Brief summary

Short Term: The purpose of this clinical research study is to learn if abatacept (BMS-188667) in combination with methotrexate is better than methotrexate alone in participants that have active rheumatoid arthritis and are not responding to methotrexate. The safety of this treatment will also be studied. Long Term Extension: The purpose of this amendment is to provide participants who have completed the initial 12-month double-blind treatment period the opportunity to receive open label treatment with active drug treatment until abatacept is approved in the local country or until clinical development has been discontinued.

The scale reports from 1 to 10, with increasing number indicating increasing extent of disease progression. Scores for disease activity are defined as high (\>5.1); low (≤3.2); remission (\<2.6). Time-matched BL(Day 0) values and post-BL vales were presented for each post-BL visit and represent only that cohort of participants with measurements available at that post-BL assessment.
Number of Participants With Death, Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), Related SAEs, Discontinuation Due to SAEs, AEs, Related AEs, or Discontinued Due to AEs in the DB PeriodDay 1 to Day 365AE was defined as any new untoward medical occurrence or worsening of a pre-existing medical condition which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. SAE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose: results in death, is life-threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization or causes prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect, results in development of drug dependency or drug abuse, is an important medical event.
Mean DB BL and Mean Change From BL in Joint Space Narrowing (JSN) and Total Score (TS)BL (Day 0), Day 365To assess joint damage progression, the Genant-modified Sharp scoring method was used to evaluate radiographs of hands/wrists and feet for erosions and joint space narrowing (JSN). The total Genant-modified Sharp score ranges from 0 (no radiographic damage) to 290 (worst possible radiographic damage) and is the sum of the erosion score (range 0-145) and the joint space narrowing score (range 0-145). Higher scores indicated more damage. Change from baseline = Post-baseline - Baseline value.

Outcome results

Primary

Baseline and Mean Change From Baseline (BL) in Radiographic Erosion Score Results at Day 365

To assess joint damage progression, the Genant-modified Sharp scoring method was used to evaluate radiographs of hands/wrists and feet for erosions. The erosion score range is 0 (no radiographic damage) to 145 (worst possible radiographic damage). Change from baseline = Post-baseline - Baseline value

Time frame: BL (Day 0), Day 365

Population: All randomized and treated participants in the DB period with radiographic data available at baseline and Day 365. Due to the compliance issues of a single site, 9 participants in the abatacept group and 5 in the placebo group were not included in this analysis.

Number of American College of Rheumatology 20 (ACR 20) Responders at Day 169

ACR 20 response requires a patient to have a 20% reduction in the number of swollen and tender joints, and a reduction of 20% in three of the following five parameters: physician global assessment of disease, patient global assessment of disease, patient assessment of pain, C-reactive protein or erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and degree of disability in Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) score. A participant achieved a sustained ACR 20 response if the participant had ACR 20 observed for at least 2 consecutive study visits.

Time frame: Day 169

Population: Analyses of efficacy were based on the intent-to-treat population. Due to the non-compliance of a single site, 9 participants in the abatacept group and 5 in the placebo group were not included in this analysis.

Number of Participants Achieving Clinically Meaningful Improvement in Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) at Day 365

The HAQ-DI includes 20 questions to assess physical function in 8 domains: dressing, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip, and common activities. The domain questions are evaluated on a 4-point scale: 0=without any difficulty, 1=with some difficulty, 2=with much difficulty, 3=unable to do. HAQ-DI=sum of worst scores in each domain dividied by the number of domains answered. HAQ-DI ranges from 0 to a maximum overall score of 3.0. Clinically meaningful HAQ response was defined as an improvement of at least 0.3 units from baseline in HAQ DI.

ACR Core Component: Mean Participant Physical Function Assessment at All Post-BL Visits in the DB Period

The HAQ-DI includes 20 questions to assess physical function in 8 domains: dressing, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip, and common activities. The domain questions are evaluated on a 4-point scale: 0=without any difficulty, 1=with some difficulty, 2=with much difficulty, 3=unable to do. HAQ-DI=sum of worst scores in each domain dividied by the number of domains answered. HAQ-DI ranges from 0 to a maximum overall score of 3.0. Clinically meaningful HAQ response was defined as an improvement of at least 0.3 units from baseline in HAQ DI.

Adjusted Mean Change From BL in Individual Components of the HAQ DI at Day 169

The HAQ-DI includes 20 questions to assess physical function in 8 domains: dressing, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip, and common activities. The domain questions are evaluated on a 4-point scale: 0=without any difficulty, 1=with some difficulty, 2=with much difficulty, 3=unable to do. HAQ-DI=sum of worst scores in each domain dividied by the number of domains answered. HAQ-DI ranges from 0 to a maximum overall score of 3.0. Clinically meaningful HAQ response was defined as an improvement of at least 0.3 units from baseline in HAQ DI.

Time frame: Day 169

Population: Analyses of efficacy were based on the intent-to-treat population. Due to the non-compliance of a single site, 9 participants in the abatacept group and 5 in the placebo group were not included in this analysis. Last observation carried forward (LOCF) analysis.

Adjusted Mean Change From BL in the Physical Component Summary of Health-Related Quality of Life (SF-36) in the DB Period

The SF-36 covers 8 health dimensions including 4 physical subscales (physical function, role-physical, bodily pain, and general health) and 4 mental subscales (vitality, social function, role-emotional, and mental health). All subscales were scored using norm-based methods that standardized the scores to a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 10 in the general population. The scores range from a minimum of 0 to a maximum of 100, with a higher score indicating better quality of life. Improvements of \> 3 points were considered clinically meaningful.

Time frame: BL (Day 0), Day 169, Day 365

BL and Mean Change From BL in Radiographic Erosion, Joint Space Narrowing (JSN), and Total Scores (TS) in the OL Period

Change from baseline in the Genant-modified Sharp erosion score, JSN, TS were evaluated for all participants at the end of the OL period. The total Genant-modified Sharp score (TS) ranges from 0 (no radiographic damage) to 290 (worst possible radiographic damage) and is the sum of the erosion score (range 0-145) and the joint space narrowing score (range 0-145).Higher scores indicated more damage. Time-matched BL (Day 0) values and post-BL vales were presented for each post-BL visit and represent only that cohort of participants with measurements available at that post-BL assessment.

Time frame: BL (Day 0), Day 365, Day 729, Day 1,093, Day 1,457, Day 1,821

Change From BL in Joint Narrowing Score (JSN), Erosion Score (ES), and Total Score (TS) by Category in the DB Period

To assess joint damage progression, the Genant-modified Sharp scoring method was used to evaluate radiographs of hands/wrists and feet for erosions and joint space narrowing (JSN). The total Genant-modified Sharp score ranges from 0 (no radiographic damage) to 290 (worst possible radiographic damage) and is the sum of the erosion score (range 0-145) and the joint space narrowing score (range 0-145). Higher scores indicated more damage. Improvement=decreases from BL, stable=same as BL, worsening=increases from BL.

Mean BL and Disease Activity Score 28 (DAS-28; Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate [ESR]) at Day 169 and Day 365

The DAS 28 is an assessment of disease activity measured on a visual analog scale (VAS)of 100 mm. The scale reports from 1 to 10, with increasing number indicating increasing extent of disease progression. Scores for disease activity are defined as high (\>5.1); low (≤3.2); remission (\<2.6). Time-matched BL(Day 0) values and post-BL vales were presented for each post-BL visit and represent only that cohort of participants with measurements available at that post-BL assessment.

Time frame: BL (Day 0), Day 169, Day 365, Day 169, Day 365

Population: Analyses of efficacy were based on the intent-to-treat population. Due to the non-compliance of a single site, 9 participants in the abatacept group and 5 in the placebo group were not included in this analysis. Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF) analysis. N = participants analyzed and n = participants with measurements for that time point.

Mean BL Bodily Pain Component of the SF-36 by Visit in the OL Period

The SF-36 covers 8 health dimensions including 4 physical subscales (physical function, role-physical, bodily pain, and general health) and 4 mental subscales (vitality, social function, role-emotional, and mental health). The scores range from a minimum of 0 to a maximum of 100, with a higher score indicating better quality of life. Improvements of \> 3 points were considered clinically meaningful. Time-matched BL (Day 0) values and post-BL vales were presented for each post-BL visit and represent only that cohort of participants with measurements available at that post-BL assessment.

Mean BL General Health Component of the SF-36 by Visit in the OL Period

The SF-36 covers 8 health dimensions including 4 physical subscales (physical function, role-physical, bodily pain, and general health) and 4 mental subscales (vitality, social function, role-emotional, and mental health). The scores range from a minimum of 0 to a maximum of 100, with a higher score indicating better quality of life. Improvements of \> 3 points were considered clinically meaningful. Time-matched BL (Day 0) values and post-BL vales were presented for each post-BL visit and represent only that cohort of participants with measurements available at that post-BL assessment.

Time frame: BL (Day 0), Day 365, Day 449, Day 533, Day 617, Day 729, Day 813, Day 897, Day 981, Day 1,093, Day 1,177, Day 1,261, Day 1,345, Day 1,457, Day 1,625, Day 1,821, Day 1,989, Day 2,185

Mean BL HAQ-DI Score and HAQ-DI Individual Component Scores at BL (Day 0) for the Day 365 Cohort of Participants Continuing in the OL Period

The HAQ-DI includes 20 questions to assess physical function in 8 domains: dressing, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip, and common activities. The domain questions are evaluated on a 4-point scale: 0=without any difficulty, 1=with some difficulty, 2=with much difficulty, 3=unable to do. HAQ-DI=sum of worst scores in each domain dividied by the number of domains answered. HAQ-DI ranges from 0 to a maximum overall score of 3.0. Clinically meaningful HAQ response was defined as an improvement of at least 0.3 units from baseline in HAQ DI.

Time frame: BL (Day 0), Day 365

Population: All treated participants in the OL period (Treatment groups represent treatment received in the DB period). Due to the non-compliance of a single site, 3 participants were not included in this analysis. N = number of participants analyzed and n = the number of participants with measurements for that time point.

The HAQ-DI includes 20 questions to assess physical function in 8 domains: dressing, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip, and common activities. The domain questions are evaluated on a 4-point scale: 0=without any difficulty, 1=with some difficulty, 2=with much difficulty, 3=unable to do. HAQ-DI=sum of worst scores in each domain dividied by the number of domains answered. HAQ-DI ranges from 0 to a maximum overall score of 3.0. Clinically meaningful HAQ response was defined as an improvement of at least 0.3 units from baseline in HAQ DI.

Mean BL HAQ-DI Score and HAQ-DI Individual Component Scores at BL (Day 0) of the Day 813 Cohort of Participants Continuing in the OL Period

The HAQ-DI includes 20 questions to assess physical function in 8 domains: dressing, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip, and common activities. The domain questions are evaluated on a 4-point scale: 0=without any difficulty, 1=with some difficulty, 2=with much difficulty, 3=unable to do. HAQ-DI=sum of worst scores in each domain dividied by the number of domains answered. HAQ-DI ranges from 0 to a maximum overall score of 3.0. Clinically meaningful HAQ response was defined as an improvement of at least 0.3 units from baseline in HAQ DI.

Time frame: BL (Day 0), Day 813

Population: All treated participants in the OL period (Treatment groups represent treatment received in the DB period). Due to the non-compliance of a single site, 3 participants were not included in this analysis. N = number of participants analyzed and n = the number of participants with measurements for that time point.

Mean BL Limitations on Activities of Daily Living in the OL Period

Mean baseline values are reported for each cohort at each time point. Activity limitation was measured by the number of days in the past 30 days a participant was unable to perform usual activities due to RA. Time-matched BL (Day 0) values and post-BL vales were presented for each post-BL visit and represent only that cohort of participants with measurements available at that post-BL assessment.

Time frame: BL (Day 0), Day 365, Day 449, Day 533, Day 729, Day 813, Day 897, Day 981, Day 1,093, Day 1,177, Day 1,261, Day 1,345, Day 1,457

Population: All treated participants in the OL period (Treatment groups represent treatment received in the DB period). Due to the non-compliance of a single site, 3 participants were not included in this analysis. N = number of participants analyzed and n = the number of participants with measurements for that time point.

Mean BL Sleep Quality in the OL Period

Mean baseline values are reported for each cohort at each time point using the Medical Outcomes Study Sleep scale (MOS-sleep \[assesses the extent of sleep problems and measures six dimensions of sleep on a 12-item participant-reported measure\]). An overall Sleep Problems Index (SPI) was generated as a summary measure of different types of sleep problems (sleep disturbance, sleep quantity, sleep adequacy, etc.). The score ranges from 0 to 100, with 0 = no problems with sleep and 100 = the most severe problems with sleep. The mean score of the SPI in a population with chronic conditions is 29.

Time frame: BL (Day 0), Day 365, Day 449, Day 533, Day 617, Day 729, Day 813, Day 897, Day 981, Day 1,093, Day 1,177, Day 1,261, Day 1,345, Day 1,457, Day 1,625, Day 1,821, Day 1,989, Day 2,185

Population: All treated participants in the OL period (Treatment groups represent treatment received in the DB period). Due to the non-compliance of a single site, 3 participants were not included in this analysis. N = number of participants analyzed and n = the number of participants with measurements for that time point.

Mean Change From BL by Visit in the Bodily Pain Component of the SF-36 in the OL Period

The SF-36 covers 8 health dimensions including 4 physical subscales (physical function, role-physical, bodily pain, and general health) and 4 mental subscales (vitality, social function, role-emotional, and mental health). All subscales were scored using norm-based methods that standardized the scores to a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 10 in the general population. The scores range from a minimum of 0 to a maximum of 100, with a higher score indicating better quality of life. Improvements of \> 3 points were considered clinically meaningful.

Time frame: BL (Day 0), Day 365, Day 449, Day 533, Day 617, Day 729, Day 813, Day 897, Day 981, Day 1,093, Day 1,177, Day 1,261, Day 1,345, Day 1,457, Day 1,625, Day 1,821, Day 1,989, Day 2,185

Population: All treated participants in the OL period (Treatment groups represent treatment received in the DB period). Due to the non-compliance of a single site, 3 participants were not included in this analysis. N = number of participants analyzed and n = the number of participants with measurements for that time point.

Mean Change From BL by Visit in the Mental Health Component of the SF-36 in the OL Period

The SF-36 covers 8 health dimensions including 4 physical subscales (physical function, role-physical, bodily pain, and general health) and 4 mental subscales (vitality, social function, role-emotional, and mental health). All subscales were scored using norm-based methods that standardized the scores to a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 10 in the general population. The scores range from a minimum of 0 to a maximum of 100, with a higher score indicating better quality of life. Improvements of \> 3 points were considered clinically meaningful.

Time frame: BL (Day 0), Day 365, Day 449, Day 533, Day 617, Day 729, Day 813, Day 897, Day 981, Day 1,093, Day 1,177, Day 1,261, Day 1,345, Day 1,457, Day 1,625, Day 1,821, Day 1,989, Day 2,185

Population: All treated participants in the OL period (Treatment groups represent treatment received in the DB period). Due to the non-compliance of a single site, 3 participants were not included in this analysis. N = number of participants analyzed and n = the number of participants with measurements for that time point.

Mean Change From BL by Visit in the Role-Emotional Component of the SF-36 in the OL Period

The SF-36 covers 8 health dimensions including 4 physical subscales (physical function, role-physical, bodily pain, and general health) and 4 mental subscales (vitality, social function, role-emotional, and mental health). All subscales were scored using norm-based methods that standardized the scores to a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 10 in the general population. The scores range from a minimum of 0 to a maximum of 100, with a higher score indicating better quality of life. Improvements of \> 3 points were considered clinically meaningful.

Time frame: BL (Day 0), Day 365, Day 449, Day 533, Day 617, Day 729, Day 813, Day 897, Day 981, Day 1,093, Day 1,177, Day 1,261, Day 1,345, Day 1,457, Day 1,625, Day 1,821, Day 1,989, Day 2,185

Population: All treated participants in the OL period (Treatment groups represent treatment received in the DB period). Due to the non-compliance of a single site, 3 participants were not included in this analysis. N = number of participants analyzed and n = the number of participants with measurements for that time point.

Mean Change From BL by Visit in the Vitality Component of the SF-36 in the OL Period

The SF-36 covers 8 health dimensions including 4 physical subscales (physical function, role-physical, bodily pain, and general health) and 4 mental subscales (vitality, social function, role-emotional, and mental health). All subscales were scored using norm-based methods that standardized the scores to a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 10 in the general population. The scores range from a minimum of 0 to a maximum of 100, with a higher score indicating better quality of life. Improvements of \> 3 points were considered clinically meaningful.

Population: All treated participants in the OL period (Treatment groups represent treatment received in the DB period). Due to the non-compliance of a single site, 3 participants were not included in this analysis. N = number of participants analyzed and n = the number of participants with measurements for that time point.

Mean Change From BL in HAQ-DI Score and HAQ-DI Individual Component Scores at Day 1,457 for Participants Continuing in the OL Period

The HAQ-DI includes 20 questions to assess physical function in 8 domains: dressing, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip, and common activities. The domain questions are evaluated on a 4-point scale: 0=without any difficulty, 1=with some difficulty, 2=with much difficulty, 3=unable to do. HAQ-DI=sum of worst scores in each domain dividied by the number of domains answered. HAQ-DI ranges from 0 to a maximum overall score of 3.0. Clinically meaningful HAQ response was defined as an improvement of at least 0.3 units from baseline in HAQ DI.

Mean Change From BL in HAQ-DI Score and HAQ-DI Individual Component Scores at Day 365 for Participants Continuing in the OL Period

The HAQ-DI includes 20 questions to assess physical function in 8 domains: dressing, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip, and common activities. The domain questions are evaluated on a 4-point scale: 0=without any difficulty, 1=with some difficulty, 2=with much difficulty, 3=unable to do. HAQ-DI=sum of worst scores in each domain dividied by the number of domains answered. HAQ-DI ranges from 0 to a maximum overall score of 3.0. Clinically meaningful HAQ response was defined as an improvement of at least 0.3 units from baseline in HAQ DI.

Mean Change From BL in HAQ-DI Score and HAQ-DI Individual Component Scores at Day 813 for Participants Continuing in the OL Period

The HAQ-DI includes 20 questions to assess physical function in 8 domains: dressing, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip, and common activities. The domain questions are evaluated on a 4-point scale: 0=without any difficulty, 1=with some difficulty, 2=with much difficulty, 3=unable to do. HAQ-DI=sum of worst scores in each domain dividied by the number of domains answered. HAQ-DI ranges from 0 to a maximum overall score of 3.0. Clinically meaningful HAQ response was defined as an improvement of at least 0.3 units from baseline in HAQ DI.

Mean Change From BL in Sleep Quality in the OL Period

The mean change from baseline in sleep quality was assessed on the Medical Outcomes Study Sleep scale (MOS-sleep \[assesses the extent of sleep problems and measures six dimensions of sleep on a 12-item participant-reported measure\]). An overall Sleep Problems Index (SPI) was generated as a summary measure of different types of sleep problems (sleep disturbance, sleep quantity, sleep adequacy, etc.). The score ranges from 0 to 100, with 0 = no problems with sleep and 100 = the most severe problems with sleep. The mean score of the SPI in a population with chronic conditions is 29.

Mean DB BL and Mean Change From BL in Joint Space Narrowing (JSN) and Total Score (TS)

To assess joint damage progression, the Genant-modified Sharp scoring method was used to evaluate radiographs of hands/wrists and feet for erosions and joint space narrowing (JSN). The total Genant-modified Sharp score ranges from 0 (no radiographic damage) to 290 (worst possible radiographic damage) and is the sum of the erosion score (range 0-145) and the joint space narrowing score (range 0-145). Higher scores indicated more damage. Change from baseline = Post-baseline - Baseline value.

Time frame: BL (Day 0), Day 365

Population: All randomized and treated participants in the DB period with radiographic data available at baseline and Day 365. Due to the non-compliance of a single site, 9 participants in the abatacept group and 5 in the placebo group were not included in this analysis.

Mean DB BL Participant Physical Pain Assessment, Participant Global Assessment, and Physician Global Assessment

Participant physical pain assessment was determined at baseline on the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) of 0 mm to 100 mm where 0mm is no pain and 100mm is worst pain possible. The mean participant global assessment is a measure of overall disease burden and is a component of the ACR and evaluated using the VAS 100 mm. The physician global assessment is a measure of overall disease burden and is a component of the ACR and evaluated using the VAS 0mm to 100 mm with 0mm indicating no disease burden and 100mm indicating worse disease burden possible.

Mean DB BL Physical Component Summary of Health-Related Quality of Life (SF-36)

The SF-36 covers 8 health dimensions including 4 physical subscales (physical function, role-physical, bodily pain, and general health) and 4 mental subscales (vitality, social function, role-emotional, and mental health). The scores range from a minimum of 0 to a maximum of 100, with a higher score indicating better quality of life. Improvements of \> 3 points were considered clinically meaningful. Time-matched BL(Day 0) values and post-BL vales were presented for each post-BL visit and represent only that cohort of participants with measurements available at that post-BL assessment.

Time frame: BL (Day 0), Day 169, Day 365

Population: Analyses of efficacy were based on the intent-to-treat population.Due to the non-compliance of a single site, 9 participants in the abatacept group and 5 in the placebo group were not included in this analysis.

Number of ACR 70 Responders in the DB and OL Periods

ACR 70 response requires a patient to have a 70% reduction in the number of swollen and tender joints, and a reduction of 70% in three of the following five parameters: physician global assessment of disease, patient global assessment of disease, patient assessment of pain, CRP or ESR, and degree of disability in HAQ score. A participant achieved a sustained ACR 70 response if the participant had ACR 70 observed for at least 2 consecutive study visits.

Number of Participants Achieving HAQ Response Over Time for Participants Continuing in the OL Period

The HAQ-DI includes 20 questions to assess physical function in 8 domains: dressing, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip, and common activities. The domain questions are evaluated on a 4-point scale: 0=without any difficulty, 1=with some difficulty, 2=with much difficulty, 3=unable to do. HAQ-DI=sum of worst scores in each domain dividied by the number of domains answered. HAQ-DI ranges from 0 to a maximum overall score of 3.0. Clinically meaningful HAQ response was defined as an improvement of at least 0.3 units from baseline in HAQ DI.

Number of Participants Continuing in the OL Period With DAS-28 Remission or Low DAS-28 Activity Over Time

The DAS 28 is a continuous measure evaluating extent of disease activity in RA, and is a composite of 4 variables: the 28 tender joint count, the 28 swollen joint count, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and participant assessment of disease activity measure on a visual analog scale (VAS) of 100 mm. The scale reports from 1 to 10, with increasing number indicating increasing extent of disease progression. Scores for disease activity are defined as high (\> 5.1); low (≤ 3.2); remission (\< 2.6).

Participants Experiencing AEs of Special Interest in the DB Period

AEs were defined as any new untoward medical occurrence or worsening of a pre- existing medical condition which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. AEs were identified as those which may be associated with the use of immunomodulatory agents or infusion of therapeutic proteins. Acute infusional AEs were defined as those that occurred within 1 hour after the start of the infusion.

Time frame: Day 1 to Day 365

Population: All treated participants in the DB period.

Participants Experiencing Clinically Significant Changes in Vital Signs in the DB Period

All changes in participant vital signs were monitored on each day of study drug administration prior to dosing and 60 minutes after dosing. Vital signs included body temperature, heart rate, and seated blood pressure. Clinical significance was defined as any change from baseline that resulted in a value outside the normal limits for the participant.

Time frame: Day 1 to Day 365

Population: All randomized and treated participants.

Participants in the DB Period Achieving an Extended Major Clinical Response

An extended major clinical response (MCR) was defined as a continuous ACR 70 response over any nine month treatment period with study medications. ACR 70 response criteria requires a patient to have a 70% reduction in the number of swollen and tender joints, and a reduction of 70% in three of the following five parameters: physician global assessment of disease, patient global assessment of disease, patient assessment of pain, C-reactive protein or erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and degree of disability in HAQ score.

Time frame: Day 1 to Day 365

Population: Analyses of efficacy were based on the intent-to-treat population. Due to the non-compliance of a single site, 9 participants in the abatacept group and 5 in the placebo group were not included in this analysis.
