Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether baricitinib therapy alone is noninferior to methotrexate (MTX) therapy alone in the treatment of moderate to severe active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in those who have had limited or no treatment with MTX and are naive to other conventional or biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs).
