  Purpose

This study will investigate the efficacy of both high and low doses of MTX in combination with open-label adalimumab in patients who have had an inadequate response to high dose of MTX. The study will also evaluate the pharmacokinetics and safety of the two regimens of MTX in combination with adalimumab in subjects with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Non-inferiority of low dose MTX + adalimumab compared to high dose MTX + adalimumab, based on the Mean Disease Activity Score (DAS) 28 C-Reactive Protein (CRP) score in each treatment Arm at Week 24. [ Time Frame: 24 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Ultrasound (U/S) disease activity Power Doppler (PD) Score [ Time Frame: 24 Weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • American College of Rheumatology (ACR) 50/70 [ Time Frame: 24 Weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Health Assessment Questionnaire-Disability Index (HAQ-DI) and Medical Outcomes Sleep (MOS) Index II [ Time Frame: 24 Weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
