Placebo
Placebo matched to atacicept was administered subcutaneously twice a week for initial 4 weeks, followed by once a week for subsequent 21 weeks.
Atacicept 150 mg With Loading Dose
Atacicept was administered subcutaneously at a dose of 150 milligram (mg) twice a week for initial 4 weeks as loading dose, followed by 150 mg once a week for subsequent 21 weeks.
Atacicept 150 mg Without Loading Dose
Atacicept was administered subcutaneously at a dose of 150 mg once a week for 25 weeks. Participants also received placebo matched to atacicept subcutaneously once a week during initial 4 weeks for blinding purpose (placebo injections alternating with atacicept injections).
Adalimumab
Adalimumab (Humira®) was administered subcutaneously at a dose of 40 mg every other week for 25 weeks.

The EULAR response criteria evaluate change in DAS28 scores represented as "good response", "moderate response", or "no response" considering both the current DAS28 score and the observed improvement from baseline. Participants were considered to have "good" or "moderate" EULAR response if at the time of assessment, their DAS28 score was less than or equal to (\<=) 5.1 and the improvement from baseline in their DAS28 score was greater than (\>) 0.6; or if at the time of assessment, their DAS28 score was \>5.1 and improvement from baseline in their DAS28 score was \>1.2.
