3. Subjects who are considered by the Investigator to be a suitable candidate for selfadministering adalimumab treatment
4. Must be able to provide informed consent, which must be obtained prior to any study related procedures.
Are the trial subjects under 18? no
Number of subjects for this age range:
F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes
F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range 50
F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) no
F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range
1. Have been treated previously with any biologic agents including any tumour necrosis factor inhibitor.
2. Have a known hypersensitivity to human immunoglobulin proteins or other components of SB5.
3. Have a current diagnosis of active tuberculosis (TB), have been recently exposed to a person with active TB, or are considered to have latent TB indicated by a positive QuantiFERON® Gold test result.
4. Have had a serious infection (such as sepsis, abscess, opportunistic infections or invasive fungal infection including histoplasmosis) or have been treated with intravenous antibiotics for an infection within 8 weeks or oral antibiotics within 2 weeks prior to first dose of IP. Nonsignificant infections do not need to be considered exclusionary at the discretion of the Investigator.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Main Objective: The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate the comparability between subcutaneous (SC) delivery administration of SB5 via the pre-filled pen (Pen) versus the pre-filled syringe (PFS) in terms of injection site pain in subjects with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).;Secondary Objective: The secondary objectives are:<br>• To assess the usability between SC delivery administration of SB5 via Pen versus PFS<br>• To assess the safety of SB5 via Pen and PFS;Primary end point(s): Injection site pain evaluation;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: at Week 2 and at Week 6
- Secondary Outcome Measures
