Trial Outcomes & Findings for Evaluation of the Optimal MTX Dose as an Add-on Therapy to Adalimumab for RA Patients in Japan, South Korea and Taiwan (NCT NCT03505008)

NCT ID: NCT03505008

Last Updated: 2025-03-06

Results Overview

SDAI is a validated combined index of rheumatoid arthritis disease activity, defined as the sum of Swollen Joint Count (0-28), Tender Joint Count (0-28), Patient's Global Assessment of Disease Activity (measured on a visual analogue scale with a range of 0 \[none\] to 10 \[most severe\]), Physician's Global Assessment of Disease Activity (measured on a visual analogue scale with a range of 0 \[none\] to 10 \[most severe\]), and C-reactive protein (mg/dL). Higher scores represent higher disease activity. SDAI ≤ 3.3 indicates disease remission, \> 3.4 to 11 = low disease activity, \> 11 to 26 = moderate disease activity, and \> 26 = high disease activity.

MTX-Monotherapy Before Week 24 Randomization
Participants will receive Methotrexate (MTX) at a starting dose of 6 to 8 mg/week, which will be promptly escalated to the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of ≤25 mg/week up to Week 12, and maintained until Week 24. Methotrexate: Route of Administration: Oral
MTX-Monotherapy Group After Week 24
Participants will receive Methotrexate (MTX) at a starting dose of 6 to 8 mg/week, which will be promptly escalated to the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of ≤25 mg/week up to Week 12, and maintained until Week 24. If the dosage of MTX is maintained ≥ 10 mg/week and simple disease activity index (SDAI) remission is achieved at Week 24, the MTX therapy will continue until Week 48.

Participants will receive Methotrexate (MTX) at a starting dose of 6 to 8 mg/week, which will be promptly escalated to the MTD of ≤25 mg/week up to Week 12, and maintained until Week 24. If the dosage of MTX is maintained ≥ 10 mg/week and SDAI remission is not achieved at Week 24, Adalimumab (ADA) 40 mg will be administered subcutaneously every other week in addition to the MTX therapy until Week 48.

HAQ-DI is a patient-reported questionnaire, consists of 20 questions in 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 as: without any difficulty (0); with some difficulty (1); with much difficulty (2); unable to do (3). Scores on each task were summed and averaged to provide an overall score from 0 to 3, where 0=no disability and 3=very severe, high-dependency disability. Normal physical function is defined by HAQ-DI score of \< 0.5.

Bone erosions will be evaluated for each region from a scale of 0 (no damage) to 5 (complete collapse of the joint). The score will be 0 to 5 for each hand joint, and 0 to 10 for each foot joint. The maximum total erosion score of both hands will be 160 points, and that of both feet will be 120 points. Joint space narrowing will be evaluated for each region from a scale of 0 (no damage) to 4 (ankylosis or luxation). The maximum total joint space narrowing score of both hands will be 120 points, and that of both feet will be 48 points. Erosion scores and joint space narrowing scores were added to obtain the mTSS (range from 0 to 448).
