About this study

Official title: A Phase IIa, Double-Blind, Mechanistic Study of GSK3196165 in Combination With Methotrexate Therapy in Subjects With Active Rheumatoid Arthritis Despite Treatment With DMARDs

This study is designed to explore the activity of granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) signaling pathway in subjects with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), the potential impact of inhibition of this axis by GSK3196165, and to evaluate whether there are any differences in the GM-CSF axis between subjects with early RA compared with those with more established disease. This study also aims to establish the potential impact of GSK3196165 on inflammatory structural joint damage in the hand/wrist using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This is a randomized Phase IIa, multi-center, double-blind, placebo-controlled parallel group study. Approximately 40 subjects with active RA despite treatment with disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) (including conventional or biologic) will be randomized into the study, following a screening period of up to 6 weeks. The total treatment period is up to 10 weeks, with a 12-week follow-up period after the last dose (Week 22).

Change From Baseline in Erosion as Assessed by RAMRIQ Assessment in the Most Affected Hand/Wrist
RAMRIQ is an automated volume quantification assessment for erosion volume. RAMRIQ assessed the same pathologies and joints (except MCP1) as RAMRIS, allowing for direct comparison of results obtained using the two methods. Bones were automatically identified in pre-contrast, coronal T1 images using AAMs. Joint capsules and soft tissues were also segmented with AAMs, providing consistent 3D ROI for synovial enhancement across all time points. Erosion volume was identified inside the bone surfaces using voxel-based classification. The volume of BME and erosions was normalised to total bone volume for statistical analysis. Baseline was defined at Day 1. Change from Baseline was calculated by subtracting the post-dose value from the Baseline value. Only those participants with data available at the specified data points were analyzed (represented by n= X in the category titles).

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Jan 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 16 sites in United States, Poland, Germany. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 16 Nov 2018). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Change From Baseline in Target Engagement Biomarkers- Soluble Granulocyte-macrophage Colony-stimulating Factor (GM-CSF) Complexed to GSK3196165 (time frame: Baseline and Weeks 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 12-Week follow-up (FU) (Week 22)). The study lists 19 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02799472, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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.
