Study in Patients With Moderated to Severe Rheumatoid Arthritis Who Have Failed to Combination Therapy of Conventional Disease-modifying Antirheumatic Drugs (cDMARDs) to cDMARD Plus ANti-TNF Versus cDMARDs in Real World

Completed
Conditions
Arthritis, Rheumatoid
Registration Number
NCT03264703
Lead Sponsor
Eisai Korea Inc.
Brief Summary

This study will be conducted to observe the disease activity change of Conventional Disease Modifying Anti-Rheumatic Drugs (cDMARD) plus anti-tumour necrosis factor (anti-TNF) from baseline to 6 months compared with cDMARDs, as measured by the disease activity score with the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (DAS28-ESR).

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change from Baseline in the disease activity score 28-erythrocyte sedimentation rate DAS28-ESR at Month 6Baseline; Month 6

DAS28 is a quantitative tool used to measure and monitor disease activity and "the treatment" of rheumatoid arthritis. DAS28 uses a formula that includes the number of tender joints and swollen joints for a maximum of 28 joints. DAS28 is used to assess whether an individual participant has a significant improvement of the disease activity, compared to baseline. A DAS28 score greater than 5.1 implies active disease, a score less than 3.2 implies low disease activity, and a score less than 2.6 implies remission.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Scores on the Korean Health Assessment Questionnaire (KHAQ-20), as a measure of quality of lifeUp to 12 months

The KHAQ-20 is a participant-assessed measure of health assessment comprised of 8 indices. Scores for each index range from 0 (no difficulty to do) to 3 (unable to do). The total score is a sum of the 8 index score and ranges from 0 to 24. Higher scores indicate more severe disease.

Change from Baseline in the DAS28-ESR at Month 3Baseline; Month 3

DAS28 is a quantitative tool used to measure and monitor disease activity and "the treatment" of rheumatoid arthritis. DAS28 uses a formula that includes the number of tender joints and swollen joints for a maximum of 28 joints. DAS28 is used to assess whether an individual participant has a significant improvement of the disease activity, compared to baseline. A DAS28 score greater than 5.1 implies active disease, a score less than 3.2 implies low disease activity, and a score less than 2.6 implies remission.

Change from Baseline in the DAS28-ESR at Month 12Baseline; Month 12

DAS28 is a quantitative tool used to measure and monitor disease activity and "the treatment" of rheumatoid arthritis. DAS28 uses a formula that includes the number of tender joints and swollen joints for a maximum of 28 joints. DAS28 is used to assess whether an individual participant has a significant improvement of the disease activity, compared to baseline. A DAS28 score greater than 5.1 implies active disease, a score less than 3.2 implies low disease activity, and a score less than 2.6 implies remission.

Clinical remission rate measured by DAS28-ESRUp to 12 months

Clinical remission is defined as no tender or swollen joints and a normal erythrocyte sedimentation rate. DAS28 will be used to measure disease activity.

Success rates of dose-reduction and discontinuation of steroid(s)Up to 12 months

Dose reduction is defined as a reduction by more than 50% compared to baseline.
