E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The primary objective is to estimate the treatment effect of ABT-122 by measuring the percentage of subjects achieving American College of Rheumatology response rates (ACR20) at Week 12 and to assess the safety and tolerability of ABT-122 in subjects with active rheumatoid arthritis (RA). |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
● Change from Baseline in DAS28 [hsCRP] at Weeks 2, 4, 6, 8, and 12.
● Proportion of subjects achieving ACR50 and ACR70 responder status at Week 12.
● Proportion of subjects achieving Low Disease Activity (LDA) or Clinical Remission (CR) based on DAS28 [hsCRP] and CDAI criteria at Week 12.
● Proportion of subjects achieving CR based on DAS28 [hsCRP] and CDAI criteria at Week 12. |
|
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 |
|
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Adult male or female, 18 years of age or older.
2. Diagnosis of RA based on the 2010 American College of Rheumatology (ACR)/European League against Rheumatism (EULAR) criteria (as defined in the definition of terms).
3. RA diagnosis at least 3 months from the date of first Screening.
4. Have active RA defined by minimum disease activity criteria:
•≥ 6 Swollen joints (based on 66 joint counts) at Screening and baseline visits,
•≥ 6 Tender joints (based on 68 joint counts) at Screening and baseline visits,
•hsCRP > Upper limit of normal (ULN) OR positive for both Rheumatoid Factor (RF) and Anti Cyclic Citrullinated Peptide (Anti-CCP) Antibody levels at Screening
5. Inadequate response to MTX treatment defined as oral or parenteral treatment ≥ 3 months with an unchanged mode of application and stable prescribed MTX dose for at least 4 weeks prior to baseline of ≥ 10 mg/week and < the upper limit of the applicable approved local label. Subject can also be on stable doses of sulfasalazine and/or hydroxychloroquine, so long as they are also on methotrexate. |
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. Subject has previous exposure to Humira, other TNF inhibitors or other biological DMARDs.
2. Current treatment with traditional oral DMARDs (except for concomitant treatment with sulfasalazine and/or hydroxychloroquine in addition to MTX). Oral DMARDs must be washed out 5 times the mean terminal elimination half-life of a drug apart from MTX prior to Day 1.
• Subject could have been exposed to prior JAK inhibitors so long as they have been off therapy for 5 half-lives.
3. Stable prescribed dose of oral prednisone or prednisone equivalent > 10 mg/day within the 30 days of first dose of study drug.
4. Intra-articular or parenteral administration of corticosteroids in the preceding 4 weeks of first dose of study drug. Inhaled corticosteroids for stable medical conditions are allowed.
5. Laboratory values of the following at the Screening Visit:
• Confirmed hemoglobin < 9 g/dL for males and < 8.5 g/dL for females,
• Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) < 1500 /mm3,
• AST or ALT > 1.5 × the upper limit of normal (ULN) or bilirubin ≥ 3 mg/dL,
• Serum creatinine > 1.5 × the ULN,
• Platelets < 100,000 cells/[mm3] (109/L),
• Clinically significant abnormal screening laboratory results as evaluated by the Investigator. |

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
ACR20 response rate at Week 12. ACR20 response rate will be determined based on 20% or greater improvement in Tender Joint Count (TJC) and Swollen Joint Count (SJC) and ≥ 3 of the 5 measures of Patient's Assessment of Pain (VAS), Patient's Global Assessment of Disease Activity, Physician's Global Assessment of Disease Activity, Health Assessment Questionnaire Disability Index (HAQ-DI) and hsCRP. |
