Patients taking more than one DMARD are allowed entry into the trial but these patients cannot be taking more than one immunosuppressive drug. Patients using leflunomide and another immunosuppressive may be considered for trial inclusion, however, leflunomide must be washed out with cholestyramine for 11 days. These patients may only be enrolled at least 30 days after the last dose of cholestyramine.5. Active RA defined as 8 tender joints of the 68 examined and 8 swollen joints of 66 examined, ESR greater than or equal to 28 mm/hour, OR CRP greater than or equal tp 10 mg/L, OR morning stiffness greater than or equal to 45minutes.6. ACR functional class I-III7. Male or female aged 18-75 years and generally in good health as determined by medical history, physical examination, vital signs, ECG and routine laboratory tests at screening8. Body weight < 120kg9. Able and willing to comply with the study protocol.10. Negative serum pregnancy test taken at screening in all women except those surgically sterile or are at least 2 years postmenopausal. 11. Sexually active women of child bearing potential must agree to use a medically reliable method of preventing conception for the duration of the study, unless surgically sterile or post menopausal. 12. Sexually active men whose partners are of childbearing potential must agree to use a medically reliable method of preventing conception for the duration of the study, unless surgically sterile.13. Have provided written informed consent to participate in the trial.14. DAS 28 > 3.2 at screening.

Key exclusion criteria
1. Stable dose of DMARD, including hydroxychloroquine, sulphasalazine or methotrexate for at least 3 months prior to screening. Patients taking more than one DMARD are allowed entry into the trial but these patients cannot be taking more than one immunosuppressive drug. Patients using leflunomide and another immunosuppressive may be considered for trial inclusion, however, leflunomide must be washed out with cholestyramine for 11 days. These patients may only be enrolled at least 30 days after the last dose of cholestyramine.2. Treatment with an investigational agent within 3 months prior to screening 3. Prior treatment with anti-TNF-alpha agents 4. Treatment with more than one NSAID within 4 weeks prior to screening.5. Dose of NSAID greater than the maximum recommended dose in the product information. 6. Current use of narcotic analgesics other than codeine at the screening visit. 7. Current use of more than 10 mg/day of prednisone or equivalent.8. Treatment with intra-articular corticosteroid injection within 3 weeks prior to screening.9.
