About this study

Official title: An Open-label, Single-arm Extension Study to Evaluate the Long-term Safety and Efficacy of ABP 501 in Subjects With Moderate to Severe Rheumatoid Arthritis

The purpose of this open-label study is to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of ABP 501 in adults with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

Being tested

Keywords

Medical subject headings

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • ABP 501Biological

    Also called AMJEVITA™, Adalimumab-atto

    Solution for subcutaneous injection in a syringe containing 40 mg/0.8 mL ABP 501

Study groups in NCT02114931
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
ABP 501ExperimentalParticipants received ABP 501 40 mg subcutaneously (SC) every other week for up to 18 months.
Receives: Biological: ABP 501

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Adverse Events

    Adverse events (AEs) were graded for severity according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.03 according to the following scale:

    1 = mild; 2 = moderate; 3 = severe; 4 = life-threatening; 5 = fatal. A treatment-related AE is defined as an event where the answer to the question "is there a reasonable possibility that the event may have been caused by the Investigational Medicinal Product" was yes.

    A serious adverse event is defined as an AE that meets at least 1 of the following serious criteria:

    • fatal
    • life threatening (places the subject at immediate risk of death)
    • requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization
    • results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity
    • congenital anomaly/birth defect
    • other medically important serious event.

    Measured: From the first dose of study drug in the extension study to 28 days following the last dose; 72 weeks

  2. Number of Participants With Grade ≥ 3 Hematology and Chemistry Laboratory Results

    Laboratory results were graded according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.03 according to the following scale:

    1 = mild; 2 = moderate; 3 = severe; 4 = life-threatening; 5 = fatal.

    Measured: From the first dose of study drug in the extension study to 28 days following the last dose; 72 weeks

  3. Percentage of Participants Who Developed Antibodies to ABP 501

    Two validated assays were used to detect the presence of anti-drug antibodies. All samples were first tested in an electrochemiluminescence (ECL)-based bridging immunoassay to detect anti-drug antibodies against ABP 501 (Binding Antibody Assay). Samples confirmed to be positive for binding antibodies were subsequently tested in a non-cell based bioassay to determine neutralizing activity against ABP 501. If a sample was positive for binding antibodies and demonstrated neutralizing activity at the same time point, the sample was defined as positive for neutralizing antibodies.

    Preexisting antibody positive indicates participants with a positive result at baseline of the extension study. Developing antibody positive indicates participants with a negative or no result at baseline of the extension study who were positive at any time point post-baseline during the extension study.

    Measured: Up to week 72

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Percentage of Participants With an American College of Rheumatology (ACR) 20 Response

    A participant was a responder if the following 3 criteria for improvement from Baseline of the parent study were met:

    • ≥ 20% improvement in tender joint count;
    • ≥ 20% improvement in swollen joint count; and
    • ≥ 20% improvement in at least 3 of the 5 following parameters:
    • Patient's assessment of pain (measured on a 100 mm visual analog scale [VAS]);
    • Patient's global assessment of disease activity (measured on a likert scale from 0 to 10);
    • Physician's global assessment of disease activity (measured on a likert scale from 0 to 10);
    • Patient's self-assessment of physical function (Health Assessment Questionnaire - Disability Index [HAQ-DI]);
    • C-Reactive Protein level.

    Measured: Parent study baseline, extension study baseline and weeks 4, 24, 48, and 70

  2. Change From Parent Study Baseline in Disease Activity Score 28-C-reactive Protein (DAS28-CRP)

    The DAS28-CRP is a composite score to measure disease activity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, derived from the following variables:

    • The number of swollen and tender joints assessed using the 28-joint count;
    • C-reactive protein (CRP) level
    • Patient's global assessment of disease activity assessed on a score from 0 to 100 transformed from the result measured on a horizontal scale from 0 (no RA activity at all) to 10 (worst RA activity imaginable).

    The DAS28-CRP score ranges from approximately zero to ten. Higher DAS28-CRP scores indicate higher disease activity.

    Measured: Parent study baseline, extension study baseline and weeks 4, 24, 48 and 70

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing ABP 501 in people with Arthritis, Rheumatoid, run by Amgen at 77 sites in 11 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 1 inclusion and 4 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 24 Apr 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 77 sites in United States, Poland, Czechia, Hungary, Bulgaria and 6 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 24 Apr 2017). 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 With Adverse Events (time frame: From the first dose of study drug in the extension study to 28 days following the last dose; 72 weeks). The study lists 3 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 NCT02114931, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 24 Apr 2017.
