Study summary

This is a phase III, double-blind, randomized, multicenter, and parallel group trial with a duration of 24 weeks, followed by a 120 week Open-label Period. The primary purpose of the study is to demonstrate the efficacy and safety of ofatumumab in reducing clinical signs and symptoms in adult RA patients who had an inadequate response to TNF-α antagonist therapy.

Read the detailed description

This study consist of a double-blind, placebo controlled, and parallel group part with eligible patients enrolled into a 24 week Double-Blind Period, and randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either ofatumumab or placebo in addition to their background methotrexate treatment. Patients who complete the 24 week Double-blind Period without receiving rescue DMARD treatment will then be eligible to proceed into the 120 week Open-label Period to receive repeat treatment courses with ofatumumab. In the Open-label Period ofatumumab treatment courses will be given at individualized time intervals only if a clinical response has been achieved following the previous treatment course, and followed by a subsequent worsening in disease activity.

Patients who have completed the Open-label Period or have been withdrawn will then enter a maximum 2 year Follow-up Period, or until there B-cells return to normal or to baseline levels, whichever occurs earlier

SecondaryChange From Baseline in the Health Assessment Questionnaire Disability Index (HAQ-DI) Score at Weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, and 24

The HAQ-DI is a 20-question instrument used to assess the degree of difficulty a participant had in accomplishing tasks in 8 functional areas (FAs): dressing, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reaching, gripping, and errands/chores. Responses for each FA were scored from 0 (no difficulty) to 3 (inability to perform a task). The total score (range of 0-3) was calculated by adding the 8 individual FA scores, then dividing this sum by the total number of components answered. Responders were defined as participants achieving an improvement from baseline in the HAQ-DI score at Week 24 of \>=0.22.

SecondaryNumber of Participants With the Indicated Clinical Chemistry Values of Potential Clinical Concern at Baseline or Any Visit Post-baseline, During the DB and OL Periods, by Ofatumumab Treatment Course

Only those parameters for which at least one value of clinical concern (CC) was reported are summarized. The baseline (BL) value for a treatment course is defined as the latest value on or before the date of infusion A of the treatment course. The post-baseline (PBL) visit is defined as any visit after the date of infusion A during the specified treatment course. Pre-defined limits of potential clinical concern (CC Low \[relative to the lower limit of normal\], CC High \[relative to the upper limit of normal\]) are: Albumin: 0.9, 1.5; Alanine amino transferase (ALT): NA, 2; Alkaline phosphatase (ALP): NA, 1.5; Aspartate amino transferase (AST): NA, 2; Bilirubin total (TBIL): NA, 1.5; Calcium: 0.85, 1.08; CO2 content/bicarbonate (BCO): 0.85, 1.2; Creatine kinase (CK): NA, 2; Creatinine: NA, 1.2; Gamma glutamyl transferase (GGT): NA, 2; Potassium: 0.9, 1.1; Urea/blood urea nitrogen (BUN): NA, 1.5; Uric acid: NA, 1.5.

SecondaryNumber of Participants With the Indicated Hematology Values of Potential Clinical Concern at Baseline or Any Visit Post-baseline, During the DB and OL Periods, by Ofatumumab Treatment Course

Only those parameters for which at least one value of clinical concern (CC) was reported are summarized. The baseline (BL) value for a treatment course is defined as the latest value on or before the date of infusion A of the treatment course. The post-baseline (PBL) visit is defined as any visit after the date of infusion A during the specified treatment course. Pre-defined limits of potential clinical concern (CC Low \[relative to lower limit of normal\], CC High \[relative to upper limit of normal\]) are: Eosinophils: NA, 2; Hematocrit (HCT): 0.75, 1.2; Hemoglobin (Hb): 0.75, 1.2; Monocytes: 0.2, 5 2; Neutrophils total (TNUE): 0.8, 1.6; Platelet count (PC): 0.65, 1.5; Red blood cell count (RBC): 0.7, 5 2; White blood cell count (WBC): 0.7, 1.6.

SecondaryNumber of Participants With Vital Sign Data Outside the Clinical Concern Range at Baseline or Any Visit Post-baseline, During the DB and OL Periods, by Ofatumumab Treatment Course

The baseline value for a treatment course is defined as the value before infusion A of each treatment course. The post-baseline visit is defined as any assessment during or after the start of infusion A during the specified treatment course. Pre-defined limits of potential clinical concern for vital signs (Low, High) are: Diastolic blood pressure (DBP) (millimeters of mercury \[mmHg\]): 40, 110; Systolic blood pressure (SBP) (mmHg): 90, 170; Heart rate (beats per minute): 35, 120. LLN=lower limit of normal; ULN=upper limit of normal.
