Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of 2 oral dosing regimens of fostamatinib (Regimen A - 100 mg twice daily (bid); Regimen B - induction with 100 mg bid for the first 4 weeks, 150 mg once daily (qd) maintenance thereafter) taken in combination with methotrexate, compared with placebo plus methotrexate, in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who have had inadequate response to a single tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-a) antagonist.;Secondary Objective: The secondary objectives of the study are: •To further assess the efficacy of fostamatinib measured by ACR20, ACR 50% response criteria (ACR50), ACR 70% response criteria (ACR70), ACR-N and the individual components of the ACR score. •To assess physical function status of patients after administration of fostamatinib using the Health Assessment Questionnaire - Disability Index (HAQ-DI). •To evaluate the efficacy of fostamatinib as measured by Disease Activity Score based on a 28 joint count (DAS28) and DAS28 European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) response criteria. •To investigate the effects of fostamatinib on patient reported health outcomes measures. •To assess the efficacy of fostamatinib in the prevention of structural joint damage, as measured by change in radiographic modified total Sharp score (mTSS) and the components of mTSS at Week 24. ;Primary end point(s): The primary endpoint in this study is the proportion of patients achieving ACR20 at Week 24. This will be assessed for each dose regimen versus placebo. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Week 24 | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): - ACR20, ACR50, ACR70, major clinical response, ACR-N, individual components of ACR (swollen joint count, tender joint count, patient’s assessment of pain, patient’s global assessment of disease activity, physician’s global assessment of disease activity, patient’s assessment of physical function, as measured by the HAQ-DI, C-reactive protein [CRP] or erythrocyte sedimentation rate [ESR]) - HAQ-DI score; HAQ-DI response, individual dimensions of HAQ-DI - DAS28 response, DAS28 EULAR response criteria, DAS low disease activity, DAS28 remission, clinically important change in DAS28 score - mTSS, radiographic erosion score (ES) and joint space narrowing (JSN).;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Secondary timepoints are: Screening plus week 0-6, 12 and 24 For mTSS JSN (X-ray) timepoints Week 0, 12 and 24. | — |
