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
DAS28-ESR was calculated from SJC and TJC using 28 joints count, ESR (millimeters per hour \[mm/hour\]), and Patient's Global Assessment of Disease Activity (VAS: 0=no disease activity to 100=maximum disease activity). DAS28-ESR = 0.56\*square root (sqrt)(TJC28) + 0.28\*sqrt(SJC28) + 0.70\*natural logarithm (ln) (ESR) + 0.014\*Patient's Global Assessment of Disease Activity. Total score range: 0-10, higher score=more disease activity. DAS28-ESR \<= 3.2 implied low disease activity (LDA) and DAS28-ESR \<2.6 = clinical remission.
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.
