Brief Summary

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

This study will evaluate immune response following administration of zoster vaccine in subjects with rheumatoid arthritis who are receiving background methotrexate and initiate 5 mg twice daily of tofacitinib or placebo for tofacitinib 2 to 3 weeks following vaccination.
