About this study

Official title: A Phase 2, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Parallel-Group Study to Assess the Safety and Efficacy of Maraviroc in the Treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis in Subjects Receiving Methotrexate

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether maraviroc, an investigational drug given with methotrexate (MTX) is safe and effective in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis in adult patients.

Read the detailed description

Following a planned interim analysis in the POC component on 21 August 2008 by the internal DMC (Data Monitoring Committee) of study A4001056, the trial was discontinued due to lack of efficacy. All participating investigators/country offices and monitors were notified on 22 August 2008 to cease patient enrollment. The DMC indicated that maraviroc was well tolerated in the Rheumatoid Arthritis patients and there were no safety concerns in the study. The termination date of this trial was 07 October 2008 when the last patient last visit occurred.

What is being measured

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

  1. American College of Rheumatology (ACR) 20% Responders at Week 12

    A subject was an ACR 20 responder if: the counts for both tender and swollen joints had reduced by 20% or more from baseline; and 3 out of the following 5 assessments showed reduction of 20% or more from baseline assessment: Patient's Assessment of Arthritis Pain (Visual Analogue Scale [VAS]), Patient's Global Assessment of Arthritis (VAS), Physician's Global Assessment of Arthritis (Categorical), Health Assessment Questionnaire - Disability Index (HAQ-DI), and C-Reactive Protein (CRP).

    Measured: Week 12

Secondary outcomes (24)
  1. ACR 20% Responders at Weeks 1, 2, 4, and 8

    A subject was an ACR 20 responder if: the counts for both tender and swollen joints had reduced by 20% or more from baseline; and 3 out of the following 5 assessments showed reduction of 20% or more from baseline assessment: Patient's Assessment of Arthritis Pain, Patient's Global Assessment of Arthritis, Physician's Global Assessment of Arthritis, HAQ-DI, and CRP. The Week 16 visit (follow-up) was designed for safety rather than efficacy, thus Week 16 ACR 20% data were collected, but not analyzed.

    Measured: Weeks 1, 2, 4, and 8

  2. ACR 50% Responders at Weeks 1, 2, 4, 8, and 12

    A subject was an ACR 50 responder if: the counts for both tender and swollen joints had reduced by 50% or more from baseline; and 3 out of the following 5 assessments showed reduction of 50% or more from baseline assessment: Patient's Assessment of Arthritis Pain, Patient's Global Assessment of Arthritis, Physician's Global Assessment of Arthritis, HAQ-DI, and CRP. The Week 16 visit (follow-up) was designed for safety rather than efficacy, thus Week 16 ACR 50% data were collected, but not analyzed.

    Measured: Weeks 1, 2, 4, 8, and 12

  3. ACR 70% Responders at Weeks 1, 2, 4, 8, and 12

    A subject was an ACR 70 responder if: the counts for both tender and swollen joints had reduced by 70% or more from baseline; and 3 out of the following 5 assessments showed reduction of 70% or more from baseline assessment: Patient's Assessment of Arthritis Pain, Patient's Global Assessment of Arthritis, Physician's Global Assessment of Arthritis, HAQ-DI, and CRP. The Week 16 visit (follow-up) was designed for safety rather than efficacy, thus Week 16 ACR 70% data were collected, but not analyzed.

    Measured: Weeks 1, 2, 4, 8, and 12

  4. Change From Baseline in Tender/Painful Joint Count at Weeks 1, 2, 4, 8, and 12

    Change from baseline at each visit was analyzed for tender/painful joint count. Twenty-eight tender and swollen joint scores included the same joints: shoulders, elbows, wrists, metacarpophalangeal joints (MCP), proximal interphalangeal joints (PIP), and the knees. The Week 16 visit (follow-up) was designed for safety rather than efficacy, thus Week 16 tender/painful joint count data were collected, but not analyzed.

    Measured: Baseline, Weeks 1, 2, 4, 8, and 12

  5. Change From Baseline in Swollen Joint Count at Weeks 1, 2, 4, 8, and 12

    Change from baseline at each visit was analyzed for swollen joint count. Twenty-eight tender and swollen joint scores included the same joints: shoulders, elbows, wrists, MCP joints, PIP joints, and the knees. The Week 16 visit (follow-up) was designed for safety rather than efficacy, thus Week 16 swollen joint count data were collected, but not analyzed.

    Measured: Baseline, Weeks 1, 2, 4, 8, and 12

  6. Change From Baseline in Patient's Assessment of Arthritis Pain at Weeks 1, 2, 4, 8, and 12

    The severity of arthritis was scored by the subject between 0 (no pain) and 100 (most severe pain) on a 100 mm VAS. Change from baseline at each visit was analyzed for Patient's Assessment of Arthritis Pain. The Week 16 visit (follow-up) was designed for safety rather than efficacy, thus Week 16 Patient's Assessment of Arthritis Pain data were collected, but not analyzed.

    Measured: Baseline, Weeks 1, 2, 4, 8, and 12

  7. Change From Baseline in Patient's Global Assessment of Arthritis Pain at Weeks 1, 2, 4, 8, and 12

    Subjects answered: "Considering all the ways your arthritis affects you, how are you feeling today?" Subjects responded by using a 0 - 100 mm VAS where 0=very well and 100=very poorly. Change from baseline at each visit was analyzed for Patient's Global Assessment. The Week 16 visit (follow-up) was designed for safety rather than efficacy, thus Week 16 Patient's Global Assessment of Arthritis Pain data were collected, but not analyzed.

    Measured: Baseline, Weeks 1, 2, 4, 8, and 12

  8. Change From Baseline in Physician's Global Assessment of Arthritis Pain at Weeks 1, 2, 4, 8, and 12

    Physician's evaluation based on subject's disease signs, functional capacity and physical exam. Response recorded using 5-point scale: 1=Very Good, 2=Good, 3=Fair, 4=Poor and 5=Very Poor. Change from baseline at each visit was analyzed for Physician's Global Assessment. The Week 16 visit (follow-up) was designed for safety rather than efficacy thus Week 16 Physician's Global Assessment of Arthritis Pain data were collected but not analyzed.

    Measured: Baseline, Weeks 1, 2, 4, 8, and 12

  9. Change From Baseline in HAQ-DI at Weeks 1, 2, 4, 8, and 12

    HAQ-DI assesses degree of difficulty experienced in daily activity categories (dressing/grooming, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip and other activities) over the past week. There are 20 questions and difficulty is scored from 0 (none), 1 (some), 2 (much) and 3 (unable to do). Scores were then averaged to give the disability index (scale of 0 to 3). Change from baseline at each visit was analyzed. The Week 16 visit (follow-up) was designed for safety rather than efficacy, thus Week 16 HAQ-DI data were collected but not analyzed.

    Measured: Baseline, Weeks 1, 2, 4, 8, and 12

  10. Change From Baseline in CRP at Weeks 1, 2, 4, 8, and 12

    Change from baseline at each visit were analyzed for CRP. The Week 16 visit (follow-up) was designed for safety rather than efficacy, thus Week 16 CRP data were collected, but not analyzed.

    Measured: Baseline, Weeks 1, 2, 4, 8, and 12

  11. Change From Baseline in Disease Activity Score Using CRP (DAS28-4[CRP]) at Weeks 1, 2, 4, 8, and 12

    DAS28-4 (CRP) was calculated using the following formula:

    DAS28- 4(CRP) = 0.56 √28 Tender Joint Count + 0.28 √28 Swollen Joint Count + 0.36*natural logarithm(CRP + 1) + 0.014*Patient Global Assessment + 0.96. DAS28 provides a number on a scale (0 to 10) indicating current disease activity. A score above 5.1 means high disease activity and a score below 3.2 indicates low disease activity. Change from baseline at each visit was analyzed for DAS28-4 (CRP). The Week 16 visit (follow-up) was designed for safety rather than efficacy, thus Week 16 DAS28-4 (CRP) data were collected, but not analyzed.

    Measured: Baseline, Weeks 1, 2, 4, 8, and 12

  12. Change From Baseline in Mean Orthostatic Blood Pressure (BP)

    Supine BP was recorded after 5 minutes lying down; subjects then sat for 2 minutes then stood for 2 minutes and standing BP was recorded. Orthostatic BP = either a systolic BP drop > 20 mmHg, or diastolic BP drop > 10 mmHg and/or drop in systolic BP < 90 mmHg. If a subject met the orthostatic criteria, they were required to complete 2 additional readings to provide a triplicate reading. The means of replicate BP values were used in the analysis. Baseline = the latest non-missing value from a range of pre-treatment visits. Change from baseline to Week 16 was analyzed for orthostatic BP.

    Measured: Baseline, 16 weeks

  13. Change From Baseline in Mean Heart Rate

    Heart rate = standing and supine at the same time the orthostatic BP measurements were obtained. Baseline was defined to be the latest non-missing value from a range of pre-treatment visits. Means of replicate values were not used.

    Measured: Baseline, 16 weeks

  14. Number of Subjects With Categorical Absolute Vital Signs and Vital Sign Changes Compared to Baseline

    Baseline was defined to be the latest non-missing value from a range of pre-treatment visits. Maximum increase from baseline in supine and standing systolic BP was > = 30 mmHg, and maximum increase from baseline in supine and standing diastolic BP was > = 20 mmHg.

    Measured: Baseline, 16 weeks

  15. Change From Baseline in 12-Lead Electrocardiogram (ECG) Parameters (RR Interval, PR Interval, QRS Complex, QT Interval, Corrected QT [QTc] Interval, QTcB Interval [Bazett's Correction], QTcF Interval [Fridericia's Correction]).

    Baseline was defined to be the latest non-missing value from a range of pre-treatment visits. Means of replicate values were used. QTc interval was not measured for the PK populations.

    Measured: Baseline, 16 weeks

  16. Change From Baseline in 12-Lead Electrocardiogram (ECG) Parameters (Heart Rate).

    Baseline was defined to be the latest non-missing value from a range of pre-treatment visits. Means of replicate values were used.

    Measured: Baseline, 16 weeks

  17. Number of Subjects With Categorical Absolute ECG Parameters and ECG Changes Compared to Baseline

    Maximum QTcB, QTcF, and QTc intervals were defined as 450 to < 480 msec, 480 to < 500 msec, or > = 500 msec.

    Measured: Baseline, 16 weeks

  18. Change From Baseline in Short Form-36 (SF-36) Physical Component Summary at Weeks 4 and 12

    The SF-36 v.2 (Acute version) is a 36-item generic health status measure that measures 8 general health concepts: Physical functioning, role-physical, bodily pain, general health, vitality, social functioning, role-emotional, and mental health. Each domain of the eight domains and the summary concept (physical component score) are scored to yield values between 0 (worst) and 100 (best). Change from baseline at Weeks 4 and 12 were analyzed for SF-36. Due to the termination of the study, SF-36 results for the PK component group were not analyzed.

    Measured: Baseline, Weeks 4 and 12

  19. Change From Baseline in SF-36 Mental Component Summary at Weeks 4 and 12

    The SF-36 v.2 (Acute version) [12] is a 36-item generic health status measure that measures 8 general health concepts: Physical functioning, role-physical, bodily pain, general health, vitality, social functioning, role-emotional, and mental health. Each domain of the eight domains and the summary concept (mental component score) are scored to yield values between 0 (worst) and 100 (best). Change from baseline at Weeks 4 and 12 were analyzed for SF-36. Due to the termination of the study, SF-36 results for the PK component group were not analyzed.

    Measured: Baseline, Weeks 4 and 12

  20. Number of Subjects With Withdrawal From Study Due to Lack of Efficacy

    Withdrawal is the total number of withdrawals from the study. Withdrawal due to lack of efficacy was collected based on the investigator's judgement.

    Measured: 16 weeks

  21. Survival Analysis of Time to Withdrawal: Proportion of Subjects Who Did Not Withdraw From the Study Due to Lack of Efficacy.

    Withdrawal due to lack of efficacy was collected based on the investigator's judgement. Time to withdrawal was measured by the probability that a subject did not withdraw due to lack of efficacy by a particular visit. This was a statistical estimate (Kaplan-Meier Survival Analysis) of the probability that a participant would not withdraw due to lack of efficacy.

    Measured: Weeks 1 to 12

  22. Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Profile From Time Zero to Four Hours Postdose (AUC 0-4) for MTX at Screening and Week 1 and Maraviroc at Week 1

    Effect of maraviroc on the PK of MTX (comparison of AUC0-4 of MTX at screening versus at Week 1 after coadministration with 150 mg or 300 mg of maraviroc). PK was assessed at screening (MTX) and at Week 1 (maraviroc and MTX).

    Measured: Screening (1, 2, 3, and 4 hours post-dose), Week 1 (0.5, 1, 2, 3, and 4 hours post-dose)

  23. Maximum Observed Concentration (Cmax) During the Dosing Interval for MTX at Screening and Week 1 and Maraviroc at Week 1

    Effect of maraviroc on the PK of MTX (comparison of Cmax of MTX at screening versus at Week 1 after coadministration with 150 mg or 300 mg of maraviroc). PK was assessed at screening (MTX) and at Week 1 (maraviroc and MTX).

    Measured: Screening (1, 2, 3, and 4 hours post-dose), Week 1 (0.5, 1, 2, 3, and 4 hours post-dose)

  24. Time for Cmax (Tmax) for MTX at Screening and Week 1 and Maraviroc at Week 1

    PK was assessed at screening (MTX) and at Week 1 (maraviroc and MTX).

    Measured: Screening (1, 2, 3, and 4 hours post-dose), Week 1 (0.5, 1, 2, 3, and 4 hours post-dose)

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 4 inclusion and 14 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Nov 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 44 sites in United States, Spain, Australia, Germany, India and 4 more countries. 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?

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?

American College of Rheumatology (ACR) 20% Responders at Week 12 (time frame: Week 12). 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 NCT00427934, 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?
