A Study To Evaluate The Safety And Efficacy Of Tofacitinib Modified Release Tablets Compared To Tofacitinib Immediate Release Tablets In Adult Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis

Summary

This is a 12 week study that will evaluate the efficacy and safety of the 11 mg tofacitinib modified release tablet taken once a day in patients with rheumatoid arthritis who continue taking methotrexate.
