Brief summary

The primary purpose of the study is to help answer the following research questions, and not to provide treatment for Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA): * The safety of LY2439821 and any side effects that might be associated with it. * Whether LY2439821 can help participants with active RA. * How much LY2439821 should be given to participants.

Detailed description

Study I1F-MC-RHAK is a multicenter study in participants with active RA on concomitant conventional DMARD therapy. The study is a Phase 2 study with 2 parts. Part A is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, dose-ranging design and Part B is an optional, open-label extension design. Two participant populations will be evaluated in this study: bDMARD-naive participants and TNFα-IR participants. Participants in Part A receive multiple subcutaneous injections of LY2439821 \[bDMARD-naive participants: 0 (placebo), 3, 10, 30, 80, or 180 mg; TNFα-IR participants: 0 (placebo), 80 or 180 mg\] at Weeks 0, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10. Participants in Part B receive subcutaneous injections of LY2439821 160 mg at Weeks 16, 18, and 20, and every 4 weeks thereafter through Week 60. Participants who complete both Part A and B have a total study participation of up to approximately 72 to 84 weeks.

Change From Baseline in Individual Components of the ACR Core Set-TJC - Part ABaseline, up to Week 12TJC was determined by examination of 28 joint counts that were assessed for tenderness by pressure and joint manipulation on physical examination. The participant was asked for pain sensations on these manipulations and was watched for spontaneous pain reactions. Any positive response on pressure, movement, or both was translated into a single tender-versus-non-tender dichotomy. Joint assessments for each participant were performed by the same assessor, when possible, throughout the study to minimize variation. Replaced, ankylosed, arthrodesed joints were identified by the investigator and excluded from evaluation during the study. Any joints that required intra-articular injections during the study were excluded from evaluation from the time of the injection to the conclusion of the study. The number of tender joints ranged from 0-28. A negative change indicated fewer tender joints.

Duration was the time from when the participants woke up to when normal activities could be resumed. Durations recorded as longer than 12 hours (720 minutes) were summarized as 720 minutes. An increase in duration from baseline indicated a joint worsening and a decrease from baseline indicated joint improvement.
Change From Baseline in HAQ-DI - Part ABaseline, up to Week 12HAQ-DI was a participant-reported questionnaire that consisted of 20 questions referring to 8 domains: dressing/grooming, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip, and daily activities. Participants assessed their ability to do each task over the past week using the following response categories: 0 (without any difficulty), 1 (with some difficulty), 2 (with much difficulty), and 3 (unable to do). The highest score for any question in a category was the score of that category unless special aids or devices or help from another person was required. Answers for at least 6 of the 8 disability domains were required to compute the participant's HAQ-DI score. If the participant had scores for fewer than 6 categories, the HAQ-DI score was considered missing. The HAQ-DI score was calculated as the sum of the category scores divided by the number of categories scored, with a possible scores range of 0 to 3. Negative mean changes from baseline indicated improvement.

Dose-Response Relationship Measured by the Percentage of Participants With American College of Rheumatology (ACR) 20 Response in bDMARD-Naive Population

ACR20 responders are participants with at least 20% improvement from baseline for tender joint count (TJC), swollen joint count (SJC), and at least 3 of the 5 remaining core set measures: Health Assessment Questionnaire-Disability Index (HAQ-DI) which measured participants perceived degree of difficulty performing daily activities, C-reactive Protein (CRP), Patient's Assessment of Arthritis Pain-Visual Analog Scale (PAAP-VAS), Patient's Global Assessment of Disease Activity-VAS(PtGADA-VAS), and Physician's Global Assessment of Disease Activity-VAS (PhGA-VAS). Missing values were imputed using Non-Responder Imputation (NRI). Percentage of participants achieving ACR20 response was calculated as: (number of ACR20 responders / number of participants treated) \* 100.

Time frame: Week 12

Population: Part A FAS: All randomized participants who received at least 1 dose of study drug and were bDMARD-naive.

ACR-N - Part A

ACR-N was a continuous measure of clinical, laboratory and functional outcomes in RA that characterized the percentage of improvement in RA disease activity from baseline. The index was defined as the lowest of either: the percent change in TJC, the percent change in SJC, or the median percent change of the remaining 5 ACR core criteria: HAQ-DI, CRP, PAAP-VAS, PtGADA-VAS, and PhGA-VAS. For each criterion, percent change was calculated as: \[(post baseline value - baseline value) / baseline value\] \* 100.

Change From Baseline in FACIT Fatigue Scale - Part B

The FACIT-Fatigue Scale was a brief participant-reported questionnaire measure of fatigue and consisted of 13 items that assessed tiredness, weakness and difficulty conducting usual activities due to fatigue. Each question was scored on a 5-point scale from 0 (not at all) to 4 (very much). Scores range from 0 to 52, with higher scores indicating greater fatigue. For missing data, scores were prorated using the average of the other answers in the scales as long as more than 50% of the items were answered. A negative change indicated less fatigue.

Change From Baseline in HAQ-DI - Part A

HAQ-DI was a participant-reported questionnaire that consisted of 20 questions referring to 8 domains: dressing/grooming, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip, and daily activities. Participants assessed their ability to do each task over the past week using the following response categories: 0 (without any difficulty), 1 (with some difficulty), 2 (with much difficulty), and 3 (unable to do). The highest score for any question in a category was the score of that category unless special aids or devices or help from another person was required. Answers for at least 6 of the 8 disability domains were required to compute the participant's HAQ-DI score. If the participant had scores for fewer than 6 categories, the HAQ-DI score was considered missing. The HAQ-DI score was calculated as the sum of the category scores divided by the number of categories scored, with a possible scores range of 0 to 3. Negative mean changes from baseline indicated improvement.

Change From Baseline in HAQ-DI - Part B

HAQ-DI was a participant-reported questionnaire that consisted of 20 questions referring to 8 domains: dressing/grooming, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip, and daily activities. Participants assessed their ability to do each task over the past week using the following response categories: 0 (without any difficulty), 1 (with some difficulty), 2 (with much difficulty), and 3 (unable to do). The highest score for any question in a category was the score of that category unless special aids or devices or help from another person was required. Answers for at least 6 of the 8 disability domains were required to compute the participant's HAQ-DI score. If the participant had scores for fewer than 6 categories, the HAQ-DI score was considered missing. The HAQ-DI score was calculated as the sum of the category scores divided by the number of categories scored, with a possible scores range from 0 to 3. Negative mean changes from baseline indicated improvement.

Time frame: Baseline, Week 64

Change From Baseline in Individual Components of the ACR Core Set-SJC - Part A

SJC was determined by examination of 28 joint that were classified as either swollen or not swollen. Swelling was defined as palpable fluctuating synovitis of the joint. Swelling secondary to osteoarthrosis was assessed as not swollen, unless there was unmistakable fluctuation. Joint assessments for each participant were performed by the same assessor, when possible, throughout the study to minimize variation. Replaced, ankylosed, or arthrodesed joints were identified by the investigator and were excluded from evaluation during the study. Any joints that required intra-articular injections over the course of the study were excluded from evaluation from the time of the injection to the conclusion of the study. The number of swollen joints count ranged from 0-28. A negative change indicated fewer swollen joints.

Change From Baseline in Individual Components of the ACR Core Set-TJC - Part A

TJC was determined by examination of 28 joint counts that were assessed for tenderness by pressure and joint manipulation on physical examination. The participant was asked for pain sensations on these manipulations and was watched for spontaneous pain reactions. Any positive response on pressure, movement, or both was translated into a single tender-versus-non-tender dichotomy. Joint assessments for each participant were performed by the same assessor, when possible, throughout the study to minimize variation. Replaced, ankylosed, arthrodesed joints were identified by the investigator and excluded from evaluation during the study. Any joints that required intra-articular injections during the study were excluded from evaluation from the time of the injection to the conclusion of the study. The number of tender joints ranged from 0-28. A negative change indicated fewer tender joints.

Change From Baseline in Individual Components of the ACR Core Set-TJC - Part B

TJC was determined by examination of 28 joint counts that were assessed for tenderness by pressure and joint manipulation on physical examination. The participant was asked for pain sensations on these manipulations and was watched for spontaneous pain reactions. Any positive response on pressure, movement, or both was translated into a single tender-versus-non-tender dichotomy. Joint assessments for each participant were performed by the same assessor, when possible, throughout the study to minimize variation. Replaced, ankylosed, arthrodesed joints were identified by the investigator and excluded from evaluation during the study. Any joints that required intra-articular injections during the study were excluded from evaluation from the time of the injection to the conclusion of the study. The number of tender joints ranged from 0-28. A negative change indicated fewer tender joints.

Time frame: Baseline, Week 64

Population: All participants from Part A who entered the open-label portion of the study, Part B, with Week 64 TJC results.

Smallest Doses That Achieve 10%, 50%, and 90% of the Maximum ACR 20 Response in bDMARD-Naive Population

ACR20 responders are participants with at least 20% improvement from baseline for TJC, SJC, and at least 3 of the 5 remaining core set measures: HAQ-DI, CRP, PAAP-VAS, PtGADA-VAS, and PhGA-VAS. The model used in the dose response analysis was used to estimate the doses that achieved 10%, 50%, and 90% of the maximal drug efficacy. Missing values were imputed using NRI. The log transformed dose was evaluated.

Time frame: Week 12

Population: Part A FAS: All randomized participants who received at least 1 dose of study drug and were bDMARD-naive.

Smallest Doses That Achieved 10%, 50%, and 90% of the Maximum Disease Activity Score (DAS) 28 Response in bDMARD-Naive Population

DAS modified included the 28 diarthrodial joint count (DAS28) that consisted of a composite score of the following variables: TJC out of 28 (TJC28), SJC out of 28 (SJC28), CRP \[milligrams per liter (mg/L)\], and PtGADA on a 0 to 100 millimeter (mm) VAS ranging from 0 mm (no arthritis activity) to 100 mm (extremely active arthritis). DAS28 was calculated as: DAS28 - CRP = 0.56(square root of TJC28) + 0.28(square root of SJC28) + 0.36(ln\[CRP +1\]) + 0.014(VAS) + 0.96.
