Study Endpoints
Primary Endpoints
Change From Baseline in Disease Activity Score (DAS) 28 C-Reactive Protein (CRP) at Week 12 (Non-inferiority)
Baseline and Week 12

The Disease Activity Score (DAS) 28 is a composite index used to assess rheumatoid arthritis disease activity, calculated based on the tender joint count (out of 28 evaluated joints), swollen joint count (out of 28 evaluated joints), Patient's Global Assessment of Disease Activity (0-100 mm), and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP; in mg/L). Scores on the DAS28 range from 0 to approximately 10, where higher scores indicate more disease activity. A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement in disease activity.

Secondary Endpoints
Change From Baseline in Disease Activity Score (DAS) 28 C-Reactive Protein (CRP) at Week 12 (Superiority)
Baseline and Week 12
Percentage of Participants Achieving Clinical Remission (CR) Based on Disease Activity Score (DAS) 28 C-Reactive Protein (CRP) at Week 12 (Superiority)
