What was measured

Total Erosion Score is determined by evaluation of fourteen sites in each wrist and hand and six joints in each foot using an eight-point scale from 0 (normal: no erosions) to 3.5 (Very severe; erosions of 100% of the articular surfaces. The change from the score at baseline to week 104 is calculated.

Analysis population: Participants from the Modified Intent to Treat (MITT) population includes all randomized participants who received at least one infusion and who had both screening and post-baseline radiographic assessments at the given time point for analyses. Linear extrapolation used for missing 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
