3 Patient is permitted to enter the extension study if, in the opinion of their general practitioner or the investigator, the patient will continue to gain benefit from treatment in the extension study. Local guidelines for patient treatment will be followed.
4 Patient (or legal guardians, if applicable) is informed of the full nature and purpose of the study, including possible risks and side effects, and given ample time and opportunity to read and understand this information, and has signed and dated the written informed consent before inclusion in the extension study.
5 Both male and female patients and their partners of childbearing potential must agree to use 2 medically accepted methods of contraception (eg, barrier contraceptives [male condom, female condom, or diaphragm with a spermicidal gel], hormonal contraceptives [implants, injectables, combination oral contraceptives, transdermal patches, or contraceptive rings], and intrauterine devices) during the course of the study and for 6 months following discontinuation of study treatment (excluding women who are not of childbearing potential and men who have been sterilized).

8 Patient who, at the time of providing informed consent, is taking, is planning to take, or is required to take during the course of this study any of the following concomitant medications:
• Corticosteroids, except oral glucocorticoids, of maximum equivalent daily dose of 10 mg of prednisolone. (Patients are permitted to receive low-potency topical, otic, and ophthalmic glucocorticoid preparations provided the preparations are administered per the instructions on the product label.)
• Disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs, other than methotrexate, including hydroxychloroquine, chloroquine, sulfasalazine, or leflunomide.
• Alkylating agents
• Live or live-attenuated vaccines
• Any biological agents for the treatment of RA except CT-P13 or Remicade
9. Patient who had any of the following: Infection requiring oral antibiotics within 2 weeks prior to the time of providing informed consent; parenteral injection of antibiotics within 4 weeks before the time of providing informed consent; other serious infection in the 6 months before the time of providing informed consent; or history of recurrent herpes zoster or any other chronic or recurrent infection |
