NCT ID: NCT00647270

Last Updated: 2011-04-11

Results Overview

Comparison of adalimumab 80 mg monthly dose versus placebo and adalimumab 40 mg eow in the number of responders with ACR criteria improvement consisting of 20%, (ACR20) reduction in tender or swollen joint counts (TJC or SJC, respectively) and 20% improvement in 3 of the following 5 criteria: \[1\] physician's global assessment of disease activity (PGA), \[2\] subject's assessment of disease activity, \[3\] subject's assessment of pain, \[4\] subject's assessment of physical disability via a health assessment questionnaire disability index(HAQ-DI), and \[5\] C-reactive protein (CRP) at each visit

Participant Flow

The study was conducted at 72 sites in the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico, Germany, the United Kingdom, and Australia. Subjects received over the course of 24 weeks either 80 mg adalimumab monthly, 40 mg adalimumab every other week (eow), or placebo (12 weeks) followed by 40 mg adalimumab eow (12 weeks).

A total of 432 subjects were enrolled, randomized, and received at least 1 dose of study drug. A total of 420 subjects were defined as the Full analysis set (FAS), which excluded the 12 subjects enrolled at a non-compliant site. A total of 48 subjects were switched from placebo to adalimumab 40 mg eow and participated in Period 2.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and Week 12

Population: Full Analysis Set (FAS)-a subset of the intent to treat population used in all efficacy analyses excluding subjects from an Abbott identified Investigator who was non-compliant with protocol requirements. The FAS of subjects who received at least 1 dose of study drug during Period 2 of the study was used for Period 2 efficacy analyses (observed).

The HAQ-DI is a self-reported subject measure of physical function calculated as the mean of 8 category scores: Dressing and Grooming, Rising, Eating, Walking, Hygiene, Reach, Grip, and Activities. Each category score is calculated as the maximum of the scores for the questions within the category. The HAQ-DI is expressed on a scale of 0 (without any difficulty) to 3 (unable to do) representing an average score across the category. Scores for at least 6 categories are needed to compute the HAQ score. Changes to lower scores indicate improvement in physical function.
