- Health Assessment Questionnaire-Disability Index (HAQ-DI) [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24/ET ]HAQ-DI: participant-reported assessment of ability to perform tasks in 8 categories of daily living activities: dress/groom; arise; eat; walk; reach; grip; hygiene; and common activities over past week. Each item scored on 4-point scale from 0 to 3: 0=no difficulty; 1=some difficulty; 2=much difficulty; 3=unable to do. Overall score was computed as the sum of domain scores and divided by the number of domains answered. Total possible score range 0-3 where 0 = least difficulty and 3 = extreme difficulty.

Each item scored on 4-point scale from 0 to 3: 0=no difficulty; 1=some difficulty; 2=much difficulty; 3=unable to do. Overall score was computed as the sum of domain scores and divided by the number of domains answered. Change = scores at observation minus score at Baseline, and total possible score ranged from -3 to 3. A negative value in change from baseline indicates an improvement.
- C-Reactive Protein (CRP) [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24/ET ]The test for CRP is a laboratory measurement for evaluation of an acute phase reactant of inflammation through the use of an ultrasensitive assay. Normal range of CRP is 0 milligram per deciliter (mg/dL) to 10 mg/dL. A decrease in the level of CRP indicates reduction in inflammation and therefore improvement.

Total score range: 0 to 9.4, higher score indicated more disease activity. DAS28-3 (CRP) less than or equal to (<=) 3.2 implied low disease activity and more than (>) 3.2 to 5.1 implied moderate to high disease activity, and DAS28-3 (CRP) less than (<) 2.6 = remission.
- Change From Baseline in Disease Activity Score Based on 28-Joints Count and C-Reactive Protein (3 Variables) (DAS28-3 [CRP]) at Week 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24/ET [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24/ET ]DAS28-3 (CRP) was calculated from the SJC and TJC using the 28 joints count and CRP (mg/L). Total score range: 0 to 9.4, higher score indicated more disease activity. DAS28-3 (CRP) <= 3.2 implied low disease activity and >3.2 to 5.1 implied moderate to high disease activity, and DAS28-3 (CRP) <2.6 = remission.
- Percentage of Participants With Categorization of Disease Improvement Based on DAS28-3 (CRP) [ Time Frame: Week 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24/ET ]Disease improvement was classified as good, moderate, and none based on improvement in DAS 28-3 (CRP) from baseline and present DAS 28-3 (CRP) score. Good: an improvement from baseline of >1.2 and a present score of <=3.2; none: an improvement of <=0.6 or >0.6 to <=1.2 with a present score of >5.1; remaining participants were classified as having moderate (Mod) improvement.

- Euro Quality of Life-5 Dimentions (EQ-5D) - Health State Profile Utility Score [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 12, 24/ET ]EQ-5D: participant rated questionnaire to assess health-related quality of life in terms of a single utility score. Health State Profile component assesses level of current health for 5 domains: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain and discomfort, and anxiety and depression; 1 indicates better health state (no problems); 3 indicates worst health state (confined to bed). Scoring formula developed by EuroQoL Group assigns a utility value for each domain in the profile. Score is transformed and results in a total score range -0.594 to 1.000; higher score indicates a better health state.

- Medical Outcome Study- Sleep Scale (MOS-SS) [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 2, 12, 24/ET ]Participant-rated questionnaire to assess key constructs of sleep over the past week. Consists of a 12-item based on 7 subscales: sleep disturbance (SD), snoring (Sno), awakened short of breath (ASOB) or with headache, sleep adequacy (Ade), and somnolence (Som) (range:0-100); sleep quantity (Qua)(range:0-24), and optimal (Opt) sleep (yes: 1, no: 0)and nine item index measures of sleep disturbance were constructed to provide composite scores: sleep problem summary (SPS) and overall sleep problems (OSP). Except sleep adequacy, optimal sleep and quantity, higher scores=greater impairment. Scores are transformed (actual raw score minus lowest possible score divided by possible raw score range* 100); total score range: 0 to 100; higher score = greater intensity of attribute.

Except sleep adequacy, optimal sleep and quantity, higher scores=greater impairment. Scores are transformed (actual raw score minus lowest possible score divided by possible raw score range*100); total score range: 0 to 100; higher score = greater intensity of attribute.
- Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy (FACIT)-Fatigue Scale [ Time Frame: Baseline, Week 2, 12, 24/ET ]FACIT-Fatigue scale (FS) is a 13-item questionnaire. Participant scored each item on a 5-point scale: 0 (Not at all) to 4 (Very much). The larger the participant's response to the questions (with the exception of 2 negatively stated), the greater the fatigue. For all questions, except for the 2 negatively stated ones, the code was reversed and a new score was calculated as 4 minus the participant's response. The sum of all responses resulted in the FACIT-FS score for a total possible score of 0 (worse score) to 52 (better score). A higher score reflected an improvement in the participant's health status.
