研究概览

简要总结

This is a study to compare the effect of infliximab versus placebo on synovial inflammation as measured by dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE)-MRI of one wrist. The primary hypothesis is that over 14 weeks of therapy, the change from baseline in the volume transfer rate in enhancing synovium is larger due to treatment with infliximab than with placebo.

  • Baseline MRI must show evidence of synovitis in the wrist
  • Must have screening laboratory tests within acceptable levels
  • Women of childbearing potential and all men must agree to use a medically accepted method of contraception prior to entering the study and continue throughout study up to 6 weeks after study completion
  • Must meet tuberculosis (TB) screening criteria
  • Have received methotrexate therapy for ≥ 3 months; dose must be stable for at least 8 weeks
  • If taking the a disease modifying anti-rheumatic drug (DMARD) in combination with methotrexate must be on a stable dose

结局指标

主要结局

Change From Baseline in the Volume Transfer Rate From the Blood Plasma to the Enhancing Synovium (Ktrans)

时间窗: Baseline and week 14

Dynamic Contrast Enhanced (DCE) Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) was performed on one hand at baseline, and then at treatment week 14 to measure the rate constant of transfer of contrast (Ktrans).

  • Percentage of Responders With a 50% Improvement From Baseline in American College of Rheumatology (ACR) Responder Criteria for Tender and Swollen Joints (ACR50).(Baseline and week 14)
  • Change From Baseline in Standardized Z-scores of Composite Endpoint Consisting of Clinical Disease Activity Measure DAS28 CRP + Ktrans.(Baseline and Week 14)
  • Change From Baseline in Standardized Z-scores of Composite Endpoint Consisting of Clinical Disease Activity Measure DAS28 CRP + Rheumatoid Arthritis MRI Score (RAMRIS) Synovitis + RAMRIS Osteitis.(Baseline and Week 14)
