简要总结
The 12-week core study was designed to evaluate risk-benefit of three subcutaneous dose regimens of ACZ885, added on to stable methotrexate (MTX) therapy (greater than or equal to 7.5 mg/week), compared to placebo in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The study investigated the magnitude of effect as well as onset of effect for the different dose regimens.
The primary objective of the extension studies was to assess long-term safety and tolerability of canakinumab (ACZ885) in patients with active RA. CACZ885A2201E1 evaluated this objective in patients who had participated in the core study (CACZ885A2201) and CACZ885A2201E2 did the same in patients who completed the first extension study.

结局指标
主要结局
Percentage of American College of Rheumatology [ACR] 50 Criteria Responders at Week 12
时间窗: Baseline and Week 12
Participants were defined as ACR50 responders if they had at least a 50% improvement from Baseline in both the tender and the swollen 28-joint count, and in at least 3 of the following 5 measures: * Patient's pain assessment (assessed using a 100 mm Visual Analog Scale \[VAS\]); * Patient's global assessment of disease activity (VAS 100 mm); * Physician's global assessment of disease activity (VAS 100 mm); * Patient self-assessed disability (Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) score); * Acute phase reactant (high sensitivity C-reactive Protein \[hsCRP\]). Details on each of these components are provided in Outcome Measures 10-16. Participants were considered as non-responders if they failed the ACR50 criteria. Participants who prematurely discontinued due to insufficient therapeutic effect were also considered non-responders.
Percentage of American College of Rheumatology [ACR] 20 Criteria Responders During the Extension Phase
时间窗: Baseline and Weeks 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 88, 100, 112 and 124
Participants were defined as ACR20 responders if they had at least a 20% improvement from Baseline in both the tender and the swollen 28-joint count, and in at least 3 of the following 5 measures: * Patient's pain assessment (assessed using a 100 mm Visual Analog Scale \[VAS\]) * Patient's global assessment of disease activity (VAS 100 mm) * Physician's global assessment of disease activity (VAS 100 mm) * Patient self-assessed disability (Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) score) * Acute phase reactant (high sensitivity C-reactive Protein \[hsCRP\]). Participants were considered as non-responders if they failed the ACR20 criteria. Participants who prematurely discontinued due to insufficient therapeutic effect were also considered non-responders.

Participants were defined as ACR50 responders if they had at least a 50% improvement from Baseline in both the tender and the swollen 28-joint count, and in at least 3 of the following 5 measures: * Patient's pain assessment (assessed using a 100 mm Visual Analog Scale \[VAS\]) * Patient's global assessment of disease activity (VAS 100 mm) * Physician's global assessment of disease activity (VAS 100 mm) * Patient self-assessed disability (Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) score) * Acute phase reactant (high sensitivity C-reactive Protein \[hsCRP\]).

Change From Baseline in Disease Activity Score (DAS) 28 During the Extension Phase
时间窗: Baseline and Weeks 24, 72 and 112
The Disease Activity Score (DAS) 28 is a combined index to measure the disease activity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, and includes the following variables: * The number of swollen and tender joints assessed using the 28-joint count; * C-reactive protein (CRP) in mg/L; * Patient's global assessment of disease activity measured on a 100 mm visual analog scale. The DAS28 score ranges from zero to ten. DAS28 above 5.1 means high disease activity whereas a DAS28 below 3.2 indicates low disease activity. Remission is achieved by a DAS28 lower than 2.6
