Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of etanercept monotherapy compared to methotrexate monotherapy on maintenance of remission in subjects with rheumatoid arthritis who were on etanercept plus methotrexate combination therapy.;Secondary Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of etanercept plus methotrexate therapy compared to methotrexate monotherapy on maintenance of remission. To evaluate the efficacy of 1) etanercept monotherapy compared to methotrexate monotherapy and 2) etanercept plus methotrexate therapy compared to methotrexate monotherapy on: - disease activity - disease worsening and time to disease worsening - remission and time to recapture remission after rescue treatment ;Primary end point(s): Simplified Disease Activity Index (SDAI) remission (= 3.3);Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: week 48 | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): 1. SDAI score and change from baseline at all measured timepoints 2. Disease activity score (28 joint) calculated using the erythrocyte sedimentation rate formula (DAS-28-ESR) and change from baseline at all measured timepoints 3. Disease activity score (28 joint) using the C-reactive protein formula (DAS-28-CRP) and change from baseline at all measured timepoints 4. Clinical Disease Activity Index (CDAI) and change from baseline at all measured timepoints 5. SDAI remission (= 3.3) at all measured timepoints 6. Boolean remission at all measured timepoints 7. Disease worsening defined as an SDAI > 3.3 and = 11 during two consecutive visits at least 2 weeks apart or SDAI > 3.3 and = 11 on three or more separate visits or SDAI > 11 after randomization 8. Time to disease worsening defined as an SDAI > 3.3 and = 11 during two consecutive visits at least 2 weeks apart or SDAI > 3.3 and = 11 on three or more separate visits or SDAI > 11 after randomization 9. In subjects that receive rescue treatment: • Time to recapture SDAI remission after starting rescue treatment • SDAI remission at week 48;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: All subjects: •SDAI score, Disease activity score [DAS-28-ESR and DAS-28-CRP], Clinical Disease Activity Index, SDAI remission and Boolean remission evaluated Day 1, week 12, 24, 36 and 48 weeks. •Disease worsening defined as an SDAI > 3.3 and = 11 during two consecutive visits at least 2 weeks apart or SDAI > 3.3 and = 11 on three or more separate visits or SDAI > 11 after randomization. •Time to disease worsening defined as an SDAI > 3.3 and = 11 during two consecutive visits at least 2 weeks apart or SDAI > 3.3 and = 11 on three or more separate visits or SDAI > 11 after randomization. In subjects that receive rescue treatment during the double-blind treatment period: •Time to recapture SDAI remission after starting rescue treatment •SDAI remission at week 48 | — |
