Study Endpoints
Primary Endpoints
Cohorts 1 and 2: Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)
From first dose of study drug to 24 weeks

Adverse event (AE): any untoward medical occurrence, which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. Serious AE (SAE): AE that: results in death; is immediately life-threatening; requires in-patient hospitalization/prolongation of existing hospitalization; results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity; results in a congenital abnormality/birth defect; is an important medical event. TEAEs: AEs not present before exposure to study drug or any event already present that worsens in either intensity or frequency after exposure to study drug during treatment period. AE severity: mild (Grade \[Gr\] 1); moderate (Gr 2); severe (Gr 3); potentially life threatening (Gr 4); death (Gr 5). AEs of special interest: thrombosis, serious infection, serious and non-serious bacterial infections, eye disorders, and anaphylaxis/hypersensitivity reactions.

Cohorts 1 and 2: Maximum Serum Concentration (Cmax)
Days 1 (Dose 1) and 57 (Dose 4)
Cohorts 1 and 2: Area Under the Serum Concentration-time Curve From Time of Administration to the End of the Dosing Interval, (AUCtau)
Days 1 (Dose 1) and 57 (Dose 4)
Cohort 3 and 4: Change From Baseline in Disease Activity Score of 28 Joints Using C-reactive Protein (DAS28-CRP) at Week 12
Baseline, Week 12

DAS28 is a measure based on assessment of 28 joints for tenderness and swelling (tender and swollen joint counts). DAS28-CRP is derived using differential weighting given to 4 components: tender joint count (range: 0-28), swollen joint count (range: 0-28), patient global assessment (recorded on a visual analog scale \[VAS\] scale of 0-100 mm), and CRP (milligram per liter). DAS28-CRP score ranges from 0 to 9.4. The lower the DAS28-CRP score is, the better the participant has response (remission = score \< 2.6, low disease activity = score \< 3.2). A negative value in change from BL indicates an improvement.
