Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of maintenance treatment with 3mg/kg, 6mg/kg or 10mg/kg of TA-650 in combination with methotrexate (MTX) after three infusions (weeks-0, 2, 6) of 3mg/kg in Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) showing an insufficient response to MTX.
