Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of AIN457 when administered as a single dose (intravenous infusion) in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis in combination with a stable dose of methotrexate. And to compare efficacy on the dose groups.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Male and female patients with active rheumatoid arthritis in combination with a stable dose of methotrexate aged 18-75 years may participate in this trial.
* Post menopausal or surgically sterile female patients are allowed. Women of child-bearing potential may participate if they are on a stable dose of methotrexate and if they are practicing effective contraception for at least 6 months prior to screening, willing to use 2 forms of contraception, including at least 1 barrier method during the study and for at least 2 months following the completion/discontinuation of the study.
* Patients must have a diagnosis of active rheumatoid arthritis of stages I, II or III (ACR 1987 revised classification for criteria for RA). Disease duration of at least 6 months prior to randomization is essential;

Exclusion Criteria

* Current treatment with anti-TNF-α or anti IL-1 therapy (or other biological therapy).
* Patients with congestive heart failure or poorly controlled diabetes mellitus (HbA1c value ≥10%).
* Presence of any major chronic inflammatory autoimmune diseases like psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, spondyloarthropathy, inflammatory bowel disease or SLE that can mimic rheumatoid arthritis diagnosis or that can interfere with efficacy evaluation in the study.
