Trial Outcomes & Findings for Effectiveness and Safety of Adalimumab in Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients in Routine Clinical Practice (NCT NCT01078090)

NCT ID: NCT01078090

Last Updated: 2014-05-08

Results Overview

The DAS28 is a validated index of rheumatoid arthritis disease activity. Twenty-eight tender joint counts, 28 swollen joint counts, the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and general health (measured on a visual analog scale \[VAS\] from 0 to 10 cm) are included in the DAS28 score. Scores on the DAS28 range from 0 to 10. A DAS28 score \>5.1 indicates high disease activity, a DAS28 score \<3.2 indicates low disease activity, and a DAS28 score \<2.6 indicates clinical remission.

Clinical remission is defined as a DAS28 score of \< 2.6. The Disease Activity Score (DAS28) is a validated index of rheumatoid arthritis disease activity calculated from the 28 tender joint count, 28 swollen joint count, the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and the patient's assessment of global disease activity (measured on a visual analog scale \[VAS\] from 0 to 10 cm). Scores on the DAS28 range from 0 to 10; higher scores indicate more disease activity.

Significant therapeutic response was determined by DAS28 critical difference (Dcrit). A Dcrit response is a statistically determined value that exceeds the threshold of random fluctuation and signifies a positive individual response during treatment. A DAS28-Dcrit individual therapeutic response is defined as a decrease (improvement) in DAS28 from Baseline of ≥ 1.8. The Disease Activity Score (DAS28) is a validated index of rheumatoid arthritis disease activity calculated from the 28 tender joint count, 28 swollen joint count, the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and the patient's assessment of global disease activity (measured on a visual analog scale \[VAS\] from 0 to 10 cm). Scores on the DAS28 range from 0 to 10; higher scores indicate more disease activity.

C-reactive protein (CRP) was measured from blood samples as a marker for inflammation. Higher levels are indicative of more inflammation. Normal concentration in healthy human serum is usually lower than 10 mg/L, slightly increasing with age.

A self-administered patient questionnaire used to assess patient function based on 18 questions. The numerically coded responses to the questions are added to provide a total patient score. The FFbH was calculated from this patient score by the following formula: FFbH = (patient score x 100) ÷ 2 (number of valid responses). The resulting FFbH score reflects the degree of remaining functional capacity where 0% indicates maximal impairment and 100% indicates maximal functional capacity.
