What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Ranking of PCS scores according to the underlying disorders (10 predefined categories), and also ranking of RAPID-3 scores according to the underlying disorders (10 predefined categories).

    Composite score: RAPID3 (0-30) and PCS (0-52) are widely used scales, suitable for routine fulfillment by outpatients.

    Time frame: At least one month for each physician, and at least 30 patients in each category (whatever the physician seen).

Secondary outcomes

  1. Ranking of correlations between RAPID3 and Pain catastrophizing scale (PCS) (13 items) scores in the 10 subsets of categories listed above (from the strongest correlation to the lowest correlation)

    RAPID3 (0-30) and PCS (0-52) are widely used scales, suitable for routine fulfillment by outpatients

    Time frame: At least one month for each physician, and at least 30 patients in each category (whatever the physician seen).

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Jul 2017 to primary completion in Jan 2018, 6 months.

Of 234 non-industry observational studies under Arthritis, Rheumatoid, half reached primary completion within 43 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 20 and three quarters within 145. This study's 6 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 389 studies reached it within 50 months; a quarter within 25 and three quarters within 113.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Sep 21, 2021, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
