Short Term: The purpose of this clinical research study is to learn if abatacept (BMS-188667) in combination with methotrexate is better than methotrexate alone in participants that have active rheumatoid arthritis and are not responding to methotrexate. The safety of this treatment will also be studied. Long Term Extension: The purpose of this amendment is to provide participants who have completed the initial 12-month double-blind treatment period the opportunity to receive open label treatment with active drug treatment until abatacept is approved in the local country or until clinical development has been discontinued.

Number of American College of Rheumatology 20 (ACR 20) Responders at Day 169
ACR 20 response requires a patient to have a 20% reduction in the number of swollen and tender joints, and a reduction of 20% in three of the following five parameters: physician global assessment of disease, patient global assessment of disease, patient assessment of pain, C-reactive protein or erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and degree of disability in Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) score. A participant achieved a sustained ACR 20 response if the participant had ACR 20 observed for at least 2 consecutive study visits.

Number of Participants Achieving Clinically Meaningful Improvement in Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) at Day 365
The HAQ-DI includes 20 questions to assess physical function in 8 domains: dressing, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip, and common activities. The domain questions are evaluated on a 4-point scale: 0=without any difficulty, 1=with some difficulty, 2=with much difficulty, 3=unable to do. HAQ-DI=sum of worst scores in each domain dividied by the number of domains answered. HAQ-DI ranges from 0 to a maximum overall score of 3.0. Clinically meaningful HAQ response was defined as an improvement of at least 0.3 units from baseline in HAQ DI.

Change From BL in Joint Narrowing Score (JSN), Erosion Score (ES), and Total Score (TS) by Category in the DB Period
To assess joint damage progression, the Genant-modified Sharp scoring method was used to evaluate radiographs of hands/wrists and feet for erosions and joint space narrowing (JSN). The total Genant-modified Sharp score ranges from 0 (no radiographic damage) to 290 (worst possible radiographic damage) and is the sum of the erosion score (range 0-145) and the joint space narrowing score (range 0-145). Higher scores indicated more damage. Improvement=decreases from BL, stable=same as BL, worsening=increases from BL.
