Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The study objective of Period 1 (Day 1 to Week 24) is to compare the safety and efficacy of 30 mg once daily (QD) and 15 mg QD upadacitinib versus placebo for the treatment of signs and symptoms of participants with moderately to severely active RA who were on a stable dose of csDMARDs and had an inadequate response to or intolerance to at least 1 bDMARD.

The study objective of Period 2 (Week 24 to Week 260) is to evaluate the long-term safety, tolerability, and efficacy of upadacitinib 15 mg QD and 30 mg QD in participants with RA who completed Period 1.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
Phase 3

Detailed Description

This study includes a 35-day screening period; a 24-week randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, placebo controlled treatment period (Period 1); a 236-week blinded long-term extension period (Period 2); and a 30-day follow-up period (call or visit).

Period 1 consists of a 12-week double-blind, placebo-controlled treatment phase plus a 12-week double-blind phase where all participants were to receive upadacitinib; at Week 12 participants assigned to placebo will be switched to upadacitinib according to their randomization assignment.

Participants who meet eligibility criteria will be randomized in a 2:2:1:1 ratio to one of four treatment groups:

  • Group 1: Upadacitinib 30 mg QD (Day 1 to Week 12) → upadacitinib 30 mg QD (Week 12 and thereafter)

  • Group 2: Upadacitinib 15 mg QD (Day 1 to Week 12) → upadacitinib 15 mg QD (Week 12 and thereafter)

  • Group 3: Placebo (Day 1 to Week 12) → upadacitinib 30 mg QD (Week 12 and thereafter)

  • Group 4: Placebo (Day 1 to Week 12) → upadacitinib 15 mg QD (Week 12 and thereafter)

Participants will continue stable dose of csDMARD therapy for the first 24 weeks of the study.

Participants who complete the Week 24 visit (end of Period 1) will enter the blinded long-term extension portion of the study, Period 2 and continue to receive the same dose of upadacitinib per original randomization assignment in a blinded manner. Starting at Week 24, at least 20% improvement in both swollen joint count (SJC) and tender joint count (TJC) compared to Baseline is required to remain on study drug. Starting at Week 24, initiation of or change in corticosteroids, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), acetaminophen, or adding or increasing doses in up to 2 csDMARDs (concomitant use of up to 2 csDMARDs except the combination of methotrexate and leflunomide) is allowed as per local label.

With the implementation of Protocol Amendment 4, all participants in the extension period will receive open-label upadacitinib 15 mg QD, including those currently on upadacitinib 30 mg QD.

    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 Low Disease Activity (LDA) Based on DAS28(CRP) at Week 12 [Week 12]

      The primary endpoint for European Union (EU)/European Medicines Agency (EMA) regulatory purposes was low disease activity, based on a Disease Activity Score 28 (DAS28)-CRP score of ≤ 3.2 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 or equal to 3.2 indicates low disease activity.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Change From Baseline in in Disease Activity Score 28 (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 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.

    3. 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.

    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. 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).

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

      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).

    Study Results

    Participant Flow

    Recruitment Details Participants were enrolled at 152 sites located in 26 countries from March 2016 to January 2017. Eligible participants had active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and previous inadequate response or intolerance to biologic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (bDMARDs), and were receiving concomitant background conventional synthetic DMARDS (csDMARDs).
    Pre-assignment Detail Participants were randomized in a 1:1:2:2 ratio to one of the 4 treatment groups below. Randomization was stratified by the number of previous bDMARDs used and geographic region. The study is ongoing and data up to Week 24 are reported here.
    Arm/Group Title Placebo / Upadacitinib 15 mg Placebo / Upadacitinib 30 mg Upadacitinib 15 mg Upadacitinib 30 mg
    Arm/Group Description Participants randomized to receive placebo once daily for 12 weeks followed by upadacitinib 15 mg once daily from Week 12 to Week 260.

    2. Primary Outcome
    Title Percentage of Participants Achieving Low Disease Activity (LDA) Based on DAS28(CRP) at Week 12
    Description The primary endpoint for European Union (EU)/European Medicines Agency (EMA) regulatory purposes was low disease activity, based on a Disease Activity Score 28 (DAS28)-CRP score of ≤ 3.2 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 or equal to 3.2 indicates low disease activity.

    3. Secondary Outcome
    Title Change From Baseline in in Disease Activity Score 28 (CRP) at Week 12
    Description 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.

    Title Change From Baseline in Health Assessment Questionnaire Disability Index (HAQ-DI) at Week 12
    Description 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.

    Title Change From Baseline in Short-Form 36 (SF-36) Physical Component Score (PCS) at Week 12
    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.
