Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of this clinical research study is to determine whether abatacept treatment on a background of Disease Modifying Antirheumatic Drugs (DMARDs) will relieve the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in participants who are currently receiving anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) therapy for at least 3 months and are not responding or have taken anti-TNF therapy in the last 3 months and did not respond. The safety of treatment with abatacept will also be evaluated. This study also has a 4.5-year long-term extension beginning 6 months after the start of the study.

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Double-blind Period (DB); Number of Participants With American College of Rheumatology (ACR) 20 Response at Day 169 [Day 169]

      ACR 20 response requires a participant to have a 20% reduction in the number of swollen and tender joints, and a reduction of 20% in three of the following five parameters: physician global assessment of disease, participant global assessment of disease, participant assessment of pain, C-reactive protein or erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and degree of disability in Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) score. A participant achieved a sustained ACR 20 response if the participant had ACR 20 observed for at least 2 consecutive study visits.

    2. DB; Number of Participants Achieving Clinically Meaningful Improvement in Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) [Day 169]

      The disability section of the full HAQ includes 20 questions to assess physical functions in 8 domains: dressing, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip and common activities. The questions are evaluated on a 4-point scale: 0=without any difficulty, 1= with some difficulty, 2= with much difficulty, and 3= unable to do. Higher scores= greater dysfunction. A disability index was calculated by summing the worst scores in each domain and dividing by the number of domains answered. Clinically meaningful HAQ response=an improvement of at least 0.3 units from baseline in HAQ disability Index.

    Participant Flow

    Recruitment Details
    Pre-assignment Detail 738 participants were enrolled and 393 participants were randomized. Two participants were randomized in error and were not treated.
    Arm/Group Title Abatacept (ABA) Placebo (PLA) Open-label ABA
    Arm/Group Description Participants with active RA who met the inclusion/exclusion criteria for this study were randomized to receive abatacept on a background of DMARDs. Participants must have been treated with anti-TNF therapy for at least 3 months and designated as anti-TNF therapy failures due to inadequate efficacy. Participants weighing < 60 kg received 500 mg, participants weighing 60 kg to 100 kg received 750 mg, and participants weighing > 100 kg received 1 gram. Study medication was administered on Days 1, 15, 29 and every 28 days thereafter for a total of 7 doses. Each dose was infused intravenously over approximately 30 minutes. Participants with active RA who met the inclusion/exclusion criteria for this study were randomized to receive placebo on a background of DMARDs. Participants must have been treated with anti-TNF therapy for at least 3 months and designated as anti-TNF therapy failures due to inadequate efficacy. Placebo was administered IV on Days 1, 15, 29, 57, 85, 113, and 141. All participants who completed the double-blind period were eligible to continue in the open-label period. At the beginning of the open-label period (Day 169), all eligible participants were re-allocated to a 10 mg/kg weight-tiered dose of abatacept at their enrollment visit into the open-label period, based on their entry weight into the study. Participant dose was adjusted based on annual anniversary weight. Participants weighing > 100 kg received 1 g, participants weighing ≥ 60 kg and ≤ 100 kg received 750 mg, and participants weighing < 60 kg received 500 mg on a background of DMARDs (at discretion of the investigator). Concomitant biologic RA therapies were later excluded.

    Outcome Measures

    1. Primary Outcome
    Title Double-blind Period (DB); Number of Participants With American College of Rheumatology (ACR) 20 Response at Day 169
    Description ACR 20 response requires a participant to have a 20% reduction in the number of swollen and tender joints, and a reduction of 20% in three of the following five parameters: physician global assessment of disease, participant global assessment of disease, participant assessment of pain, C-reactive protein or erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and degree of disability in Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) score. A participant achieved a sustained ACR 20 response if the participant had ACR 20 observed for at least 2 consecutive study visits.
    Time Frame Day 169

    Outcome Measure Data

    Analysis Population Description
    Analysis was carried out on the intent-to-treat (ITT) population defined as all randomized participants who received at least one dose of study medication. Two participants were unevaluable for response due to each missing 2 infusions of study drug.

    Statistical Analysis 1
    Statistical Analysis Overview Comparison Group Selection Abatacept (ABA), Placebo (PLA)
    Comments The first coprimary endpoint efficacy analysis tested for differences in ACR 20 response rate (RR) between the treatment arm receiving ABA plus background DMARDs and the treatment arm receiving placebo plus background DMARDs on Day 169. A 2-sided Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel (CMH) Chi-square test was used to compare these two treatment groups at the .05 level of significance, with stratification based on baseline history of anti-TNF status (current or prior use).
    Type of Statistical Test Superiority or Other
    Comments
    Statistical Test of Hypothesis p-Value <0.001
    Comments The a priori threshold for statistical significance was 5%. ACR 20 RR at 6 mos for PLA was expected to be ~25%. A sample of 256 in the ABA arm and 128 in PLA arm will yield a 96% power to detect a difference of 20% in ACR 20 at 5% significance level.

    2. Primary Outcome
    Title DB; Number of Participants Achieving Clinically Meaningful Improvement in Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ)
    Description The disability section of the full HAQ includes 20 questions to assess physical functions in 8 domains: dressing, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip and common activities. The questions are evaluated on a 4-point scale: 0=without any difficulty, 1= with some difficulty, 2= with much difficulty, and 3= unable to do. Higher scores= greater dysfunction. A disability index was calculated by summing the worst scores in each domain and dividing by the number of domains answered. Clinically meaningful HAQ response=an improvement of at least 0.3 units from baseline in HAQ disability Index.

    Title DB; Mean Time-Matched Percentage of Change From Baseline in SJC Over Time: ACR Core Component
    Description The mean SJC core component of the ACR scoring system was evaluated based on the number of swollen joints in a standard 66 joint count, where an increasing number of swollen joints indicate increasing level of severity. Mean Time-matched percentage of change from baseline = (time-matched baseline value - Post-baseline value)/time-matched baseline value x 100, where the time-matched baseline value represents the mean baseline value for only that cohort of participants with TJCs available at that visit.

    Description HAQ-DI is a self-administered questionnaire composed of 20 questions assessing physical function in 8 domains: dressing, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip and common activities. Questions are evaluated on a 4-point scale: 0=without any difficulty, 1=with some difficulty, 2=with much difficulty, and 3=unable to do. The HAQ-DI is the weighted sum of the scale scores, with higher scores indicating poorer function. For each post-BL visit, time-matched BL HAQ-DI values were presented and represent the mean BL value for only that cohort of participants with data available at that visit.

    Title DB; Adjusted Mean Change From Baseline to Day 169 in SF-36 PCS, MCS, and SF-36 Individual Component Scores For Participants With Measurements at Day 169
    Description SF-36 measures health-related quality of life across multiple disease states. It has 36 questions with 8 subscale scores and 2 summary scores: PCS=physical functioning, role-physical, bodily pain, and general health; MCS=vitality, social functioning, role-emotional, and mental health. Scoring is done for both subscores and summary scores. For both, 0=worst score (or quality of life) and 100=best score. Change from Baseline= Post-baseline value - time-matched baseline value, where time-matched BL value = the mean BL value for only that cohort of participants with data available at Day 169.
    Time Frame BL, Day 169

    Analysis was carried out on the intent-to-treat (ITT) population defined as all randomized subjects who received at least one dose of study medication. Two participants were unevaluable for response due to each missing 2 infusions of study drug. N=Number of Participants Analyzed, n=number of participants at visit
    Arm/Group Title Abatacept (ABA) Placebo (PLA)
    Arm/Group Description Participants with active RA who met the inclusion/exclusion criteria for this study were randomized to receive abatacept on a background of DMARDs. Participants must have been treated with anti-TNF therapy for at least 3 months and designated as anti-TNF therapy failures due to inadequate efficacy. Participants weighing < 60 kg received 500 mg, participants weighing 60 kg to 100 kg received 750 mg, and participants weighing > 100 kg received 1 gram. Study medication was administered on Days 1, 15, 29 and every 28 days thereafter for a total of 7 doses. Each dose was infused intravenously over approximately 30 minutes. Participants with active RA who met the inclusion/exclusion criteria for this study were randomized to receive placebo on a background of DMARDs. Participants must have been treated with anti-TNF therapy for at least 3 months and designated as anti-TNF therapy failures due to inadequate efficacy. Placebo was administered IV on Days 1, 15, 29, 57, 85, 113, and 141.

    Title DB; Mean Baseline HAQ-DI and HAQ Component Scores in Participants With Assessments at Day 169
    Description The HAQ DI is a self-administered questionnaire composed of 20 questions to assess physical functions in 8 domains: dressing, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip and common activities. Questions are evaluated on a 4-point scale: 0 = without any difficulty, 1 = with some difficulty, 2 = with much difficulty, and 3 = unable to do. HAQ-DI is a weighted sum of the scale scores, with a higher score indicating poorer function. The mean baseline value presented represents a time-matched Day 169 baseline value for only that cohort of participants with assessments available at that visit.

    Title DB; Mean Disease Activity Score (DAS)28 (C-Reactive Protein [CRP]) and Mean Disease Activity Score (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate [ESR]) at Day 169
    Description The DAS28 is a continuous disease measure which is a composite of 4 variables: the 28 tender joint count, the 28 swollen joint count, ESR or CRP levels, and participant assessment of disease activity measure on a visual analogue scale. The DAS28 has numeric thresholds that define high disease activity (> 5.1), low disease activity (< 3.2) and remission (< 2.6). A clinically significant response= decrease in DAS28 score of >1.2 from baseline. The mean BL value presented represents a time-matched Day 169 BL value for only that cohort of participants with assessments available at that visit.

    Arm/Group Title Open-label ABA
    Arm/Group Description All participants who completed the double-blind period were eligible to continue in the open-label period. At the beginning of the open-label period (Day 169), all eligible participants were re-allocated to a 10 mg/kg weight-tiered dose of abatacept at their enrollment visit into the open-label period, based on their entry weight into the study. Participant dose was adjusted based on annual anniversary weight. Participants weighing > 100 kg received 1 g, participants weighing ≥ 60 kg and ≤ 100 kg received 750 mg, and participants weighing < 60 kg received 500 mg on a background of DMARDs (at discretion of the investigator). Concomitant biologic RA therapies were later excluded.

    Title OL; Mean Time-matched Change From Baseline in DAS28 (ESR) Over Time For Participants Treated in the OL
    Description DAS28 is a continuous disease measure which is a composite of 4 variables: the 28 tender joint count, the 28 swollen joint count, ESR or CRP, and participant assessment of disease activity measure on a visual analogue scale. The DAS28 has numeric thresholds that define high disease activity (> 5.1), low disease activity (< 3.2) and remission (< 2.6). Time-matched mean change from baseline = Post-baseline value - time-matched baseline value, where the time-matched baseline value represents the mean baseline value for only that cohort of participants with data available at that visit.

    Title OL; Number of Participants Achieving HAQ Response Over Time In Participants Treated in the OL
    Description The HAQ disability index (HAQ DI) is a self-administered questionnaire composed of 20 questions to assess physical functions in 8 domains: dressing, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip and common activities. The questions are evaluated on a 4-point scale: 0 = without any difficulty, 1 = with some difficulty, 2 = with much difficulty, and 3 = unable to do. The HAQ disease index is a weighted sum of the scale scores, with a higher score indicating poorer function. Clinically meaningful HAQ response was defined as an improvement of at least 0.3 units from baseline in HAQ DI.

    50. Secondary Outcome
    Title OL; Mean Time-matched Change From Baseline in HAQ-DI and HAQ Component Scores For Participants Treated in the OL
    Description HAQ-DI is a self-administered questionnaire composed of 20 questions to assess physical functions in 8 domains:dressing, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip and common activities. Questions evaluated on a 4-point scale: 0 = without any difficulty, 1 = with some difficulty, 2 = with much difficulty, and 3 = unable to do. HAQ-DI=weighted sum of the scale scores. Higher score indicates poorer function.Change from BL = Post-BL value - time-matched BL value, where the time-matched BL value represents the mean BL value for only that cohort of participants with data available at that visit
    Time Frame BL, Days 169, 253, 365, 449, 533, 617, 729, 813, 897, 981, 1093, 1261, 1457, 1625, and 1821

    Outcome Measure Data

    Analysis Population Description
    Intent-to-treat (ITT) population: all randomized subjects receiving at least 1 dose of study drug. 2 participants were unevaluable for response due to each missing 2 infusions of study drug. N=total number of participants analyzed, n=the number of participants at time point with data. Mean time-matched BL values reflect changing n-values over time.
    Arm/Group Title OL: ABA OL: PLA
    Arm/Group Description Participants with active RA who met the inclusion/exclusion criteria for this study were randomized to receive abatacept on a background of DMARDs. Participants must have been treated with anti-TNF therapy for at least 3 months and designated as anti-TNF therapy failures due to inadequate efficacy. Participants weighing < 60 kg received 500 mg, participants weighing 60 kg to 100 kg received 750 mg, and participants weighing > 100 kg received 1 gram. Study medication was administered on Days 1, 15, 29 and every 28 days thereafter for a total of 7 doses. Each dose was infused intravenously over approximately 30 minutes. Participants treated in the OL who were randomized to receive placebo on a background of DMARDs in the DB. Placebo was administered IV on Days 1, 15, 29, 57, 85, 113, and 141.

    Title OL; Mean Time-matched Baseline Levels of Rheumatoid Factor (RF) Over Time For Participants Treated in the OL
    Description RF is an autoantibody most relevant in rheumatoid arthritis. It is an antibody against the Fc portion of Immunoglobulin (Ig)G, which is itself an antibody. RF and IgG join to form immune complexes which contribute to the disease process. Time-matched baseline levels of RF were presented by visit and represented the mean baseline value for only that cohort of participants with data available at that visit.

    Title OL; Mean Time-matched Change From Baseline in ESR Over Time For Participants Treated in the OL
    Description ESR, also called a sedimentation rate or Biernacki Reaction, is the rate at which red blood cells sediment in a period of 1 hour. It is a common hematology test that is a non-specific measure of inflammation. Change from BL = Post-BL value - time-matched BL value, where the time-matched BL value represents the mean BL value for only that cohort of participants with data available at that visit.

    Title OL; Mean Time-matched Change From Baseline in Role-Physical Score Over Time For Participants Treated in the OL
    Description SF-36 measures health-related quality of life across multiple disease states. It has 36 questions with 8 subscale scores and 2 summary scores: PCS=physical functioning, role-physical, bodily pain, and general health; MCS=vitality, social functioning, role-emotional, and mental health. Scoring is done for both subscores and summary scores. For both, 0=worst score (or quality of life) and 100=best score. Change from BL = Post-BL value - time-matched BL value, where the time-matched BL value represents the mean BL value for only that cohort of participants with data available at that visit.

    Title OL; Mean Time-matched Baseline Role-Emotional Score Over Time For Participants Treated in the OL
    Description SF-36 measures health-related quality of life across multiple disease states. It has 36 questions with 8 subscale scores and 2 summary scores:PCS=physical functioning, role-physical, bodily pain, and general health; MCS=vitality, social functioning, role-emotional, and mental health. Scoring is done for both subscores and summary scores. For subscores and summary scores, 0 =worst score (or quality of life) and 100=best score. Time-matched baseline values were presented by visit and represented the mean baseline value for only that cohort of participants with data available at that visit.

    Title OL; Mean Change From Baseline in Activity Limitation Score Over Time For Participants Treated in the OL
    Description Limitations on activities of daily living in the OL period at each study visit was measured by a 2-item questionnaire that was developed to collect data on the amount of time that a participant is unable to perform their usual activities because of their rheumatoid arthritis. The scale ranges from 0 to 100 with increasing score indicating increasing restrictions on levels of activity.

    Arm/Group Title All Treated Participants
    Arm/Group Description Participants with active RA who met the inclusion/exclusion criteria for this study were randomized to receive either abatacept or placebo on a background of DMARDs. Participants must have been treated with anti-TNF therapy for at least 3 months and designated as anti-TNF therapy failures due to inadequate efficacy. Participants weighing < 60 kg received 500 mg, participants weighing 60 kg to 100 kg received 750 mg, and participants weighing > 100 kg received 1 gram of abatacept. Abatacept or placebo was administered on Days 1, 15, 29 and every 28 days thereafter for a total of 7 doses. Each dose was infused intravenously over approximately 30 minutes.

    Arm/Group Description All participants who completed the double-blind period were eligible to continue in the open-label period. At the beginning of the open-label period (Day 169), all eligible participants were re-allocated to a 10 mg/kg weight-tiered dose of abatacept at their enrollment visit into the open-label period. Participants weighing > 100 kg received 1 g, participants weighing ≥ 60 kg and ≤ 100 kg received 750 mg, and participants weighing < 60 kg received 500 mg on a background of DMARDs (at discretion of the investigator). Concomitant biologic RA therapies were later excluded. Participants with active RA who met the inclusion/exclusion criteria for this study were randomized to receive abatacept on a background of DMARDs. Participants must have been treated with anti-TNF therapy for at least 3 months and designated as anti-TNF therapy failures due to inadequate efficacy. Participants weighing < 60 kg received 500 mg, participants weighing 60 kg to 100 kg received 750 mg, and participants weighing > 100 kg received 1 gram. Study medication was administered on Days 1, 15, 29 and every 28 days thereafter for a total of 7 doses. Each dose was infused intravenously over approximately 30 minutes. Participants with active RA who met the inclusion/exclusion criteria for this study were randomized to receive placebo on a background of DMARDs. Participants must have been treated with anti-TNF therapy for at least 3 months and designated as anti-TNF therapy failures due to inadequate efficacy.
