Trial Outcomes & Findings for COBRA-Slim With or Without Fast Access to TNF Blockade for Remission Induction in Early RA (NCT NCT03649061)

NCT ID: NCT03649061

Last Updated: 2025-06-19

Results Overview

Analysis was based on an intention to treat population, which focused on all patients randomized into the study, irrespective if they actually received the randomized treatment. Fifty-five patients were allocated to Standard COBRA-Slim and 55 to COBRA-Slim Bio-induction. This measure is an indication of the total disease-activity over time or long-term effectiveness, a higher area under the curve indicates a higher disease activity over time and so a lower effectiveness over the time frame of the trial. The scale range for the duration of the trial (104 weeks) is 0.0 to 977.6 * remission: value below 270.4 * low disease activity: from 270.4 till 332.8 (included) * moderate disease activity: above 332.8 till 530.4 * high disease activity: above 530.4

Participant Flow

Of the 284 patients screened, 276 were eligible for the trial and 122 met the criteria of early insufficient responders to an initial COBRA-Slim remission induction regimen. Of this last group 112 patients were randomized, however 2 were considered randomization errors, 10 patients were eligible for randomization but were not randomized per investigator decision.

All patients received a COBRA-Slim remission induction regimen, consisting of methotrexate (MTX) with a step-down scheme of glucocorticosteroids (GC). Patient not reaching low disease activity, based on DAS28CRP, before week 32 or DAS28CRP remission at week 32 were considered early insufficient responders and were eligible for randomization.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: at week 52

Population: Intention to treat (ITT) population

Radiographic progression at week 52 is scored according to the Sharp-Van der Heijde score (SvdH). The SvdH method scores the presence of erosions in 16 joints of hands and wrists (graded from 0 to 5), and in 6 joints of the feet (graded from 0 to 10), and the presence of joint space narrowing in 15 joints of the hands and wrists (graded from 0 to 4) and in 6 joints of the feet (graded from 0 to 4). The maximal range is 280 units for erosion and 168 units for joint space narrowing, summing up to 448 units for the total score. The progression is calculated by subtracting the total score at week 52 minus the total score at baseline (ranging from 0 to 448) Higher values in each (sub) scale represents a worse outcome.
