Number of Subjects With Low Disease Activity (DAS28 Less Than 3.2) and No Radiographic Progression From Baseline (Change in mTSS Less Than or Equal to 0.5) at Week 78, Arm 2 vs. Arm 4
Query!
Assessment method [1]
0
0
The Disease Activity Score (DAS28) is calculated using the number of tender and swollen joints (out of 28 counted), C-reactive protein level, and the patient's global assessment of disease activity. The calculated range of DAS28 is 0.49 to 9.07, with scores below 3.2 indicating low disease activity. For the modified Total Sharp score (mTSS), x-rays of hand/wrist and feet joints are scored for erosions (0 to 5) and joint space narrowing (0 to 4). The erosion score and the narrowing score are added to determine the total score, which ranges from 0 (no damage) to 448.

A DAS28 less than 2.6 indicates clinical remission, DAS28 2.6 to 3.2 indicates low disease activity, DAS28 3.2 to less than 5.1 indicates moderate disease activity, and DAS28 of 5.1 or greater indicates high disease activity.

For the modified Total Sharp score (mTSS), x-rays of hand/wrist and feet joints are scored for erosions (0 to 5) and joint space narrowing (0 to 4). The erosion score and the narrowing score are added to determine the total score, which ranges from 0 (no damage) to 448. An increase in mTSS from baseline represents disease progression and/or joint worsening, no change represents halting of disease progression, and a decrease represents improvement.

Synovitis was assessed using high-field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the hand and wrist. Images were read and scored according to the Outcomes Measures in Rheumatology Clinical Trials' Rheumatoid Arthritis MRI Scoring System (OMERACT RAMRIS). Synovitis in the wrist and finger joints in the most affected hand was scored from 0 (normal) to 3 (severe), for a maximum total score of 21.

In the Health Assessment Questionnaire Disability Index (HAQ-DI), participants rated their ability to perform daily tasks on a scale of 0 (without any difficulty) to 3 (unable to do). A mean score of 0-1 represents mild to moderate functional disability, 1-2 represents moderate to severe, 2-3 severe to very severe disability. For the modified Total Sharp score (mTSS), x-rays of hand/wrist and feet joints are scored for erosions (0 to 5) and joint space narrowing (0 to 4). The erosion score and the narrowing score are added to determine the total score, which ranges from 0 (no damage) to 448.
