- Initial Period: Area Under American College of Rheumatology (ACR) n Curve [ Time Frame: Not applicable as no data were collected for this endpoint. ]No data were collected for this endpoint because it was removed from the protocol in a previous amendment.
- Initial Period: Disease Activity Score (DAS)28 (C-reactive Protein [CRP]) and DAS28 (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate [ESR]) [ Time Frame: Every visit until study completion ]
Descriptive statistics for DAS28-3 (CRP) and DAS28-4 (ESR). The stated number of participants analyzed was the total number of participants in each group. The actual number of participants analyzed on each occasion varied, and is provided for each visit presented.
DAS28 is a composite score, calculated using a mathematical formula, and is derived from the number of tender/painful joints (out of 28), number of swollen joints (out of 28), and a blood marker of inflammation (ESR or CRP). DAS28-4 also includes a score of general health in the formula.
The score range is from 0 to 9.4, with a higher score indicating more disease activity. A score of >5.1 indicates active disease, a score of ≤3.2 indicates low disease activity, and a score of <2.6 indicates disease remission.

DAS28-4 also include score of general health (GH). GH is general health or participants' global assessment of disease activity on 100 mm visual analog scale (GH score: 0 mm [very well] to 100 mm [extremely bad], higher scores = worse health condition). DAS28-3(CRP) = (0.56*sqrt[TJC28] + 0.28*sqrt[SJC28] + 0.36*ln[CRP+1]) *1.10 + 1.15) and DAS28-4(ESR) = (0.56*sqrt[TJC28] + 0.28*sqrt[SJC28] + 0.70*ln[ESR] + 0.014*GH), where sqrt = square root, ln = natural logarithm. DAS28-4 ESR and DAS28-3 CRP: score ranges from 0 (none) to 9.4 (extreme disease activity), with a higher score indicating more disease activity.

DAS28 is a composite score, calculated using a mathematical formula, and is derived from the number of tender/painful joints (out of 28), number of swollen joints (out of 28), and a blood marker of inflammation (ESR or CRP). DAS28-4 also includes a score of general health in the formula.
The score range is from 0 to 9.4, with a higher score indicating more disease activity. A score of >5.1 indicates active disease, a score of ≤3.2 indicates low disease activity, and a score of <2.6 indicates disease remission.
- Extension Period: Percentage of Participants With DAS28-4 (ESR) and DAS28-3 (CRP) Less Than (<) 2.6 and Less Than or (<=) 3.2 [ Time Frame: Baseline (Day 1 at the entry of Extension period); Month 3, 6, 9 and 12 of Extension Period ]DAS28 is composite score, calculated using mathematical formula, derived from: 1) tender/painful joints count, out of 28 joints (TJC28), 2) swollen joints count, out of 28 joints (SJC28), 3) blood marker of inflammation (ESR [millimeter per hour] or CRP [milligram per liter]). DAS28-4 also include score of GH. GH is general health or participants' global assessment of disease activity on 100 mm visual analog scale (GH score: 0 mm [very well] to 100 mm [extremely bad], higher scores = worse health condition). DAS28-3(CRP) = (0.56*sqrt[TJC28] + 0.28*sqrt[SJC28] + 0.36*ln[CRP+1]) *1.10 + 1.15) and DAS28-4(ESR) = (0.56*sqrt[TJC28] + 0.28*sqrt[SJC28] + 0.70*ln[ESR] + 0.014*GH), where sqrt = square root, ln = natural logarithm. DAS28-4 ESR and DAS28-3 CRP: score range is from 0 (none) to 9.4 (extreme disease activity), with a higher score indicating more disease activity. Score of <=3.2 indicate low disease activity and score of <2.6 indicate disease remission.
- Initial Period: Health Assessment Questionnaire - Disability Index (HAQ-DI) Score [ Time Frame: Every visit until study completion ]Change from baseline by visit. HAQ-DI scores range from 0 to 3, where lower score implies less disease. A reduction from baseline in score indicates an improvement in condition. A clinically meaningful decrease from baseline is defined as a decrease of at least 0.22 units. The stated number of participants analyzed was the total number of participants in each group. The actual number of participants analyzed on each occasion varied, and is provided for each visit presented.

Each activity category consisted of 2-3 questionnaire. Each questionnaire was scored on a 4-point scale from 0 to 3: 0=no difficulty; 1=some difficulty; 2=much difficulty; 3=unable to do. Any activity that required assistance from another individual or required the use of an assistive device was adjusted to a score of 2 to represent a more limited functional status. Overall score was computed as the sum of total scores divided by the number of questionnaire answered. Total possible HAQ-DI score range: 0 (least difficulty) and 3 (extreme difficulty), where higher scores indicate more difficulty while performing daily living activities.
- Initial Period: Short-Form-36 Health Survey (SF-36) Score [ Time Frame: Every visit until study completion ]Change from Baseline for Physical Component and Mental Component Scores by visit. SF-36 is a health status measure of 8 general health domains, each scored on a 0 to 100 scale: physical functioning, role physical, bodily pain, general health, vitality, social functioning, role emotional, and mental health. These domains can be summarized as physical and mental component scores. The domain scores were "normed" and the resulting component scores treated as Z-scores with a scale of negative to positive infinity. A higher score implies less disease. The greater the change from baseline, the greater the improvement. The stated number of participants analyzed was the total number of participants in each group. The actual number of participants analyzed on each occasion varied, and is provided for each visit presented.
- Initial Period: FACIT Fatigue Scale, EuroQol EQ 5D, Work Limitations Questionnaire, and RA Healthcare Resource Utilization Questionnaire (RA-HCRU) [ Time Frame: Every visit until study completion ]

The stated number of participants analyzed was the total number of participants in each group. The actual number of participants analyzed on each occasion varied, and is provided for each visit presented.
- Initial Period: Preservation of Joint Structure in Participants Who Had Baseline Radiographs Obtained in Their Qualifying Index Study [ Time Frame: Every 6 months until study completion ]
Modified Total Sharp Score per visit. Baseline score was the last available assessment from the index study. The Modified Total Sharp Score measures disease progression; increased scores indicate disease progression. Score range 0 (normal) to 448 (worst possible total score). The stated number of participants analyzed was the total number of participants in each group. The actual number of participants analyzed on each occasion varied, and is provided for each visit presented.
