Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Individual patients with RA will be identified using electronic medical records from 01/01/2007 to 10/31/2012. The medical file contains data on diagnostic and therapeutic services rendered in both inpatient and outpatient settings. The diagnoses and procedures for these services are coded using ICD-9-CM, Current Procedural Terminology (CPT), and Diagnosis-Related Group (DRG) codes with service dates.

Who may be able to join

  • Diagnosis of RA (ICD-9 714.xx) anytime during the study time period of 1/1/2007 to 10/31/2012
  • Patients ≥18 years of age at diagnosis date
  • Required to have to have 6 months pre-index and 12 months post-index continuous membership and drug benefit eligibility in the database

Who cannot join

  • Patients less than 18 years of age on diagnosis date
  • If they had a diagnosis of Crohn's disease, psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, ulcerative colitis, ankylosing spondylitis, regional enteritis, or anal fistula during the pre-index period
  • Patients who had <7 days supply of adalimumab or etanercept
  • Patients currently in a clinical trial during our study
  • If patients are in the second-line cohort and have more than 1 prior bDMARD

About this study

Official title: Factors Associated With Biologic Disease Modifying Antirheumatic Drugs Switching and Impact of Healthcare Resource Utilization in a Managed Care Setting

The Primary objective of this study is to understand the rheumatoid arthritis (RA) population in national integrated delivery network who are treated with first- or second-line biologic disease modifying anti-rheumatic drug (bDMARD) therapy (with or without Methotrexate) and to evaluate switching patterns and reasons for switching to another bDMARD.

What is being measured

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

  1. Measure the change in population of patients who are treated with first- or second-line bDMARD therapy (with or without Methotrexate) to another bDMARD therapy

    biologic disease modifying anti-rheumatic drug (bDMARD)

    Measured: Approximately 12 months

  2. Measure the change in population of patients who are treated with first- or second-line bDMARD therapy (with or without Methotrexate) to another bDMARD therapy

    Measured: Approximately 6 months

  3. Measure the reasons for switching to another bDMARD based on Provider documentation in chart notes

    Measured: 12 month post index follow up

  4. Measure the reasons for switching to another bDMARD based on Provider documentation in chart notes

    Measured: 6 months pre-index date

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Evaluate RA related and all cause healthcare resource utilization of doctor visits, hospitalizations and ER visits as patients switch bDMARDs measured from Patient heath claims data from KPSC integrated healthcare data

    Measured: 6 month pre-index and 6 months pre-index date and 12 month post index follow up

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Rheumatoid Arthritis, run by Bristol-Myers Squibb.

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 3 inclusion and 5 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 4 Feb 2016. 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.

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?

Measure the change in population of patients who are treated with first- or second-line bDMARD therapy (with or without Methotrexate) to another bDMARD therapy (time frame: Approximately 12 months). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 4 Feb 2016.
