ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryNumber of Participants in Clinical Remission on Canakinumab Who Are Able to Remain at an Initial Reduced Canakinumab Dose or Prolonged Canakinumab Dose Interval.baseline to 24 weeks
The primary efficacy variable for Part II was the proportion of patients in clinical remission on canakinumab 4 mg/kg (+/- concomitant NSAID only) who were able to remain on a reduced dose or on prolonged dose interval for at least 24 consecutive weeks. As the primary objective was to show statistically significance in at least one of canakinumab treatment arms (reduced dose and prolonged dose interval arms) in Part II then the Type I error rate 5% was controlled and split to 2.5%. Clinical remission per protocol is defined as the maintenance of inactive disease for at least 6 months (24consecutive weeks) while on therapy. The primary analysis considered both inactive disease status and the patient dose step duration. In the event the inactive disease status was missing, yet the patient remained at the same dose level through the next visit with the same disease status, it was concluded that inactive disease was maintained during this time period and was carried forward.

The estimated study duration is not more than 216 weeks (with an average expected duration of 108 weeks).AEs, Deaths, other serious adverse events or discontinuations due to AE, Part I (Safety set)
