Global health care company Abbott has announced the results from Premier and DE019 Phase III studies.

 

The studies investigated Humira (adalimumab) plus methotrexate for up to eight years in patients with early moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis and up to ten years in patients with long-standing moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis.

 

Humira, a TNF blocker used alone, with methotrexate, or with certain other medicines, helps to prevent further damage to bones and joints.

 

The randomised and controlled Premier trial involved methotrexate-naive patients with early moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis, who received methotrexate, Humira or Humira plus methotrexate
