NCT06671054 | RECRUITING | Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)

A Dose Response Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Oral AP1189 Administered in Disease-Modifying Anti-Rheumatic Drug (DMARD) naïve Participants Participants With Early Rheumatoid Arthritis
Sponsor:

SynAct Pharma Aps

Brief Summary:

The study is a randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled, dose response, phase II, multicentre trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of oral AP1189 administered at the doses of 40, 70, or 100 mg for 12 weeks in combination with methotrexate, in DMARD-naïve participants with early rheumatoid arthritis and active inflammation.

Phase

PHASE2

Detailed Description:

The purpose of the trial is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of 12 weeks daily treatment of oral AP1189 at the doses of 40, 70, or 100 mg in combination with oral MTX compared to oral MTX alone. The aim is to have 240 participants randomized to one of the 4 treatment groups, in a 1:1:1:1 ratio and treated with both AP1189/Placebo and MTX.

Exclusion Criteria
  • * Functional class IV of Global Functional Status in RA, as defined by the ACR Classification.
  • * Rheumatic autoimmune disease other than RA, i.e. systemic lupus erythematosus, mixed connective tissue disease, scleroderma, polymyositis, or significant systemic involvement secondary to RA.
  • * Current inflammatory joint disease other than RA.
  • * Non-inflammatory type of musculoskeletal condition that in the Investigator's opinion is symptomatic and/or severe enough to interfere with the subject's primary diagnosis of RA or the evaluation of the effect of the study drug.
  • * Gastrointestinal diseases known to interfere with the absorption or excretion of medications.
  • * Severe, progressive, or uncontrolled renal, hepatic, hematologic, gastrointestinal, metabolic, endocrine, pulmonary, cardiac or neurologic disease.
  • * Malignancy active during the 12 months preceding the Screening Visit.
  • * Acute hepatitis, chronic hepatitis, or detection of any unexplained elevation of serum ALT or AST greater than 1.5-fold ULN, at least twice in the 6 months before the Screening Visit) or HIV infection.
  • * History of alcohol or drug abuse during the 12 months preceding the Screening Visit.

  • * Absolute neutrophil count \<1.2 x 109/L at the Screening Visit.
  • * Platelet count \<100 x 109/L at the Screening Visit.
  • * Serum alkaline-phosphatase, or gamma-glutamyl-transferase greater than 3-fold ULN; alanine aminotransferase, or aspartate aminotransferase, or total bilirubin greater than 2-fold ULN At the Screening Visit.

  • * Use of other investigational drugs/treatments, or enrolment in a clinical trial during the 6 months preceding the Screening Visit.
  • * Any other clinically relevant disease and condition that, in the opinion of the Investigator, may jeopardize efficacy or safety assessments or may compromise the subject's safety during trial participation.
