What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT02335606
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Patients treating with AbataceptPatients who are abatacept naive and are initiating abatacept treatment (either IV or SC) including those that are switching from another bDMARD, as well as, patients currently being treated with IV or SC abatacept some of which may have switched from IV abatacept to SC abatacept

What is being measured

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

  1. The retention rate of abatacept therapy over 24 months in RA patients under real world clinical practice in Taiwan.

    Treatment retention rate is defined as the proportion of subjects who use abatacept for 24 months

    Measured: approximately 24 months

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. The retention rate (%) of abatacept therapy at 6, 9, 12, and 18 months in RA patients

    Measured: at 6, 9, 12, 18, and 24months after study participation

  2. The time to treatment discontinuation in RA patients treated with abatacept

    Treatment discontinuation is defined as patients who cease treatment for > 8 weeks

    Measured: at 6, 9, 12, 18, and 24months after study participation

  3. The proportion of patients achieving DAS28 ≤ 2.6, 2.6 < DAS28 ≤ 3.2, 3.2 < DAS28 ≤ 5.1, DAS> 5.1 at 6, 9, 12, 18, and 24months

    Measured: at 6, 9, 12, 18, and 24months after study participation

  4. The major reason for treatment discontinuation (eg, lack of efficacy, severe adverse drug reactions, switch from abatacept to another RA medication, financial issues, etc) at 6, 9, 12, 18, and 24 months

    Measured: at 6, 9, 12, 18, and 24months after study participation

  5. The demographic, clinical presentation, and disease management a composite measure of RA patients who are using abatacept (either formulation) or are abatacept naïve at Month 6, 9, 12, 18, and 24

    Measured: at 6, 9, 12, 18, and 24months after study participation
