About this study

Official title: Enbrel Special Use Result Surveillance

The special use-results surveillance is conducted in patients who have never been treated with Enbrel and in whom its long-term therapy may be instituted in the actual setting of use after marketing with the following objectives: 1. To examine the safety of long-term use of Enbrel including the occurrence of malignant tumors. 2. To confirm the efficacy of Enbrel in the long-term use.

Being tested
Enbrel (etanercept)
Medical subject headings
Arthritis, Rheumatoid

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Enbrel (etanercept)Drug

    Enbrel 10 to 25 mg twice a week subcutaneous injection

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Participants in Safety Analysis Population of Etanercept

    Measured: 3 years

  2. Number of Participants With Treatment Related Adverse Events of Etanercept

    Adverse events are all unfavorable events, including clinically problematic abnormal changes in laboratory test values, which develop in participants after the administration of Etanercept, irrespective of causal relationship to Etanercept. The causal relationship between an adverse event and Etanercept was evaluated by the sponsor.

    Measured: 3 years

  3. Number of Participants With Serious Treatment Related Adverse Events of Etanercept

    Serious treatment-related adverse events are defined as any events that lead to death, life-threatening, hospitalization or prolonged hospitalization, a permanent or remarkable disorder/dysfunction, congenital anomaly/congenital deficiency, or other medically significant events or disorder.

    Measured: 3 years

  4. Number of Participants With Unlisted Treatment Related Adverse Events of Etanercept

    Adverse events are all unfavorable events, including clinically problematic abnormal changes in laboratory test values, which develop in participants after the administration of Etanercept, irrespective of causal relationship to Etanercept. The causal relationship between an adverse event and Etanercept was evaluated by the sponsor. Unlisted treatment related adverse events were confirmed with listed adverse drug reactions specified in Japanese package insert.

    Measured: 3 years

  5. European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) Disease Activity Score (DAS) 28 Improvement (4/Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate: ESR)

    DAS28-4 (ESR) was calculated from SJC and TJC using 28 joints count, ESR (mm/hour) and PtGA of disease activity (participant rated arthritis activity assessment). Total score range: 0-9.4, higher score=more disease activity. DAS28-4 (ESR) <= 3.2 implied low disease activity and >3.2 to 5.1 implied moderate to high disease activity, and DAS28-4 (ESR) <2.6 = remission.

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Modified Health Assessment Questionnaire (mHAQ) Score

    Modified Health Assessment Questionnaire-(mHAQ): participant-reported assessment of ability to perform tasks in 8 categories of daily living activities: dress/groom; arise; eat; walk; reach; grip; hygiene; and common activities over past week. Each item scored on 4-point scale from 0 to 3: 0=no difficulty; 1=some difficulty; 2=much difficulty; 3=unable to do. Overall score was computed as the sum of domain scores and divided by the number of domains answered. Total possible score range 0-3 where 0 = least difficulty and 3 = extreme difficulty.

    Measured: 2 years

  2. Visual Analog Fatigue Scale (VAFS)

    Participants assessed their fatigue using a 0 - 100 mm VAS, where 0 mm = no fatigue and 100 mm = worst possible fatigue.

    Measured: 2 years

  3. European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) Disease Activity Score (DAS) 28 Improvement (3/Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate: ESR)

    DAS28-3 (ESR) was calculated from swollen joint count (SJC) and tender joint count (TJC) using 28 joints count and ESR (mm/hour). Total score range: 0-9.4, higher score=more disease activity. DAS28-3 (ESR) <= 3.2 implied low disease activity and >3.2 to 5.1 implied moderate to high disease activity, and DAS28-3 (ESR) <2.6 = remission.

    Measured: 2 years
