Study Summary

Primary Objective: The primary objective of this trial is to establish an equivalence in efficacy between BI 695501 and US-licensed Humira® in patients with active Rheumatoid arthritis based on a statistical comparison of the proportion of patients meeting American College of Rheumatology 20% (ACR20) response rate at Week 12 and ACR20 response rate at Week 24 between BI 695501 and US-licensed Humira®. Secondary Objectives: The secondary objectives of this trial are to compare the efficacy, safety and immunogenicity of BI 695501 and US-licensed Humira® in patients with active RA including those undergoing the transition from US-licensed Humira® to BI 695501 after 24 weeks.

Primary Outcome

The proportion of patients meeting the ACR20 response criteria was assessed. A patient had an ACR20 response if all of the following occurred: A ≥ 20 % improvement in the swollen joint count (66 joints), A ≥ 20 % improvement in the tender joint count (68 joints), A ≥ 20 % improvement in at least three of the following assessments: Patient's assessment of pain, Patient's global assessment of disease activity (equivalent to the General Health component of the Disease Activity Score (DAS)), Physici
