Observational Study of Tocilizumab in Participants With Rheumatoid Arthritis in Australia

10 de junio de 2016 actualizado por: Hoffmann-La Roche

A Multi-National, Multi-Center Non-Interventional Study in Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) Patients Treated With Tocilizumab (ACT-UP)

This multi-center, observational study will evaluate the treatment patterns in clinical practice, efficacy and safety of tocilizumab in participants with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who have had an inadequate response (or were intolerant to) treatment with non-biological disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) or with one biological agent. Data will be collected from each eligible participant initiated on tocilizumab treatment by their treating physician according to approved label for 6 months from start of treatment.

Percentage of participants on tocilizumab treatment at Month 6 was calculated as: [(participants on tocilizumab treatment at Month 6) divided by (participants evaluable for primary objective)] multiplied by 100.
Month 6
Patient Assessment of Pain Using Visual Analog Scale (VAS) at Baseline
Periodo de tiempo: Baseline
Participants measured the pain intensity due to RA on a 100 millimeter (mm) VAS, where the responses were on a continuous range from 0 = no pain to 100 = unbearable pain.
Baseline
Patient Global Assessment of Disease Activity Using VAS at Baseline
Periodo de tiempo: Baseline
The patient's global assessment of disease activity was measured using a 100 mm VAS, where the responses were on a continuous range from 0 = managing very well to 100 = managing very poorly.
Baseline
Physician Global Assessment of Disease Activity Using VAS at Baseline
Periodo de tiempo: Baseline
Physician global assessment of disease activity was assessed on a 100 mm VAS, where 0 = no arthritis activity to 100 = extremely active arthritis.
Baseline
Health Assessment Questionnaire Disability Index (HAQ-DI) Scores at Baseline
Periodo de tiempo: Baseline
The HAQ-DI is a questionnaire that measures functional status (disability) and health-related quality of life. It measures the participant's ability to perform everyday tasks. The index consists of 20 questions regarding the function of the upper and lower extremities. These questions are summarized in 8 categories: dressing and grooming, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip, and common activities over past week. Each question is evaluated according to the degree of severity on a 4-point scale. Total score for HAQ-DI is the average of all questions and ranges from 0 = without any difficulty to 3 = unable to do.
Baseline
Tender Joint Count (TJC) and Swollen Joint Count (SJC) at Baseline
Periodo de tiempo: Baseline
TJC was determined by examining 28 and 68 joints and identifying the joints that were painful under pressure or to passive motion. Tenderness was recorded on the joint assessment form at baseline, no tenderness = 0, tenderness = 1. SJC was determined by examining 28 and 66 joints and identifying when swelling was present. Swelling was recorded on the joint assessment form at baseline, no swelling = 0, swelling =1.
Baseline
Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) at Baseline
Periodo de tiempo: Baseline
ESR is a laboratory test that provides a non-specific measure of inflammation. The test assesses the rate at which red blood cells fall in a test tube. Normal range is 0-30 millimeters per hour (mm/hr). A decrease in the level indicates reduction in inflammation and therefore improvement.
Baseline
C-Reactive Protein (CRP) at Baseline
Periodo de tiempo: Baseline
The test for CRP is a laboratory measurement for evaluation of an acute phase reactant of inflammation through the use of an ultrasensitive assay. A decrease in the level of CRP indicates reduction in inflammation and therefore improvement.
