Study Summary

An interventional Phase 4 open-label, randomized, controlled, parallel-group, multi-country study in participants with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) consisting of 2 parts: Part 1 (Day 1 up to Week 16) is designed to compare the achievement of minimal disease activity (MDA) between participants randomized to either adalimumab in combination with methotrexate (MTX) or MTX alone escalated to the highest recommended or tolerable dose; Part 2 (Week 16 through Week 32) is designed to evaluate the maintenance or achievement of MDA on 4 different treatment regimens using adalimumab and/or MTX, with participant allocation based on the initial randomized treatment and achievement of MDA in Part 1, and with rescue treatment option.

Primary Outcome

Minimal disease activity (MDA) for psoriatic arthritis (PsA) was defined as fulfilling at least 5 of the following 7 criteria: tender and swollen joint counts (TJC) ≤ 1 (out of TJC68 assessed in this study), swollen joint count (SJC) ≤ 1 (out of SJC66 assessed in this study), Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) ≤ 1 or body surface area (BSA) ≤ 3; Patient's assessment of pain visual analogue scale (VAS) ≤ 15, Patient's global assessment of disease activity (PtGA) VAS ≤ 20, Health Assessment
