What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Proportion of subjects achieving a "good" or "moderate" DAS28 response (as defined by EULAR28 criteria) at Week 16.

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Proportion of subjects who achieve ACR 20, 50, and 70 responses at Weeks 8 and 16.

  2. Proportion of subjects who achieve good or moderate DAS28 response at Week 8 and the proportion who achieve remission (DAS28 less than 2.6) at Weeks 8 and 16

  3. Absolute and percent changes from baseline in components of the ACR and DAS28 criteria (including HAQ) at Weeks 8 and 16.

  4. Absolute changes from baseline in SF-36 and Valued Life Activities at Weeks 8 and 16

  5. Subject incidence rate of SAEs over 16 weeks

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 8 inclusion and 7 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 13 Nov 2009. 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?

Proportion of subjects achieving a "good" or "moderate" DAS28 response (as defined by EULAR28 criteria) at Week 16.. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00099554, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 13 Nov 2009.
