1.Male or surgically sterile or postmenopausal female with history of amenorrhea = 52 weeks aged 18 years or older at the time of signing the ICF (or older as required by local regulation or ethics committees).
2.All male subjects who are biologically capable of having children must agree and commit to the use of a reliable method of birth control for the duration of the study and for 12 weeks after the last dose of test article. A subject is still biologically capable of having children if he is using contraceptives or if his sexual partner is sterile or using contraceptives.
3.Meets the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) 1987 revised criteria for classification of RA for at least 6 months prior to screening.
4.ACR functional class I through III.
5.Active RA at the time of screening and baseline consisting of = 5 swollen and = 5 tender joints (28-joint count) and at least 1 of the following:
a.C-reactive protein (CRP) = 10 mg /L.
b.Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) (as measured by the Westergren method) = 28 mm/h.
6.Must be receiving methotrexate for at least 12 weeks, with stable route and dose (up to 25 mg weekly) for at least 8 weeks prior to the baseline visit.
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
F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) yes
F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range
1.Any major illness/condition or evidence of unstable clinical condition (eg, cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, neurologic, metabolic, immunologic, infectious, hepatic, or renal condition; uncontrolled diabetes mellitus; or hypertension) or any serious disorder (eg, current or history of alcohol or drug abuse, current or history of psychiatric disease) that, in the investigator’s judgment, will substantially increase the risk associated with the subject’s participation in and completion of the study, or could preclude the evaluation of the subject’s response, or interfere with the subject’s ability to give informed consent.
2.Pregnant or breastfeeding women or women of child-bearing potential. Women of child-bearing potential are defined as women who are biologically capable of becoming pregnant, including women who are using contraceptives or whose sexual partners are either sterile or using contraceptives. A urine pregnancy test must be performed during the screening visit for all women.
3.Subjects with other rheumatic diseases, including but not limited to Lyme disease, psoriatic arthritis, spondyloarthropathy, systemic lupus erythematosus, systemic vasculitis, polymyositis, infectious or reactive arthritis, overlap syndrome, or Reiter syndrome.
4.Cancer or history of cancer (other than adequately treated cutaneous basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma of the skin or in situ cervical cancer, with no evidence of recurrence).
5.Contraindications for treatment with methotrexate.
6.Positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibodies, hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), and/or hepatitis C antibodies (HCV).
7.History of drug-induced liver injury, liver cirrhosis, or fibrosis at any time before the baseline visit.
8.Laboratory abnormalities at screening including the following:
a.Hemoglobin < 8.5 g/dL (SI units: < 85 g/L)
b.White blood cell (WBC) count < 3.50 x 103/mm3 (SI units: < 3.50 x 109/L)
c.Platelets < 125,000/mm3 or = 1,000,000/mm3 (SI units: < 125 x 109/L or = 1,000 x 109/L)
d.Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) or alanine aminotransferase (ALT) > 1.5 x the upper limit of normal (ULN)
e.Serum creatinine > 2 mg/dL (SI units: > 177 µmol/L)
9.Other clinically significant laboratory, electrocardiogram (ECG), or vital sign abnormalities at screening.
10.Active tuberculosis, history of tuberculosis, or evidence of latent tuberculosis. A tuberculosis test, interpreted by the investigator according to local standards or country specific-guidelines, must be performed during the screening visit for subjects with no documentation of tuberculosis test results available within 4 weeks before the baseline visit.
11.Clinically significant finding on chest radiograph within 3 months before the baseline visit. A chest X ray must be obtained during the screening visit for subjects with no documentation of chest X ray results available within 3 months before baseline.
12.Known or suspected allergy or intolerance to any components of test article (refer to the investigator’s brochure), or other compounds related to these classes of medication.
13.Known hypersensitivity reaction to medicine, including biopharmaceutical proteins.
14.Any prior use of B cell-depleting therapy.
15.Receipt within 24 weeks before the baseline visit:
•any investigational biological drugs
•any cytotoxic agents, including cyclophosphamide (cytoxan), or chlorambucil
•intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG)
• Prosorba column (extracorporeal i
