Female patients of childbearing potential, must test negative for pregnancy at the time of enrollment and agree to use a reliable method of birth control or remain abstinent during the study or for at
least 30 days following the last dose of study drug, whichever is longer, or,
must be a female of non-childbearing potential, defined as:
- women who have had surgical sterilization (hysterectomy or bilateral
oophorectomy or tubal ligation),
- women =60 years of age, or
- women =40 and <60 years of age who have had a cessation of menses for
at least 12 months and a follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) test
confirming non-childbearing potential (FSH =40 mIU/mL).

investigating LY3009104.

3000 mg/day) in the 8 weeks prior to baseline.
[8] Use of leflunomide in the 12 weeks prior to baseline (or a minimum of
4 weeks prior to baseline will be required if the standard 11 days of
chlolestyramine is used to washout leflunomide).
[9] Have active fibromyalgia that would make it difficult to appropriately assess
RA activity for the purposes of this study or have a diagnosis of any systemic
inflammatory condition other than RA. Patients with secondary Sjogren's syndrome with RA are not excluded.
[10] Have evidence of active vasculitis.
[11] Have a diagnosis of Felty’s syndrome.
[12] Had surgical treatment of a joint that is to be assessed in the study within
2 months of study baseline or will require such during the study.
[13] An abnormality in the 12-lead ECG that in the opinion of the investigator
increases the risk of participating in the study.
[14] Uncontrolled arterial hypertension characterized by a systolic BP >160 mmHg
or diastolic BP >100 mmHg.
[15] Have had lymphoma, leukemia, or any malignancy within the past 5 years,
except for cervical carcinoma in situ that has been resected with no evidence
of recurrence or metastatic disease, or basal cell or squamous epithelial skin
cancers that have been completely resected with no evidence of recurrence for
at least 3 years.
[16] History or presence of cardiovascular, respiratory, hepatic, renal,
gastrointestinal, endocrine, hematological, or neurological disorders that in the
opinion of the investigator could constitute a risk or of interfere with the interpretation of data.
[17] Evidence of significant active neuropsychiatric disease, in the opinion of the
investigator.
[18] Have a current or recent (<30 days prior to screening) viral, bacterial, fungal,
or parasitic infection.
[19] Had a serious infection or atypical mycobacterial infection within 6 months prior to screening.
[20] Had symptomatic herpes zoster or herpes simplex infection within 90 days
prior to baseline.

human HIV antibodies.

[HBsAg+]) OR are positive for hepatitis B core antibody and negative for
hepatitis B surface antibody (HBcAb+, HBsAb-).

purified protein derivative (PPD) test (=5 mm in duration between
approximately 2 and 3 days after application.

Primary Outcome(s)

Primary end point(s): The primary analysis will be a comparison of the combined 4 mg and 8 mg dose groups with placebo on the ACR20 response rate at 12 weeks.

Main Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of LY3009104 as assessed by the aggregate proportion of patients in the 4 mg and 8 mg dose groups who achieve an ACR20 response compared to placebo over 12 weeks in patients with active RA despite ongoing MTX
therapy.

Secondary Objective: 1 - To characterize the dose-response relationship of LY3009104 on ACR (20/50/N)
response rates over 12 weeks and to evaluate model-predicted responses for each dose versus placebo to identify one or more efficacious doses.
2 - To evaluate the efficacy of each dose of LY3009104 compared to placebo over 12 weeks.
3 - To evaluate the relative efficacy of each dose of LY3009104 over 24 weeks.
4 - To evaluate the safety and tolerability of LY3009104 compared to placebo.
5 - To evaluate the efficacy of twice-daily dosing of 2 mg of LY3009104 as compared to once-daily dosing of 4 mg of LY3009104.
6 - To evaluate the safety of twice-daily dosing of 2 mg of LY3009104 as compared to once daily dosing of 4 mg of LY3009104 as assessed by standard safety measures.
7 - To characterize the pharmacokinetics of LY3009104 and explore dose/PK relationships.
8 - To evaluate the impact of LY3009104 compared to placebo over the 12-week study period with regard to patient-reported outcomes.
