10. Other acute or chronic medical or psychiatric condition including recent (within the past year) or active suicidal ideation or behavior or laboratory abnormality that may increase the risk associated with study participation or investigational product administration or may interfere with the interpretation of study results and, in the judgment of the investigator, would make the participant inappropriate for entry into this study.
11. Prior/Current treatment with adalimumab.
12. More than 3 disease modifying anti rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) in combination therapy; concomitant DMARD therapy including small molecules, biologics, and biosimilars, with the exception of methotrexate and stable dose (at least 4 weeks) of leflunomide, anti-malarials and sulfasalazine
