PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Week 24

Population: Full Analysis Set (FAS) Population The full set population will consist of all the subjects who were randomized and treated with the drug and received the primary efficacy evaluation at baseline. In the case of dosing administration error, analyses on the FAS population will be conducted according to the drug the subjects were randomized to.

Achieving ACR20 means 20% or greater improvement in the number of tender joints, a 20% or more improvement in the number of swollen joints and a 20% or greater improvement in at least three of the five remaining core set measures: Patient's and physician's global assessments, Patient's assessment of pain, disability index based on the Health Assessment Questionnaire and C-reactive Protein.
