All patients had a foundation MTX therapy.The researchers evaluated the efficacy of the patient in 12 week.study investigator evaluate the patients of curative effect . The researchers evaluated the efficacy of the patient in 12 week.Evaluation of efficacy in patients if not get the ACR20 response, adjust the treatment plan given the test drug.Test group continue to the test drug,placebo group switch to the test drug.

The proportion of patients in each group reached ACR20 24 weeks for visits
ACR20 response: Patients with tenderness and swollen joint counts and 20% improvement,At least 3 20% improvement in the following 5:a.Health Assessment Questionnaire;b.Subjects assessed pain VAS score;c.Assess the overall situation of the disease subject VAS score;d.Researchers assessed the overall situation of the disease in the VAS score;e.Acute phase reactants(ESR or CRP)
Time frame: Week 24(Visit 9 )
Percentage of Participants Achieving a Clinically Meaningful Improvement in Disease Activity Score 28 (DAS28)at week 12 and week 24.
DAS28 was calculated from the tender joint count (TJC) of 28 joints, swollen joint count (SJC) of 28 joints, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) (in millimeters \[mm\]/hour), and the participant's global assessment of disease activity (100 mm visual analog scale \[VAS\]: 0 mm=no disease activity to 100 mm=maximum disease activity). The formula for calculating DAS28 score using ESR value is: 0.56\*square root (√) of TJC + 0.28\*√(SJC) + 0.70\*log natural (ESR) + 0.014\*global assessment of disease activity (100 mm VAS). The DAS28 scale ranges from 0 to 10, where higher scores represent higher disease activity.
Time frame: week 12 and week 24
