Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to summarize the safety and tolerability of abatacept during 6 months of combined treatment with one or more of the background non-biologic disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) approved for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in subjects with active RA.

Short-term Period: Mean Change From Baseline to Day 169 in the Health Assessment Questionnaire Disability Index (HAQ-DI)BL, Day 169

The HAQ-DI includes 20 questions to assess physical functions in 8 domains: dressing, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip and common activities. The domain questions are evaluated on a 4-point scale: 0=without any difficulty, 1= with some difficulty, 2= with much difficulty, and 3= unable to do. HAQ-DI= sum of worst scores in each domain divided by the number of domains answered. HAQ-DI ranges from a minimum of 0 (no difficulty) to a maximum overall score of 3(unable to do).

Long-term Period: Number of Participants With Clinically Meaningful Improvement in DAS 28, Low Disease Activity, or Remission Over TimeBL, Days 365, 449, 533, 617, 729, 813

The DAS28 is a continuous disease measure which is a composite of 4 variables: the 28 tender joint count, the 28 swollen joint count, ESR or CRP, and participant assessment of disease activity measure on a visual analogue scale. The DAS28 has numeric thresholds that define high disease activity (\> 5.1), low disease activity (\< 3.2) and remission (\< 2.6). A clinically significant response= decrease in DAS28 score of \>1.2 from baseline.

Short-term Period: Mean Change From Baseline to Day 169 in SF-36 PCS, MCS, and SF-36 Individual Component ScoresBL, Day 169

The SF-36 is a validated instrument measuring health-related quality of life across multiple disease states. It has 36 questions with 8 subscale scores and 2 summary scores (1) physical component summary=physical functioning, role-physical, bodily pain, and general health; (2) mental component summary=vitality, social functioning, role-emotional, and mental health. There is no total overall score; scoring is done for both subscores and summary scores. For subscores and summary scores, 0 =worst score (or quality of life) and 100=best score. Change from Baseline= post-Baseline - Baseline value.

Long-term Period: Mean Time-matched Change From Baseline (Day 0) in VAS Over the Long TermBL (Day 0), Days 365, 449, 533, 617, 729, 813

The VAS for Fatigue (VAS-F) consists of a 100 mm line, with 0 (No Fatigue) on 1 end and 100 (Extreme Fatigue) on the other end, which a participant marks to indicate how much fatigue he or she feels. The marked point in mm is converted into a numeric value from 0 to 100, where 0=no fatigue and 100=maximum fatigue. Increasing numbers=increasing fatigue. Time-matched mean change from BL = Post-BL value - time-matched BL value, where the time-matched BL value represents the mean BL (Day 0) value for only that cohort of participants with data available at that post-BL visit.
