Change From Baseline in Health Assessment Questionnaire-Disability Index (HAQ-DI): Period 1
HAQ-DI assesses the degree of difficulty a participant had experienced during the past week in 8 domains of daily activities: dressing and grooming, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip and other activities. Each activity category consisted of 2-3 items. For each question in the questionnaire, the level of difficulty was scored from 0 to 3 with 0 representing "no difficulty", 1 as "some difficulty", 2 as "much difficulty", and 3 as "unable to do". Any activity that required assistance from another individual or required the use of an assistive device would adjust to a minimum score of 2 to represent a more limited functional status. Overall score was computed as the sum of scores divided by the number of domains answered. Total possible score range was 0-3 with 0 representing "no difficulty", 1 as "some difficulty", 2 as "much difficulty", and 3 as "unable to do". Higher score indicate more difficulty in performing daily living activities.

Change From Baseline in Disease Activity Score-28 (4 Components Based on High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein) (DAS28-4 [CRP]): Period 1
The DAS assessment is a continuous composite measure derived using differential weighting given to each component. The components of the DAS28-4 (CRP) assessment included: tender joint count with 28 joints assessed, swollen joint count with 28 joints assessed, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and patient's global assessment of arthritis (PGA). DAS28-4 (CRP) was calculated as 0.56 sqrt (DAS 28 tender joint count) + 0.28 sqrt (DAS 28 swollen joint count) + 0.36 ln(CRP [mg/L] +1) + 0.014 (PGA [mm]) + 0.96. Higher score indicate more disease activity. The possible lowest score is 0.96. The possible highest score is difficult to be determined, due to indeterminable nature of hs-CRP level; assuming hs-CRP level is 0 to 500 mg/L, the possible highest score would be 6.8 (when hs-CRP is 0) to 9.04 (when hs-CRP is 500 mg/L).

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
The study will assess the efficacy, safety, and immunogenicity of PF-06410293 and adalimumab in combination with methotrexate in subjects with moderately to severly active rheumatoid arthritis who have had an inadequate response to methotrexate.
In an additional optional portion of the study, during open label Treatment Period 3 (TP3), a subset of subjects used a Prefilled Pen (PFP) to administer up to 3 injections of their study treatment (PF-06410293) at home.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing PF-06410293 and Adalimumab in people with Rheumatoid Arthritis, run by Pfizer at 183 sites in 24 countries.
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 4 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 23 Jan 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 183 sites in United States, Poland, Russia, Japan, Georgia and 19 more countries. 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. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 26 Sep 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
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?
Percentage of Participants With an American College of Rheumatology 20% (ACR20) Response at Week 12: Period 1 (time frame: Week 12). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02480153, which also lists 6 linked publications.
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 2019.
