Scientific titleDifferentiating the mechanism of action of anti-TNF alpha agents
Study acronymDATA study
Study hypothesisEffect of two different anti-TNF inhibitors on mRNA and cytokine protein expression in rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis.
Ethics approval(s)West Glasgow Ethics Committee 1, 03/10/2006, ref: 06/S0703/74
ConditionRheumatoid arthritis
InterventionComparing two different anti TNF drugs:
1. Infliximab 3 mg/kg at week 0, 2, 6 and thereafter every 8 weeks administered intravenously for 12 months
2. Etanercept 25 mg twice weekly administered subcutaneously for 12 months
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measureEffect of the two different anti-TNF inhibitors on mRNA and cytokine protein expression in rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis:
1. mRNA, measured at week 0, 4, and 12
2. Cytokines, measured at week 0, 4, and 12
Secondary outcome measuresEffect on clinical and physiological measures and their correlation with changes in mRNA and cytokine expression. The clinical and physiological measures include the following:
1. Synovial biopsy at baseline (week 0) and week 4
2. Skin biopsy at baseline (week 0) and week 4
3. Ultrasound at baseline and 1 month
4. Hypoxia measurements at baseline and 1 month
5. Blood tests:
5.1. Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR), measured monthly for the duration of the study (1 year)
5.2. C-Reactive Protein (CRP), measured monthly for the duration of the study (1 year)
5.3. Anti-Cyclic Citrullinated Peptide (anti-CCP) antibody at screening visit
5.4. Rheumatoid factor at screening visit
5.5. Full Blood Count (FBC), measured monthly for the duration of the study (1 year)
5.6. Urea and Electrolytes (U&E's), measured monthly for the duration of the study (1 year)
5.7. Liver Function Tests (LFT's), measured monthly for the duration of the study (1 year)
5.8. Hepatitis B and C at screening visit
