TLL-018 in Patients With Moderate to Severe Active Rheumatoid Arthritis With Inadequate Response or Intolerance to csDMARDs

Официальное название

A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Parallel-Group Phase II Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of TLL-018 in Patients With Moderate to Severe Active Rheumatoid Arthritis With Inadequate Response or Intolerance to csDMARDs

Обзор

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled parallel-group Phase II study. The study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of TLL-018 in adult patients with moderate to severe active rheumatoid arthritis who have inadequate response or intolerance to conventional synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (csDMARDs).

Подробное описание

The study will consist of a 35-day screening period, a 12-week randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, placebo-controlled treatment period (Period 1: primary efficacy observation period), a 12-week open-label treatment period with TLL-018 (Period 2: extension observation period), and a 14-day safety follow-up period.

Approximately 90 study participants will be randomized at a 2:1 ratio to the TLL-018 20 mg group (treatment group, 60 participants, administered twice daily \[BID\]) or the placebo group (placebo group, 30 participants, administered twice daily \[BID\]).

Treatment group: TLL-018 20 mg BID in Period 1 → TLL-018 20 mg BID in Period 2 Placebo group: Placebo BID in Period 1 → TLL-018 20 mg BID in Period 2

2 "Meets the 2010 American College of Rheumatology/European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology (ACR/EULAR) classification criteria for active rheumatoid arthritis (RA), with a disease duration of at least 3 months at the screening visit： Has received conventional synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (csDMARDs) for ≥ 3 months prior to screening, with a stable dose for at least 4 weeks before randomization； Active rheumatoid arthritis meeting all of the following criteria: ≥6 swollen joints (SJC, 66-joint count) and ≥6 tender joints (TJC, 68-joint count) at screening and baseline visits. Joints that have undergone major surgery or received intra-articular injection within 4 weeks before randomization will be excluded from SJC and TJC counts. High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) > upper limit of normal (ULN) or ≥5 mg/L at baseline (CRP testing is acceptable; hsCRP is preferred)." 3 Functional Class I, II, or III according to the 1991 American College of Rheumatology (ACR) rheumatoid arthritis functional classification criteria.

4 "Organ function must satisfy the following laboratory criteria: Bone marrow: hemoglobin ≥90 g/L; platelets ≥100 ×10⁹/L; absolute neutrophil count ≥1.5 ×10⁹/L; lymphocyte count ≥0.8 ×10⁹/L; white blood cell count ≥2.5 ×10⁹/L.

Hepatic function: total bilirubin ≤1.5 × ULN; aspartate aminotransferase (AST) OR alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤1.5 × ULN.

Renal function: serum creatinine <1.2 × ULN. Urinalysis: urine protein ≤1+. If urine protein >1+, a 24-hour urine protein collection is required, with total urinary protein ≤1 g." 5 Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) must not be pregnant or breastfeeding. A pregnancy test (e.g., β-HCG assay) must be performed prior to study entry (last menstrual period will be documented). All participants and their partners must agree to use effective contraception (as judged by the Investigator) from the first dose of investigational product until at least 90 days after the last dose (see Appendix 12). Participants must have no plans to donate sperm or ova from screening through at least 6 months after the last study drug administration.

6 The participant understands the informed consent form, voluntarily agrees to participate in the study, and provides written informed consent. Informed consent must be obtained prior to performance of any study-related procedures.

Критерии исключения

• 1 Evidence or diagnosis of other rheumatic diseases prior to screening (secondary Sjögren's syndrome excluded), including systemic lupus erythematosus, psoriatic arthritis, mixed connective tissue disease, primary Sjögren's syndrome, dermatomyositis, polymyositis, systemic sclerosis, and ankylosing spondylitis.
