E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The primary objectives of this study are:
1. To evaluate the safety and tolerability of maraviroc at 150 and 300 mg BID administered for 4 weeks to subjects in combination with Methotrexate(MTX);
2. To characterize the PK and to investigate potential drug-drug interactions (DDIs) between maraviroc and MTX in a cohort of subjects (n = 16);
3. To assess the efficacy of maraviroc (either 150 or 300 mg versus placebo; both administered BID for 12 weeks) in subjects with RA receiving MTX. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
To evaluate the effect of maraviroc treatment on patient reported outcomes and disease activity status. |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
Subjects must meet all of the following inclusion criteria to be eligible for enrollment into the trial:
1. Must be legal age of consent;
2. Must have active RA based upon the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) 1987 (Revised Criteria) and a current level of disease activity defined as: • ≥6 tender/painful joints on motion (28 joint count) – Waived for entry into the Safety/PK Component • ≥6 swollen joints (28 joint count) – Waived for entry into the Safety/PK Component • CRP ≥0.8 mg/dL (8 mg/L) or an erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) of at least 28 mm/hour – Waived for entry into the Safety/PK Component.
3. Must meet ACR 1991 Revised Criteria for Global Functional Status in RA, Class I, II, or III ;
4. Must be receiving MTX treatment that satisfies all of the following: • ≥10 mg/week and ≤25 mg/week (oral or parenteral) unless documented intolerance requires a lower dose; • ≥12 weeks duration of prior therapy; • MTX dose has been stable ≥4 weeks prior to entry and will remain unchanged throughout the 12-week Treatment Period.
5. Must provide written informed consent and be willing and able to comply with scheduled visits, treatment plan, laboratory tests, and other trial procedures.

E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
Subjects presenting with any of the following will not be included in the trial:
1. Subjects with a diagnosis of: • any other inflammatory arthritis (eg, spondyloarthropathies); or • a secondary, non-inflammatory arthritis (eg, osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia) that may interfere with disease activity assessments.
2.
