Study Description

Brief Summary

This randomized, open-label, parallel-group, multicenter study will evaluate the rate of cardiovascular events with tocilizumab in comparison to etanercept in participants with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Participants will be randomized to receive intravenous (IV) 8 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) tocilizumab every 4 weeks or subcutaneous 50 milligrams (mg) etanercept weekly, with or without non-biologic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug (DMARD).

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase

    Outcome Measures

    1. Primary Outcome
    Title Time to First Cardiovascular (CV) Events Adjudication Committee (EAC) (CV-EAC) Adjudicated Event
    Description Prospective comparison of time to first occurrence of any component of the composite of CV death (including events adjudicated as 'Undetermined Cause of Death'), non-fatal myocardial infarction, or non-fatal stroke.
    Time Frame From baseline up to 4.9 years

    Outcome Measure Data

    Analysis Population Description
    Analysis was conducted on the Intention to treat (ITT) population, i.e. all patients randomized who have taken at least one dose of study medication
    Arm/Group Title Tocilizumab Etanercept
    Arm/Group Description Participants received 8 mg/kg tocilizumab IV every 4 weeks until switch to another RA therapy or up to 4.9 years. Participants received 50 mg etanercept subcutaneously weekly until switch to another RA therapy or up to 4.9 years.

    Statistical Analysis 1
    Statistical Analysis Overview Comparison Group Selection Tocilizumab, Etanercept
    Comments The analysis assessed in the ITT population the hazard ratio of the primary endpoint in TCZ compared to ETA patients. This was done through a comparison of the hazard functions between TCZ and ETA patients. A stratified Cox proportional hazards regression model was used in evaluating the relative CV event rate of TCZ over ETA, with the following randomization factors used as strata: Previous exposure to anti-TNF (Yes/No) History of CV events (Yes/No)
    Type of Statistical Test Non-Inferiority or Equivalence
    Comments In order to reject the null hypothesis and claim non-inferiority of TCZ compared to ETA, a HR point estimate of ≤ 1.278 and upper limit of 95% CI <1.8 was required.
