Change From Baseline in Synovitis as Assessed by Outcome Measures in Rheumatology (OMERACT) Rheumatoid Arthritis Magnetic Resonance Imaging Scoring System (RAMRIS) in the Most Affected Hand/Wrist
For synovitis a total of 8 joints were evaluated. Individual joint scores range from 0-3, where 0= normal, 1=mild, 2=moderate and 3=severe. The final synovitis score is the sum of the individual joint scores. Total score range from 0 (best) to 24 (worst). If an individual location is scored either 'Not Visible' or 'Surgically Modified' then the score for that location was set to missing. Missing joint scores was imputed as the mean of the non-missing joint scores. Baseline was defined at Day 1. Change from Baseline was calculated by subtracting the post-dose value from the Baseline value. Repeated measures analysis adjusted for synovitis score baseline value, treatment group, disease duration (<=2 or >2 years), visit and treatment group by visit interaction.

Change From Baseline in Synovitis as Assessed by Rheumatoid Arthritis MRI Quantitative (RAMRIQ) Assessment in the Most Affected Hand/Wrist
RAMRIQ is an automated volume quantification assessment. RAMRIQ assessed same pathologies and joints (except metacarpophalangeal joint [MCP1]) as RAMRIS allowing for direct comparison of results obtained using the two methods. Bones were automatically identified in pre-contrast, coronal T1 images using active appearance modelling (AAMs). Joint capsules and soft tissues were also segmented with AAMs, providing consistent 3D regions of interest (ROI) for synovial enhancement across all time points. Synovial volume was calculated as voxels that enhance within each ROI. Baseline was defined at Day 1. Change from Baseline was calculated by subtracting the post-dose value from the Baseline value. Repeated measures analysis adjusted for Synovitis baseline value, treatment group, disease duration (<=2 or >2 years), visit and treatment group by visit interaction. Only those participants with data available at the specified data points were analyzed (represented by n= X in the category titles).

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This study is designed to explore the activity of granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) signaling pathway in subjects with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), the potential impact of inhibition of this axis by GSK3196165, and to evaluate whether there are any differences in the GM-CSF axis between subjects with early RA compared with those with more established disease. This study also aims to establish the potential impact of GSK3196165 on inflammatory structural joint damage in the hand/wrist using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This is a randomized Phase IIa, multi-center, double-blind, placebo-controlled parallel group study. Approximately 40 subjects with active RA despite treatment with disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) (including conventional or biologic) will be randomized into the study, following a screening period of up to 6 weeks. The total treatment period is up to 10 weeks, with a 12-week follow-up period after the last dose (Week 22).

Change From Baseline in Synovitis as Assessed by Rheumatoid Arthritis MRI Quantitative (RAMRIQ) Assessment in the Most Affected Hand/Wrist
Description
RAMRIQ is an automated volume quantification assessment. RAMRIQ assessed same pathologies and joints (except metacarpophalangeal joint [MCP1]) as RAMRIS allowing for direct comparison of results obtained using the two methods. Bones were automatically identified in pre-contrast, coronal T1 images using active appearance modelling (AAMs). Joint capsules and soft tissues were also segmented with AAMs, providing consistent 3D regions of interest (ROI) for synovial enhancement across all time points. Synovial volume was calculated as voxels that enhance within each ROI. Baseline was defined at Day 1. Change from Baseline was calculated by subtracting the post-dose value from the Baseline value. Repeated measures analysis adjusted for Synovitis baseline value, treatment group, disease duration (<=2 or >2 years), visit and treatment group by visit interaction.
