What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    Any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study treatment was considered an AE without regard to possibility of causal relationship. An AE resulting in any of the following outcomes, or deemed to be significant for any other reason, was considered to be a SAE: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; a life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly.

    Measured: Baseline up to Month 66

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Percentage of Participants With Completion of Study Treatment

    Measured: Month 12 through Month 72

  2. Change From Baseline in Number of Joints With Active Synovitis at Months 6, 12, 18, 30, 42, 54 and 66

    Synovitis was defined as the inflammation of a synovial (joint-lining) membrane, usually painful, particularly on motion, and characterized by swelling, due to effusion (fluid collection) in a synovial sac.

    Measured: Baseline, Months 6, 12, 18, 30, 42, 54 and 66

  3. Change From Baseline in Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) Score at Months 6, 12, 18, 30, 42, 54 and 66

    HAQ is a measure of functional limitations. Participants were rated on 4 point scale with scores as 'normal' (no difficulty = 0), 'adequate' (some difficulty = 1), 'limited' (much difficulty = 2), and 'unable to do' (= 3) based on degree of difficulty they experienced with 20 tasks grouped into 8 areas of dressing, rising, hygiene, reach, walking, eating, grip and activities. HAQ total possible score ranged from 0 (no difficulty) to 60 (unable to do).

    Measured: Baseline, Months 6, 12, 18, 30, 42, 54 and 66

  4. Mean Dose of Concomitant Methotrexate (MTX) and Steroids

    Measured: Baseline up to Month 66

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.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

What does the primary outcome measure?

Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) (time frame: Baseline up to Month 66). 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 23 Jan 2012.
