessment of disease activity (measured on a 100 mm VAS);
    • Patient's self-assessment of physical function (Health Assessment Questionnaire - Disability Index (HAQ-DI));
    • Acute phase reactant value (C-Reactive Protein).

Participants who withdrew early were considered non-responders.

Change From Baseline in Modified Total Sharp Score (mTSS) at Week 52
Časové okno: Baseline and Week 52
The modified Total Sharp Score (mTSS) is a measure of change in joint health. Digitized images of radiographs of hands and feet obtained at screening and Week 52 were scored in a blinded manner. Joints were scored for erosions on a scale from 0 (no damage) to 5 (complete collapse) and joint space narrowing on a scale from 0 (no damage) to 4 (ankylosis or complete dislocation). Erosion scores and narrowing scores were added to obtain the mTSS (range = 0 [normal] to 398 [maximal disease]). An increase in mTSS from Baseline represents disease progression and/or joint worsening, no change represents halting of disease progression, and a decrease represents improvement.

Change From Baseline in the Health Assessment Questionnaire - Disability Index (HAQ-DI) at Week 52
Časové okno: Baseline and Week 52
The Health Assessment Questionnaire - Disability Index is a patient-reported questionnaire specific for rheumatoid arthritis. It consists of 20 questions referring to eight domains: dressing/grooming, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip, and daily activities. Participants assessed their ability to do each task over the past week using the following response categories: without any difficulty (0); with some difficulty (1); with much difficulty (2); and unable to do (3). Scores on each task were summed and averaged to provide an overall score ranging from 0 to 3, where zero represents no disability and three very severe, high-dependency disability. Negative mean changes from Baseline in the overall score indicate improvement.

Časové okno: Baseline and Weeks 12, 26, 76, and 104
The Health Assessment Questionnaire - Disability Index is a patient-reported questionnaire specific for rheumatoid arthritis. It consists of 20 questions referring to eight domains: dressing/grooming, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip, and daily activities. Participants assessed their ability to do each task over the past week using the following response categories: without any difficulty (0); with some difficulty (1); with much difficulty (2); and unable to do (3). Scores on each task were summed and averaged to provide an overall score ranging from 0 to 3, where zero represents no disability and three very severe, high-dependency disability. Negative mean changes from Baseline in the overall score indicate improvement.
