This trial is designed to determine what effects the human body has on the investigational medicine, ABP 710, and what effects the body has on the investigational medicine after you have been given it, and if this is comparable to what is seen for the licensed medicine, infliximab, in patients with moderate or severe rheumatoid arthritis (RA). This study will assess if the investigational medicine is safe and effective in treating moderate or severe RA compared to the licensed medicine.

6.Subject has taken MTX for = 12 consecutive weeks and is on a stable dose of oral or subcutaneous MTX 7.5 to 25 mg/week for = 8 weeks before receiving the investigational product and is willing to remain on a stable dose throughout the study.
7.For a subject on nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or low potency analgesics such as tramadol, Soma Compounds, Fioricet, or Fiorinal, the dose should be stable for = 2 weeks before screening.
8.For a subject on oral corticosteroids (= 10 mg prednisone or equivalent), the dose should be stable for = 4 weeks before screening.
9.Subject has no known history of active tuberculosis.
Subject must meet any 1 of the following 3 criteria
10.Subject has a negative test for tuberculosis during screening defined as either:
-negative purified protein derivative (PPD) defined as < 5 mm of induration at 48 to 72 hours after test is placed
OR
-negative Quantiferon test
11.Subject with a positive PPD and a history of Bacillus Calmette-Guérin vaccination is allowed with a negative Quantiferon test.
12.Subject with a positive PPD test (without a history of Bacillus Calmette-Guérin vaccination) or a subject with a positive or indeterminate Quantiferon test is allowed if they have all of the following:
-no symptoms of tuberculosis according to the worksheet provided by the sponsor, Amgen Inc.
-documented history of adequate prophylaxis initiation before receiving investigational product in accordance with local recommendations
-no known exposure to a case of active tuberculosis after most recent prophylaxis

1.Subject has a history of prosthetic or native joint infection.
2.Subject has an active infection or history of infections as follows:
-any active infection for which systemic anti-infectives were used within 28 days before first dose of investigational product
-a serious infection, defined as requiring hospitalization or intravenous (IV) anti-infective(s) within 8 weeks before the first dose of investigational product
-recurrent or chronic infections or other active infection that, in the opinion of the investigator, might cause this study to be detrimental to the subject
3.Subject has a positive blood test for human immunodeficiency virus.
4.Subject has a positive hepatitis B surface antigen, hepatitis B core antibody, or hepatitis C virus antibody result at screening.
5.Subject has uncontrolled, clinically significant systemic disease such as diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease including moderate or severe heart failure (New York Heart Association Class III/IV), renal disease, liver disease, or hypertension.
6.Subject had a malignancy within 5 years EXCEPT for treated and considered cured cutaneous squamous or basal cell carcinoma, in situ cervical cancer, OR in situ breast ductal carcinoma.
7.Subject has a history of neurologic symptoms suggestive of central or peripheral nervous system demyelinating disease.
8.Subject has a major chronic inflammatory disease or connective tissue disease other than RA, with the exception of secondary Sjögren’s syndrome.
9.Subject has a concurrent medical condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, could cause this study to be detrimental to the subject.
10.Subject has laboratory abnormalities at screening, including any of the following:
-hemoglobin < 9 g/dL
-platelet count < 100 000/mm3
-white blood cell count < 3000/mm3
