| Main Objective: To evaluate the impact of ETN + MTX in comparison with usual treatment on radiographic disease progression at 52 weeks in subjects with moderate RA who failed treatment with MTX.;Secondary Objective: To compare the effects of ETN + MTX and usual treatment on clinical outcomes. To compare the effects of ETN + MTX and usual treatment on health-related quality of life and dimensions of impact of disease on subjects over 52 weeks. To evaluate the safety of the treatment regimen over 52 weeks.;Primary end point(s): The primary endpoint for this study is the change from randomization in modified TSS at 52 weeks. | — |
