Study summary

This is a randomized, double-blind study comparing ABT-494 to placebo in Japanese participants with moderately to severely active rheumatoid arthritis who are on a stable dose of conventional synthetic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (csDMARDs) and have an inadequate response.

Following marketing approval of upadacitinib for rheumatoid arthritis in Japan, this study will become a post-marketing clinical study and include a long-term extension period.

Read the detailed description

This study consisted of a 35-day screening period; a 12-week randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, placebo-controlled treatment period (Period 1); a 248-week blinded long-term extension period (Period 2); and a 30-day follow-up period (call or visit).

Participants who met eligibility criteria were randomized in a 3:3:3:1:1:1 ratio to one of six treatment groups:

  • Group 1: Upadacitinib 7.5 mg QD (Period 1) → upadacitinib 7.5 mg QD (Period 2)
  • Group 2: Upadacitinib 15 mg QD (Period 1) → upadacitinib 15 mg QD (Period 2)
  • Group 3: Upadacitinib 30 mg QD (Period 1) → upadacitinib 30 mg QD (Period 2)
  • Group 4: Placebo (Period 1) → upadacitinib 7.5 mg QD (Period 2)
  • Group 5: Placebo (Period 1) → upadacitinib 15 mg QD (Period 2)

  9. Change From Baseline in in Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy - Fatigue (FACIT-F) at Week 12

    The FACIT Fatigue scale is a 13-item tool that measures an individual's level of fatigue during their usual daily activities over the past 7 days. Each of the fatigue and impact of fatigue items are measured on a four point Likert scale. The FACIT Fatigue Scale is the sum of the individual 13 scores and ranges from 0 to 52 where higher scores indicate better quality of life. A positive change from Baseline indicates improvement.

    Time frame: Baseline and Week 12

  10. Change From Baseline in Rheumatoid Arthritis Work Instability Scale (RA-WIS) at Week 12

    RA-WIS is a simple validated tool to evaluate work instability (the consequence of a mismatch between an individual's functional ability and their work tasks). RA-WIS consists of 23 questions relating to the participant's functioning in their work environment, each answered as Yes or No. The total score is the number of questions answered Yes, and ranges from 0 to 23. A score \< 10 means low risk and no action is needed, scores between 10 and 17 indicate medium risk and appropriate advice and information should be given. If the score is \> 17, it means high risk and it could warrant referral. A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement.

    Time frame: Baseline and Week 12

  11. Change From Baseline in the Severity of Morning Stiffness at Week 12

    Morning stiffness severity was determined by the Patient's Assessment of Severity and Duration of Morning Stiffness questionnaire. Participants rated the severity of morning stiffness on awakening over the past 7 days on a scale from 0 (No morning stiffness) to 10 (Worst possible morning stiffness).

SecondaryPercentage of Participants Achieving Clinical Remission (CR) Based on DAS28(CRP) at Week 12

Clinical remission was defined as a DAS28 (CRP) score less than 2.6. The DAS28 is a composite index used to assess rheumatoid arthritis disease activity, calculated based on the tender joint count (out of 28 evaluated joints), swollen joint count (out of 28 evaluated joints), Patient's Global Assessment of Disease Activity (0-100 mm), and hsCRP (in mg/L). Scores on the DAS28 range from 0 to approximately 10, where higher scores indicate more disease activity.

SecondaryChange From Baseline in in Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy - Fatigue (FACIT-F) at Week 12

The FACIT Fatigue scale is a 13-item tool that measures an individual's level of fatigue during their usual daily activities over the past 7 days. Each of the fatigue and impact of fatigue items are measured on a four point Likert scale. The FACIT Fatigue Scale is the sum of the individual 13 scores and ranges from 0 to 52 where higher scores indicate better quality of life. A positive change from Baseline indicates improvement.

SecondaryChange From Baseline in Rheumatoid Arthritis Work Instability Scale (RA-WIS) at Week 12

RA-WIS is a simple validated tool to evaluate work instability (the consequence of a mismatch between an individual's functional ability and their work tasks). RA-WIS consists of 23 questions relating to the participant's functioning in their work environment, each answered as Yes or No. The total score is the number of questions answered Yes, and ranges from 0 to 23. A score \< 10 means low risk and no action is needed, scores between 10 and 17 indicate medium risk and appropriate advice and information should be given. If the score is \> 17, it means high risk and it could warrant referral. A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement.
