E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The primary objective of this study is to compare the treatment efficacy between adalimumab-Pfizer and adalimumab-EU in subjects with moderately to severely active RA who are treated with adalimumab in combination with methotrexate. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
- To evaluate the overall safety and tolerability of adalimumab-Pfizer and adalimumab-EU.
- To evaluate the immunogenicity of adalimumab-Pfizer and adalimumab-EU.
- To evaluate multiple composite and individual parameters of clinical response to adalimumab-Pfizer and adalimumab-EU.
- To evaluate the overall safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of adalimumab-Pfizer after treatment transition from adalimumab-EU to adalimumab-Pfizer.
- To evaluate the population pharmacokinetics (PK) of adalimumab-Pfizer and adalimumab-EU.
- To evaluate the pharmacodynamic (PD) response to adalimumab-Pfizer and adalimumab-EU. |

E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |

- Hs-CRP equal or greater than 8 mg/L.
- Must have received methotrexate for at least 12 weeks and been on a stable dose for at least 4 weeks prior to the first study dose.
|
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |

- History of infection requiring hospitalization or parenteral antimicrobial therapy within 6 months prior to first dose of study drug.
- May have received no more than 2 doses of one biologic therapy (other than adalimumab or lymphocyte depleting therapy).
- Any second DMARD (Disease modifying anti-rheumatic drug) must be washed out prior to the first study dose. |
