Percentage of Participants Meeting European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) Response Criteria During the Initial Treatment Period
Time Frame: Weeks 4, 12, 24, 36, and 48 of Initial treatment period
|
The EULAR response criteria were based on the assessment of disease activity using the DAS28.
The EULAR response criteria included not only change in disease activity but current disease activity.
To be classified as responders, participants had to have a significant change in DAS28 and a low current disease activity.
There were 4 categories of EULAR response rates: good, moderate, good/moderate, and none.
The DAS28 scoring used 4 core components: SJC, TJC, Patient's Global Assessment of Disease Activity, and ESR.
The DAS28 has a continuous scale ranging from 0 to 9.4.
The level of disease activity was interpreted as low (DAS28 score less than or equal to [≤]3.2), moderate (DAS28 score greater than [>]3.2 but ≤5.1), or high (DAS28 score >5.1).
A DAS28 score <2.6 corresponded to a state of remission according to American Rheumatism Association criteria.

Change From Baseline in Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue (FACIT-F) Total Score During the Initial Treatment Period
Time Frame: Weeks 4, 12, 24, 36, and 48 of Initial treatment period
|
Participant fatigue was evaluated using the FACIT-F scale, a 13-item questionnaire in which the participants were requested to score each item on a 5-point scale.
The FACIT-F scores ranged from 0 to 52, with higher scores representing less fatigue.
Score changes of 4 points or more were considered clinically meaningful.
The total score was a summation of all 13 items, where 2 of the positive items (I have energy; I am able to do my usual activities) were reversed for scoring.
