Title: An Open-label Randomized Phase 1 Study to Investigate the Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Subcutaneous and Intravenous Administrations of Golimumab to Subjects With Rheumatoid Arthritis
Brief Summary: This is a Phase 1, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic study of intravenous and subcutaneous administered golimumab in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.


Options:
A: Inclusion criteria :

* Diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis ≥3 months duration
* Active disease defined as:

  * at least 8/68 tender joints and 6/66 swollen joints,
  * high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) \>6 mg/l,
  * continuous treatment with MTX for at least 12 weeks prior to baseline visit and on stable dose for at least 6 weeks prior to screening visit.

Part B only:

* Bone erosion based on documented X-ray prior to first study drug intake, or
* Cyclic Citrullinated Peptide (CCP) positive, or
* Rheumatoid Factor (RF) positive.

Exclusion criteria:

* Age \<18 years or \>75 years.
* Treatment with disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) other than MTX within 4 weeks or 12 weeks prior to screening (depending on DMARDs).
* Past history of non-response to prior Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) or biologic treatment.
* Any past or current biologic agents for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis within 3 months.
* Use of parenteral glucocorticoids or intraarticular glucocorticoids within 4 weeks prior to screening visit.
* Use of oral glucocorticoid greater than 10mg/day or equivalent/day, or a change in dosage within 4 weeks prior to baseline visit.

The above information is not intended to contain all considerations relevant to a participant's potential participation in a clinical trial.
B: Inclusion Criteria:

* Have no history of latent or active tuberculosis (TB) and test negative for TB

Exclusion Criteria:

* Have inflammatory diseases other than RA
* Have been treated with disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs)/systemic immunosuppressives other than methotrexate (MTX), sulfasalazine, or hydroxychloroquine during the 4 weeks prior to the first administration of study agent
* Have received intramuscular (IM), IV, or intra-articular corticosteroids within 4 weeks of study agent administration
* Have a known hypersensitivity to human Ig proteins
* Have received infliximab, golimumab, adalimumab or abatacept within 3 months, or etanercept or anakinra within 1 month prior to the first administration of study agent
* Have received alefacept, efalizumab, natalizumab, rituximab, or any B-cell-depleting agent
* Have been treated with any other biologics or investigational drugs, within 5 half-lives of that drug prior to the first administration of study agent
* Have a history of latent or active granulomatous infection, including tuberculosis (TB), histoplasmosis, or coccidioidomycosis, prior to screening
* Have had a Bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccination within 12 months of screening
* Have had a serious infection (eg, hepatitis, pneumonia, pyelonephritis, or sepsis)
C: Inclusion Criteria

* Rheumatoid arthritis based on the American College of Rheumatology criteria
* Methotrexate or leflunomide naïve
* Disease duration less than or equal to 2 years from diagnosis

Exclusion Criteria

* Previously received anti-TNF therapy anti-IL-6 receptor antibody, CTLA4-Ig, anti-CD20 antibody, cyclophosphamide, cyclosporine, azathioprine, or tacrolimus
* Joint surgery involving joints to be assessed within 8 weeks prior to Screening
D: Inclusion Criteria:

* adult patients at least 18 years of age with active RA for at least 3 months;
* 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 major surgery within 6 months after entering study;
* treatment with methotrexate (MTX) within 6 months of entering study;
* patients who have stopped previous MTX treatment due to toxicity or lack of response;
* women who are pregnant or breast-feeding.
