Open-Label Study Comparing Etanercept to Conventional Disease Modifying Antirheumatic Drug (DMARD) Therapy
- Conditions
- Rheumatoid Arthritis
- Registration Number
- NCT00848354
- Lead Sponsor
- Pfizer
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this 2 phased, open-label study is to compare the safety and efficacy of etanercept with conventional Disease Modifying Antirheumatic Drug (DMARD) therapy in Latin American subjects with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis over 128 weeks. Phase 1 is a randomized 24 week treatment period; Phase 2 is an optional open-label 104 week period that allows the investigator to choose continuation with the phase I treatment or the addition, discontinuation or titration of other DMARD therapy already being utilized for the study.

HAQ score range: 0-3: without any difficulty: 0, with some difficulty: 1, with much difficulty: 2, unable to do: 3. HAQ total scores expressed as overall mean score with range 0-3: 0-0.25: normal functioning; 0.25-0.5: mild functional limitation; 0.5-1: moderate functional limitation; more than 1: significant functional limitation.

Each joint is rated as either painful or not painful with the total number of painful joints reported as the score. Score range is from 0-68 with lower scores indicating the better outcome.
Change From Baseline in Van Der Heijde Modified Total Sharp Score (vdH mTSS), Annualized, at Week 24 Baseline and Week 24 mTSS: sum of erosion and joint space narrowing (JSN) scores for 44 joints (16 per hand and 6 per foot). mTSS scores ranged from 0 (normal) to 448 (worst possible total score). Each x-ray visit included 4 films, each of which were read by 2 readers. The mTSS was calculated by the images scored for erosions and JSN. An increase in mTSS from Baseline represented disease progression and/or joint worsening, no change represented halting of disease progression, and a decrease represented improvement.

DAS28\<3.2 indicates low disease activity and DAS28\<2.6 remission.

Domain scores range from 0-100, with greater scores reflecting better health status. Two additional overall summary scores - physical and mental component scores - were also obtained. Summary scores are standardized where the general population mean is 50 with a standard deviation of 10. Greater scores again indicate better health status.
