E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
Determine whether baricitinib monotherapy is noninferior to MTX monotherapy in the treatment of patients with moderate to severe active RA who have had limited or no treatment with MTX and are naive to other conventional or biologic DMARDs, as assessed by the proportion of patients achieving a 20% improvement in American College of Rheumatology criteria (ACR20) at Week 24. |
Stabilire se la monoterapia con baricitinib sia non inferiore rispetto alla monoterapia con MTX nel trattamento di pazienti affetti da AR attiva da moderata a grave, con esposizione limitata o assente alla terapia con MTX e naïve nei riguardi di altri DMARD tradizionali o biologici, come valutato mediante la percentuale di pazienti che consegue un miglioramento del 20% nei criteri dell'American College of Rheumatology (ACR20) alla Settimana 24. |

E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
• proportion of patients achieving ACR20 at Week 24 for baricitinib plus MTX versus MTX monotherapy • change from baseline to Week 24 in Health Assessment Questionnaire-Disability Index (HAQ-DI) score • change from baseline to Week 24 in DAS28–high-sensitivity C reactive protein (hsCRP) • change from baseline to Week 24 in structural joint damage as measured by modified Total Sharp Score (mTSS [van der Heijde method]) for baricitinib plus MTX versus MTX monotherapy • area under the curve (AUC) up to Week 24 in HAQ-DI score for baricitinib monotherapy versus MTX monotherapy • AUC up to Week 24 in DAS28-hsCRP score for baricitinib monotherapy versus MTX monotherapy |
