About this study

Official title: Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Dose Ranging Study With an Active Comparator to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of CDP6038 Administered Subcutaneously for 12 Weeks to Subjects With Rheumatoid Arthritis Having Previously Failed TNF-blocker Therapy

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, efficacy, pharmacokinetics, and immunogenicity of CDP6038 treatment in adult subjects with active rheumatoid arthritis who have had an inadequate response to anti-tumor necrosis factor (anti-TNF) therapy.

Read the detailed description

CDP6038 is a protein (antibody) that blocks interleukin-6 (IL-6), a substance involved in the inflammation associated with rheumatoid arthritis. This is a multicenter, 12-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo- and active- controlled study comparing several doses and dosage regimens (every 2 weeks and every 4 weeks) of CDP6038 to placebo and tocilizumab in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis who have had an unsuccessful response to methotrexate and previous anti-TNF therapy. The study will test if CDP6038 is more efficacious than placebo in reducing the signs and symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis at 12 weeks while maintaining an adequate safety profile. In order to maintain the study blinding all subjects will be given a subcutaneous (sc) injection (under the skin) every 2 weeks, as well as an intravenous (iv) infusion every 4 weeks. In addition subjects must remain on stable weekly doses of methotrexate. Assessments during the study include evaluations of joint pain and swelling, laboratory blood and urine tests, physical examinations, vital signs, electrocardiograms, and questionnaires. Subjects who complete the 12-week study will be eligible to enroll in a long-term extension study receiving CDP6038.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 12

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. American College of Rheumatology 20% response (ACR20) rates for the CDP6038 and placebo arms.

    Measured: From Baseline to Week 12

  2. American College of Rheumatology 50% response (ACR50) rates for the CDP6038 and placebo arms.

    Measured: From Baseline to Week 12

  3. American College of Rheumatology 70% response (ACR70) rates for the CDP6038 and placebo arms.

    Measured: From Baseline to Week 12

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing CDP6038 and Tocilizumab (Actemra or RoActemra) in people with Rheumatoid Arthritis, run by UCB Pharma at 82 sites in 3 countries.

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 5 inclusion and 10 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 17 Jul 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 82 sites in United States, United Kingdom, Belgium. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Change from Baseline in the Disease Activity Score (C-reactive protein) [DAS28(CRP)] for CDP6038 and placebo (time frame: Baseline, 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 NCT01242488, 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 17 Jul 2024.
