Immunogenicity determination was based on titers of anti-abatacept and anti- cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen-4 (CTLA-4-T) antibodies in serum over time. A participant had a positive abatacept-induced immunogenicity if 1 of the following criteria were met: missing baseline measurement and a positive response after baseline; negative baseline response and positive response after baseline; a baseline response and a positive response after baseline that has a titer value strictly greater than the baseline titer value. A validated, sensitive, electrochemiluminescence assay (ECL) method was used to analyze the antibodies in serum. Samples confirmed positive with ECL and with abatacept serum concentrations of less than equal to 1 µg/mL were further analyzed with a validated, in vitro, cell-based bioassay to analyze the sera containing the abatacept neutralizing activity. Samples obtained on Days 29, 57 and 71 post dose of abatacept on Day 1 (baseline).

Blood samples obtained: Days 1, 2, 4, 8, 15, 22, 29, 43, 57 and 71. International Units per liter (U/L); milligram per deciliter (mg/dL); Male(M); Female (F). Reference ranges (low/high) for laboratories for which participants were identified with marked abnormalities during the study: Blood Urea Nitrogen (M/F) 10-20mg/dL ; Creatine Kinase (F) 21-21 U/L,(M) 32-294 U/L; Direct Bilirubin (M/F) 0.1-0.4 mg/dL ; Fasting Glucose (M/F) 70-110 mg/dL; Lactate Dehydrogenase (M/F) 110-209 U/L.

Blood samples obtained: Days 2, 4, 8, 15, 22, 29, 43, 57 and 71. Male(M); Female (F). Reference ranges (low/high) for laboratory parameters for which participants were identified with marked abnormalities during the study: Leukocytes (quantitative White blood cells) (M/F) 4-11*10^3/microliters (µL); Neutrophils (absolute)(M/F) 1.4- 8.2*10^3/µL.

Blood pressure was obtained while the participant had been quietly seated for at least 5 minutes. Baseline was the 0 hour measurement on Day 1 (day of dosing) or if this value was missing, the last measurement before dosing. Blood pressure was measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg) on Days 1, 2, 15, 29, 57, and 71.

12-lead electrocardiograms were performed on a supine participant (5 minutes supine) at baseline (baseline = screening; Days -21 to -2) and at Day 71. QT interval and QTc were measured in mille seconds (msec). A change from baseline QT and QTc (corrected for heart rate by Fridericia formula) greater than (>) 30 msec or less than (<) 60 msec were presented, as well as values over 450 and 500 msec. QT interval on ECG image defined as: time from the beginning of the QRS (complex consisting of Q, R and S waves) to the end of the T wave.
