Trial summary

Prospective, post-marketing, multi-center, open-label study to explore if the initiation of adalimumab could influence grey-scale (GS) and power Doppler (PD) ultrasonographic (US) score using 36-joint plus 4-tendon scoring system, and validate the applicability of different simplified US joint scoring systems.

  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Participants receiving adalimumab with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) in China

Who may be able to join

  • Moderate to severe RA despite treatment with methotrexate (MTX).
  • Eligible to use adalimumab according to the local label without any contraindication.
  • Naïve to adalimumab, and participants with prior exposure to any other biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) should have experienced at least five half-lives of the biologics after treatment discontinuation.
  • Participants for whom investigators decided to prescribe adalimumab as per local label and are initiating adalimumab at baseline.

Who cannot join

  • Other inflammatory condition which may affect the signs on joints ultrasound (eg, gouty arthritis, or other chronic rheumatic disease besides RA).
  • Currently being treated with or has been treated with any investigational drug of chemical or biologic nature within a minimum of 30 days of the baseline visit.
  • Participants with contraindication or are not appropriate to use adalimumab according to local label or investigators' judgment.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change from baseline in grey-scale (GS) scores

    Change in GS scores from baseline at Week 12, using 36-joint scoring system

    Measured: Week 0 (baseline) and Week 12

  2. Change in power Doppler (PD) semi-quantitative scores from baseline

    Change in PD semi-quantitative scores from baseline at week 12, using 36-joint scoring system

    Measured: Week 0 (baseline) and Week 12

  3. Correlation between the 36-joint plus 4-tendon assessment versus simplified joint power Doppler (PD) ultrasonographic (US) assessments, which include 12-joint/7-joint/6-joint plus 4-tendon systems.

    Correlation coefficients will be presented to assess the correlation between the 36-joint plus 4-tendon PDUS assessment versus the simplified 12-joint/7-joint/6-joint plus 4-tendon assessments.

    Measured: Week 0 (baseline) and Week 12

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Change from baseline in counts of joints with US detected bone erosion

    The change in counts of joints with US detected bone erosion.

    Measured: Baseline (Week 0) to Week 12

  2. Percentage of participants achieving low disease activity

    The percentage of participants achieving low disease activity (LDA, DAS 28-CRP greater than or equal to 2.6 but less than 3.2).

    Measured: Baseline (Week 0) to Week 12 and Week 20

  3. Correlation between changes of 36-joint plus 4-tendon PDUS score and disease activity DAS 28-CRP.

    Measured: Baseline (Week 0) to Week 20

  4. Percentage of patients achieving clinical remission

    The percentage of participants achieving clinical remission (DAS 28-CRP less than 2.6).

    Measured: Baseline (Week 0) to Week 12 and Week 20

  5. Change in DAS 28-CRP from baseline

    The Disease Activity Score C-Reactive Protein (DAS 28-CRP); 4 variables, using 28-joint counts and CRP.

    Measured: Baseline (Week 0) to Week 12 and Week 20

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), run by AbbVie at 4 sites in China.

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 3 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Nov 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in China. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Change from baseline in grey-scale (GS) scores (time frame: Week 0 (baseline) and Week 12). The study lists 3 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 26 Nov 2018.
