What was measured

American College of Rheumatology (ACR) 20 response is defined as \>= 20% improvement (reduction) in score compared with baseline for both tender joint count (TJC)-68 joints and swollen joint count (SJC)-66 joints, as well as for 3 of the additional 5 ACR core set variables: Patient's Assessment of Pain over the previous 24 hours using a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) ranging from score 0 (no pain) to 100 (unbearable pain); Patient's Global Assessment of Disease Activity and Physician's Global Assessment of Disease Activity over the previous 24 hours using a VAS ranging score 0 (no disease activity) to 100 (maximum disease activity); Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ):8 domains (dressing/grooming, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip; common daily activities) rated on a 4-point scale (0=without any difficulty to 3=unable to do) for a total possible score of 0 (best) to 3 (worst); and acute-phase reactant, either C-reactive protein (CRP) or erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR).

Analysis population: Intent to treat (ITT) population included all randomized participants who received any part of an infusion of study drug. Participants whom treatment allocation was unblinded and who received treatment prior to randomization were excluded.

Groups in this outcome

Placebo Plus Methotrexate

Eligible participants were administered placebo by intravenous infusion on Days 1 and 15 along with MTX 10-25 mg p.o. or parenterally once a week up to 24 weeks and were followed up to Week 104.

Rituximab Plus Methotrexate

Eligible Participants were administered rituximab 1000 mg as intravenous infusion on Days 1 and 15 along with MTX 10-25 mg p.o. or parenterally once a week up to Week 24 and were followed up to Week 104.
