Study Overview

Brief Summary

This study demonstrated that in patients with rheumatoid arthritis with inadequate response to methotrexate, the efficacy of adalimumab with reduced dose of concomitant methotrexate was not inferior to that with maximum tolerable dose of methotrexate. There was no significant difference about HAQ remission rate and structural remission rate between the two groups. The incidence of AEs was numerically lower in reduced dose group than in maximum tolerable dose group.
