Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (10)

  • Number of Participants With Death, Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), Treatment-related SAEs, SAEs Leading to Discontinuation, Adverse Events (AEs), Treatment-related AEs, and AEs Leading to Discontinuation

    An AE is any new unfavorable symptom, sign, or disease or worsening of a preexisting condition that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with treatment. An SAE is any unfavorable medical event that at any dose results in death, persistent or significant disability/incapacity, or drug dependency or abuse; is life-threatening, an important medical event, or a congenital anomaly/birth defect; or requires or prolongs hospitalization. Treatment-related=possibly, probably, or certainly related to and of unknown relationship to study treatment.

    ACP substudy Day 1 to last substudy assessment occurring prior to the 1st dose of non-ACP subcutaneous (SC) abatacept, assessed up to 12 months

  • Number of Participants With AEs of Special Interest in the ACP Device Substudy

    AE=any new untoward medical occurrence or worsening of a preexisting medical condition which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. AEs of special interest are those AEs that may be associated with the use of immunomodulatory drugs including all infections, local injection reactions (prespecified), and systemic injection reactions (within 24 hours of dosing).

The ACP was a pre-filled liquid product device delivering 125 mg abatacept/device (125 mg/mL).

Device: Abatacept combination product (ACP)
