Observational Study to Explore the Effectiveness of Adalimumab Treatment in Conjunction With Utilization of a Patient Support Program (PSP)

Study Overview
=================
Brief 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.

Rheumatoid Arthritis

Participation Criteria
=================
Eligibility Criteria
-----------------
Inclusion Criteria: Male or female aged at least 18 years that has been newly prescribed adalimumab therapy according to the local product label, with the first dose corresponding to the Enrollment/Baseline visit. Patient with a diagnosis of moderate to severe RA, who has had insufficient response to one or more disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs), and has a prescription of adalimumab according to the local regulations. Patients should be evaluated for tuberculosis (TB) exposure/risk factors for active and latent TB (per local requirements and according to the local product label). Patients must be able and willing to provide written authorization to disclose and use personal health information (and informed consent where applicable) and comply with the requirements of this study protocol as well as agree to data being collected and provided to AbbVie. Exclusion Criteria: Patients should not be enrolled if they cannot be treated in accordance with the local adalimumab product label. Patients treated with > 1 prior biologic DMARD for RA. Any prior treatment with adalimumab is prohibited.

| Participants With RA Receiving Adalimumab<br>Participants with RA who were prescribed adalimumab based on current clinical practice criteria (regardless of participation in the study), with the first dose corresponding to the Enrollment/Baseline visit.

-----------------
Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Percentage of Participants Achieving a Minimal Clinically Important Difference (MCID) in the Health Assessment Questionnaire Disability Index (HAQ-DI) at Week 78 | The HAQ-DI is a self-reported assessment of how the participant's illness affects their ability to function in their daily life over the past week. The HAQ-DI for a participant is calculated as the mean of the following 8 category scores (range: 0 to 3): Dressing and Grooming, Rising, Eating, Walking, Hygiene, Reach, Grip, and Activities. A lower score demonstrates less disability. The MCID in HAQ-DI was defined as an improvement of at least 0.22 in HAQ-DI compared to Baseline. | Baseline, Week 78 | 

Secondary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Percentage of Participants Achieving a MCID in the HAQ-DI at Week 12 | The HAQ-DI is a self-reported assessment of how the participant's illness affects their ability to function in their daily life over the past week. The HAQ-DI for a participant is calculated as the mean of the following 8 category scores (range: 0 to 3): Dressing and Grooming, Rising, Eating, Walking, Hygiene, Reach, Grip, and Activities. A lower score demonstrates less disability. The MCID in HAQ-DI was defined as an improvement of at least 0.22 in HAQ-DI compared to Baseline. | Baseline, Week 12 | 
| Percentage of Participants Achieving a MCID in the HAQ-DI at Week 24 | The HAQ-DI is a self-reported assessment of how the participant's illness affects their ability to function in their daily life over the past week. The HAQ-DI for a participant is calculated as the mean of the following 8 category scores (range: 0 to 3): Dressing and Grooming, Rising, Eating, Walking, Hygiene, Reach, Grip, and Activities. A lower score demonstrates less disability. The MCID in HAQ-DI was defined as an improvement of at least 0.22 in HAQ-DI compared to Baseline. | Baseline, Week 24 | 
| Percentage of Participants Achieving a MCID in the HAQ-DI at Week 36 | The HAQ-DI is a self-reported assessment of how the participant's illness affects their ability to function in their daily life over the past week. The HAQ-DI for a participant is calculated as the mean of the following 8 category scores (range: 0 to 3): Dressing and Grooming, Rising, Eating, Walking, Hygiene, Reach, Grip, and Activities. A lower score demonstrates less disability. The MCID in HAQ-DI was defined as an improvement of at least 0.22 in HAQ-DI compared to Baseline. | Baseline, Week 36 | 
| Percentage of Participants Achieving a MCID in the HAQ-DI at Week 52 | The HAQ-DI is a self-reported assessment of how the participant's illness affects their ability to function in their daily life over the past week.
