Primary | Response to Intravenous Canakinumab and Oral Methotrexate (MTX) Compared to MTX Alone as Determined by 50% Improvement in Symptoms According to the American College of Rheumatology Criteria (ACR50) | A patient was considered as improved according to the ACR50 criteria if she/he had at least a 50 % improvement in both the tender and the swollen 28-joint count, and in at least 3 of the following 5 measures: Patient's pain assessment (Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) 100 mm) Patient's global assessment of disease activity (VAS 100 mm) Physician's global assessment of disease activity (VAS 100 mm) Patient self-assessed disability (Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) score) Acute phase reactant (high sensitivity C-reactive Protein (hsCRP)) |
6, 14, and 26 weeks of treatment | No |
Secondary | Response to Intravenous (IV) Canakinumab and Oral Methotrexate (MTX) Therapy (ACR20, 70, 90) Compared to MTX Alone | A patient was considered as improved according to the criteria of ACR 20 equaling at least 20%, ACR70 = 70%, and ACR90 = 90% improvement in the tender and the swollen 28-joint count, and in at least 3 of the following 5 measures: Patient's pain assessment (Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) 100 mm) Patient's global assessment of disease activity (VAS 100 mm) Physician's global assessment of disease activity (VAS 100 mm) Patient self-assessed disability (Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) score) Acute phase reactant (high sensitivity C-reactive Protein (hsCRP)) |
At 6 weeks, 14 weeks, and 26 weeks | No |
Secondary | Percentage of Participants Achieving a Good European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) Response (Based on the Disease Activity Score (DAS28)) at 26 Weeks | At each visit (including baseline) the DAS28 is derived as: DAS28 = 0.56*v (tender28) + 0.28 * v (swollen28) + 0.36 * loge(CRP+1) + 0.014*PGDA+ 0.96; where tender28 is the tender 28-joint count, swollen28 is the swollen 28-joint count, PGDA is the patient's global assessment of disease activity. Patients can be scored on a range of 0 to 10. When current DAS < 3.2, good response is defined as >1.2 improvement in DAS from baseline and non-response is improvement of =0.6. When current DAS >5.1, non-response is improvement of >0.6 but =1.2 . All others are moderate responses. | At 26 weeks | No |
Secondary | The Number of Participants in Clinical Remission Based on Disease Activity Score (DAS)28 and Simplified Disease Activity Index (SDAI) | At each visit (including baseline) the DAS28 and SDAI variables were derived using the following formulas: DAS28 = 0.56*v (tender28) + 0.28 * v (swollen28) + 0.36 * loge(CRP+1) + 0.014*PGDA+ 0.96; SDAI = tender28 + swollen28 + CRP + (PGDA / 10) + (EGDA / 10) where tender28 is the tender 28-joint count, swollen28 is the swollen 28-joint count, CRP is C-reactive protein, PGDA is the patient's global assessment of disease activity and EGDA is the physician's global assessment of disease activity. The Number of Participants in clinical remission is defined as the DAS28 = 2.6 or SDAI = 3.3. |
