HAQ-DI is a 20-question instrument that assesses the degree of difficulty of a participant in accomplishing tasks in eight functional areas: dressing and grooming, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip and common daily activities. Overall HAQ-DI score was computed as sum of the domain scores divided by the number of domains answered. The total possible score ranges from 0 to 3 where 0 = least difficulty and 3 = extreme difficulty. Higher overall score indicates greater disability. A negative change from baseline indicates an improvement. Baseline was defined as the latest pre-dose assessment with a non-missing value, including those from unscheduled visits. Change from Baseline was calculated by subtracting the post dose visit value from the Baseline value. For the purpose of all analyses up to week 12, the placebo arms were pooled into a single placebo arm to primarily serve as a reference for the comparison of active treatment arms.

HAQ-DI is a 20-question instrument that assesses the degree of difficulty of a participant in accomplishing tasks in eight functional areas: dressing and grooming, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip and common daily activities. Overall HAQ-DI score was computed as sum of the domain scores divided by the number of domains answered. The total possible score ranges from 0 to 3 where 0 = least difficulty and 3 = extreme difficulty. Higher overall score indicates greater disability. A negative change from baseline indicates an improvement. Baseline was defined as the latest pre-dose assessment with a non-missing value, including those from unscheduled visits. Change from Baseline was calculated by subtracting the post dose visit value from the Baseline value.

HAQ-DI is a 20-question instrument that assesses the degree of difficulty of a participant in accomplishing tasks in eight functional areas: dressing and grooming, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip and common daily activities. Overall HAQ-DI score was computed as sum of the domain scores divided by the number of domains answered. The total possible score ranges from 0 to 3 where 0 = least difficulty and 3 = extreme difficulty. Higher overall score indicates greater disability. A negative change from baseline indicates an improvement. Baseline was defined as latest pre-dose assessment with a non-missing value, including those from unscheduled visits.

An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of a study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. A SAE is any untoward medical occurrence that, is life-threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent disability/incapacity and/or can result in death.

Blood samples were collected for the assessment of change from baseline in hematology parameters including WBC count, platelet count, neutrophils, lymphocytes. Baseline was defined as latest pre-dose assessment with a non-missing value, including those from unscheduled visits. Change from Baseline was calculated by subtracting post dose visit value from Baseline value. For the purpose of all analyses up to week 12, the placebo arms were pooled into a single placebo arm to primarily serve as a reference for the comparison of active treatment arms.

Number of participants with NCI-CTCAE >=Grade 3 hematological/clinical chemistry abnormalities were summarized. Hematological and Clinical chemistry parameters were summarized according to the NCI-CTCAE, version 5.0: Grade 1: mild; Grade 2: moderate; Grade 3: severe; Grade 4: life-threatening or disabling. Higher grade indicates more severity. Data is presented for only those parameters for which participants had worst case >=Grade 3 shifts from Baseline.

Blood samples were collected for markers which may influence rheumatoid arthritis. Concentrations of GM-CSF autoantibodies was determined.

Serum samples were collected for the determination of anti- GSK3196165 antibodies (ADA) using a validated electrochemiluminescence (ECL) immunoassay. The assay involved screening, confirmation and titration steps. If serum samples tested positive in the screening assay, they were considered 'potentially positive' and were further analyzed for the specificity using the confirmation assay. Samples that confirmed positive in the confirmation assay were reported as 'positive'. Confirmed positive ADA samples were further characterized in the titration assay to quasi-quantitate the amount of ADA in the sample. Additionally, confirmed positive ADA samples were also tested in a validated neutralizing antibody assay to determine the potential neutralizing activity of the ADA.

An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of a study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. A SAE is any untoward medical occurrence that, is life-threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent disability/incapacity and/or can result in death.
