Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: Treatment
  • Allocation: Randomized
  • Interventional Model: Parallel Assignment
  • Masking: Quadruple

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: 1
T-614 is administered twice daily in combination with methotrexate. The daily dose of T-614 is 25 mg for the first 4 weeks and 50 mg for subsequent weeks.
Placebo Comparator: 2
Placebo is administered twice daily in combination with methotrexate. In placebo group, patients will receive T-614 after completing 28 weeks of treatment.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percentage of American College of Rheumatology [ACR] 20 Criteria Responders
Time Frame: Week 24 Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF) (for T-614 arm and placebo arm) and Week 52 LOCF (for T-614 arm and placebo/T614 arm)
ACR20 response is defined as at least a 20% improvement in tender joint count and swollen joint count, and in three of five of the following measures: patient pain intensity assessment, patient global assessment, physician global assessment, Health assessment questionnaire disability index (HAQ-DI), and an acute phase reactant [erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) or C-reactive protein (CRP)].
Week 24 Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF) (for T-614 arm and placebo arm) and Week 52 LOCF (for T-614 arm and placebo/T614 arm)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change From Baseline in Tender Joint Counts and Swollen Joint Counts
Time Frame: Week 24 LOCF (for T-614 arm and placebo arm) and Week 52 LOCF (for T614 arm and placebo/T614 arm)
Assessment of individual ACR core components like Tender Joint Counts (TJC) and Swollen Joint Counts (SJC)
Week 24 LOCF (for T-614 arm and placebo arm) and Week 52 LOCF (for T614 arm and placebo/T614 arm)
Change From Baseline in PAP, PtGADA and PyGADA
Time Frame: Week 24 LOCF (for T-614 arm and placebo arm) and Week 52 LOCF (for T614 arm and placebo/T614 arm)
Patient's assessment of pain (PAP), patient's global assessment of disease activity (PtGADA) and physician's global assessment of disease activity (PyGADA) each was assessed on a visual analog scale ranging from 0-100 mm, with higher scores indicating severe disease.
Week 24 LOCF (for T-614 arm and placebo arm) and Week 52 LOCF (for T614 arm and placebo/T614 arm)
Change From Baseline in Health Assessment Questionnaire Disability Index (HAQ-DI)
Time Frame: Week 24 LOCF (for T-614 arm and placebo arm) and Week 52 LOCF (for T614 arm and placebo/T614 arm)
HAQ-DI was a participant assessed measure of health assessment, measured on a single scale ranging from 0 (no difficulty) to 3 (unable to do), with higher scores indicating severe disease.
Week 24 LOCF (for T-614 arm and placebo arm) and Week 52 LOCF (for T614 arm and placebo/T614 arm)
Change From Baseline in C-reactive Protein (CRP)
Time Frame: Week 24 LOCF (for T-614 arm and placebo arm) and Week 52 LOCF (for T614 arm and placebo/T614 arm)
Assessment of individual ACR core components i.e. CRP
Week 24 LOCF (for T-614 arm and placebo arm) and Week 52 LOCF (for T614 arm and placebo/T614 arm)
Change From Baseline in Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR)
Time Frame: Week 24 LOCF (for T-614 arm and placebo arm) and Week 52 LOCF (for T614 arm and placebo/T614 arm)
Assessment of individual ACR core components i.e. ESR
Week 24 LOCF (for T-614 arm and placebo arm) and Week 52 LOCF (for T614 arm and placebo/T614 arm)
Disease Activity Score in 28 Joints (DAS28): The Rates of Remission (DAS28-CRP Less Than 2.6), and Low Disease Activity (DAS28-CRP Less Than 3.2)
Time Frame: Week 24 LOCF (for T-614 arm and placebo arm) and Week 52 LOCF (for T614 arm and placebo/T614 arm)
The DAS28 is a composite score derived from 4 of these measures i.e count of 28 swollen joints, 28 tender joints, measure erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) or C reactive protein (CRP) and to make a 'global assessment of health' (indicated by marking a 10 cm line between very good and very bad). DAS28 is assessed as score on scale from 0 to 10 indicating current rheumatoid arthritis (RA) disease activity (0= low disease activity and 10 = high disease activity).
Week 24 LOCF (for T-614 arm and placebo arm) and Week 52 LOCF (for T614 arm and placebo/T614 arm)
Percentage of ACR 50 Criteria Responders
Time Frame: Week 24 LOCF (for T-614 arm and placebo arm) and Week 52 LOCF (for T614 arm and placebo/T614 arm)
ACR50 response is defined as at least a 50% improvement in tender joint count and swollen joint count, and in three of five of the following measures: patient pain intensity assessment, patient global assessment, physician global assessment, Health assessment questionnaire disability index (HAQ-DI), and an acute phase reactant [erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) or C-reactive protein (CRP)].
Week 24 LOCF (for T-614 arm and placebo arm) and Week 52 LOCF (for T614 arm and placebo/T614 arm)
Percentage of ACR 70 Criteria Responders
Time Frame: Week 24 LOCF (for T-614 arm and placebo arm) and Week 52 LOCF (for T614 arm and placebo/T614 arm)
ACR70 response is defined as at least a 70% improvement in tender joint count and swollen joint count, and in three of five of the following measures: patient pain intensity assessment, patient global assessment, physician global assessment, Health assessment questionnaire disability index (HAQ-DI), and an acute phase reactant [erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) or C-reactive protein (CRP)].
Week 24 LOCF (for T-614 arm and placebo arm) and Week 52 LOCF (for T614 arm and placebo/T614 arm)
