Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study of RoActemra/Actemra (Tocilizumab) in Combination With Methotrexate in Patients With Active Rheumatoid Arthritis Who Have an Inadequate Response to Non-biologic DMARDs (NCT NCT01353859)

NCT ID: NCT01353859

Last Updated: 2014-06-06

Results Overview

Disease Activity Score using 28-Joint Count (DAS28) was calculated from the number of swollen joints and tender joints using the 28-joint count, the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) (millimeters per hour \[mm/hour\]) and global health assessment (participant-rated global assessment of disease activity using 10-mm visual analog scale \[VAS\]); DAS28 score ranged from 0 to 10, where higher scores correspond to greater disease activity. DAS28 less than or equal to (≤3.2) equals (=) low disease activity, DAS28 greater than (\>)3.2 to 5.1 = moderate to high disease activity.

Measure
Tocilizumab + Methotrexate (MTX)
Participants received tocilizumab 8 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) (minimum dose 480 mg, maximum dose 800 mg), intravenously (IV), once every 4 weeks (maximum number of infusions received was 6) and MTX, 10-25 mg per week, at a stable dose; the dose and route of administration of MTX at entry in the study was to be continued without change while on study unless an adjustment was necessary for safety reasons. All participants treated with MTX received either folic acid or leucovorin according to the manufacturer's recommendations.

Timeframe: Week 24

Population: ITT population: All participants randomized in the study who received administration of at least one dose of the study drug and who had the last week 24 assessment performed.

Disease Activity Score using 28-Joint Count (DAS28) was calculated from the number of swollen joints and tender joints using the 28-joint count, the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) (millimeters per hour \[mm/hour\]) and global health assessment (participant-rated global assessment of disease activity using 10-mm visual analog scale \[VAS\]); DAS28 score ranged from 0 to 10, where higher scores correspond to greater disease activity. DAS28 less than or equal to (≤3.2) equals (=) low disease activity, DAS28 greater than (\>)3.2 to 5.1 = moderate to high disease activity.
