简要总结
This study was a Multicenter, Randomized, Blinded Study Comparing the Effect of CRx-102 Plus DMARD Therapy to that of Placebo Plus DMARD Therapy on Serum C Reactive Protein (CRP) and Cytokines in Subjects with Rheumatoid Arthritis. This Phase II, 6-week blinded study was planned for 60 subjects with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
详细描述
The primary objective of this study was to:
• Compare the response of CRx-102 plus DMARD therapy to placebo plus DMARD therapy in lowering CRP levels in rheumatoid arthritis subjects.
The secondary objectives of this study were to:
- Evaluate the changes in inflammatory cytokines in subjects treated with CRx-102 plus DMARD therapy to placebo plus DMARD therapy.
- Evaluate the efficacy of CRx-102 plus DMARD therapy to placebo plus DMARD therapy using ACR-20 and DAS28 indices as well as fatigue scales.

结局指标
主要结局
Change in CRP From Baseline to Day 42
时间窗: Baseline and Day 42
The primary efficacy variable in this study was the change in CRP from Baseline (Day 1/Visit 2) to End of Study (Day 42/Visit 5). Blood samples for the analysis of serum CRP were taken at each visit.
次要结局
- Improvement of ACR 20 Scores at End of Study (Day 42/Visit 5)(Day 42)
- Change in DAS28 Score From Baseline to Day 42(Baseline and Day 42)
- Change in Fatigue (MAF Scale) Score From Baseline to Day 42(Baseline and Day 42)
