EASE PAIN: The Evaluation of Injection Site Pain and Adherence in Patients Switching From a Low To High Concentration Adalimumab (AVT-02) Across Multiple Indications.
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of the Phase IV study is to investigate the effects of both Volume and Citrate on Injection Site Pain (ISP), adherence, patient satisfaction, Quality of Life, and Disease Assessment in the Canadian Adalimumab Market.
The phase IV study is an observational, pan-Canadian, multidisciplinary study aiming to enroll 600 patients across 50-70 sites across 3 different Therapeutic Areas (GI, Rheum, Derm).

Detailed Description
The current phase 4 study seeks to assess the real-world injection experience, utilization, satisfaction, effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of treatment with AVT-02 (SIMLANDI™) in patients when switching from low-concentration adalimumab Humira® or another adalimumab biosimilar to high-concentration adalimumab SIMLANDI™ for the management of certain gastroenterological (IBD, including CD or UC); rheumatological (including RA, AS, or PsA); or dermatological conditions (including HS or PsO).

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Change from baseline in injection site pain after the first dose of high-concentration adalimumab (AVT-02) as measured by the Visual Analog Scale (VAS); 2 weeks after Humira Injection (can be 1 week for certain indications such as HS). [At 2 Weeks]
Baseline injection site pain will be defined as the VAS score recorded during the last dose of the low-concentration adalimumab prior to switching to AVT-02.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Change from baseline in injection site pain after every injection of the high-concentration adalimumab (AVT-02) as measured by VAS during the 180 days of the study. [At Every AVT-02 Injection up to 180 Days.]
Baseline injection site pain will be defined as the VAS score recorded during the last dose of the low-concentration adalimumab prior to switching to AVT-02.
- Patient perception of change in injection site pain (5-point Likert) after the first dose of high-concentration adalimumab (AVT-02) compared to Humira® or another low-concentration adalimumab biosimilar. [Once a month up to 180 Days.]
A five-point Likert scale of patient perception of change in injection site pain after the first dose of high-concentration adalimumab (AVT-02).
- Distribution of missed doses of AVT-02. [At Every AVT-02 Injection up to 180 Days.]
Adherence to treatment when switching from Humira® or another adalimumab biosimilar to AVT-02.
- Change from baseline in overall satisfaction with the injection (7-point Likert) during the 180 days of the study after switching from Humira or another low-concentration adalimumab to AVT-02. [At Every AVT-02 Injection up to 180 Days.]
A seven-point Likert scale of patient satisfaction.
- Change from baseline in European Quality of Life-5 Dimensions-5 Levels (EQ-5D-5L) Index Score during the 180 days of the study after switching from Humira or another low-concentration adalimumab to AVT-02. [At days 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, and 180.]
A questionnaire assessing health-related quality of life covering five dimensions (mobility, ability to self-care, ability to undertake usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression) with five levels of severity for each dimension (no problems, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems, and extreme problems).
- Change from baseline in physician disease assessment during the 180 days of the study after switching from Humira or another low-concentration adalimumab to AVT-02 [At Baseline and at Day 180.]
Asses the Physician Global Assessment (PGA) at baseline and at Day 180.
- Change from baseline in patient-reported disease assessment during the 180 days of the study after switching from Humira or another low-concentration adalimumab to AVT-02 [At Baseline and at Day 180.]
Asses the Patient Global Assessment of Disease Activity (PtGA) at baseline and at Day 180.
- Change from baseline in health care utilization during the 180 days of the study. [At days 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, and 180.]
A questionnaire assessing healthcare resource utilization related to the patient indication, including medical events and treatments experienced by the patient in the last month.
