  • Had disease onset at > 16 years of age.
  • Aged 18 - 80 years.
  • Currently being treated with a stable, well tolerated weekly dose of MTX between 10-25 mg for at least 6 consecutive prior to screening visit.
  • Currently being treated with folic/folinic acid in conjunction with their MTX treatment.
  • (Note: Patients may begin folic/folinic acid treatment after their screening visit, but must remain on stable dose for two weeks before undergoing the Day 1 assessments.)

Medically acceptable forms of birth control include oral contraceptives, injectable or implantable methods, intrauterine devices, tubal ligation (if performed more than 1 year before screening), or properly used barrier contraception. Additionally, the use of condoms is suggested as an adjunct to the methods previously addressed to protect against sexually transmitted diseases and to provide additional protection against accidental pregnancy.
