Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: The primary objective of this trial is to establish an equivalence in efficacy between BI 695501 and US-licensed Humira® in patients with active RA based on a statistical comparison of the proportion of patients meeting ACR20 response rate at Week 12 and ACR 20 response rate at Week 24 between BI 695501 and US-licensed Humira®.;Secondary Objective: The secondary objectives of this trial are to compare the efficacy, safety and immunogenicity of BI 695501 and US-licensed Humira® in patients with active RA, including those undergoing the transition from US-licensed Humira® to BI 695501 after 24 weeks.;Primary end point(s): Endpoint 1.The proportion of patients meeting the ACR20 (American College of Rheumatology 20%) response criteria at Week 12 Endpoint 2.The proportion of patients meeting the ACR20 response criteria at Week 24;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Endpoint 1. Week 12 Endpoint 2. Week 24 | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): Endpoint 1: The change from Baseline in DAS28 (ESR) at Week 12 and at Week 24 Endpoint 2: The safety endpoint is defined as the proportion of patients with drug-related AEs during the treatment phase;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Endpoint 1: Week 12 and Week 24 Endpoint 2: Week 58 | — |
