Brief Summary:
To evaluate the effects of denosumab on erosion healing and change in physical function in RA patients.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Rheumatoid Arthritis Drug: Denosumab Other: Placebo Phase 2

Detailed Description:
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, which aimed to evaluate the effects of denosumab on erosion healing and change in physical function in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients in low-disease activity or remission receiving synthetic DMARDs (sDMARDs) treatment using High-resolution peripheral quantitative CT (HR-pQCT).

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. The percentage of patients with erosion healing determined using HR-pQCT on MCP 2-4 [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
    1). A decrease in erosion volume of ≥ smallest detectable change (SDC) from baseline, and 2). The presence of > SDC in osteosclerosis at the margin of erosion.

  2. The percentage of patients with erosion healing determined using HR-pQCT on MCP 2-4 [ Time Frame: 24 months ]
    1). A decrease in erosion volume of ≥ smallest detectable change (SDC) from baseline, and 2). The presence of > SDC in osteosclerosis at the margin of erosion.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Erosion progression [ Time Frame: 12 and 24 month ]
    Changes in size of erosion (depth, width and volume) and marginal osteosclerosis (semi-quantitative and quantitative) using HR-pQCT

  2. Radiographic progression [ Time Frame: 12 and 24 months ]
    Radiographic progression expressed by changes in van der Heijde-Sharp score on radiograph

  3. Change in various patient-reported outcomes [ Time Frame: 12 and 24 month ]
    Changes in physical function (HAQ) will be measured

  4. Association between the changes in erosion size on HR-pQCT, van der Heijde-Sharp score on radiograph and HAQ [ Time Frame: 24 month ]
    Association between the changes in erosion size on HR-pQCT, van der Heijde-Sharp score on radiograph and HAQ will be analysed

  5. Changes in joint space width (minimal, maximal, asymmetry and distribution) using HR-pQCT [ Time Frame: 12 and 24 month ]
    Changes in joint space width (minimal, maximal, asymmetry and distribution) using HR-pQCT
