    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Percentage of Participants Achieving American College of Rheumatology (ACR) 20, 50 and 70 Responses at Week 52 [Week 52]

      ACR response is a composite rating scale that includes 7 variables: tender joints count (TJC [68 joints]); swollen joints count (SJC [66 joints]); levels of an acute phase reactant (high sensitivity C-reactive protein [hs-CRP level]); participant's assessment of pain (measured on 0 [no pain]-100 mm [worst pain] visual analog scale [VAS]); participant's global assessment of disease activity (measured on 0 [no arthritis activity]-100 mm [maximal arthritis activity] VAS); physician's global assessment of disease activity (measured on 0 [no arthritis activity]-100 mm [maximal arthritis activity] VAS); participant's assessment of physical function (measured by Health Assessment Question-Disability Index [HAQ-DI], with scoring range of 0 [better health] - 3 [worst health]). ACR20/50/70 response is defined as at least 20/50/70% improvement in both TJC and SJC, and at least 20/50/70% improvement in at least 3 of the 5 other assessments, respectively.

    2. Change From Baseline at Week 52 in Disease Activity Score for 28 Joints Based on C-Reactive Protein (DAS28-CRP) [Baseline, Week 52]

      DAS28-CRP is a composite score that contains 4 variables: TJC (based on 28 joints), SJC (based on 28 joints), participant's assessment of general health on VAS (range 0 [very well] to 100 mm [extremely bad]) and CRP (mg/L). DAS28-CRP total score ranges from 2-10 with a lower score indicating less disease activity. A DAS28-CRP above 5.1 indicates high disease activity, whereas below 3.2 indicates low disease activity and below 2.6 as disease remission.

    3. Change From Baseline in Health Assessment Questionnaire-Disability Index (HAQ-DI) Score at Week 52 [Baseline, Week 52]

      HAQ-DI assessed the degree of difficulty participants experienced in 8 daily living activity domains during a week: dressing/grooming, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip, and other activities. Each activity category consisted of 2-3 items. Each items's difficulty was scored from 0-3 (0=no difficulty, 1=some difficulty, 2=much difficulty, 3=unable to do). Overall HAQ-DI score was computed as the sum of domain scores divided by the number of domains answered, providing a score from 0-3. Low scores denoted improvement of disability/lower degree of domain difficulty.

    Description ACR response is a composite rating scale that includes 7 variables: tender joints count (TJC [68 joints]); swollen joints count (SJC [66 joints]); levels of an acute phase reactant (high sensitivity C-reactive protein [hs-CRP level]); participant's assessment of pain (measured on 0 [no pain]-100 mm [worst pain] visual analog scale [VAS]); participant's global assessment of disease activity (measured on 0 [no arthritis activity]-100 mm [maximal arthritis activity] VAS); physician's global assessment of disease activity (measured on 0 [no arthritis activity]-100 mm [maximal arthritis activity] VAS); participant's assessment of physical function (measured by Health Assessment Question-Disability Index [HAQ-DI], with scoring range of 0 [better health] - 3 [worst health]). ACR20/50/70 response is defined as at least 20/50/70% improvement in both TJC and SJC, and at least 20/50/70% improvement in at least 3 of the 5 other assessments, respectively.

    Description DAS28-CRP is a composite score that contains 4 variables: TJC (based on 28 joints), SJC (based on 28 joints), participant's assessment of general health on VAS (range 0 [very well] to 100 mm [extremely bad]) and CRP (mg/L). DAS28-CRP total score ranges from 2-10 with a lower score indicating less disease activity. A DAS28-CRP above 5.1 indicates high disease activity, whereas below 3.2 indicates low disease activity and below 2.6 as disease remission.

    Title Change From Baseline in Health Assessment Questionnaire-Disability Index (HAQ-DI) Score at Week 52
    Description HAQ-DI assessed the degree of difficulty participants experienced in 8 daily living activity domains during a week: dressing/grooming, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip, and other activities. Each activity category consisted of 2-3 items. Each items's difficulty was scored from 0-3 (0=no difficulty, 1=some difficulty, 2=much difficulty, 3=unable to do). Overall HAQ-DI score was computed as the sum of domain scores divided by the number of domains answered, providing a score from 0-3. Low scores denoted improvement of disability/lower degree of domain difficulty.

    Adverse Events

    Time Frame All AEs were collected from signature of the informed consent form until the end of the study (Week 58) regardless of seriousness or relationship to IMP.
    Adverse Event Reporting Description Reported AEs are treatment-emergent AEs that developed/worsened during the 'on treatment period' (from the first IMP administration up to the 6 week after last IMP administration [up to Week 58]).
