Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Assess the steady-state trough serum concentration of abatacept following weekly SC dosing in subjects with active RA [ Time Frame: before and at the end of the IV dose, just prior to each SC dose, and on 4 days between doses ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  • The primary objective of the open-label period is to assess the safety, immunogenicity and long term tolerability of subcutaneous administration of abatacept in subjects who have completed the initial 12-week treatment with abatacept [ Time Frame: safety monitoring every 4 weeks; immunogenicity every 12 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • To assess the safety and tolerability of abatacept administered SC in RA subjects [ Time Frame: are collected every 2 weeks and at follow-up visits - short term ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  • To assess the immunogenicity of abatacept administered SC in RA subjects [ Time Frame: are collected every 2 weeks and at follow-up visits - short term ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  • To examine the effect of SC administered abatacept on serum levels of RF in RA subjects [ Time Frame: on regular intervals and at Study Discharge - short term ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
