|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
• To evaluate the long term efficacy of treatment with tofacitinib (5 mg BID and 10 mg BID) in adult subjects with active Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA). |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | Yes |
E.2.3.1 | Full title, date and version of each sub-study and their related objectives |
Methotrexate Withdrawal Sub-Study - 12April2017 Primary Objective: To assess the efficacy of tofacitinib 5 mg BID monotherapy as compared to tofacitinib 5 mg BID with background MTX in subjects who have received prior treatment of tofacitinib in combination with MTX. Secondary Objective: To assess the safety and tolerability of tofacitinib 5 mg BID monotherapy as compared to tofacitinib 5 mg BID with background MTX in subjects who had received prior treatment of tofacitinib in combination with MTX.
Subjects who have completed at least 24 months of participation in the long term extension study A3921092 and are currently receiving methotrexate may be included. Not all countries participating in the LTE will be included in this sub-study.
Subjects will be randomized to the 2 treatment arms in a 1:1 ratio, one in which they will receive open label tofacitinib 5 mg tablets BID and blinded methotrexate capsules (oral dose range from 7.5 mg to 20 mg per week) and the second in which they will receive open label tofacitinib 5 mg tablets BID and blinded MTX placebo capsules. The sub- study will be approximately 12 (standardized 4-week) months in duration and visits will occur at Baseline, Months 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12. The sub-study baseline will occur at the same time as a scheduled study visitat or after Month 24 of A3921092.

E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Subjects must have a diagnosis of PsA and previously completed participation in a qualifying study of tofacitinib for the treatment of PsA or have required earlier discontinuation of treatment in a qualifying study for reasons other than treatment-related adverse events (exception being injection-related AEs) with the written approval of the Pfizer Clinician. 2. Subject must be at least 18 years of age (20 years old for subjects in Taiwan) or older at the Screening visit. 3. Subjects receiving permitted traditional (non-biologic) background DMARDs, eg, methotrexate, sulfasalazine or leflunomide, must be dosed in accordance with the local regulatory label. All local standard of care practices for administration of (non-biologic) background DMARD therapy, including laboratory testing, contraceptive requirements, follow-up care and contraindications, should be performed according to the local standards of care throughout the study (Background DMARDs as per protocol). • Other traditional (non-biologic) DMARDs not listed as a prohibited concomitant medication may be considered after discussion with the Sponsor. 4. Subjects who are already taking oral corticosteroids (but not injectable) may participate in the study: • Oral corticosteroids: Subjects who are already receiving oral corticosteroids must be on a stable dose of ≤10 mg/day of prednisone or equivalent for 4 weeks prior to first dose of study drug. • Injected (eg, intraarticular, intramuscular or intravenous) corticosteroids: Discontinued 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study drug. 5. Subjects who are already taking NSAIDs/COX-2 inhibitors may participate in the study provided that that the dose is stable for one week prior to first dose of study drug.
Inclusion Criteria That Apply to Subjects Who Enroll Into This Study After the 14 Day Window From the End of Study Visit of the Qualifying Study 1. Time from End of Study visit of qualifying study must be ≤3 months. 2. In the opinion of the investigator, the subject must have sufficient evidence of PsA disease activity to warrant use of tofacitinib as a DMARD. 3. Subject has discontinued all disallowed concomitant medications for the required time prior to the first dose of study medication and is taking only those concomitant medications in doses and frequency allowed by the protocol. Subjects who are receiving any investigational or marketed treatment for PsA or psoriasis not mentioned elsewhere must have that treatment discontinued for 4 weeks or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer. Discontinuation criteria for biologics not otherwise mentioned must be discussed with the Pfizer Study Clinician. 4. Screening 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) that does not demonstrate clinically relevant abnormailities which may affect subject safety. 5. No evidence of active or latent or inadequately treated infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB) as defined by all of the following: • A negative QuantiFERON-Gold® • In-Tube test performed within the 3 months prior to screening. A negative PPD test can be substituted for the QuantiFERON Gold (QFT-G) In-Tube test only if the central laboratory is unable to perform the test or cannot determine the results to be positive or negative and the Pfizer Study Clinician approves it, on a case by case basis. Subjects with a history of Bacille Calmette Guérin (BCG) vaccination will be tested with the QFT-G test. • No local QFT-G testing will be accepted for meeting the inclusion criterion. • A chest radiograph taken within the 3 months prior to screening and reviewed by a radiologist or pulmonologist as per local standard of care and documented to be without changes suggestive of active TB infection. • No history of either untreated or inadequately treated latent or active TB infection. • If a subject has previously received an adequate course of therapy for either latent (9 months of isoniazid in a locale where rates of primary multi-drug resistant TB infection are <5% or an acceptable alternative regimen) or active (acceptable multi-drug regimen) TB infection, neither a PPD test nor a QuantiFERON-Gold® • In-Tube test need be obtained but a chest radiograph must still be obtained if not done so within the prior 3 months. A subject who is currently being treated for either latent or active TB infection can only be enrolled with confirmation of current incidence rates of multi-drug resistant TB infection, documentation of an adequate treatment regimen, and prior approval of the Sponsor. Please see the Protocol for the full list of the inclusion criteria. |
