Trial Review

Did you know?

The ANZCTR now automatically displays published trial results and simplifies the addition of trial documents such as unpublished protocols and statistical analysis plans.

These enhancements will offer a more comprehensive view of trials, regardless of whether their results are positive, negative, or inconclusive.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
* Patients =18 years old at treatment initiation
* Patients diagnosed with established moderate to severe active RA as per the 1987 ACR criteria/2010 American College of Rheumatology (ACR)/European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) Rheumatoid Arthritis Classification Criteria
* Patients naïve of Abatacept IV and who at their physician's discretion are initiated with Abatacept SC. In countries where required (e.g. Germany and Spain), patients naïve of Abatacept IV and who at their physician's discretion have been initiated with Abatacept SC at least 1 month prior to enrollment visit up to 6 months if baseline and disease characteristics data are available
* For Spanish pharmacogenomic sub-study:
* Caucasian patient and from European ancestry
* Patient for whom a collection of blood sample before the initiation of abatacept is possible or available (blood sample was taken in routine practice before the study enrolment)
* Patient who agreed to participate in this substudy and provide a specific signed Pharmacogenomic Blood RNA informed consent
* In the UK, the ART substudy will be proposed to all patients enrolled in ASCORE from amendment approval and application date

Summary
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to estimate the retention rate of Abatacept SC over 24 months in routine clinical practice, in rheumatoid arthritis patients, in each country involved in the study. The purpose of the UK substudy is to explore whether integrating self-assessment into routine care could maintain tight control (of inflammation/disease activity) and at potentially lower cost resulting in improved health outcomes and cost-effectiveness.
