What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants Who Had Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    A TEAE started on or after the date and time of the first dose of study drug administered in this study, or started prior to the study drug administration but worsened after the study drug started. Clinically significant events were defined as SAEs and other non-serious adverse events (AEs). A summary of SAEs and other non-serious AEs is located in the Reported Adverse Events module. Participants were on treatment up to 48 weeks. If a participant completed 48 weeks of treatment, the post-study treatment follow-up started at the next visit, 4 weeks later (Week 52). If a participant discontinued treatment early [early discontinuation (ED)], the post-study treatment follow-up started immediately afterwards. Baseline was defined as Week 0 in this study [which is equivalent to Week 24 of the participant's prior study: Study H9B-MC-BCDG (NCT00689728) or Study H9B-MC-BCDH (NCT00785928)].

    Measured: Baseline through Week 52 (up to 48 weeks of treatment or ED and follow-up through Week 52)

  2. Number of Participants With Planned Laboratory Evaluations (Including Hematology, Clinical Chemistry, and Urinalysis) Reported as AEs

    For each planned laboratory evaluation, the range of values to be reported as AEs, regardless of causality, was pre-specified. A summary of SAEs and other non-serious AEs regardless of causality is located in the Reported Adverse Events module. Baseline was defined as Week 0 in this study [which is equivalent to Week 24 of the participant's prior study: Study H9B-MC-BCDG (NCT00689728) or Study H9B-MC-BCDH (NCT00785928)].

    Measured: Baseline through Week 112

Secondary outcomes (22)
  1. Change From Baseline in Tender Joint Count [Individual Component of the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) Core Set]

    The number of tender and painful joints was determined by examination of 28 joints (14 on each side) which included: the 2 shoulders, the 2 elbows, the 2 wrists, the 10 metacarpophalangeal joints, the 2 interphalangeal joints of the thumb, the 8 proximal interphalangeal joints, and the 2 knees. Joints were assessed by pressure and joint manipulation on physical examination. The participant was asked for pain sensations on these manipulations and the investigator watched for spontaneous pain reactions. Any positive response on pressure, movement, or both was translated into a single tender-versus-nontender dichotomy. Baseline was defined as the last assessment prior to the participant's first dose of LY2127399 in Study H9B-MC-BCDG (NCT00689728), Study H9B-MC-BCDH (NCT00785928), or this study. A decrease in tender joint count indicated an improvement in the participant's condition.

    Measured: Baseline, up to and through Week 52

  15. Change From Baseline in Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) Component Scores

    SF-36 was a 36-item, health-related survey that assessed participant's quality of life on 8 domains: physical functioning, bodily pain, role limitations due to physical problems, role limitations due to emotional problems, general health, mental health, social functioning, vitality and 2 component scores (mental and physical health). Domain scores calculated by summing individual items for each domain and transforming scores into 0 to 100 scale; higher scores indicated better health status. The mental component summary (MCS) score, based on SF-36 domains, consisted of social functioning, vitality, mental health, and role-emotional scales (range: 0 to 100). The physical component summary (PCS) score, based on SF-36 domains, consisted of physical functioning, bodily pain, role-physical, and general health scales (range: 0 to 100).

    B-lymphocyte antigen CD20+ is an activated-glycosylated phosphoprotein expressed on the surface of all mature B cells. Baseline was defined as the last measurement prior to randomization to any treatment in either Study H9B-MC-BCDG (NCT00689728) or Study H9B-MC-BCDH (NCT00785928). A negative change indicated a decrease in cell count.

    Measured: Baseline, Weeks 52, 60, 72, 80, 88, and 100

  17. Pharmacodynamics: Change From Baseline in Peripheral Blood B Cell Subsets (Absolute Cell Counts)

    Cell surface marker CD19, CD27, and immunoglobulin D (IgD) expression levels were used to define the various B cell subsets. Cell surface markers were defined as being either present (+) or absent (-). Peripheral blood B cell subsets included: mature naive cells (CD19+IgD+CD27-); immature/transitional cells (CD19+IgD-CD27-); switched memory (CD19+IgD-CD27+); and non-switched memory (CD19+IgD+CD27+). Baseline was defined as the last measurement prior to randomization to any treatment in either Study H9B-MC-BCDG (NCT00689728) or Study H9B-MC-BCDH (NCT00785928). A negative change indicated a decrease in cell count.

  18. Pharmacodynamics: Change From Baseline in Serum Immunoglobulin

    Immunoglobulins, 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. Change from baseline serum immunoglobulin G (IgG), immunoglobulin M (IgM), and immunoglobulin A (IgA) levels are reported. Baseline was defined as the last measurement prior to randomization to any treatment in either Study H9B-MC-BCDG (NCT00689728) or Study H9B-MC-BCDH (NCT00785928). A negative change indicated a decrease in immunoglobulin levels.

    Measured: Baseline, up to Week 52

  19. Pharmacodynamics: Change From Baseline in Rheumatoid Factor (RF) Levels at Week 52

    RF is an autoantibody (antibody directed against an organism's own tissues) most relevant in rheumatoid arthritis. Higher RF levels indicate an aggressive rheumatoid arthritis and a higher risk of joint damage. Baseline was defined as Week 0 in this study [which is equivalent to Week 24 of the participant's prior study: Study H9B-MC-BCDG (NCT00689728) or Study H9B-MC-BCDH (NCT00785928)]. A decrease in RF levels indicated an improvement in the participant's condition. Results for the 60/120/60 mg LY2127399 treatment arm were not analyzed as the participant did not have a Week 52 RF level assessment.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 52

  20. Pharmacodynamics: Change From Baseline in Serum Anti-Cyclic Citrullinated Peptide (Anti-CCP) Antibodies

    Anti-CCP antibodies were measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method. In general, high levels of the antibody indicated an aggressive rheumatoid arthritis and a higher risk of joint damage. Baseline was defined as Week 0 in this study [which is equivalent to Week 24 of the participant's prior study: Study H9B-MC-BCDG (NCT00689728) or Study H9B-MC-BCDH (NCT00785928)]. A decrease in anti-CCP antibodies indicated an improvement in the participant's condition.

    Measured: Baseline, up to Week 52

  21. Pharmacodynamics: Percent Change From Baseline in Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR)

    ESR is a laboratory test that provides a non-specific measure of inflammation. The test assessed the rate at which red blood cells fell in a test tube. Normal range was considered to be 0 to 20 or 0 to 30 millimeters per hour (mm/h), depending on the reference range used by the laboratory. Higher scores indicated greater inflammation. Percent change from baseline ESR=[(post-baseline ESR- baseline ESR)/baseline ESR]*100. Baseline was defined as Week 0 in this study [which is equivalent to Week 24 of the participant's prior study: Study H9B-MC-BCDG (NCT00689728) or Study H9B-MC-BCDH (NCT00785928)]. A decrease in ESR indicated an improvement in the participant's condition.

    Measured: Baseline, up to Week 52

  22. Number of Participants With LY2127399 Immunogenicity (Anti-LY2127399 Antibodies)

    The number of participants who had treatment-emergent or follow-up emergent anti-LY2127399 antibodies [anti-drug antibodies (ADA)] is reported. Treatment-emergent was defined as participants who had any sample from baseline through Week 52 that was a 4-fold increase (2 dilution increase) in immunogenicity titer over the baseline titer, or participants who tested negative at baseline and positive post-baseline (at titer of ≥1:20). Follow-up emergent was defined as any sample during follow-up that was a 4-fold increase (2 dilution increase) in immunogenicity titer over the baseline titer. The number of participants with baseline positive ADA data is also reported. Baseline was defined as the last measurement prior to randomization to any treatment in either Study H9B-MC-BCDG (NCT00689728) or Study H9B-MC-BCDH (NCT00785928).

    Measured: Baseline through Week 52 (up to 48 weeks of treatment or ED and follow-up through Week 52) and post-study treatment follow-up (start of Week 53 or ED up to and through Week 112)

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 3 inclusion and 3 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 25 Apr 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 62 sites in United States, Poland, Mexico, Brazil, Hungary and 9 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. 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 25 Apr 2018). 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?

Number of Participants Who Had Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) (time frame: Baseline through Week 52 (up to 48 weeks of treatment or ED and follow-up through Week 52)). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT00837811, 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.
