A Phase III Study of BMS-188667 in Patients With Active Rheumatoid Arthritis and Inadequate Response to Methotrexate - Full Text View

Sponsored by:	Bristol-Myers Squibb
Information provided by:	Bristol-Myers Squibb
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00048568

Purpose

The purpose of this clinical research study is to learn if BMS-188667 in combination with methotrexate is better than methotrexate alone in subjects that have active rheumatoid arthritis and are not responding to methotrexate. The safety of this treatment will also be studied.
