Key inclusion & exclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria:
1. Ability and willingness to provide written informed consent and to comply with the requirements of the protocol 2. Age > 18 years 3. Current treatment for RA on an outpatient basis 4. Active disease, defined as the following: a) A diagnosis of RA using the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) criteria for RA (see Appendix 1, ~xr1i ). b) Swollen joint count (SJC) > 4 (66 joint count) and tender joint count (TJC) > 4 (68 joint count) at screening and baseline c) C-reactive protein (CRP) > 0.6 mg/dL using a high-sensitivity assay or erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) > 28 mm/hour d) Positive rheumatoid factor or positive anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (CCP) antibody, or both 5. Inadequate clinical response to MTX taken at a dose of 7.5-25 mg/week for at least 12 weeks, with the last 4 weeks prior to baseline at a stable dose 6. The patient must be willing to receive oral folic acid or equivalent. Previous and current treatments (beyond MTX) may include the following: 7. If the patient is receiving current treatment with corticosteroids, the dose must not exceed 10 mg/day of prednisolone or equivalent, and, during the 4 weeks prior to baseline, it must be at a stable dose and remain stable for the duration of the study 8. If the patient is receiving current treatment with NSAIDs, the patient must be on a stable dose for the 4 weeks prior to baseline and remain stable for the duration of the study. 9. May have experienced an inadequate response to previous or current treatment with other DMARDs and biologics such as etanercept, infliximab, adalimumab, or abatacept because of toxicity or inadequate efficacy. 10. For patients of reproductive potential (males and females), a reliable means of contraception must be used for the duration of the study (e.g., hormonal contraceptive, intrauterine device, physical barrier) according to local guidelines. 11. Female patients of childbearing age must have a negative urine pregnancy test.

Exclusion criteria:
Exclusion criteria related to RA: 1. Rheumatic autoimmune disease other than RA, or significant systemic involvement secondary to RA (including, but not limited to, vasculitis, pulmonary fibrosis, or Felty?s syndrome). Patients with secondary Sjögren?s syndrome or secondary limited cutaneous vasculitis with RA are eligible. 2. Functional Class IV as defined by the ACR Classification of Functional Status in RA (see Appendix 3, ~xr3i ). 3. History of, or current, inflammatory joint disease other than RA (e.g., gout, reactive arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, seronegative spondyloarthropathy, Lyme disease) or other systemic autoimmune disorder (e.g., systemic lupus erythematosus, inflammatory bowel disease, scleroderma, inflammatory myopathy, mixed connective tissue disease, or other overlap syndrome) Exclusion criteria related to general health: 4. Any surgical procedure, including bone or joint surgery/synovectomy (including joint fusion or replacement) within 12 weeks prior to or planned within 48 weeks after baseline. Note that minor skin surgeries and dental procedures are allowed if they are completely resolved and have not resulted in any complications. 5. Sepsis in a prosthetic joint within the last 48 weeks or indefinitely if the prosthesis concerned remains in situ 6. Lack of peripheral venous access 7. Pregnancy or lactation 8. Known significant cardiac disease (New York Heart Association Class III and IV) 9. Known severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) (forced expiratory volume in 1 second [FEV1] < 50% predicted or functional dyspnea Grade> 3 on the Medical Research Council [MRC] Dyspnea Scale). 10. Evidence of significant uncontrolled concomitant diseases such as nervous system, renal, hepatic, endocrine, or gastrointestinal disorders that, in the investigator?s opinion, would preclude patient participation. 11. Any neurological (congenital or acquired), psychiatric, vascular, or systemic disorder that could affect any of the efficacy assessments; in particular, joint pain and swelling (e.g., Parkinson?s disease, cerebral palsy, diabetic neuropathy, chronic fatigue syndrome, or chronic remitting anemia of unknown origin or requiring transfusion) Etc. (including Exclusion criteria related to medications and Exclusion criteria related to laboratory values at screening)

Primary Outcome(s)

Main Objective: The primary objective of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of 400 mg ocrelizumab, given as a single infusion, versus placebo, in combination with MTX, to reduce the signs and symptoms of RA at 24 weeks in patients with active RA who currently have an inadequate response to MTX therapy.
