as the patient self-reported duration of signs and symptoms of synovitis (e.g. pain, swelling, tenderness) of any joints.
5. Patients must be naïve to any DMARDs (csDMARDs, or bDMARDs, or
tsDMARDs) other than hydroxychloroquine, as long as this is discontinued at
least 4 weeks prior to the screening visit.
6. Patients with at least 6/68 tender and 6/66 swollen joints, of which at least one
joint must be in the hand/wrist (to be imaged in patients participating in the MRI
sub-study).

Score 28 (DAS28) (C-Reactive Protein – CRP) index score > 3.2.
8. Patients with serum C-Reactive Protein (hsCRP) higher than the upper limit of
normal (ULN), i.e. 3 mg/L.
9. Patients positive for serum rheumatoid factor (RF) or anti-cyclic citrullinated

hepatitis (previous documented diagnosis of viral or autoimmune hepatitis, or
detection of any unexplained elevation of serum ALT or AST greater than 1.5-fold
ULN, at least twice in the 6 months before the Screening Visit) and HIV infection.
10. History of alcohol or drug abuse during the 12 months preceding the Screening
Visit.
11. Allergy/hypersensitivity/intolerance to any components in CR6086 and MTX,
including excipients such as lactose (patients with rare hereditary problems of
galactose intolerance, Lapp lactase deficiency, or glucose-galactose malabsorption
should be excluded), starch, magnesium stearate, cellulose.
12. Vaccination with live vaccines during the 6 weeks preceding the Screening Visit.

17. Serum alkaline-phosphatase, or gamma-glutamyl-transferase greater than 3-fold
ULN; alanine aminotransferase, or aspartate aminotransferase, or total bilirubin
greater than 2-fold ULN.
18. Estimated creatinine clearance less than 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 (MDRD).
19. 12-lead ECG with clinically relevant findings, as judged by the Investigator.
20. Use of hydroxychloroquine during the 4 weeks preceding the Screening Visit.
21. Treatment with oral corticosteroids, unless maintained at doses equivalent to =10
mg/day prednisone =7 days before the Screening Visit. Use of steroids by other
administration route before screening visit is allowed, with the exception of i.a.
administration during the four weeks preceding the screening visit.
22. Use of NSAIDs if the patient cannot suspend therapy for the whole duration of the
study (from Screening Visit to EOS).
23. Use of other investigational drugs/treatments, or enrolment in a clinical trial during the 6 months preceding the Screening Visit.

Primary end point(s): ACR20 responder rate after 12 weeks of combined treatment with CR6086/Placebo and MTX (week 13).
Secondary Outcome(s)
Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: The ACR50 and ACR70 Responder rate will be both assessed at week 13.
All the other secondary endpoints will be assessed at each timepoint.
Secondary end point(s): • ACR50 responder rate at week 13.
• ACR70 responder rate at week 13.
• Change from baseline of the 7 individual components of the ACR
criteria (tender/painful joint count, swollen joint count, Patient's
assessment of arthritis pain, PtGA of arthritis, PhGA of arthritis, HAQ-DI,
serum CRP) at each time point.
• Change from baseline in DAS28 at each time point.
• Proportion of patients with Low, Moderate, or High Disease Activity
based on DAS28 at each time point.
• Proportion of patients fulfilling DAS28 remission criteria at each time
point (DAS28<2.6).
• Proportion of patients achieving a Good EULAR response (a DAS28
score=3.2 at the considered visit, together with an improvement from
baseline in DAS28>1.2) at each time point.
• Change from baseline in SDAI and CDAI at each time point.
• Proportion of patients with Low, Moderate, or High Disease Activity
based on SDAI and CDAI at each time point.
