Participant Flow

The study was conducted at 240 centers in 27 countries. A total of 1224 participants were screened between 29 October 2012 and 7 August 2014, of whom 546 participants were randomized and 678 were screen failures. Screen failures were mainly due to failure to meet inclusion criteria.

Participants were randomized 1:1:1 (placebo q2w : sarilumab 150 mg q2w : sarilumab 200 mg q2w) via a centralized randomization system using an interactive voice response system stratified by region and number of previous anti- tumor necrosis factor (TNF) therapy (1 versus \>1).

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, Week 12

Population: ITT population. Number of participants analyzed = number of participants with HAQ-DI assessment at both baseline and Week 12.

Physical function was assessed by HAQ-DI. It consisted of at least 2 questions per category, participant reported assessment of ability to perform tasks in 8 categories of daily living activities: dress/groom; arise; eat; walk; reach; grip; hygiene; and common activities over past week rated on a 4-point scale where 0 = no difficulty; 1 = some difficulty; 2 = much difficulty; 3 = unable to do. Overall score was computed as the sum of category scores and divided by the number of categories answered, ranging from 0 to 3, where 0 = no disability and 3 = unable to do, high-dependency disability. Least-squares (LS) means and standard errors (SE) at Week 12 were obtained from a mixed-effect model with repeated measures (MMRM) with treatment, region, number of previous anti-TNFs, visit, and treatment-by-visit interaction as fixed effects and baseline HAQ-DI as a covariate.

Timeframe: Baseline, Week 24

Population: ITT population. Number of participants analyzed = number of participants with DAS28--CRP Score assessment at both baseline and Week 24.

DAS28 is a composite score that includes 4 variables: TJC (based on 28 joints); SJC (based on 28 joints); General health (GH) assessment by the participant assessed from the ACR rheumatoid arthritis (RA) core set questionnaire (participant global assessment) in 100 mm visual analog scale (VAS). Marker of inflammation assessed by the high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) in mg/L. The DAS28 score provides a number indicating the current disease activity of the RA. DAS28 total score ranges from 2-10. A DAS28 score above 5.1 means high disease activity, whereas a DAS28 score below 3.2 indicates low disease activity and a DAS28 score below 2.6 means disease remission. LS means and SE at Week 24 were obtained from a MMRM with treatment, region, number of previous anti-TNFs, visit, and treatment-by-visit interaction as fixed effects and baseline DAS28-CRP score as a covariate.

Population: ITT population. Number of participants analyzed = participants with SF-36 PCS assessment at both baseline and Week 24.

SF-36 is a generic 36-item questionnaire measuring health-related quality of life (HRQL) covering 2 summary measures: PCS and mental component summary (MCS). The SF-36 consists of 8 subscales. The PCS had 4 subscales: physical function, role limitations due to physical problems, pain, and general health perception. The MCS had 4 subscales: vitality, social function, role limitations due to emotional problems, and mental health. Participants self-report on items in a subscale that have between 2-6 choices per item using Likert-type responses (e.g. none of the time, some of the time, etc.). Summations of item scores of the same subscale give the subscale scores, which are transformed into a range from 0 to 100; 0= worst HRQL, 100=best HRQL. Higher scores indicate better health and well-being. LS mean and SE at Week 24 by MMRM with treatment,region,number of previous anti TNFs,visit,and treatment-by-visit interaction as fixed effects and baseline SF-36 (PCS) as a covariate.

RAID is a composite measure of the impact of RA on participants that takes into account 7 domains: pain, functional disability, fatigue, physical and emotional well being, quality of sleep, and coping. The RAID is calculated based on 7 numerical rating scales (NRS) questions. Range of the final RAID value is 0-10 where 0= not affected, very good and 10 = most affected weighted and calculated with a total score range of 0 (not affected, very good) to 10 (most affected). A higher RAID value indicate worse status and lower indicate not affected. LS mean and SE at Week 24 were obtained from a MMRM with treatment, region, number of previous anti-TNFs, visit, and treatment-by-visit interaction as fixed effects and baseline RAID as a covariate.

Population: ITT population. Number of participants analyzed=participants with SF-36 assessment at both baseline and Week 12.

SF-36 is a generic 36-item questionnaire measuring HRQL covering 2 summary measures: PCS and MCS. The SF-36 consists of 8 subscales. The PCS is represented by 4 subscales: physical function, role limitations due to physical problems, pain, and general health perception. The MCS is represented by 4 subscales: vitality, social function, role limitations due to emotional problems, and mental health. Participants self-report on items in a subscale that have between 2-6 choices per item using Likert-type responses (e.g. none of the time, some of the time, etc.). Summations of item scores of the same subscale give the subscale scores, which are transformed into a range from 0 to 100; 0= worst HRQL, 100=best HRQL. Higher scores indicate better health and well-being. LS mean and SE at Week 12 were obtained from a MMRM with treatment, region, number of previous anti-TNFs, visit, and treatment-by-visit interaction as fixed effects and baseline SF-36 as a covariate.

Population: ITT population. Number of participants analyzed = participants with WPS-RA individual items assessment at both baseline and Week 12.

The WPS-RA is a validated questionnaire that evaluates productivity limitations within work and within home associated with RA over the previous month. The questionnaire was interviewer-administered and was based on participant self-report. It contains 9 questions addressing employment status (1 item), productivity at work (3 items), and within and outside the home (5 items). Number of days with outside help hired in the last month by the participant was reported. LS mean and SE at Week 12 were obtained from a MMRM with treatment, region, number of previous anti-TNFs, visit, and treatment-by-visit interaction as fixed effects and baseline WPS-RA as a covariate.

Population: ITT population. Number of participants analyzed = number of participants with RAID score assessment at both baseline and Week 12.

RAID score is a composite measure of the impact of RA on participants that takes into account 7 domains: pain, functional disability, fatigue, physical and emotional well being, quality of sleep, and coping. The RAID is calculated based on 7 NRS questions. Range of the final RAID value is 0-10 where 0= not affected, very good and 10 = most affected weighted and calculated with a total score range of 0 (not affected, very good) to 10 (most affected). A higher RAID value indicates worse status and lower indicates not affected. LS mean and SE at Week 12 were obtained from a MMRM with treatment, region, number of previous anti-TNFs, visit, and treatment-by-visit interaction as fixed effects and baseline RAID scores as a covariate.
