Specifically, these are: 1) a change in inclusion criterion 6 to allow the enrollment of patients who have been on methotrexate (>= 15 mg/week) for at least three months prior to screening, rather than six months prior to screening; 2) the addition of an inclusion criterion to allow the enrollment of patients who have had toxicity to methotrexate at a dose of >= 15 mg/week if they can be on a dose of 12. 5 mg/week; 3) the inclusion of patients receiving concomitant treatment with other disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (dmards); and 4) the inclusion of patients with 12 or more joints tender or painful on motion or pressure, rather than 16 such joints. |
