About this study
Official title: A Phase 3, Randomized, Double-Blind, Study Comparing Upadacitinib (ABT-494) to Placebo and to Adalimumab in Subjects With Active Psoriatic Arthritis Who Have a History of Inadequate Response to at Least One Non-Biologic Disease Modifying Anti-Rheumatic Drug (DMARD) - SELECT - PsA 1
This study includes two periods. The main objective of Period 1 is to compare the efficacy of upadacitinib 15 mg once daily (QD) and 30 mg QD versus placebo and versus adalimumab (Humira®) in participants with moderately to severely active psoriatic arthritis (PsA) who have had an inadequate response to non-biologic DMARDs (DMARD-IR). Period 1 is also designed to compare the efficacy of upadacitinib 15 mg and 30 mg QD versus placebo for the prevention of structural progression.
The objective of Period 2 is to evaluate the long-term safety, tolerability and efficacy of upadacitinib 15 mg and 30 mg QD in participants who have completed Period 1.
Read the detailed description
The study includes a 35-day screening period, a 56-week blinded period (Period 1), a long-term extension period of up to a total treatment duration of approximately 5 years (Period 2), a 30-day follow-up call or visit, and a 70-day follow-up call.
Period 1 includes 24 weeks of randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled and active comparator-controlled treatment followed by 32 weeks of active comparator-controlled upadacitinib; at Week 24 participants assigned to placebo will be switched to upadacitinib according to their randomization assignment.
Participants who meet eligibility criteria will be randomized in a 2:2:2:1:1 ratio to one of five treatment groups:
- Group 1: Upadacitinib 15 mg QD
- Group 2: Upadacitinib 30 mg QD
- Group 3: Adalimumab 40 mg every other week (EOW)
- Group 4: Placebo followed by upadacitinib 15 mg QD
- Group 5: Placebo followed by upadacitinib 30 mg QD
Randomization will be stratified by extent of psoriasis (≥ 3% body surface area [BSA] or < 3% BSA), current use of at least 1 non-biologic DMARD, presence of dactylitis, and presence of enthesitis, except for participants from China and Japan, where randomization for each country will be stratified by extent of psoriasis (≥ 3% BSA or < 3% BSA) only.
Participants who complete the Week 56 visit (end of Period 1) will enter the long-term extension portion of the study, Period 2 (total treatment up to approximately 5 years), and continue study treatment as assigned in Period 1 in a blinded manner until the last subject completes the last visit of Period 1 (Week 56), when study drug assignment in both periods will be unblinded and participants will be dispensed study drug in an open-label fashion until the completion of Period 2.
At Week 16, rescue therapy will be offered to participants classified as non-responders (defined as not achieving at least 20% improvement in tender joint count (TJC) and / or swollen joint count (SJC) at both Week 12 and Week 16). Starting at Week 36, participants who fail to demonstrate at least 20% improvement in either or both TJC and SJC compared to Baseline at 2 consecutive visits will be discontinued from study drug treatment. Additionally, in participants continuing on study drug, starting at the Week 36 visit, initiation of or change in background PsA medication(s) is allowed as per local label.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Percentage of Participants With an American College of Rheumatology 20% (ACR20) Response at Week 12
Participants who met the following 3 conditions for improvement from Baseline were classified as meeting the ACR20 response criteria:
- ≥ 20% improvement in 68-tender joint count;
- ≥ 20% improvement in 66-swollen joint count; and
- ≥ 20% improvement in at least 3 of the 5 following parameters:
- Physician global assessment of disease activity
- Patient global assessment of disease activity
- Patient assessment of pain
- Health Assessment Questionnaire - Disability Index (HAQ-DI)
- High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP).
Measured: Baseline and Week 12
Secondary outcomes (17)
Change From Baseline in Health Assessment Questionnaire Disability Index (HAQ-DI) at Week 12
The Health Assessment Questionnaire - Disability Index is a patient-reported questionnaire that measures the degree of difficulty a person has in accomplishing tasks in 8 functional areas (dressing, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reaching, gripping, and errands and chores) over the past week. Participants assessed their ability to do each task on a scale from 0 (without any difficulty) to 3 (unable to do). Scores were averaged to provide an overall score ranging from 0 to 3, where 0 represents no disability and 3 represents very severe, high-dependency disability.
A negative change from Baseline in the overall score indicates improvement.
Measured: Baseline and Week 12
Percentage of Participants Achieving a Static Investigator Global Assessment (sIGA) of Psoriasis of 0 or 1 and at Least a 2-point Improvement From Baseline (sIGA 0/1) at Week 16
The sIGA is a 5 point scale ranging from 0 to 4, based on the investigator's assessment of the average elevation, erythema, and scaling of all psoriatic lesions at the current visit. A lower score indicates less severe psoriasis (0 = clear, 1 = almost clear, 2 = mild, 3 = moderate and 4 = severe).
Measured: Baseline and Week 16
Percentage of Participants Achieving Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI) 75 Response at Week 16
PASI is a composite score based on the percentage of the body surface area (BSA) affected by psoriasis and the intensity of erythema (reddening), induration (thickening or hardening of the skin), and desquamation (peeling of the skin) of lesions assessed at 4 anatomic sites (head, upper extremities, trunk, and lower extremities). At each location, the percentage of BSA involvement is assigned a score from 0 (no involvement) to 6 (90% to 100% involvement), and erythema, induration, and desquamation are scored on a scale from 0 (no symptoms) to 4 (very marked).
The PASI score ranges from 0 (no psoriasis) to 72 (very severe psoriasis). A PASI-75 response is the percentage of participants who achieved at least a 75% reduction (improvement) from Baseline in PASI score, and was assessed in participants with Baseline psoriasis BSA involvement ≥ 3%.
Measured: Baseline and Week 16
Change From Baseline in Modified PsA Total Sharp/Van Der Heijde Score (mTSS) at Week 24
The Sharp-van der Heijde modified scoring method for PsA measures the level of joint damage from radiographs of the hands and feet, and was assessed by 2 independent, blinded readers.
Joint erosion severity was assessed in 20 joints in each hand and wrist and 6 joints in each foot. Each joint was scored from 0 (no erosion) to 5 for hands/wrists or to 10 for feet (complete collapse). The total erosion score ranges from 0 to 320 (worst).
Joint space narrowing (JSN) was assessed in 20 joints of each hand and wrist, and 6 joints of each foot, from 0 (normal) to 4 (complete loss of joint space, bony ankylosis, or luxation). The total JSN score ranges from 0 to 208 (worst).
Joints with gross osteolysis or pencil in cup were assigned the maximum score for both erosions and JSN.
The total mTSS score is the sum of the joint erosion and JSN scores and ranges from 0 (normal) to 528 (worst). A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement in joint damage.
Measured: Baseline and Week 24
Percentage of Participants Achieving Minimal Disease Activity (MDA) at Week 24
A participant was classified as achieving MDA if 5 of the following 7 criteria were met:
- Tender joint count (out of 68 joints) ≤ 1
- Swollen joint count (out of 66 joints) ≤ 1
- PASI score ≤ 1 (score ranges from 0 - 72) or percent BSA involved with psoriasis ≤ 3%
- Patient's assessment of pain ≤ 1.5 (NRS from 0 to 10)
- Patient's Global Assessment of disease activity ≤ 2 (NRS from 0 to 10)
- HAQ-DI score ≤ 0.5 (index score ranges from 0 to 3)
- Leeds Enthesitis Index ≤ 1 (assesses the presence or absence of enthesitis at 3 bilateral sites, with an overall score range from 0 to 6)
Measured: Week 24
Percentage of Participants With Resolution of Enthesitis at Week 24
Resolution of enthesitis is defined as a Leeds Enthesitis Index (LEI) score = 0.
LEI is an enthesitis measure developed specifically for PsA and assesses the presence or absence of tenderness at the following 3 bilateral enthesial sites: medial femoral condyles, lateral epicondyles of the humerus, and Achilles tendon insertions. Tenderness on examination is recorded as either present (coded as 1), absent (coded as 0), or not assessed for each of the 6 sites. The LEI is calculated by taking the sum of the scores from the 6 sites. The LEI ranges from 0 to 6 (worst).
Measured: Week 24
Percentage of Participants With an ACR20 Response at Week 12 - Non-inferiority Versus Adalimumab
Participants who met the following 3 conditions for improvement from Baseline were classified as meeting the ACR20 response criteria:
- ≥ 20% improvement in 68-tender joint count;
- ≥ 20% improvement in 66-swollen joint count; and
- ≥ 20% improvement in at least 3 of the 5 following parameters:
- Physician global assessment of disease activity
- Patient global assessment of disease activity
- Patient assessment of pain
- Health Assessment Questionnaire - Disability Index (HAQ-DI)
- High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP).
Measured: Baseline and Week 12
Change From Baseline in Short-Form 36 (SF-36) Physical Component Score (PCS) at Week 12
The Short Form 36-Item Health Survey (SF-36) Version 2 is a self-administered questionnaire that measures the impact of disease on overall quality of life during the past 4 weeks. The SF-36 consists of 36 questions in eight domains (physical function, pain, general and mental health, vitality, social function, physical and emotional health).
The physical component score is a weighted combination of the 8 subscales with positive weighting for physical functioning, role-physical, bodily pain, and general health. The PCS was calculated using norm-based scoring so that 50 is the average score and the standard deviation equals 10. Higher scores are associated with better functioning/quality of life; a positive change from Baseline score indicates an improvement.
Measured: Baseline and Week 12
Change From Baseline in Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue (FACIT-F) Score at Week 12
The FACIT-Fatigue questionnaire is a self-administered patient questionnaire that consists of 13 questions designed to measure the degree of fatigue experienced by participants in the previous 7 days, including physical fatigue (e.g., I feel tired), functional fatigue (e.g., trouble finishing things), emotional fatigue (e.g., frustration), and social consequences of fatigue (e.g., limits social activity). Participants respond to the questions on a scale from 0 'not at all' to 4 'very much'. The FACIT Fatigue score is computed by summing the item scores, after reversing those items that are worded in the negative direction. The FACIT-Fatigue subscale score ranges from 0 to 52, where higher scores represent less fatigue. A positive change from Baseline indicates improvement.
Measured: Baseline and Week 12
Percentage of Participants With an ACR20 Response at Week 12 - Superiority Versus Adalimumab
Participants who met the following 3 conditions for improvement from Baseline were classified as meeting the ACR20 response criteria:
- ≥ 20% improvement in 68-tender joint count;
- ≥ 20% improvement in 66-swollen joint count; and
- ≥ 20% improvement in at least 3 of the 5 following parameters:
- Physician global assessment of disease activity
- Patient global assessment of disease activity
- Patient assessment of pain
- Health Assessment Questionnaire - Disability Index (HAQ-DI)
- High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP).
Measured: Baseline and Week 12
Percentage of Participants With Resolution of Dactylitis at Week 24
Resolution of dactylitis is defined as a Leeds Dactylitis Index (LDI) score = 0.
The Leeds Dactylitis Index (LDI) is a score based on finger circumference and tenderness, assessed and summed across all dactylitic digits (fingers and toes). The presence of a dactylitic digit is defined as at least one affected AND tender digit with circumference increase over reference digit ≥ 10%. The reference digit circumference is either the contralateral digit (unaffected digit on opposite hand or foot) if available, or from a standard reference table if otherwise. Tenderness of affected digits is assessed on a scale from 0 [none] to 3 [worst].
The ratio of circumference between an affected digit and reference digit is multiplied by the tenderness score for each affected digit. The results from each involved digit are summed to provide the final LDI. A higher LDI indicates worse dactylitis.
Measured: Week 24
Change From Baseline in Patient's Assessment of Pain - Superiority Versus Adalimumab
Participants were asked to indicate the severity of their arthritis pain within the previous week on a numerical rating scale (NRS) from 0 to 10. A score of 0 indicates "no pain" and a score of 10 indicates "worst possible pain." A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement.
Measured: Baseline and Week 12
Change From Baseline in HAQ-DI - Superiority Versus Adalimumab
The Health Assessment Questionnaire - Disability Index is a patient-reported questionnaire that measures the degree of difficulty a person has in accomplishing tasks in 8 functional areas (dressing, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reaching, gripping, and errands and chores) over the past week. Participants assessed their ability to do each task on a scale from 0 (without any difficulty) to 3 (unable to do). Scores were averaged to provide an overall score ranging from 0 to 3, where 0 represents no disability and 3 represents very severe, high-dependency disability.
A negative change from Baseline in the overall score indicates improvement.
Measured: Baseline and Week 12
Change From Baseline in Self-Assessment of Psoriasis Symptoms (SAPS) Questionnaire at Week 16
The SAPS is an 11-item self-assessment of psoriasis symptoms that includes questions on: pain, itching, redness, scaling, flaking, bleeding, burning, stinging, tenderness, pain due to skin cracking, and joint pain. Each item is scored from 0 to 10, with 0 being least severe and 10 being most severe. The total score is generated by summing the 11 items and ranges from 0 to 110 (worst). A negative change from Baseline in the total score indicates improvement.
Measured: Baseline and Week 16

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
This study includes two periods. The main objective of Period 1 is to compare the efficacy of upadacitinib 15 mg once daily (QD) and 30 mg QD versus placebo and versus adalimumab (Humira®) in participants with moderately to severely active psoriatic arthritis (PsA) who have had an inadequate response to non-biologic DMARDs (DMARD-IR). Period 1 is also designed to compare the efficacy of upadacitinib 15 mg and 30 mg QD versus placebo for the prevention of structural progression.
The objective of Period 2 is to evaluate the long-term safety, tolerability and efficacy of upadacitinib 15 mg and 30 mg QD in participants who have completed Period 1.
Detailed description
The study includes a 35-day screening period, a 56-week blinded period (Period 1), a long-term extension period of up to a total treatment duration of approximately 5 years (Period 2), a 30-day follow-up call or visit, and a 70-day follow-up call.
Period 1 includes 24 weeks of randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled and active comparator-controlled treatment followed by 32 weeks of active comparator-controlled upadacitinib; at Week 24 participants assigned to placebo will be switched to upadacitinib according to their randomization assignment.
Participants who meet eligibility criteria will be randomized in a 2:2:2:1:1 ratio to one of five treatment groups:
- Group 1: Upadacitinib 15 mg QD
- Group 2: Upadacitinib 30 mg QD
- Group 3: Adalimumab 40 mg every other week (EOW)
- Group 4: Placebo followed by upadacitinib 15 mg QD
- Group 5: Placebo followed by upadacitinib 30 mg QD
Randomization will be stratified by extent of psoriasis (≥ 3% body surface area [BSA] or < 3% BSA), current use of at least 1 non-biologic DMARD, presence of dactylitis, and presence of enthesitis, except for participants from China and Japan, where randomization for each country will be stratified by extent of psoriasis (≥ 3% BSA or < 3% BSA) only.
Participants who complete the Week 56 visit (end of Period 1) will enter the long-term extension portion of the study, Period 2 (total treatment up to approximately 5 years), and continue study treatment as assigned in Period 1 in a blinded manner until the last subject completes the last visit of Period 1 (Week 56), when study drug assignment in both periods will be unblinded and participants will be dispensed study drug in an open-label fashion until the completion of Period 2.
At Week 16, rescue therapy will be offered to participants classified as non-responders (defined as not achieving at least 20% improvement in tender joint count (TJC) and / or swollen joint count (SJC) at both Week 12 and Week 16). Starting at Week 36, participants who fail to demonstrate at least 20% improvement in either or both TJC and SJC compared to Baseline at 2 consecutive visits will be discontinued from study drug treatment. Additionally, in participants continuing on study drug, starting at the Week 36 visit, initiation of or change in background PsA medication(s) is allowed as per local label.

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 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 25 Jan 2022). 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?
Percentage of Participants With an American College of Rheumatology 20% (ACR20) Response at Week 12 (time frame: Baseline and 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 NCT03104400, which also lists 16 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 22 Sep 2025.
