A Study Investigating the Efficacy and Safety of BGB-45035 Versus Placebo in Adults With Moderate to Severe Active Rheumatoid Arthritis

A Phase 2, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of BGB-45035 Versus Placebo in Patients With Moderate to Severe Active Rheumatoid Arthritis

This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of BGB-45035 in adults with moderate to severe active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who have had an inadequate response to conventional synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (csDMARDs) or biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (bDMARDs)/targeted synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (tsDMARDs).

Inclusion Criteria:

• Diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) based on American College of Rheumatology (ACR)/European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) criteria for at least 3 months prior to screening
• Demonstrated an inadequate response to, or loss of response or intolerance to at least 1 conventional synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (csDMARD) (Hydroxychloroquine, methotrexate [MTX], leflunomide, or sulfasalazine) or 1 biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (bDMARD)/targeted synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (tsDMARD) treatment
• Must be on stable dose of one of the following permitted therapies for ≥ 4 weeks prior to screening and during the study: methotrexate between 7.5 mg to 25 mg/week, hydroxychloroquine up to 400 mg/day, leflunomide up to 20 mg/day, or sulfasalazine between 1000 mg/day to 3000 mg/day

Exclusion Criteria:

• Class IV RA based on American College of Rheumatology revised criteria for classification of functional status in rheumatoid arthritis
• Patients with a history of cancer in the last 5 years before the Screening Visit, with the exception of adequately treated basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin
• Have failed more than 2 b/tsDMARDs (eg, excluded if have failed 2 bDMARDs and 1 tsDMARD)
