Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT02885181
Lead Sponsor
Gilead Sciences
Brief Summary

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of GS-9876 versus placebo for the treatment of signs and symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in participants with active RA as measured by change from baseline in Disease Activity Score for 28 joint count using C-reactive protein (CRP) (DAS28 (CRP)) at Week 12.

Exclusion Criteria
  • Prior treatment with B-cell depleting agents (eg, rituximab), unless more than 6 months prior to the first dose of study drug and documented return of CD19+ cells at screening
  • Prior treatment with any commercially available or investigational spleen tyrosine kinase (SYK) inhibitor
  • Concurrent treatment with any other conventional synthetic DMARD (csDMARD) other than MTX and/or hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) (prior csDMARD treatment allowed if appropriate wash out as defined in the protocol)
  • Concurrent treatment with any biological disease modifying anti-rheumatic drug (bDMARD)(prior bDMARD treatment allowed if appropriate wash out as defined in the protocol). Prior failure to treatment with bDMARDs is not an exclusion criterion.

Note: Other protocol defined Inclusion/ Exclusion criteria may apply.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change From Baseline in Disease Activity Score 28 C-Reactive Protein (DAS28 (CRP)) at Week 12Baseline; Week 12

Disease Activity Score 28 C-Reactive Protein (DAS28 (CRP)) is a measure of the participant's disease activity calculated using the tender joint counts (28 joints), swollen joint counts (28 joints), participant's global assessment of disease activity (visual analog scale: 0 = no disease activity to 100 = maximum disease activity) and C-Reactive Protein (CRP) for a total possible score of 1 to 9.4. Higher values indicate higher disease activity. A negative change from baseline indicates improvement.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Participants Who Achieved ACR50 Improvement at Week 12Week 12

ACR50 response was defined as having ≥ 50% improvement from baseline in the number of tender and the number of swollen joints, and a 50% improvement in at least 3 of the following 5 criteria: PhGA, PtGA, Participant's pain assessment, HAQ-DI score, and CRP.

Percentage of Participants Who Achieved ACR70 Improvement at Week 12Week 12

ACR70 response was defined as having ≥ 70% improvement from baseline in the number of tender and the number of swollen joints, and a 70% improvement in at least 3 of the following 5 criteria: PhGA, PtGA, Participant's pain assessment, HAQ-DI score, and CRP.

Change From Baseline in The Health Assessment Questionnaire - Disability Index (HAQ-DI) Score at Week 12Baseline; Week 12

The Health Assessment Questionnaire - Disability Index (HAQ-DI) is a self-reported tool used to assess the ability to perform tasks in 8 functional categories: dressing and grooming, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip, and common daily activities. Responses in each functional category were collected as 0 (without any difficulty) to 3 (unable to do a task in that area). The HAQ-DI score ranges from 0 (no disability) to 3 (completely disabled), when 6 or more categories are non-missing.

Percentage of Participants Who Achieved American College of Rheumatology (ACR)20 Improvement at Week 12Week 12

American College of Rheumatology (ACR)20 response was defined as having ≥ 20% improvement from baseline in the number of tender and the number of swollen joints, and a 20% improvement in at least 3 of the following 5 criteria: Physician's Global Assessment of Disease Activity (PhGA), Participant's Global Assessment of Disease Activity (PtGA), Participant's pain assessment, Participant's assessment of physical function (HAQ-DI) score, and C-reactive protein (CRP).
