| Description | |
|---|---|
| Short Term (ST) Abatacept (ABA)-Previous User | In participants who had previously used Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF)-agonists, open-label abatacept was administered on Days 1, 15, and 29 and then once a month thereafter on a background of non-biologic Disease Modifying Anti-Rheumatic Drug (DMARD)s. Participants weighing < 60 kg received 500 mg, participants weighing 60 to 100 kg received 750 mg, and participants weighing > 100 kg received 1 gram of open-label abatacept by intravenous (IV) infusion. |
| ST-Current User | In participants currently using Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF)-agonists, open-label abatacept was administered on Days 1, 15, and 29 and then once a month thereafter on a background of non-biologic Disease Modifying Anti-Rheumatic Drug (DMARD)s. Participants weighing < 60 kg received 500 mg, participants weighing 60 to 100 kg received 750 mg, and participants weighing > 100 kg received 1 gram of open-label abatacept by intravenous (IV) infusion. |
| Long-term ABA | Participants continued to receive the same 10 mg/kg weight-tiered dose of abatacept that they received in the initial short-term period. |

| [1] | The mean number of tender joints was evaluated based on the number of tender joints in a standard 68 joint count. |
|---|---|
| [2] | The mean number of swollen joints was evaluated based on the number of swollen joints in a standard 66 joint count. |
| [3] | The HAQ-DI includes 20 questions to assess physical functions in 8 domains: dressing, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip and common activities. The domain questions are evaluated on a 4-point scale: 0=without any difficulty, 1= with some difficulty, 2= with much difficulty, and 3= unable to do. HAQ-DI= sum of worst scores in each domain divided by the number of domains answered. HAQ-DI ranges from a minimum of 0 (no difficulty) to a maximum overall score of 3(unable to do). |
| [4] | hs-CRP is a acute phase reactant protein that is a clinical marker for Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). Levels of hs-CRP can be used to determine DAS28. |
| [5] | The DAS28 (CRP) is a continuous disease measure which is a composite of 4 variables: the 28 tender joint count, the 28 swollen joint count, serum CRP level, and participant assessment of disease activity measure on a visual analogue scale. The DAS28 has numeric thresholds that define high disease activity (> 5.1), low disease activity (< 3.2) and remission (< 2.6). A clinically significant response= decrease in DAS28 score of >1.2 from baseline. |
| [6] | Rheumatoid factor (RF or RhF) is an autoantibody (antibody directed against an organism's own tissues) most relevant in rheumatoid arthritis. It is an antibody against the Fc portion of Immunoglobulin (Ig)G, which is itself an antibody. RF and IgG join to form immune complexes which contribute to the disease process. |
