Secondary outcomes (10)
Change From Baseline in Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) and Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP)
Vital sign measurements including SBP and DBP were measured after 5 minutes rest before each reading. Baseline was considered as the latest pre-dose assessment. The change from Baseline is defined as the difference between the post-dose visit value and Baseline value.
Measured: Baseline and up to 22 weeks
Change From Baseline in Heart Rate (HR)
Vital sign measurements including HR was measured after 5 minutes rest before each reading. Baseline was considered as the latest pre-dose assessment. The change from Baseline is defined as the difference between the post-dose visit value and Baseline value.
Measured: Baseline and up to 22 weeks
Change From Baseline in Body Temperature
Vital sign measurements including body temperature was measured after 5 minutes rest before each reading. Baseline was considered as the latest pre-dose assessment. The change from Baseline is defined as the difference between the post-dose visit value and Baseline value.
Measured: Baseline and up to 22 weeks
Change From Baseline in Respiratory Rate
Vital sign measurements including respiratory rate was measured after 5 minutes rest before each reading. Baseline was considered as the latest pre-dose assessment. The change from Baseline is defined as the difference between the post-dose visit value and Baseline value.
Measured: Baseline and up to 22 weeks
Number of Participants With Abnormal 12-lead Electrocardiogram (ECG) Findings
12-Lead ECGs were taken using an ECG machine that automatically calculates the heart rate and measures PR, QRS, QT and corrected QT (QTc) intervals. Number of participants with any abnormal findings in ECG recordings were summarized as clinically significant and not clinically significant. Clinically significant abnormal findings are those which are not associated with the underlying disease, unless judged by the investigator to be more severe than expected for the participant's condition.
Measured: At Week 12
Number of Participants With Emergent Hematology Results Relative to Normal Range
Blood samples were collected to evaluate hemoglobin, hematocrit, mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC), erythrocytes, reticulocytes, white blood cells (WBC), total neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, monocytes, lymphocytes, platelet count, activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), prothrombin time (PT), fibrinogen, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR). Participants were counted in the worst case category that their value changes to (low, normal or high), unless there is no change in their category. Participants whose lab value category was unchanged (e.g. High to High), or whose value became normal, are recorded in the 'To Normal or No Change' category. Participants were counted twice if they had values that changed 'To Low' and 'To High', so the percentages may not add to 100% in such instances.
Measured: Up to 22 weeks
Number of Participants With Emergent Clinical Chemistry Results Relative to Normal Range
Blood samples were collected to evaluate Albumin, Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP), Alanine Amino Transferase (ALT), Aspartate Amino Transferase (AST), Total Bilirubin, Calcium, Cholesterol, Creatine Kinase, C-Reactive protein (CRP), Creatinine, Gamma Glutamyl Transferase (GGT), Glucose, High Density Lipids (HDL), Potassium, Lactate Dehydrogenase, Low Density Lipids (LDL), Sodium, Phosphorus inorganic, Triglycerides, Total Protein and Urea. Participants were counted in the worst case category that their value changes to (low, normal or high), unless there is no change in their category. Participants whose lab value category was unchanged (e.g. High to High), or whose value became normal, are recorded in the 'To Normal or No Change' category. Participants were counted twice if they had values that changed 'To Low' and 'To High', so the percentages may not add to 100% in such instances.
Measured: Up to 22 weeks
Number of Participants With Urinalysis Dipstick Findings
Urine samples were collected for analysis of presence of glucose and protein in urine by dipstick method. The dipstick test gives results in a semi-quantitative manner, and results for urinalysis parameter of urine protein and glucose can be read as negative, Trace, 1+, 2+ and 3+, indicating proportional concentrations in the urine sample
Measured: Up to 22 weeks
Number of Participants With Anti-GSK3196165 Antibody Test Results
Serum samples were collected and tested for presence of antibodies that bind to GSK3196165. The presence of treatment emergent anti-drug antibodies (ADA) were determined using a GSK3196165 bridging style ADA assay with a bio-analytically determined cut point determined during assay validation. Samples taken after dosing with GSK3196165 that have a value at or above the cut-point were considered treatment-emergent ADA-positive. These ADA positive samples were further evaluated in a confirmatory assay, and confirmed positive samples were further characterized by assessment of titer. Baseline was considered as the latest pre-dose assessment. Number of participants with post-Baseline negative or positive anti-GSK3196165 antibody test results were presented.
Measured: Weeks 2, 4, 12 and 22
Change From Baseline in Disease Activity Score for 28 Different Joints C-reactive Protein (DAS28 [CRP]) at All Indicated Timepoints
DAS28 (CRP) is a measure of disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis obtained by examination of 28 joints for swelling and tenderness using CRP as a blood biomarker for inflammation. Its components include: Tender/Painful Joint Count 28 (TJC28), Swollen Joint Count 28 (SJC28), CRP and Patient's Global Assessment of Arthritis. DAS28 (CRP) was calculated by 0.56 (square root of TJC28)+ 0.28 (square root of SJC28)+ 0.36 (natural logarithm [CRP+1])+ (0.014*patients global assessment)+0.96. Scores ranges from 0 to infinity, where higher scores indicates high disease activity. Scores higher than 5.1 indicates high disease activity and scores lower than 2.6 indicates remission. Baseline was considered as the latest pre-dose assessment. The change from Baseline is defined as the difference between the post-dose visit value and Baseline value. Adjusted mean and standard error of adjusted mean are presented using Mixed Model for Repeated Measures.
Measured: Baseline, up to Week 22

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
This is a randomized, double-blind, parallel group, 3 dosage level, placebo-controlled, Phase 1/2 study designed to evaluate the pharmacokinetics, safety, tolerability, and efficacy of the monoclonal antibody GSK3196165, in Japanese subjects with active moderate-severe rheumatoid arthritis (RA) despite treatment with methotrexate(MTX). The subjects will receive GSK3196165 in combination with methotrexate therapy for the 12 weeks of treatment period. Approximately 55 subjects will be screened to achieve 40 randomized subjects, so as to have approximately 10 subjects in each treatment group.

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 16 inclusion and 46 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 26 Jun 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 32 sites in Japan. 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 combined phase mean?
Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.
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 26 Jun 2019). 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?
Maximum Observed Concentration (Cmax) of GSK3196165 (time frame: Pre-dose on Days 1, 8, 15, 29, 57 and 71; anytime during visit on Days 3, 74, 85, 106, 127 and 155). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. 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 26 Jun 2019.
