Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - Sirukumab
Treatment: Drugs - Placebo to match sirukumab
Treatment: Drugs - Prednisone
Treatment: Drugs - Placebo to match prednisone

Experimental: Part A: Sirukumab, Dose 1+prednisone (6-month taper) - Subjects will receive blinded sirukumab 100 mg subcutaneously (SC) every 2 weeks (q2w) for 52 weeks plus a pre-specified maximum of 6-month oral prednisone taper regimen.

Experimental: Part A: Sirukumab, Dose 1+prednisone (3-month taper) - Subjects will receive blinded sirukumab 100 mg SC q2w for 52 weeks plus a pre-specified maximum of 3-month oral prednisone taper regimen.

Experimental: Part A: Sirukumab, Dose 2+prednisone (6-month taper) - Subjects will receive blinded sirukumab 50 mg SC every 4 weeks (q4w) for 52 weeks plus a pre-specified maximum of 6-month oral prednisone taper regimen.

Placebo comparator: Part A:Placebo to match sirutkumab+prednisone (6-month taper) - Subjects will receive blinded placebo to match sirutkumab q2w for 52 weeks plus a pre-specified maximum of 6-month oral prednisone taper regimen.

Placebo comparator: Part A:Placebo to match sirukumab+prednisone (12-month taper) - Subjects will receive blinded placebo to match sirutkumab q2w for 52 weeks plus a pre-specified maximum of 12-month oral prednisone taper regimen.

Experimental: Part B:Open-label sirukumab 100 mg SC (if applicable) - Subjects completing Part A will receive open label 100 mg SC q2w for a maximum of 52 weeks based on remission status and disease activity at the primary 52-week endpoint or prednisone tapering status of subject during Part A. Methotrexate will be provided to subjects, alone or in addition to sirukumab treatment during Part B, based on the discretion of the investigator.


Treatment: Drugs: Sirukumab
Sirukumab will be provided as 1 millilitre (mL) Pre-filled Syringe (PFS), containing 100 mg/mL or 50 mg/mL of sirukuma, fitted with a spring-powered, disposable autoinjector device for single use SC administration of liquid biologic drug.

Treatment: Drugs: Placebo to match sirukumab
Placebo to match sirukumab will be provided as 1.0 mL PFS fitted with a spring-powered, disposable autoinjector device for single use SC administration of liquid biologic drug.

Treatment: Drugs: Prednisone
Prednisone will be provided as tablets with dosage level up to-60 mg/day. The prednisone dose for all subjects will be determined by the Investigator and starting doses will be within 20-60 mg prednisone at Baseline (Randomization).

Treatment: Drugs: Placebo to match prednisone
Placebo to match prednisone will be provided as tablets.
