Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study was to assess efficacy, including inhibition of radiographic progression, and safety with upadacitinib versus placebo and versus an active comparator, adalimumab, in adults with with moderately to severely active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who are on a stable background of methotrexate (MTX and who have an inadequate response to MTX.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
Phase 3

Detailed Description

This study consists of a 48-week double-blind treatment period (Period 1) and a long-term extension period (Period 2).

Period 1 is a 48-week randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, placebo-controlled and active comparator-controlled period designed to compare the safety and efficacy of upadacitinib versus placebo, and versus adalimumab. Participants will be randomized in a 2:2:1 ratio to one of three treatment groups:

  • Placebo (up to Week 26)

  • Upadacitinib 15 mg once daily (QD)

  • Adalimumab 40 mg every other week (eow)

Participants randomized to placebo who do not achieve a ≥ 20% improvement in tender joint count (TJC) and swollen joint count (SJC) at Weeks 14, 18, or 22 compared to Baseline will be switched to blinded upadacitinib treatment. At Week 26, all participants still receiving placebo will be switched to blinded upadacitinib treatment regardless of clinical response.

Participants randomized to adalimumab who do not achieve a ≥ 20% improvement in TJC and SJC at Weeks 14, 18, or 22 compared to Baseline will be switched to blinded upadacitinib. Participants still receiving adalimumab at Week 26 who do not achieve low disease activity (LDA) according to Clinical Disease Activity Index (CDAI; LDA is defined as CDAI ≤ 10) will be switched to blinded upadacitinib treatment to Week 48.

Participants randomized to upadacitinib who do not achieve a ≥ 20% improvement in TJC and SJC at Weeks 14, 18, or 22 compared to Baseline will be switched to blinded adalimumab; participants still receiving upadacitinib at Week 26 who do not achieve LDA (CDAI ≤ 10) will be switched to blinded adalimumab treatment to Week 48.

Participants who complete the Week 48 visit (end of Period 1) will enter the long-term extension phase of the study (Period 2), for up to 5 years. Participants will continue study treatment as assigned at the end of Period 1. Starting at the Week 48 and thereafter, at least 20% improvement in both TJC and SJC compared to Baseline is required to remain on study drug. Anyone who does not fulfill this criterion at 2 consecutive visits (starting at Week 48) will be discontinued.

  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Percentage of Participants With an American College of Rheumatology 20% (ACR20) Response at Week 12 [Baseline and Week 12]

      The primary endpoint for United States (US)/Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulatory purposes was ACR 20% response (ACR20) at Week 12. Participants who met the following 3 conditions for improvement from baseline were classified as meeting the ACR20 response criteria: ≥ 20% improvement in 68-tender joint count; ≥ 20% improvement in 66-swollen joint count; and ≥ 20% improvement in at least 3 of the 5 following parameters: Physician global assessment of disease activity Patient global assessment of disease activity Patient assessment of pain Health Assessment Questionnaire - Disability Index (HAQ-DI) High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP).

    2. Percentage of Participants Achieving Clinical Remission (CR) Based on DAS28(CRP) at Week 12 [Week 12]

      The primary endpoint for European Union (EU)/European Medicines Agency (EMA) regulatory purposes was clinical remission, based on a Disease Activity Score 28 (DAS28)-CRP score of < 2.6 at Week 12. The DAS28 is a composite index used to assess rheumatoid arthritis disease activity, calculated based on the tender joint count (out of 28 evaluated joints), swollen joint count (out of 28 evaluated joints), Patient's Global Assessment of Disease Activity (0-100 mm), and hsCRP (in mg/L). Scores on the DAS28 range from 0 to approximately 10, where higher scores indicate more disease activity. A DAS28 score less than 2.6 indicates clinical remission.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Change From Baseline in DAS28 (CRP) at Week 12 [Baseline and Week 12]

      The DAS28 is a composite index used to assess rheumatoid arthritis disease activity, calculated based on the tender joint count (out of 28 evaluated joints), swollen joint count (out of 28 evaluated joints), Patient's Global Assessment of Disease Activity (0-100 mm), and hsCRP (in mg/L). Scores on the DAS28 range from 0 to approximately 10, where higher scores indicate more disease activity. A negative change from Baseline in DAS28 (CRP) indicates improvement in disease activity.

    2. Change From Baseline in Modified Total Sharp Score (mTSS) at Week 26 [Baseline and Week 26]

      The mTSS measures the level of joint damage from radiographs of the hands and feet, assessed by 2 independent, blinded readers. mTSS is calculated as the sum of the total joint erosion score and total joint space narrowing (JSN) score. Joint erosion severity was assessed in 16 joints in each hand and wrist and 6 joints in each foot. Each joint was scored from 0 (no erosion) to 5 for hands/wrists or to 10 for feet (complete collapse). The total erosion score ranges from 0 to 280 (worst). JSN was assessed in 15 joints of each hand and wrist, and 6 joints of each foot, including subluxation, from 0 (normal) to 4 (complete loss of joint space, bony ankylosis, or luxation). The total JSN score ranges from 0 to 168 (worst). The mTSS is the sum of the joint erosion and JSN scores and ranges from 0 (normal) to 448 (worst). A negative change from Baseline in mTSS indicates improvement in joint damage whereas a change from Baseline greater than 0 indicates progression.

    3. Change From Baseline in Health Assessment Questionnaire Disability Index (HAQ-DI) at Week 12 [Baseline and Week 12]

      The Health Assessment Questionnaire - Disability Index is a patient-reported questionnaire that measures the degree of difficulty a person has in accomplishing tasks in 8 functional areas (dressing, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reaching, gripping, and errands and chores) over the past week. Participants assessed their ability to do each task on a scale from 0 (without any difficulty) to 3 (unable to do). Scores were averaged to provide an overall score ranging from 0 to 3, where 0 represents no disability and 3 represents very severe, high-dependency disability. A negative change from Baseline in the overall score indicates improvement.

    4. Percentage of Participants With an American College of Rheumatology 50% (ACR50) Response at Week 12 [Baseline and Week 12]

      Participants who met the following 3 conditions for improvement from baseline were classified as meeting the ACR50 response criteria: ≥ 50% improvement in 68-tender joint count; ≥ 50% improvement in 66-swollen joint count; and ≥ 50% improvement in at least 3 of the 5 following parameters: Physician global assessment of disease activity Patient global assessment of disease activity Patient assessment of pain Health Assessment Questionnaire - Disability Index (HAQ-DI) High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP).

    5. Change From Baseline in Short-Form 36 (SF-36) Physical Component Score (PCS) at Week 12 [Baseline and Week 12]

      The Short Form 36-Item Health Survey (SF-36) Version 2 is a self-administered questionnaire that measures the impact of disease on overall quality of life during the past 4 weeks. The SF-36 consists of 36 questions in eight domains (physical function, pain, general and mental health, vitality, social function, physical and emotional health). The physical component score is a weighted combination of the 8 subscales with positive weighting for physical functioning, role-physical, bodily pain, and general health. The PCS was calculated using norm-based scoring so that 50 is the average score and the standard deviation equals 10. Higher scores are associated with better functioning/quality of life; a positive change from baseline score indicates an improvement.

    6. Percentage of Participants Achieving Low Disease Activity (LDA) Based on DAS28(CRP) at Week 12 [Week 12]

      The DAS28(CRP) is a composite index used to assess rheumatoid arthritis disease activity, calculated based on the tender joint count (out of 28 evaluated joints), swollen joint count (out of 28 evaluated joints), Patient's Global Assessment of Disease Activity (0-100 mm), and hsCRP (in mg/L). Scores on the DAS28 range from 0 to approximately 10, where higher scores indicate more disease activity. A DAS28(CRP) score less than or equal to 3.2 indicates low disease activity.

    7. Percentage of Participants Achieving Low Disease Activity Based on CDAI at Week 12 [Week 12]

      Low disease activity based on the clinical disease activity index (CDAI) is defined as a CDAI score ≤ 10. CDAI is a composite index for assessing disease activity based on the summation of the total tender joint count (out of 28 evaluated joints), swollen joint count (out of 28 evaluated joints), patient global assessment of disease activity measured on a VAS from 0 to 10 cm, and physician global assessment of disease activity measured on a VAS from 0 to 10 cm. The total CDAI score ranges from 0 to 78 with higher scores indicating higher disease activity.

    8. Change From Baseline in Duration of Morning Stiffness at Week 12 [Baseline and Week 12]

      Participants were asked to indicate the time it took for them to get as limber as possible after awakening with morning stiffness over the past 7 days. A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement.

    9. Change From Baseline in in Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy - Fatigue (FACIT-F) [Baseline and Week 12]

      The FACIT Fatigue scale is a 13-item tool that measures an individual's level of fatigue during their usual daily activities over the past 7 days. Each of the fatigue and impact of fatigue items are measured on a four point Likert scale. The FACIT Fatigue Scale is the sum of the individual 13 scores and ranges from 0 to 52 where higher scores indicate better the quality of life. A positive change from Baseline indicates improvement.

    10. Change From Baseline in Patient's Assessment of Pain at Week 12 [Baseline and Week 12]

      Participants were asked to indicate the severity of their arthritis pain within the previous week on a visual analog scale (VAS) from 0 to 100. A score of 0 indicates "no pain" and a score of 100 indicates "worst possible pain." A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement.

    11. Percentage of Participants With No Radiographic Progression at Week 26 [Baseline and Week 26]

      No radiographic progression is defined as a change from Baseline in mTSS ≤ 0. The mTSS measures the level of joint damage from radiographs of the hands and feet, which were assessed by 2 independent, blinded readers. mTSS is calculated as the sum of the total joint erosion score and total joint space narrowing (JSN) score and ranges from 0 (normal) to 448 (worst). Joint erosion severity was assessed in 16 joints in each hand and wrist and 6 joints in each foot. Each joint was scored from 0 (no erosion) to 5 for hands/wrists or to 10 for feet (complete collapse). The total erosion score ranges from 0 to 280 (worst). Joint space narrowing (JSN) was assessed in 15 joints of each hand and wrist, and 6 joints of each foot, including subluxation, from 0 (normal) to 4 (complete loss of joint space, bony ankylosis, or luxation). The total JSN score ranges from 0 to 168 (worst).

    12. Percentage of Participants With an American College of Rheumatology 70% (ACR70) Response at Week 12 [Baseline and Week 12]

      Participants who met the following 3 conditions for improvement from baseline were classified as meeting the ACR70 response criteria: ≥ 70% improvement in 68-tender joint count; ≥ 70% improvement in 66-swollen joint count; and ≥ 70% improvement in at least 3 of the 5 following parameters: Physician global assessment of disease activity Patient global assessment of disease activity Patient assessment of pain Health Assessment Questionnaire - Disability Index (HAQ-DI) High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP).

    Study Results

    Participant Flow

    Recruitment Details Participants with moderately to severely active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) on a stable dose of methotrexate with an inadequate response were randomized at 286 study sites in 41 countries. This study is currently ongoing; results are reported as of the data cut-off date of 02 February 2018, when all participants were to have completed Week 26.
    Pre-assignment Detail Participants were randomized in a 2:1:2 ratio to receive placebo, adalimumab, or upadacitinib. Randomization was stratified by prior exposure to biologic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug(s) (bDMARD) (yes/no) and geographic region. Rescue therapy was offered to participants who met protocol-specified criteria at Weeks 14, 18, 22, or 26.
    Arm/Group Title Placebo Adalimumab Upadacitinib
    Arm/Group Description Participants randomized to receive placebo to upadacitinib orally once daily (QD) and placebo to adalimumab by subcutaneous injection once every two weeks (eow) for up to 26 weeks. Participants who did not achieve a ≥ 20% improvement in tender joint count (TJC) and swollen joint count (SJC) at Weeks 14, 18, or 22 compared to Baseline were switched to 15 mg upadacitinib orally QD. At Week 26, all remaining participants were switched to 15 mg upadacitinib QD. Participants randomized to receive placebo to upadacitinib orally QD and 40 mg adalimumab by subcutaneous injection eow for up to 48 weeks in Period 1. Participants who did not achieve a ≥ 20% improvement in TJC and SJC at Weeks 14, 18, or 22 compared to Baseline were switched to 15 mg upadacitinib orally QD. At Week 26 remaining participants who did not achieve low disease activity (defined as Clinical Disease Activity Index [CDAI] ≤ 10) were switched to 15 mg upadacitinib orally QD. Participants randomized to receive 15 mg upadacitinib orally QD and placebo to adalimumab by subcutaneous injection eow for up to 48 weeks in Period 1. Participants who did not achieve a ≥ 20% improvement in TJC and SJC at Weeks 14, 18, or 22 compared to Baseline were switched to 40 mg adalimumab eow. At Week 26 remaining participants who did not achieve low disease activity (defined as CDAI ≤ 10) were switched to 40 mg adalimumab eow.

    Type of Statistical Test Superiority
    Comments In order to preserve Type I error, a step-down approach was used to test the primary and ranked key secondary endpoints in a pre-specified order where statistical significance at the 0.05 level could be claimed for a lower ranked endpoint only if the previous endpoint in the sequence met the requirements of significance.
    Statistical Test of Hypothesis p-Value <0.001
    Comments This comparison was the primary analysis for US/FDA regulatory purposes, and a ranked key secondary endpoint for EU/EMA regulatory purposes.

    2. Primary Outcome
    Title Percentage of Participants Achieving Clinical Remission (CR) Based on DAS28(CRP) at Week 12
    Description The primary endpoint for European Union (EU)/European Medicines Agency (EMA) regulatory purposes was clinical remission, based on a Disease Activity Score 28 (DAS28)-CRP score of < 2.6 at Week 12. The DAS28 is a composite index used to assess rheumatoid arthritis disease activity, calculated based on the tender joint count (out of 28 evaluated joints), swollen joint count (out of 28 evaluated joints), Patient's Global Assessment of Disease Activity (0-100 mm), and hsCRP (in mg/L). Scores on the DAS28 range from 0 to approximately 10, where higher scores indicate more disease activity. A DAS28 score less than 2.6 indicates clinical remission.

    4. Secondary Outcome
    Title Change From Baseline in Modified Total Sharp Score (mTSS) at Week 26
    Description The mTSS measures the level of joint damage from radiographs of the hands and feet, assessed by 2 independent, blinded readers. mTSS is calculated as the sum of the total joint erosion score and total joint space narrowing (JSN) score. Joint erosion severity was assessed in 16 joints in each hand and wrist and 6 joints in each foot. Each joint was scored from 0 (no erosion) to 5 for hands/wrists or to 10 for feet (complete collapse). The total erosion score ranges from 0 to 280 (worst). JSN was assessed in 15 joints of each hand and wrist, and 6 joints of each foot, including subluxation, from 0 (normal) to 4 (complete loss of joint space, bony ankylosis, or luxation). The total JSN score ranges from 0 to 168 (worst). The mTSS is the sum of the joint erosion and JSN scores and ranges from 0 (normal) to 448 (worst). A negative change from Baseline in mTSS indicates improvement in joint damage whereas a change from Baseline greater than 0 indicates progression.

    Description The Short Form 36-Item Health Survey (SF-36) Version 2 is a self-administered questionnaire that measures the impact of disease on overall quality of life during the past 4 weeks. The SF-36 consists of 36 questions in eight domains (physical function, pain, general and mental health, vitality, social function, physical and emotional health). The physical component score is a weighted combination of the 8 subscales with positive weighting for physical functioning, role-physical, bodily pain, and general health. The PCS was calculated using norm-based scoring so that 50 is the average score and the standard deviation equals 10. Higher scores are associated with better functioning/quality of life; a positive change from baseline score indicates an improvement.

    9. Secondary Outcome
    Title Percentage of Participants Achieving Low Disease Activity Based on CDAI at Week 12
    Description Low disease activity based on the clinical disease activity index (CDAI) is defined as a CDAI score ≤ 10. CDAI is a composite index for assessing disease activity based on the summation of the total tender joint count (out of 28 evaluated joints), swollen joint count (out of 28 evaluated joints), patient global assessment of disease activity measured on a VAS from 0 to 10 cm, and physician global assessment of disease activity measured on a VAS from 0 to 10 cm. The total CDAI score ranges from 0 to 78 with higher scores indicating higher disease activity.

    13. Secondary Outcome
    Title Percentage of Participants With No Radiographic Progression at Week 26
    Description No radiographic progression is defined as a change from Baseline in mTSS ≤ 0. The mTSS measures the level of joint damage from radiographs of the hands and feet, which were assessed by 2 independent, blinded readers. mTSS is calculated as the sum of the total joint erosion score and total joint space narrowing (JSN) score and ranges from 0 (normal) to 448 (worst). Joint erosion severity was assessed in 16 joints in each hand and wrist and 6 joints in each foot. Each joint was scored from 0 (no erosion) to 5 for hands/wrists or to 10 for feet (complete collapse). The total erosion score ranges from 0 to 280 (worst). Joint space narrowing (JSN) was assessed in 15 joints of each hand and wrist, and 6 joints of each foot, including subluxation, from 0 (normal) to 4 (complete loss of joint space, bony ankylosis, or luxation). The total JSN score ranges from 0 to 168 (worst).
