Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study of Tocilizumab (RoActemra/Actemra) in Monotherapy or in Combination With Methotrexate or Other Non-Biologic DMARDs in Participants With Active Rheumatoid Arthritis and an Inadequate Response to Current Non-Biologic DMARD Therapy or the First Anti-TNF Biologic Agent (NCT NCT02046603)

NCT ID: NCT02046603

Last Updated: 2018-12-07

Results Overview

DAS28 was calculated from swollen joint count (SJC) and tender joint count (TJC) using 28 joints count, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR; millimeters per hour \[mm/hour\]), and patient's global assessment of disease activity (measured on a 0 to 100 mm Visual Analog Scale \[VAS\] where 0 mm=no disease activity and 100 mm=worst disease activity). DAS28 scores were calculated as \[0.56 × square root of TJC\] + \[0.28 × square root of SJC\] + \[0.70 × natural log (ESR)\] + \[0.014 × VAS\]. Total score range: 0-10, higher score=higher disease activity. DAS28-ESR greater than or equal to (≥) 2.6 to less than or equal to (≤) 3.2 implied low disease activity, greater than (\>) 3.2 to ≤5.1 implied moderate disease activity, \>5.1 implied high/severe disease, and less than (\<) 2.6 implied clinical remission.

Population: FAS population.

DAS28-ESR was calculated from SJC and TJC using 28 joints count, ESR (mm/hour), and patient's global assessment of disease activity (VAS: 0 mm=no disease activity to 100 mm=maximum disease activity). DAS28-ESR scores were calculated as \[0.56 × square root of TJC\] + \[0.28 × square root of SJC\] + \[0.70 × natural log (ESR)\] + \[0.014 × VAS\]. The DAS28-ESR based EULAR response criteria were used to measure individual response as none, good, and moderate, depending on the extent of change from baseline and the level of disease activity reached. Good responders had a change from baseline \>1.2 with a DAS28 score ≤3.2; moderate responders had a change from baseline \>1.2 with a DAS28 score \>3.2 or a change from baseline \>0.6 to ≤1.2 with a DAS28 score ≤5.1. Participants with change from baseline \>0.6 to ≤1.2 with a DAS28 score \>5.1, or any score with change from baseline ≤0.6, were assessed as non-responders.

Population: FAS population. Here, "Overall Number of Participants Analyzed" = participants who were evaluable for this outcome.

The SDAI is the numerical sum of five outcome parameters: TJC and SJC based on a 28-joint assessment, patient and physician global assessment of disease activity assessed on 0-10 centimeter (cm) VAS (0 cm= no disease activity and 10 cm= worst disease activity), and CRP in milligrams per liter (mg/L). SDAI total score = 0-86. SDAI ≤3.3 indicates clinical remission, \>3.3 to 11 = low disease activity, \>11 to 26 = moderate disease activity, and \>26 = high (or severe) disease activity.

The CDAI is the numerical sum of four outcome parameters: TJC and SJC based on a 28-joint assessment, patient and physician's global assessment of disease activity assessed on 0-10 cm VAS (0 cm= no disease activity and 10 cm= worst disease activity). CDAI total score = 0-76. CDAI ≤2.8 indicates clinical remission, \>2.8 to 10 = low disease activity, \>10 to 22 = moderate disease activity, and \>22 = high (or severe) disease activity.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, Week 52

Population: FAS population. Here, "Overall Number of Participants Analyzed" = participants who were evaluable for this outcome.

Number of tender joints was determined by examining 68 joints and identified the joints that were painful under pressure or to passive motion. The number of tender joints was recorded on the joint assessment form at each visit, no tenderness = 0, tenderness = 1; total was calculated by adding all the joints for a maximum score of 68. A reduction in number of tender joints compared to baseline indicates improvement. The outcome is reported as the percent change from baseline to end of treatment (52 weeks).

Population: FAS population.

DAS28 was calculated from SJC and TJC using 28 joints count, ESR (mm/hour), and patient's global assessment of disease activity (measured on a 0 to 100 mm VAS where 0 mm=no disease activity and 100 mm=worst disease activity). DAS28 scores were calculated as \[0.56 × square root of TJC\] + \[0.28 × square root of SJC\] + \[0.70 × natural log (ESR)\] + \[0.014 × VAS\]. Total score range: 0-10, higher score=higher disease activity. DAS28-ESR ≥2.6 to ≤3.2 implied low disease activity.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, Weeks 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48, 52, at early withdrawal (up to Week 52), follow-up Week 4 (up to Week 56), and follow-up Week 8 (up to Week 60)

Population: FAS population.

Results are reported for number of participants who had non-biologic DMARD/corticosteroid dose reductions and/or discontinuation by reasons for dose reductions or discontinuation (safety reasons, discomfort, lack of efficacy, other reasons, and unknown reasons). Participants may be included under more than one reason.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, Weeks 12, 24, 36, 52, and at early withdrawal (up to Week 52)

Population: FAS population. Here, "Overall Number of Participants Analyzed" = participants who were evaluable for this outcome. Results are provided for single arm as participants in "Tocilizumab Monotherapy" arm did not receive methotrexate.

Methotrexate adherence was determined from responses to the question 'Over the last 3 months you were prescribed 12 doses of methotrexate, how many (approximately) have you taken?' Adherence (%) was calculated as: (Approximate number of doses taken/12)\*100.

Population: FAS population.

The HAQ-DI questionnaire measures functional status (disability) and health-related quality of life. It measures the participant's ability to perform everyday tasks. The index consists of 20 questions regarding the function of the upper and lower extremities. These questions are summarized in 8 categories: dressing and grooming, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip, and common activities over past week. Each question is evaluated according to the degree of severity on a 4-point scale. Total score for HAQ-DI was the average of all questions and ranges from 0 = without any difficulty to 3 = unable to do.

Population: FAS population.

The FACIT-F score was calculated according to a 13-item questionnaire that assesses self-reported fatigue and its impact upon daily activities and function. FACIT-F is a 13-item questionnaire. Participants scored each item on a 5-point scale: 0 (Not at all) to 4 (Very much). The larger the participant's response to the questions (with the exception of 2 negatively stated), the greater the participant's fatigue. For all questions, except for the 2 negatively stated ones, the code was reversed and a new score was calculated as (4 minus the participant's response). The sum of all responses resulted in the FACIT-F score for a total possible score of 0 (worse score) to 52 (better score).

A diary card was provided to participants to record home injections. Participants were asked to return all empty drug supply boxes, unused pre-filled syringe, and diary cards to the clinic at each visit as a measure of drug accountability and participant compliance. A participant was considered compliant if the participant correctly administered all scheduled doses of SC tocilizumab during the assessment period.
