Diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), according to the American College of Rheumatology/The European League Against Rheumatism (ACR/EULAR) 2010 Rheumatoid Arthritis Classification Criteria with >=3 months disease duration.

Moderately to severely active RA defined as:

• At least 4 of 68 tender joints and 4 of 66 swollen joints at screening visit.

• High sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hs-CRP) >=4 mg/L or Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) >=28 mm/hr at screening visit.
