Evaluation of Efficacy and Safety of Fostamatinib Monotherapy Compared With Adalimumab Monotherapy in Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)

Change in DAS28 was derived for each post baseline scheduled assessment and categorised using the European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) response criteria. Non-responder imputation has been applied by carrying the baseline observation forward. bid = twice daily, DAS28 = Disease Activity Score based on a 28-joint count, DMARD = disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug, OR = odds ratio, PO = orally, qd = once a day, SC = subcutaneous.

ACR20: American College of Rheumatology 20% response criteria, based on count of swollen and tender joints (out of 28 joints), blood test measures of inflammation (such as CRP) and the physician and patient's own assessments of disease activity, pain and physical function. Non-responder imputation has been applied by carrying the baseline observation forward. BID = twice daily, CRP = C-reactive protein, DMARD = disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug, IR = inadequate response, n/a = not applicable, PO = orally, qd = once a day, SC = subcutaneous.

ACR50: American College of Rheumatology 50% response criteria, based on count of swollen and tender joints (out of 28 joints), blood test measures of inflammation (such as CRP) and the physician and patient's own assessments of disease activity, pain and physical function. Non-responder imputation has been applied by carrying the baseline observation forward. BID = twice daily, CRP = C-reactive protein, DMARD = disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug, IR = inadequate response, n/a = not applicable, PO = orally, qd = once a day, SC = subcutaneous.

ACR70: American College of Rheumatology 70% response criteria, based on count of swollen and tender joints (out of 28 joints), blood test measures of inflammation (such as CRP) and the physician and patient's own assessments of disease activity, pain and physical function. Non-responder imputation has been applied by carrying the baseline observation forward. BID = twice daily, CRP = C-reactive protein, DMARD = disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug, IR = inadequate response, n/a = not applicable, PO = orally, qd = once a day, SC = subcutaneous.

ACRn: American College of Rheumatology Index of RA improvement, based on smallest percentage improvement in the count of swollen joints (out of 28 joints), count of tender joints (out of 28 joints) or in blood test measures of inflammation (such as CRP) or the physician and patient's own asessment of disease activity, pain and physical function. Scores are reported as a percentage improvement on a scale of -100 to +100, with larger values representing a better clinical outcome. Non-responder imputation has been applied by carrying the baseline observation forward. BID = twice daily, DMARD = disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug, IR = inadequate response, n/a = not applicable, PO = orally, qd = once a day, SC = subcutaneous. Mean refers to change at Week 6. Treatment difference: difference between fostamatinib and placebo groups.

HAQ-DI: Health Assessment Questionnaire - Disability Index, a measure of physical function. The HAQ-DI score is calculated by summing the category scores from 8 sub-categories (ie, scores for patient ability in dressing and grooming, rising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip and common daily activities) and dividing by the number of categories completed. The HAQ-DI score takes values between 0 and 3, with a higher score indicating greater disability. Non-responder imputation has been applied by carrying the baseline observation forward. ANCOVA = analysis of covariance, BID = twice daily, DMARD = disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug, IR = inadequate response, LS = least squares, n/a = not applicable, PO = orally, qd = once a day, SC = subcutaneous.

SF-36: 36-item Short Form Health Survey, a measure of health-related QoL. Scores for 8 sub-domains (Physical Functioning, Role-Physical, Bodily Pain, General Health, Vitality, Social Function, Role-Emotional \& Mental Health) are derived \& normalised to a scale of 0-100. Physical \& Mental Component Scores (PCS \& MCS) are derived by multiplying each of these 8 scores by a constant, summing them \& standardising against a population with mean of 50, standard deviation of 10. Higher scores represent a better QoL. Mean changes from baseline score are presented at each visit as increases from baseline (defined as post-baseline minus baseline); larger changes indicate a better clinical condition. Non-responder imputation applied by carrying the baseline observation forward. ANCOVA = analysis of covariance, BID = twice daily, DMARD = disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug, IR = inadequate response, LS = least squares, PO = orally, QD = once a day, QoL = quality of life, SC = subcutaneous.
