A Study of Tocilizumab and Methotrexate Treatment Strategies (Adding Tocilizumab to Methotrexate Versus Switching to Tocilizumab) in Patients With Active Rheumatoid Arthritis With Inadequate Response to Prior Methotrexate Treatment

2014年7月16日 更新者:Hoffmann-La Roche

Randomized Placebo-controlled Study of Two Treatment Strategies Based on Tocilizumab (TCZ) With or Without Methotrexate (MTX) and Possible Addition of Other Disease-modifying Anti-rheumatic Drugs (DMARDs) in Patients...

This 2 arm study will compare 2 treatment strategies based on tocilizumab in combination with methotrexate or placebo in patients with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis. Patients receiving methotrexate treatment will be randomized to receive either a) tocilizumab 8 mg intravenous (iv) every 4 weeks + methotrexate orally (po) weekly or b) tocilizumab 8 mg iv every 4 weeks + placebo po weekly. After the first 24 weeks of blinded treatment, treatment adjustments (increase or decrease of treatment intensity) may be introduced at intervals, based on response. The anticipated time on study treatment is up to 3 years, and the target sample size is approximately 470 patients.

介入・治療
実験的:Tocilizumab + Methotrexate
Tocilizumab 8 mg/kg (up to 800 mg) intravenous (IV) once every 4 weeks + weekly oral methotrexate continuing at the patient's pre-study dose for 24 weeks. Patients taking oral corticosteroids remained on their pre-study dose (up to 10 mg/day). Week 24 to Week 52 the dose of tocilizumab and methotrexate remained the same. Based on DAS28 assessments, corticosteroid dose was adjusted and disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDS) added. Week 52 to Week 104, based on the DAS28 assessment, treatment was adjusted to one of four protocol specified treatment regimens: Treatment tapering, Continued treatment, Treatment intensification or Maintenance treatment. After Week 100, patients who discontinued tocilizumab because of remission were retreated with the last effective dose of tocilizumab or blinded methotrexate if a flare occurred.

メジャーの説明
時間枠
Percentage of Participants With Disease Activity Score 28 Joints (DAS28) Remission at Week 24
時間枠:Week 24
The DAS28 score is a measure of the patient's disease activity calculated using the tender joint count (TJC) [28 joints], swollen joint count (SJC) [28 joints], patient's global assessment of disease activity [visual analog scale: 0=no disease activity to 100=maximum disease activity] and the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) for a total possible score of 0 to approximately 10. Scores below 2.6 indicate best disease control and scores above 5.1 indicate worse disease control. DAS28 Remission is defined as a DAS28 score < 2.6.

Change From Baseline in the Health Assessment Questionnaire Disability Index
時間枠:Baseline, Weeks 24, 52
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.

Change From Baseline in Total Genant Modified Sharp Scores (GSS)
時間枠:Baseline, Weeks 24, 52, 104
Radiographs were taken of each hand and foot at Baseline, Weeks 24, 52 and104 and were evaluated using the Genant modified method according to Sharp. Erosion Score: A total of 14 locations in each hand and wrist and 6 joints in the foot were evaluated for erosion using an 8-point scale where 0=Normal to 3.5=very severe erosion. Joint Narrowing Score: A total of 13 locations in each hand and wrist and 6 joints in the foot were evaluated for joint narrowing score using a 9-point scale where 0=Normal to 4.0=definite ankylosis (stiffness or fixation of a joint). The maximum total erosion score in the hands is 98 and in the feet 42. The maximum scores for joint space narrowing (JSN) in the hands was104 and in the feet 48. The total score was the sum of scores for erosions and JSN. The maximum total modified GSS was 292. A lower number change from Baseline was better. Analysis of covariance model, with Baseline DAS28 as a covariate and treatment and site as fixed factors.

Change From Baseline in Joint Space Narrowing Score
時間枠:Baseline, Weeks 24, 52, 104
A total of 13 locations in each hand and wrist and 6 joints in the foot were evaluated for joint narrowing score using a 9-point scale where 0=Normal to 4.0=definite ankylosis (stiffness or fixation of a joint). The maximum scores for joint space narrowing (JSN) in the hands was 104 and in the feet 48 for a total possible score of 0 to 152. A lower change from Baseline indicated a better score. Analysis of covariance model included baseline x-ray and DAS28 as covariates and treatment group and region as fixed effects.

Change From Baseline in Erosion Score
時間枠:Baseline, Weeks 24, 52, 104
A total of 14 locations in each hand and wrist and 6 joints in the foot were evaluated for erosion using an 8-point scale where 0=Normal to 3.5=very severe erosion. The maximum erosion score in the hands was 98 and in the feet 42 for a total possible score of 0 to 140. A lower number change from Baseline indicated a better score.
Baseline, Weeks 24, 52, 104
Percentage of Participants Discontinuing Tocilizumab Due to Remission
時間枠:Weeks 52, 104
The percentage of participants who stopped treatment with tocilizumab due to remission.
Weeks 52, 104
Percentage of Participants Who Withdrew Due to Lack of Sufficient Therapeutic Response
時間枠:Up to 3 years
Lack of Sufficient Therapeutic Response was defined as the patient not responding to the drug as expected.
Up to 3 years
Percentage of Participants Who Withdrew Due to Safety Reasons
時間枠:Up to 3 years
Safety reasons were defined as adverse events, intercurrent illness or death. An adverse event was considered any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease associated with the use of the study drug, whether or not considered related to the study drug. Preexisting conditions that worsened during the study were reported as adverse events.
Up to 3 years
Change From Baseline in Rheumatoid Arthritis Quality of Life Questionnaire (RAQoL)
時間枠:Baseline, Weeks 24, 52, 104
The RAQoL is a disease specific patient-reported outcome measure that determines the effect rheumatoid arthritis has on a patient's quality of life consisting of 30 questions that are answered either yes=1 or no=0 for a total possible score ranging from 0 (best) to 30 (worst). A negative change from Baseline indicated improvement.
Baseline, Weeks 24, 52, 104
Change From Baseline in Academic Medical Center (AMC) Linear Disability Scale (ALDS)
時間枠:Baseline, Weeks 104
The Academic Medical Center (AMC) Linear Disability Score (ALDS) evaluates the participant's ability to perform activities of daily life consisting of 77 questions answered yes or no . The question difficulty and the patient's ability are arranged on a single hierarchical linear scale. ALDS scores range from 10 to 90 with a higher score representing higher functional status. A positive change from Baseline indicated improvement.

Area Under the Curve (AUC) From Baseline to Week 24 for ACR Response
時間枠:Baseline to Week 24
ACR response was defined as an improvement (reduction) compared with baseline for both total joint count-68 joints and swollen joint count-66 joints, and for three of five variables: Patient's Assessment of Pain over the previous 24 hours: using a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) where 0=no pain to 100=unbearable pain; Patient's Global Assessment of Disease Activity and Physician's Global Assessment of Disease Activity over the previous 24 hours using a VAS where: 0=no disease activity to 100=maximum disease activity; Health Assessment Questionnaire: 20 questions, 8 components: dressing/grooming, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip and activities, 0=without difficulty to 3=unable to do; and acute-phase reactant [either C-reactive protein or Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate]. Area under the curve for ACR response to Week 24 was averaged over study days. Analysis of covariance model includes treatment group, region and baseline DAS28 (≤ 5.5 and > 5.5) as fixed factors.
