string(1610) "Background; Although bDMARDs have significantly improved clinical outcomes of RA patients, the association between the presence of autoantibodies and efficacy of bDMARDs has not yet been thoroughly studied.
Objective; The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of autoantibodies in the response to bDMARDs. More specifically we aim at understanding whether there is a different efficacy of bDMARDs in seropositive patients compared to seronegative patients.
Study Design; We are conducting a systematic literature review, if possible complemented by a meta-analysis. RCTs have been identified through previous SLRs addressing the efficacy of bDMARDs to inform the EULAR recommendations for the management of RA.
Participants; Studies that included both autoantibody-positive and negative patients (with the percentage of seropositive patients being ?80%) fulfilling the 1987 or 2010 RA criteria will be eligible. Interventions considered will be on-label dose of bDMARDs and any comparator. Strategy trials will not be included.
Main Outcome Measures; The primary endpoint is the ACR20 response at 6 months. Secondary endpoints are the change in DAS28-ESR, ACR50 response, ACR70 response, achievement of remission, change in HAQ, and progression in total Sharp score, at 6 months. All endpoints will be analyzed in subgroups of patients according to baseline auto-antibody status.
Statistical Analysis; The first step is to collect the above-mentioned endpoints stratified for baseline auto-antibody status. Having all data, we will conduct a meta-analysis of RCTs."

More specifically we aim at understanding whether there is a different efficacy of bDMARDs in seropositive patients compared to seronegative patients. Addressing this issue may aid healthcare providers to make better treatment decisions for RA patients. This study question arose in the context of the EULAR taskforce for the management of RA, and it is undertaken under the auspices of that taskforce.
We are conducting a systematic literature review to address this unmet need. In our search, we found three publication concerning the following trials: ASPIRE trial (Arthritis Rheum. 2004 Nov;50(11):3432-43), GO-AFTER trial (Lancet. 2009 Jul 18;374(9685):210-21), trial published by Kim et al (J Korean Med Sci. 2013 Dec;28(12):1716-22), and START trial (Arthritis Rheum. 2006 Apr;54(4):1075-86). The results of the trial are very interesting to us. Unfortunately the publication did not contain exact data about the number of autoantibody-positive and ?negative patients and about the treatment response for patient subgroups with and without autoantibodies. We are interested in the rheumatoid factor- and ACPA-status of the participants at baseline. We are then primarily interested in disease activity measures at the trial's endpoints for these different subgroups."
["project_specific_aims"]=>
string(970) "Although bDMARDs have significantly improved clinical outcomes of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients, better predictors of treatment response in individual patients are still needed. Patients who are positive for the anticitrullinated peptide antibody (ACPA) are known for having worse clinical and radiographic outcomes, compared to ACPA-negative patients. Previous studies have suggested that the presence of autoantibodies is associated with a higher efficacy of bDMARDs when compared to seronegative patients. However, this phenomenon has not yet been thoroughly studied. The purpose of this study is therefore to investigate the role of autoantibodies in the response to bDMARDs. More specifically we aim at understanding whether there is a different efficacy of bDMARDs in seropositive patients compared to seronegative patients. Addressing this issue may aid healthcare providers to make better treatment decisions and ultimately improve the care for RA patients."

The Cochrane risk of bias assessment tool will be used to assess the risk of bias of each of the studies. For every individual study, the following analysis methods will be used for the primary and secondary outcomes: The risk ratio (RR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) of ACR20, ACR50, ACR70 response, and achievement of remission will be calculated using the Mantel-Haenszel method. The change from baseline in DAS28-ESR, HAQ, and total Sharp score will be calculated by standardized mean differences using the generic inverse variance method. All the primary and secondary outcomes will be compared between the seropositive and seronegative patients.

Project Title:
Effect of rheumatoid factor and anticitrullinated peptide antibody on the efficacy of bDMARDs in patients with RA
Scientific Abstract:
Background; Although bDMARDs have significantly improved clinical outcomes of RA patients, the association between the presence of autoantibodies and efficacy of bDMARDs has not yet been thoroughly studied.
Objective; The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of autoantibodies in the response to bDMARDs. More specifically we aim at understanding whether there is a different efficacy of bDMARDs in seropositive patients compared to seronegative patients.
Study Design; We are conducting a systematic literature review, if possible complemented by a meta-analysis. RCTs have been identified through previous SLRs addressing the efficacy of bDMARDs to inform the EULAR recommendations for the management of RA.
Participants; Studies that included both autoantibody-positive and negative patients (with the percentage of seropositive patients being ?80%) fulfilling the 1987 or 2010 RA criteria will be eligible. Interventions considered will be on-label dose of bDMARDs and any comparator. Strategy trials will not be included.
Main Outcome Measures; The primary endpoint is the ACR20 response at 6 months. Secondary endpoints are the change in DAS28-ESR, ACR50 response, ACR70 response, achievement of remission, change in HAQ, and progression in total Sharp score, at 6 months. All endpoints will be analyzed in subgroups of patients according to baseline auto-antibody status.
Statistical Analysis; The first step is to collect the above-mentioned endpoints stratified for baseline auto-antibody status. Having all data, we will conduct a meta-analysis of RCTs.
Brief Project Background and Statement of Project Significance:
The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of autoantibodies in the response of RA patients to bDMARDs. More specifically we aim at understanding whether there is a different efficacy of bDMARDs in seropositive patients compared to seronegative patients. Addressing this issue may aid healthcare providers to make better treatment decisions for RA patients. This study question arose in the context of the EULAR taskforce for the management of RA, and it is undertaken under the auspices of that taskforce.
We are conducting a systematic literature review to address this unmet need. In our search, we found three publication concerning the following trials: ASPIRE trial (Arthritis Rheum. 2004 Nov;50(11):3432-43), GO-AFTER trial (Lancet. 2009 Jul 18;374(9685):210-21), trial published by Kim et al (J Korean Med Sci. 2013 Dec;28(12):1716-22), and START trial (Arthritis Rheum. 2006 Apr;54(4):1075-86). The results of the trial are very interesting to us. Unfortunately the publication did not contain exact data about the number of autoantibody-positive and ?negative patients and about the treatment response for patient subgroups with and without autoantibodies. We are interested in the rheumatoid factor- and ACPA-status of the participants at baseline. We are then primarily interested in disease activity measures at the trial's endpoints for these different subgroups.
Specific Aims of the Project:
Although bDMARDs have significantly improved clinical outcomes of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients, better predictors of treatment response in individual patients are still needed. Patients who are positive for the anticitrullinated peptide antibody (ACPA) are known for having worse clinical and radiographic outcomes, compared to ACPA-negative patients. Previous studies have suggested that the presence of autoantibodies is associated with a higher efficacy of bDMARDs when compared to seronegative patients. However, this phenomenon has not yet been thoroughly studied. The purpose of this study is therefore to investigate the role of autoantibodies in the response to bDMARDs. More specifically we aim at understanding whether there is a different efficacy of bDMARDs in seropositive patients compared to seronegative patients. Addressing this issue may aid healthcare providers to make better treatment decisions and ultimately improve the care for RA patients.

Software Used:
Data Source and Inclusion/Exclusion Criteria to be used to define the patient sample for your study:
We are conducting a systematic literature review. RCTs have been identified through previous SLRs addressing the efficacy of bDMARDs to inform the EULAR recommendations for the management of RA [1-3].
Studies that included both autoantibody-positive and negative patients (with a percentage of seropositive patients ?80%) fulfilling the 1987 or 2010 RA criteria will be eligible. Interventions considered will be on-label dose of bDMARDs and any comparator. Strategy trials will not be included, as due to their complex design they do not allow to properly investigate the effect of bDMARDs in subgroups of patients (seropositive vs seronegative) without the confounding effect of the steered-treatment.
Primary and Secondary Outcome Measure(s) and how they will be categorized/defined for your study:
Primary Endpoint: ACR20 response at 6 months.
Secondary Endpoints: The change in DAS28-ESR, ACR50 response, ACR70 response, achievement of remission, change in HAQ, and progression in total Sharp (van der Heijde) score, all at 6 months.
The same outcomes at 12 and at 24 months, but not compared to placebo as there is no placebo-controlled arm beyond 6 months, but only to analyze whether there is a sustainability of response.
All endpoints will be analyzed in subgroups of patients according to baseline auto-antibody status.
Main Predictor/Independent Variable and how it will be categorized/defined for your study:
Main predictor/independent variable is baseline auto-antibody status. Subgroup analyses based on the following subgroups will be performed for all endpoints: 1) ACPA-negative and RF-negative, 2) ACPA-negative and RF-positive, 3) ACPA-positive and RF-negative, 4) ACPA-positive and RF-positive.
Other Variables of Interest that will be used in your analysis and how they will be categorized/defined for your study:
None
Statistical Analysis Plan:
The first step is to collect the endpoints on disease activity, function and radiographic progression, stratified for baseline auto-antibody status. Subgroup analyses based on the following subgroups will be performed: 1) ACPA-negative and RF-negative, 2) ACPA-negative and RF-positive, 3) ACPA-positive and RF-negative, 4) ACPA-positive and RF-positive. A standardized data extraction sheet is provided for the collection of these data.
The Cochrane risk of bias assessment tool will be used to assess the risk of bias of each of the studies. For every individual study, the following analysis methods will be used for the primary and secondary outcomes: The risk ratio (RR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) of ACR20, ACR50, ACR70 response, and achievement of remission will be calculated using the Mantel-Haenszel method. The change from baseline in DAS28-ESR, HAQ, and total Sharp score will be calculated by standardized mean differences using the generic inverse variance method. All the primary and secondary outcomes will be compared between the seropositive and seronegative patients. Heterogeneity will be indicated by I2 wherein 0% means no heterogeneity and 100% means the strongest heterogeneity. Estimates will be pooled according to the random effects model.
Narrative Summary:
The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of autoantibodies in the response of RA patients to biological disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (bDMARDs). More specifically we aim at understanding whether there is a different efficacy of bDMARDs in seropositive patients compared to seronegative patients. Addressing this issue may aid healthcare providers to make better treatment decisions for RA patients. This study question arose in the context of the EULAR taskforce for the management of RA, and it is undertaken under the auspices of that taskforce.
