Summary

This study is a non-confirmatory post-marketing observational study to explore and describe the effectiveness of adalimumab on rheumatoid arthritis (RA) treatment course and participant satisfaction over time in context with utilization of a patient support program (PSP). The core elements of the PSP were call centers (in and outbound)/hotlines, nursing services, starter packs, provision of educational materials (print and digital) regarding RA and adalimumab, and injection guides. Other elements of the PSP, which varied between countries, included (but were not limited to) refill reminders, email contacts, support groups, and newsletters.

Detailed description

The main objectives of the study are to examine the effectiveness of adalimumab treatment with respect to PSPs by means of Health Assessment Questionnaire Disability Index (HAQ-DI), Disease Activity Score (DAS28) results, and European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) response criteria, as well as to evaluate the contribution of PSP to disease control, treatment continuation over time, participant's satisfaction, and PSP utilization. The primary endpoint is the percentage of participants achieving a minimal clinically important difference (MCID) in HAQ-DI at Week 78. (MCID is improvement of at least 0.22 in HAQ-DI compared to Baseline). Secondary endpoints include the percentage of participants achieving MCID in HAQ-DI at Weeks 12, 24, 36, 52, 64 and other effectiveness parameters, including: changes in DAS28, Simplified Disease Activity Index (SDAI), Clinical Disease Activity Index (CDAI), ACR 20/50/70 and EULAR moderate and good responses. Other secondary endpoints include health outcomes assessments including HAQ-DI, Work Productivity and Activity Impairment (WPAI), Compliance Questionnaire Rheumatology (CQR), and Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire for Medication (TSQM) scores, expectation regarding PSP and health management via Patient Activation Measure (PAM-13), change in participant perceptions as measured by the Beliefs about Medicines Questionnaire (BMQ), and satisfaction with PSP as measured by PSP satisfaction assessment.
