Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Participants With Adverse EventsFrom the first dose of study drug in this study until 20 weeks after the last dose of study drug (up to 56 weeks).

An adverse event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation subject administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. The investigator assessed the relationship of each event to the use of study drug as either probably related, possibly related, probably not related or not related. A serious adverse event (SAE) is an event that results in death, is life-threatening, requires or prolongs hospitalization, results in a congenital anomaly, persistent or significant disability/incapacity or is an important medical event that, based on medical judgment, may jeopardize the subject and may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent any of the outcomes listed above. Treatment-emergent events (TEAEs) are defined as an AE that began or worsened in severity after initiation of study drug and 20 weeks (140 days) after last dose.

HAQ-DI: Change From Baseline (in the Lead-in Study) to Week 24Baseline (Lead-in Study), Week 24

The HAQ-DI is a patient-reported questionnaire specific for rheumatoid arthritis that consists of 20 questions referring to 8 domains: dressing/grooming, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip, and daily activities. Participants assessed their ability to do each task over the past week using the following response categories: without any difficulty (0); with some difficulty (1); with much difficulty (2); and unable to do (3). Scores on each task were summed and averaged to provide an overall score ranging from 0 to 3, where 0 represents no disability and 3 very severe, high-dependency disability. HAQ remission indicating normal physical function is defined by HAQ-DI score of \< 0.5. Negative change from Baseline indicates improvement. Baseline is defined as baseline in the lead-in study.
