About this trial

A Randomized, Placebo-controlled, Multicenter, Study to Evaluate the Impact of Upadacitinib on Spondyloarthritis Outcomes in Patients with Active Psoriatic Arthritis (UP-SPOUT)

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Subject ≥18 of age at the screening visit.

Subject must be able to understand and willing to adhere to all protocol requirements and voluntarily sign and date an informed consent, approved by an Independent Ethics Committee (IEC)/institutional review board (IRB), prior to the initiation of any screening or study-specific procedures.

Diagnosis of PsA by their treating rheumatologist.

Evidence of axial involvement (e.g., active inflammation, structural changes) that has been demonstrated by previous imaging techniques (e.g., radiography, MRI, CT), is considered indicative of axial disease by central reader assessment (2 readers and adjudicator).

Disqualifiers

If subjects are currently taking bioDMARD therapy, they may be recruited after an appropriate wash-out period of bioDMARD prior to the screening MRI. Prior exposure to a bioDMARD is allowed for no more than 75 subjects, and prior exposure to a 2nd bioDMARD is allowed for no more than 30 subjects (one bioDMARD must include TNFi for US patients). Washout periods are as follows: 4 weeks for Etanercept, 8 weeks for Infliximab, 10 weeks for Adalimumab, Golimumab, Certolizumab and Ixekizumab, 12 weeks for Ustekinumab, Secukinumab, Guselkumab, and Abatacept, and 20 weeks for Risankizumab. However, subjects should not stop their previous successful biological therapy only to be included in this study. For patients intolerant to bioDMARD and not on such treatment a washout period may not be necessary.

Active infection(s) requiring treatment with parenteral anti-infectives within 30 days, or oral anti-infectives within 14 days prior to the baseline Visit; Chronic recurring infection and/or active viral infection that based on the investigator's clinical assessment makes the subject an unsuitable candidate for the study.

Confirmed COVID-19: the baseline visit must be at least 14 days from onset of signs/symptoms or positive SARS-CoV-2 test; symptomatic subjects must have recovered, defined as resolution of fever without use of antipyretics and improvement in symptoms;

Suspected COVID-19: subjects with signs/symptoms suggestive of COVID-19, known exposure, or high-risk behavior should undergo molecular (e.g., PCR) testing to rule out SARS-CoV-2 infection or must be asymptomatic for 14 days from a potential exposure;
