MeasureTime frameDescription
Percentage of Participants With an American College of Rheumatology (ACR) 20 Response at Day 169 in Short Term PeriodDay 169The ACR score of 20 indicates the degree of improvement in a patient's rheumatoid arthritis (RA), based on ACR guidelines (ACR20). The ACR score represents a percentage. To qualify for an ACR20 score, the patient must have \>=20% fewer tender joints and \>=20% fewer swollen joints and show 20% improvement in at least 3 of: patient overall assessment of his/her RA, physician global assessment of the patient's RA, patient self-assessment of pain, patient self-assessment of physical functioning, and results of an erythrocyte sedimentation rate or C-reactive protein test (to assess inflammation). Percentage is calculated n/N with n=number of participants with ACR score of 20 and N= all randomized participants who received at least one dose of study drug.
Percentage of Participants With Sustained American College of Rheumatology (ACR) Response at Day 533 in Long Term Period - All Randomized and Treated Participants During the Long Term PeriodDay 533The ACR score indicates the degree of improvement in a patient's rheumatoid arthritis (RA), based on ACR guidelines. The ACR score= a percentage. To qualify for a score of 20, 50 or 70 (ACR20, ACR50 or ACR70), the patient must have \>=20%, \>=50% or \>=70%, respectively, fewer tender joints and \>=20%, \>=50% or \>=70%, respectively, fewer swollen joints and show 20%, 50% or 70%, respectively, improvement in at least 3 of the following: patient overall assessment of his/her RA, physician global assessment of the patient's RA, patient self-assessment of pain, patient self-assessment of physical functioning, and results of an erythrocyte sedimentation rate or C-reactive protein test (to assess inflammation). Treatment groups represent treatment received in the short term period. Percentage calculated as n/m with n=number of paticipants with sustained ACR response at Day 533; m= long term participants who received at least one dose of drug and were ACR responders in the short term period.
Mean Change From Baseline in HAQ-DI Score at Day 533 in Long Term PeriodBaseline to Day 533Adjusted mean. The Health Assessment Questionnaire Disability Index (HAQ-DI) assesses patients' functional ability by rating their abilities over the previous week. At least 2 questions are asked from each of 8 categories: dressing and grooming, hygiene, arising, reach, eating, grip, walking, and common daily activities. Patients rate difficulty performing specific tasks: 0=without difficulty, 1=with some difficulty, 2=with much difficulty, and 3=unable to do. The sum of the categories score (the highest scored item in the category) is divided by the number of categories answered, yielding a score from 0-3. Treatment groups represent treatment received in the short term period. Baseline is Day 1 of the study or last non-missing pre-treatment value.
Percentage of Participants With Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) Response at Day 533 in Long Term PeriodDay 533The Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) disability index assesses patients' functional ability by rating their abilities over the previous week. At least 2 questions are asked from each of 8 categories: dressing and grooming, hygiene, arising, reach, eating, grip, walking, and common daily activities. Patients rate difficulty performing specific tasks: 0=without difficulty, 1=with some difficulty, 2=with much difficulty, and 3=unable to do. The higher the number the worse the outcome. The sum of the categories score (the highest scored item in the category) is divided by the number of categories answered, yielding a score from 0-3. HAQ response=reduction of at least 0.30 units in HAQ score from baseline. The percentage of participants with a reduction of at least 0.30 units in their HAQ score from baseline is presented. Baseline is Day 1 of the study or last non-missing pre-treatment value. Treatment groups represent treatment received in the short term period.
Mean Change in DAS28-CRP From Baseline at Day 533 in Long Term PeriodBaseline to Day 533The Disease Activity Score 28 using C-Reactive Protein (DAS28-CRP) is a measure of disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and assesses the 28 joints RA commonly affects; the score includes the number of tender and swollen joints (out of 28), CRP level (a measure of inflammation in the blood), and the patient's global assessment of health (ranging from very good to very bad). An overall DAS \>5.1 implies active disease; \<3.2, well controlled disease; and \<2.6, remission.). Treatment groups represent treatment received in the short term period. Baseline is Day 1 of the study or last non-missing pre-treatment value.

Baseline is Day 1 of the study or last non-missing pre-treatment value.

Time frame: Baseline to Day 533

Population: Participants treated with at least 1 dose of study drug and who had both baseline and post-baseline measurements were analyzed.

Percentage of Participants With an American College of Rheumatology (ACR) 20 Response at Day 169 in Short Term Period

The ACR score of 20 indicates the degree of improvement in a patient's rheumatoid arthritis (RA), based on ACR guidelines (ACR20). The ACR score represents a percentage. To qualify for an ACR20 score, the patient must have \>=20% fewer tender joints and \>=20% fewer swollen joints and show 20% improvement in at least 3 of: patient overall assessment of his/her RA, physician global assessment of the patient's RA, patient self-assessment of pain, patient self-assessment of physical functioning, and results of an erythrocyte sedimentation rate or C-reactive protein test (to assess inflammation). Percentage is calculated n/N with n=number of participants with ACR score of 20 and N= all randomized participants who received at least one dose of study drug.

Time frame: Day 169

Population: N= All randomized participants who received at least 1 dose of study medication and were analyzed. n=number of participants with ACR20 response at Day 169: 54, 49, respectively. n/N= percentage: 54/59; 49/59.

Percentage of Participants With Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) Response at Day 533 in Long Term Period

The Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) disability index assesses patients' functional ability by rating their abilities over the previous week. At least 2 questions are asked from each of 8 categories: dressing and grooming, hygiene, arising, reach, eating, grip, walking, and common daily activities. Patients rate difficulty performing specific tasks: 0=without difficulty, 1=with some difficulty, 2=with much difficulty, and 3=unable to do. The higher the number the worse the outcome. The sum of the categories score (the highest scored item in the category) is divided by the number of categories answered, yielding a score from 0-3. HAQ response=reduction of at least 0.30 units in HAQ score from baseline. The percentage of participants with a reduction of at least 0.30 units in their HAQ score from baseline is presented. Baseline is Day 1 of the study or last non-missing pre-treatment value. Treatment groups represent treatment received in the short term period.

Time frame: Day 533

Population: N=number of participants treated with at least 1 dose of study drug and with HAQ data available. n=number of participants with HAQ response. n/N = 41/52 and 31/51 in SC and IV arms, respectively. Treatment groups represent treatment received in the short term period.

The ACR score indicates the degree of improvement in a patient's rheumatoid arthritis (RA), based on ACR guidelines. The ACR score= a percentage. To qualify for a score of 20, 50 or 70 (ACR20, ACR50 or ACR70), the patient must have \>=20%, \>=50% or \>=70%, respectively, fewer tender joints and \>=20%, \>=50% or \>=70%, respectively, fewer swollen joints and show 20%, 50% or 70%, respectively, improvement in at least 3 of the following: patient overall assessment of his/her RA, physician global assessment of the patient's RA, patient self-assessment of pain, patient self-assessment of physical functioning, and results of an erythrocyte sedimentation rate or C-reactive protein test (to assess inflammation). Treatment groups represent treatment received in the short term period.

Mean Change From Baseline at Six Months in DAS28-CRP - All Treated Participants

The Disease Activity Score 28 using C-Reactive Protein (DAS28-CRP) is a measure of disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and assesses the 28 joints RA commonly affects; the score includes the number of tender and swollen joints (out of 28), CRP level (a measure of inflammation in the blood), and the patient's global assessment of health (ranging from very good to very bad). An overall DAS \>5.1 implies active disease; \<3.2, well controlled disease; and \<2.6, remission.). Baseline is Day 1 or last non-missing pre-treatment value.

Time frame: Baseline to 6 Months

Population: All participants who received at least 1 dose of study medication with both baseline and post-baseline measurements were analyzed.

Mean Change From Baseline in HAQ-DI Score at Day 169 in Short Term Period

Adjusted mean. The Health Assessment Questionnaire Disability Index (HAQ-DI) assesses patients' functional ability by rating their abilities over the previous week. At least 2 questions are asked from each of 8 categories: dressing and grooming, hygiene, arising, reach, eating, grip, walking, and common daily activities. Patients rate difficulty performing specific tasks: 0=without difficulty, 1=with some difficulty, 2=with much difficulty, and 3=unable to do. The sum of the categories score (the highest scored item in the category) is divided by the number of categories answered, yielding a score from 0-3.

Percentage of Participants With American College of Rheumatology 50 (ACR50) and American College of Rheumatology 70 (ACR70) Responses at Day 169 in Short Term Period

The American College of Rheumatology (ACR) scores of 50 and 70 indicates the degree of improvement in a patient's rheumatoid arthritis (RA), based on ACR guidelines. The ACR score represents a percentage. To qualify for an ACR50 or ACR70 scores, the patient must have \>=50% or \>=70%, respectively, fewer tender joints and \>=50% or \>=70%, respectively, fewer swollen joints and show 50% or 70%, respectively, improvement in at least 3 of the following: patient overall assessment of his/her RA, physician global assessment of the patient's RA, patient self-assessment of pain, patient self-assessment of physical functioning, and results of an erythrocyte sedimentation rate or C-reactive protein test (to assess inflammation).
