Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| General Health Visual Analog Scale (VAS) | Baseline, Week 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48, 52 | 100 mm line (VAS) marked by participant. Participants were asked, How do you feel concerning your arthritis? Total possible score range, 0 mm = very well to 100 mm = extremely bad. |
| Health Assessment Questionnaire Disability Index (HAQ-DI) | Baseline, Week 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48, 52 | HAQ-DI: participant-reported assessment of ability to perform tasks: 1) dress/groom; 2) arise; 3) eat; 4) walk; 5) reach; 6) grip; 7) hygiene; and 8) common activities over past week. Each item scored on 4-point Likert scale from 0 to 3: 0=no difficulty; 1=some difficulty; 2=much difficulty; 3=unable to do. The overall disability index computed as the sum of domain scores and divided by the number of domains answered. Total possible score range 0-3 where 0 = least difficulty and 3 = extreme difficulty. |
| Disease Activity Score Based on 28-joints Count (DAS28) | Baseline, Week 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48, 52 | DAS28 calculated from the number of swollen joints (SJC) and painful joints (PJC) using the 28 joints count, the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) (millimeters per hour \[mm/hour\]) and participant's general health visual analog scale (scores ranging 0 \[very well\] to 100 mm \[extremely bad\]). DAS28 less than or equal to (=\<) 3.2 = low disease activity, DAS28 greater than (\>) 3.2 to 5.1 = moderate to high disease activity. |
| 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) | Baseline, Week 12, 24, 36, 52 | SF-36 is a standardized survey evaluating 8 aspects of functional health and well being: physical and social functioning, physical and emotional role limitations, bodily pain, general health, vitality, mental health. The score for a section is an average of the individual question scores, which are scaled 0-100 (100=highest level of functioning). |
| Euro Quality of Life (EQ-5D)- Health State Profile Utility Score | Baseline, Week 12, 24, 36, 52 | EQ-5D: participant rated questionnaire to assess health-related quality of life in terms of a single utility score. Health State Profile component assesses level of current health for 5 domains: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain and discomfort, and anxiety and depression; 1 indicates better health state (no problems); 3 indicates worst health state (eg, confined to bed). Scoring formula developed by EuroQol Group assigns utility value for each domain in the profile. Score is transformed and results in total score range -0.594 to 1.000; higher score indicates a better health state. |
| Euro Quality of Life (EQ-5D)- Visual Analog Scale (VAS) | Baseline, Week 12, 24, 36, 52 | EQ-5D: participant rated questionnaire to assess health-related quality of life in terms of a single index value.

Larger the participant's response to the questions (with the exception of 2 negatively stated), greater was the participant's fatigue. For all questions, except for the 2 negatively stated ones, the code was reversed and a new score was calculated as (4 minus the participant's response). The sum of all responses resulted in the FACIT-Fatigue score for a total possible score of 0 (worse score) to 52 (better score). |

Four scores are derived: percent work time missed due to health, percent impairment while working due to health, percent overall work impairment due to health and percent activity impairment due to health. Total possible score range: 0 to 100, where 0 = no impairment and 100 = completely impaired. |

Physician Global Assessment (PGA) of Disease Activity
Physician Global Assessment of Disease Activity was measured on a 0 to 10 point scale, where 0 = no disease activity and 10 = extreme disease activity.
Time frame: Baseline, Week 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48, 52
Population: mITT population included all randomized participants who received any portion of test article. LOCF method was used to impute missing values. Data for time points after Week 24 were not analyzed because of early termination of the study.

Work Productivity and Activity Impairment Questionnaire: Rheumatoid Arthritis (WPAI-RA) Score
WPAI-RA consisted of 6 items, a binary question on current employment, 3 questions on hours of work and work-loss, and 2 questions based on 0-10 point scale to judge how RA affects productivity at work and outside of work (0 = no effect on work and 10 = completely prevented from working). Four scores are derived: percent work time missed due to health, percent impairment while working due to health, percent overall work impairment due to health and percent activity impairment due to health. Total possible score range: 0 to 100, where 0 = no impairment and 100 = completely impaired.
Time frame: Baseline, Week 12, 24, 36, 52
Population: Data was not analyzed because development of TRU-015 was discontinued as results of primary analysis did not meet the predefined efficacy criteria.
