    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Double Blind Phase: Change From Randomization in Disease Activity Score in 28 Joints Using 4 Variables (DAS28-4) (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate [ESR]) at Week 48 [Randomization (last non-missing measurement on or prior to the first dosing date in DB phase at Week 24), Week 48]

      DAS28 is a measure of disease activity in participants with rheumatoid arthritis. DAS28-4 (ESR) was calculated from swollen joint count (SJC) and tender/painful joint count (TJC) using 28 joints count, ESR (millimeters per hour [mm/hr]) and participant global assessment of arthritis (PtGA) on a 100 millimeter (mm) visual analog scale (VAS: scores ranging from 0 mm [very well] to 100 mm [worst], higher scores indicate worse health condition). Total DAS28-4 (ESR) score range: 0 (none) to 9.4 (extreme disease activity), higher score indicated more disease activity. DAS28-4 (ESR) less than or equal to (<=) 3.2 implied low disease activity and greater than (>) 3.2 to <=5.1 implied moderate disease activity, >5.1 implied high disease activity, and DAS28-4 (ESR) less than (<) 2.6 implied remission.

    Outcome Measures

    1. Primary Outcome
    Title Double Blind Phase: Change From Randomization in Disease Activity Score in 28 Joints Using 4 Variables (DAS28-4) (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate [ESR]) at Week 48
    Description DAS28 is a measure of disease activity in participants with rheumatoid arthritis. DAS28-4 (ESR) was calculated from swollen joint count (SJC) and tender/painful joint count (TJC) using 28 joints count, ESR (millimeters per hour [mm/hr]) and participant global assessment of arthritis (PtGA) on a 100 millimeter (mm) visual analog scale (VAS: scores ranging from 0 mm [very well] to 100 mm [worst], higher scores indicate worse health condition). Total DAS28-4 (ESR) score range: 0 (none) to 9.4 (extreme disease activity), higher score indicated more disease activity. DAS28-4 (ESR) less than or equal to (<=) 3.2 implied low disease activity and greater than (>) 3.2 to <=5.1 implied moderate disease activity, >5.1 implied high disease activity, and DAS28-4 (ESR) less than (<) 2.6 implied remission. DAS28-4 (ESR) = 0.56*sqrt(TJC28) + 0.28*sqrt(SJC28) + 0.70*In(ESR in mm/hour) + 0.014*PtGA in mm; ln = natural logarithm, sqrt = square root of.

    Title Double Blind Phase: Change From Randomization in Clinical Disease Activity Index (CDAI) at Weeks 36 and 48
    Description CDAI was calculated from tender and swollen joints using 28 joint count, PtGA and physician global assessment of arthritis (PhyGA). PtGA and PhyGA both were assessed on 0-10 centimeter (cm) VAS scale (VAS: scores ranging from 0 cm [very well] to 10 cm [worst]), where higher scores indicated greater affliction due to disease activity). CDAI total score ranged from 0 to 76, where higher scores indicated higher disease activity. CDAI score of <=10 indicated low disease activity and a score of <= 2.8 indicated remission. CDAI = (28TJC) + (28SJC) + (PhyGA in cm) + (PtGA in cm).

    Title Double Blind Phase: Percentage of Participants With Remission Assessed by DAS28-4 (CRP) <2.6 at Weeks 36 and 48
    Description DAS28 is a measure of disease activity in participants with rheumatoid arthritis. DAS28-4 (CRP) was calculated from SJC and TJC using 28 joints count, CRP (mg/L) and PtGA on a 100 mm VAS (VAS: scores ranging from 0 mm [very well] to 100 mm [worst], higher scores indicate worse health condition). Total DAS28-4 (CRP) score range: 0 (none) to 9.4 (extreme disease activity), higher score indicated more disease activity. DAS28-4 (CRP) <=3.2 implied low disease activity and >3.2 to <=5.1 implied moderate disease activity, >5.1 implied high disease activity, and DAS28-4 (CRP) <2.6 implied remission. DAS28-4 (CRP) = 0.56*sqrt(TJC28) + 0.28*sqrt(SJC28) + 0.36*ln(CRP in mg/l +1) + 0.014*PtGA in mm+ 0.96. Percentage of participants with DAS remission (DAS28-4-CRP<2.6) were reported in this outcome measure.

    Description HAQ-DI assesses the degree of difficulty a participant has experienced during the past week in 8 domains of daily living activities: dressing/grooming; arising; eating; walking; reach; grip; hygiene; and other activities.. There were total of 30 items distributed in these 8 domains. Each item was scored on a 4-point scale from 0 to 3: 0= no difficulty; 1= some difficulty; 2= much difficulty; 3= unable to do. Overall score was computed as the sum of domain scores and divided by the number of domains answered. Total possible score range 0 (least difficulty) and 3 (extreme difficulty), where higher scores indicate more difficulty while performing daily living activities.

    Description SF-36 is a participant reported standardized survey designed to assess generic health related quality of life. It consisted of 36 items evaluating 8 aspects of functional health and well-being: physical functioning, role physical, bodily pain, social functioning, mental health, role emotional, vitality, and general health perception. The score range for each of the 8 health aspects was from 0 (poor health) to 100 (better health), higher scores indicating good health condition. Scores of 8 health aspects were summarized to derive the 2 component scores (physical component scores [PCS], mental component scores [MCS]) ranging from 0 (worst) to 100 (best), where higher PCS/MCS indicated good health condition.

    20. Secondary Outcome
    Title Double Blind Phase: Change From Randomization in the SF-36 Health Survey Component Scores at Weeks 36 and 48
    Description SF-36 is a participant reported standardized survey designed to assess generic health related quality of life. It consisted of 36 items evaluating 8 aspects of functional health and well-being: physical functioning, role physical, bodily pain, social functioning, mental health, role emotional, vitality, and general health perception. The score range for each of the 8 health aspects was from 0 (poor health) to 100 (better health), higher scores indicating good health condition. Scores of 8 health aspects were summarized aggregated to derive the two 2 component scores PCS and MCS ranging from 0 (worst) to 100 (best), where higher PCS/MCS indicated good health condition.

    Title Double Blind Phase: Change From Randomization in the European Quality of Life - 5 Dimensions Questionnaire (EQ-5D) Scores at Weeks 36 and 48
    Description EQ-5D was a participant completed instrument designed to assess impact on quality of life in terms of a single utility score in 5 domains: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain and discomfort, and anxiety and depression. 3 possible answers for mobility: 1=no problem in walking, 2=moderate problems in walking, 3= confined to bed; self-care: 1=no problem, 2=moderate problems, 3= unable to wash/dress; usual activities: 1=no problem, 2=moderate problems, 3= unable to do usual activities; pain and discomfort: 1=no pain or discomfort, 2=moderate pain or discomfort, 3= extreme pain or discomfort; anxiety and depression: 1=not anxious or depressed, 2=moderately anxious or depressed, 3= extremely anxious or depressed. The 5-dimensional systems are converted into a single index utility score between 0 and 1, where higher score indicated a better health state.

    Title Double Blind Phase: Change From Randomization in the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy (FACIT)-Fatigue Scale Scores at Weeks 36 and 48
    Description The FACIT-Fatigue scale was a participant completed questionnaire consisted of 13 items that assessed fatigue. Each item was scored on a scale of 0 (maximum fatigue) to 4 (no fatigue), higher scores indicate less fatigue. Total FACIT-fatigue score was obtained by addition of scores from 13 items, giving a possible overall range from 0 (maximum fatigue) to 52 (no fatigue). Higher FACIT-fatigue scores indicated lower level of fatigue, better participant status.

    Title Double Blind Phase: Percentage of Participants Achieving an Improvement of at Least 0.22 Units in HAQ-DI at Weeks 36 and 48
    Description HAQ-DI assesses the degree of difficulty a participant has experienced during the past week in 8 domains of daily living activities: dressing/grooming; arising; eating; walking; reach; grip; hygiene; and other activities.. There were total of 30 items distributed in these 8 domains. Each item was scored on a 4-point scale from 0 to 3: 0= no difficulty; 1= some difficulty; 2= much difficulty; 3= unable to do. Overall score was computed as the sum of domain scores and divided by the number of domains answered. Total possible score range 0 (least difficulty) and 3 (extreme difficulty), where higher scores indicate more difficulty while performing daily living activities. Percentage of participants with an improvement of at least 0.22 units in HAQ scores from baseline (Day 1) to Weeks 36 and 48 were reported in this outcome measure.
