Study Summary

The study objective of Period 1 was to compare the safety and efficacy of upadacitinib 15 mg once daily (QD) to abatacept on a background of conventional synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (csDMARDs) for the treatment of signs and symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (bDMARD)-inadequate response or bDMARD-intolerant participants with moderately to severely active RA. The study objective of Period 2 is to evaluate the long-term safety, tolerability, and efficacy of upadacitinib 15 mg QD in participants with RA who had completed Period 1.

Primary Outcome

The Disease Activity Score (DAS) 28 is a composite index used to assess rheumatoid arthritis disease activity, calculated based on the tender joint count (out of 28 evaluated joints), swollen joint count (out of 28 evaluated joints), Patient's Global Assessment of Disease Activity (0-100 mm), and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP; in mg/L). Scores on the DAS28 range from 0 to approximately 10, where higher scores indicate more disease activity. A negative change from Baseline indicates
