  • The primary efficacy variable was the percentage of patients who had a 20 percent improvement according to American College of Rheumatology (ACR) criteria (an ACR 20 response) at six months.

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Secondary outcome measures were 50 percent improvement and 70 percent improvement according to ACR criteria (an ACR 50 response and an ACR 70 response, respectively).

Interventions

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 70 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Patients had to have active disease at enrollment (before the DMARD washout period), defined as 12 or more tender joints, 10 or more swollen joints, and at least one of the following: erythrocyte sedimentation rate(ESR) of at least 28 mm/hr, C-reactive protein(CRP) level greater than 2.0 mg/dL, or morning stiffness for at least 45 minutes.

You may not qualify if:

  • A patient could be withdrawn from the trial at any time after enrollment for the following reasons: the patient's request, severe or life-threatening adverse event, or inadequate control of arthritis symptoms (\>50 percent increase in the total number of swollen or tender joints) necessitating an increase in the systemic corticosteroid dosage or reinstitution of therapy with disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs.
