A Phase 3, Multicenter, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of LY2127399 in Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) With or Without Background Disease-Modifying Anti-rheumatic Drug (DMARD) Therapy (FLEX O)
The primary purpose of this study is to help answer if LY2127399 is safe and effective in the
treatment of rheumatoid arthritis with or without background disease-modifying anti-rheumatic
drug (DMARD) therapy.
This study is comprised of 2 periods:
Period 1 - 24-week blinded treatment
Period 2 - 48-week post-treatment follow-up
treatment of rheumatoid arthritis with or without background disease-modifying anti-rheumatic
drug (DMARD) therapy.
This study is comprised of 2 periods:
Period 1 - 24-week blinded treatment
Period 2 - 48-week post-treatment follow-up
In consideration of disease severity, all participants were assessed for non-response at Week
16. A total of 66 joints were examined for swelling, and a total of 66 joint were examined
for tenderness. For participants who had at least 5 swollen and 5 tender joints at baseline,
Week 16 non-responders (NRs) were defined as participants with <20% improvement from baseline
in both tender joint counts and swollen joint counts. For participants who did not have at
least 5 swollen and 5 tender joints at baseline, Week 16 NRs were defined as participants who
had at least 2 additional tender and 2 additional swollen joints from baseline. All Week 16
NRs and all participants who discontinued study treatment at any time, for any reason, were
defined as NRs starting at that timepoint and going forward for all American College of
Rheumatology (ACR) imputed analyses, including the Week 24 endpoint.
