E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
Determine whether baricitinib 4 mg QD is superior to placebo in the treatment of patients with moderately to severely active RA who have had inadequate response to or are intolerant to at least 1 cDMARD (cDMARD-IR [inadequate response] patients) and who have not received a biologic DMARD, as assessed by the proportion of patients achieving ACR20 at Week 12. |
O objetivo principal é determinar se baricitinib 4 mg 1x/dia é superior ao placebo no tratamento de doentes com AR activa, moderada a grave, que tiveram uma resposta inadequada ou são intolerantes a pelo menos um MARMDc (doentes MARMD-RI [resposta inadequada]) e que não tenham recebido um MARMD biológico, conforme avaliado pela quantidade de doentes que atingem uma melhoria de 20% nos critérios do American College of Rheumatology (ACR20) à Semana 12. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
- change from baseline to Week 12 in Health Assessment Questionnaire-Disability Index (HAQ-DI) score
- change from baseline to Week 12 in DAS28-high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP)
- proportion of patients achieving ACR20 at Week 12 (baricitinib 2mg compared to placebo) |
Avaliar a eficácia de baricitinib 4 mg 1x/dia versus placebo, conforme avaliado por:
•alteração, desde o momento basal até à Semana 12, na pontuação do Health Assessment Questionnaire-Disability Index (HAQ-DI, índice de incapacidade do questionário de avaliação da saúde)
•alteração, desde o momento basal até à Semana 12, na Disease Activity Score 28 (DAS28, pontuação de actividade da doença) - proteína C reactiva determinada por métodos de alta sensibilidade (PCRas)
•alteração, desde o momento basal até à Semana 12, na duração da rigidez articular matinal, conforme registada nos diários electrónicos
•alteração, desde o momento basal até à Semana 12, na intensidade da rigidez articular matinal, conforme registada nos diários electrónicos

E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
-are at least 18 years of age
-have a diagnosis of adult-onset RA as defined by the ACR/EULAR 2010 Criteria for the Classification of RA
-have moderately to severely active RA defined as the presence of at least 6/68 tender joints and at least 6/66 swollen joints
-have a C-reactive protein (or hsCRP) measurement
-1.2 times the upper limit of normal (ULN)
-have had an insufficient response or are intolerant to cDMARDs and either:
- have had regular use of a cDMARD for at least the 12 weeks prior to study entry with a continuous, nonchanging dose for at least 8 weeks prior to study entry
-For patients not receiving a cDMARD at the time of entry, the investigator will document in the patients history that the patient had failed, was unable to tolerate, or had a contraindication to treatment with a cDMARD. |
doentes do sexo masculino ou feminino, com pelo menos 18 anos, com AR com início na idade adulta, segundo os critérios ACR/EULAR 2010 para a classificação da AR. Os doentes têm de ter AR activa, definida pela presença de pelo menos 6/68 articulações com dor à palpação e 6/66 articulações com edema e apresentar uma medição de PCRas ≥ 1,2 vezes o limite superior do normal (LSN). Além disso, os doentes têm de ter apresentado uma resposta insuficiente ou serem intolerantes a MARMDc e não terem sido anteriormente tratados com um MARMD biológico. |
