Trial Outcomes & Findings for Transcutaneous Cervical Vagus Nerve Stimulation (tcVNS) in JIA (NCT NCT05710640)

NCT ID: NCT05710640

Last Updated: 2025-11-25

Results Overview

The JIA ACR 50 is a validated composite response consisting of 6 core criteria: number of joints with active arthritis; number of joints with limited motion; physician's assessment of disease activity (measured on a 10 cm visual analogue scale (VAS)); parent/patient assessment of overall well-being (measured on a 10 cm VAS); a validated measure of physical function, Childhood Health Assessment Questionnaire (CHAQ); and a laboratory measure of inflammation, c-Reactive Protein (CRP). The JIA ACR 50 is achieved if 3 of any 6 core set variables improved by at least 50% from Baseline, and no more than 1 variable worsens by \>30%. A negative change from Baseline in any of the core set variables signifies improvement. Participants missing any of the JIA ACR core criteria at Week 8 are imputed as JIA ACR 50 non-responders at Week 8.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Week 8

Population: The modified Intent-to-Treat (mITT) population included all randomized participants who received any active tcVNS stimulation or sham stimulation.

The JIA ACR 50 is a validated composite response consisting of 6 core criteria: number of joints with active arthritis; number of joints with limited motion; physician's assessment of disease activity (measured on a 10 cm visual analogue scale (VAS)); parent/patient assessment of overall well-being (measured on a 10 cm VAS); a validated measure of physical function, Childhood Health Assessment Questionnaire (CHAQ); and a laboratory measure of inflammation, c-Reactive Protein (CRP). The JIA ACR 50 is achieved if 3 of any 6 core set variables improved by at least 50% from Baseline, and no more than 1 variable worsens by \>30%. A negative change from Baseline in any of the core set variables signifies improvement. Participants missing any of the JIA ACR core criteria at Week 8 are imputed as JIA ACR 50 non-responders at Week 8.

The JADAS-27 is a measurement of disease activity and is determined by adding the scores of its 4 components: physician's assessment of disease activity (measured on a 10 cm visual analogue scale (VAS)); parent/patient assessment of overall well-being (measured on a 10 cm VAS); number of joints with active arthritis; and a laboratory measure of inflammation, c-Reactive Protein (CRP), normalized to a value between 0 and 10. The JADAS-27 includes the following joints: cervical spine, elbows, wrists, metacarpophalangeal joints (from first to third), proximal inter-phalangeal joints, hips, knees, and ankles. This provides a score in the range of 0-57 with higher scores indicating worse disease activity. A negative change from Baseline signifies improvement.

The JADAS-27 is a measurement of disease activity and is determined by adding the scores of its 4 components: physician's assessment of disease activity (measured on a 10 cm visual analogue scale (VAS)); parent/patient assessment of overall well-being (measured on a 10 cm VAS); number of joints with active arthritis; and a laboratory measure of inflammation, c-Reactive Protein (CRP) normalized to a value between 0-10. The JADAS-27 includes the following joints: cervical spine, elbows, wrists, metacarpophalangeal joints (from first to third), proximal inter-phalangeal joints, hips, knees, and ankles. This provides a score in the range of 0-57 with higher scores indicating worse disease activity.
