Title: A Randomized, Open-Label Study in the Asia-Pacific Region Comparing the Safety and Efficacy of Etanercept With Usual DMARD Therapy in Subjects With Rheumatoid Arthritis
Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of etanercept with usual disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug (DMARD) therapy in the treatment of moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis (RA) over 16 weeks in the Asia Pacific region.


Options:
A: Inclusion Criteria:

* adult patients at least 18 years of age with moderate to severe active RA for at least 6 months;
* inadequate response to a stable dose of MTX;
* patients of reproductive potential must be using reliable methods of contraception.

Exclusion Criteria:

* major surgery (including joint surgery) within 8 weeks before entering study, or planned surgery within 6 months after entering study;
* prior treatment failure with an anti-tumor necrosis factor agent;
* women who are pregnant or breast-feeding.
B: Inclusion Criteria:

* Male or female ≥18 and ≤80 years of age at time of screening
* Diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis as determined by meeting 1987 American College of Rheumatology (ACR) classification criteria and has had rheumatoid arthritis for at least 6 months
* Moderate rheumatoid arthritis during screening, as defined by a disease activity score (28 joint) calculated using the C-reactive protein formula (DAS28-CRP) \> 3.2 and ≤ 5.1
* Active rheumatoid arthritis defined as ≥ 3 swollen joints (out of 28 joints examined) and ≥ 3 tender/painful joints (out of 28 joints examined) at screening and baseline. (A full 66/68 count joint count will be performed at baseline, but only joints in the 28-count joint count will be considered for eligibility. The 28-joint count consists of the finger joints excluding the distal interphalangeal joints, the wrists, elbows, shoulders, and knees)
* Must be currently taking a DMARD such as methotrexate, sulfasalazine, leflunomide, minocycline, and/or hydroxychloroquine

Exclusion Criteria:

* Prosthetic joint infection within 5 years of screening or native joint infection within 1 year of screening
* Class IV rheumatoid arthritis according to ACR revised response criteria
* Any active infection (including chronic or localized infections) for which anti-infectives were indicated within 28 days prior to first investigational product dose
* Previously used more than one experimental biologic DMARD. Patient with prior use of no more than one experimental biologic is permitted if the subject received no more than 8 weeks of treatment. The use of the experimental biologic must not have occurred within 2 months of the first dose of investigational product
* Previously used more than one commercially available biologic DMARD. Subject with prior use of no more than one commercially available biologic is permitted if the patient received no more than 8 weeks of treatment and did not discontinue because of lack of effect. The use of the biologic must not have occurred within 2 months of the first dose of investigational product. Acceptable prior use of biologics include the following examples:
* No more than 4 injections of adalimumab
* No more than 8 (50 mg) injections of etanercept
* No more than 2 infusions of infliximab
* No more than 2 infusions of abatacept
* Additional inclusion (exclusion) criteria may apply
C: Inclusion Criteria:

* Diagnosis of RA
* Currently receiving an adequate dose of methotrexate (MTX) for treatment of RA
* Active RA at time of screening and baseline

Exclusion Criteria:

* Previous or current treatment with etanercept (ETN), other tumor necrosis factor-alpha inhibitors, or other biologic agents
* Concurrent treatment with a DMARD, other than MTX, at screening
* Receipt of any DMARD, other than MTX, within 3 months before screening
D: Inclusion Criteria:

* Diagnosis of Rheumatoid Arthritis
* At least 3 months prior treatment with Methotrexate (MTX)
* At least 10 swollen joints and 12 tender joints and C-Reactive Protein of at least 1 mg/dl
* Washout required for other disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDS)

Exclusion Criteria:

* participants who have failed more than 3 DMARDs
* participants previously treated with an approved biologic drug
* History of cancer in the last 5 years
* Severe or recurrent bacterial infection
* Any previous or current medical conditions that are contraindications to the use of TNF blocking agents
* Women of Child Bearing Potential
