Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Proportion of patients with an ACR20 response
The ACR 20 responses: greater than or equal to 20 percent improvement in TJC and SJC (28 assessed joints), and 20% improvement in 3 of the following 5 criteria, respectively: 1) PtAAP- VAS, 2) PtGADA-VAS, 3) PhGADA-VAS, 4) HAQ-DI, and 5) CRP or ESR

Secondary Outcome Measures

Proportion of patients with an ACR50, 70 response
The ACR50, 70 responses: greater than or equal to 50, 70 percent improvement in TJC and SJC (28 assessed joints), and 50%, 70% improvement in 3 of the following 5 criteria, respectively: 1) PtAAP- VAS, 2) PtGADA-VAS, 3) PhGADA-VAS, 4) HAQ-DI, and 5) CRP or ESR
Proportion of patients with an ACR20, 50, 70 response
The ACR20, 50, 70 responses: greater than or equal to 20, 50 70 percent improvement in TJC and SJC (28 assessed joints), and 20%, 50%, 70% improvement in 3 of the following 5 criteria, respectively: 1) PtAAP- VAS, 2) PtGADA-VAS, 3) PhGADA-VAS, 4) HAQ-DI, and 5) CRP or ESR
Proportion of patients with DAS28 (ESP、CRP) ≤3.2 and <2.6
The DAS28-ESR(CRP)score is a measure of the patient's disease activity calculated using the tender joint count on 28 joints (TJC28), swollen joint count on 28 joints (SJC28), patient's global assessment (PGA) of disease activity based on visual analog scale (VAS) and the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (C-reactive protein) in millimeter/hour (mm/hr)(mg/L). VAS assessments involved a 10 cm horizontal scale from 0 (no disease activity) to 10 (maximum disease activity). Total possible score ranged from 0 to 10. Higher scores represent higher disease activity. A negative change from baseline indicates an improvement

The DAS28-ESR(CRP)score is a measure of the patient's disease activity calculated using the tender joint count on 28 joints (TJC28), swollen joint count on 28 joints (SJC28), patient's global assessment (PGA) of disease activity based on visual analog scale (VAS) and the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (C-reactive protein) in millimeter/hour (mm/hr)(mg/L). VAS assessments involved a 10 cm horizontal scale from 0 (no disease activity) to 10 (maximum disease activity). Total possible score ranged from 0 to 10. Higher scores represent higher disease activity. A negative change from baseline indicates an improvement
Simplified Disease Activity Index (SDAI)Change From Baseline
SDAI is a numerical sum of 5 outcome parameters: TJC and SJC based on a 28-joint assessment, PtGDA and PGDA assessed on 0-10 cm VAS and CRP in mg/dL. Higher positive value indicates greater extent of positive relationship and higher negative value indicates greater extent of negative relationship.
Clinical Disease Activity Index (CDAI)(Change From Baseline)
The CDAI is a numerical sum of 4 outcome parameters: tender joint count (TJC) and swollen joint count (SJC) based on a 28-joint assessment, patient's global assessment of disease activity (PtGDA) and physician global assessment of disease activity (PGDA) assessed on 0-10 centimeters (cm) visual analogue scale (VAS). Higher scores represent greater affectation due to disease activity.
Change From Baseline in TJC and SJC
The number of tender joints (based on 68 joints) and swollen joints (based on 66 joints) were counted at each visit. TJC was determined by identifying the joints that were painful under pressure or to passive motion, A negative change from baseline indicates an improvement.
Change From Baseline in Health Assessment Questionnaire-Disability Index (HAQ-DI)
HAQ-DI is a participant-reported assessment of ability to perform tasks in 8 categories of daily living activities: dress/groom; arise; eat; walk; reach; grip; hygiene; and common activities over past week.
Change From Baseline in the Short Form 36 (SF-36) Health Survey
The SF-36 Health Survey uses participant-reported symptoms on 8 subscales to assess health-related quality of life (HRQoL). A clinically relevant improvement in the Physical and Mental Component Scores of the SF-36 was defined as a ≥ 5-point increase from Baseline.
