| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To demonstrate the superiority in efficacy of abatacept compared with adalimumab, both on background MTX, in achieving clinical response (ACR50) at Week 24, in early, seropositive (RF+ and ACPA+) RA patients with the SE HLA Class II risk alleles (ie, SE+).;Secondary Objective: To compare the efficacy of abatacept with adalimumab, both on background MTX in achieving: - clinical remission criteria (DAS28-CRP remission) at Week 24 in early, seropositive RA patients with the SE HLA Class II risk alleles (ie, SE+). - clinical response (ACR50) at Week 24 in the whole study population of early, seropositive RA patients. - clinical remission criteria (CDAI remission) at Week 24 in early, seropositive RA patients with the SE HLA Class II risk alleles (ie, SE+). - improvement in pain at Week 24 in early, seropositive RA patients with the SE HLA Class II risk alleles (ie, SE+). To determine: - the efficacy over time by treatment in early, seropositive RA patients (SE+ subset and whole population). - the improvement in health-related quality of life over time by treatment in early, seropositive RA patients (SE+ subset and whole population).;Primary end point(s): Proportion of SE+ participants meeting ACR50 response at Week 24;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: At Week 24 | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): 1. Proportion of SE+ participants achieving DAS28-CRP remission (DAS28-CRP < 2.6) at Week 24 2. Proportion of whole study population participants meeting ACR50 response at Week 24 3. Proportion of SE+ participants achieving CDAI remission (CDAI = 2.8) at Week 24 4. Mean change from baseline in SE+ participant-reported pain (VAS) at Week 24 5. Proportion of SE+ subset and whole population achieving ACR20/50/70 responses, DAS remission, CDAI remission, SDAI remission over the SBTP and OLTP; mean changes from baseline in DAS28-CRP, CDAI, SDAI over the SBTP and OLTP; mean changes from baseline in the 7 ACR core components over the SBTP and OLTP 6. Mean change from baseline in SF-36 in SE+ subset and whole population at Week 24 and Week 104 (4 physical and 4 mental subscales and the physical component and mental component summary);Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 1-4. At Week 24 5. Over the SBTP and OLTP 6. At Week 24 and Week 104 | — |
