What was measured

A patient had an ACR20 response if there was at least a 20% improvement, ie, reduction from Baseline, in tender and swollen joint counts (28 assessed joints) and in at least 3 of the following 5 parameters: Separate patient and physician assessments of patient disease activity in the previous 24 hours on a visual analog scale (VAS, left end=no disease activity \[symptom-free and no arthritis symptoms\], right end=maximum disease activity; patient assessment of pain in previous 24 hours on a VAS (left end=no pain and right end=unbearable pain); Health Assessment Questionnaire-Disability Index (20 questions, 8 components: dressing/grooming, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip, and activities, 0=without difficulty to 3=unable to do); and acute-phase reactant (either C-reactive protein or erythrocyte sedimentation rate). The ACR20 response was compared to Baseline in the precursor study WA17042. The first retreatment may have occurred in the precursor study WA17042.

Analysis population: Intent-to-treat population: All participants who received any part of an infusion of study medication in study WA17531.

Groups in this outcome

Rituximab

Participants received rituximab 1 g intravenously (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, given as either a single dose or as divided daily doses.

Group identifiers and denominators belong to this outcome only. They may differ in another outcome or in safety reporting.
