Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (8)
Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
Adverse event (AE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received IMP and did not necessary have to had a causal relationship with treatment. All AEs that occurred from the first dose of the IMP administration up to 6 weeks after last dose of treatment (up to Week 58) were considered as TEAEs. SAEs were AEs resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly or a medically important event. TEAEs included both SAEs and non-SAEs.

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), according to the American College of Rheumatology/The European League Against Rheumatism (ACR/EULAR) 2010 Rheumatoid Arthritis Classification Criteria with \>=3 months disease duration.
- Moderately to severely active RA defined as:
- At least 4 of 68 tender joints and 4 of 66 swollen joints at screening visit.
- High sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hs-CRP) \>=4 mg/L or Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) \>=28 mm/hr at screening visit.
- For the combination stratum:
- Participants who had continuous treatment with non-biologic DMARDs other than MTX for at least 12 weeks prior to the randomization and on a stable dose for a minimum of 6 weeks prior to screening.
- For the monotherapy stratum:
- Participants who per investigator judgment were any of inappropriate, intolerant or inadequate to MTX treatment.
You may not qualify if:
- Participants \<20 years of age. Prior treatment with tumor necrosis factor (TNF) antagonists or any other RA-directed biologic agents without the appropriate off-drug period prior to screening.
- Prior treatment with anti-interleukin-6 (anti-IL-6) or anti-interleukin-6 receptor (IL-6R) antagonist therapies, including but not limited to tocilizumab or sarilumab.
- The above information was not intended to contain all considerations relevant to a participant's potential participation in a clinical trial.
