Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - Apremilast 20mg
Treatment: Drugs - Apremilast 30mg

Experimental: Apremilast 20 mg - 20 mg Apremilast tablets administered twice daily for 24 weeks during the placebo-controlled phase followed by 20 mg Apremilast tablets administered twice daily for up to 4.5 years in the active treatment / long-term safety phase

Experimental: Apremilast 30 mg - 30 mg Apremilast tablets administered twice a day for 24 weeks during the placebo-controlled phase followed by 30 mg Apremilast tablets administered twice a day for up to 4.5 years in the active treatment / long-term safety phase orally twice daily

Placebo comparator: Placebo + 20 mg Apremilast - Placebo + 20 mg Apremilast tablets administered twice daily for 24 weeks during the placebo-controlled phase followed by 20 mg Apremilast tablets administered twice daily for up to 4.5 years in the active treatment / long-term safety phase. Subjects who do not have at least 20% improvement in their swollen and tender joint counts at Week 16 will escape to 20 mg Apremilast twice daily at Week 16

Placebo comparator: Placebo + 30 mg Apremilast - Placebo + 30 mg Apremilast tablets administered twice daily for 24 weeks during the placebo-controlled phase followed by 30 mg Apremilast tablets administered twice daily for up to 4.5 years in the active treatment / long-term safety phase. Subjects who do not have at least 20% improvement in their swollen and tender joint counts at Week 16 will escape to 30 mg Apremilast twice daily at Week 16.

Data sharing statement
Will individual participant data (IPD) for this trial be available (including data dictionaries)?
Yes
What data in particular will be shared?
De-identified individual patient data for variables necessary to address the specific research question in an approved data sharing request

Supporting document/s available: Study protocol, Statistical analysis plan (SAP), Informed consent form (ICF), Clinical study report (CSR)
When will data be available (start and end dates)?
Data sharing requests relating to this study will be considered beginning 18 months after the study has ended and either 1) the product and indication have been granted marketing authorization in both the US and Europe or 2) clinical development for the product and/or indication discontinues and the data will not be submitted to regulatory authorities. There is no end date for eligibility to submit a data sharing request for this study.
Available to whom?
Qualified researchers may submit a request containing the research objectives, the Amgen product(s) and Amgen study/studies in scope, endpoints/outcomes of interest, statistical analysis plan, data requirements, publication plan, and qualifications of the researcher(s). In general, Amgen does not grant external requests for individual patient data for the purpose of re-evaluating safety and efficacy issues already addressed in the product labelling. Requests are reviewed by a committee of internal advisors. If not approved, a Data Sharing Independent Review Panel will arbitrate and make the final decision. Upon approval, information necessary to address the research question will be provided under the terms of a data sharing agreement. This may include anonymized individual patient data and/or available supporting documents, containing fragments of analysis code where provided in analysis specifications. Further details are available at the URL below.
Available for what types of analyses?
