Infections(s) requiring oral anti-infectives (antibiotics, antivirals, antifungals, antihelminthics) within 14 days prior to D1
• •Known history of or suspected significant current immunosuppression, including history of invasive opportunistic or helminthic infections despite infection resolution or otherwise recurrent infections of abnormal frequency or prolonged duration

• •Participants who are Steinbrocker class IV functional capacity (incapacitated, largely or wholly bed-ridden or confined to a wheelchair, with little or no self-care)
• •Vaccination with live or live-attenuated virus vaccine within 3 months prior to screening or plan to receive one during the trial including at least 3 months after the last dose of study drug
• •Any non-live vaccine (eg, COVID-19) within 14 days prior to randomization or plan to receive one during the trial
