A Study of SPY072 in Rheumatic Disease

This is a multi-center, double-blind, placebo-controlled, Phase 2, proof-of-concept basket study with the goal of assessing the efficacy and safety of SPY072 compared to placebo in adults (aged ≥18 years) with rheumatic disease (RD).

Key information

About this study

The basket study comprises of substudies in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) and psoriatric arthritis (PsA) as follows:

  • RA substudy: Moderately to severely active RA despite treatment with conventional synthetic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (csDMARDs), biologic disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (bDMARDs), or targeted synthetic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (tsDMARDs)
  • axSpA substudy: Moderately to severely active axSpA despite treatment with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS), bDMARDs, or tsDMARDs
  • PsA substudy: Moderately to severely active PsA despite treatment with NSAIDs, csDMARDs, bDMARDs, or tsDMARDs

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

For rheumatoid arthritis:

  • Moderate-to-severely active RA as defined by the presence of ≥4 swollen joints (based on 28 joint count) and ≥4 tender joints (based on 28 joint count) at Screening and Day 1.
  • Documentation of ≥1 of the following:
  • Positive test results for rheumatoid factor or anti-citrullinated peptide antibodies at Screening, OR
  • Radiology report documenting bony erosions in hands or feet consistent with RA on previous radiographs
  • Inadequate response (defined as signs and symptoms of persistently active disease, loss of response, or intolerance) to:
  • ≥1 csDMARD treatment; AND/OR
  • ≤2 classes of bDMARD/tsDMARD treatment (>2 classes of bDMARDs and/or tsDMARDs is exclusionary)

For axial spondyloarthritis:

  • Moderate-to-severely active axSpA defined by BOTH of the following at Screening AND Day 1:
  • BASDAI ≥4, AND
  • Back pain ≥4 (from BASDAI Item 2)
  • hsCRP greater than the ULN per the central laboratory at Screening
  • Inadequate response (defined as signs and symptoms of persistently active disease, loss of response, or intolerance) to:
  • 2 different NSAIDs given at the maximum tolerated dose for ≥4 weeks or intolerant to or has a contraindication to NSAID therapy; AND/OR
  • ≤2 classes of bDMARD (anti-TNF or anti-IL-17)/tsDMARD at an approved dose for ≥12 weeks (>2 classes of bDMARDs/tsDMARDs is exclusionary)

For psoriatic arthritis:

  • Screening and Day 1 TJC ≥3 out of 68 and SJC ≥3 out of 66 (dactylitis counts as 1 joint each)
  • ≥1 active plaque psoriasis lesion and/or a documented history of psoriasis
  • Inadequate response (defined as signs and symptoms of persistently active disease, loss of response, or intolerance) to:
  • ≥1 NSAID treatment; AND
  • ≥1 csDMARD treatment; AND/OR ≤2 classes of bDMARD/tsDMARD treatment (>2 classes of bDMARDs and/or tsDMARDs is exclusionary)

Exclusion criteria

  • Inadequate response to >2 classes of bDMARDs/tsDMARDs
  • Other autoimmune, rheumatologic, inflammatory diseases or pain-amplification syndromes that might confound the evaluations of efficacy of SPY072

Primary outcomes

  1. Rheumatoid Arthritis: Change from baseline in Disease Activity Score in 28 joints (c-reactive protein) (DAS-CRP)

    Time frame: Week 12

    The score is calculated based on the number of tender and swollen joints out of 28 assessed (TJC28 and SJC28), a measure of inflammation in the blood (c-reactive protein, CRP), and the subject's overall assessment of their health (patient global assessment). Scores range from 0-10. Higher scores indicate greater disease activity.

  2. Axial Spondyloarthritis: Change from baseline in Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Score (ADAS)

    Time frame: Week 16

    The score combines 5 disease activity variables (back pain, duration of morning stiffness, patient global assessment of disease activity, peripheral pain/swelling and measure of inflammation) to measure disease activity. Lowest score is 0.6 and increases as disease worsens. Higher scores indicate greater disease activity.

  3. Psoriatic Arthritis: Proportion of participants who achieve an American College of Rheumatology 20 Response Criteria (ACR20) response

    Time frame: Week 16

    The proportion of subjects who achieve at least 20% improvement in tender and swollen joint counts (TJC and SJC), and at least 20% improvement in 3 out of 5 other disease activity measures (patient global assessment, physician global assessment, patient pain assessment, health assessment questionnaire, and measure of inflammation) will be assessed.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Rheumatoid Arthritis: Proportion of participants who achieve an ACR20 response

    Time frame: Week 12

    The proportion of subjects who achieve at least 20% improvement in tender and swollen joint counts, and at least 20% improvement in 3 out of 5 other disease activity measures will be assessed.

  2. Axial Spondyloarthritis: Proportion of participants who achieve an Assessment of Spondyloarthritis International Society (40% improvement) (ASAS40) response

    Time frame: Week 16

    The proportion of subjects who achieve at least 40% improvement in at least 3 out of 4 key domains related to disease severity (patient global assessment of disease activity, back pain, physical function, inflammation) while not experiencing worsening in the remain domain will be assessed.

  3. Psoriatic Arthritis: Change from baseline in Disease Activity Index for Psoriatic Arthritis (DAPSA)

    Time frame: Week 16

    The sum of 5 key disease variables (tender joint count, swollen joint count, patient pain assessment, patient global assessment of disease activity, and C-reactive protein) will be assessed. Scores range from 0.1 to 86. Higher score indicates higher disease activity.
