Summary of the Proposed Research:
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease, for which currently we cannot expect complete cure. The drugs that can slow the disease progression are known as disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs), which have many types. Most RA patients experience long-term treatment. According to the treat-to-target strategy proposed by the practice guideline, a physician should select an intervention for a patient, then re-evaluate after 3 to 6 months, based on which a next-step strategy is given. In order to improve long-term prognosis of RA (such as delaying the progression of bone fusion or functional deficiency), we should try to assure 3-6 months short-term clinical outcome to be good primarily. In other words, physicians should select an optimal intervention that would probably benefit the patient within the next 3 to 6 months treatment.
It is not an easy task for doctors to choose the right drug from so many alternatives. Especially evidence based on randomized controlled trials (RCTs) or their meta-analyses (MAs) at the aggregate level can only imply an average effect. But different patients would have different responses even if they are treated with the same drug. Thus it is necessary to identify subgroups of patients who show different responses. One way to achieve it is to build a prediction model of treatment response, taking account patients’ clinical and biological characteristics. We believe this prediction model would help physicians personalize treatment strategy.
For this purpose, we decide to develop a prediction model of treatment response using individual participant data meta-analysis (IPD-MA) of RCTs. It is regarded as a preferred approach, compared with usual observational study-based prediction models, since it has the following merits: (1) RCTs have more rigorously collected data; (2) RCTs are superior in computing relative treatment effects under alternative treatment conditions due to fewer confounders. In addition, IPD-MA, as a collection of multiple RCTs, can increase the statistical power in dealing with complex models.
Several promising modeling approaches of using IPD-MA to predict treatment response have been established and validated in some simulation studies, yet only one study has applied the method to real clinical settings (depression). The lead researcher of that study is also a co-researcher of our study. Besides, improving the modeling method is also one of our goal in this study. We will apply a new two-stage approach in developing this prediction model.
In summary, we are motivated to develop a prediction model via IPD-MA that can predict treatment effect for individual RA patients based on their baseline characteristics. Our final aim is to build a model that can predict treatment response for several key DMARDs, including adalimumab (ADA), a very important TNF-a inhibitors, tocilizumab (TCZ), an anti-IL6 antibody, and Rituximab (RTX), an anti-CD20 antibody, all with plenty of IPD.
The general study process is: (1) search/selection/risk of bias assessment of eligible studies; (2) applying for IPD; (3) conducting IPD-MA for average effect; (4) developing the prediction model using a two-stage approach: stage 1 – risk modeling; stage 2 – meta-regression.
