- Has used anakinra within 4 weeks of first study agent administration
- Has used any other biologic therapy for the treatment of RA within 3 months of the first study agent administration
- Has received intra-articular (IA), intramuscular (IM), or IV corticosteroids for RA, including adrenocorticotrophic hormone during the 4 weeks prior to first study agent administration
- Has received leflunomide within 24 months before the first study agent administration and has not undergone a drug elimination procedure, unless the M1 metabolite is measured and is undetectable
- Has a history of cyclophosphamide or cytotoxic agent use
- Has received cyclosporine A, azathioprine, tacrolimus, mycophenolate mofetil, oral or parenteral gold, or D-penicillamine within 4 weeks of the first study agent administration
- Has received an investigational drug (including investigational vaccines) or used an investigational medical device within 3 months or 5 half lives, whichever is longer, before the first study agent administration
