January 20, 2011 updated by: Amgen

A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Dose Ranging Study to Assess the Efficacy, Safety and Tolerability of AMG 719 in Subjects With Rheumatoid Arthritis Receiving Methothrexate

This clinical study is investigating AMG 719, an investigational drug, for the treatment of patients who have Rheumatoid Arthritis and who are taking Methotrexate. AMG 719 is a drug which is self-injected beneath the skin (similarly to the way insulin is self-injected by diabetics). Patients on this study are on study for 28-weeks. They visit the study facility at least 11 times while participating in the study.
