From September 2005 to June 2013, the AIR, ORA, and REGATE registries included 4134 patients (rituximab, 1947 patients from September 2005 to January 2010; abatacept, 823 from January 2007 to October 2010; and tocilizumab, 1364 from April 2010 to June 2013) from 107 centres: 53 university and 54 non-university centres (86 centres participated in AIR, 82 in ORA, 77 in REGATE, and 53 in all three registries) (fig 1). Sensitivity analyses of drug retention without failure at month 24 for abatacept and tocilizumab. Validation of the French translated Richmond vigilance-agitation scale. Failure was defined as death or initiation of a new biologic or combination of conventional DMARDs, or noticeable increase in oral corticosteroid dose (>10 mg/d from baseline). According to the Grambsch and Therneau test15 (P<0.001), proportional hazards assumption of the planned marginal Cox model was violated (see supplementary eTable 1). Subphenotypes in acute respiratory distress syndrome: latent class analysis of data from two randomised controlled trials. Why Famous: associated with the New Wave of the 1960s. Objective To compare the effectiveness and safety of three non-tumour necrosis factor (TNF) α inhibitors (rituximab, abatacept, and tocilizumab) in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. The objectives of these registries are to determine and compare the effectiveness and safety of intravenous rituximab, abatacept, and tocilizumab in routine practice, and they aim to enrol most patients in France who initiated these drugs as soon as they were marketed. *Not meeting one of the inclusion criteria (n=781) or missing value for at least one inclusion criterion (n=170).

Recent directions in personalised acute respiratory distress syndrome medicine. To limit the risk of rituximab being favoured over abatacept or tocilizumab, we chose a primary endpoint evaluation at month 24. Monthly evaluation of drug retention before drug infusion might result in an earlier decision to discontinue abatacept or tocilizumab compared with rituximab. ARDS, possibly because of the misclassification of 21% of patients. Adult respiratory distress syndrome. Ethical approval: The three registries were approved by an institutional review board (CCTIRS) (approval numbers 06140 for AIR, 1152934 for ORA, and 910346 for REGATE) and regulatory authorities (CNIL) before data collection. – Authors' reply. ‡Inclusion period: patients who initiated treatment before March 2013 (ie, two years before database was locked, in March 2015, to have at least two years of theoretical follow-up). Patients were analysed in the groups to which they were initially treated. To test the robustness of our results, we used truncated weights and multiple outcome criteria on the cohort. Because the data were not systematically recorded at exact fixed times, we used a two month window (the closest information to the time within two months before or after this time). Average durations of survival without drug failure estimated by restricted mean survival times were 19.8 months for rituximab, 15.6 months for abatacept, and 19.1 months for tocilizumab. The study was conducted according to the current regulations of the International Conference on Harmonization guidelines and the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki.

Conclusion Among adults with refractory rheumatoid arthritis followed-up in routine practice, rituximab and tocilizumab were associated with greater improvements in outcomes at two years compared with abatacept.

Driving pressure and survival in the acute respiratory distress syndrome. Statistical analyses were carried out in SAS 9.4 (SAS Institute, Cary, NC) and R 3.2.2 (R Core Team, 2015, R Foundation for Statistical Computing, Vienna, Austria, www.R-project.org/). Covariate balance was checked after weighting by computing standardised differences. Other - Spouse.

Julien finds the money, but Edward makes a reckless move. At month 24, more participants treated with rituximab or tocilizumab than with abatacept showed a good or moderate EULAR response (table 4, eTable 4). PR and XM contributed equally to the study. Shell. XM received an honorarium for participation in boards without any relation to this study from Bristol-Meyers Squibb, GSK, Janssen, Pfizer, and UCB. We obtained the list of patients receiving intravenous rituximab, abatacept, or tocilizumab in each centre from the pharmacist of the hospitals. In patients with rheumatoid arthritis, non-TNF targeted biologic agents, including rituximab (a B cell depleting agent), abatacept (targeting T cell costimulation), and tocilizumab (an interleukin 6 receptor inhibitor) have shown efficacy compared with placebo, These three biologic agents have not been compared against each other in randomised controlled trials, Randomised controlled head-to-head comparisons of these three drugs will probably never be performed, Among adults with refractory rheumatoid arthritis followed-up in routine practice, treatment with rituximab or tocilizumab was associated with larger improvements in outcomes at two years compared with abatacept.

Survival without serious adverse events was estimated globally and for each type of event (serious infection, MACE, cancer, death) by weighted Kaplan-Meier product limit estimator. Whether improvement in ARDS phenotyping can decrease mortality should be assessed in a future clinical trial. In case of serious adverse events (death; cancers; serious infections, defined as those requiring intravenous antibiotics, hospital admission, or resulting in death; and major cardiovascular events (ie, death of cardiovascular origin, stroke, myocardial infarction)), study nurses were asked to send a copy of the chart to each registry coordinator. Lack of failure was included in this context because rituximab is administered intermittently, and therefore it would be difficult to determine retention without such information. Jean-Paul Belmondo is currently married to Natty Belmondo. The database was frozen in March 2015 for the present analysis. These results apply to patients with longstanding and refractory rheumatoid arthritis who had previously received one or more biologics, and not biologic agent naïve patients with shorter disease duration. Most of the patients enrolled in the study were refractory to previous treatment with anti-TNF agents. The strengths of our registry data include its real life setting (as reflected by the burden of comorbidities; in the ORA registry, only about 20% of patients would have fulfilled all the inclusion criteria for at least one of the pivotal controlled trials27); the large number of unselected patients enrolled corresponding to most people who initiated a non-TNF biologic (eg, >85% of prescriptions of rituximab in non-haematology and non-oncology departments between 2005 and 200928); enrolment in university and non-university centres; the systematic collection at prespecified intervals of effectiveness and safety data from patient charts independent of any physician’s intervention; patient lists obtained from pharmacists and therefore the inclusion of consecutive patients in each centre without bias; the intravenous administration of drugs in hospital, which ensures adherence to treatment and accurate information on baseline characteristics, drug retention, and co-treatments; the long term prospective follow-up; and centralised validation of serious adverse events.

The inclusion criteria were diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis according to the 1987 American College of Rheumatology criteria, age more than 18 years, and initiation of intravenous treatment with rituximab, abatacept, or tocilizumab before March 2013 (inclusion at least two years before database was locked in March 2015 to ensure a minimal theoretical follow-up of two years for all patients).
