Week 24

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percentage of Participants Achieving American College of Rheumatology 20% Improvement (ACR20)
Time Frame: Week 52
ACR20 Responder Index is a composite of clinical, laboratory, and functional measures in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). "ACR20 Responder" is a participant who has at least 20% improvement in both tender and swollen joint counts and in at least 3 of the following 5 criteria: Physician's Global Assessment of Disease Activity, Patient's Global Assessment of Disease Activity using visual analog scale (VAS), Health Assessment Questionnaire-Disability Index (HAQ-DI), pain due to arthritis, and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP). Participants with missing responses and participants who discontinued study or drug or were rescued before analysis time point were deemed non-responders.
Week 52
Change From Baseline in Health Assessment Questionnaire-Disability Index (HAQ-DI) Score
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 24
HAQ-DI assesses the participant's self-perception on the degree of difficulty [0 (without any difficulty), 1 (with some difficulty), 2 (with much difficulty), and 3 (unable to do)] when dressing and grooming, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reaching, gripping, and performing other daily activities. Scores for each functional area are averaged to calculate the HAQ-DI score, which ranges from 0 (no disability) to 3 (worst disability). A decrease in HAQ-DI score indicates an improvement in the participant's condition.
Baseline, Week 24
Change From Baseline in the Disease Activity Score Based on a 28-Joint Count and High-sensitivity C-reactive Protein (DAS28-hsCRP)
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 24
Disease Activity Score (DAS) modified to include 28 joint count (DAS28) consisted of a composite score of the following variables: tender joint count (TJC28), swollen joint count (SJC28), C-reactive protein (CRP) (milligrams per liter), and Patient's Global Assessment of Disease Activity. DAS28 was calculated using the following formula: DAS28-CRP=0.56*square root (sqrt)(TJC28)+0.28*sqrt(SJC28)+0.36*natural log(CRP+1)+0.014*Patient's Global VAS+0.96. Scores ranged 1.0-9.4, where lower scores indicated less disease activity.
Baseline, Week 24
Change From Baseline in the Modified Total Sharp Score (mTSS)
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 24

X-rays of the hands/wrists and feet were scored for structural progression as measured using the mTSS (van der Heijde 2000). This methodology quantified the extent of bone erosions and joint space narrowing for 44 and 42 joints, with higher scores representing greater damage.

The mTSS at a time point is the sum of the erosion (range from 0 to 280) and JSN (range from 0 to 168) scores, for a maximum score of 448.

Baseline, Week 24
Percentage of Participants Who Achieved a Simplified Disease Activity Index (SDAI) Score ≤3.3
Time Frame: Week 24
SDAI is a tool for measurement of disease activity in RA that integrates TJC28, SJC28, acute phase response using C-reactive protein (milligrams per liter), Patient's Global Assessment of Disease Activity using VAS centimeters (cm), and Physician's Global Assessment of Disease Activity using VAS (cm). The SDAI is calculated by summing the values of the 5 components. Lower scores indicated less disease activity. An index-based definition of remission occurs with an SDAI score ≤3.3.
Week 24
Percentage of Participants Achieving American College of Rheumatology 50% (ACR50) Response
Time Frame: Week 12, Week 24, Week 52
ACR50 Responder Index is composite of clinical, laboratory, and functional measures in RA. "ACR50 Responder" is a participant who has at least 50% improvement in both tender and swollen joint counts and in at least 3 of the following 5 criteria: Physician's Global Assessment of Disease Activity, Patient's Global Assessment of Disease Activity, HAQ-DI, pain due to arthritis, and hsCRP. Participants with missing responses and participants who discontinued study or drug or were rescued before analysis time point were deemed non-responders.
Week 12, Week 24, Week 52
Percentage of Participants Achieving American College of Rheumatology 70% (ACR70) Response
Time Frame: Week 12, Week 24, Week 52
ACR70 Responder Index is composite of clinical, laboratory, and functional measures in RA. "ACR70 Responder" is a participant who has at least 70% improvement in both tender and swollen joint counts and in at least 3 of the following 5 criteria: Physician's Global Assessment of Disease Activity, Patient's Global Assessment of Disease Activity, HAQ-DI, pain due to arthritis, and hsCRP. Participants with missing responses and participants who discontinued study or drug or were rescued before analysis timepoint were deemed non-responders.
Week 12, Week 24, Week 52
Change From Baseline in Clinical Disease Activity Index (CDAI) Score
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 24; Baseline, Week 52
The CDAI is a tool for measurement of disease activity in RA that does not require a laboratory component and was scored by the investigative site. It integrates TJC28 (scored 0-28 with higher scores indicating higher disease activity), SJC28 (scored 0-28 with higher scores indicating higher disease activity), Patient's Global Assessment of Disease Activity (scored on a visual analogue scale from 0-10 cm with higher scores indicating higher disease activity), and Physician's Global Assessment of Disease Activity (scored on a visual analogue scale from 0-10 cm with higher scores indicating higher disease activity). The CDAI is calculated by summing the values of the 4 components. CDAI scores range from 0 to 76; lower scores indicated lower disease activity. A negative change from baseline indicates improvement in condition.
Baseline, Week 24; Baseline, Week 52
Change From Baseline in Disease Activity Score 28-Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (DAS28-ESR)
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 24; Baseline, Week 52
DAS28 consisted of a composite score of the following variables: tender joint count (TJC28), swollen joint count (SJC28), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) (millimeters per hour), and Patient's Global Assessment of Disease Activity. DAS28 was calculated using the following formula: DAS28-ESR=0.56*square root (sqrt)(TJC28)+0.28*sqrt(SJC28)+0.70*natural log(ESR)+0.014*Patient's Global VAS. Scores ranged 1.0-9.4, where lower scores indicated less disease activity.
Baseline, Week 24; Baseline, Week 52
Percentage of Participants Achieving American College of Rheumatology/European League Against Rheumatism (ACR/EULAR) Remission
Time Frame: Week 12, Week 24, Week 52
The ACR/EULAR definitions of RA remission include a "Boolean-based definition". The Boolean-based definition of remission occurs when all 4 of the following criteria are met at the same visit: TJC28 ≤1, SJC28 ≤1, acute phase response using C-reactive protein (milligrams per deciliter) ≤1, Patient's Global Assessment of Disease Activity using VAS (cm) ≤1.
Week 12, Week 24, Week 52
Change From Baseline in Joint Space Narrowing and Bone Erosion Scores
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 24; Baseline, Week 52
X-rays of the hands/wrists and feet were assessed for joint space narrowing (JSN) and bone erosions. Assessment of JSN for each hand (15 joints per hand) and foot (6 joints per foot), including subluxation, is scored from 0 to 4, with 0 indicating no (normal) JSN and 4 indicating complete loss of joint space, bony ankylosis or luxation. JSN scores ranged from 0-168. A score of 0 would indicate no change and higher scores represent a worsening of joint space narrowing. The bone erosion score is a summary of erosion severity in 32 joints of the hands and 12 joints of the feet. Each joint is scored according to the surface area involved from 0 to 5 for hand joints and 0 to 10 for the foot joints, with 0 indicating no erosion and the highest score (5 for the hand and 10 for the foot) indicating extensive loss of bone from more than one half of the articulating bone. Erosion scores ranged from 0 (no erosion) to 280 (high erosion).
Baseline, Week 24; Baseline, Week 52
Change From Baseline in Duration of Morning Joint Stiffness
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 52
Participants reported the duration of their morning joint stiffness (MJS) in hours and minutes. The participants were asked about their duration of morning joint stiffness on the day prior to the study visit to capture actual symptoms, since the participant may have had an atypical morning routine on the day of the study visit. If morning joint stiffness duration was longer than 12 hours (720 minutes), it was truncated to 720 minutes for statistical presentations and analyses. A decrease in duration of morning joint stiffness indicated an improvement in the participant's condition.
Baseline, Week 52
Change From Baseline in Worst Tiredness Numeric Rating Scale (NRS)
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 24; Baseline Week 52
Participants rated their tiredness by selecting a number from 0 to 10 that best described their worst tiredness during the last 24 hours, where 0 represents "no tiredness" and 10 represents "as bad as you can imagine".
Baseline, Week 24; Baseline Week 52
Change From Baseline in Worst Joint Pain Numeric Rating Scale (NRS)
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 24; Baseline Week 52
Participants rated their joint pain by selecting a number from 0 to 10 that best described their worst joint pain during the last 24 hours, where 0 represents "no pain" and 10 represents "pain as bad as you can imagine".
Baseline, Week 24; Baseline Week 52
Change From Baseline in Mental Component Score (MCS) and Physical Component Score (PCS) of the Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short Form Health Survey Version 2 Acute (SF-36v2 Acute)
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 24; Baseline Week 52
The SF-36 is a health-related survey that assesses participant's quality of life and consists of 36 questions covering 8 health domains: physical functioning, bodily pain, role limitations due to physical problems and emotional problems, general health, mental health, social functioning, vitality, and 2 component scores (MCS and PCS). MCS consisted of social functioning, vitality, mental health, and role-emotional scales. PCS consisted of physical functioning, bodily pain, role-physical, and general health scales. Each domain is scored by summing the individual items and transforming the scores into a 0 to 100 scale with higher scores indicating better health status or functioning.
Baseline, Week 24; Baseline Week 52
Change From Baseline in European Quality of Life-5 Dimensions-5 Level (EQ-5D-5L) Scores
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 24; Baseline Week 52
European Quality of Life-5 Dimensions-5 Level (EQ-5D-5L) is a standardized measure of health status of the participant. One component consists of a descriptive system of the respondent's health comprised of the following 5 participant-reported dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. Each dimension has 5 levels: no problems, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems, and extreme problems. The responses are used to derive the health state index scores using the United Kingdom (UK) algorithm, with scores ranging from -0.594 to 1, and the United States (US) algorithm, with scores ranging from -0.109 to 1. A higher score indicates better health state.
Baseline, Week 24; Baseline Week 52
Change From Baseline in European Quality of Life-5 Dimensions-5 Level (EQ-5D-5L) Scores (Self-Perceived Health)
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 24; Baseline Week 52
A second component of the EQ-5D-5L is a self-perceived health score which is assessed using a VAS that ranges from 0 to 100 millimeter (mm), where 0 indicates the worst health you can imagine and 100 indicates the best health you can imagine.
Baseline, Week 24; Baseline Week 52
Change From Baseline in Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue (FACIT-F) Scores
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 24; Baseline Week 52
The Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue (FACIT-F) Scale is a13-item, symptom-specific questionnaire that specifically assesses the participant's self-reported severity of fatigue and its impact upon daily activities and functioning. The FACIT-F uses a numeric rating scale of 0 ("Not at all") to 4 ("Very much") for each item to assess fatigue and its impact in the past 7 days. Total scores range from 0 to 52, with higher scores indicating less fatigue.
Baseline, Week 24; Baseline Week 52
Change From Baseline in Work Productivity and Activity Impairment-Rheumatoid Arthritis (WPAI-RA) Scores
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 24; Baseline Week 52
The Work Productivity and Activity Impairment-Rheumatoid Arthritis (WPAI-RA) questionnaire was developed to measure the effect of general health and symptom severity on work productivity and regular activities in the 7 days prior to the visit. It contains 6 items covering overall work productivity (health), overall work productivity (symptom), impairment of regular activities (health), and impairment of regular activities (symptom). Scores are calculated as impairment percentages. The WPAI-RA yields four types of scores: Absenteeism (work time missed), Presenteeism (impairment at work), Work productivity loss (overall work impairment), and Activity impairment.
