About this trial
The goal of this clinical study is to learn more about the study drug GS-0151. The study is done to find how safe, well-tolerated the drug is. This will also assess how the drug is absorbed, modified, distributed and cleared from the body (the pharmacokinetics (PK) of the drug), when given multiple times to participants with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
The primary objectives of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of multiple ascending doses of GS-0151 in participants with RA and to characterize the PK of GS-0151 following multiple doses of GS-0151 in participants with RA.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Individuals must not be on a biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (b/tsDMARD) on Day 1 and must have discontinued all b/tsDMARDs (including biosimilars and generics) at least 4 weeks prior to Day 1 with the exception of B cell-depleting agents (eg, rituximab), which must be discontinued for at least 6 months prior to Day 1.
Use of oral, intramuscular (IM), or subcutaneous(ly) (SC) methotrexate 7.5 to 25 mg/week. Individuals on methotrexate must be receiving folic or folinic acid supplementation at a stable dose.
Oral hydroxychloroquine ≤ 400 mg/day or chloroquine ≤ 250 mg/day.
Oral sulfasalazine 1 to 3 g/day.
Disqualifiers
Have a diagnosis of any generalized musculoskeletal disorder that would interfere with study procedures or assessments per the discretion of the investigator.
History of opportunistic infection or immunodeficiency syndrome that would put the individual at risk, as per investigator's judgment.
Active infection that is clinically significant, per investigator's judgment, or any infection requiring hospitalization or treatment with intravenous anti-infectives within 60 days of screening; or any infection requiring oral anti-infective therapy within 30 days of screening.
History of or current moderate to severe congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association class III or IV), or within the last 6 months prior to screening.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Cohort 1, 2 and 3: Percentage of Participants Experiencing Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)
Cohort 1, 2 and 3: Percentage of Participants Experiencing Treatment-Emergent Laboratory Abnormalities
Cohorts 1, 2 and 3: Percentage of Participants Experiencing Serous Adverse Events (SAEs) and Adverse Events (AEs) Leading to Study Discontinuation
Cohort 1, 2 and 3: Serum AUCtau Following the Last Dose of GS-0151
AUCtau is defined as the area under the serum concentration versus time curve over the dosing interval.
Secondary outcomes
Cohorts 1, 2, and 3: Percentage of Participants with Antidrug Antibodies (ADAs) During the Study
Cohort 3: Change From Baseline in Disease Activity Score for 28 Joint Count Using C-Reactive Protein (DAS28-CRP) at Week 12 in Participants With Moderately to Severely Active RA
The DAS28-CRP Score comprises tender joint count and swollen joint count based on a 28 joint assessment; patient's global assessment of disease activity and CRP. The DAS28-CRP Score is a measure of the participant's disease activity calculated using the tender joint counts (28 joints), swollen joint counts (28 joints), Patient's Global Assessment of Disease Activity (visual analog scale: 0 = no disease activity to 100 = maximum disease activity), and hsCRP (CRP=hsCRP) for a total possible score of 1 to 9.4. Higher values indicate higher disease activity.
