Double Blind Phase: Change From Randomization in Disease Activity Score in 28 Joints Using 4 Variables (DAS28-4) (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate [ESR]) at Week 48

End point description

DAS28 is a measure of disease activity in subjects with RA. DAS28-4 (ESR) was calculated from swollen joint count(SJC) and tender/painful joint count (TJC) using 28 joints count, ESR (millimeters per hour [mm/hr]) & subject global assessment of arthritis (PtGA) on a 100 millimeter (mm) visual analog scale (VAS: scores ranging from 0 mm [very well] to 100 mm [worst], higher scores indicate worse health condition). Total DAS28-4 (ESR) score range: 0(none) to 9.4 (extreme disease activity), higher score indicated more disease activity. DAS28-4 (ESR) less than or equal to (<=) 3.2 implied low disease activity and greater than (>) 3.2 to <=5.1 implied moderate disease activity, >5.1 implied high disease activity & DAS28-4 (ESR) less than (<) 2.6 implied remission. DAS28-4 (ESR) =0.56*sqrt(TJC28) + 0.28*sqrt(SJC28) + 0.70*In(ESR in mm/ hour) + 0.014*PtGA in mm; ln =natural logarithm, sqrt =square root of. FAS-DB.

Double Blind Phase: Percentage of Subjects With LDA Assessed by DAS28-4 (CRP) <=3.2 at Weeks 36 and 48

End point description

DAS28 is a measure of disease activity in subjects with rheumatoid arthritis. DAS28-4 (CRP) was calculated from SJC and TJC using 28 joints count, CRP (mg/dL) and PtGA on a 100 mm VAS (VAS: scores ranging from 0 mm [very well] to 100 mm [worst], higher scores indicate worse health condition). Total DAS28-4 (CRP) score range: 0 (none) to 9.4 (extreme disease activity), higher score indicated more disease activity. DAS28-4 (CRP) <=3.2 implied low disease activity and >3.2 to <=5.1 implied moderate disease activity, >5.1 implied high disease activity, and DAS28-4 (CRP) <2.6 implied remission. DAS28-4 (CRP) = 0.56*sqrt(TJC28) + 0.28*sqrt(SJC28) + 0.36*ln(CRP in mg/L +1) + 0.014*PtGA in mm+ 0.96. NRI method was used to impute missing data. FAS-DB included all subjects who received at least 1 dose of investigational drug during the OL phase, were randomized and received at least 1 dose of the randomized investigational drug regimen during DB phase.

End point description

Subjects with 70% improvement in tender and swollen joint counts and 70% improvement in at least 3 of the 5 measures: PtGA, PhyGA, subject’s assessment of arthritis pain, health assessment questionnaire-disability index (HAQ-DI) and CRP. PtGA: subject assessed health on VAS, 0 mm (very well) to 100 mm (worst health condition), higher scores = worse condition. PhyGA: physician judged subjects’ pain on VAS, 0 (no pain) to 100 mm (extreme pain), higher scores = more pain. Subject’s assessment of arthritis pain: subject assessed pain on VAS, 0 mm (no pain) to 100 mm (most severe pain), higher score=more pain. HAQ-DI: functional disability evaluation, score: 0 (no difficulty) to 3 (extreme difficulty), higher score implied more disability. The improvement was relative to baseline (Day 1). NRI method was used to impute missing data. FAS-DB was analyzed.

Double Blind Phase: Change From Randomization in Health Assessment Questionnaire-Disability Index (HAQ-DI) at Week 36 and 48

End point description

HAQ-DI assesses the degree of difficulty a subject has experienced during the past week in 8 domains of daily living activities: dressing/grooming; arising; eating; walking; reach; grip; hygiene; and other activities.. There were total of 30 items distributed in these 8 domains. Each item was scored on a 4-point scale from 0 to 3: 0= no difficulty; 1= some difficulty; 2= much difficulty; 3= unable to do. Overall score was computed as the sum of domain scores and divided by the number of domains answered. Total possible score range 0 (least difficulty) and 3 (extreme difficulty), where higher scores indicate more difficulty while performing daily living activities. FAS-DB was analyzed. Here, ‘n’ = Subjects evaluable for this endpoint at specified time points.

Double Blind Phase: Change From Randomization in the Short Form 36 (SF-36) Health Survey 8 Domain Scores at Week 36 and 48

End point description

SF-36 is a subject reported standardized survey designed to assess generic health related quality of life. It consisted of 36 items evaluating 8 aspects of functional health and well-being: physical functioning, role physical, bodily pain, social functioning, mental health, role emotional, vitality, and general health perception. The score range for each of the 8 health aspects was from 0 (poor health) to 100 (better health), higher scores indicating good health condition. Scores of 8 health aspects were summarized to derive the 2 component scores (physical component scores [PCS], mental component scores [MCS]) ranging from 0 (worst) to 100 (best), where higher PCS/MCS indicated good health condition. FAS-DB was analyzed. Here, ‘n’ = Subjects evaluable for this endpoint at specified time points.

SF-36 is a subject reported standardized survey designed to assess generic health related quality of life. It consisted of 36 items evaluating 8 aspects of functional health and well-being: physical functioning, role physical, bodily pain, social functioning, mental health, role emotional, vitality, and general health perception. The score range for each of the 8 health aspects was from 0 (poor health) to 100 (better health), higher scores indicating good health condition. Scores of 8 health aspects were summarized aggregated to derive the two 2 component scores PCS and MCS ranging from 0 (worst) to 100 (best), where higher PCS/MCS indicated good health condition. FAS-DB was analyzed. Here, ‘n’ = Subjects evaluable for this endpoint at specified time points.

Double Blind Phase: Change From Randomization in the Work Productivity and Activity Impairment (WPAI) Scores at Week 36 and 48

End point description

WPAI is 6-question subject rated questionnaire to determine the impact of rheumatoid arthritis and yields 4 types of outcomes: absenteeism (work time missed), presenteeism (impairment while working), work productivity loss (overall work impairment), and daily activity (DA) impairment (activity impairment) for a period of 7 days prior to a visit. These 4 outcomes are expressed as an impairment percentage (range from 0 to 100), with higher numbers indicating greater impairment and less productivity. FAS-DB was analyzed. Here, ‘n’ = Subjects evaluable for this endpoint at specified time points.

End point description

The FACIT-Fatigue scale was a subject completed questionnaire consisted of 13 items that assessed fatigue. Each item was scored on a scale of 0 (maximum fatigue) to 4 (no fatigue), higher scores indicate less fatigue. Total FACIT-fatigue score was obtained by addition of scores from 13 items, giving a possible overall range from 0 (maximum fatigue) to 52 (no fatigue). Higher FACIT-fatigue scores indicated lower level of fatigue, better subject status. FAS-DB population was analyzed. Here, ‘n’ = Subjects evaluable for this endpoint at specified time points.

Double Blind Phase: Percentage of Subjects Achieving an Improvement of at Least 0.22 Units in HAQ-DI at Weeks 36 and 48

End point description

HAQ-DI assesses the degree of difficulty a subject has experienced during the past week in 8 domains of daily living activities: dressing/grooming; arising; eating; walking; reach; grip; hygiene; and other activities.. There were total of 30 items distributed in these 8 domains. Each item was scored on a 4-point scale from 0 to 3: 0= no difficulty; 1= some difficulty; 2= much difficulty; 3= unable to do. Overall score was computed as the sum of domain scores and divided by the number of domains answered. Total possible score range 0 (least difficulty) and 3 (extreme difficulty), where higher scores indicate more difficulty while performing daily living activities. Percentage of subjects with an improvement of at least 0.22 units in HAQ scores from baseline (Day 1) to Week 36 and 48 were reported in this endpoint. NRI method was used to impute missing data. FAS-DB population was analyzed.
