  • Subject is willing and able to participate in a 60-minute interview and optional app task to discuss their experience of rheumatoid arthritis.
  • For subjects taking part in real-time data capture:
  • Subject owns/or has access to either a smartphone [iPhone Operating System (iOS) or android] or tablet which has video, audio/microphone and photographic capabilities and access to either the Apple app store or Google play store to download the app.
  • Subject is willing and able to take part in the real time data application task and respond to a series of questions/tasks fielded via the application over the course of seven days and is willing to respond to some brief questions following the real-time data capture task about their experience of using the app and completing the tasks, in a 5-10 minute telephone call.

About this study

Official title: Patient Interviews to Better Understand Disease Experience and Unmet Treatment Needs in Rheumatoid Arthritis

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, systemic autoimmune disease affecting the joints and can lead to joint pain, swelling, redness and stiffness and can cause deformity, loss of strength and immobility. This cross-sectional qualitative study aims to explore the burden of established RA by conducting semi-structured Concept elicitation (CE) interviews (60 minutes duration) and real-time data capture task. The conceptual model developed from this data will be used to support the development of GSK3196165, a recombinant human monoclonal antibody (mAb) targeted for the treatment of RA. The CE interviews will explore the subject experience of RA and will collect information about symptoms, disease impact on functioning and health related quality of life (HRQoL), and treatment experiences/impacts of the condition and the language used by subjects to describe them. Following the CE interview, subjects will be asked to complete a brief symptom ranking exercise where they will need to rank how bothersome each RA symptom is and how important it would be to improve with treatment on a 1-5 numerical rating scale (NRS). After the interviews, the real-time disease experience of subjects will be captured by the real-time data capture app-based activity over a period of 7 days. Approximately 30 English-speaking subjects from the United States (US) with RA who are inadequate responders of conventional synthetic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (csDMARDs) and/or (bDMARDs) will participate in the interviews and of these, 10 subjects will be offered the opportunity to participate in the real-time data capture sub study.

What participants receive

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

  • Numerical rating scaleOther

    Following the concept elicitation interview, participants will be presented with a list of typical RA symptoms and asked to rank how bothersome each symptom is and how important it would be to improve with treatment on a 1-5 numerical rating scale (NRS).

  • Real-time data capture appOther

    Real time data capture app is a smart-phone or web-based application which will allow the subjects to provide responses about their experience of HOA in real-time via varying video, audio, photographic and text forms using a study-specific application on their own smart device. Up to ten of the thirty interview participants can participate in the app sub study, which is voluntary.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of subjects with RA participating in CE interviews

    CE interviews will be carried out to explore disease experience with respect to symptoms, impacts and treatment/surgical experiences.

    Measured: 1 day

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Analysis of RA experience by using real-time data data capture task

    A subgroup of ten of the thirty subjects participating in the CE interviews will be asked to take part in the real-time data capture task over the course of 7 days and during this time a series of 5-7 questions/tasks will be asked to subjects via the application to explore the experience of the symptoms, HRQoL impacts, treatment of RA and any day-to-day variability that exists in real time'.

    Measured: Up to 7 days

  2. Preparation of the conceptual model

    Data obtained from the CE interviews and real-time data capture as well as literature reviews will be used to develop a conceptual model for RA. Symptom, impact, and treatment concepts which have been identified will be grouped into domains and displayed visually and any identified relationships or trends between domains will also be included in the model. A contents key will be developed to show the source of the concept.

    Measured: Up to 7 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Arthritis, Rheumatoid, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 11 inclusion and 4 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 15 Aug 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United Kingdom. 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.

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?

Number of subjects with RA participating in CE interviews (time frame: 1 day). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 15 Aug 2018.
