2. Female subjects of childbearing potential who engage in heterosexual intercourse must agree to use protocol specified method(s) of contraception and agree to refrain from egg donation and in vitro fertilization as described in the protocol.
3-Fertile male subjects who engage in heterosexual intercourse must agree to use protocol specified method(s) of contraception and agree to refrain from sperm donation as described in the protocol.

Please see study protocol for full details
Are the trial subjects under 18? no
Number of subjects for this age range:
F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes
F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range 480
F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) yes
F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range 120
The principle exclusion criteria are:
1-Subjects who had been prematurely withdrawn from one of the 2 core studies
(GLPG0634-CL-203 or GLPG0634-CL-204), for any reason, including fulfilling the individual stopping criteria.
2. Subjects who are deemed not to be benefiting from the study medication based
upon lack of improvement or worsening of their symptoms. Local guidelines for subject treatment need to be followed.
3. Subjects with persistent abnormal laboratory values, associated with the use of
the study medication (including but not limited to hematology, liver and renal function values) during one of the 2 core studies (GLPG0634-CL-203 and GLPG0634-CL-204), according to the investigator’s clinical judgment.
4. Subjects who require immunization with live/live attenuated vaccine.
5. Subjects with diagnosis since the inclusion to GLPG0634-CL-203 or GLPG0634-CL-204 core studies of rheumatic autoimmune disease or inflammatory joint disease other than RA, except for secondary Sjögren’s syndrome.
6. Subjects with symptoms suggestive of moderate to severe congestive heart failure or major cerebrovascular event since the inclusion to GLPG0634-CL-203 and GLPG0634-CL-204 core studies.
7. Subjects with symptoms suggestive of GI tract ulceration and/or active diverticulitis since the inclusion to GLPG0634-CL-203 and GLPG0634-CL-204 core studies.
8. Subjects with symptoms suggestive of possible lymphoproliferative disease including lymphadenopathy or splenomegaly since the inclusion to GLPG0634-CL-203 and GLPG0634-CL-204 core studies.
9. Subjects with symptoms suggestive of malignancy since the inclusion to GLPG0634-CL-203 and GLPG0634-CL-204 core studies.
10. If applicable to national or local legislation: history of being admitted to an institution under administrative or court order since the inclusion to GLPG0634-CL-203 and GLPG0634-CL-204 core studies.
11. History of drug and alcohol abuse since the inclusion to GLPG0634-CL-203 and GLPG0634–CL-204 core studies.
12. Any condition or circumstances which, in the opinion of the investigator, may make a subject unlikely or unable to complete the study or comply with study procedures and requirements.

Name Time Method Main Objective: The primary objective is to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of filgotinib for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA).;Secondary Objective: The secondary objectives are to evaluate the long-term efficacy of filgotinib and to evaluate the long-term effects of filgotinib administration on subject’s disability, fatigue, and quality of life.;Primary end point(s): Primary Endpoint:<br>Safety and tolerability of long-term dosing of filgotinib 200 mg q.d. or 100 mg b.i.d.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: At every visit as defined in the protocol
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Secondary end point(s): Secondary Endpoints:<br>Evolution in the percentage of subjects achieving American College of Rheumatology (ACR)20, ACR50, ACR70, and ACR-N responses; European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) responses; ACR/EULAR remission, clinical disease activity index (CDAI), simplified disease activity index (SDAI), and the disease-activity score based on 28 joints (DAS28 c-reactive protein [CRP]) every 12 weeks or until the Final Visit or the Early Discontinuation Visit (EDV). Change from Baseline in the Quality of Life (functional assessment of chronic illness therapy [FACIT] fatigue scale and 36-item short form health survey [SF-36] scores) every 48 weeks or until the Final Visit or the EDV.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: every visit; and at the end of 96 months.
