*

Data shown is mean at week 24, difference in adjusted mean change from baseline compared with placebo + MTX at week 24 and 95% confidence interval for that difference.

Visual analog scale: 0 = best, 100 =worst.

Health Assessment Questionnaire: 0 = best, 3= worst; 20 questions; 8 categories: dressing and grooming, arising, eating, walking.
