Preliminary radiographic data from the ATTRACT (Anti-Tumor Necrosis Factor Trial in
Rheumatoid Arthritis With Concomitant Therapy) study, indicating the superiority of
infliximab plus methotrexate over methotrexate alone in patients who did and did not
achieve an ACR20 (that is, ACR20 responders and non-responders). ACR20 is a more than
20% improvement in tender and swollen joint counts and at least three of the following
disease activity variables: the patient's assessment of pain, the patient's global
assessment of disease activity, the physician's global assessment of disease activity,
the patient's assessment of physical function, and the erythrocyte sedimentation rate
or C-reactive protein level. *P < 0.05 versus placebo. Data on file, Centocor, Inc., Malvern, PA, USA.
