What is being measured

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

  1. Change From Baseline in Simple Disease Activity Index (SDAI) Score at Week 8

    The SDAI is the numerical sum of five outcome parameters: tender joint count (TJC) and swollen joint count (SJC) based on a 28-joint assessment, patient global assessment (PtGA) and physician global assessment (PGA) assessed on a visual analogue scale (VAS) scale ranging from 0 to 10 centimeter (cm), where higher scores=greater affection due to disease activity, and C-reactive protein (CRP) measured in terms of milligram per deciliter (mg/dL). SDAI total score= 0 to 86. SDAI greater than or equal to (<=) 3.3 indicates disease remission, greater than (>) 3.4 to 11 = low disease activity, >11 to 26 = moderate disease activity, and >26 = high disease activity.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 8

    Measured: Baseline up to Week 12

  3. Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. SAE was an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly. Treatment-emergent are events between first dose of study drug and up to Week 12 that were absent before treatment or that worsened relative to pretreatment state.

    Measured: Baseline up to Week 12

  4. Change From Baseline in Simple Disease Activity Index (SDAI) Score at Week 1, 2, 4 and 6

    The SDAI is the numerical sum of five outcome parameters: TJC and SJC based on a 28-joint assessment, PtGA and PGA assessed on a VAS scale ranging from 0 to 10 cm, where higher scores=greater affection due to disease activity, and CRP measured in terms of mg/dL. SDAI total score= 0 to 86. SDAI <=3.3 indicates disease remission, >3.4 to 11 = low disease activity, >11 to 26 = moderate disease activity, and >26 = high disease activity.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 1, 2, 4 and 6

  5. Remission Rate Based on Simple Disease Activity Index Score

    Remission rate was defined as percentage of participants with disease remission. The SDAI is the numerical sum of five outcome parameters: TJC and SJC based on a 28-joint assessment, PtGA and PGA assessed on a VAS scale ranging from 0 to 10 cm, where higher scores=greater affection due to disease activity, and CRP measured in terms of mg/dL. SDAI total score= 0 to 86. SDAI <=3.3 indicates disease remission, >3.4 to 11 = low disease activity, >11 to 26 = moderate disease activity, and >26 = high disease activity.

    Measured: Week 4, 6 and 8

  6. Remission Rate Based on Disease Activity Score (DAS28-3 [ESR])

    Remission rate was defined as the percentage of participants with disease remission. DAS28 is measure of disease activity in participants with rheumatoid arthritis. DAS28-3 (ESR) was calculated from SJC and TJC using 28 joints count, and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) (millimeters per hour [mm/hr]). Total score range: 0-9.4, higher score=more disease activity. DAS28-3 (ESR) <= 3.2 implied low disease activity and >3.2 to 5.1 implied moderate to high disease activity, and DAS28-3 (ESR) <2.6 = remission.

    Measured: Week 4, 6 and 8

  7. Remission Rate Based on Disease Activity Score (DAS28-4[ESR])

    Remission rate was defined as the percentage of participants with disease remission. DAS28 is measure of disease activity in participants with rheumatoid arthritis. DAS28-4 (ESR) was calculated from the number of SJC and TJC using the 28 joints count, the ESR (mm/hour) and participant's global assessment (PGA) of disease activity (participant rated arthritis activity assessment with transformed scores ranging 0 to 10; higher scores indicated greater affectation due to disease activity). Total score range: 0-9.4, higher score=more disease activity. DAS28-4 (ESR) <= 3.2 implied low disease activity and >3.2 to 5.1 implied moderate to high disease activity, and DAS28-4 (ESR) <2.6 = remission.

    Measured: Week 4, 6 and 8

  8. Remission Rate Based on Disease Activity Score (DAS28-3 [CRP])

    Remission rate was defined as the percentage of participants with disease remission. DAS28 is measure of disease activity in participants with rheumatoid arthritis. DAS28-3 (CRP) was calculated from the SJC and TJC using the 28 joints count and CRP (mg/L). Total score range: 0 to 9.4, higher score indicated more disease activity. DAS28-3 (CRP) <= 3.2 implied low disease activity and >3.2 to 5.1 implied moderate to high disease activity, and DAS28-3 (CRP) <2.6 = remission.

    Measured: Week 4, 6 and 8

  9. Remission Rate Based on Disease Activity Score (DAS28-4 [CRP])

    Remission rate was defined as the percentage of participants with disease remission. DAS28 is measure of disease activity in participants with rheumatoid arthritis. DAS28-4 (CRP): calculated from SJC, TJC, CRP (mg/L) and PGA (participant rated disease activity on VAS from 0 to 100 mm; high score=worse health). Total score range of DAS28-4 (CRP): 0 to 9.4(0=no activity; 9.4=extreme disease activity), higher score=more disease activity. DAS28-4(CRP) <2.6=remission, <3.2=low disease activity, >=3.2-5.1=moderate disease activity and >5.1=high disease activity.

    Measured: Week 4, 6 and 8

    PAAP: Participants assessed the severity of their arthritis pain by using a 100 mm VAS ranging from 0 (no pain) to 100 (most severe pain), which corresponded to the magnitude of their pain, where higher scores indicated more pain. PGA: Participants were asked the following question, "Considering all the ways your arthritis affects you, how are you feeling today?" and their response was recorded on a 100 mm VAS ranging from 0 (very well) to 100 (very poor), where higher scores indicated worse health condition. PGAA: Participants were assessed how their overall arthritis appears at the time of the visit. The evaluation was based on the participant's disease signs, functional capacity and physical examination, and was independent of the PAAP and PGA assessments. The physician's response was recorded using a 100 mm VAS ranging from 0 (very well) to 100 (very poor), where higher scores indicated more disease activity.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 1, 2, 4, 6 and 8

  17. Change From Baseline in Health Assessment Questionnaire-Disability Index [HAQ-DI] at Week 1, 2, 4, 6 and 8

    HAQ-DI assess degree of difficulty a participant experienced (during past week) in 8 domain of daily activities: dressing and grooming, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip and other activities. Each item scored on a 4-point scale ranging from 0 to 3(0=no difficulty; 3=extreme difficulty). Overall score: average of the sum of domain scores/number of domains answered. Total possible score range (0=least difficulty; 3=extreme difficulty); high scores=more difficulty in performing daily living activities.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 1, 2, 4, 6 and 8

A Phase 2 study testing PF-06651600 in people with Rheumatoid Arthritis, run by Pfizer at 30 sites in 9 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 4 Dec 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 30 sites in Bulgaria, Poland, United States, Georgia, Serbia and 4 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 4 Dec 2018). 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?

Change From Baseline in Simple Disease Activity Index (SDAI) Score at Week 8 (time frame: Baseline, Week 8). 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 NCT02969044, which also lists 3 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 4 Dec 2018.
