An Efficacy and Safety Study of Golimumab in Patients With Active Rheumatoid Arthritis Despite Methotrexate Therapy

Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of golimumab, alone or in combination with methotrexate (MTX), as compared to methotrexate alone in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients who have active rheumatoid arthritis despite treatment with MTX.
