What is being measured

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

  1. Efficacy will be evaluated using the American College of Rheumatology response rate or ACR 20. This means the respective proportion of patients reaching an improvement of at least 20% of the ACR composite index from baseline.

    Measured: at 6 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. ACR 50 and ACR 70 will be assessed as respectively 50 and 70% improvement of the ACR composite index, quality of life by using SF36 questionnaire, Population Pharmacokinetics, Biomarkers, Immunogenicity

    Measured: at 6 months

  2. Safety (Severity of adverse events, causal relationship to the study drug, outcome, action taken with respect to the investigational product, treatment required)

    Measured: at 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Abatacept in people with Rheumatoid Arthritis, run by Bristol-Myers Squibb at 38 sites in Japan.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 25 Apr 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 38 sites in Japan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

Efficacy will be evaluated using the American College of Rheumatology response rate or ACR 20. This means the respective proportion of patients reaching an improvement of at least 20% of the ACR composite index from baseline. (time frame: at 6 months). 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 25 Apr 2011.
