What was measured
FACIT-F is a 13-item questionnaire. Patients scored each item on a 5-point scale: 0 (Not at all) to 4 (Very much). The larger the patient's response to the questions (with the exception of 2 negatively stated), the greater the patient's fatigue. For all questions, except for the 2 negatively stated ones, the code was reversed and a new score was calculated as (4 minus the patient's response). The sum of all responses resulted in the FACIT-Fatigue score for a total possible score of 0 (worse score) to 52 (better score). A higher score reflects an improvement in the patient's health status.
Analysis population: Participants from the Intent to treat (ITT) population includes all randomized participants who received at least one infusion who had data available for analyses. Observed data.
Groups in this outcome
Placebo + Methotrexate
Placebo intravenously on Days 1 and 15 + a background of methotrexate orally at a dose of 7.5 mg escalating by 2.5 mg a week every 1-2 weeks to achieve: 15 mg per week by Week 4 and 20 mg per week by Week 8. From Week 104 participants were eligible to receive Rituximab 2 X 0.5 g or Rituximab 2 X 1.0 g every 24 weeks.
Rituximab (0.5 g x 2) + Methotrexate
Rituximab intravenously at a dose of 0.5 g on Days 1 and 15 + a background of methotrexate orally at a dose of 7.5 mg escalating by 2.5 mg a week every 1-2 weeks to achieve: 15 mg per week by Week 4 and 20 mg per week by Week 8. Subsequent Rituximab treatment courses were given at 24 week intervals for 5 years provided the Disease Activity Score 28 Joint Count- Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (DAS-ESR) result was ≥2.6
Rituximab (1.0 g x 2) + Methotrexate
Rituximab intravenously at a dose of 1.0 g on Days 1 and 15 + a background of methotrexate orally at a dose of 7.5 mg escalating by 2.5 mg a week every 1-2 weeks to achieve: 15 mg per week by Week 4 and 20 mg per week by Week 8. Subsequent Rituximab treatment courses were given at 24 week intervals for 5 years provided the Disease Activity Score 28 Joint Count- Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (DAS-ESR) result was ≥2.6
