What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
The proportion of patients preferring the etanercept auto-injector to the etanercept pre-filled syringe.
Secondary outcomes (10)
The proportion of patients preferring the etanercept auto-injector to the etanercept pre-filled syringe as well as to the lyophilized preparation in the following categories:
Ease of use
Hand discomfort during the injection
Satisfaction with number of steps
Time involved with the injection
Nervousness with injection
Confidence with the injection
Convenience of use and
Overall preference with the auto-injector or pre-filled syringes compared to the lyophilized preparation.
To characterize the ability of patients to properly use by themselves either device independently and identify any sections of the instructions that were not clear, that may have led to loss of sterility to incomplete dosing

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 4 study testing Etanercept in people with Rheumatoid Arthritis, run by Amgen.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Dec 2008. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
The proportion of patients preferring the etanercept auto-injector to the etanercept pre-filled syringe.. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 5 Dec 2008.
