Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Patients suffering from rheumatoid arthritis eligible for biologic therapy, for whom the rheumatologist envisages anyone of anti-TNFα, will be included in this study. As the study should not modify patient care, it is not authorized to prescribe study biologics if other biologic is considered for a given patient or if a given patient is not eligible for study biologic treatment.

Who may be able to join

  • Patient with a confirmed Rheumatoid Arthritis according the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) classification criteria (Arnett FC, 1988, Arthritis Rheum)
  • Patient with a DAS28 index greater than 3.2.
  • Patient eligible for treatment with an anti-TNFα agent (any one of Remicade®, Humira®, Enbrel®, Simponi®, Cimzia®, Remsima®/Inflectra®, Benepali® and Flixabi® according to the "Summary of Product Characteristics" for each product) and Methotrexate combination therapy,
  • Patient refractory to treatment with at least one classical DMARDs (one of which has to be MTX) prescribed according to the international recommendations, i.e. for at least 12 weeks at the maximal tolerated dose prior to anti-TNFα treatment and with doses which must have been kept stable during the 4 weeks preceding the initiation of the anti-TNFα therapy. In case of Leflunomide treatment, patients may be included in the study after a period of at least 3 months of Leflunomide stop, or after a washout by cholestyramine for at least 11 days.
  • Use of oral steroids (≤ 10 mg/day of prednisone or equivalent dose of another molecule) and/or NSAIDs will be permitted; doses must have been kept stable during the 4 weeks preceding the initiation of the anti-TNFα therapy
  • Patient (male or female) at 18 years of age or older at inclusion,
  • Negative β-HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin) pregnancy test, when appropriate, according to the patient's age and contraceptive method.
  • Written Informed consent signed from the patient.

Who cannot join

  • Patient having received previously any anti-TNFα biologic therapy or any molecule in development belonging to anti-TNFα class. Patients having received other biologics (such as anti-CD20, anti-CTLA4, IL1 blockers, IL6 blockers and other molecules in development) can be included in the study after a period of at least 6 months,
  • Patient non eligible to anti-TNFα according to the SmPC (Summary of Products),
  • Patient on anti-TNFα monotherapy without methotrexate,
  • Patient with clinically significant, severe and uncontrolled infectious diseases,
  • Patient with symptoms of a significant somatic or psychiatric/mental illness,
  • Patient with other auto-immune diseases (i.e. Inflammatory Bowel Diseases, Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, vasculitis, uncontrolled asthma, etc.),
Show all 11Show fewer
  • Patient with evidence of cardiac, pulmonary, metabolic, renal, hepatic, gastro-intestinal conditions, which, in the opinion of the Investigator, may interfere with the study,
  • Cancer,
  • Pregnancy,
  • Nursing mothers,
  • Patient who is participating in a clinical trial of other biologics or for whom a period of exclusion has been defined

About this study

Official title: Proof-of-Performance Study of RABIOPRED Assay as an In Vitro Diagnostic Test to Identify Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis Who Are Unlikely to Show Response to 1st Treatment With Anti-TNFα and Methotrexate Combination.

RABIOPRED is an in vitro non-invasive blood test, which aims to identify patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who are not likely to respond to anti-TNFα and methotrexate combination therapy.

Read the detailed description

Multi-centre, non-interventional, open-label, non-comparative, prospective cohort study with a clinical follow-up between (a) 12 and 14 weeks and (b) 22 and 24 weeks.

The RABIOPRED test is indicated for use in patients:

  • 18 years of age or older,
  • Eligible for a first line biologic therapy with anti-TNF alpha. The RABIOPRED test is indicated for use by rheumatologists as a biological basis for guiding anti-TNF alpha treatment prior to its initiation.

What is being measured

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

  1. EULAR response criteria

    Performance of RABIOPRED test to predict treatment response of anti-TNFα agents based on the EULAR (EUropean League Against Rheumatism) response criteria at 13th week (+/- 7 days) compared with baseline.

    Measured: 13th week (+/- 7 days)

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. ACR response criteria

    Performance of RABIOPRED test to predict treatment response of anti-TNFα agents based on ACR (American College of Rheumatology) response criteria at 13th week (+/- 7 days) compared with baseline.

    Measured: 13th week (+/- 7 days)

  2. EULAR response criteria

    Performance of RABIOPRED test to predict treatment response of anti-TNFα agents based on the EULAR (EUropean League Against Rheumatism) response criteria at 23rd week (+/- 7 days) or at the time of treatment switch (whichever comes first) compared with baseline.

    Measured: 23rd week (+/- 7 days) or at the time of treatment switch

  3. SDAI (Simplified Disease Activity Index) score

    Performance of RABIOPRED test to predict treatment response of anti-TNFα agents based on achieving Low Disease Activity (LDA) according to SDAI score at 23rd week (+/- 7 days) or at the time of treatment switch (whichever comes first) compared with baseline.

    Measured: 23rd week (+/- 7 days) or at the time of treatment switch

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of RheumatoId Arthritis, run by TcLand Expression S.A. at 8 sites in 5 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 8 inclusion and 11 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 24 Dec 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 sites in France, Turkey (Türkiye), Czechia, Israel, Netherlands. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early. Results are not available in the source record.

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?

EULAR response criteria (time frame: 13th week (+/- 7 days)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 Dec 2019.
