This study is designed to determine whether CZP 400 mg at Weeks 0, 2, and 4 followed by CZP 200 mg every 2 weeks (Q2W) in combination with MTX demonstrates superiority, in terms of greater improvement in relief of the signs and symptoms of RA, compared with MTX alone. Approximately 535 subjects will be screened to randomize 400 subjects into this study, at approximately 25 centers in the People's Republic of China. There will be 2 treatment groups, with 300 subjects in the CZP+MTX group and 100 subjects in the PBO+MTX group. For each subject, the study duration will last a maximum of approximately 38 weeks. Subjects who complete study RA0044 and subjects who fail to achieve an American College of Rheumatology 20 % Response Criteria (ACR20) response at Week 12 that is confirmed at Week 14 and thus are withdrawn from this study at Week 16, are permitted to receive treatment with CZP in the open-label extension study, RA0078. The secondary objectives are to assess the dose regimen of CZP in combination with MTX compared with MTX alone in the safety and tolerability, ability to improve physical function, and health outcomes measures in Chinese subjects with active RA; also to characterize the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile and immunogenicity of CZP in combination with MTX."}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': "Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* An Institutional Review Board (IRB)/Independent Ethics Committee (IEC) approved written Informed Consent form (ICF) is signed and dated by the subject or by the legal representative\n* Subject is considered reliable and capable of adhering to the protocol (eg, able to understand and complete questionnaires), visit schedule, and medication intake according to the judgment of the Investigator\n* Subject is male or female, and at least 18 years of age at the Screening Visit\n* Subjects must have a diagnosis of adult onset Rheumatoid Arthritis RA of at least 6 months duration as defined by the 1987 American College of Rheumatology (ACR) classification criteria (Arnett et al, 1988).\n* Subjects must have active RA disease as defined by:\n\n * ≥6 tender joints at Screening and Baseline\n * ≥6 swollen joints at Screening and Baseline\n * Fulfilling 1 of the following 2 criteria during the Screening Period:\n * European League Against Rheumatism (ESR) (Westergren) ≥30 mm/hour, or\n * C-reactive protein (CRP) \\>15 mg/L\n* Subjects must have a normal chest x ray within 3 months prior to the Baseline Visit\n* Female subjects with childbearing potential should have a negative pregnancy test at Screening and at Baseline and should have a medically accepted method of contraception used during the entire duration of the study and for 10 weeks after the last dose of Certolizumab Pegol (CZP).\n* Male subjects must agree to ensure they use adequate contraception during the study and for at least 10 weeks after the subject receives their last dose of study medication\n* Subjects must have received treatment with Methotrexate (MTX) (with or without folic acid) for at least 3 months prior to the Baseline Visit.
