Subject must have radiographic evidence of erosive hand OA with evidence of an "E" (erosive) or "E/R" (erosive with remodeling) joint as defined by Verbruggen and colleagues in at least one of the hand interphalangeal joints based on hand x-rays obtained during the Screening Period or within 3 months of the Screening Visit (a qualified central reader will perform the eligibility reading according to a pre-defined criterion). 4. Subject has one or more clinical signs and symptoms of active inflammation in at least three hand joints, with active inflammation defined as localized tenderness and/or soft tissue swelling at Screening and Day 1 Visit. 5. Subject Assessment of Hand Pain Intensity in at least one hand is >= 6 (11-point Numeric Rating Scale [NRS-11]) at Screening and Day 1 Visit. 6. Patient Global Assessment of Arthritis Status is >= 6 (NRS-11) at Screening and Day 1 Visit.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1. Previous exposure to any anti-IL-1 treatment including (and not limited to) anakinra, canakinumab and rilonacept OR one or more of the following: * Oral, intramuscular (IM), intravenous (IV), epidural or intra-articular corticosteroids within 1 month prior to Screening, * Intra-articular hyaluronic acid injection into hand joint(s) within 6 months prior to Screening, * Any investigational drug product of chemical or biologic nature within 1 month or 5 half-lives of the drug (whichever is longer) prior to the first dose of study drug, Any immunosuppressive biologic therapy including (and not limited to), etanercept, adalimumab, infliximab, golimumab, certolizumab, abatacept, tocilizumab, natalizumab, efalizumab, ustekinumab, belimumab or rituximab within 1 month or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) prior to the first dose of study drug, * Current use of immunosuppressive oral medications including (and not limited to) Tofacitinib, hydroxychloroquine, azathioprine, methotrexate, leflunomide, mycophenolate, sulfasalazine, gold, cyclophosphamide, penicillamine and/or tacrolimus, or tetracycline based agents within 3 months or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) prior to the first dose of study drug, * Colchicine within 1 month prior to the first dose of study drug, * Vaccination with a live viral agent (including live attenuated influenza vaccine via nasal spray) 470 msec in females or > 450 msec in males or PR interval > 220 msec. 6. Evidence of dysplasia or history of malignancy (including lymphoma and leukemia) within the past 5 years other than a successfully treated non-metastatic cutaneous squamous cell or basal cell carcinoma or localized carcinoma in situ of the cervix. 7. History of persistent chronic or active infection(s) requiring hospitalization or treatment with antimicrobials/antibiotics (intravenous, oral, or injection) within 1 month prior to the first dose of study drug. 8.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary efficacy measurement will be the change of pain from Baseline to 16 weeks as assessed by the AUSCAN NR3.1 pain subdomain score. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| * Change of total AUSCAN score and individual subdomain (pain, physical function and stiffness) scores from Baseline using the AUSCAN NR3.1. * Change of subject index hand resting pain from Baseline using NRS-11 score. * Change of patient global assessment of arthritis from Baseline using NRS-11 score. | — |
