Study Summary

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Signed and dated informed consent, prior to any study related procedures

  • Male and female patients aged 18-70 years at the screening visit

  • Use of an appropriate method of contraception

  • A diagnosis of adult onset rheumatoid arthritis of at least 6 months duration asdefined by the 1987 ACR classification criteria - ACR functional class I, II or III

  • Treatment with methotrexate for at least 3 months and stable dose 10mg - 25mg / weekfor ≥ 8 weeks prior to the baseline visit

  • Availability of clear chest X-ray (i.e. no evidence of TB, chest infection or cardiacfailure). Patients who are clinically asymptomatic with minor changes consistent withrheumatoid lung are acceptable.

  • Stable mild or inactive rheumatoid arthritis where in the opinion of the investigatorit is unlikely that a change in the patient's therapeutic regimen would be requiredduring the subsequent 3 months.

  • DAS28 ≤ 4.8 for at least 3 months prior to the baseline visit

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Relating to RA

  • Diagnosis of any other inflammatory arthritis (e.g. psoriatic arthritis or ankylosingspondylitis), or a diagnosis of a secondary, non-inflammatory type of arthritis (e.g.osteoarthritis or fibromyalgia) that in the Investigator's opinion is symptomaticenough to interfere with the evaluation of the effect of CAM-3001 on the patient'sprimary diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis Relating to Previous Clinical Trials andBiologic Therapies

  • Administration of any investigational or experimental non-biologic therapy in the 12weeks prior to the baseline visit

  • Administration of any biologic therapy within 6 months prior to the baseline visitRelating to Concomitant Medications

  • Use of prohibited concomitant medications, which might confound the interpretation ofthe study data Relating to Medical History

  • Female patients who are pregnant or breast-feeding, or who plan to become pregnantduring the trial or during the 24 weeks after administration of CAM-3001

  • Male or female patients not willing to use reliable methods of birth control for theduration of the study

  • A history of TB, or clinical/radiographic evidence of TB, or positive TB test

  • A history or current symptoms and signs of chronic infection, or recent (within 6months prior to screening visit) serious infection including herpes zoster

  • Patients at a high risk of infection e.g. a history of an infected joint prosthesis atany time with that prosthesis still in situ, leg ulcers, indwelling urinary catheter,persistent or recurrent chest infections

  • Neutrophil count < 1000 x 106 cells/L

  • A positive hepatitis B surface antigen test and/or hepatitis C antibody test result

  • A positive test for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection

  • Receipt of live (attenuated) vaccine within the 4 weeks prior to baseline or duringthe study

  • Current or recent history of significant renal, hepatic, haematological, immunological (other than RA), gastrointestinal, endocrine, pulmonary, cardiac, neurological, orcerebral disease which would interfere with the patient's participation in the trial.Patients with mild and stable asthma or mild and stable Chronic Obstructive PulmonaryDisease (COPD) may be included at the discretion of the Investigator

  • Active malignancy or lymphoproliferative disorder of any type, or a history ofmalignancy except for basal cell carcinoma of the skin that has been excised prior tothe screening visit

  • Suspected alcohol or substance abuse

  • Donation of ≥ 400mL of blood within 8 weeks prior to baseline

  • Any other significant medical condition which in the opinion of the investigator mightincrease the risk to the patient or confound the interpretation of the data

  • Individuals who are legally institutionalised
