Study in Patients With Moderated to Severe Rheumatoid Arthritis Who Have Failed to Combination Therapy of Conventional Disease-modifying Antirheumatic Drugs (cDMARDs) to cDMARD Plus ANti-TNF Versus cDMARDs in Real World (HUMAN)

December 14, 2020 updated by: Eisai Korea Inc.

An Observational Study in Patients With Moderated to Severe Rheumatoid Arthritis Who Have Failed to Combination Therapy of Conventional Disease-modifying Antirheumatic Drugs (cDMARDs) to cDMARD Plus Anti-TNF Versus cDMARDs in Real World ["HUMAN" Study]

This study will be conducted to observe the disease activity change of Conventional Disease Modifying Anti-Rheumatic Drugs (cDMARD) plus anti-tumour necrosis factor (anti-TNF) from baseline to 6 months compared with cDMARDs, as measured by the disease activity score with the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (DAS28-ESR).

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

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Child
  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Probability Sample

Study Population

Male and female participants diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), who have no experience with anti-tumor necrosis factor (anti-TNF) and who have experienced two or more Conventional Disease Modifying Anti-Rheumatic Drugs (cDMARDs) of a stable dose for at least 3 months.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis within 3 years
  • Participants who have no experience with anti-tumor necrosis factor (anti-TNF)
  • Participants who have experienced two or more Conventional Disease Modifying Anti-Rheumatic Drugs (cDMARDs) of a stable dose for at least 3 months prior to informed consent

  • Participants who change the treatment regimen to one of the following according to the opinion of the investigator:

    1. One cDMARD plus anti-TNF
    2. Two or more cDMARDs: Modifications or additions of cDMARDs that have been treated prior to informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Participants who may be pregnant or lactating women
  • Participants who have contraindication to anti-TNF

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort

Group / Cohort

A group or subgroup of participants in an observational study that is assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
Participants with RA with cDMARD, but no anti-TNF experience

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 from Baseline in the disease activity score 28-erythrocyte sedimentation rate DAS28-ESR at Month 6
Time Frame: Baseline; Month 6
DAS28 is a quantitative tool used to measure and monitor disease activity and "the treatment" of rheumatoid arthritis. DAS28 uses a formula that includes the number of tender joints and swollen joints for a maximum of 28 joints. DAS28 is used to assess whether an individual participant has a significant improvement of the disease activity, compared to baseline. A DAS28 score greater than 5.1 implies active disease, a score less than 3.2 implies low disease activity, and a score less than 2.6 implies remission.
Baseline; Month 6

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 from Baseline in the DAS28-ESR at Month 3
Time Frame: Baseline; Month 3
DAS28 is a quantitative tool used to measure and monitor disease activity and "the treatment" of rheumatoid arthritis. DAS28 uses a formula that includes the number of tender joints and swollen joints for a maximum of 28 joints. DAS28 is used to assess whether an individual participant has a significant improvement of the disease activity, compared to baseline. A DAS28 score greater than 5.1 implies active disease, a score less than 3.2 implies low disease activity, and a score less than 2.6 implies remission.
Baseline; Month 3
Change from Baseline in the DAS28-ESR at Month 12
Time Frame: Baseline; Month 12
DAS28 is a quantitative tool used to measure and monitor disease activity and "the treatment" of rheumatoid arthritis. DAS28 uses a formula that includes the number of tender joints and swollen joints for a maximum of 28 joints. DAS28 is used to assess whether an individual participant has a significant improvement of the disease activity, compared to baseline. A DAS28 score greater than 5.1 implies active disease, a score less than 3.2 implies low disease activity, and a score less than 2.6 implies remission.
Baseline; Month 12
Clinical remission rate measured by DAS28-ESR
Time Frame: Up to 12 months
Clinical remission is defined as no tender or swollen joints and a normal erythrocyte sedimentation rate. DAS28 will be used to measure disease activity.
Up to 12 months
Success rates of dose-reduction and discontinuation of steroid(s)
Time Frame: Up to 12 months
Dose reduction is defined as a reduction by more than 50% compared to baseline.
Up to 12 months
Scores on the Korean Health Assessment Questionnaire (KHAQ-20), as a measure of quality of life
Time Frame: Up to 12 months
The KHAQ-20 is a participant-assessed measure of health assessment comprised of 8 indices. Scores for each index range from 0 (no difficulty to do) to 3 (unable to do). The total score is a sum of the 8 index score and ranges from 0 to 24. Higher scores indicate more severe disease.
Up to 12 months
