About this study
Official title: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of ABBV-154 in Subjects With Moderately to Severely Active Rheumatoid Arthritis With Inadequate Response to Biologic and/or Targeted Synthetic Disease-Modifying Anti-Rheumatic Drugs (b/tsDMARDs)
Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is an inflammatory disease of the joints causing pain, stiffness, swelling and loss of joint function. This study evaluated how safe and effective ABBV-154 is in participants treated for moderately to severely active RA. Adverse events and change in the disease activity were assessed.
ABBV-154 is an investigational drug being evaluated for the treatment of RA. Study doctors placed the participants in 1 of 5 treatment groups or arms; each arm received a different treatment. There was a 1 in 5 chance that participants were assigned to placebo. Participants 18-75 years of age with moderate to severe RA were enrolled. Around 425 participants were to be enrolled in the study at approximately 270 sites worldwide.

The study was comprised of a 12 week placebo-controlled period, a double-blind long term extension (LTE) period 1 of 66 weeks, a LTE period 2 of 104 weeks and a follow-up visit 70 days after the last dose of the study drug. In the LTE period 1, participants in the placebo group were re-randomized to receive ABBV-154 at 1 of 2 different doses SC every other week (EOW). Other participants remained on their previous dose and dosing regimen of ABBV-154.
There may have been a higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants attended regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment was checked by medical assessments, blood tests, and side effects, and completing questionnaires.
Read the detailed description
Participants were randomly assigned at a ratio of 1:1:1:1:1 to ABBV-154 at either 40 mg, 150 mg, 340 mg, subcutaneously (SC) EOW; 340 mg SC every 4 weeks (E4W); or placebo SC EOW. Randomization was stratified by baseline glucocorticoid (yes/no); number of prior failed biologic and/or targeted synthetic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (b/tsDMARDs) (1; 2 or more); and prior anti-TNF failure (yes/no) and if yes, further stratification by prior adalimumab use (yes/no).
After 12 weeks, participants receiving placebo were re-randomized to receive ABBV-154 150 mg SC EOW or 340 mg SC EOW for the long-term extension (LTE) periods. At re-randomization, participants were stratified by baseline glucocorticoid use (yes/no) and prior adalimumab use (yes/no). Participants from the other dose groups were to continue with their respective dose and dosing regimen.
The primary analysis was conducted after all ongoing participants completed Week 12 or withdrew from the study. A final analysis was to be conducted after all participants completed LTE period 2 and a safety follow-up visit or withdrew from the study. The study was terminated before any participants entered LTE Period 2.

Clinical Remission was defined by CDAI as a score less than or equal to 2.8. CDAI is a composite index for assessing disease activity based on the summation of the total tender joint count (out of 28 evaluated joints), swollen joint count (out of 28 evaluated joints), Patient's Global Assessment of Disease Activity (NRS), and Physician's Global Assessment of Disease Activity (NRS). The total CDAI score ranges from 0 to 76 with higher scores indicating higher disease activity.
Measured: Week 12
Change From Baseline in the Health Assessment Questionnaire Disability Index (HAQ-DI) to Week 12
The Health Assessment Questionnaire - Disability Index is a participant-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 to Week 12

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is an inflammatory disease of the joints causing pain, stiffness, swelling and loss of joint function. This study evaluated how safe and effective ABBV-154 is in participants treated for moderately to severely active RA. Adverse events and change in the disease activity were assessed.
ABBV-154 is an investigational drug being evaluated for the treatment of RA. Study doctors placed the participants in 1 of 5 treatment groups or arms; each arm received a different treatment. There was a 1 in 5 chance that participants were assigned to placebo. Participants 18-75 years of age with moderate to severe RA were enrolled. Around 425 participants were to be enrolled in the study at approximately 270 sites worldwide.
The study was comprised of a 12 week placebo-controlled period, a double-blind long term extension (LTE) period 1 of 66 weeks, a LTE period 2 of 104 weeks and a follow-up visit 70 days after the last dose of the study drug. In the LTE period 1, participants in the placebo group were re-randomized to receive ABBV-154 at 1 of 2 different doses SC every other week (EOW). Other participants remained on their previous dose and dosing regimen of ABBV-154.
There may have been a higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants attended regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment was checked by medical assessments, blood tests, and side effects, and completing questionnaires.
Detailed description
Participants were randomly assigned at a ratio of 1:1:1:1:1 to ABBV-154 at either 40 mg, 150 mg, 340 mg, subcutaneously (SC) EOW; 340 mg SC every 4 weeks (E4W); or placebo SC EOW. Randomization was stratified by baseline glucocorticoid (yes/no); number of prior failed biologic and/or targeted synthetic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (b/tsDMARDs) (1; 2 or more); and prior anti-TNF failure (yes/no) and if yes, further stratification by prior adalimumab use (yes/no).
After 12 weeks, participants receiving placebo were re-randomized to receive ABBV-154 150 mg SC EOW or 340 mg SC EOW for the long-term extension (LTE) periods. At re-randomization, participants were stratified by baseline glucocorticoid use (yes/no) and prior adalimumab use (yes/no). Participants from the other dose groups were to continue with their respective dose and dosing regimen.
The primary analysis was conducted after all ongoing participants completed Week 12 or withdrew from the study. A final analysis was to be conducted after all participants completed LTE period 2 and a safety follow-up visit or withdrew from the study. The study was terminated before any participants entered LTE Period 2.
