NCT ID: NCT05604885

Last Updated: 2024-11-06

Basic Information

• Recruitment Status: COMPLETED
• Clinical Phase: PHASE2
• Total Enrollment: 125 participants
• Study Classification: INTERVENTIONAL
• Study Start Date: 2022-11-30
• Study Completion Date: 2023-08-28

Brief Summary

The RESOLVE study is a two-part, randomized, double-blind, multi-center, placebo-controlled study of the safety, dose-range finding confirmation, and efficacy of 4 (Part A) and 12 weeks (Part B) of treatment with AP1189 in adult RA patients with an inadequate response to MTX alone.

Detailed Description

In Part A approximately 120 randomized patients will be treated with either 60 mg AP1189, 80 mg AP1189, 100 mg AP1189 or placebo once daily for 4 weeks as add-on treatment to stable MTX treatment. Part A will conclude with an unblinded assessment for risk/benefit and a recommendation for dose selection for Part B.

In Part B patients will be randomized into groups of equal size evaluating 2-3 doses of AP1189 versus placebo. All doses will be administered once daily for 12 weeks as add-on treatment to stable MTX treatment. The proposed sample size per dose group/placebo group is 75 patients, by which the total study population of Part B may be either 225 or 300 patients, depending on the number of dose groups of AP1189 selected for evaluation based on Part A.
