Summary

This Phase 3, randomized, open-label, multicenter study in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients with low disease activity (Disease Activity Score 28 \[DAS28\] \>2.8 and \<3.5) is being conducted to evaluate induction of remission by adding infliximab to pre-existing treatment versus no additional treatment. All subjects eligible for this study, aged \>35 to \<=65 years, will have a diagnosis of RA according to American College of Rheumatology (ACR) criteria, and will be offered additional treatment with infliximab. Prior to the start of treatment, subjects must be on a stable regimen of disease modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) for at least 3 months. Subjects will be randomized (1:1) to basic therapy with or without infliximab for a total duration of 38 weeks followed by a follow-up period of up to 6 months. Subjects randomized to basic therapy + infliximab will receive infliximab 3 mg/kg at Weeks 0, 2, 6, 14, 22, 30, and 38. The primary objective of the study is to assess the rate of remission according to DAS 28 (\<2.6) at the end of treatment (after 38 weeks). Safety assessments include the incidence of adverse events, serious adverse events, and clinically notable abnormal vital signs and laboratory values.
