This was a long-term extension (LTE) study to assess the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of ABBV-105 (elsubrutinib \[ELS\]) and ABBV-599 (ELS 60 mg and upadacitinib \[UPA\] 15 mg) in participants with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who completed Study M16-063 (NCT03682705).
This was a Phase 2, double-blind, multicenter, long-term extension (LTE) study to assess the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of 3 doses of ABBV-105 (elsubrutinib \[ELS\] 5 mg, 20 mg, and 60 mg) and ABBV-599 (ELS 60 mg and upadacitinib \[UPA\] 15 mg) in adults with active rheumatoid arthritis with inadequate response or intolerance to biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (bDMARDs). Participants who successfully completed treatment in the feeder Study M16-063, a Phase 2 dose exploratory study, were eligible to participate in this study. Those who met eligibility criteria and entered this study receiving ELS, ABBV-599, or UPA from Study M16-063 continued on their previously assigned treatment through termination of this study. Participants originally randomized to placebo in Study M16-063 rolled over to ABBV-599 in a blinded fashion in this study.

Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs)
An adverse event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. The investigator assesses the relationship of each event to the use of study drug as either having a reasonable possibility or no reasonable possibility. A serious adverse event (SAE) is an event that results in death, is life-threatening, requires or prolongs hospitalization, results in a congenital anomaly, persistent or significant disability/incapacity or is an important medical event that, based on medical judgment, may jeopardize the participant and may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent any of the outcomes listed above. Treatment-emergent adverse events/treatment-emergent serious adverse events (TEAEs/TESAEs) are defined as any event that began or worsened in severity after the first dose of study drug.
Time frame: On or after the first dose of study drug in Study M16-763, and up to 30 days after the last dose of study drug in Study M16-763, up to 52 weeks
Change in Disease Activity Score 28 C-reactive Protein (DAS28-CRP) From Baseline of Study M16-063 at Each Study Visit in Study M16-763
The DAS28-CRP is a composite index used to assess rheumatoid arthritis disease activity, calculated based on the tender joint count (out of 28 evaluated joints), swollen joint count (out of 28 evaluated joints), Patient's Global Assessment of Disease Activity (0-100 mm), and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP; in mg/L). Scores on the DAS28-CRP range from 0 to approximately 10, where higher scores indicate more disease activity. A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement in disease activity.
Time frame: Baseline in Study M16-063, Weeks 18, 24, 30, 36, 48, and 60 in Study M16-763
Percentage of Participants Achieving Low Disease Activity (LDA) Based on Disease Activity Score 28 C-reactive Protein (DAS28-CRP)
The DAS28-CRP is a composite index used to assess rheumatoid arthritis disease activity, calculated based on the tender joint count (out of 28 evaluated joints), swollen joint count (out of 28 evaluated joints), Patient's Global Assessment of Disease Activity (0-100 mm), and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP; in mg/L). Scores on the DAS28-CRP range from 0 to approximately 10, where higher scores indicate more disease activity. Low Disease Activity (LDA) based on DAS28 (CRP) is defined as achieving a DAS28 (CRP) of less than or equal to 3.2.

Scores were averaged to provide an overall score ranging from 0 to 3, where 0 represents no disability and 3 represents very severe, high-dependency disability. A negative change from baseline in the overall score indicates improvement.
