Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Change From Baseline in Health Assessment Questionnaire-Disability Index (HAQ-DI) Score at Month 3	Baseline, Month 3	HAQ-DI: participant-reported assessment of ability to perform tasks in 8 categories of daily living activities:dress/groom;arise;eat; walk;reach;grip; hygiene;common activities over past week. Each item scored on 4-point scale from 0-3:0=no difficulty;1=some difficulty;2=much difficulty;3=unable to do. Overall score was computed as sum of domain scores and divided by number of domains answered. Total possible score range 0-3:0=least difficulty and 3=extreme difficulty. For comparison of CP-690,550 with placebo, placebo sequences were combined into single reporting group for Month 3 analysis.
Percentage of Participants With Disease Activity Score Based on 28-Joint Count and Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (4 Variables) (DAS28-4 [ESR]) Less Than 2.6 at Month 3	Month 3	DAS28-4 (ESR) was calculated from SJC and TJC using 28 joints count, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR)(millimeter/hour \[mm/hour\]) and patient's global assessment (PtGA) of disease activity (participant rated arthritis activity assessment). Total score range:0-9.4, higher score=more disease activity. DAS28-4 (ESR) less than or equal to (\<=)3.2 implied low disease activity, greater than (\>)3.2 to 5.1 implied moderate to high disease activity, less than (\<)2.6=remission. For comparison of CP-690,550 with placebo, placebo sequences were combined into single reporting group for Month 3 analysis.
