Overview

Bucillamine (Bc) is a cysteine derivative with two SH groups, and a homolog of D-penicillamine, a disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD) widely used in Japan. Bucillamine is a low molecular weight thiol antioxidant that is capable of rapidly entering cells.

Change From Baseline at Week 52 in Disease Activity Score for 28 Joints Based on C-Reactive Protein (DAS28-CRP)

DAS28-CRP is a composite score that contains 4 variables: TJC (based on 28 joints), SJC (based on 28 joints), participant's assessment of general health on VAS (range 0 [very well] to 100 mm [extremely bad]) and CRP (mg/L). DAS28-CRP total score ranges from 2-10 with a lower score indicating less disease activity. A DAS28-CRP above 5.1 indicates high disease activity, whereas below 3.2 indicates low disease activity and below 2.6 as disease remission. (NCT02373202)

Change From Baseline in Health Assessment Questionnaire-Disability Index (HAQ-DI) Score at Week 52

HAQ-DI assessed the degree of difficulty participants experienced in 8 daily living activity domains during a week: dressing/grooming, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip, and other activities. Each activity category consisted of 2-3 items. Each items's difficulty was scored from 0-3 (0=no difficulty, 1=some difficulty, 2=much difficulty, 3=unable to do). Overall HAQ-DI score was computed as the sum of domain scores divided by the number of domains answered, providing a score from 0-3. Low scores denoted improvement of disability/lower degree of domain difficulty. (NCT02373202)

Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

Adverse event (AE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received IMP and did not necessary have to had a causal relationship with treatment. All AEs that occurred from the first dose of the IMP administration up to 6 weeks after last dose of treatment (up to Week 58) were considered as TEAEs. SAEs were AEs resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly or a medically important event. TEAEs included both SAEs and non-SAEs. (NCT02373202)

ACR response is a composite rating scale that includes 7 variables: tender joints count (TJC [68 joints]); swollen joints count (SJC [66 joints]); levels of an acute phase reactant (high sensitivity C-reactive protein [hs-CRP level]); participant's assessment of pain (measured on 0 [no pain]-100 mm [worst pain] visual analog scale [VAS]); participant's global assessment of disease activity (measured on 0 [no arthritis activity]-100 mm [maximal arthritis activity] VAS); physician's global assessment of disease activity (measured on 0 [no arthritis activity]-100 mm [maximal arthritis activity] VAS); participant's assessment of physical function (measured by Health Assessment Question-Disability Index [HAQ-DI], with scoring range of 0 [better health] - 3 [worst health]). ACR20/50/70 response is defined as at least 20/50/70% improvement in both TJC and SJC, and at least 20/50/70% improvement in at least 3 of the 5 other assessments, respectively. (NCT02373202)
