Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Main Objective: For the Phase 1 responders, to assess the efficacy of ETN 25 mg once weekly (in combination with MTX) for the maintenance of sustained remission for a further 39-week period, in comparison with continued placebo.;Secondary Objective: ? Assess productivity as measured using the Work Productivity and Activity Impairment Questionnaire: RA (WPAI:RA). WPAI:RA will be measured approximately every 13 weeks and the total productivity impact for each subject across all visits will be evaluated.<br>? To evaluate other clinical efficacy endpoints.<br>? To assess the safety of the treatment regimens over the 3 study phases;Primary end point(s): The proportion of subjects with sustained remission defined as DAS28 <2.6 at the week 76 and 91 visits of Phase 2 and no corticosteroid boost between weeks 52 and 64 Visits.
