- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Proportion of Patients Who Met the ACR20 Responder Index Criteria 12 weeks Proportion of Patients Who Met the American College of Rheumatology Response Index (20%) Criteria (ACR20) (Based on the Time-Weighted Average Responses of the 12-Week Treatment I Period and Completed the Treatment I Period) (All Patients-Treated Population)
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Tender Joint Count (Out of 68 Joints) Time-Weighted Average Change From Baseline (Flare/Randomization Visit) in the 12-Week Treatment Period (All Patients-Treated Population) Time-weighted average change from baseline across Weeks 2, 7, and 12 Investigator Global Assessment of Disease Activity (0- to 4-Likert Scale) Time Weighted Average Change From Baseline (Flare/Randomization Visit) in the 12-Week Treatment I Period (All Patients-Treated Population) Time-weighted average change from baseline across Weeks 2, 7, and 12 0 indicates very well, 4 indicates very poor.
Swollen Joint Count (Out of 66 Joints) Time-Weighted Average Change From Baseline (Flare/Randomization Visit) in the 12-Week Treatment Period (All Patients-Treated Population) Time-weighted average change from baseline across Weeks 2, 7, and 12 Patient Global Assessment of Pain (0- to 100-mm Visual Analog Scale) Time Weighted Average Change From Baseline (Flare/Randomization Visit) in the 12-Week Treatment I Period (All Patients-Treated Population) Time-weighted average change from baseline across Weeks 2, 7, and 12 0-mm indicates very well, 100-mm indicates very poor.
Patient Global Assessment of Disease Activity (0- to 100-mm Visual Analog Scale) Time Weighted Average Change From Baseline (Flare/Randomization Visit) in the 12-Week Treatment I Period (All Patients-Treated Population) Time-weighted average change from baseline across Weeks 2, 7, and 12 0-mm indicates very well, 100-mm indicates very poor.
