Change From Baseline in Disease Activity Score-CRP (4 Variables) (DAS28-4 [CRP]) and HAQ-DI at Week 2, 4, 6, 12, 14, 22 and 30: Period 1
DAS28 is measure of disease activity in participants. DAS28-4 (CRP): calculated from SJC, TJC, CRP(mg/L) and PGA (participant rated disease activity on visual analogue scale [VAS] from 0 to 100 mm; high score=worse health). Total score range of DAS28-4 (CRP): 0 to 9.4(0=no activity; 9.4=extreme disease activity), higher score=more disease activity. DAS28-4(CRP) less than (<)2.6=remission, <3.2=low disease activity, >=3.2-5.1=moderate disease activity and greater than (>) 5.1=high disease activity. HAQ-DI assess degree of difficulty a participant experienced (past week) in 8 domain of daily activities: dressing and grooming, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip and other activities. Each item scored on a 4-point scale ranging from 0 to 3(0=no difficulty; 3=extreme difficulty). Overall score: sum of domain scores/number of domains answered. Total possible score range (0=least difficulty; 3=extreme difficulty); high scores=more difficulty in performing daily living activities.
Measured: Baseline (Day 1), Week 2, 4, 6, 12, 14, 22 and 30
Change From Baseline in Disease Activity Score-CRP (4 Variables) (DAS28-4 [CRP]) and HAQ-DI at Week 38, 46 and 54: Period 2
DAS28 is measure of disease activity in participants. DAS28-4 (CRP): calculated from SJC, TJC, CRP(mg/L) and PGA (participant rated disease activity on VAS from 0 to 100 millimeter [mm]; high score=worse health). Total score range of DAS28-4 (CRP): 0 to 9.4(0=no activity; 9.4=extreme disease activity), higher score=more disease activity. DAS28-4(CRP) <2.6=remission, <3.2=low disease activity, >=3.2-5.1=moderate disease activity and >5.1=high disease activity. HAQ-DI assess degree of difficulty a participant experienced (past week) in 8 domain of daily activities: dressing and grooming, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip and other activities. Each item scored on a 4-point scale ranging from 0 to 3(0=no difficulty; 3=extreme difficulty). Overall score: sum of domain scores/number of domains answered. Total possible score range (0=least difficulty; 3=extreme difficulty); high scores=more difficulty in performing daily living activities.
Measured: Baseline (Week 30 pre-dose), Week 38, 46 and 54
Change From Baseline in Disease Activity Score-CRP (4 Variables) (DAS28-4 [CRP]) and HAQ-DI at Week 62, 70 and 78: Period 3
DAS28 is measure of disease activity in participants. DAS28-4 (CRP): calculated from SJC, TJC, CRP(mg/L) and PGA (participant rated disease activity on VAS from 0 to 100 mm; high score=worse health). Total score range of DAS28-4 (CRP): 0 to 9.4(0=no activity; 9.4=extreme disease activity), higher score=more disease activity. DAS28-4(CRP) <2.6=remission, <3.2=low disease activity, >=3.2-5.1=moderate disease activity and >5.1=high disease activity. HAQ-DI assess degree of difficulty a participant experienced (past week) in 8 domain of daily activities: dressing and grooming, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip and other activities. Each item scored on a 4-point scale ranging from 0 to 3(0=no difficulty; 3=extreme difficulty). Overall score: sum of domain scores/number of domains answered. Total possible score range (0=least difficulty; 3=extreme difficulty); high scores=more difficulty in performing daily living activities.
Measured: Baseline (Week 54 pre-dose), Week 62, 70 and 78
Number of Participants Achieving American College of Rheumatology/European League Against Rheumatism (ACR/EULAR) and Disease Activity Score (DAS <2.6) Remission: Period 1
ACR/EULAR remission was considered if the scores on tender joint count, swollen joint count, hs-CRP (mg/dL), and patient's global assessment of arthritis (PGA) all were less than or equal to (=<) 1 or the score on the simplified disease activity index (SDAI) was =<3.3. SDAI was calculated as the sum of number of tender and swollen joint count (using 28 joints), PGA, physician global assessment, and CRP (mg/dL). PGA was assessed on a 10 mm VAS ranging from 0 (very well) to 10 (very poor), where higher scores indicate worse health condition. Physician global assessment was recorded on a 10 mm VAS ranging from 0 (very well) to 10 (very poor), where higher scores indicated more disease activity. DAS28 calculated from number of swollen joints and painful joints using the 28 joints count, CRP (mg/dL) and PGA using a 10 mm-VAS from 0 (very well) to 10 (very poor), where higher scores indicate worse health condition.

Number of Participants Achieving American College of Rheumatology/European League Against Rheumatism (ACR/EULAR) and Disease Activity Score (DAS <2.6) Remission: Period 2
ACR/EULAR remission was considered if the scores on tender joint count, swollen joint count, hs-CRP (mg/dL), and PGA all were =<1 or the score on the SDAI was =<3.3. SDAI was calculated as the sum of number of tender and swollen joint count (using 28 joints), PGA, physician global assessment, and CRP (mg/dL). PGA was assessed on a 10 mm VAS ranging from 0 (very well) to 10 (very poor), where higher scores indicate worse health condition. Physician global assessment was recorded on a 10 mm VAS ranging from 0 (very well) to 10 (very poor), where higher scores indicated more disease activity. DAS28 calculated from number of swollen joints and painful joints using the 28 joints count, CRP (mg/dL) and PGA using a 10 mm-VAS from 0 (very well) to 10 (very poor), where higher scores indicate worse health condition. DAS28 <3.2: low disease activity, DAS28 <2.6: remission.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing PF-06438179 and Infliximab in people with Rheumatoid Arthritis, run by Pfizer at 184 sites in 28 countries.
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 30 May 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 184 sites in United States, Japan, Russia, Ukraine, Czechia and 23 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
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.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 11 Sep 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
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?
Number of Participants With an American College of Rheumatology 20% (ACR20) Response at Week 14: Period 1 (time frame: Week 14). 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 NCT02222493, which also lists 5 linked publications.
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 30 May 2018.
