Title: Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Dose Ranging Study With an Active Comparator to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of CDP6038 Administered Subcutaneously for 12 Weeks to Subjects With Rheumatoid Arthritis Having Previously Failed TNF-blocker Therapy
Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, efficacy, pharmacokinetics, and immunogenicity of CDP6038 treatment in adult subjects with active rheumatoid arthritis who have had an inadequate response to anti-tumor necrosis factor (anti-TNF) therapy.


Options:
A: Inclusion Criteria:

* Disease activity as defined by a Disease Activity Score 28-C-Reactive Protein (CRP) \>3.2 or \>6 swollen and ≥6 tender joints and CRP greater than the upper limit of normal
* At least 1 erosion in hands/wrists or positive anticyclic citrullinated peptides or rheumatoid factor
* Clinically detectable synovitis of at least 1 wrist/ankle at screening and baseline
* Participants must have been treated with methotrexate, on a weekly dose of at least 15 mg or a maximum tolerated dose (such as, 10 mg weekly) for at least 3 months before screening. Dose of methotrexate must be stable for at least 28 days prior to the first study dose (Day 1)
B: Inclusion Criteria:

* Have a diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis (according to the 1987 ACR classification criteria OR a score of ≥6 as defined by the ACR/European League Against Rheumatism Classification and Diagnostic Criteria for rheumatoid arthritis ) for at least 6 months prior to screening
* Must have been treated with MTX 12.5-25 mg/week, for at least 6 weeks prior to screening. Doses of 10 to \< 12.5mg/week are allowed if there is documented intolerance
* Have moderately to severely active rheumatoid arthritis disease with at least 6 tender and 6 swollen joints
* CRP ≥1.2 times the upper limit of normal (central laboratory) or erythrocyte sedimentation rate of more than 28mm/hour
* Intolerant or inadequate response to treatment (ie, TNF blocker failure)≥1 licensed TNF-blocker therapies within 2 years of screening

Exclusion Criteria:

* Have a diagnosis of any other inflammatory arthritis or secondary, noninflammatory type of arthritis, such as psoriatic arthritis, lupus, gout, or ankylosing spondylitis
* Wheelchair bound or bedridden.
* Disease modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) other than MTX.
* Treatment with tocilizumab or any other anti-IL-6 investigational therapies at any time.
* Treatment with other biologics within 4-24 weeks (depending on the biologic)
* History of ongoing, chronic or recurrent infections or recent serious or life-threatening infection
* Known concurrent acute or chronic viral hepatitis B or C infection or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection.
* Vaccinations (other than injectable influenza or pneumococcal) within 8 weeks prior to screening or plan to receive vaccines during the study
* Concurrent or history of malignancy with the exception of nonmelanoma skin cancer successfully treated more than 2 years prior to screening or cervical cancer successfully treated more than 5 years prior to screening.
* History of chronic alcohol abuse or drug addiction within the last 1 year or current drug addiction or use of illicit drugs.
C: Inclusion Criteria:

* The subject has a history of inadequate response to at least 1, but no more than 4, of the following DMARDs: sulfasalazine, injectable gold, methotrexate, leflunomide, cyclosporine, or a thiopurine derivative (azathioprine or 6-mercaptopurine)

Exclusion Criteria:

* Current Therapy With Any DMARD Or Biologic
D: Inclusion Criteria:

* Have a diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) (according to the revised 1987 criteria of the ACR) for at least 3 months prior to first administration of study agent
* Are methotrexate (MTX)-naïve (ie, have not received more than 3 weekly doses of MTX for RA at any time)
* Have active RA as defined by persistent disease activity with at least 4 swollen and 4 tender joints, at the time of screening and baseline, and at least 2 of the following 4 criteria: a) C-reactive protein (CRP) \>=1.5 mg/dL at screening or erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) by Westergren method of \>= 28 mm in the first hour at screening or baseline, b)Morning stiffness of \>= 30 minutes at screening and baseline, c)Bone erosion by x-ray and/or MRI prior to first administration of study agent, d)Anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (anti-CCP) antibody-positive or rheumatoid factor (RF) positive at screening
* If using oral corticosteroids, must be on a stable dose equivalent to \<= 10 mg of prednisone/day for at least 2 weeks prior to first administration of study agent.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Can not have inflammatory diseases other than RA that might confound the evaluation of the benefit of golimumab therapy
* No treatment with disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs)/systemic immunosuppressives during the 4 weeks prior to the first administration of study agent
* No prior treatment with biologic anti-TNF drugs (infliximab, etanercept, adalimumab)
* No history of, or ongoing, chronic or recurrent infectious disease
* No serious infection within 2 months prior to first administration of study agent.
