Trial Outcomes & Findings for Effects of Etanercept on the Heart, Veins and Thickness of Certain Major Arteries In Ankylosing Spondylitis Patients (NCT NCT00910273)

NCT ID: NCT00910273

Last Updated: 2016-01-13

Results Overview

Brachial artery (BA) FMD equals (=)(maximum diameter minus\[-\] baseline diameter divided by baseline diameter) times (\*) 100 percent (%). Ultrasound images of BA at rest were followed by blood pressure (BP) cuff inflated to at least 50 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) above participants systolic BP for 5 minutes. Cuff released and reactive hyperaemia was produced. BA was imaged continuously from 30 seconds prior cuff inflation to 2 minutes after cuff deflation. Higher scores indicate improved endothelial function.

ESR is a laboratory test that provides a non-specific measure of inflammation. The test assesses the rate at which red blood cells fall in a test tube. Normal range is 0-30 mm/hour (hr). A higher rate is consistent with inflammation. Change: Week x observation minus Baseline observation. Baseline value was used when present, otherwise valid screening value used as baseline if within 14 days of first test article injection.

CRP is a laboratory measurement for evaluation of an acute phase reactant of inflammation through the use of an ultrasensitive assay. A decrease in the level of CRP indicates reduction in inflammation and therefore improvement. Change: Week x observation minus Baseline observation.

BASDAI a validated self assessment tool to determine disease activity in participant with Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) using a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) of 0 (none) to 10 (very severe) centimeter (cm). Participant answered 6 questions measuring discomfort, pain and fatigue. Final BASDAI score averages the individual assessments for a final score range of 0-10. Change: Week x observation minus Baseline observation. Higher score indicates greater disability. Baseline value was used when present, otherwise valid screening value used as baseline if within 14 days of first test article injection.

BASDAI a validated self assessment tool used to determine disease activity in participants with AS. Utilizing a VAS of 0 (none) to 10 cm (very severe), participant's answered 6 questions measuring discomfort, pain and fatigue. BASDAI 50 response defined as at least a 50% improvement (decrease) from baseline in BASDAI. Baseline score - score at observation divided by Baseline score \* 100 = greater than or equal to 50%.

BASMI is an objective measure of spinal mobility. The BASMI score is composed of 5 measures: cervical rotation, intermalleolar distance, modified Schober's test, lateral flexion and tragus to wall distance. Each measure was scored 0-2 (0=normal mobility, 2=severe reduction) to give a final score ranging 0 to 10. Lower score indicated better spinal mobility. Change: Week x observation minus Baseline observation. Baseline value was used when present, otherwise valid screening value used as baseline if within 14 days of first test article injection.

While in a neutral position, the participant turned the head as far as possible to the right and then to the left. Using a goniometer the degrees of movement were measured. Two measurements on the right and 2 on the left were made. The best of the two measurements for each side (corresponding to the highest value), were then averaged. Higher score indicated greater spinal mobility. Actual rotation ranged from 3.0 to 99.0 degrees. Change: Week x observation minus Baseline observation.

Measurement in cm of distance between participant's middle fingertip and the floor after bending sideways, without bending knees or lifting heels, while attempting to keep shoulders in same place (flexion position). Two measurements on the right and 2 on the left were made. The best of the two measurements for each side (corresponding to the highest value), were then averaged. Higher score indicated greater spinal mobility. Change: Week x observation minus Baseline observation. Baseline value was used when present, otherwise valid screening value used as baseline if within 14 days of first test article injection.

While participant stood with back against the wall and during maximal effort to touch head to the wall, the distance between the occiput (back of head) and the wall was measured. The measurement of two attempts was made and best of the two measurements which corresponds to the highest value were reported. Lower scores indicated improvement in spinal mobility. Change: Week x observation minus Baseline observation. Baseline value was used when present, otherwise valid screening value used as baseline if within 14 days of first test article injection.

Population: mITT; n= number of participants evaluable at specific time point; Due to limited number of participants with visits after Week 12 analysis limited to Week 12

Chest expansion defined as the difference in thoracic circumference during full expiration versus full inspiration, measured in cm at the fourth intercostal space (nipple line) while participant was standing. Measurement taken twice and best of the two measurements (corresponding to the highest value of inspiration and smallest value for expiration), were then averaged. Greater chest circumference indicated improvement in spinal mobility. Change: Week x observation minus Baseline observation. Baseline value was used when present, otherwise valid screening value used as baseline if within 14 days of first test article injection.
