Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Key Inclusion Criteria - Must be 18 years of age or older. Have a score of 6 or greater on the 2010 American College of Rheumatology/European League Against Rheumatism Classification Criteria for Rheumatoid Arthritis at and/or prior to Screening Visit. •Have =4 tender/painful joints on motion and =4 swollen joints (28 joint counts) at both Screening Visit and Baseline Visit (Visit 1). •Have moderate to severe disease activity as defined by CDAI>10 and DAS28-4(ESR) =3.2 at Baseline Visit. •Have taken an oral MTX treatment regimen (15-25mg/week) continuously for at least 4 months prior to the screening visit and has taken a stable weekly dose of oral MTX with supplemental folic acid or folinic acid for at least 4 weeks prior to the baseline visit (conversion from parenteral MTX to oral MTX will require stabilization of the treatment regimen for at least 1 month). •Male subjects able to father children and female subjects of childbearing potential and at risk for pregnancy must agree to use highly effective contraception throughout the study and for at least 6 months after the last dose of assigned treatment. •Subjects must screen negative for active tuberculosis or inadequately treated tuberculosis infection (active or latent).

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Key Exclusion Criteria •Pregnant female subjects; breastfeeding female subjects; male subjects with partners currently pregnant; male subjects able to father children and female subjects of childbearing potential who are unwilling or unable to use highly effective contraception as outlined in this protocol for the duration of the study and for at least 6 months after the last dose of investigational product. •Subjects with infection or infection history; subjects with any current malignancy or a history of malignancy (except adequately treated or excised non-metastatic basal cell or squamous cell cancer of the skin or cervical carcinoma in situ); subjects with history of, or current evidence for, severe gastrointestinal narrowing (pathologic or iatrogenic); and subjects with history of documented diverticulitis. •Subjects with a history of insufficient response to =2 biologics, regardless of the class. •Subjects screened in Belgium, Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Spain, and the United Kingdom who have resided or traveled in areas with endemic tuberculosis or endemic mycoses will be excluded.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To compare the efficacy of tofacitinib MR 11mg monotherapy to tofacitinib MR 11mg with continued MTX, as measured by the change in the Disease Activity Score utilizing 4 components including erythrocyte sedimentation rate (DAS28-4 (ESR)) from randomization (at Week 24) to the end of the double-blind MTX withdrawal phase (at Week 48).; Secondary Objective: •To compare the efficacy of tofacitinib MR 11mg monotherapy to tofacitinib MR 11mg with continued MTX in the double-blind MTX withdrawal phase (at Week 36), as measured by DAS28-4 (ESR). •To compare the efficacy of tofacitinib MR 11mg monotherapy to tofacitinib MR 11mg with continued MTX in the double-blind MTX withdrawal phase (at Weeks 48 and 36), as measured by Disease Activity Score 28-4 (C reactive protein) (DAS28-4 (CRP)), Clinical Disease Activity Index (CDAI), Simplified Disease Activity Index (SDAI), Low Disease Activity (LDA), remission, ACR20, ACR 50, and ACR 70. •To compare effects of tofacitinib MR 11mg monotherapy to tofacitinib MR 11mg with continued MTX on health outcome measures in the double-blind MTX withdrawal phase (at Weeks 48 and 36). •To evaluate the safety and tolerability of tofacitinib MR 11mg monotherapy versus tofacitinib MR 11mg with continued MTX. ;Primary end point(s): Change in DAS28-4 (ESR) score from randomization (at Week 24) to the end of doubleblind MTX withdrawal phase (at Week 48).;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: From week 24 to week 48

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): •Change in the DAS28-4(ESR) from Week 24 to Week 36; •Changes in the DAS28-4 (CRP), CDAI and SDAI, respectively, from Week 24 to Week 48 and from Week 24 to Week 36; •LDA as assessed by DAS28-4(ESR) =3.2, DAS28-4(CRP) =3.2, CDAI=10 and SDAI=11, respectively, at Weeks 48 and 36; •Remission as assessed by ACR-EULAR Boolean remission criteria,11 DAS28 4 (ESR)<2.6, DAS28 4 (CRP)<2.6, CDAI=2.8 and SDAI=3.3, respectively, at Weeks 48 and 36; •ACR20, ACR 50, and ACR70 responses, respectively, at Weeks 48 and 36; •Change in the HAQ-DI, the SF-36 (8 domain scores and 2 component scores), WPAI, EuroQol EQ-5D and the FACIT-Fatigue scale score, respectively, from Week 24 to Week 48 and from Week 24 to Week 36; •HAQ-DI response (ie, decrease of at least 0.22) at Weeks 48 and 36. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: From week 24 to week 48
