Study summary

The main aim of this study is to ascertain general satisfaction among participants with rheumatic diseases with day-to-day use of the Benepali® prefilled pen by means of a standardised participant questionnaire. In addition, it is to be investigated whether differences exist in general participant satisfaction between participant groups who have undergone various prior treatment and/or have previous experience with application systems (participants new to the use of biologics, participants changing over from a prefilled injection or changing over from another pre-filled pen) and between participants of the various indication groups. Furthermore, the participants are to evaluate various aspects of using the Benepali® pre-filled pen based on their personal experience, such as e.g. handling, user-friendliness and features of the Benepali® pre-filled pen, as well as the effectiveness of the training on injection with the Benepali® pre-filled pen, based on participant satisfaction with the training received with the training pen and the evaluation of the training material received.

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 Oct 23, 2018, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
