CZP 200 mg Q2W

Subjects received Certolizumab Pegol (CZP) 400 mg subcutaneous (sc) on Weeks 0, 2 and 4, followed by 200 mg CZP sc every 2 weeks (Q2W) from Week 6 onwards.

At every visit, subjects received one injection of 200 mg CZP and one injection of Placebo to maintain the study blind.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

CZP 200 mg Q2W

Intervention Type BIOLOGICAL

200 mg subcutaneous (sc) injection of Certolizumab Pegol (CZP) every 2 weeks (Q2W).

Placebo

Intervention Type OTHER

Matching Placebo to CZP injection.

CZP 400 mg Q4W

Subjects received Certolizumab Pegol (CZP) 400 mg subcutaneous (sc) on Weeks 0, 2 and 4, followed by 400 mg CZP sc every 4 weeks (Q4W) from Week 8 onwards.

Subjects received 2 injections of Placebo every 4 weeks in between the 2 injections of 200 mg CZP to maintain the study blind.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

CZP 400 mg Q4W

Intervention Type BIOLOGICAL

400 mg subcutaneous (sc) injection of Certolizumab Pegol (CZP) every 4 weeks (Q4W).

Placebo

Intervention Type OTHER

Matching Placebo to CZP injection.

Placebo

Matching Placebo to Certolizumab Pegol (CZP) injections from Week 0 to Week 24. Placebo subjects who did not achieve certain predefined response criteria at both Weeks 14 and 16 left the Placebo group and were re-randomized to either CZP 200 mg Q2W or CZP 400 mg Q4W arm on Week 16.

After 24 weeks, all subjects were re-randomized to active treatment with CZP 200 mg every two weeks (Q2W) or CZP 400 mg every four weeks (Q4W).
