General information about the trial
|
|||
Main objective of the trial |
To demonstrate that sarilumab monotherapy is superior to adalimumab monotherapy with respect to signs and symptoms as assessed by disease activity score 28 (DAS28)-erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) in subjects with active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who are either intolerant of or considered inappropriate candidates for continued treatment with methotrexate (MTX), or after at least 12 weeks of continuous treatment with MTX, are determined to be inadequate responders.
|
||
Protection of trial subjects |
Subjects were fully informed of all pertinent aspects of the clinical trial as well as the possibility to discontinue at any time in language and terms appropriate for the subject and considering the local culture. During the course of the trial, subjects were provided with individual subject cards indicating the nature of the trial the subject is participating, contact details and any information needed in the event of a medical emergency. Collected personal data and human biological samples were processed in compliance with the Sanofi-Aventis Group Personal Data Protection Charter ensuring that the Group abides by the laws governing personal data protection in force in all countries in which it operates.

Recruitment
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Recruitment details |
The study was conducted at 86 centres in 15 countries. A total of 540 subjects were involved in the study from 28 January 2015 to 29-December-2020, of whom 369 subjects were randomised and 171 were screen failures. Screen failures were mainly due to exclusion criteria met and inclusion criteria not met. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Pre-assignment
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Screening details |
Subjects were randomised in 1:1 ratio (Adalimumab 40 milligrams [mg] every 2 weeks [q2w]: Sarilumab 200 mg q2w) and treated for 24 weeks in double-blind (DB) period of the study. Out of 321 subjects who completed DB period, 320 subjects entered the open label extension (OLE) period of the study. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

DB Period: Change From Baseline in Disease Activity Score for 28 Joints - Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (DAS28-ESR) Score at Week 24 | ||||||||||||
End point description |
DAS28-ESR is a composite score that includes 4 variables: TJC (based on 28 joints); SJC (based on 28 joints); GH assessment by the subject assessed from the ACR and RA core set questionnaire (subject global assessment) in 100 mm VAS; marker of inflammation assessed by ESR in mm/hr. The DAS28-ESR score provides a number indicating the current disease activity of the RA. DAS28-ESR total score ranges from 2-10. A DAS28-ESR score above 5.1 means high disease activity, DAS28-ESR score below 3.2 indicates low disease activity and DAS28-ESR score below 2.6 means disease remission. Least square (LS) mean and standard error (SE) at Week 24 were obtained using Mixed-effect model with repeated measures (MMRM) approach. Intent-to-treat (ITT) population included all subjects. Here, number of subjects analysed = subjects with DAS28-ESR assessment at both baseline and Week 24.

Statistical analysis description |
Analysis was performed using MMRM approach with treatment, region, visits, and treatment-by-visit interaction as fixed effects and baseline DAS28-ESR score as a continuous covariate. Hierarchical testing procedure was used to control overall alpha error rate at 0.05 level and handle multiple endpoint analyses. Testing was then performed sequentially in order endpoints are reported. Hierarchical testing sequence continued only when previous endpoint was statistically significant at 0.05 level.

DB Period: Change From Baseline in Individual ACR Component - CRP Level at Week 24 | ||||||||||||
End point description |
ACR components were: TJC, SJC, physician global VAS, subject global VAS, pain VAS, HAQ-DI and acute phase reactant (hs-CRP and ESR levels). An elevated CRP level is considered a non-specific "marker" for RA. A decrease indicates improvement. LS mean and SE at Week 24 were obtained using MMRM approach. ITT population. Here, number of subjects analysed = subjects with CRP assessment both at baseline and Week 24.

End point description |
ACR components were: TJC, SJC, physician global VAS, subject global VAS, pain VAS, HAQ-DI & acute phase reactant (hs-CRP and ESR levels). The ESR is a blood test that can reveal inflammatory activity. Inflammation can cause the cells to clump together. The farther the red blood cells have descended, the greater the inflammatory response. LS mean and SE at Week 24 were obtained using MMRM approach. ITT population. Here, number of subjects analysed = subjects with ESR assessment both at baseline and Week 24.

End point description |
Adverse event (AE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in subject who received investigational medicinal product (IMP) and did not necessarily had to have causal relationship with treatment. All reported AEs were TEAEs developed/worsened during 'on treatment period' (time from first dose of study drug up to day before first dose of open-label treatment for subjects who completed 24-week randomised//DB treatment). SAEs were AEs resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalisation; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly or a medically important event. DB period safety population which consisted of all randomised subjects who received at least one dose of study medication analysed according to the treatment they have actually received.
