Primary outcomes

  1. Percentage of Participants With ACR 20 Response at Week 16

    Time frame: Week 16

    The ACR 20 definition of improvement is a 20% improvement over baseline in tender and swollen joint counts (#1 and #2) and a 20% improvement in 3 of the 5 remaining core data set measures (Participant global assessment of pain, participant global assessment of disease activity, physician global assessment of disease activity, participant assessment of physical function, and acute phase reactant value). Baseline value is the last assessment taken prior to first dose of single-blind study medication. The 95% CI is calculated using Clopper-Pearson exact method.

Secondary outcomes

    DAS28-CRP is a composite of how many joints in the hands (including metacarpophalangeal and proximal interphalangeal joints but excluding DIPs), wrists, elbows, shoulders, and knees are swollen and/or tender out of a total of 28; CRP in the blood to measure the degree of inflammation, and participant global assessment of disease activity. The results are combined to produce the DAS28-CRP score that range from 1.0 to 9.4, which correlates with the extent of disease activity: < 2.6=disease remission; 2.6 - 3.2=low disease activity; 3.2-5.1=moderate disease activity; >5.1=high disease activity. Change from baseline is defined as value at post-baseline visit. A negative change from baseline in DAS28-CRP indicates an improvement.

  2. Change From Baseline in Health Assessment Questionnaire - Disability Index (HAQ-DI) at Week 16

    Time frame: Baseline and Week 16

    HAQ-DI is a patient-reported outcome measure that assesses the degree of difficulty a participant has experienced during the past week in 8 domains of daily living activities: dressing and grooming, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip, and other activities. Each activity category consists of 2 to 3 items. For each item in the questionnaire, the level of activity is scored from 0 to 3, with 0 representing "no difficulty," 1 representing "some difficulty," 2 representing "much difficulty," and 3 representing "unable to do." increasing scores for the 8 disability categories indicate increasing level of difficulty. HAQDI is calculated by summing the adjusted categories scores and dividing by the number of categories answered. Change from baseline is defined as value at post-baseline visit. A negative change from baseline in HAQ-DI indicates an improvement.

The PASI produces a numeric score that can range from 0 to 72, with higher PASI scores denoting more severe disease activity. PASI 75 is the number of participants who experience at least a 75% improvement in PASI score as compared with the baseline value. The 95% CI is calculated using Clopper-Pearson exact method.

Health is defined in 5 dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. Each dimension has 5 levels: no problems, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems, and extreme problems. Responses are coded so that a '1' indicates no problem, and '5' indicates the most serious problem. The responses for the 5 dimensions are combined in a 5-digit number.

This includes perceived difficulties and concerns with getting to sleep or staying asleep, as well as perceptions of the adequacy of and satisfaction with sleep. The items are evaluated on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 1 = "not at all" to 5 = "very much" with a 7-day recall period. Higher score means more active disease. Change from baseline is defined as value at post-baseline visit. A negative change from baseline indicates an improvement.
