Brief summary

This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of ocrelizumab, compared to placebo, in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis who have an inadequate response to methotrexate therapy. Patients will be randomized 2:2:1 to receive 1) infusions of ocrelizumab 200mg iv on Days 1 and 15, 2) infusions of ocrelizumab 400mg iv on Day 1 and placebo iv on Day 15, or 3) infusions of placebo iv on Days 1 and 15. At the end of the placebo-controlled treatment period at 24 weeks, patients in groups 1 and 3 will be re-randomized to receive either a single infusion of 400mg iv ocrelizumab or 2 infusions of 200mg iv ocrelizumab, and group 2 will receive a second single infusion of 400mg iv ocrelizumab. All patients will receive a stable dose of concomitant methotrexate (7.5-25mg/week) throughout the study. The anticipated time on study treatment is 1-2 years. Target number of patients to be enrolled in this trial is 300.

Interventions

DRUGMethotrexate

Oral or parenteral repeating dose

DRUGOcrelizumab

Ocrelizumab was administered as a slow intravenous (iv) infusion during each course as either 200 mg on Day 1 and Day 15 (OCR 200×2) or as 400 mg given on Day 1 (OCR 400×1). Ocrelizumab was administered in combination with Methotrexate.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Percentage of Participants With American College of Rheumatology (ACR) 20 ResponseWeek 24ACR20 response: greater than or equal to (≥) 20% improvement in tender or swollen joint counts and 20% improvement in 3 of the following 5 criteria: 1) Physician's global assessment of disease activity, 2) participant assessment of disease activity, 3) Patient Assessment of Pain (visual analog scale \[VAS\]), 4) participant assessment of functional disability via a Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ), and 5) erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) at each visit.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change in DAS28 From BaselineWeek 24The DAS28 was derived from assessments of erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) measured in millimeters per hour (mm/h), tender joint count on 28 joints (TJC28), swollen joint count on 28 joints (SJC28), and Patient's Global Assessment of disease activity according to 100--millimeter (mm) Visual Analog Scale (VAS). DAS28 score was calculated as \[0.56 × square root of TJC\] + \[0.28 × square root of SJC\] + \[0.70 × natural log (ESR)\] + \[0.014 × VAS\]. DAS28 score could range from 0 to 10, where higher score represented higher disease activity. The change from Week 24 to Week 40 was averaged among all participants, where negative changes indicated an improvement in disease activity. The change is the difference in adjusted mean change from baseline in DAS28 between ocrelizumab 400 x 1 and ocrelizumab 200 x 2 with placebo.

Change in FACIT-F Fatigue Assessment From BaselineBaseline, Weeks 4, 12, and 24The FACIT-Fatigue score was calculated according to a 13-item questionnaire that assesses self-reported fatigue and its impact upon daily activities and function. FACIT-F is a 13-item questionnaire. Participants scored each item on a 5-point scale: 0 (Not at all) to 4 (Very much). The larger the participant's response to the questions (with the exception of 2 negatively stated), the greater the participants fatigue. For all questions, except for the 2 negatively stated ones, the code was reversed and a new score was calculated as (4 minus the participant's response). The sum of all responses resulted in the FACIT-Fatigue score for a total possible score of 0 (worse score) to 52 (better score). Clinically relevant improvement is defined as a greater than or equal to (≥)5-point change from Baseline.

DAS28 score was calculated as \[0.56 × square root of TJC\] + \[0.28 × square root of SJC\] + \[0.70 × natural log (ESR)\] + \[0.014 × VAS\]. DAS28 score could range from 0 to 10, where higher score represented higher disease activity. The change from Week 24 to Week 40 was averaged among all participants, where negative changes indicated an improvement in disease activity. The change is the difference in adjusted mean change from baseline in DAS28 between ocrelizumab 400 x 1 and ocrelizumab 200 x 2 with placebo.

Percentage of Participants Achieving Disease Activity Score 28 (DAS28) Remission (DAS28 < 2.6)

The DAS28 was derived from assessments of erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) measured in millimeters per hour (mm/h), tender joint count on 28 joints (TJC28), swollen joint count on 28 joints (SJC28), and Patient's Global Assessment of disease activity according to 100--millimeter (mm) Visual Analog Scale (VAS). DAS28 score was calculated as \[0.56 × square root of TJC\] + \[0.28 × square root of SJC\] + \[0.70 × natural log (ESR)\] + \[0.014 × VAS\]. DAS28 score could range from 0 to 10, where higher score represented higher disease activity. The change from Week 24 to Week 40 was averaged among all participants, where negative changes indicated an improvement in disease activity.
