4\. Is currently receiving an immuno-modulatory treatment. 5. Patients with a history of venous and arterial thromboembolic events including, but not limited to, the following:
1. Deep venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, myocardial infarction, stroke, transient ischemic attack, or arterial insufficiency causing digital gangrene.
2. Patients with recent immobilization or recent surgery.

7\. Has recent or active hepatitis A infection, current/chronic hepatitis B and hepatitis C infection, or HIV infection. Participants with immunity to hepatitis B from previous infection, defined as negative HBsAg, positive anti-HBc, and positive hepatitis B surface antibody \[anti-HBs\] or vaccination \[defined as negative HBsAg, negative anti-HBc, and positive anti-HBs\] are eligible to participate.

8\. Has a history of latent or active tuberculosis. 9. Has received a live attenuated vaccine within the last 60 days including patients who plan to receive live attenuated vaccines during the study or within 60 days after the final dose of study treatment.

10\. Patients with the following should be excluded:

<!-- -->

1. Abnormal coagulation test at screening: prothrombin time (PT; >14 sec), activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT; >32 sec) or fibrinogen level (<190 or >450 mg/dL).
2. Abnormal liver function tests (except in the case of known Gilbert's syndrome):
