Rheumatic Arthritis Clinical Trial
Official title:
Capability of Tofacitinib or Etanercept to Accelerate Clinical Relevant Tapering of Non-steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAID) and Treat-to-target Guided De-escalation of Corticosteroids in Patients With Active Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) and an Inadequate Response to Previous csDMARD Therapy (AcceleRAte)
Patients with active rheumatic arthritis (RA) and lack of efficacy of at least one csDMARD (Disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug) treatment will be randomized to receive either Tofacitinib (TOFA) or etanercept (ETA). The study will be separated into two parts: The capability to decrease and discontinue pain-reducing treatment with a NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug) over the first 12 weeks of treatment will be measured for primary outcome measured using a visual analogue scale (VAS) at week 12 compared to baseline between the two treatment groups. Starting at week 12, the capability to taper corticosteroid (CS) treatment using a treat-to-target strategy, i.e. when at least low disease activity (LDA-DAS28) is achieved, will be measured in both groups.
In this clinical study, a design was chosen to reflect European standards recommended by EULAR for treatment of active RA by comparison of a Treat-to- target (T2T) approach in two treatment groups: Patients with active RA and lack of efficacy of at least one csDMARD treatment will be randomized to receive either TOFA or ETA. The study will be separated into two parts: The capability to decrease and discontinue pain-reducing treatment with a NSAID (Celecoxib, two times 200 mg as maximum standard dosage for RA) over the first 12 weeks of treatment will be measured for primary outcome. The proportion of patients with successful discontinuation of Celecoxib and significant and clinical relevant decrease of pain-levels measured using a visual analogue scale (VAS) with a reduction of at least 30% at week 12 compared to baseline will be compared between the two treatment groups. Starting at week 12, the capability to taper CS treatment using a treat-to-target strategy, i.e. when at least low disease activity (LDA-DAS28) is achieved, will be measured in both groups. In addition to efficacy assessments (DAS28, ACR-response, SJC, TJC), patient reported outcomes, Quality of Life (QoL) measurements and patient satisfaction will be evaluated. Safety (severity and frequency of adverse events) will be evaluated over the 24-week treatment period. ;
