What is being measured

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

  1. Patterns of change in patient assessments of physical function with scores of the Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) among users of SC Abatacept for RA since the commencement of a CUP in South Africa's private sector

    Measured: Approximately 2 years

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Demographic characteristics (age, gender, education and population group) of patients

    Measured: Approximately 2 years

  2. Clinical characteristics (comorbidities including Tuberculosis, medication use, and adverse events) of patients

    Measured: Approximately 2 years

  3. Reasons for discontinuation based on the reasons mentioned in Questionnaire

    Reasons for discontinuation: defined as common responses given for stopping treatment and include death, adverse event, lack of efficacy, lost to follow-up, withdrawal of consent, or other reasons

    Measured: Approximately 2 years

  4. Reasons for skipping treatment based on the reasons mentioned in Questionnaire

    Reasons for skipping treatment: defined as explanations given for inability to adhere to the recommended treatment regime and include fear of side effects, lack of access (too far) to medicine, inconvenient to use, too busy or forgetting, or other reasons

    Measured: Approximately 2 years

  5. Association of demographic and clinical characteristics based on Standard Disability Index of the Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ-DI) scores

    Measured: Approximately 2 years

  6. Changes in physical functioning against clinical trial and long-term extension phase data based incidence of adverse events

    Adverse events: defined as any untoward medical event in a patient whether related or unrelated to SC abatacept and may include any sign (laboratory finding), symptom, or disease

    Measured: Approximately 2 years

Are results available for this study?

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?

Patterns of change in patient assessments of physical function with scores of the Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) among users of SC Abatacept for RA since the commencement of a CUP in South Africa's private sector (time frame: Approximately 2 years). 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?
