Study Summary

Primary Objective: To demonstrate that sarilumab monotherapy was superior to adalimumab monotherapy with respect to signs and symptoms as assessed by disease activity score 28 (DAS28)-erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) in participants with active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who were either intolerant of, or considered inappropriate candidates for continued treatment with methotrexate (MTX), or after at least 12 weeks of continued treatment with MTX, were determined to be inadequate responders. Secondary Objectives: To demonstrate that sarilumab monotherapy was superior to adalimumab monotherapy in participants with active RA who were either intolerant of, or considered inappropriate candidates for continued treatment with MTX, or after at least 12 weeks of continued treatment with MTX, were determined to be inadequate responders, with respect to: * Reduction of signs and symptoms of RA. * Improvement in quality of life assessed by participant reported outcome questionnaires. Assessment of the safety and tolerability of sarilumab monotherapy (including immunogenicity) throughout the study.

Primary Outcome

DAS28-ESR is a composite score that includes 4 variables: TJC (based on 28 joints); SJC (based on 28 joints); GH assessment by the participant assessed from the ACR and RA core set questionnaire (participant global assessment) in 100 mm VAS; Marker of inflammation assessed by ESR in mm/hr. The DAS28-ESR score provides a number indicating the current disease activity of the RA. DAS28-ESR total score ranges from 2-10. A DAS28-ESR score above 5.1 means high disease activity, DAS28-ESR score below 3
