About this study

Official title: Phase II Study of Safety and Efficacy of Intravenous LY2127399 in Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis Treated With Methotrexate

This study is a multicenter, double-blind, study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of treatment with LY2127399 (in addition to the standard of care treatment, methotrexate) for participants with Rheumatoid Arthritis. Participants will receive three intravenous doses of LY2127399 or placebo. Participants will participate in 10 or more visits to the study site, over 6 months. Evaluation of safety and efficacy will be conducted throughout the study.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Percentage of Participants Achieving American College of Rheumatology 20% Response (ACR20) (Effectiveness of LY2127399 in Treating Rheumatoid Arthritis Using the ACR20 Scale)

    ACR Responder Index is a Composite of clinical, laboratory, and functional measures of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). ACR20 Responders: had ≥20% improvement from baseline in both tender and swollen joint counts and ≥20% improvement in at least 3 of 5 criteria: participant's and physician's global assessment of disease activity, Health Assessment Questionnaire-Disability Index (HAQ-DI) (which measured participants' perceived degree of difficulty performing daily activities), visual analog pain scale, and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) or C-reactive protein (CRP).

    Measured: Week 16

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAE) (Safety of Repeat Doses (3) of LY2127399 Through Evaluation of Laboratory Tests, Vital Signs and Electrocardiograms)

    Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were defined as those AEs with start date and time equal to or after the start of study medication infusion. In the case of a missing onset time for an AE, an AE with a start date equal to or greater than the dosing date was considered treatment-emergent. A summary of other nonserious AEs, and all SAE's, regardless of causality, is located in the Reported Adverse Events section.

    All participants who received at least one dose of study drug. Due to dosing errors (a participant received 60 mg LY2127399 in the placebo group), the safety population was adjusted to account for actual treatment received.

    Measured: Baseline through Study Completion (Up to 19 Months)

  2. Evaluation of the Pharmacokinetics of LY2127399: Clearance

    Population estimate of constant clearance as determined by population PK analysis. A 2-compartment model was used in PK modeling. Constant clearance is the PK parameter which describes the linear elimination of LY2127399 from serum.

    Measured: 2 hours pre-dose, pre-dose, 1 hour and 4 hour(s) post dose

  3. Percentage of Participants Achieving ACR 50 and ACR70

    ACR Responder Index: composite of clinical, laboratory, and functional measures of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). ACR50 and ACR70 Responder: had either a ≥50% or ≥70% improvement from baseline in both tender and swollen joint counts and either a ≥50% or ≥70% improvement in at least 3 of 5 criteria: participant's (Pt's) and physician's global assessment of disease activity, HAQ-DI (measured Pts' perceived degree of difficulty performing daily activities), joint pain, and CRP (respectively).

    Measured: Baseline through Week 24

  4. Change From Baseline in the Disease Activity Score 28 Joint Count (DAS28-CRP)

    Disease Activity Score (DAS) modified to include 28 joint count (DAS28) consisted of composite score of following variables: tender joint count (TJC28), swollen joint count (SJC28), CRP [milligrams per liter (mg/L)], and participant's global assessment of disease activity using visual analog scale (VAS) (participant global VAS). DAS28-CRP=0.56*square root (sqrt)(TJC28)+0.28*sqrt(SJC28)+0.36*natural log(CRP+1)+0.014*participant global VAS+0.96. Scores ranged from 1.0-9.4, where lower scores indicated less disease activity and remission is DAS28-CRP <2.6. A negative change indicated an improvement.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 24

  5. European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR28) Response: Percentage of Participants With Combined Good and Moderate Responses

    EULAR Responder index based on 28 joint counts categorizes clinical response based on improvement since baseline in DAS28-CRP. DAS28-CRP scores range from 1.0-9.4, where lower scores indicated less disease activity. High disease activity: DAS28-CRP >5.1, low disease activity: DAS28-CRP <3.2, and remission: DAS28-CRP <2.6. Participants are categorized as EULAR responders or non-responders (NR) based on improvement of DAS28-CRP scores from baseline. EULAR DAS28-CRP responder index defines a good (absolute: <3.2 or >1.2 improvement from baseline), moderate (absolute: 3.2-5.1 or 0.6-1.2 improvement from baseline), or no response (absolute: >5.1 or <0.6 improvement from baseline). Percentage of participants with DAS28-CRP based EULAR response =(number of participants with specific response) / (number of participants analyzed in the group) * 100.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 24

  6. Change From Baseline (CFB) in Serum Immunoglobulins IgG, IgA and IgM

    Immunoglobulins (Ig), or antibodies, are large proteins used by the immune system to identify and neutralize foreign particles such as bacteria and viruses. Their normal blood levels indicate proper immune status. A negative change indicates a decrease in Ig levels.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 24

  7. Change From Baseline in CD20+ B Cell Number Count

    CD20+ B-cells are a disease-related peripheral blood biomarker used to assess disease progression of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). A reduction in CD20+ B-cell values may indicate an improvement in RA symptoms.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 24

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing LY2127399 in people with Arthritis, Rheumatoid, run by Eli Lilly and Company at 14 sites in Romania.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Sep 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 14 sites in Romania. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 18 Mar 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Percentage of Participants Achieving American College of Rheumatology 20% Response (ACR20) (Effectiveness of LY2127399 in Treating Rheumatoid Arthritis Using the ACR20 Scale) (time frame: Week 16). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00308282, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 10 Sep 2019.
