Brief Summary

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

To determine if early clinical response at 12 weeks to Certolizumab Pegol (CZP, Cimzia ®) therapy in adult Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) patients is a predictor of better long term clinical response at 18 months compared with a lack of clinical response at 12 weeks.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Clinical response will be assessed by the percentage of patients achieving a reduction from Baseline in Disease Activity Score 28-joint count (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate) \[DAS28(ESR)\] score of greater than 1.2 points, which is considered the minimum clinically important difference.
