NCT01064856

Brief Summary

The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of adalimumab 40 mg administered every other week (eow) subcutaneously (SC) compared to placebo for 12 weeks followed by open label (OL) safety and efficacy assessments in participants with non-ankylosing spondylitis (AS), non-psoriatic arthritis (PsA) active peripheral spondyloarthritis (SpA) who have had an inadequate response to \>= 2 non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), or are intolerant to, or have a contraindication for, NSAIDs.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Percentage of Responders According to the Composite Peripheral SpA Response Criteria (PSpARC 40) at Week 12

    Percentage of participants achieving the following composite response at Week 12: \>= 40% improvement (minimum 20 mm absolute improvement) from Baseline in Patient Global Assessment (PTGA) of Disease Activity as measured by a 100 mm visual analogue scale (VAS) where 0=no symptoms and 100=maximum symptoms; \>= 40% improvement (minimum 20 mm absolute improvement) from Baseline in PTGA - Pain as measured by a 100 mm VAS where 0=no pain and 100=maximum pain; and \>= 40% improvement from Baseline in at least 1 of the following 3 criteria: swollen joint count (76 joints) and tender joint count (78 joints); total enthesitis count; or total dactylitis count. Non-responder imputation: missing response was imputed as non-response.

    Week 12

  • Number of Participants With Adverse Events

    An adverse event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant, which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with treatment. If an adverse event meets any of the following criteria, it is considered a serious adverse event (SAE): results in death or is life-threatening, results in admission or prolongation of hospitalization, results in congenital anomaly or persistent or significant disability/incapacity, or is an important medical event requiring medical or surgical intervention to prevent serious outcome. AEs were categorized by severity (mild, moderate, severe) and relationship to treatment (probably, possibly, probably not, not related). Please see Adverse Events section below for more details.

    Baseline (day of first study drug administration) through Week 156 plus 70 days

Secondary Outcomes (11)

  • Change From Baseline in Physician Global Assessment (PGA) of Disease Activity at Week 12

    Baseline (last measurement prior to first DB dose), Week 12

  • Change From Baseline in Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI) at Week 12

    Baseline (last measurement prior to first DB dose), Week 12

  • Change From Baseline in Health Assessment Questionnaire Modified for the Spondyloarthropathies (HAQ-S) Total at Week 12

    Baseline (last measurement prior to first DB dose), Week 12

  • Change From Baseline in Short Form-36 Health Status Survey™ Version 2 (SF-36™V2) Physical Component Score (PCS) at Week 12

    Baseline (last measurement prior to first DB dose), Week 12

  • Change From Baseline in Maastricht Ankylosing Spondylitis Enthesitis Score (MASES) at Week 12

    Baseline (last measurement prior to first DB dose), Week 12

  • +6 more secondary outcomes
