Registration Number
NCT04582084
Lead Sponsor
AryoGen Pharmed Co.
Brief Summary

In this open-label, multi-center, observational, post-marketing surveillance study, patients with ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis, or rheumatoid arthritis received biosimilar etanercept 25 mg twice weekly or 50 mg once weekly in real-world settings. Safety and effectiveness of biosimilar etanercept were evaluated in study participants for a duration of up to 12 months.

Detailed Description

In this open-label, multi-center, observational, post-marketing surveillance study, patients with ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis, or rheumatoid arthritis received biosimilar etanercept 25 mg twice weekly or 50 mg once weekly in real-world settings. Safety and effectiveness of biosimilar etanercept were evaluated in study participants for a duration of up to 12 months. Patient information was recorded in four notebooks, and each notebook had three sections, one section for each month. The first section of notebook I contained demographic information, pregnancy and lactation status in female patients, cigarette smoking and alcohol consumption, and past medical history. All safety and effectiveness outcomes were recorded at the appropriate sections of the notebooks.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Safety: incidence of adverse eventsThroughout the study period (up to 12 months for each patient)

All adverse events, including serious adverse events, are reported using system organ classes and preferred terms of the medical dictionary for regulatory activities (MedDRA Desktop Browser 4.0 Beta).

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Pain scoreBaseline, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months

Pain assessment is performed on a scale of 0 to 10, with higher scores indicating greater pain.

Health assessment questionnaire (HAQ)-scoreBaseline, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months

Health assessment questionnaire (HAQ) is a functional test used in patients with a wide variety of rheumatic diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and psoriatic arthritis. HAQ score ranges from 0 to 3, with higher scores indicating more severe functional disability.

Patient global assessments of disease activity (PGA)3, 6, 9, and 12 months

Patient global assessment of disease activity (PGA) is a very common patient reported outcome measure used in rheumatic disorders. PGA assessment is performed on a scale of 0 to 10, with higher scores indicating higher disease activity.

Physician global assessment of disease activity (PhGA)3, 6, 9, and 12 months

Physician global assessment of disease activity (PhGA) is used to assess disease severity by physicians. PhGA assessment is performed on a scale of 0 to 10, with higher scores indicating higher disease activity.
