Secondary study designRandomised controlled trial
Study type Participant information sheet
Scientific titleA randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase II study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of CCX354-C in subjects with rheumatoid arthritis partially responsive to methotrexate therapy
Study acronymCARAT-2
Study objectivesThat CCX354-C will be safe and well tolerabate by subjects with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who had an inadequate response to methotrexate treatment.
Ethics approval(s)The Ethics Committee of the University Hospital and Medical School, Leige (Comite d'Ethique Hospitalo-Facultaire Universitaire de Leige [707]) approved on the 26th August 2010 (ref: 2010/112)
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedRheumatoid arthritis
Intervention150 subjects with RA, partially responsive to methotrexate therapy will be randomised to one of the following treatment arms:
1. Placebo comparator: placebo tablet twice daily for 12 weeks + methotrexate
2. CCX354-C twice daily: 100 mg tablet twice daily for 12 weeks + methotrexate
3. CCX354-C once daily: 100 mg (2) tablets once daily for 12 weeks + methotrexate

To ensure patient safety, all patients will be followed for 28 days from the end of the intervention.
Intervention typeDrug
PhasePhase II
Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s)CCX354-C, methotrexate
Primary outcome measure(s)

Subject incidence of adverse events at 12 weeks

Key secondary outcome measure(s)

1. Disease Activity Score 28 using C-reactive protein (DAS28-CRP)
2. American College of Rheumatology (ACR) response criteria

All outcomes will be assessed at the end of the intervention period (12 weeks).

Completion date30/08/2011
