Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in Total Sharp Score (TSS) From Baseline to Month 12 Following Subcutaneous Administration of Denosumab or Placebo
Time Frame: baseline to month 12
Change from baseline in Total Sharp Score (TSS) from baseline to month 12 was assessed. The TSS was defined as the sum of the erosion score and the joint space narrowing scores from radiographic assessments. The maximum radiographic TSS from the both hands/wrists and both feet is 448. Higher values represented greater damage.
baseline to month 12

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in Total Sharp Score (TSS) From Baseline to Month 6 Following Subcutaneous Administration of Denosumab or Placebo
Time Frame: baseline to month 6
Change from baseline in Total Sharp Score (TSS) from baseline to month 6 was assessed. The TSS was defined as the sum of the erosion score and the joint space narrowing scores from radiographic assessments. The maximum radiographic TSS from the both hands/wrists and both feet is 448. Higher values represented greater damage.
baseline to month 6
Change in Erosion Score From Baseline to Month 6 Following Subcutaneous Administration of Denosumab or Placebo
Time Frame: baseline to month 6
Change from baseline in Erosion Score from baseline to month 6 was assessed. The Erosion Score was defined for the sum of the joint level erosion scores among the 44 joints in both hands/wrist and both feet from radiographic assessments using the van der Heijde modified Sharp scoring method. The maximum radiographic Erosion Score from both hands/wrist and both feet is 280. Higher values represented greater damage.
baseline to month 6
Change in Joint Space Narrowing From Baseline to Month 6 Following Subcutaneous Administration of Denosumab or Placebo
Time Frame: baseline to month 6
Change from baseline in Joint Space Narrowing from baseline to month 6 was assessed. Joint Space Narrowing was defined for the sum of the joint level joint space narrowing scores among the 42 joints in both hands/wrist and both feet from radiographic assessments using the van der Heijde modified Sharp scoring method. The maximum radiographic Joint Space Narrowing from both hands/wrists and both feet is 168. Higher values represented greater damage.
baseline to month 6
Change in Erosion Score From Baseline to Month 12 Following Subcutaneous Administration of Denosumab or Placebo
Time Frame: baseline to month 12
Change from baseline in Erosion Score from baseline to month 12 was assessed. The Erosion Score was defined for the sum of the joint level erosion scores among the 44 joints in both hands/wrist and both feet from radiographic assessments using the van der Heijde modified Sharp scoring method. The maximum radiographic Erosion Score from both hands/wrist and both feet is 280. Higher values represented greater damage.
baseline to month 12
Change in Joint Space Narrowing From Baseline to Month 12 Following Subcutaneous Administration of Denosumab or Placebo
Time Frame: baseline to month 12
Change from baseline in Joint Space Narrowing from baseline to month 12 was assessed. Joint Space Narrowing was defined for the sum of the joint level joint space narrowing scores among the 42 joints in both hands/wrist and both feet from radiographic assessments using the van der Heijde modified Sharp scoring method. The maximum radiographic Joint Space Narrowing from both hands/wrists and both feet is 168. Higher values represented greater damage.
baseline to month 12
Percent Change in Bone Mineral Density (BMD) From Baseline to Month 12 Following Subcutaneous Administration of Denosumab or Placebo
Time Frame: baseline to month 12
The percent change from baseline in Bone Mineral Density (BMD) to month 12 was assessed. Bone mineral density (BMD) was measured by dual x-ray absorptiometry (DXA).
