Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: 1. Evaluate the safety and tolerability of UCB4940 as an add-on therapy to CZP and background conventional DMARDs compared to placebo plus CZP treatment and background conventional DMARDs 2. Evaluate the efficacy of UCB4940 as an add-on therapy to CZP and background conventional DMARDs compared to placebo plus CZP treatment and background conventional DMARDs at Week 20 ;Secondary Objective: Evaluate treatment with UCB4940 as add-on therapy to CZP and background conventional DMARDs compared to placebo plus CZP treatment and background conventional DMARDs with regard to disease activity of RA at different time points Evaluate the PK of multiple doses of UCB4940 in the presence of CZP Evaluate the PK of multiple doses of CZP in the presence of UCB4940 ;Primary end point(s): • Incidence of adverse events • Change from Baseline 2 in DAS28(CRP) ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: • Incidence of adverse events from screening (D-28) till final study visit (week 44) • Change from Baseline 2 in DAS28(CRP) - week 20 | — |
