Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Other - ABP 710
Treatment: Other - Infliximab

Experimental: ABP 710 - Participants randomized to receive a 3 mg/kg intravenous (IV) infusion of ABP 710 on day 1, at weeks 2 and 6, and every 8 weeks thereafter until week 22.

At week 22 participants continued receiving 3 mg/kg ABP 710 every 8 weeks through week 46.

Active comparator: Infliximab - Participants randomized to receive a 3 mg/kg IV infusion of infliximab on day 1, at weeks 2 and 6, and every 8 weeks thereafter until week 22.

At week 22 participants were re-randomized in a 1:1 ratio to either continue receiving 3 mg/kg infliximab every 8 weeks or transition to receive 3 mg/kg ABP 710 every 8 weeks through week 46.
