What was measured

The Genant-modified Sharp scoring system assesses structural damage due to rheumatoid arthritis in radiographs. A score for erosions of 0-3.5 (8 gradations) is assigned for 14 joints in each hand and wrist, and 6 joints in each foot. Joint space narrowing scores of 0-4 (9 gradations) are assigned to 13 joints in each hand and 6 joints in each foot. The maximum erosion score is 40 x 3.5 = 140. The maximum joint space narrowing score is 38 x 4.0 = 152. Both the erosion and joint space narrowing scores are normalized to 145 and are added together for a maximum total Genant-modified Sharp score of 290; the minimum score is 0. A higher score indicates more damage. A negative change score indicates improvement. Data is reported for 2 groups.

Analysis population: Intent-to-treat population: All participants who received any part of an infusion of study medication in study WA17531. Only participants who had radiographs available at Baseline and Year 5 were included in the analysis.

Groups in this outcome

Placebo

Data for participants who received placebo in study WA17042 are included in this reporting group for data collected up until they received their first dose of rituximab in this study (study WA17531). Data from these participants collected after the first dose of rituximab are included in the rituximab reporting group.

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.
