Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

ACR20 Response at Week 12
Baseline and 12 weeks

Evaluates the efficacy of LX3305 by utilizing the American College of Rheumatology 20% response criteria (ACR20) at 12 weeks in subjects with active RA also receiving stable doses of MTX. For a response of ACR20, there had to be ≥20% improvement in swollen joint count, ≥20% improvement in painful/tender joint count, and ≥20% improvement in at least 3 of the following: subject's assessment of pain, global assessment of disease activity, assessment of physical function, or acute phase reactant (C-reactive protein or erythrocyte sedimentation rate).

Frequently asked questions about LX3305

What is LX3305 used for?

LX3305 is an investigational small molecule being studied for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, an inflammatory joint disease. It has been evaluated in clinical trials in adults with active rheumatoid arthritis, including patients receiving stable methotrexate. LX3305 is not approved and remains in clinical development.

Who is developing LX3305?

LX3305 is being developed by Lexicon Pharmaceuticals, Inc., which trades on the Nasdaq under the ticker LXRX. The company sponsored the clinical trials evaluating LX3305 in rheumatoid arthritis.

What phase is LX3305 in?

LX3305 has reached Phase 2 development for rheumatoid arthritis. The Phase 2 trial, NCT00903383, enrolled 208 patients with active rheumatoid arthritis on stable methotrexate. All three listed LX3305 trials are completed, and no trials are currently active.

What clinical trials is LX3305 in?

Three completed trials have studied LX3305 in rheumatoid arthritis: NCT00903383, a Phase 2 study of 208 patients with active disease on stable methotrexate across the United States, Bulgaria, Czechia, Hungary, Poland and Serbia; NCT01417052, a Phase 1 study of 10 patients; and NCT00847886, a Phase 1 study of 15 patients combining LX3305 with methotrexate.

How was LX3305 studied in its rheumatoid arthritis trials?

The LX3305 trials were randomized, double-blind and placebo-controlled, enrolling a total of 233 participants across three completed studies. All trials enrolled adults aged 18 years and older with rheumatoid arthritis, and participants were not healthy volunteers. The Phase 2 trial tested LX3305 in patients on stable methotrexate.
