Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • ACR20 is 20% reduction in tender and swollen joint counts and 20% improvement in three of the five remaining ACR core set measures: patient and physician global assessments, visual analog scale for pain, HAQ, and an acute-phase reactant (CRP or ESR)

    Day 1 to approximately Day 85 of treatment

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • ACR50 responders at Week 12

    12 weeks

  • ACR20 and ACR50 responders at each evaluation visit other than Week 12

    24 weeks

  • All individual variables of the ACR response criteria at each evaluation visit

    24 weeks

  • Disease Activity Score (DAS)28 at each evaluation visit.

    24 Weeks

  • The number of participants experiencing adverse events (AEs) as a measure of safety

    24 weeks
