Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Phase III Study of Abatacept (BMS-188667) in Patients With Active Rheumatoid Arthritis and Inadequate Response to Methotrexate (NCT NCT00048568)

NCT ID: NCT00048568

Last Updated: 2011-12-05

Results Overview

ACR 20 response requires a patient to have a 20% reduction in the number of swollen and tender joints, and a reduction of 20% in three of the following five parameters: physician global assessment of disease, patient global assessment of disease, patient assessment of pain, C-reactive protein or erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and degree of disability in Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) score. A participant achieved a sustained ACR 20 response if the participant had ACR 20 observed for at least 2 consecutive study visits.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 169

Population: Analyses of efficacy were based on the intent-to-treat population. Due to the non-compliance of a single site, 9 participants in the abatacept group and 5 in the placebo group were not included in this analysis.

ACR 20 response requires a patient to have a 20% reduction in the number of swollen and tender joints, and a reduction of 20% in three of the following five parameters: physician global assessment of disease, patient global assessment of disease, patient assessment of pain, C-reactive protein or erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and degree of disability in Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) score. A participant achieved a sustained ACR 20 response if the participant had ACR 20 observed for at least 2 consecutive study visits.

Timeframe: Day 365

Population: Analyses of efficacy were based on the intent-to-treat population. Due to the non-compliance of a single site, 9 participants in the abatacept group and 5 in the placebo group were not included in this analysis.

The HAQ-DI includes 20 questions to assess physical function in 8 domains: dressing, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip, and common activities. The domain questions are evaluated on a 4-point scale: 0=without any difficulty, 1=with some difficulty, 2=with much difficulty, 3=unable to do. HAQ-DI=sum of worst scores in each domain dividied by the number of domains answered. HAQ-DI ranges from 0 to a maximum overall score of 3.0. Clinically meaningful HAQ response was defined as an improvement of at least 0.3 units from baseline in HAQ DI.

Population: All randomized and treated participants in the DB period with radiographic data available at baseline and Day 365. Due to the compliance issues of a single site, 9 participants in the abatacept group and 5 in the placebo group were not included in this analysis.

To assess joint damage progression, the Genant-modified Sharp scoring method was used to evaluate radiographs of hands/wrists and feet for erosions. The erosion score range is 0 (no radiographic damage) to 145 (worst possible radiographic damage). Change from baseline = Post-baseline - Baseline value

Population: All randomized and treated participants in the DB period with radiographic data available at baseline and Day 365. Due to the non-compliance of a single site, 9 participants in the abatacept group and 5 in the placebo group were not included in this analysis.

To assess joint damage progression, the Genant-modified Sharp scoring method was used to evaluate radiographs of hands/wrists and feet for erosions and joint space narrowing (JSN). The total Genant-modified Sharp score ranges from 0 (no radiographic damage) to 290 (worst possible radiographic damage) and is the sum of the erosion score (range 0-145) and the joint space narrowing score (range 0-145). Higher scores indicated more damage. Change from baseline = Post-baseline - Baseline value.

The HAQ-DI includes 20 questions to assess physical function in 8 domains: dressing, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip, and common activities. The domain questions are evaluated on a 4-point scale: 0=without any difficulty, 1=with some difficulty, 2=with much difficulty, 3=unable to do. HAQ-DI=sum of worst scores in each domain dividied by the number of domains answered. HAQ-DI ranges from 0 to a maximum overall score of 3.0. Clinically meaningful HAQ response was defined as an improvement of at least 0.3 units from baseline in HAQ DI.

Population: This analysis was not completed.

To assess joint damage progression, the Genant-modified Sharp scoring method was used to evaluate radiographs of hands/wrists and feet for erosions and joint space narrowing (JSN). The total Genant-modified Sharp score ranges from 0 (no radiographic damage) to 290 (worst possible radiographic damage) and is the sum of the erosion score (range 0-145) and the joint space narrowing score (range 0-145). Higher scores indicated more damage. Improvement=decreases from BL, stable=same as BL, worsening=increases from BL.

ACR 70 response requires a patient to have a 70% reduction in the number of swollen and tender joints, and a reduction of 70% in three of the following five parameters: physician global assessment of disease, patient global assessment of disease, patient assessment of pain, CRP or ESR, and degree of disability in HAQ score. A participant achieved a sustained ACR 70 response if the participant had ACR 70 observed for at least 2 consecutive study visits.

The DAS 28 is a continuous measure evaluating extent of disease activity in RA, and is a composite of 4 variables: the 28 tender joint count, the 28 swollen joint count, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and participant assessment of disease activity measure on a visual analog scale (VAS) of 100 mm. The scale reports from 1 to 10, with increasing number indicating increasing extent of disease progression. Scores for disease activity are defined as high (\> 5.1); low (≤ 3.2); remission (\< 2.6).

The HAQ-DI includes 20 questions to assess physical function in 8 domains: dressing, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip, and common activities. The domain questions are evaluated on a 4-point scale: 0=without any difficulty, 1=with some difficulty, 2=with much difficulty, 3=unable to do. HAQ-DI=sum of worst scores in each domain dividied by the number of domains answered. HAQ-DI ranges from 0 to a maximum overall score of 3.0. Clinically meaningful HAQ response was defined as an improvement of at least 0.3 units from baseline in HAQ DI.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: BL (Day 0), Day 365, Day 729, Day 1,093, Day 1,457, Day 1,821

Population: All treated participants in the OL period (Treatment groups represent treatment received in the DB period). Due to the non-compliance of a single site, 3 participants were not included in this analysis. N = number of participants analyzed and n = the number of participants with measurements for that time point.

Change from baseline in the Genant-modified Sharp erosion score, JSN, TS were evaluated for all participants at the end of the OL period. The total Genant-modified Sharp score (TS) ranges from 0 (no radiographic damage) to 290 (worst possible radiographic damage) and is the sum of the erosion score (range 0-145) and the joint space narrowing score (range 0-145).Higher scores indicated more damage. Time-matched BL (Day 0) values and post-BL vales were presented for each post-BL visit and represent only that cohort of participants with measurements available at that post-BL assessment.

Population: All treated participants in the OL period (Treatment groups represent treatment received in the DB period). Due to the non-compliance of a single site, 3 participants were not included in this analysis. N = number of participants analyzed and n = the number of participants with measurements for that time point.

The SF-36 covers 8 health dimensions including 4 physical subscales (physical function, role-physical, bodily pain, and general health) and 4 mental subscales (vitality, social function, role-emotional, and mental health). The scores range from a minimum of 0 to a maximum of 100, with a higher score indicating better quality of life. Improvements of \> 3 points were considered clinically meaningful. Time-matched BL (Day 0) values and post-BL vales were presented for each post-BL visit and represent only that cohort of participants with measurements available at that post-BL assessment.

Population: All treated participants in the OL period (Treatment groups represent treatment received in the DB period). Due to the non-compliance of a single site, 3 participants were not included in this analysis. N = number of participants analyzed and n = the number of participants with measurements for that time point.

The SF-36 covers 8 health dimensions including 4 physical subscales (physical function, role-physical, bodily pain, and general health) and 4 mental subscales (vitality, social function, role-emotional, and mental health). The scores range from a minimum of 0 to a maximum of 100, with a higher score indicating better quality of life. Improvements of \> 3 points were considered clinically meaningful. Time-matched BL (Day 0) values and post-BL vales were presented for each post-BL visit and represent only that cohort of participants with measurements available at that post-BL assessment.

Population: All treated participants in the OL period (Treatment groups represent treatment received in the DB period). Due to the non-compliance of a single site, 3 participants were not included in this analysis. N = number of participants analyzed and n = the number of participants with measurements for that time point.

Mean baseline values are reported for each cohort at each time point using the Medical Outcomes Study Sleep scale (MOS-sleep \[assesses the extent of sleep problems and measures six dimensions of sleep on a 12-item participant-reported measure\]). An overall Sleep Problems Index (SPI) was generated as a summary measure of different types of sleep problems (sleep disturbance, sleep quantity, sleep adequacy, etc.). The score ranges from 0 to 100, with 0 = no problems with sleep and 100 = the most severe problems with sleep. The mean score of the SPI in a population with chronic conditions is 29.

Timeframe: BL (Day 0), Day 533

Population: All treated participants in the OL period (Treatment groups represent treatment received in the DB period). Due to the non-compliance of a single site, 3 participants were not included in this analysis. N = number of participants analyzed and n = the number of participants with measurements for that time point.

The HAQ-DI includes 20 questions to assess physical function in 8 domains: dressing, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip, and common activities. The domain questions are evaluated on a 4-point scale: 0=without any difficulty, 1=with some difficulty, 2=with much difficulty, 3=unable to do. HAQ-DI=sum of worst scores in each domain dividied by the number of domains answered. HAQ-DI ranges from 0 to a maximum overall score of 3.0. Clinically meaningful HAQ response was defined as an improvement of at least 0.3 units from baseline in HAQ DI.

Timeframe: BL (Day 0), Day 813

Population: All treated participants in the OL period (Treatment groups represent treatment received in the DB period). Due to the non-compliance of a single site, 3 participants were not included in this analysis. N = number of participants analyzed and n = the number of participants with measurements for that time point.

The HAQ-DI includes 20 questions to assess physical function in 8 domains: dressing, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip, and common activities. The domain questions are evaluated on a 4-point scale: 0=without any difficulty, 1=with some difficulty, 2=with much difficulty, 3=unable to do. HAQ-DI=sum of worst scores in each domain dividied by the number of domains answered. HAQ-DI ranges from 0 to a maximum overall score of 3.0. Clinically meaningful HAQ response was defined as an improvement of at least 0.3 units from baseline in HAQ DI.

Timeframe: BL (Day 0), Day 1,093

Population: All treated participants in the OL period (Treatment groups represent treatment received in the DB period). Due to the non-compliance of a single site, 3 participants were not included in this analysis. N = number of participants analyzed and n = the number of participants with measurements for that time point.

The HAQ-DI includes 20 questions to assess physical function in 8 domains: dressing, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip, and common activities. The domain questions are evaluated on a 4-point scale: 0=without any difficulty, 1=with some difficulty, 2=with much difficulty, 3=unable to do. HAQ-DI=sum of worst scores in each domain dividied by the number of domains answered. HAQ-DI ranges from 0 to a maximum overall score of 3.0. Clinically meaningful HAQ response was defined as an improvement of at least 0.3 units from baseline in HAQ DI.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: BL (Day 0), Day 1,345

Population: All treated participants in the OL period (Treatment groups represent treatment received in the DB period). Due to the non-compliance of a single site, 3 participants were not included in this analysis. N = number of participants analyzed and n = the number of participants with measurements for that time point.

The HAQ-DI includes 20 questions to assess physical function in 8 domains: dressing, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip, and common activities. The domain questions are evaluated on a 4-point scale: 0=without any difficulty, 1=with some difficulty, 2=with much difficulty, 3=unable to do. HAQ-DI=sum of worst scores in each domain dividied by the number of domains answered. HAQ-DI ranges from 0 to a maximum overall score of 3.0. Clinically meaningful HAQ response was defined as an improvement of at least 0.3 units from baseline in HAQ DI.

Timeframe: BL (Day 0), Day 1,821

Population: All treated participants in the OL period (Treatment groups represent treatment received in the DB period). Due to the non-compliance of a single site, 3 participants were not included in this analysis. N = number of participants analyzed and n = the number of participants with measurements for that time point.

The HAQ-DI includes 20 questions to assess physical function in 8 domains: dressing, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip, and common activities. The domain questions are evaluated on a 4-point scale: 0=without any difficulty, 1=with some difficulty, 2=with much difficulty, 3=unable to do. HAQ-DI=sum of worst scores in each domain dividied by the number of domains answered. HAQ-DI ranges from 0 to a maximum overall score of 3.0. Clinically meaningful HAQ response was defined as an improvement of at least 0.3 units from baseline in HAQ DI.
