About this study

Official title: A 24-Week, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Parallel Group Study of the Efficacy of Oral SCIO-469 in Subjects With Active Rheumatoid Arthritis Who Are Not Receiving DMARDs Other Than Hydroxychloroquine

The primary objective of this study is to determine the efficacy of oral SCIO-469 in patients with rheumatoid arthritis who are not receiving liver damaging (hepatotoxic) disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs).

Read the detailed description

This is a 24 week randomized (study drug assigned by chance), double blind (neither physician nor patient knows the name of the assigned drug), placebo controlled, parallel group study assessing the safety and effectiveness of oral SCIO-469 in treating patients with rheumatoid arthritis who are not receiving liver damaging (hepatotoxic) disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs). The patient will participate in the study for approximately 183 days. Safety measures will include vital signs (blood pressure, pulse rate, breathing rate), 12-lead electro-cardiogram, adverse events, concomitant medications, and clinical laboratory evaluations (including serum chemistry, hematology, qualitative urinalysis, and liver function tests). The patient may be assigned to receive 30 mg capsule orally (by mouth) as one or two capsules three times daily, or receive 100 mg tablet orally once daily, or placebo (no active drug) orally as two capsules three times daily and placebo tablet orally once daily for 24 weeks.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. ACR20 is 20% reduction in tender and swollen joint counts and 20% improvement in three of the five remaining ACR core set measures: patient and physician global assessments, visual analog scale for pain, HAQ, and an acute-phase reactant (CRP or ESR)

    Measured: Day 1 to approximately Day 85 of treatment

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. ACR50 responders at Week 12

    Measured: 12 weeks

  2. ACR20 and ACR50 responders at each evaluation visit other than Week 12

    Measured: 24 weeks

  3. All individual variables of the ACR response criteria at each evaluation visit

    Measured: 24 weeks

  4. Disease Activity Score (DAS)28 at each evaluation visit.

    Measured: 24 Weeks

  5. The number of participants experiencing adverse events (AEs) as a measure of safety

    Measured: 24 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing SCIO-469 in people with Arthritis, Rheumatoid, run by Scios, Inc..

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Oct 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

ACR20 is 20% reduction in tender and swollen joint counts and 20% improvement in three of the five remaining ACR core set measures: patient and physician global assessments, visual analog scale for pain, HAQ, and an acute-phase reactant (CRP or ESR) (time frame: Day 1 to approximately Day 85 of treatment). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 18 Oct 2010.
