Treatment with oral folic acid 1-3 mg/day or, if appropriate, up to 10 mg leucovorin per week. Both rheumatoid factor positivity and a C-reactive protein value >=1 mg/dL, or at least one joint erosion on X-ray. Exclusion Criteria: Subject considered by the investigator, for any reason, to be an unsuitable candidate for the study. Female subject who was pregnant or breast-feeding or considering becoming pregnant. Preceding treatment with any tumor necrosis factor (TNF) antagonist, including adalimumab. Prior exposure to alkylating agents, such as chlorambucil or cyclophosphamide.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Number of Participants Meeting American College of Rheumatology 20% (ACR20) Response Criteria at Week 24
Patients were responders if they had: >= 20% improvement in tender joint count; >= 20% improvement in swollen joint count; and >= 20% improvement in at least 3 of 5 remaining ACR core measures: patient assessment of pain; patient global assessment of disease activity; physician global assessment of disease activity; self-assessed disability (disability index of the Health Assessment Questionnaire [HAQ]); and acute phase reactant: C-reactive protein. Patients withdrawing early or receiving additional disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) after Week 16 were non-responders.
Change From Baseline in Modified Total Sharp X-ray Score at Week 52
Modified total Sharp x-ray score (mTSS) is a measure of change in joint health. Radiographs of hands/wrists and feet were obtained at screening and Week 52. Digitized images of these were scored in a blinded manner. Joints were scored for erosions from 0 (no damage) to 5 and for joint space narrowing from 0 (no damage) to 4; scores were added to obtain the mTSS (range = 0 [normal] to 398 [maximal disease]). Large positive change indicates disease progression; small positive/no change indicates slowing/halting of disease progression; and negative change may indicate improvement of disease.
Change From Baseline in the Disability Index of the Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) at Week 52
Subjects assessed their ability to perform the following tasks: 1) dress/groom; 2) arise; 3) eat; 4) walk; 5) reach; 6) grip; 7) maintain hygiene; and 8) maintain daily activity. Subjects assessed their ability to do these tasks over the past week by marking their response on a questionnaire. Possible responses/scores included the following: without any difficulty (0); with some difficulty (1); with much difficulty (2); and unable to do (3). Negative mean changes from baseline in the disability index of the HAQ indicated improvement.

Estimated Yearly Progression of Rheumatoid Arthritis
Estimated yearly progression was defined as modified total Sharp x-ray score at baseline divided by duration of rheumatoid arthritis disease at baseline. Actual progression during the study was defined as modified total Sharp x-ray score at Week 52 minus modified total Sharp x-ray score at baseline divided by the duration of the study. The range of scores for the modified total Sharp x-ray score was 0 (normal) to 398 (maximal disease).

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The purpose of the study was to assess the safety, immunogenicity, and clinical efficacy of adalimumab compared with placebo (during double-blind phase) and to to evaluate the long-term safety and maintenance of efficacy following repeated administration of adalimumab (during open-label extension phase) in patients with persistently active rheumatoid arthritis who were receiving concurrent methotrexate therapy.
Detailed Description
This was a 10-year study which had an initial 52-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase followed by an open-label extension phase up to 9 years in duration. Data were analyzed for the double-blind phase using all patients who were randomized and received at least one dose of study drug through Week 52 and for all patients who received at least one dose of adalimumab during the 10-year study (the Intent-to-Treat [ITT] population).

Actual progression during the study was defined as modified total Sharp x-ray score at Week 52 minus modified total Sharp x-ray score at baseline divided by the duration of the study. The range of scores for the modified total Sharp x-ray score was 0 (normal) to 398 (maximal disease).

Number of Participants With at Least a 0.22 Reduction From Baseline in the Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) Disability Index at Week 260
Description
The Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) Disability Index is a self-reported measure of disability, which assesses the patient's ability to perform the following tasks: dress and groom; arise; eat; walk; reach; grip; maintain hygiene; and maintain daily activity. Possible responses/scores are 0 (without any difficulty), 1 (with some difficulty), 2 (with much difficulty), and 3 (unable to do). Negative mean changes from Baseline indicate improvement. An improvement of 0.22 in score (a -0.22 or greater reduction from Baseline score) is a minimally clinically significant change.

Change From Baseline in Modified Total Sharp X-ray Score at Week 416
Description
Modified total Sharp x-ray score (mTSS) is a measure of change in joint health. Radiographs of hands/wrists and feet were obtained at screening and Week 416. Digitized images of these were scored in a blinded manner. Joints were scored for erosions from 0 (no damage) to 5 and for joint space narrowing from 0 (no damage) to 4; scores were added to obtain the mTSS (range = 0 [normal] to 398 [maximal disease]). Large positive change indicates disease progression; small positive/no change indicates slowing/halting of disease progression; and negative change may indicate improvement of disease.

(Distal interphalangeal joints [DIPs] were not to be included in joint count for inclusion. The screening and baseline visits could be 3 to 28 days apart for patients not previously receiving disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs [DMARDs] other than MTX or 4 to 6 weeks for patients requiring a DMARD washout period.) Insufficient efficacy with MTX 12.5 to 25 mg per week (10 mg per week if MTX intolerant). If patient on a second-line treatment (DMARD) other than MTX, he/she had to discontinue it for at least 28 days before the baseline visit (the washout period). Treatment with oral folic acid 1-3 mg/day or, if appropriate, up to 10 mg leucovorin per week. Both rheumatoid factor positivity and a C-reactive protein value >=1 mg/dL, or at least one joint erosion on X-ray. Exclusion Criteria: Subject considered by the investigator, for any reason, to be an unsuitable candidate for the study. Female subject who was pregnant or breast-feeding or considering becoming pregnant. Preceding treatment with any tumor necrosis factor (TNF) antagonist, including adalimumab. Prior exposure to alkylating agents, such as chlorambucil or cyclophosphamide. Intra-articular, intramuscular, or intravenous administration of corticosteroids within 4 weeks prior to the screening visit. Subject was wheelchair bound or bedridden.
