Trial Review

Please note the ANZCTR will be unattended from Friday 20 December 2024 for the holidays. The Registry will re-open on Tuesday 7 January 2025. Submissions and updates will not be processed during that time.

Registering a new trial?

To achieve prospective registration, we recommend submitting your trial for registration at the same time as ethics submission.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - abatacept
Treatment: Drugs - Methotrexate (MTX)

Experimental: Subcutaneous (SC) Abatacept + Methotrexate (MTX) Cohort - In the ST period, participants were administered a dose of 125 mg abatacept SC, once weekly, for 4 months. Participants were also administered a stable MTX dose of greater than or equal to 10 mg once weekly for at least 4 weeks prior to first injection of SC abatacept.

Experimental: SC Abatacept Monotherapy Cohort - In the ST period, participants were administered a dose of 125 mg abatacept SC, once weekly, for 4 months. Participants did not receive MTX at screening i.e., MTX naive, or discontinued MTX due to lack of efficacy or tolerability at least 4 weeks prior to first injection of SC abatacept.


Treatment: Drugs: abatacept
solution, subcutaneous injection, 125 mg/kg, weekly, 106 days in short term; long term is open

Treatment: Drugs: Methotrexate (MTX)
Participants who were currently receiving methotrexate at a stable dose = 10 mg for at least 4 weeks
