d.symmetrical joint swelling;
e.rheumatoid nodules;
f.serum rheumatoid factor positive;
g.radiographic erosions and/or periarticular osteopenia in hand and/or wrist joints.
6)The subject has active disease at both Screening and Baseline, as defined by both:
a.=6 joints tender or painful on motion, AND
b.=6 joints swollen;
and fulfills 1 of the following 2 criteria at Screening:
i.Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) (Westergren method) above the upper limit of normal in the local laboratory
ii.C reactive protein (CRP) >7 mg/L in the central laboratory
7)The subject meets ACR 1991 Revised Criteria for Global Functional Status in RA, Class I, II or III (Appendix 1).
8)Subjects receiving non prohibited concomitant medications for any reason must be on a stable regimen, which is defined as not starting a new drug or changing dosage within 7 days or 5 half lives (whichever is longer) prior to first study dose, or as defined in Concomitant Medications (Section 5.5).
9)Subjects must have failed an adequate study of therapy with at least 1 DMARD due to lack of efficacy or toxicity. See inclusion criteria 10 and exclusion criteria 1 and 12.
10)Subjects having received the following treatment regimens are eligible, provided the following discontinuation periods are observed. Note that none of these therapies should be discontinued by a subject to allow participation in this study if they are currently effective and tolerated.
a.Within 4 weeks of first dose of study drug:
DMARDS –
leflunomide (Arava® ) (see additional washout information for leflunomide in Appendix 10), methotrexate, sulfasalazine, and d penicillamine, minocycline; etanercept (Enbrel®); anakinra (Kineret®);
Immunosuppressive/Immunomodulatory therapies azathioprine, cyclosporine, and PROSORBA® device/column;
NSAIDs any experimental NSAIDs or experimental selective COX 2 inhibitors;
Other herbal medications, immunization with any live virus vaccination (eg, FluMist™) other than oral polio vaccine , intra articular, intramuscular, or intravenous corticosteroids;
b.Within 8 weeks of first dose:

1)Subjects who discontinued any previous TNFi therapy. Subjects who previously received adalimumab therapy are not allowed in the study.
2)Subjects with evidence of hematopoietic disorders:
a.Hemoglobin levels <9.0 gm/dL or hematocrit <30% at screening visit or within the 3 months prior to first study dose.
b.An absolute white blood cell (WBC) count of <3.0 x 109/L or absolute neutrophil count of <1.2 X 109/L at screening visit or within the 3 months prior to first study dose.
c.Thrombocytopenia at screening visit or within the 3 months prior to first study dose.
3)Estimated GFR =50 ml/min based on Cockcroft Gault calculation
4)Pregnant or lactating women.
5)Total bilirubin, AST or ALT more than 2 times the upper limit of normal at screening visit.
6)Current or recent history of severe, progressive, or uncontrolled renal, hepatic, hematological, gastrointestinal, metabolic, endocrine, pulmonary, cardiac, or neurological disease.
Note that for the purposes of this protocol New York Heart Association Class III and Class IV Congestive Heart failure will both be considered severe.
7)History of an infected joint prosthesis at any time, with the prosthesis still in situ.
8)Current routine household contact with individuals who have received either varicella or FluMist® (within 4 weeks) or oral polio vaccine (within 8 weeks), prior to first study dose.
9)History of any lymphoproliferative disorder, history of lymphoma, leukemia, myeloproliferative disorders, multiple myeloma, or signs and symptoms suggestive of current lymphatic disease.
10)Evidence of active or latent infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB), as defined by any of the following:
a.A subject has a positive Mantoux Purified Protein Derivative (PPD) skin test within the 3 months prior to screening, OR
b.A subject is immunoreactive for TB using an ex vivo method, OR
c.A subject has a chest radiograph (taken within the 3 months prior to screening) that has changes suggestive of active TB infection.
If a subject has a positive PPD or is immunoreactive for TB using an ex vivo method, (s)he may be eligible if (s)he has completed an appropriate treatment regimen for TB and has a chest radiograph within the 3 months prior to Screening that has no evidence of active TB. A subject who is currently being treated for TB infection can only be enrolled with prior approval by the Sponsor.
11)Subjects with clinically significant infections currently or within 6 months of first dose of study drug (eg, those requiring hospitalization or parenteral antimicrobial therapy or opportunistic infections), or those with a history of more than one episode of herpes simplex or zoster, a history of disseminated zoster, a history of any infection otherwise judged by the investigator to have the potential for exacerbation by participation in the study or any infection requiring antimicrobial therapy within 2 weeks of screening.
12)Any prior treatment with lymphocyte depleting agents/therapies (such as CamPath®[alemtuzab], alkylating agents [eg, cyclophosphamide or chlorambucil], total lymphoid irradiation, etc). Subjects who have received rituximab or other selective B lymphocyte depleting agents are eligible if they have not received such therapy for at least 1 year prior to first dose
13)Subjects with any condition possibly affecting oral drug absorption, gastrectomy, or clinically significant diabetic gastroenteropathy.
