Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Subjects Achieving Pediatric American College of Rheumatology 30% (PedACR30) Response at Week 16Week 16

Response defined as at least 30% improvement in 3 or more of 6 juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA) core set criteria, and at least 30% worsening in not more than 1 JRA criterion, compared with baseline. JRA core set criteria include physician's global assessment of disease severity; parent's/patient's global assessment of overall well-being; number of active joints (joints with swelling or with limitation of motion \[LOM\] and with pain, tenderness or both); number of joints with LOM; physical function of the Disability Index of Childhood Health Assessment Questionnaire; C-reactive protein.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Subjects Achieving PedACR50 and PedACR70 Responses at Week 16Week 16

Response defined as at least 50/70% improvement in 3 or more of 6 juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA) core set criteria, and at least 50/70% worsening in not more than 1 JRA criterion compared with baseline. JRA core set criteria include physician's global assessment of disease severity; parent's/patient's global assessment of overall well-being; number of active joints (joints with swelling or with limitation of motion \[LOM\] and with pain, tenderness or both); number of joints with LOM; physical function of the Disability Index of Childhood Health Assessment Questionnaire; C-reactive protein.

Number of Subjects Achieving PedACR 30/50/70 ResponsesWeek 2, 4, 8, and 24, every 12 weeks from Week 24 to Week 60, and every 24 weeks from Week 72 to the final visit
Mean Serum Adalimumab ConcentrationWeek 2, 4, 8, 16, and 24, and every 12 weeks up to Week 60

Blood samples were drawn prior to drug administration. Adalimumab concentrations in serum were determined using a validated enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method based on a double-antigen technique. Concentrations are reported as micrograms per milliliter (mcg/mL).

Number of Subjects Positive for Anti-adalimumab Antibodies (AAA)Week 24 and Week 60

Serum samples with adalimumab concentration below 2 mcg/mL were selected for AAA analyses. Samples were considered AAA positive if the measured AAA concentration was above 20 ng/mL. A subject was considered to be AAA positive if the subject had at least one AAA positive sample observed within 30 days following the subject's last adalimumab dose.
