Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Comparative Study Between PF-06410293 and Humira® in Combination With Methotrexate in Participants With Active Rheumatoid Arthritis (NCT NCT04230213)

A total of 455 participants were enrolled in the study of which 10 participants were excluded from all the data analyses due to violation of Good Clinical Practice (GCP) principles. These 10 participants were not included in any section of results.

Here, number analyzed signifies number of participants evaluable for specified rows i.e. Humira (adalimumab) arm including all participants enrolled in TP1 and Switching arm: Humira and PF-06410293 (Adalimumab) and Non-switching Arm: Humira (Adalimumab) arms including all participants who were randomized at Week 10.

Cmax refers to maximum observed serum concentration of drug. The geometric coefficient of variation is expressed in percentage.

Area under the serum concentration curve from time 0 to end of dosing interval (tau), where dosing interval was once every two weeks. The geometric coefficient of variation is expressed in percentage.

Tmax is the time taken (in hours) to reach the maximum serum drug concentration.

Cav was defined as average serum concentration over the dosing interval. The geometric coefficient of variation is expressed in percentage.

Clearance of a drug is a measure of the rate at which a drug is metabolized or eliminated by normal biological processes. CL/F was calculated as dose administered divided by area under the concentration curve from time 0 extrapolated to infinite time (AUCinf). The geometric coefficient of variation is expressed in percentage.

Ctrough was defined as pre-dose serum concentration during multiple dosing and observed directly from data.

An adverse event (AE) was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant, temporally associated with the use of study treatment, whether or not considered related to the study treatment. An SAE was any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose: resulted in death; required inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; was life-threatening; resulted in persistent or significant disability/ incapacity; congenital anomaly/birth defect and other important medical events. Treatment-related AE was any untoward medical occurrence attributed to study drug in a participant who received study drug. TEAE for TP1 was defined as any AE that occurred after the beginning of study treatment in TP1 and before the first dose of study treatment administration after randomization in TP2. AEs included both serious and all non-serious AEs.

TEAE for TP1 was defined as any AE that occurred after the beginning of study treatment in TP1 and before the first dose of study treatment administration after randomization in TP2.

Participants who discontinued from study due to TEAE were those who had an TEAE in TP1 indicating that the AE caused the participant to be discontinued from the study.

Samples positive for ADA were further tested for neutralizing activity using a validated cell based NAb assay. ADA positive was defined as ADA titer \>=1.88 while NAb positive was defined as NAb titer \>=0.70.

Serum samples were analyzed using a validated ECL immunoassay for ADA assessment. Endpoint titer was defined as log10 of the reciprocal of the ADA serum dilution at which the sample response was equal to the cut-point of the assay.
