Eligibility |
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Male or female subjects aged 18 years or older at the time of consent 2. Able to give informed consent 3. Patients diagnosed as having established and active rheumatoid arthritis classified according to the 2010 American College of Rheumatology/European League against Rheumatism (ACR/EULAR) criteria (Aletaha D et al 2010) for a period of = 3 months counting from the first DMARD treatment initiated. Active rheumatoid arthritis is characterised as all of the following: - =6 tender joint out of the 68 joint count - =6 swollen joints out of the 66 joint count - ESR = 20mm/h or CRP =7mg/l 4. Has a been found to be intolerant to, or had an inadequate clinical response to at least 1 DMARD 5. Is currently being treated with DMARDs for = 12 weeks and has reached a stable dose for = 4 weeks. 6. Is currently receiving a corticosteroid (e.g. prednisolone or equivalent) and has reached a stable dose of = 10mg/d for = 4 weeks (patients without current corticosteroid treatment for = 4 weeks may also be included. 7. Available for the whole duration of the study. 8. Female subjects of childbearing potential must use maximally effective birth control during the period of therapy, must be willing to use contraception for the duration of the study (starting from randomisation and ending up to Week 24 at Day 168/Safety follow-up visit). Must have a negative pregnancy test upon entry into the study. Otherwise, female subjects must be postmenopausal (no menstrual period for a minimum of 12 months) or surgically sterile. 9. Male subjects must be surgically sterile or willing to use a double barrier contraception method upon enrolment, for the duration of the study (starting from randomisation and ending up to Week 24 at Day 168/Safety follow-up visit). Exclusion Criteria: 1. Pregnant or breastfeeding women or such with a child-bearing potential who are unwilling or unable to use an acceptable method of contraception to avoid pregnancy for the entire study period (up to Week 24 at Day 168/Safety follow-up visit) 2. Subjects with a history of cancer in the last 5 years, or with a current screening suspicious for cancer, other than non-melanoma skin cell cancers cured by local resection or carcinoma in situ 3. Subjects with evidence of untreated, active or latent bacterial (e.g. tuberculosis) or viral infections (e.g. Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), Hepatitis B or C) at the time of potential enrolment 4. Subjects with any serious bacterial infection within the last 3 months, unless treated and resolved with antibiotics, or any untreated, chronic bacterial infection 5. Having participated in another drug or an interventional study within 30 days preceding the present study screening 6. Any previous treatment with CZP 7. Any previous treatment with a biological DMARD |

Primary | To assess the percentage of study participants achieving American College of Rheumatology 50% (ACR50) clinical response by the Week 24 assessments | Efficacy rates as measured by the percentage of study participants achieving American College of Rheumatology 50% (ACR50) clinical response by the Week 24 | 24 weeks | |
Secondary | To compare the efficacy rates of CZP between the two treatment groups following 8, 12, 18 and 24 weeks of treatment | Efficacy rates as measured by ACR20/50/70 at weeks 8, 12, 18 and 24 weeks to determine the % of treatment responders in each study Group over the study period. | 8, 12, 18 and 24 weeks | |
Secondary | To compare the proportion of patients reaching either a low disease activity status (LDAS) or a full remission of their RA across both treatment groups at weeks 8, 12, 18 and 24 | Efficacy rates as measured by patients achieving Low DAS is defined (LDAS) or a full clinical remission according to the EULAR at weeks 8, 12, 18 and 24 weeks. LDAS as a DAS-28 score of less than 3.2. The DAS-28 is defined by the number of tender and swollen joints calculated from 28 joints mainly from the upper limbs, the ESR and the patient's global assessment of disease activity. Remission will be defined as a DAS-28 score of less than 2.6 and/or according to the Boolean definition of remission (Felson 2011): swollen joint count, tender joint count, patients' global assessment of disease activity, CRP (mg/dl) all =1* |
weeks 8, 12, 18 and 24 | |
Secondary | To compare the relative time taken for patients to reach remission across the two treatment groups | Efficacy rates as measured by the average number of weeks of treatment required for patients to reach remission of their RA. Clinical remission to be evaluated via the EULAR and DAS-remission criteria | weeks 8, 12, 18 and 24 | |
Secondary | To compare the cumulative corticosteroid dose for patients across the two study treatment groups following 24 weeks of treatment | Efficacy as calculated of the cumulative corticosteroid dose for patients completing the 24 week study period across the two treatment groupsCalculation of the cumulative corticosteroid dose for patients completing the 24 week study period across the two treatment groups | 24 weeks | |
Secondary | To compare the safety and tolerability of CZP between the two treatment groups following 8, 12, 18 and 24 weeks of treatment | Safety as calculated by the occurrence of treatment emergent adverse event (TEAE, adverse events occurring after baseline of the study) across the two treatment groups | 8, 12, 18 and 24 weeks | |
Secondary | To conduct pharmacokinetic analysis to compare the CZP serum levels following 24 weeks of treatment across both of the treatment groups | Efficacy analysis as analysed by a pharmacokinetic assessments are to be conducted at Visit 3/week 4 (day 28) and visit 7/Week 24 (Day 168 post initiation of CZP treatment) | 24 weeks | |
Secondary | To compare the development of anti-CZP antibodies following 24 weeks of treatment across both of the treatment groups | Efficacy analysis as analysed two single timepoint anti-CZP antibody assessments are to be conducted at Visit 2/Week 0 and Visit 7/Week 24 (Day 168 post initiation of CZP treatment) | 24 weeks |
