PERSIST: PROSPECTIVE OBSERVATIONAL COHORT STUDY TO ASSESS PERSISTENCE OF CT-P13 (INFLIXIMAB) IN PATIENTS WITH RHEUMATOID DISEASES WHO ARE EITHER NAIVE TO BIOLOGICS OR SWITCHED FROM STABLE REMICADE(R) (INFLIXIMAB)

Brief Summary
To assess persistence of CT-P13 in patients with Rheumatoid Diseases (Rheumatoid arthritis \[RA\], ankylosing spondylitis \[AS\], and psoriatic arthritis \[PsA\]) who are naïve to biologics or are switching from stable Remicade to CT-P13. The main objectives of the study are:
- To evaluate real-life drug persistence in RA, AS, and PsA patients who are either initiated with CT-P13 as their first biologic, or who are switched from stable Remicade
- To characterise the patient populations and drug usage patterns of RA, AS, and PsA patients who are either initiated with CT-P13 as their first biologic, or who are switched from stable Remicade
- To assess the safety of CT-P13 in RA, AS, and PsA patients who are either initiated with CT-P13 as their first biologic, or who are switched from stable Remicade for up to 2 years

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (8)
Treatment Persistence With CT-P13 in Participants With Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) or Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA)
Persistence (in days) was defined as a continuous variable measured in time from index date until date of drug discontinuation. Drug discontinuation was defined as either switching to another non infliximab BDMARD or elapsing of a drug free interval of 16 weeks from CT-P13. For participants undergoing a switch to CT-P13 from Remicade, the index date was considered the date from which Remicade was originally commenced and for participants who initiated treatment with CT-P13 as their first biologic, the index date was considered the date from which CT-P13 was initiated.
During the observation period of 2 years
Disease Duration in Participants With Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) or Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA), as Recorded on the Day of Inclusion in Study
Disease duration was defined as the number of months from initial diagnosis of rheumatoid disease (RA, AS or PsA) to the date of informed consent, which was recorded at the time of inclusion in the study (Day 1).
At Day 1 of 2 year observation period
Initial Dose of CT-P13 Infusion Administered to Participants
Initial dose of CT-P13 infusion (dose at the time of CT-P13 treatment initiation) was reported in this outcome measure.
At Day 1 of 2 year observation period
Number of Participants by Initial Frequency of CT-P13 Infusion Received
Initial frequency of CT-P13 infusion was categorized as: once every 4, 6, 8 weeks and other. 'Other' included all other frequencies other than specified. Number of participants by baseline infusion frequency (in weeks) were reported.
Baseline (Day 1) of 2 year observation period
Total Dose of CT-P13 Infusion Received During Observation Period
Total dose of infusion received by the participants were evaluated.
During the observation period of 2 years
Number of Participants With Change in CT-P13 Infusion Dose
Participants who had change in the dose of infusion (either dose reduction or increase in dose) during the observation period were reported.
During the observation period of 2 years
Number of Participants Who Had At Least One Concomitant Medication Related to the Treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) or Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA)
Concomitant medications included corticosteroids, non-steroidal anti- inflammatory drugs (NSAID'S) and immunosuppressant. Participants were counted in more than one categories. 'Others' included DMARDS and other medications apart from the categories specified.
During the observation period of 2 years
Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (AEs), Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) and Adverse Events of Special Interest (AESI)
An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study treatment without regard to possibility of causal relationship. SAE was an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death, initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization, life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying), persistent or significant disability or incapacity, congenital anomaly. Treatment-emergent were events between first dose of infusion up to 2 years, that were absent before treatment or that worsened relative to pretreatment state. Serious infections including sepsis (excluding opportunistic infections and tuberculosis) were the pre-defined TEAE of special Interest for this study. AEs included both serious and non-serious adverse events.
