Intervention(s)
|
Trade Name: Enbrel Product Name: Enbrel Product Code: EMEA/H/C000262 Pharmaceutical Form: Solution for injection in pre-filled syringe
|
Primary Outcome(s)
|
Primary end point(s): The proportion of patients maintaining remission 6 months after decreasing the dose of Etanercept to 50mg every 2 weeks compared to the proportion of patients maintaining remission while continuing the established dose of 50mg weekly.
|
Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: month 6
|
Main Objective: The aim of the current study is to explore the potential of a dose reduction of Etanercept on safety and persisting remission in RA patients.
|
Secondary Objective: Secondary, possible baseline predictors for the maintenance of remission will be explored and the percentage of patients regaining remission after a flare will be investigated.
|
Secondary Outcome(s)
|
Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Month 3, 6, 9 and 12
|
Secondary end point(s): - Exploring baseline predictors for the maintenance of remission (including ultrasound)
- Proportion of patients maintaining remission for 1 year
- Proportion of patients maintaining remission for 6 months and 1 year according to the Boolean definition
- Proportion of patients maintaining remission for 6 months and 1 year according to the SDAI definition
- Proportion of patients regaining remission status when retreated with their original dose of Etanercept
- Evaluating the usefulness the FLARE questionnaire
- Safety: number and type of (serious) adverse events.
