MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of Participants With Anti-abatacept or Anti-CTLA4-T Responses (Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay [ELISA] Method) at Day 113 of the ST StudyDay 113ELISA is a validated, sensitive assay technique used to analyze presence of abatacept-specific antibodies in serum. For anti-abatacept antibody ELISA, a sample was considered seropositive if it had a titer of 400 or greater and if immunodepletion was observed. The responses that were negative in initial screen were reported as seronegative with a value of \< 400. A sample was considered positive in CTLA4-T antibody ELISA if it had a titer of 25 or greater and if immunodepletion was observed. The responses that were negative in initial screen were reported as seronegative with a value of \< 25.

Includes the data from start of study drug therapy up to 56 days after the last dose (Day 113) or start of the long-term period whichever occurred first.AEs: any new untoward medical occurrences/worsening of pre-existing medical condition, whether or not related to study drug. SAE: any AE that resulted in death; was life threatening; resulted in persistent/significant disability/incapacity; resulted in/prolonged an existing in-patient hospitalization; was a congenital anomaly/birth defect; or was an overdose. Participants who discontinued the study due to any AEs or SAEs were recorded.

Recruitment details

Short term (ST) Study results (2 arms) were released in 2010. Final long term extension (LTE) results (1 arm with pooled data), up to 2014, are now included. During the LTE Study, 125 mg abatacept, was continued to be self-administered weekly and adjustments to RA medications including MTX were permitted at investigators discretion.

Pre-assignment details

119 participants enrolled;100 treated in the ST Study. Reasons not treated: 17 no longer met criteria, 2 withdrew consent. 96 completed ST treatment but only 95 completed Primary endpoint evaluation. 90 enrolled in LTE Study. Reasons why participants did not enroll in LTE Study: 2 lack of efficacy, 2 had adverse events, 1 no longer met criteria.

Participants by arm

ArmCount
Subcutaneous (SC) Abatacept + Methotrexate (MTX) Cohort
In the ST period, participants were administered a dose of 125 mg abatacept SC, once weekly, for 4 months. Participants were also administered a stable MTX dose of greater than or equal to 10 mg once weekly for at least 4 weeks prior to first injection of SC abatacept.
51
SC Abatacept Monotherapy Cohort
In the ST period, participants were administered a dose of 125 mg abatacept SC, once weekly, for 4 months. Participants did not receive MTX at screening i.e., MTX naive, or discontinued MTX due to lack of efficacy or tolerability at least 4 weeks prior to first injection of SC abatacept.

Cross Tabulations of the Number of Participants With Positive and Negative Immunogenicity Status at Baseline and Each Visit During the ST Study (for ELISA Results)

ELISA is a validated, sensitive assay technique used to analyze presence of abatacept-specific antibodies in serum. For anti-abatacept antibody ELISA, a sample was considered seropositive if it had a titer of 400 or greater and if immunodepletion was observed. The responses that were negative in initial screen were reported as seronegative with a value of \< 400. A sample was considered positive in CTLA4-T antibody ELISA if it had a titer of 25 or greater and if immunodepletion was observed. The responses that were negative in initial screen were reported as seronegative with a value of \< 25.

Time frame: Baseline and on day 15, 29, 43, 57, 85 and 113

Population: Treated participants in the ST period who were evaluable for anti-abatacept or anti-CTLA4-T responses.The overall percentage of subjects who had at least one positive sample was very low, therefore this analysis was not necessary.

Cross Tabulations of the Number of Participants With Positive and Negative Immunogenicity Status at Baseline and Each Visit During the ST Study (for MSD Results)

The ECL (MSD) assay method is a validated, sensitive assay technique used to analyze presence of abatacept-specific antibodies in serum . It is more sensitive and has a higher drug tolerance than the ELISA method. For anti-abatacept antibody ECL(MSD) assay, a sample was considered seropositive if it had a titer of 10 or greater and if immunodepletion was observed with abatacept, or abatacept and CTLA4-T. Those responses that were not positive in the initial screen or were not confirmed to be positive based on immunodepletion were reported as seronegative and were assigned a value of \< 10.

Change From Baseline in All HAQ-DI Components at End of the 4-month Treatment Period (Day 113) of the ST Study

HAQ-DI takes into account participant's use of aids or devices or assistance in scoring algorithm for a disability category. The questionnaire includes 20 questions assessing physical function in 8 domains: dressing, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip, and common activities. The questions are evaluated on a 4-point scale: 0 = without any difficulty, 1 = with some difficulty, 2 = with much difficulty and 3 = unable to do. Higher scores indicate greater dysfunction. The score is calculated by summing worst scores in each domain and dividing by the number of domains answered.

Time frame: Baseline and Month 4 (Day113).

Population: All treated participants included those participants who received at least 1 dose of the study medication (abatacept) in the ST period. n is the number of participants with baseline and post-baseline values.

Change From Baseline in DAS28-CRP Score and Physical Function (HAQ-DI) Score in the LTE Study - Abatacept Monotherapy Subgroup

Abatacept Monotherapy Subgroup consisted of participants who received SC abatacept and did not receive MTX in the ST and LTE Studies. DAS28-CRP: continuous variable which is a composite of 4 variables:number of tender joints out of 28, number of swollen joints out of 28, C-reactive protein (CRP) in mg/L and self assessment of disease activity measure on a VAS of 100mm. DAS 28 = 0.56 \* sqrt(tender28) + 0.28 \* sqrt(swollen28) + 0.36 \* ln(CRP+1) + 0.014 \* VAS + 0.96. HAQ-DI includes 20 questions assessing physical function in 8 domains: dressing, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip, and common activities on a 4-point scale: 0 = without any difficulty, 1 = with some difficulty, 2 = with much difficulty and 3 = unable to do. Higher scores indicate greater dysfunction. The score sums worst scores in each domain and divides by the number of domains answered. Baseline was Day 1 of Short Term Study. Day 113 was the last day of the Short Term Study.

Time frame: Baseline, Day 113, Day 1345

Population: Participants who received abatacept monotherapy (at least 1 dose of abatacept and no MTX) in the ST and LTE Studies and who had values at Baseline, Day 113, and Day 1345, were evaluated.

Number of Participants With Abatacept Induced Antibody Responses Over Time During the LTE Study (ECL Method) - All Treated Participants in LTE Study

The Meso-Scale Discovery (MSD) electrochemiluminescence (ECL) assay method is a validated, sensitive assay technique used to analyze presence of abatacept-specific antibodies in serum. It is more sensitive and has a higher drug tolerance than ELISA method. For the anti-abatacept antibody ECL (MSD) assay, a sample was considered seropositive if it had a titer of 10 or greater and if immunodepletion was observed with abatacept, or abatacept and CTLA4-T. Those responses that were not positive in the initial screen or were not confirmed to be positive based on immunodepletion were reported as seronegative and were assigned a value of \< 10. Antibody responses included CTLA4 and possibly immune globulin (IG), IG and/or junction region.

Number of Participants With AEs of Special Interest During the LTE Study - All Treated Participants in LTE Study

An AE was defined as any new untoward medical occurrence or worsening of a pre-existing medical condition (even if not caused by the study drug). For this study, AEs of particular importance were associated with the use of immunomodulatory agents: infections, autoimmune disorders, malignancies, and injection reaction AEs (systemic AEs occurring within 24 hours of SC injection and local injection site reactions) were recorded.

Time frame: Continuously from start of LTE Study up to 56 days post the last dose

Population: Participants who received at least 1 dose of abatacept in the LTE Study and who had events up to 56 days post the last dose of abatacept in the LTE Study, were evaluated.
