Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) participantsParticipants who had been treated with rituximab for RA are reviewed retrospectively using chart review from Baseline until and their most recent visit to the rheumatologist prior to the conduct of the chart review.

What is being measured

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

  1. Factors leading to Therapeutic decision to use rituximab

    Measured: Up to end of study (approximately 1 month)

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. Change in Erythrocyte sedimentation rate

    Measured: Baseline and most recent visits (approximately 1 month)

  2. Change in Immunoglobulin levels

    Measured: Baseline and most recent visits (approximately 1 month)

  3. Percentage of participants with positive or negative results for rheumatoid factor

    Measured: Up to end of study (approximately 1 month)

  4. Percentage of participants with positive or negative results for anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibody

    Measured: Up to end of study (approximately 1 month)

  5. Percentage of participants with positive or negative results for anti-nuclear antibodies

    Measured: Up to end of study (approximately 1 month)

  6. Disease activity score (DAS28)

    Measured: At baseline visit (most recent visit prior to MabThera treatment) and at most recent visit prior to chart review (approximately 1 month)

  7. Tender joint count (TJC)

    Measured: At baseline visit (most recent visit prior to MabThera treatment) and at most recent visit prior to chart review (approximately 1 month)

  8. Swollen joint count (SJC)

    Measured: At baseline visit (most recent visit prior to MabThera treatment) and at most recent visit prior to chart review (approximately 1 month)

  9. Duration of treatment with rituximab

    Measured: From first dose to most recent rituximab infusion (approximately 1 month)

  10. Change in C-reactive protein

    Measured: Baseline and most recent visits (approximately 1 month)

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Rheumatoid Arthritis, run by Hoffmann-La Roche at 1 site in Australia.

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?

What does the primary outcome measure?

Factors leading to Therapeutic decision to use rituximab (time frame: Up to end of study (approximately 1 month)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
