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

7. Juni 2013 aktualisiert von: 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.

Studienübersicht

Detaillierte Beschreibung

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
Zeitfenster: 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.

Baseline and 52 Weeks
Change From Baseline in Modified Total Sharp Score (mTSS) at Week 52
Zeitfenster: 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
Zeitfenster: 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.
Baseline and Week 52
Number of Participants Meeting American College of Rheumatology 50% (ACR50) Response Criteria at Week 104
Zeitfenster: Baseline and Week 104

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);

Change From Baseline in Modified Total Sharp Score (mTSS) at Week 104
Zeitfenster: Baseline and Week 104
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 104 were scored in a blinded manner. Joints were scored for erosions on a scale of 0 (no damage) to 5 (complete collapse) and joint space narrowing on a scale of 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.
Baseline and Week 104
Number of Participants Who Achieved Clinical Remission, Defined as a Disease Activity 28 (DAS28) Score < 2.6 at Week 52
Zeitfenster: Week 52
The DAS28 is a validated index of rheumatoid arthritis disease activity. Twenty-eight tender joint counts, 28 swollen joint counts, C reactive protein, and general health were 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.
Week 52
Change From Baseline in the Physical Component of the Short Form-36 Health Status Survey (SF-36) at Week 52
Zeitfenster: Baseline and Week 52
The SF-36 determined participants' overall quality of life by assessing 1) limitations in physical functioning due to health problems; 2) limitations in usual role because of physical health problems; 3) bodily pain; 4) general health perceptions; 5) vitality; 6) limitations in social functioning because of physical or emotional problems; 7) limitations in usual role due to emotional problems; and 8) general mental health. Items 1-4 comprise the physical component of the SF-36. Scores on each item were summed and averaged (range = 0-100); increases from Baseline indicate improvement.

Zeitfenster: 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.
