Overview
Brief Summary
Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease causing pain, stiffness, swelling and loss of joint function. RA can reduce the ability to perform everyday tasks. This study assesses whether C-reactive protein (CRP)-level has an impact on achieving remission with upadacitinib when used alone or in combination with methotrexate (MTX). This study will also assess the reduction in pain, morning stiffness, fatigue, functionality, health status and impact of RA.
CRP is an indicator of inflammation and often used for disease activity monitoring during RA treatment. Upadacitinib is a Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor indicated for the treatment of adults with moderately to severely active RA who have had an inadequate response or intolerance to methotrexate. This study has two groups - upadacitinib monotherapy and combination. Adult participants with moderate to severe RA will be enrolled. Around 500 participants will be enrolled in the study in multiple sites within Germany.
Participants will receive upadacitinib alone or in combination with MTX per their physicians' usual prescription. Individual data will be collected for 12 months.
No additional study-related tests will be conducted during the routine physician visits. Only data which are routinely collected during a regular visit will be utilized for this study.
