ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryCertolizumab Pegol (CZP) Plasma Concentration Level at Week 16Week 16Certolizumab Pegol (CZP) plasma concentration level was measured in micrograms per milliliter (ug/ml).
PrimaryCertolizumab Pegol (CZP) Plasma Concentration Level at Week 48Week 48Certolizumab Pegol (CZP) plasma concentration level was measured in ug/mL.
PrimaryNumber of Participants With Anti-Certolizumab Pegol (Anti-CZP) Antibody Level at Week 16Week 16Number of participants with anti-CZP antibodies were reported.
PrimaryNumber of Participants With Anti-Certolizumab Pegol (Anti-CZP) Antibody Level at Week 48Week 48Number of participants with anti-CZP antibodies were reported.
PrimaryNumber of Participants With Serious Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) During the StudyFrom Baseline (Week 0) up to the Final Visit (70 days after final dose of CZP) (maximum up to 12 years)
A Serious Adverse Event (SAE) is any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose: results in deaths, is life-threatening, requires in patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, is a congenital anomaly or birth defect and other important medical events which based on medical or scientific judgement may jeopardize the patients, or may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent any of the above. TEAEs are defined as AEs starting on or after first administration of CZP and up to 70 days after last dose of study medication.
PrimaryNumber of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) Leading to Permanent Withdrawal of the Investigational Medicinal Product (IMP) During the StudyFrom Baseline (Week 0) up to the Final Visit (70 days after final dose of CZP) (maximum up to 12 years)
An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation study participant administered a pharmaceutical product which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of an IMP, whether or not related to the IMP. TEAEs are defined as AEs starting on or after first administration of CZP and up to 70 days after last dose of study medication. TEAEs leading to permanent withdrawal of the IMP during the study were reported in this outcome measure.
