What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of Participants That Met Sustained Remission at Week 76 and Week 91 Based on DAS28 Score

    Sustained remission was defined as a DAS28 \<2.6 at the Week 76 and Week 91 visits without requiring a corticosteroid boost between the Week 52 and Week 64 visits, where the requirement for a corticosteroid boost was defined as a value of DAS28 \>3.2 at either the Week 56 or Week 64 visit. DAS28 calculated from the number of swollen joints (SJC) and painful joints (PJC) using the 28 joints count, the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) (millimeters per hour \[mm/hour\]) and patient's global assessment (PGA) of disease activity. The participants who met sustained remission in both Week 76 and 91 are presented here.

    Time frame: 76 and 91 weeks

Secondary outcomes

  1. Number of Participants Achieving Complete Response (Using Disease Activity Score Based on 28-joint Count, Modified Total Sharp Score, Health Assessment Questionnaire)

    The composite measure of complete response over the last 3 months of Phase 1 was defined as: 1. DAS28 \<2.6 at the week 39 and 52 visits and, 2. No radiographic progression during Phase 1, defined as mean change in modified total Sharp score (mTSS) ≤0.5 and, 3. Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) ≤ 0.5 at the week 39 and week 52 visits

    Time frame: End of Phase 1

  2. Change From Baseline in Modified Total Sharp Score (mTSS) at Week 52 and Final on Therapy

    mTSS = sum of erosion and Joint Space Narrowing (JSN) scores for 44 joints (16 per hand and 6 per foot). mTSS scores ranged from 0 (normal) to 448 (worst possible total score). Change: scores at observation minus score at baseline. An increase in mTSS from baseline. An increase in mTSS from baseline represented disease progression and/or joint worsening, no change represented halting of disease progression, and a decrease represented improvement.

    Time frame: 52 week and Final on Therapy (includes all visits for a participant up to Week 52 or the visit they discontinued at)

  3. Change From Baseline in Work Productivity and Activity Impairment (WPAI) Questionnaire: Percent Overall Work Impairment Due to Problem

    WPAI:6 question participant rated questionnaire to determine the degree to which rheumatoid arthritis affected work productivity while at work and affected activities outside of work. Four scores are derived:percentage of absenteeism, percentage of presenteeism (reduced productivity while at work),overall work impairment score that combined absenteeism and presenteeism and percentage of impairment in activities performed outside of work. Scores scaled as 0 (not affected/no impairment) to 10 (completely affected/impaired). Higher scores indicated greater impairment and less productivity. The raw scores (0-10) are converted to percents (the variable is named "Percent impairment While Working") and as such range from 0 to 100.

Outcome measures

PrimaryNumber of Participants That Met Sustained Remission at Week 76 and Week 91 Based on DAS28 Score

Sustained remission was defined as a DAS28 \<2.6 at the Week 76 and Week 91 visits without requiring a corticosteroid boost between the Week 52 and Week 64 visits, where the requirement for a corticosteroid boost was defined as a value of DAS28 \>3.2 at either the Week 56 or Week 64 visit. DAS28 calculated from the number of swollen joints (SJC) and painful joints (PJC) using the 28 joints count, the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) (millimeters per hour \[mm/hour\]) and patient's global assessment (PGA) of disease activity. The participants who met sustained remission in both Week 76 and 91 are presented here.

SecondaryNumber of Participants Achieving Complete Response (Using Disease Activity Score Based on 28-joint Count, Modified Total Sharp Score, Health Assessment Questionnaire)

The composite measure of complete response over the last 3 months of Phase 1 was defined as: 1. DAS28 \<2.6 at the week 39 and 52 visits and, 2. No radiographic progression during Phase 1, defined as mean change in modified total Sharp score (mTSS) ≤0.5 and, 3. Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) ≤ 0.5 at the week 39 and week 52 visits

SecondaryChange From Baseline in Modified Total Sharp Score (mTSS) at Week 52 and Final on Therapy

mTSS = sum of erosion and Joint Space Narrowing (JSN) scores for 44 joints (16 per hand and 6 per foot). mTSS scores ranged from 0 (normal) to 448 (worst possible total score). Change: scores at observation minus score at baseline. An increase in mTSS from baseline. An increase in mTSS from baseline represented disease progression and/or joint worsening, no change represented halting of disease progression, and a decrease represented improvement.

SecondaryChange From Baseline in Work Productivity and Activity Impairment (WPAI) Questionnaire: Percent Overall Work Impairment Due to Problem

WPAI:6 question participant rated questionnaire to determine the degree to which rheumatoid arthritis affected work productivity while at work and affected activities outside of work. Four scores are derived:percentage of absenteeism, percentage of presenteeism (reduced productivity while at work),overall work impairment score that combined absenteeism and presenteeism and percentage of impairment in activities performed outside of work. Scores scaled as 0 (not affected/no impairment) to 10 (completely affected/impaired). Higher scores indicated greater impairment and less productivity. The raw scores (0-10) are converted to percents (the variable is named "Percent impairment While Working") and as such range from 0 to 100.

No radiographic progression during Phase 2, defined as mean change from Week 52 in mTSS of ≤0.5. 3. Participant must achieve HAQ score ≤0.5 at Week 76 and 91 visits. HAQ is self-reported, valid assessment of functional disability in rheumatoid arthritis. Assessed based on ability of participants to perform daily activities in 8 categories: dressing, arising, eating, walking, reaching, gripping, hygiene, and carrying out daily activities. HAQ score range: 0-3: without any difficulty=0, with some difficulty=1, with much difficulty=2, unable to do=3. HAQ total scores expressed as overall mean score with range 0-3: 0-0.25=normal functioning; 0.25-0.5=mild functional limitation; 0.5-1=moderate functional limitation; more than 1=significant functional limitation.A subject had to satisfy all 3 criteria at thevisits to be defined as a responder

SecondaryWork Productivity and Activity Impairment (WPAI) Questionnaire: Percent Work Time Missed in the Past 7 Days Due to Problem

WPAI: 6 question participant rated questionnaire to determine the degree to which rheumatoid arthritis affected work productivity while at work and affected activities outside of work. Four scores are derived: percentage of absenteeism, percentage of presenteeism (reduced productivity while at work), an overall work impairment score that combined absenteeism and presenteeism and percentage of impairment in activities performed outside of work. Scores scaled as 0 (not affected/no impairment) to 10 (completely affected/impaired). Higher scores indicated greater impairment and less productivity. The raw (0-10) scores are converted to percents (the variable is named "Percent impairment While Working") and as such range from 0 to 100.

SecondaryChange From Baseline in WPAI Questionnaire: Percent Work Time Missed in the Past 7 Days Due to Problem

WPAI is a 6 question participant rated questionnaire determined the degree to which rheumatoid arthritis affected work productivity while at work and affected activities outside of work. Scores scaled as 0 (not affected/no impairment) to 10 (completely affected/impaired). Higher scores = greater impairment and less productivity. The raw (0-10) scores were converted to percent (the variable is named "Percent impairment While Working") and as such range from 0 to 100.

SecondaryWPAI Questionnaire: Percent Impairment While Working in the Past 7 Days Due to Problem

WPAI: 6 question participant rated questionnaire to determine the degree to which rheumatoid arthritis affected work productivity while at work and affected activities outside of work. Four scores are derived: percentage of absenteeism, percentage of presenteeism (reduced productivity while at work), an overall work impairment score that combined absenteeism and presenteeism and percentage of impairment in activities performed outside of work. Scores scaled as 0 (not affected/no impairment) to 10 (completely affected/impaired). Higher scores indicated greater impairment and less productivity. The raw (0-10) scores are converted to percents (the variable is named "Percent impairment While Working") and as such range from 0 to 100.
