Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of ABT-122 in subjects with Rheumatoid Arthritis.
Detailed description
This is a phase 1, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multiple ascending dose study. Twenty-four subjects with Rheumatoid Arthritis will be selected to participate. Subjects will be randomized to receive either ABT-122 or placebo. ABT-122 or placebo will be administered as subcutaneous (under the skin) injections in three dosing groups.
