Time frame
24 weeks after first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh course of rituximab (median duration of 26, 90.9, 162.9, 232, 297.3, 354.4, and 406.7 weeks, respectively)
What was measured
A participant had an ACR50 and ACR70 response if there was at least a 50% or 70% improvement, ie, reduction from Baseline, in TJC and SJC (28 assessed joints) and in at least 3 of the following 5 parameters: 1) Physician's Global Assessment of disease activity \[VAS: 0=no disease activity to 100=maximum disease activity\]; 2) Patient's Global Assessment of Disease Activity \[VAS: 0=no disease activity to 100=maximum disease activity\]; 3) Patient's Assessment of Pain \[VAS: 0=no pain to 100=unbearable pain\]; 4) Health Assessment Questionnaire \[20 questions, 8 components: dressing/grooming, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip, and activities, 0=without difficulty to 3=unable to do\] and 5) an acute-phase reactant (CRP or ESR). The ACR50 and ACR70 responses were compared to Baseline in the precursor studies WA16291 or WA17043.
Analysis population: ITT Population. Here, number of participants analyzed = participants who were evaluable for this outcome. Number analyzed = participants who were evaluable for specified category.
Groups in this outcome
Rituximab
Participants received rituximab 1 gram IV on Days 1 and 15 of each course of retreatment. In addition, participants received methotrexate 10-25 mg/week orally or parenterally, methylprednisolone 100 mg IV 30 minutes prior to both rituximab infusions, and a stable dose of folic acid \>=5 mg/week or equivalent. Participants received retreatment (next course of rituximab repeat treatment) within 2 weeks of meeting the retreatment criteria as defined in the protocol (minimum of 24 weeks after the first \[Day 1\] infusion of the last course of rituximab). Repeat treatment was based on the investigator's decision of prior clinical response to rituximab, clinical need and evidence of active disease (Disease Activity Score in 28 joints \>=2.6). Retreatment with rituximab was continued until withdrawal of consent or study treatment completion on 31 December 2011, whichever occurred earlier.
