  • Inadequate response to MTX of 12.5-25 mg / week (unless there is documented toxicity in which doses of> 10 mg / week have been used), as the active RA is defined according to the ACR criteria.
  • Active RA is defined as: six or more tender joints, six or more swollen joints, and at least one of the following two points:
  • duration of morning stiffness equal to or greater than 45 minutes, or rate of
  • erythrocyte sedimentation equal to or greater than 28 mm / hr® ^ or a protein C reagent equal to or greater than 20 mg / l.

  • All subjects must be receiving concomitant metrotrexate therapy as follows:
  • Treatment at least 4 months before entering the study (oral or parenteral)
  • Stable dosage during the last two months with 12.5 to 25 mg / week (oral or parenteral) unless there is documented toxicity and doses as low as 10 mg / week can be used.
  • The route of administration (oral, parenteral) should not change at least 2 months before entering the study and throughout the study.
  • In case of documented MTX toxicity, the dose of MTX can be reduced to> 10 mg / week.
