What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Change from Baseline in Disease Activity Index Score 28 Using C-reactive Protein (DAS28-CRP) at Week 12
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 12
|
Change from baseline in DAS28-CRP score at Week 12 will be reported.
DAS28-CRP is combined index used to assess rheumatoid arthritis (RA) disease activity, calculated based on the tender joint count (out of 28 evaluated joints), swollen joint count (out of 28 evaluated joints), CRP, and patient's global assessment of disease activity.
The set of 28 joint count is based on evaluation of the shoulder, elbow, wrist, metacarpophalangeal (MCP)1, MCP2, MCP3, MCP4, MCP5, proximal interphalangeal (PIP)1, PIP2, PIP3, PIP4, PIP5 joints of both the upper right extremity and the upper left extremity as well as the knee joints of lower right and lower left extremities.
Lower scores indicate better disease control and higher scores indicate worse disease control.
