ENDEAVOUR: An Observational Study to Assess the Real-World Effectiveness of Upadacitinib in Adult Participants With Rheumatoid Arthritis
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease causing pain, stiffness, swelling and loss of joint function. RA can reduce the ability to perform everyday tasks. This study will assess the clinical and patient-reported outcomes with upadacitinib in adult participants with moderate-to-severe RA in a real-world setting.
Upadacitinib is an approved drug for the treatment of adults with moderately to severely active RA who have had an inadequate response or intolerance to methotrexate. Adult participants with moderate-to-severe RA will be enrolled. Around 150 participants will be enrolled in the study in multiple sites in the United Kingdom.
Participants will receive upadacitinib per their physician's usual prescription. Individual data will be collected for 6 months.
No additional study-related tests will be conducted during the routine physician visits. Only data which are routinely collected during a regular visit will be utilized for this study.
