Comparing the Effectiveness of a Treat-to-target (T2T) Disease Management Strategy vs. Routine Care (RC) in Adult Patients With Moderate to Severe Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) Treated With Subcutaneous Abatacept (Orencia - SC)

Completed
Conditions
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Interventions
Other: Non-Interventional
Registration Number
NCT03274141
Lead Sponsor
Bristol-Myers Squibb
Brief Summary

This is a 12 month prospective, multicenter, post-marketing, observational study to compare the effectiveness of a treat-to-target (T2T) disease management strategy vs. routine care (RC) in adult patients with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis (RA) treated with subcutaneous abatacept (Orencia - SC). Patients completing the study will be offered to participate in a 12-month extension of their follow-up provided that this is in agreement with the judgment of the treating physician.
