Brief summary

This is an observational trial in Rheumatoid Arthritis and Crohn's Disease patients treated with Cimzia aiming to evaluate the risk and incidence of Tuberculosis.

Detailed description

This is a prospective non interventional study. Patients enrolled in this study will receive Cimzia on prescription according to the instructions for use approved in Russia and within the frame of current standard clinical practices. The patient is evaluated at the Screening Visit for enrollment. A Baseline Visit is to be scheduled no more than 28 days after the Screening Visit. Subsequent evaluations are done routinely every 6 months.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Incidence of Tuberculosis infection or reactivation during the studyFrom Baseline to Week 156 (Visit 7)The incidence of Tuberculosis (TB) infection or reactivation is assessed by routine TB diagnostic tests (Chest X-ray, skin test, Interferon-γ-release assays recognizing antigens representing 2 Mycobacterium tuberculosis proteins (preferably both blood and skin tests), ESAT-6 and CFP-10)

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change from Baseline in Disease Activity Score [Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate] (DAS28 [ESR]) in Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) patients at Week 52From Baseline to Week 52 (Visit 3)DAS28\[ESR\] is calculated using the Tender Joint Count (TJC), Swollen Joint Count (SJC) Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR in mm/hour), and the Patient's Global Assessment of Disease Activity - Visual Analog Scale (VAS in mm) using the following formula: 0.56 x √(TJC) + 0.28 x √(SJC) + 0.70 x lognat (ESR) + 0.014 x Global Assessment of Arthritis where 28 joints are examined and a lower score indicates less disease activity.

Incidence of Adverse Events during the studyFrom Baseline to Week 156 (Visit 7)An Adverse Event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation patient administered a pharmaceutical product which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product, whether or not related to the medicinal (investigational) product.
