E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To demonstrate the superiority in efficacy of abatacept compared with adalimumab, both on background MTX, in achieving clinical response (ACR50) at Week 24, in early, seropositive (RF+ and ACPA+) RA patients with the SE HLA Class II risk alleles (ie, SE+). |
Dimostrare la superiorità in termini di efficacia di abatacept rispetto ad adalimumab, entrambi sulla terapia di base con MTX, nel raggiungimento della risposta clinica (ACR50) alla Settimana 24, in pazienti con AR precoce sieropositivi (RF+ e ACPA+) con alleli di rischio HLA di classe II SE (ovvero SE+). |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
To compare the efficacy of abatacept with adalimumab, both on background MTX in achieving: - clinical remission criteria (DAS28-CRP remission) at Week 24 in early, seropositive RA patients with the SE HLA Class II risk alleles (ie, SE+). - clinical response (ACR50) at Week 24 in the whole study population of early, seropositive RA patients. - clinical remission criteria (CDAI remission) at Week 24 in early, seropositive RA patients with the SE HLA Class II risk alleles (ie, SE+). - improvement in pain at Week 24 in early, seropositive RA patients with the SE HLA Class II risk alleles (ie, SE+). To determine: - the efficacy over time by treatment in early, seropositive RA patients (SE+ subset and whole population). - the improvement in health-related quality of life over time by treatment in early, seropositive RA patients (SE+ subset and whole population). |
Confrontare l’efficacia di abatacept con adalimumab, entrambi sulla terapia di base con MTX, nel raggiungimento: dei criteri di remissione clinica (DAS28-CRP) alla Settimana 24 in pazienti con AR precoce sieropositivi con alleli di rischio HLA di classe II SE; della risposta clinica (ACR50) alla Settimana 24 nell’intera popolazione dello studio di pazienti con AR precoce sieropositiva; dei criteri di remissione clinica (CDAI) alla Settimana 24 in pazienti con AR precoce sieropositivi con alleli di rischio HLA di classe II SE; del miglioramento del dolore alla Settimana 24 in pazienti con AR precoce sieropositivi con alleli di rischio HLA di classe II SE. Determinare: l’efficacia nel tempo in base al trattamento nei pazienti con AR precoce sieropositivi (sottogruppo SE+ e popolazione intera); il miglioramento della qualità della vita correlata alla salute nel tempo in base al trattamento nei pazienti con AR precoce sieropositivi (sottogruppo SE+ e popolazione intera). |
