Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of ustekinumab and CNTO 1959 in reducing the signs and symptoms of disease in subjects with active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) despite concomitant methotrexate (MTX) therapy and to evaluate the safety of ustekinumab and CNTO 1959 in this population.;Secondary Objective: The secondary objectives are to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK), immunogenicity, and pharmacodynamics (PD) of ustekinumab and CNTO 1959 in subjects with active RA despite concomitant MTX therapy. ;Primary end point(s): The primary endpoint is proportion of subjects who achieve ACR 20 response at Week 28.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Week 28 | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): Primary secondary end points: 1. Change from baseline in DAS28 (using CRP) score at Week 28 2. ACR20 response at Week 12 3. Change from baseline in HAQ-DI score at Week 28 ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Week 12 and Week 28 | — |
