Brief Summary:
This Phase IIa study aims at investigating the safety and tolerability of 2 dose-levels of ABX464 administered daily in combination with methotrexate (MTX) in patients with moderate to severe active Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) who had an inadequate response to MTX or/and to one or more anti- tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) therapies.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Rheumatoid Arthritis Drug: ABX464 50mg Drug: Matching Placebo Drug: ABX464 100mg Drug: Methotrexate Phase 2

Detailed Description:

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study. The study will consist of 3 phases: a screening phase, a treatment phase, and a follow-up phase.

Approximately 60 participants with active Rheumatoid Arthritis will be randomly assigned to receive placebo, 50mg ABX464 or 100mg ABX464 during the treatment phase.

The maximum period of active treatment will be 12 weeks. The maximum duration of study participation will be 17 weeks.

Participant safety will be monitored throughout the study. In addition, several experimental and clinical endpoints will be assessed to obtain information on preliminary efficacy.

    Change from baseline in C-reactive protein (CRP) at Week 12

  4. Number of Patients Achieving DAS28-CRP Response [ Time Frame: Week 12 ]
    Number of patients achieving categorical Disease Activity Score (DAS) DAS28-C-Reactive Protein (CRP) [DAS28-CRP] response will be measured as moderate/good European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) response

  5. Change From Baseline in Disease Activity Scores (DAS-CRP) (28 Joints) [DAS28] [ Time Frame: Week 12 ]

    The DAS28 is a validated index of rheumatoid arthritis disease activity. The DAS28 assessment include 28 tender and swollen joint counts (TJC and SJC), acute phase reactant (CRP ), and patient's global assessment of disease activity (PtGA).

    DAS28-CRP = 0.56 √ (TJC28) + 0.28 √ (SJC28) + 0.36 Ln [CRP(mg/L)+1] + 0.014 PtGA(VAS100mm) + 0.96 Score scale range from 0 to 10. A DAS28 score >5.1 indicates high disease activity, a DAS28 score <3.2 indicates low disease activity, and a DAS28 score <2.6 indicates clinical remission.

    CDAI score= tender28 + swollen28 + (PtGA/10) + (PrGA/10). A moderate activity is defined by a CDAI score >10 to 22 included. A high activity is defined by a CDAI score >22. Change from Baseline: the higher negative number shows a bigger improvment


  11. Number of Patients Achieving Low Disease Activity (LDA) [ Time Frame: Week 12 ]
    Number of patients achieving a Low Disease Activity (LDA) which is defined as DAS28-ESR <=3.2

  12. Number of Patients Achieving Simplified Disease Activity Score (SDAI) Remission [ Time Frame: Week 12 ]

    Change from Baseline in Swollen joint count based on 28-joint assessment (SJC28) at Week 12 SJC28 score range from 0 to 28 Change from Baseline: the higher the negative number is, the better improvment is

  17. Change From Baseline in Pain Visual Analog Scale [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ]
    Change from Baseline in Pain Visual Analog Scale (Pain-VAS) at week 12 The VAS range from 0 to 10 cm (the higher, the more painful) A bigger negative change from baseline shows a bigger improvment

  18. Change From Baseline in Patient Global Assessment of Disease (PtGA) [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ]
    Change from Baseline in Patient Global Assessment of Disease (PtGA) . This is a patient's self assessment of overall RA disease activity on a scale 1-10 where 10 is maximal activity The change from baseline: a bigger negative number shows a bigger improvment

  19. Change From Baseline in Investigator Global Assessment of Disease (PrGA) [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ]
    Change from Baseline in Investigator global assessment of disease (PrGA): investigator's assessment of overall RA disease activity on a scale 1-10 where 10 is maximal activity The change from baseline: the higher negative number shows a better improvement

  20. Change From Baseline in Health Assessment Questionnaire Disability Index (HAQ-DI) [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ]

    Change from Baseline in Health Assessment questionnaire disability index (HAQ-DI) at Week 12 There are 8 sections in this questionnaire: dressing, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip, and activities. There are 2 or 3 questions for each section. Scoring within each section is from 0 (without any difficulty) to 3 (unable to do). For each section the score given to that section is the worst score within the section, i.e. if one question is scored 1 and another 2, then the score for the section is 2. In addition, if an aide or device is used or if help is required from another individual, then the minimum score for that section is 2.

    The 8 scores of the 8 sections are summed and divided by the number of section answered.

    This gives a score range from 0 to 3 (the bigger the worst activity). The change from Baseline: the bigger negative number shows a bigger improvment
