Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of etanercept plus methotrexate therapy and etanercept monotherapy compared to methotrexate monotherapy, in subjects with psoriatic arthritis as measured by the proportion of subjects achieving an American College of Rheumatology 20 response at week 24.;Secondary Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of etanercept plus methotrexate therapy and etanercept monotherapy compared to methotrexate monotherapy as measured by the proportion of subjects achieving Minimal Disease Activity. To evaluate the efficacy of etanercept plus methotrexate therapy and etanercept monotherapy compared to methotrexate monotherapy on the following: •Other measures of arthritis activity •Measures of non-arthritic psoriatic arthritis disease activity •Key patient reported outcomes related to physical function and quality of life;Primary end point(s): American College of Rheumatology (ACR 20) response at week 24;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: ACR 20 response at week 24

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): To evaluate the efficacy of etanercept plus methotrexate therapy and etanercept monotherapy compared to methotrexate monotherapy on the following: •Other measures of arthritis activity •Measures of non-arthritic PsA disease activity •Key patient reported outcomes (PRO) related to physical function and quality of life ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: • Minimal Disease Activity (MDA) response of arthritis activity at week 24 •Minimal Disease Activity (MDA) response for measures of non-arthritic PSA disease activity at week 24 •Minimal Disease Activity (MDA) response of patient reported outcomes at week 24.
