Study population: RA defined by the 1987 ACR criteria [18]; first TNFα inhibitor prescribed in the previously mentioned period; TNFα inhibitor prescribed as first-line biotherapy; and patients had undergone at least one evaluation in the center after treatment initiation. Patients were excluded if: they had previously received another biotherapy; the TNFα inhibitor was prescribed in an RCT; or they refused to participate.

About this study

To compare retention rates of adalimumab, etanercept and infliximab as first-line biotherapy in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), to determine causes of discontinuation, retention-associated factors, and retention rates of possible second-line tumor necrosis factor α inhibitors (TNFi).

Read the detailed description

In this retrolective, multicentric study, medical charts of RA patients starting TNFi between March 2005 and April 2009 were reviewed, with follow-up between 2 and 6 years. The retention rate was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Comparison between TNFi was done after adjustment using a Cox model. Factors associated with better retention were identified by multivariate analysis. Medical charts of all patients with RA starting a first TNFα inhibitor therapy between March 1, 2005 (start of commercialization of adalimumab in France) and April 30, 2009 (allowing at least 2 years of follow-up) were systematically reviewed in detail by 2 rheumatologist investigators

What is being measured

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

  1. Compare retention rates of adalimumab, etanercept and infliximab administered as first-line biologic therapy in RA

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Compare retention rates of TNFα inhibitor monoclonal antibodies (adalimumab and infliximab) and the soluble receptor (etanercept)

    Measured: 4 years

  2. Causes of discontinuing these treatments

    Measured: 4 years

  3. Determine the factors associated with better retention of the first TNFα inhibitors

    Measured: 4 years

  4. Compare retention rates of possible second-line TNFα inhibitors

    Measured: 4 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Rheumatoid Arthritis, run by Pfizer.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Sep 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Compare retention rates of adalimumab, etanercept and infliximab administered as first-line biologic therapy in RA (time frame: 2 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01692899, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 25 Sep 2012.
