• Target Recruitment: 228

Inclusion Criteria

•Participant is willing and able to give informed consent for participation in the study.
•Male or Female, aged 18 years or above.
•Part 1: Diagnosed with DD affecting the fingers resulting in flexion deformities of =30° at the metacarpophalangeal joint and or the proximal interphalangeal joint with impaired hand function and awaiting surgery.
or
Part 2: Patients with early disease nodules who also show progression of the disease in the previous 6 months with flexion deformities of their fingers of =30° at the metacarpophalangeal and/or at the proximal interphalangeal joint, i.e. total flexion deformity of up to 60°.
•The DD nodule to be treated must be distinct and identifiable.
•Female participants of child bearing potential, and male participants whose partner is of child bearing potential, must be willing to ensure that they or their partner use effective contraception throughout the treatment period and for 5 months following the last research injection. Acceptable methods of contraception include: a combination of male condom with either cap, diaphragm or sponge with spermicide (double barrier methods), injectables, the combined oral contraceptive pill (at a stable dose for at least 3 months before entering the study), an intrauterine device, vasectomised partner, or true sexual abstinence (when this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the participant).
•Participant results from safety screening tests within normal ranges within 12 weeks of enrolment, with the exception that an earlier clear CXR result may be used where this is in accordance with the time frames of local standard procedures for anti-TNF screening.
•Able (in the Investigators opinion) and willing to comply with all study requirements.
•Willing to allow his or her general practitioner to be notified of participation in the study.
•Sufficient language fluency to ensure informed consent is obtained and to complete the questionnaires pertaining to hand function.
