I missed the CC - I'll comment later when I get a chance to listen to the archived version.

At first glance, this is a somewhat strange patient population to begin with - mild to moderate disease already on (low dose) methotrexate. That may account for no ACR50 numbers mentioned.

Also strange that the induction/bi-weekly did worse than the induction/monthly, both on the ACR score and on CRP levels.

On the positive side, the safety looked excellent, which is important because this drug has lots of potential uses outside RA. (Hopefully they aren't dependent on the concomitant use of methotrexate as is Enbrel).

More after I catch the CC.
