at least 3 months

- Prior failure (inefficacy or intolerance) of therapy with disease-modifying
antirheumatic drugs; if patient had prior failure of methotrexate, he or she must
have been taking at least 15 mg per week for at least 2 months

- If recent failure(inefficacy or intolerance) of a tumor necrosis factor α-blockade
compound, participant must be washed out prior to first dose: 56 days for infliximab
and 28 days for etanercept and adalimumab

- Disease activity as defined by a tender joint count of ≥3, swollen joint count of ≥3,
and clinically detectable synovitis at screening and Day 01 (prior to infusion)

- Active psoriasis with a qualifying target lesion ≥2 cm in diameter

- Able to undergo magnetic resonance imaging

- Use of appropriate birth control by women of child bearing potential (WOCBP)

Key Exclusion Criteria:

- WOCBP who are unwilling or unable to use an acceptable method to avoid pregnancy for
the entire study period and for up to 10 weeks after the last dose of investigational
product

- Receipt of any live vaccines within 3 months of the anticipated first dose of study
medication or anticipation of the need for a live vaccine at any time during and for
3 months after the duration of the study

Long-term period participants: Must have met eligibility criteria for short-term period
and completed short-term (24-week) period of the study

Type of Study:

Interventional

Study Design:

Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Investigator), Primary Purpose: Treatment

Outcome Measure:

Long-term Period: Number of Participants With Death As Outcome, Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), Drug-related SAEs, SAEs Leading to Discontinuation, Adverse Events (AEs), Drug-related AEs, AEs Leading to Discontinuation, and AEs of Interest

Outcome Description:

Presp=prespecified; acute= ≤1 hour after start of infusion; periinfusional= ≤24 hours after start of infusion. AE=any new unfavorable symptom or disease or worsening of a preexisting condition that may not have a causal relationship with treatment. SAE=an unfavorable medical event that at any dose results in death, significant disability, drug dependency/abuse, hospitalization or prolonged hospitalization; is life-threatening, an important medical event, or a congenital anomaly/birth defect. Drug-related=possibly, probably, or certainly related and of unknown relationship to study drug.

Outcome Time Frame:
