Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study to Evaluate Efficacy and Safety of Upadacitinib in Adults With Axial Spondyloarthritis (NCT NCT04169373)

NCT ID: NCT04169373

Last Updated: 2025-03-17

Results Overview

ASAS40 response was defined as improvement of ≥ 40% relative to Baseline and absolute improvement of ≥ 2 units (on a scale from 0 to 10) in ≥ 3 of the following 4 domains with no deterioration (defined as a net worsening of \> 0 units) in the potential remaining domain: * Patient's global assessment of disease activity, measured on a numeric rating scale (NRS) from 0 (no activity) to 10 (severe activity); * Pain, measured by the total back pain NRS from 0 (no pain) to 10 (most severe pain); * Function, measured by the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index (BASFI) which consists of 10 items assessing participants' ability to perform activities on an NRS ranging from 0 (easy) to 10 (impossible); * Inflammation, measured by the mean of the 2 morning stiffness-related Bath AS Disease Activity Index (BASDAI) NRS scores (items 5 \[level of stiffness\] and 6 \[duration of stiffness\]) each on a scale from 0 (none/0 hours) to 10 (very severe/2 hours or more duration).

Participant Flow

This master protocol consists of 2 independent studies with a common screening platform for adults with active axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA). Study 1 enrolled adults with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) who had an inadequate response (IR) to biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (bDMARD) therapy. Study 2 enrolled adults with non-radiographic axSpA (nr-axSpA). Each study includes a double-blind treatment period and an ongoing open-label extension period. Results are reported up to Week 52.

In each study participants were randomized equally to one of two treatment groups. In Study 1 randomization was stratified by high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) at Screening, class of the prior bDMARD use, and geographic region. In Study 2 randomization was stratified by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and Screening hsCRP status, and exposure to bDMARDs. For both studies Japan and China each had a separate randomization schedule stratified by Screening hsCRP and MRI (Study 2 only).

ASDAS is a composite index to assess disease activity in Ankylosing Spondylitis. ASDAS combines the following 5 disease activity variables using a weighted formula: 1. Patient's assessment of total back pain (BASDAI Question 2; NRS score 0 \[none\] - 10 \[very severe\]) 2. Patient global assessment of disease activity (NRS score 0 \[no activity\] - 10 \[severe activity\]) 3. Peripheral pain/swelling (BASDAI Question 3; NRS score 0 \[none\] - 10 \[very severe\]) 4. Duration of morning stiffness (BASDAI Question 6; NRS score 0 \[0 hours\] - 10 \[2 or more hours\]) 5. High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) in mg/L. The overall score ranges from 0 with no defined upper score; published ranges for disease activity states as defined by the ASDAS include Inactive disease (ASDAS \< 1.3) and very high disease (ASDAS \> 3.5). A negative change from Baseline score indicates improvement in disease activity.

In the SPARCC MRI assessment of the spine, the entire spine was evaluated for active inflammation (bone marrow edema). Six discovertebral units (DVU) representing the 6 most abnormal DVUs were selected to calculate the MRI Spine SPARCC score. For each of the 6 DVUs, 3 consecutive sagittal slices were assessed in 4 quadrants to evaluate the extent of inflammation in all three dimensions. Each quadrant was scored for the presence (1) or absence (0) of edema. If edema was present in at least one quadrant of a DVU slice, it was also scored for intensity and depth of the edema representing that slice: An additional score of 1 was assigned if an intense signal was seen in any quadrant on a DVU slice. Slices that included a lesion demonstrating continuous increased signal of depth ≥ 1 cm extending from the endplate were scored as an additional 1 per slice. The maximum (worst) overall score for all 6 DVUs is 108. A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement.

The BASDAI assesses disease activity by asking the participant to answer 6 questions (each on an 11 point numeric rating scale \[NRS\]) pertaining to symptoms experienced for the past week. For Questions 1 to 5 (level of fatigue/tiredness, level of AS neck, back or hip pain, level of pain/swelling in joints, other than neck, back or hips, level of discomfort from any areas tender to touch or pressure, and level of morning stiffness), the response is from 0 (none) to 10 (very severe); for Question 6 (duration of morning stiffness), the response is from 0 (0 hours) to 10 (≥ 2 hours). The overall BASDAI score ranges from 0 to 10. Lower scores indicate less disease activity. A BASDAI 50 response is defined as improvement of 50% or more from Baseline in BASDAI score.

The Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index is a validated index to determine the degree of functional limitation in patients with AS. BASFI consists of 10 questions assessing participants' ability to perform activities such as putting on socks, bending, reaching, getting up from the floor or an armless chair, standing, climbing and other physical activities. Each item is scored on a NRS ranging from 0 (easy to perform an activity) to 10 (impossible to perform an activity). The overall score is the mean of the 10 items and ranges from 0 to 10 with higher scores indicating more functional limitations. A negative change from Baseline in BASFI indicates improvement.

The BASMI is a composite score based on 5 direct measurements of spinal mobility: 1. cervical rotation (measured in degrees), 2. tragus to wall distance (in centimeters \[cm\]) 3. lumbar side flexion (in cm), 4. lumbar flexion (modified Schober's) (in cm) and 5. intermalleolar distance (in cm). Each measurement is converted to a linear score between 0 and 10. The total BASMI(lin) score is the average of the 5 scores and ranges from 0 to 10; the higher the BASMI(lin) score the more severe the patient's limitation of movement due to their ankylosing spondylitis. A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement.

ASDAS is a composite index to assess disease activity in Ankylosing Spondylitis. ASDAS combines the following 5 disease activity variables using a weighted formula: 1. Patient's assessment of total back pain (BASDAI Question 2; NRS score 0 \[none\] - 10 \[very severe\]) 2. Patient global assessment of disease activity (NRS score 0 \[no activity\] - 10 \[severe activity\]) 3. Peripheral pain/swelling (BASDAI Question 3; NRS score 0 \[none\] - 10 \[very severe\]) 4. Duration of morning stiffness (BASDAI Question 6; NRS score 0 \[0 hours\] - 10 \[2 or more hours\]) 5. High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) in mg/L. The overall score ranges from 0 with no defined upper score; published ranges for disease activity states as defined by the ASDAS include Inactive disease (ASDAS \< 1.3) and very high disease (ASDAS \> 3.5). A negative change from Baseline score indicates improvement in disease activity.

Population: Full analysis set; participants who discontinued study drug prior to Week 14 or with missing data for reasons other than COVID-19 were counted as non-responders (non-responder imputation); Missing data due to COVID-19 infection or logistical restriction was handled by multiple imputation.

The BASDAI assesses disease activity by asking the participant to answer 6 questions (each on an 11 point numeric rating scale \[NRS\]) pertaining to symptoms experienced for the past week. For Questions 1 to 5 (level of fatigue/tiredness, level of AS neck, back or hip pain, level of pain/swelling in joints, other than neck, back or hips, level of discomfort from any areas tender to touch or pressure, and level of morning stiffness), the response is from 0 (none) to 10 (very severe); for Question 6 (duration of morning stiffness), the response is from 0 (0 hours) to 10 (≥ 2 hours). The overall BASDAI score ranges from 0 to 10. Lower scores indicate less disease activity. A BASDAI 50 response is defined as improvement of 50% or more from Baseline in BASDAI score.

In the SPARCC MRI assessment of the spine, the entire spine is evaluated for active inflammation (bone marrow edema). Six discovertebral units (DVU) representing the 6 most abnormal DVUs were selected to calculate the MRI Spine SPARCC score. For each of the 6 DVUs, 3 consecutive sagittal slices were assessed in 4 quadrants to evaluate the extent of inflammation in all three dimensions. Each quadrant was scored for the presence (1) or absence (0) of edema. If edema was present in at least one quadrant of a DVU slice, it was also scored for intensity and depth of the edema representing that slice: An additional score of 1 was assigned if an intense signal was seen in any quadrant on a DVU slice. Slices that included a lesion demonstrating continuous increased signal of depth ≥ 1 cm extending from the endplate were scored as an additional 1 per slice. The maximum (worst) overall score for all 6 DVUs is 108. A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement.

ASDAS is a composite index to assess disease activity in Ankylosing Spondylitis. ASDAS combines the following 5 disease activity variables using a weighted formula: 1. Patient's assessment of total back pain (BASDAI Question 2; NRS score 0 \[none\] - 10 \[very severe\]) 2. Patient global assessment of disease activity (NRS score 0 \[no activity\] - 10 \[severe activity\]) 3. Peripheral pain/swelling (BASDAI Question 3; NRS score 0 \[none\] - 10 \[very severe\]) 4. Duration of morning stiffness (BASDAI Question 6; NRS score 0 \[0 hours\] - 10 \[2 or more hours\]) 5. High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) in mg/L. The overall score ranges from 0 with no defined upper score; published ranges for disease activity states as defined by the ASDAS include Inactive disease (ASDAS \< 1.3) and very high disease (ASDAS \> 3.5). Major Improvement is defined as a change from Baseline of ≤ -2.0.
