NCT00938587

Brief Summary

This study will investigate the safety and efficacy of an investigational drug, PF-04171327 on the signs and symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis in patients that require glucocorticoids while on background methotrexate. This study will also look at the response of chemical and biological markers in rheumatoid arthritis patients. Lastly, this study will measure the PK (amount of drug in the blood) of methotrexate while patients may be taking PF-04171327.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change From Baseline in Disease Activity Score Based on 28-Joints Count and C-Reactive Protein (4 Variables) (DAS28-4 [CRP]) at Day 14

    DAS28-4 (CRP) examines progression or improvement of RA. It was assessed from swollen joint count (SJC) and tender joint count (TJC) using the 28 joints count, CRP (normal range of CRP is less than (\<) 10 milligram per liter \[mg/L\], decrease in the level of CRP indicates reduction in inflammation) and participant global assessment (PGA) of disease activity (participant global assessment of diseases condition scores ranging from 0 \[very well condition\] to 100 \[very poor condition\], higher scores indicated greater affectation due to disease activity). Total DAS28-4 (CRP) transformed score range: 0 (least severe) to 10 (most severe), higher scores indicate more severe disease activity. DAS28-4 (CRP) scores: less than equal to (\<=) 3.2 implied low disease activity; greater than (\>) 3.2 to 5.1 implied moderate to high disease activity.
