Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) or Serious AEs (SAEs) Primary · Up to 12 months

An AE is any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. An AE is considered as an SAE if it fulfills one of the following criteria: a) fatal or life-threatening, b) requires in-patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, c) results in a persistent or significant disability, d) results in a congenital abnormality/birth defect, e) is medically significant. AEs included serious as well

Percentage of Participants Achieving a Clinically Meaningful Improvement in Disease Activity Score 28 (DAS28) (Reduction of At Least 1.2 Units) at Every Visit Secondary · Visit 3 (Week 4), Visit 4 (Week 8), Visit 5 (Week 12), Visit 6 (Week 16), Visit 7 (Week 20), Visit 8 (Week 24), Visit 9 (Week 28), Visit 10 (Week 32), Visit 11 (Week 36), Visit 12 (Week 40), Visit 13 (Week 44)

DAS28 was calculated from the tender joint count (TJC) of 28 joints, swollen joint count (SJC) of 28 joints, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) (in millimeters \[mm\]/hour), and the participant's global assessment of disease activity (100 mm visual analog scale \[VAS\]: 0 mm=no disease activity to 100 mm=maximum disease activity). The formula for calculating DAS28 score using ESR value is: 0.56\*square root (√) of TJC + 0.28\*√(SJC) + 0.70\*log natural (ESR) + 0.014\*global assessment of disease activity (100 mm VAS). The DAS28 scale ranges from 0 to 10, where higher scores represent higher

Time Required to Achieve Clinically Meaningful Improvement in DAS28 (Reduction of At Least 1.2 Units) Secondary · Up to 12 months

DAS28 was calculated from the TJC of 28 joints, SJC of 28 joints, ESR (in mm/hour), and the participant's global assessment of disease activity (100 mm VAS: 0 mm=no disease activity to 100 mm=maximum disease activity). The formula for calculating DAS28 score using ESR value is: 0.56\*√(TJC) + 0.28\*√(SJC) + 0.70\*log natural (ESR) + 0.014\*global assessment of disease activity (100 mm VAS). The DAS28 scale ranges from 0 to 10, where higher scores represent higher disease activity. A reduction of at least 1.2 units of DAS28 score from previous visit is considered as clinically meaningful improv

The DAS28 scale ranges from 0 to 10, where higher scores represent higher disease activity. Low Disease Activity is defined as DAS28 value of \<3.2 Units at the time of assessment.

The participant's global assessment of disease activity is assessed on a 0 to 100 mm horizontal VAS by the participant. The left-hand extreme of the line equals 0 mm, and is described as "no disease activity" (symptom-free and no arthritis symptoms) and the right-hand extreme equals 100 mm, and is described as "maximum disease activity" (maximum arthritis disease activity). A negative change from baseline indicated improvement.
