Summary
The study objective of Period 1 (Day 1 to Week 24) is to compare the safety and efficacy of 30 mg once daily (QD) and 15 mg QD upadacitinib versus placebo for the treatment of signs and symptoms of participants with moderately to severely active RA who were on a stable dose of csDMARDs and had an inadequate response to or intolerance to at least 1 bDMARD. The study objective of Period 2 (Week 24 to Week 260) is to evaluate the long-term safety, tolerability, and efficacy of upadacitinib 15 mg QD and 30 mg QD in participants with RA who completed Period 1.

duration prior to the first dose of study drug.

- Participant has been receiving csDMARD therapy ≥ 3 months and on a stable dose for ≥ 4
weeks prior to the first dose of study drug. The following csDMARDs are allowed:
