Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of three different Tregalizumab doses in combination with Methotrexate (MTX) in subjects who have active rheumatoid arthritis and an inadequate response to MTX alone.

The overall study duration is 24 weeks followed by a 24 week extension phase.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
Phase 2

Detailed Description

The planned clinical study 986 (TREAT 2b) is a 24-week study in patients with Active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who have had an inadequate response to Methotrexate (MTX) alone. The main phase of this study is followed by a 24-week extension phase for subjects meeting the respective entry criteria. Patients will be randomized to one of three different Active treatment groups or Placebo. The primary efficacy variable is the proportion of subjects with an ACR20 response after 12 weeks of double blinded treatment with the study medication based on observed cases in the FAS.

At Week 12, all subjects who had a minimum improvement of at least 20% (from baseline) in their tender joint count (TJC) and swollen joint count (SJC) continued on the same treatment. Subjects who had not demonstrated an improvement of at least 20% of TJC and SJC were assessed as non-responders. Non-responders who received placebo were randomized to an active treatment dose in a blinded manner. Non-responders who received active treatment were rolled up to the next highest dose in a blinded manner, apart from those already on the highest dose. These subjects remained on the highest dose.

    2. Subject receives oral or parenteral MTX treatment for ≥12 weeks (overall), with an unchanged mode of application and stable MTX dose of ≥15 mg per week (or ≥12.5 mg per week in case of MTX intolerance), but no more than the highest locally approved dose for RA, for ≥8 weeks prior to baseline.

Previous treatment with an anti-TNF agent is allowed only, if all of the following criteria apply: - treatment was stopped for reasons other than lack of efficacy or adverse events (AEs) - treatment was stopped at least 12 weeks or five half-lives of the compound prior to baseline (whichever is longer), and - the treatment period did not exceed 6 weeks.

    2. Subject received treatment with conventional disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) apart from MTX in the 12 weeks prior to baseline, and for DMARD leflunomide in the 24 weeks prior to baseline (except where specific leflunomide wash-out procedures were completed, following applicable guidelines).

    3. Subject has been treated with intra-articular or parenteral administration of corticosteroids in the 4 weeks prior to baseline. Inhaled corticosteroids for stable medical conditions are allowed.

    Adverse Events

    Time Frame through study completion, up to 1 year
    Adverse Event Reporting Description All adverse events have been matched in accordance with the dosing under which they occurred. This resulted in a higher number of subjects at risk, because some subjects received two dosages. Patients who responded at week 12 continued the same treatment for 12 weeks and non-responders at week 12 were escalated to the next higher dose level or re-randomized to active treatment (placebo patients). After 24 weeks, placebo patients were switched to active treatment during the Extension Phase.
