Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Participants Achieving American College of Rheumatology 20 (ACR 20) ResponseWeek 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, LOCF (Week 12 or discontinuation time)

ACR 20 response is a decrease of at least 20 per cent in both tender and swollen joint count \[TJC and SJC\] and in 3 to 5 assessments (participant's assessment of pain visual analog scale \[VAS\] with 0, no pain to 10, worst pain; patient's and physician's global assessment of disease activity VAS scales: overall disease activity \[0, very well to 10, very poor and 0, no arthritis activity to 10, extremely active, respectively\]; Health Assessment Questionnaire \[HAQ-DI\]: 20-questions on life activities \[0, no difficulty to 3, inability to perform a task\]; C-reactive protein\[CRP\]).

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Changes From the Pretreatment Values in the Disease Activity Score (DAS) 28, and ACR ComponentsLOCF (Week 12 or discontinuation time)

DAS28 (CRP) is calculated using TJC, SJC C-Reactive Protein ( CRP in mg/dL ), and the Patient's Global Assessment of Disease Activity - Visual Analog Scale (VAS in mm) using the following formula: 0.56 x √(TJC) + 0.28 x √(SJC) + 0.36 x log (CRP+1) + 0.014 x Global Assessment of Arthritis + 0.96 where 28 joints are examined and a lower score indicates less disease activity.

DAS28 (ESR) is calculated using TJC, SJC erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR in mm/hour), and the Patient's Global Assessment of Disease Activity - Visual Analog Scale (VAS in mm) using the following formula: 0.56 x √(TJC) + 0.28 x √(SJC) + 0.70 x log (ESR) + 0.014 x Global Assessment of Arthritis where 28 joints are examined and a lower score indicates less disease activity.

A negative change score indicates improvement. Higher score indicated more disease activity. DAS28 =\<3.2 implied low disease activity, \>3.2 to 5.1 implied moderate disease activity, \>5.1 implied high disease activity.

Percentage of Participants Achieving ACR 50 ResponseWeek 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, LOCF (Week 12 or discontinuation time)

ACR 50 response is a decrease of at least 50 per cent in both tender and swollen joint count and in 3 to 5 assessments (participant's assessment of pain VAS with 0, no pain to 10, worst pain; patient's and physician's global assessment of disease activity VAS scales: overall disease activity \[0, very well to 10, very poor and 0, no arthritis activity to 10, extremely active, respectively\]; HAQ-DI: 20-questions on life activities \[0, no difficulty to 3, inability to perform a task\]; CRP).

Percent Changes From the Pretreatment Values in the Disease Activity Score (DAS) 28, and ACR ComponentsLOCF (Week 12 or discontinuation time)

ACR components are tender joints count (TJC), swollen joints count (SJC), participant assessment of pain, participant global assessment of disease activity, physician global assessment of disease activity, self-assessed disability (disability index of the Health Assessment Questionnaire \[HAQ-DI\]); and C-Reactive Protein (CRP) or erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR).

Percentage of Participants Achieving American College of Rheumatology 70 (ACR 70) ResponseWeek 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, LOCF (Week 12 or discontinuation time)

ACR 70 response is a decrease of at least 70 per cent in both tender and swollen joint count and in 3 to 5 assessments (participant's assessment of pain VAS with 0, no pain to 10, worst pain; patient's and physician's global assessment of disease activity VAS scales: overall disease activity \[0, very well to 10, very poor and 0, no arthritis activity to 10, extremely active, respectively\]; HAQ-DI: 20-questions on life activities \[0, no difficulty to 3, inability to perform a task\]; CRP).
