Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this clinical research study is to learn if abatacept is safe when co-administered with other approved rheumatoid arthritis medications.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This was a multinational, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, 2-arm, parallel-dosing designed study. The treatment period was 12 months. Eligible participants were randomized to 1 of 2 treatment groups: abatacept fixed dose approximating 10 mg/kg (based on participant's body weight; 500 mg for participants weighing \< 60kg; 750 mg for participants weighing 60 to 100 kg; and 1 gram for participants weighing \> 100 kg, monthly) or placebo intravenous (IV) infusion. All participants continued their background therapy(ies) for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) (non-biologic or biologic disease-modifying drugs \[DMARDs\], or combination) throughout the double-blind treatment period. Double-blind study medication (abatacept or placebo) was administered on Days 1, 15, 29, and every 28 days thereafter, for a total of 14 doses.

All participants who completed the 12-month double-blind study period (Day 1 through Day 365), were eligible to continue into the open-label period. All eligible participants (active or placebo) were re-allocated to receive abatacept at a weight-tiered dose that approximated 10 mg/kg, based on their Day 365 body weight. Participants continued to receive infusions every 28 days.

Double-blind abatacept

Participants received a fixed dose of abatacept approximating 10 mg/kg (500 mg for participants \< 60 kg, 750 mg for participants 60 to 100 kg and 1 g for participants \> 100 kg). Abatacept was administered intravenously (IV) on Days 1, 15, 29, and every 28 days thereafter, for a total of 14 doses. Participants also received background therapy(ies) for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) (non-biologic or biologic disease-modifying drugs \[DMARDs\], or combination) throughout the double-blind treatment period

Double-blind Placebo

Participants received Placebo (dextrose 5% water \[D5W\] for injection U.S.P or normal saline \[NS\]) for IV infusion administered on Days 1, 15, 29, and every 28 days thereafter, for a total of 14 doses. Participants also received background therapy(ies) for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) (non-biologic or biologic disease-modifying drugs \[DMARDs\], or combination) throughout the double-blind treatment period.
