Participant Flow

Participants were enrolled at 3 locations and 32 sites worldwide: United States (20 sites), Canada (6 sites), and Mexico (6 sites).

A total of 126 participants were enrolled, and 3 discontinued prior to study start due to failure to continue to meet study eligibility criteria.

Measure
Subcutaneous Abatacept, 125 mg (Prior Anti-TNF Failure)
Participants with active rheumatoid arthritis, who previously received intravenous abatacept and failed therapy with antitumor necrosis factor (anti-TNF) in an earlier study (NCT00048581, or Bristol-Myers Squibb \[BMS\] IM101-029), received subcutaneous abatacept, 125 mg, once weekly for 3 months (to Day 85). Participants received the first dose of subcutaneous abatacept within 4 weeks of the last quarterly dosing visit of the preceding intravenous abatacept study.
Subcutaneous Abatacept, 125 mg (Prior Methotrexate Failure)
Participants with active rheumatoid arthritis, who previously received intravenous abatacept and showed an inadequate response to treatment with methotrexate in an earlier study (NCT00048568,or BMS IM101-102), received subcutaneous abatacept, 125 mg, once weekly for 3 months (to Day 85). Participants received the first dose of subcutaneous abatacept within 4 weeks of the last quarterly dosing visit of the preceding intravenous abatacept study.

Subcutaneous Abatacept, 125 mg
n=123 Participants
Participants with active rheumatoid arthritis, who previously received intravenous abatacept and failed therapy with antitumor necrosis factor or showed an inadequate response to treatment with methotrexate in an earlier study, received subcutaneous abatacept, 125 mg, once weekly. Participants received the first dose of subcutaneous abatacept within 4 weeks of the last quarterly dosing visit of the preceding intravenous abatacept study.

The DAS 28-CRP is a measure of disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and assesses the 28 joints RA commonly affects; the score includes the number of tender and swollen joints (out of 28), C-reactive protein level (a measure of inflammation in the blood), and the patient's global assessment of health (ranging from very good to very bad). DAS-CRP scores range from 0 to 10, with higher values indicating greater disease activity. Individual measures are fed into a complex mathematical formula to produce the overall DAS (a score greater than 5.1 implies active disease; less than 3.2, well controlled disease; and less than 2.6, remission.)

Timeframe: Day 1 (Baseline) through Day 1093

Population: All participants who received at least 1 dose of study medication

LDAS is defined as DAS 28-CRP ≤3.2. DAS 28-CRP remission is defined as DAS 28-CRP \<2.6. The DAS 28-CRP is a measure of disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and assesses the 28 joints RA commonly affects; the score includes the number of tender and swollen joints (out of 28), C-reactive protein level (a measure of inflammation in the blood), and the patient's global assessment of health (ranging from very good to very bad). DAS-CRP scores range from 0 to 10, with higher values indicating greater disease activity. Individual measures are fed into a complex mathematical formula to produce the overall DAS (a score greater than 5.1 implies active disease; less than 3.2, well controlled disease; and less than 2.6, remission.)

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 1 (Baseline) to Day 1093

Population: All participants who received at least 1 dose of study medication

The HAQ-DI assesses patients' functional ability by rating their abilities over the previous week. At least 2 questions are asked from each of 8 categories: dressing and grooming, hygiene, arising, reach, eating, grip, walking, and common daily activities. Patients rate difficulty performing specific tasks: 0=without difficulty, 1=with some difficulty, 2=with much difficulty, and 3=unable to do. The sum of the categories is divided by the number of categories answered, yielding a score from 0-3.
