Golimumab in Rheumatoid Arthritis Participants With an Inadequate Response to Etanercept (ENBREL) or Adalimumab (HUMIRA)

Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of switching rheumatoid arthritis (RA) participants who have an inadequate response to their current treatment with either etanercept + methotrexate or adalimumab + methotrexate to treatment with golimumab 50 milligram (mg) subcutaneous (SC) injection (a needle inserted under the skin in the back of upper arm, upper thigh or stomach area) every 4 weeks + methotrexate. This study is also designed to evaluate the benefit and safety of switching participants from treatment with golimumab 50 mg subcutaneous injection every 4 weeks + methotrexate to golimumab 2 milligram per kilogram (mg/kg) intravenous every 8 weeks + methotrexate, for those who do not achieve a marked improvement of their RA at Week 16.
