1)Previously received ofatumumab or placebo in Trial Hx-CD20-403
2)Applicable only to patients on methotrexate therapy at time of screening:
•Treatment with a stable dose of methotrexate (7.5 – 25 mg/week, p.o., i.m., and/or s.c.) = 4 weeks prior to visit 2 and
•Treatment with methotrexate = 12 weeks prior to Visit 2, with possible interruption of treatment of maximum two weeks in total, in the period 5-12 weeks from baseline.
3)Applicable only to patients on oral corticosteroids therapy at time of screening:
•Treatment with a stable dose of oral corticosteroids (= 10 mg/day prednisolone or equivalent) = 4 weeks prior to visit 2
4)Active disease at the time of screening as defined as:
•= 3 swollen joints (of 28 joints assessed) and
•= 3 tender joints (of 28 joints assessed) and
•DAS28=3.2 (based on ESR)
Note:
To accommodate for fluctuations in joint swelling, tenderness and ESR the following will be allowed:
a)Visit 1:
The joint swelling count, tenderness count, and ESR may be repeated once during the 14 day period from the screening visit to the baseline visit (Visit 2), to meet requirements for inclusion criterion 4. All three assessments should be reassessed regardless of which of the three assessments fails inclusion criterion 4. If one of the three criteria after the reassessment still do not fulfill inclusion criterion 4, Visit 1 may be repeated several times within the recruitment period.
b)Visit 2:
The swollen and tender joints should be reassessed at baseline (Visit 2). Where possible, joint count reassessment should be performed at the baseline visit (Visit 2); if this is not possible it can be performed = 3 days prior to Visit 2. If the patient does not have = 3 swollen and tender joints at Visit 2, this visit may be repeated once within the following 4 week period.
If joint counts at the repeated Visit 2 (if applicable) are still not meeting eligibility criterion no. 4, then Visit 1 and Visit 2 may be repeated several times within the recruitment period.
5)Following receipt of verbal and written information about the study, the patient must provide signed informed consent before any study related activity is carried out.
