Title: A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Trial of Golimumab, an Anti-TNFalpha Monoclonal Antibody, Administered Intravenously, in Patients With Active Rheumatoid Arthritis Despite Methotrexate Therapy
Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to evaluate clinical effectiveness and safety of golimumab with methotrexate (MTX) in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) when compared to MTX alone.
