What is being measured

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

  1. ACPA (Anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide) status

    ACPA-positive greater than or equal to 5 Ru/mL in Australia, greater than or equal to 20 Ru/mL in US

    Measured: Pre-Index

Secondary outcomes (11)
  1. Number of participants with positive ACPA

    ACPA-positive greater than or equal to 5 Ru/mL in Australia, greater than or equal to 20 Ru/mL in US

    Measured: Index

  2. Number of participants with negative ACPA

    ACPA-negative less than or equal to 5 Ru/mL in Australia, less than or equal to 20 Ru/mL in US

    Measured: Index

  3. CDAI (clinical disease activity index) score

    Remission CDAI <2.9 Low disease activity CDAI ≥ 2.9 but <10.0 Moderate disease activity CDAI ≥ 10.1 but <22.0 High disease activity CDAI ≥ 22.0

    Measured: Index plus or minus 1 month

  4. CDAI (clinical disease activity index) score

    Remission CDAI <2.9 Low disease activity CDAI ≥ 2.9 but <10.0 Moderate disease activity CDAI ≥ 10.1 but <22.0 High disease activity CDAI ≥ 22.0

    Measured: 12 months plus or minus 3 months

  5. DAS28 (disease activity score 28)-CRP-3 (C reactive protein) score

    The DAS-28 CRP-3 is a measure of disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) that assesses 28 joints in RA commonly affected. The DAS-28 CRP 3 takes into account tender and swollen joint counts and CRP level (measure of inflammation in the blood). The DAS-28 CRP 3 measure does not include patient global assessment of health.

    Measured: Index plus or minus 1 month

  6. DAS28 (disease activity score 28)-CRP-3 (C reactive protein) score

    The DAS-28 CRP-3 is a measure of disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) that assesses 28 joints in RA commonly affected. The DAS-28 CRP 3 takes into account tender and swollen joint counts and CRP level (measure of inflammation in the blood). The DAS-28 CRP 3 measure does not include patient global assessment of health.

    Measured: 12 months plus or minus 3 months

  7. Number of participants with treatment persistence

    Measured: Approximately 11 years and 5 months

  8. Number of participants with treatment discontinuation

    Measured: Approximately 11 years and 5 months

  9. Number of participants identified as taking abatacept

    Measured: Index

  10. Number of participants identified as taking TNFi (tumor necrosis factor inhibitor)

    Measured: Index

  11. Number of participants that achieved remission

    Remission CDAI <2.9 Low disease activity CDAI ≥ 2.9 but <10.0 Moderate disease activity CDAI ≥ 10.1 but <22.0 High disease activity CDAI ≥ 22.0

    Measured: 12 months plus or minus 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Rheumatoid Arthritis, run by Bristol-Myers Squibb at 1 site in Australia.

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 3 inclusion and 4 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 9 Mar 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Australia. 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 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?

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?

ACPA (Anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide) status (time frame: Pre-Index). 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 9 Mar 2022; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
