Lack of benefit may include inadequate improvement in joint counts, physical function, or disease activity.

• - Intolerance to at least 2 bDMARDs in different mechanism classes or 1 bDMARD and 1 tsDMARD.

• - Anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA) positive and/or rheumatoid factor (RF) positive.

• - If using oral corticosteroids (OCS), must be on a stable dose equivalent to ≤ 10 mg/day of prednisone for at least 2 weeks prior to first study treatment.

• - Have received prior immunomodulatory bDMARDs for RA including, but not limited to adalimumab, golimumab, ustekinumab, secukinumab, tocilizumab, abatacept, or other inhibitors of TNF, IL-6, IL-23, or IL-17 less than 3 months or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer, prior to first administration of the study treatment.

This is a Phase 1b, randomized, placebo-controlled, multicenter study to determine the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of imvotamab in adult participants with active RA who are refractory or intolerant to 2 previous biologic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (bDMARD) or targeted synthetic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (tsDMARD) therapies. Approximately 24 participants will be sequentially assigned to different dose escalation cohorts.
