研究概览

简要总结

The purpose of this study is to compare the immunogenicity and safety of proposed abatacept biosimilar (DRL_AB) with Orencia® administered by the SC route as an add-on to MTX in the treatment of patients with moderate to severe RA. The study duration will be up to 60 weeks including 4 weeks screening period. The drug administration will be up to Week 52 followed by EOS at Week 56 (4 weeks after the last dose).
