Detailed Description

This is a multi-center (when more than one hospital or medical school team work on a medical research study), non-interventional, prospective cohort study that will enroll participants with RA in Colombia, for whom the treating physician has decided to treat with golimumab prior to enrolment. All participants will be observed for adherence to golimumab treatment for 24 months from study start (Week 0), and recommended follow up assessments will be every 3 months. Any changes including addition of new medications or dose modifications of existing medications will be entirely according to the treating physician's judgment. Participants' safety will be monitored throughout the study.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Treatment Adherence Measured by Continuous Measures of Medication Gaps (CMG)
Time Frame: 24 months
Adherence rates to golimumab will be measured by the Continuous Measures of Medication Gaps (CMG). CMG provides an approximate percentage of time in which a participant is without medication available for use. Number of days of delay between consecutive golimumab injections will be observed throughout the study.
24 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Frequency of Treatment Suspension
Time Frame: 24 months
Treatment suspension is defined as a treatment gap of at least 2 cycles of golimumab, with subsequent restart, as assessed by CMG.
24 months
Number of Treatment Termination
Time Frame: 24 months
Treatment termination is defined as a treatment gap of at least 2 cycles of golimumab, with no treatment restart as assessed by CMG.
24 months
Change From Baseline in 28-Joint Disease Activity Score (DAS-28) at Month 6, 12, 18, and 24 or Early Termination
Time Frame: Baseline, Month 6, 12, 18, and 24 or Early Termination
DAS28 is calculated from the number of swollen joints (SJC) and tender joints (TJC) using the 28 joints count, the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) (millimeters per hour [mm/hour]) or the C-reactive protein (CRP) and patient's global assessment (PtGA) of disease activity (participant rate arthritis activity using visual analog scale [VAS] ranging from 0 to 100; higher scores indicated greater affectation due to disease activity).
Baseline, Month 6, 12, 18, and 24 or Early Termination
Change From Baseline in Patient's Global Assessment (PtGA) at Month 6, 12, 18, and 24 or Early Termination
Time Frame: Baseline, Month 6, 12, 18, and 24 or Early Termination
Participant will rate arthritis activity using Visual Analog Scale (VAS) ranging from 0 to 100; higher scores indicated greater affectation due to disease activity.
Baseline, Month 6, 12, 18, and 24 or Early Termination
Change From Baseline in Physician Global Assessment of Disease Activity (MDGA) at Month 6, 12, 18, and 24 or Early Termination
Time Frame: Baseline, Month 6, 12, 18, and 24 or Early Termination
Physician will rate arthritis activity using Visual Analog Scale (VAS) ranging from 0 to 100; higher scores indicated greater affectation due to disease activity.
Baseline, Month 6, 12, 18, and 24 or Early Termination
Change From Baseline in Work Related Productivity at Month 6, 12, 18, and 24 or Early Termination
Time Frame: Baseline, Month 6, 12, 18, and 24 or Early Termination
Work related productivity (absenteeism, presenteeism, and impairment in daily activities) will be assessed using Work Productivity and Activity Impairment Questionnaire: Rheumatoid Arthritis (WPAI-RA), which consisted of 6 items: 1) Current employment status; 2) Number of hours missed due to a health problem; 3) Number of hours missed due to other reasons; 4) Hours actually worked; 5) Degree to which health affected productivity while working; 6) Degree to which health affected regular (non-work) activities.
Baseline, Month 6, 12, 18, and 24 or Early Termination
Change From Baseline in Quality of Life at Month 12 and 24 or Early Termination
Time Frame: Baseline, Month 12 and 24 or Early Termination
Quality of life will be assessed by 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36). SF-36 is a generic quality of life questionnaire that assesses 8 health concepts: 1) Limitations in physical activities because of health problems; 2) Limitations in social activities because of physical or emotional problems; 3) Limitations in usual role activities because of physical health problems; 4) Bodily pain; 5) General mental health (psychological distress and well-being); 6) Limitations in usual role activities because of emotional problems; 7) Vitality (energy and fatigue); 8) General health perceptions.
Baseline, Month 12 and 24 or Early Termination
Change From Baseline in Functional Status at Month 6, 12, 18, and 24 or Early Termination
Time Frame: Baseline, Month 6, 12, 18, and 24 or Early Termination
Functional status will be assessed by Health Assessment Questionnaire-Disability Index (HAQ-DI). HAQ-DI is a self-administered questionnaire measuring the participant's functional ability. It consists of 20 items converging to 8 scales measuring daily living activities: dress/groom; arise; eat; walk; hygiene; reach; grip; and common daily activities over past week. The participant rate each activity as 0 = without any difficulty, 1 = some difficulty, 2 = much difficulty and 3 = unable. The final score ranges from 0 to 3 with higher scores indicating more disability.
Baseline, Month 6, 12, 18, and 24 or Early Termination
Change from Baseline in Utilization of Health Care Resources at Month 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, and 24 or Early Termination
Time Frame: Baseline, Month 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, and 24 or Early Termination
Utilization of Health Care Resources will be measured by the Consumption of Health Care Resources Questionnaire, which includes 8 questions related to the participant's use of health care resources related to RA: 1) Extra or unscheduled visits to the study doctor office/clinic, 2) Visits to another physician/healthcare professional (like nurse, therapist, physiotherapist), 3) Visits to hospital emergency room/ total duration of stay (hours), 4) Use of an ambulance service, 5) Admitted to a hospital/ total duration of stay (hours), 6) Visit to a specialist, 7) Complementary alternative therapy visits, 8) Out of pocket expenses related to RA (for example over-the-counter medication, payments for health care professionals, medical procedures or laboratory tests, medical devices, health care or extra help at home, transportation costs, differences in cost of prescription medication not covered by insurance).
Baseline, Month 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, and 24 or Early Termination
Number of Participants with Adverse Events (AEs) Leading to Treatment Discontinuation
Time Frame: 24 months
24 months
Number of Participants with Serious adverse Events (SAE)
Time Frame: 24 months
An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. An SAE is an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly.
