简要总结

Researchers are looking for new ways to treat rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methotrexate (MTX) is a standard (usual) treatment for RA. However, MTX and other current treatments may not work well to treat RA symptoms for many people.

This study will help find out if a study medicine called tulisokibart can treat symptoms of active RA in people who are taking MTX. In this study, researchers will look at different doses of tulisokibart.

Researchers want to learn if at least one of the study doses of tulisokibart works better than a placebo to lessen RA symptoms. A placebo looks like the study medicine but has no study medicine in it. Using a placebo helps researchers better understand the effects of the study medicine.

详细描述

This study consists of a 12-week Placebo-controlled Period and a 116-week Long-term Extension (LTE), which is composed of a 44-week Main Extension and an 72-week Optional Extension

入选标准

  • The main inclusion criteria include but are not limited to the following:
  • Has a clinical diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and fulfillment of 2010 American College of Rheumatology (ACR)/European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) classification criteria

  • Has any arthritis with onset before age 17 years or current diagnosis of inflammatory joint disease other than RA (such as, but not limited to, psoriatic arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, gout, systemic sclerosis, myositis, pseudogout, etc) or any other condition that may, in the judgment of the investigator, interfere with the assessment of RA
  • Has a history of cancer (except fully treated nonmelanoma skin cancers or cervical carcinoma in situ after complete surgical removal) and is disease free for <5 years before randomization
  • Has any active infection
  • Has known allergies, hypersensitivity, or intolerance to tulisokibart or its excipients

结局指标

主要结局

Proportion of Participants Achieving American College of Rheumatology 20% Response Criteria (ACR20) at Week 12

时间窗: Week 12

The ACR20 response is a composite measure to evaluate disease activity in RA. ACR20 response is defined as a ≥20% improvement in: a) swollen joint count (66 joints) and tender joint count (68 joints) (0= Absent; 1= Present) and b) ≥20% improvement in ≥3 of the following 5 assessments and questionnaires: i) Health Assessment Questionnaire Disability Index (HAQ-DI) (0=without any difficulty; 3= unable to do) a higher score=worse disability, ii) Physician Global Assessment of Disease Activity (PGA) (0= not active to 10= very active) a higher score= more active disease; iii) Patient's Global Assessment of Disease Activity (PtGA) (0= not active to 10= very active) a higher score= more active disease; iv) Patient assessment of Pain Severity (0= no pain to 10= most severe pain) a higher score = more pain; v) High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) serum values, a lower value indicates less inflammation. The proportion of participants with ACR20 response at Week 12 will be presented.

次要结局

  • Number of Participants Who Experience One or More Adverse Events (AEs)(Up to approximately Week 142)
  • Proportion of Participants Achieving American College of Rheumatology 50% Response Criteria (ACR50) at Week 12(Week 12)
  • Proportion of Participants Achieving American College of Rheumatology 70% Response Criteria (ACR70) at Week 12(Week 12)
  • Proportion of Participants Achieving Low Disease Activity (LDA) based on Disease Activity Score 28 Using C-Reactive Protein (DAS28-CRP)(Week 12)
  • Change From Baseline in the Health Assessment Questionnaire Disability Index (HAQ-DI) Score at Week 12(Baseline and Week 12)
  • Number of Participants Who Discontinue Study Intervention Due to an AE(Up to approximately Week 128)

Merck's Tulisokibart Becomes First Anti-TL1A Biologic to Achieve Phase 3 Clinical Remission in Ulcerative Colitis- Merck announced positive topline results from the Phase 3 ATLAS-UC induction-only study (Study 2) evaluating tulisokibart in patients with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis. - Tulisokibart is the first anti-TL1A monoclonal antibody to demonstrate clinical remission at 12 weeks in a Phase 3 trial, meeting both primary and key secondary endpoints. - The investigational drug targets TL1A, a novel target associated with immuno-fibrosis, addressing both intestinal inflammation and fibrosis in inflammatory bowel disease. - Tulisokibart has the broadest development program in the anti-TL1A class, with ongoing studies across seven disease indications including Crohn's disease and multiple autoimmune conditions.2 months agoMerck Expands Tulisokibart Clinical Program with Three New Phase 2b Trials Across Immune-Mediated Inflammatory Diseases- Merck has initiated three Phase 2b trials evaluating tulisokibart, an anti-TL1A monoclonal antibody, in hidradenitis suppurativa, radiographic axial spondyloarthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis. - The expansion brings tulisokibart's clinical development program to six diseases, with ongoing Phase 3 studies in ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease already underway. - Global recruitment has begun targeting enrollment of more than 640 patients across the three new studies, reflecting Merck's commitment to addressing immune-mediated inflammatory diseases. - Tulisokibart targets the novel TL1A cytokine pathway and may help reduce intestinal fibrosis, potentially altering disease progression in inflammatory conditions.11 months ago
