life (HRQoL) and ability to perform daily activities. We report here comparative
findings from patient reported outcomes (PROs) assessed with subcutaneous
abatacept (ABA) or adalimumab (ADA) on background methotrexate (MTX)
in the first head-to-head study, AMPLE (Abatacept Versus Adalimumab
Comparison in Biologic Naive RA Subjects with Background Methotrexate).
Objectives: To compare changes in PROs at 1 year in patients with RA treated
with ABA or ADA, both on background MTX.
Methods: AMPLE is a phase IIIb, randomized, investigator-blinded study of 2
year duration. Biologic-nave patients with active RA and inadequate response
to MTX were randomized to either 125 mg ABA weekly or 40 mg ADA bi-weekly
in combination with MTX. PROs evaluated through Day 365 included: HRQoL
assessed using SF-36 (including Physical and Mental Component Summary
subscores [PCS and MCS]), activity limitation over the previous 30 days,
with the Activity Limitation Questionnaire (ALQ)1, productivity,with the work
productivity and activity impairment questionnaire for RA(WPAI:RA)2, physical
and psychosocial independence, captured using items from HAQ, SF-36, and
ALQ.3 Other PROs previously reported from AMPLE, include: patient pain,
patient global assessment, fatigue, and physical function.4 All efficacy analyses
were done using the intent-to-treat population. Baseline characteristics were
analyzed descriptively and changes in PROs from baseline were assessed
using ANCOVA.
Results: Baseline demographic and clinical characteristics of the ABA (n=318)
and ADA (n=328) treatment arms were similar4. Improvements in all domains
of the SF-36, including PCS and MCS observed at Day 169 were maintained
at Day 365. At baseline, the number of days (mean SD) with limited activity
over the previous 30 days was 11.7 10.4 and 12.4 10.3, respectively, for
ABA and ADA. At Day 169, number of days with limited activity was reduced to
5.5 8.2 and 5.9 8.1, which remained sustained at Day 365 at 5.1 7.4 and
6.1 8.3 days for ABA and ADA, respectively. Improvements in productivity
were seen in both treatment groups; however, numerically greater decreases
in work and activity impairment were seen earlier at Day 169, with ABA; at
Day 365, improvements were comparable among both treatment groups. At
baseline, psychosocial independence was 0.3 0.9 and 0.3 0.8 for ABA and
ADA respectively which improved at Day 365 to 1.01.0 and 1.0 1.0. Physical
independence improved from 0.5 1.1 and 0.5 1.0 at baseline to 1.4 0.9 and
1.41.0 at Day 365 in the two groups.
Conclusions: Both SC abatacept and adalimumab, on background MTX, led to
comparable improvements in HRQoL, work productivity, activity limitation and
physical and psychosocial independence. Improvements in these measures
were evident at Day 169 and were sustained through Day 365.
