The study duration per patient is expected to be approximately 32 weeks, with up to 4-week screening, 24 weeks treatment, and 2-4 weeks post-treatment observations.
Secondary endpoints:
Phase I (Remission induction):
- The proportion of patients on MTX/HCQ/GC in remission, defined as DAS28<2.6, at week 12 or week 24 after start of treatment.
- The proportion of patients on MTX/GOL in sustained remission, defined as DAS28<2.6 with max 4 swollen joints of the
