The efficacy and safety of HUMIRA were assessed in five randomized, double-blind studies in patients >=18 years of age with active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) diagnosed according to American College of Rheumatology (ACR) criteria. Patients had at least swollen and tender joints. HUMIRA was administered subcutaneously in combination with methotrexate (MTX) (12.5 to 25 mg, Studies RA-I, RA-III and RA-V) or as monotherapy (Studies RA-II and RA-V) or with other disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) (Study RA-IV). Study RA-I evaluated 271 patients who had failed therapy with at least one but no more than four DMARDs and had inadequate response to MTX. Doses of 20, 40 or 80 mg of HUMIRA or placebo were given every other week for 24 weeks. Study RA-II evaluated 544 patients who had failed therapy with at least one DMARD. Doses of placebo, 20 or 40 mg of HUMIRA were given as monotherapy every other week or weekly for 26 weeks. Study RA-III evaluated 619 patients who had an inadequate response to MTX. Patients received placebo, 40 mg of HUMIRA every other week with placebo injections on alternate weeks, or 20 mg of HUMIRA weekly for up to 52 weeks. Study RA-III had an additional primary endpoint at 52 weeks of inhibition of disease progression (as detected by X-ray results). Upon completion of the first 52 weeks, 457 patients enrolled in an open-label extension phase in which 40 mg of HUMIRA was administered every other week for up to years. Study RA-IV assessed safety in 636 patients who were either DMARD-naive or were permitted to remain on their pre-existing rheumatologic therapy provided that therapy was stable for minimum of 28 days. Patients were randomized to 40 mg of HUMIRA or placebo every other week for 24 weeks. Study RA-V evaluated 799 patients with moderately to severely active RA of less than years duration who were >=18 years old and MTX naive. Patients were randomized to receive either MTX (optimized to 20 mg/week by week 8), HUMIRA 40 mg every other week or HUMIRA/MTX combination therapy for 104 weeks. Patients were evaluated for signs and symptoms, and for radiographic progression of joint damage. The median disease duration among patients enrolled in the study was months. The median MTX dose achieved was 20 mg. Clinical ResponseThe percent of HUMIRA treated patients achieving ACR 20, 50 and 70 responses in Studies RA-II and III are shown in Table 3. Table 3.

The results of the components of the ACR response criteria for Studies RA-II and RA-III are shown in Table 4. ACR response rates and improvement in all components of ACR response were maintained to week 104. Over the years in Study RA-III, 20% of HUMIRA patients receiving 40 mg every other week achieved major clinical response, defined as maintenance of an ACR 70 response over 6-month period. ACR responses were maintained in similar proportions of patients for up to years with continuous HUMIRA treatment in the open-label portion of Study RA-III. Table 4.

In Study RA-III, 85% of patients with ACR 20 responses at week 24 maintained the response at 52 weeks. The time course of ACR 20 response for Study RA-I and Study RA-II were similar. Figure 1. Study RA-III ACR 20 Responses over 52 WeeksIn Study RA-IV, 53% of patients treated with HUMIRA 40 mg every other week plus standard of care had an ACR 20 response at week 24 compared to 35% on placebo plus standard of care (p<0.001). No unique adverse reactions related to the combination of HUMIRA (adalimumab) and other DMARDs were observed. In Study RA-V with MTX naive patients with recent onset RA, the combination treatment with HUMIRA plus MTX led to greater percentages of patients achieving ACR responses than either MTX monotherapy or HUMIRA monotherapy at Week 52 and responses were sustained at Week 104 (see Table 5).

Radiographic ResponseIn Study RA-III, structural joint damage was assessed radiographically and expressed as change in Total Sharp Score (TSS) and its components, the erosion score and Joint Space Narrowing (JSN) score, at month 12 compared to baseline. At baseline, the median TSS was approximately 55 in the placebo and 40 mg every other week groups. The results are shown in Table 6. HUMIRA/MTX treated patients demonstrated less radiographic progression than patients receiving MTX alone at 52 weeks. Table 6.

Based on rank analysis In the open-label extension of Study RA-III, 77% of the original patients treated with any dose of HUMIRA were evaluated radiographically at years. Patients maintained inhibition of structural damage, as measured by the TSS. Fifty-four percent had no progression of structural damage as defined by change in the TSS of zero or less. Fifty-five percent (55%) of patients originally treated with 40 mg HUMIRA every other week have been evaluated radiographically at years. Patients had continued inhibition of structural damage with 50% showing no progression of structural damage defined by change in the TSS of zero or less. In Study RA-V, structural joint damage was assessed as in Study RA-III. Greater inhibition of radiographic progression, as assessed by changes in TSS, erosion score and JSN was observed in the HUMIRA/MTX combination group as compared to either the MTX or HUMIRA monotherapy group at Week 52 as well as at Week 104 (see Table 7).

Improvement was seen in both the Physical Component Summary (PCS) and the Mental Component Summary (MCS). In Study RA-III, the mean (95% CI) improvement in HAQ-DI from baseline at week 52 was 0.60 (0.55, 0.65) for the HUMIRA patients and 0.25 (0.17, 0.33) for placebo/MTX (p<0.001) patients. Sixty-three percent of HUMIRA-treated patients achieved 0.5 or greater improvement in HAQ-DI at week 52 in the double-blind portion of the study. Eighty-two percent of these patients maintained that improvement through week 104 and similar proportion of patients maintained this response through week 260 (5 years) of open-label treatment. Mean improvement in the SF-36 was maintained through the end of measurement at week 156 (3 years). In Study RA-V, the HAQ-DI and the physical component of the SF-36 showed greater improvement (p<0.001) for the HUMIRA/MTX combination therapy group versus either the MTX monotherapy or the HUMIRA monotherapy group at Week 52, which was maintained through Week 104. 14.2 Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis. The safety and efficacy of HUMIRA was assessed in two studies (Studies JIA-I and JIA-II) in patients with active polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). Study JIA-IThe safety and efficacy of HUMIRA were assessed in multicenter, randomized, withdrawal, double-blind, parallel-group study in 171 patients who were to 17 years of age with polyarticular JIA. In the study, the patients were stratified into two groups: MTX-treated or non-MTX-treated. All patients had to show signs of active moderate or severe disease despite previous treatment with NSAIDs, analgesics, corticosteroids, or DMARDS. Patients who received prior treatment with any biologic DMARDS were excluded from the study. The study included four phases: an open-label lead in phase (OL-LI; 16 weeks), double-blind randomized withdrawal phase (DB; 32 weeks), an open-label extension phase (OLE-BSA; up to 136 weeks), and an open-label fixed dose phase (OLE-FD; 16 weeks). In the first three phases of the study, HUMIRA was administered based on body surface area at dose of 24 mg/m2 up to maximum total body dose of 40 mg subcutaneously (SC) every other week. In the OLE-FD phase, the patients were treated with 20 mg of HUMIRA SC every other week if their weight was less than 30 kg and with 40 mg of HUMIRA SC every other week if their weight was 30 kg or greater. Patients remained on stable doses of NSAIDs and or prednisone (<=0.2 mg/kg/day or 10 mg/day maximum). Patients demonstrating Pediatric ACR 30 response at the end of OL-LI phase were randomized into the double blind (DB) phase of the study and received either HUMIRA or placebo every other week for 32 weeks or until disease flare. Disease flare was defined as worsening of >=30% from baseline in >=3 of Pediatric ACR core criteria, >=2 active joints, and improvement of >30% in no more than of the criteria. After 32 weeks or at the time of disease flare during the DB phase, patients were treated in the open-label extension phase based on the BSA regimen (OLE-BSA), before converting to fixed dose regimen based on body weight (OLE-FD phase). Study JIA-I Clinical ResponseAt the end of the 16-week OL-LI phase, 94% of the patients in the MTX stratum and 74% of the patients in the non-MTX stratum were Pediatric ACR 30 responders. In the DB phase significantly fewer patients who received HUMIRA experienced disease flare compared to placebo, both without MTX (43% vs. 71%) and with MTX (37% vs. 65%). More patients treated with HUMIRA continued to show pediatric ACR 30/50/70 responses at Week 48 compared to patients treated with placebo. Pediatric ACR responses were maintained for up to two years in the OLE phase in patients who received HUMIRA throughout the study. Study JIA-IIHUMIRA was assessed in an open-label, multicenter study in 32 patients who were to <4 years of age or years of age and older weighing <15 kg with moderately to severely active polyarticular JIA. Most patients (97%) received at least 24 weeks of HUMIRA treatment dosed 24 mg/m2 up to maximum of 20 mg every other week as single SC injection up to maximum of 120 weeks duration. During the study, most patients used concomitant MTX, with fewer reporting use of corticosteroids or NSAIDs. The primary objective of the study was evaluation of safety [see Adverse Reactions 6.1 ]. 14.3 Psoriatic Arthritis. The safety and efficacy of HUMIRA was assessed in two randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled studies in 413 patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA). Upon completion of both studies, 383 patients enrolled in an open-label extension study, in which 40 mg HUMIRA was administered every other week. Study PsA-I enrolled 313 adult patients with moderately to severely active PsA (>3 swollen and >3 tender joints) who had an inadequate response to NSAID therapy in one of the following forms: (1) distal interphalangeal (DIP) involvement (N=23); (2) polyarticular arthritis (absence of rheumatoid nodules and presence of plaque psoriasis) (N=210); (3) arthritis mutilans (N=1); (4) asymmetric PsA (N=77); or (5) AS-like (N=2). Patients on MTX therapy (158 of 313 patients) at enrollment (stable dose of <=30 mg/week for >1 month) could continue MTX at the same dose. Doses of HUMIRA 40 mg or placebo every other week were administered during the 24-week double-blind period of the study. Compared to placebo, treatment with HUMIRA resulted in improvements in the measures of disease activity (see Tables and 9). Among patients with PsA who received HUMIRA, the clinical responses were apparent in some patients at the time of the first visit (two weeks) and were maintained up to 88 weeks in the ongoing open-label study. Similar responses were seen in patients with each of the subtypes of psoriatic arthritis, although few patients were enrolled with the arthritis mutilans and ankylosing spondylitis-like subtypes. Responses were similar in patients who were or were not receiving concomitant MTX therapy at baseline. Patients with psoriatic involvement of at least three percent body surface area (BSA) were evaluated for Psoriatic Area and Severity Index (PASI) responses. At 24 weeks, the proportions of patients achieving 75% or 90% improvement in the PASI were 59% and 42% respectively, in the HUMIRA group (N=69), compared to 1% and 0% respectively, in the placebo group (N=69) (p<0.001). PASI responses were apparent in some patients at the time of the first visit (two weeks). Responses were similar in patients who were or were not receiving concomitant MTX therapy at baseline.

Radiographic ResponseRadiographic changes were assessed in the PsA studies. Radiographs of hands, wrists, and feet were obtained at baseline and Week 24 during the double-blind period when patients were on HUMIRA or placebo and at Week 48 when all patients were on open-label HUMIRA. modified Total Sharp Score (mTSS), which included distal interphalangeal joints (i.e., not identical to the TSS used for rheumatoid arthritis), was used by readers blinded to treatment group to assess the radiographs. HUMIRA-treated patients demonstrated greater inhibition of radiographic progression compared to placebo-treated patients and this effect was maintained at 48 weeks (see Table 10). Table 10.

Patients treated with 40 mg of HUMIRA every other week showed greater improvement from baseline in the HAQ-DI score (mean decreases of 47% and 49% at Weeks 12 and 24 respectively) in comparison to placebo (mean decreases of 1% and 3% at Weeks 12 and 24 respectively). At Weeks 12 and 24, patients treated with HUMIRA showed greater improvement from baseline in the SF-36 Physical Component Summary score compared to patients treated with placebo, and no worsening in the SF-36 Mental Component Summary score. Improvement in physical function based on the HAQ-DI was maintained for up to 84 weeks through the open-label portion of the study. 14.4 Ankylosing Spondylitis. The safety and efficacy of HUMIRA 40 mg every other week was assessed in 315 adult patients in randomized, 24 week double-blind, placebo-controlled study in patients with active ankylosing spondylitis (AS) who had an inadequate response to glucocorticoids, NSAIDs, analgesics, methotrexate or sulfasalazine. Active AS was defined as patients who fulfilled at least two of the following three criteria: (1) Bath AS disease activity index (BASDAI) score >=4 cm, (2) visual analog score (VAS) for total back pain >= 40 mm, and (3) morning stiffness >= hour. The blinded period was followed by an open-label period during which patients received HUMIRA 40 mg every other week subcutaneously for up to an additional 28 weeks. Improvement in measures of disease activity was first observed at Week and maintained through 24 weeks as shown in Figure and Table 11. Responses of patients with total spinal ankylosis (n=11) were similar to those without total ankylosis. Figure 2. ASAS 20 Response By Visit, Study AS-IAt 12 weeks, the ASAS 20/50/70 responses were achieved by 58%, 38%, and 23%, respectively, of patients receiving HUMIRA, compared to 21%, 10%, and 5% respectively, of patients receiving placebo (p <0.001). Similar responses were seen at Week 24 and were sustained in patients receiving open-label HUMIRA for up to 52 weeks. greater proportion of patients treated with HUMIRA (22%) achieved low level of disease activity at 24 weeks (defined as value <20 [on scale of to 100 mm] in each of the four ASAS response parameters) compared to patients treated with placebo (6%).

Patients treated with HUMIRA achieved improvement from baseline in the Ankylosing Spondylitis Quality of Life Questionnaire (ASQoL) score (-3.6 vs. -1.1) and in the Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) Physical Component Summary (PCS) score (7.4 vs. 1.9) compared to placebo-treated patients at Week 24. 14.5 Adult Crohns Disease. The safety and efficacy of multiple doses of HUMIRA were assessed in adult patients with moderately to severely active Crohns disease, CD, (Crohns Disease Activity Index (CDAI) >= 220 and <= 450) in randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies. Concomitant stable doses of aminosalicylates, corticosteroids, and/or immunomodulatory agents were permitted, and 79% of patients continued to receive at least one of these medications. Induction of clinical remission (defined as CDAI 150) was evaluated in two studies. In Study CD-I, 299 TNF-blocker naive patients were randomized to one of four treatment groups: the placebo group received placebo at Weeks and 2, the 160/80 group received 160 mg HUMIRA at Week and 80 mg at Week 2, the 80/40 group received 80 mg at Week and 40 mg at Week 2, and the 40/20 group received 40 mg at Week and 20 mg at Week 2. Clinical results were assessed at Week 4. In the second induction study, Study CD-II, 325 patients who had lost response to, or were intolerant to, previous infliximab therapy were randomized to receive either 160 mg HUMIRA at Week and 80 mg at Week 2, or placebo at Weeks and 2. Clinical results were assessed at Week 4. Maintenance of clinical remission was evaluated in Study CD-III. In this study, 854 patients with active disease received open-label HUMIRA, 80 mg at week and 40 mg at Week 2. Patients were then randomized at Week to 40 mg HUMIRA every other week, 40 mg HUMIRA every week, or placebo. The total study duration was 56 weeks. Patients in clinical response (decrease in CDAI >=70) at Week were stratified and analyzed separately from those not in clinical response at Week 4. Induction of Clinical RemissionA greater percentage of the patients treated with 160/80 mg HUMIRA achieved induction of clinical remission versus placebo at Week regardless of whether the patients were TNF blocker naive (CD-I), or had lost response to or were intolerant to infliximab (CD-II) (see Table 12).

At Weeks 26 and 56, greater proportions of patients who were in clinical response at Week achieved clinical remission in the HUMIRA 40 mg every other week maintenance group compared to patients in the placebo maintenance group (see Table 13). The group that received HUMIRA therapy every week did not demonstrate significantly higher remission rates compared to the group that received HUMIRA every other week. Table 13.

Among patients who were not in response by Week 12, therapy continued beyond 12 weeks did not result in significantly more responses. 14.6 Pediatric Crohns Disease A randomized, double-blind, 52-week clinical study of dose concentrations of HUMIRA (Study PCD-I) was conducted in 192 pediatric patients (6 to 17 years of age) with moderately to severely active Crohns disease (defined as Pediatric Crohns Disease Activity Index (PCDAI) score 30). Enrolled patients had over the previous two year period an inadequate response to corticosteroids or an immunomodulator (i.e., azathioprine, 6-mercaptopurine, or methotrexate). Patients who had previously received TNF blocker were allowed to enroll if they had previously had loss of response or intolerance to that TNF blocker. Patients received open-label induction therapy at dose based on their body weight (>=40 kg and <40 kg). Patients weighing >=40 kg received 160 mg (at Week 0) and 80 mg (at Week 2). Patients weighing <40 kg received 80 mg (at Week 0) and 40 mg (at Week 2). At Week 4, patients within each body weight category (>=40 kg and <40 kg) were randomized 1:1 to one of two maintenance dose regimens (high dose and low dose). The high dose was 40 mg every other week for patients weighing >=40 kg and 20 mg every other week for patients weighing <40 kg. The low dose was 20 mg every other week for patients weighing >=40 kg and 10 mg every other week for patients weighing <40 kg. Concomitant stable dosages of corticosteroids (prednisone dosage <=40 mg/day or equivalent) and immunomodulators (azathioprine, 6-mercaptopurine, or methotrexate) were permitted throughout the study. At Week 12, patients who experienced disease flare (increase in PCDAI of >= 15 from Week and absolute PCDAI 30) or who were non-responders (did not achieve decrease in the PCDAI of >= 15 from baseline for consecutive visits at least weeks apart) were allowed to dose-escalate (i.e., switch from blinded every other week dosing to blinded every week dosing); patients who dose-escalated were considered treatment failures. At baseline, 38% of patients were receiving corticosteroids, and 62% of patients were receiving an immunomodulator. Forty-four percent (44%) of patients had previously lost response or were intolerant to TNF blocker. The median baseline PCDAI score was 40. Of the 192 patients total, 188 patients completed the week induction period, 152 patients completed 26 weeks of treatment, and 124 patients completed 52 weeks of treatment. Fifty-one percent (51%) (48/95) of patients in the low maintenance dose group dose-escalated, and 38% (35/93) of patients in the high maintenance dose group dose-escalated. At Week 4, 28% (52/188) of patients were in clinical remission (defined as PCDAI <= 10). The proportions of patients in clinical remission (defined as PCDAI <= 10) and clinical response (defined as reduction in PCDAI of at least 15 points from baseline) were assessed at Weeks 26 and 52. At both Weeks 26 and 52, the proportion of patients in clinical remission and clinical response was numerically higher in the high dose group compared to the low dose group (Table 14). The recommended maintenance regimen is 20 mg every other week for patients weighing 40 kg and 40 mg every other week for patients weighing >= 40 kg. Every week dosing is not the recommended maintenance dosing regimen [see Dosage and Administration 2.3 ]. Table 14.

The high maintenance dose was 40 mg every other week for patients weighing >= 40 kg and 20 mg every other week for patients weighing 40 kg. Clinical remission defined as PCDAI <= 10. Clinical response defined as reduction in PCDAI of at least 15 points from baseline. 14.7 Adult Ulcerative Colitis. The safety and efficacy of HUMIRA were assessed in adult patients with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (Mayo score to 12 on 12 point scale, with an endoscopy subscore of to on scale of to 3) despite concurrent or prior treatment with immunosuppressants such as corticosteroids, azathioprine, or 6-MP in two randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical studies (Studies UC-I and UC-II). Both studies enrolled TNF-blocker naive patients, but Study UC-II also allowed entry of patients who lost response to or were intolerant to TNF-blockers. Forty percent (40%) of patients enrolled in Study UC-II had previously used another TNF-blocker. Concomitant stable doses of aminosalicylates and immunosuppressants were permitted. In Studies UC-I and II, patients were receiving aminosalicylates (69%), corticosteroids (59%) and/or azathioprine or 6-MP (37%) at baseline. In both studies, 92% of patients received at least one of these medications. Induction of clinical remission (defined as Mayo score <= with no individual subscores 1) at Week was evaluated in both studies. Clinical remission at Week 52 and sustained clinical remission (defined as clinical remission at both Weeks and 52) were evaluated in Study UC-II. In Study UC-I, 390 TNF-blocker naive patients were randomized to one of three treatment groups for the primary efficacy analysis. The placebo group received placebo at Weeks 0, 2, and 6. The 160/80 group received 160 mg HUMIRA at Week and 80 mg at Week 2, and the 80/40 group received 80 mg HUMIRA at Week and 40 mg at Week 2. After Week 2, patients in both HUMIRA treatment groups received 40 mg every other week. In Study UC-II, 518 patients were randomized to receive either HUMIRA 160 mg at Week 0, 80 mg at Week 2, and 40 mg every other week starting at Week through Week 50, or placebo starting at Week and every other week through Week 50. Corticosteroid taper was permitted starting at Week 8. In both Studies UC-I and UC-II, greater percentage of the patients treated with 160/80 mg of HUMIRA compared to patients treated with placebo achieved induction of clinical remission. In Study UC-II, greater percentage of the patients treated with 160/80 mg of HUMIRA compared to patients treated with placebo achieved sustained clinical remission (clinical remission at both Weeks and 52) (Table 15). Table 15.

In Study UC-II, 17.3% (43/248) in the HUMIRA group were in clinical remission at Week 52 compared to 8.5% (21/246) in the placebo group (treatment difference: 8.8%; 95% confidence interval (CI): [2.8%, 14.5%]; p<0.05). In the subgroup of patients in Study UC-II with prior TNF-blocker use, the treatment difference for induction of clinical remission appeared to be lower than that seen in the whole study population, and the treatment differences for sustained clinical remission and clinical remission at Week 52 appeared to be similar to those seen in the whole study population. The subgroup of patients with prior TNF-blocker use achieved induction of clinical remission at 9% (9/98) in the HUMIRA group versus 7% (7/101) in the placebo group, and sustained clinical remission at 5% (5/98) in the HUMIRA group versus 1% (1/101) in the placebo group. In the subgroup of patients with prior TNF-blocker use, 10% (10/98) were in clinical remission at Week 52 in the HUMIRA group versus 3% (3/101) in the placebo group.. 14.8 Pediatric Ulcerative Colitis. The safety and efficacy of HUMIRA were assessed in multicenter, randomized, double-blind trial (Study PUC-I, NCT02065557) in 93 pediatric patients years to 17 years of age with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (Mayo score to 12 with endoscopy subscore of to points, confirmed by centrally read endoscopy) who had an inadequate response or intolerance to therapy with corticosteroids and/or an immunomodulator (i.e., azathioprine, 6-mercaptopurine, or methotrexate). Fifteen out of 93 patients (16%) in the study had prior experience with TNF blocker. Patients who received corticosteroids at enrollment were allowed to taper their corticosteroid therapy after Week 4.Seventy-seven patients were initially randomized 3:2 to receive double-blind treatment with one of two dosages of HUMIRA. Patients in both dosage groups received 2.4 mg/kg (maximum of 160 mg) at Week 0, 1.2 mg/kg (maximum of 80 mg) at Week 2, and 0.6 mg/kg (maximum of 40 mg) at Weeks and 6. The higher dosage group also received an additional dosage of 2.4 mg/kg (maximum of 160 mg) at Week 1. Following an amendment to the study design, 16 additional patients were enrolled and received open-label treatment with HUMIRA at the higher dosage. At Week 8, 62 patients who demonstrated clinical response per Partial Mayo Score (PMS; subset of the Mayo score with no endoscopic component and defined as decrease in PMS >= points and >= 30% from baseline) were randomized equally to receive double-blind treatment with HUMIRA 0.6 mg/kg (maximum of 40 mg) every other week (lower dosage group), or 0.6 mg/kg (maximum of 40 mg) every week (higher dosage group). Prior to an amendment to the study design, 12 additional patients who demonstrated clinical response per PMS were randomized to receive placebo.There are no anticipated clinically relevant differences in efficacy between the studied higher dosage administered during the 52-week PUC-I trial and the recommended dosage of HUMIRA [see Dosage and Administration 2.4 , Clinical Pharmacology 12.2 ]. Patients who met criteria for disease flare at or after Week 12 were randomized to receive re-induction dose of 2.4 mg/kg (maximum of 160 mg) or dose of 0.6 mg/kg (maximum of 40 mg) and then continued the dose to which they were randomized at Week 8.The co-primary endpoints of the study were clinical remission per PMS (defined as PMS <= and no individual subscore 1) at Week 8, and clinical remission per the Mayo Score (defined as Mayo Score <= and no individual subscore 1) at Week 52 in patients who achieved clinical response per PMS at Week 8. Secondary endpoints included Mayo Score response (defined as decrease in Mayo Score of >= points and >= 30% from baseline) at Week 52 in Week PMS responders, endoscopic improvement (defined as Mayo endoscopy subscore <= 1) at Week 52 in Week PMS responders, and Mayo Score remission at Week 52 in Week PMS remitters. Week ResultsAt Week 8, PMS remission was achieved by 60% [28/47; 95% confidence interval (CI): (44%, 74%)] of patients in the higher dosage group (not including the 16 patients receiving open-label higher dosage) and 43% [13/30; 95% CI: (25%, 63%)] of patients in the lower dosage group. Results from the higher dosage group are representative of the results expected with the recommended dosage [see Dosage and Administra tion 2.4 , Clinical Pharmacology 12.2 ] Week 52 Results At Week 52, endpoints were assessed in the population of patients who received double-blind placebo, HUMIRA 0.6 mg/kg (maximum of 40 mg) every other week, or HUMIRA 0.6 mg/kg (maximum of 40 mg) every week between Week and Week 52 (Table 16).Table 16.

There are limitations to the interpretability of the placebo data due to the small sample size. The every other week dosage studied during the 52-week PUC-I trial is lower dosage than the recommended dosage of HUMIRA [see Dosage and Administration 2.4 ]. There are no anticipated clinically relevant differences in efficacy between the studied higher dosage administered during the 52-week PUC-I trial and the recommended dosage of HUMIRA.Note: Patients with missing values at Week 52 or who were randomized to receive re-induction or maintenance treatment due to disease flare were considered non-responders for Week 52 endpoints.. 14.9 Plaque Psoriasis. The safety and efficacy of HUMIRA were assessed in randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies in 1696 adult subjects with moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis (Ps) who were candidates for systemic therapy or phototherapy. Study Ps-I evaluated 1212 subjects with chronic Ps with >=10% body surface area (BSA) involvement, Physicians Global Assessment (PGA) of at least moderate disease severity, and Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) >=12 within three treatment periods. In period A, subjects received placebo or HUMIRA at an initial dose of 80 mg at Week followed by dose of 40 mg every other week starting at Week 1. After 16 weeks of therapy, subjects who achieved at least PASI 75 response at Week 16, defined as PASI score improvement of at least 75% relative to baseline, entered period and received open-label 40 mg HUMIRA every other week. After 17 weeks of open label therapy, subjects who maintained at least PASI 75 response at Week 33 and were originally randomized to active therapy in period were re-randomized in period to receive 40 mg HUMIRA every other week or placebo for an additional 19 weeks. Across all treatment groups the mean baseline PASI score was 19 and the baseline Physicians Global Assessment score ranged from moderate (53%) to severe (41%) to very severe (6%). Study Ps-II evaluated 99 subjects randomized to HUMIRA and 48 subjects randomized to placebo with chronic plaque psoriasis with >=10% BSA involvement and PASI >=12. Subjects received placebo, or an initial dose of 80 mg HUMIRA at Week followed by 40 mg every other week starting at Week for 16 weeks. Across all treatment groups the mean baseline PASI score was 21 and the baseline PGA score ranged from moderate (41%) to severe (51%) to very severe (8%). Studies Ps-I and II evaluated the proportion of subjects who achieved clear or minimal disease on the 6-point PGA scale and the proportion of subjects who achieved reduction in PASI score of at least 75% (PASI 75) from baseline at Week 16 (see Table 17 and 18). Additionally, Study Ps-I evaluated the proportion of subjects who maintained PGA of clear or minimal disease or PASI 75 response after Week 33 and on or before Week 52. Table 17.

After 52 weeks of treatment with HUMIRA, more subjects on HUMIRA maintained efficacy when compared to subjects who were re-randomized to placebo based on maintenance of PGA of clear or minimal disease (68% vs. 28%) or PASI 75 (79% vs. 43%). total of 347 stable responders participated in withdrawal and retreatment evaluation in an open-label extension study. Median time to relapse (decline to PGA moderate or worse) was approximately months. During the withdrawal period, no subject experienced transformation to either pustular or erythrodermic psoriasis. total of 178 subjects who relapsed re-initiated treatment with 80 mg of HUMIRA, then 40 mg every other week beginning at week 1. At week 16, 69% (123/178) of subjects had response of PGA clear or minimal. randomized, double-blind study (Study Ps-III) compared the efficacy and safety of HUMIRA versus placebo in 217 adult subjects. Subjects in the study had to have chronic plaque psoriasis of at least moderate severity on the PGA scale, fingernail involvement of at least moderate severity on 5-point Physicians Global Assessment of Fingernail Psoriasis (PGA-F) scale, Modified Nail Psoriasis Severity Index (mNAPSI) score for the target-fingernail of >= 8, and either BSA involvement of at least 10% or BSA involvement of at least 5% with total mNAPSI score for all fingernails of >= 20. Subjects received an initial dose of 80 mg HUMIRA followed by 40 mg every other week (starting one week after the initial dose) or placebo for 26 weeks followed by open-label HUMIRA treatment for an additional 26 weeks. This study evaluated the proportion of subjects who achieved clear or minimal assessment with at least 2-grade improvement on the PGA-F scale and the proportion of subjects who achieved at least 75% improvement from baseline in the mNAPSI score (mNAPSI 75) at Week 26. At Week 26, higher proportion of subjects in the HUMIRA group than in the placebo group achieved the PGA-F endpoint. Furthermore, higher proportion of subjects in the HUMIRA group than in the placebo group achieved mNAPSI 75 at Week 26 (see Table 19). Table 19.

Nail pain was also evaluated and improvement in nail pain was observed in Study Ps-III. 14.10 Hidradenitis Suppurativa. Two randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies (Studies HS-I and II) evaluated the safety and efficacy of HUMIRA in total of 633 adult subjects with moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) with Hurley Stage II or III disease and with at least abscesses or inflammatory nodules. In both studies, subjects received placebo or HUMIRA at an initial dose of 160 mg at Week 0, 80 mg at Week 2, and 40 mg every week starting at Week and continued through Week 11. Subjects used topical antiseptic wash daily. Concomitant oral antibiotic use was allowed in Study HS-II. Both studies evaluated Hidradenitis Suppurativa Clinical Response (HiSCR) at Week 12. HiSCR was defined as at least 50% reduction in total abscess and inflammatory nodule count with no increase in abscess count and no increase in draining fistula count relative to baseline (see Table 18). Reduction in HS-related skin pain was assessed using Numeric Rating Scale in patients who entered the study with an initial baseline score of or greater on 11 point scale. In both studies, higher proportion of HUMIRA- than placebo-treated subjects achieved HiSCR (see Table 20). Table 20. Efficacy Results at 12 Weeks in Subjects with Moderate to Severe Hidradenitis Suppurativa HS Study IHS Study II PlaceboHumira 40 mg WeeklyPlaceboHumira 40 mg WeeklyHidradenitis Suppurativa Clinical Response (HiSCR)N 15440 (26%) = 15364 (42%) N=16345 (28%) N=16396 (59%) 19.3% of subjects in Study HS-II continued baseline oral antibiotic therapy during the study. In both studies, from Week 12 to Week 35 (Period B), subjects who had received HUMIRA were re-randomized to of treatment groups (HUMIRA 40 mg every week, HUMIRA 40 mg every other week, or placebo). Subjects who had been randomized to placebo were assigned to receive HUMIRA 40 mg every week (Study HS-I) or placebo (Study HS-II). During Period B, flare of HS, defined as >=25% increase from baseline in abscesses and inflammatory nodule counts and with minimum of additional lesions, was documented in 22 (22%) of the 100 subjects who were withdrawn from HUMIRA treatment following the primary efficacy timepoint in two studies. 14.11 Adult Uveitis. The safety and efficacy of HUMIRA were assessed in adult patients with non-infectious intermediate, posterior and panuveitis excluding patients with isolated anterior uveitis, in two randomized, double-masked, placebo-controlled studies (UV and II). Patients received placebo or HUMIRA at an initial dose of 80 mg followed by 40 mg every other week starting one week after the initial dose. The primary efficacy endpoint in both studies was time to treatment failure. Treatment failure was multi-component outcome defined as the development of new inflammatory chorioretinal and/or inflammatory retinal vascular lesions, an increase in anterior chamber (AC) cell grade or vitreous haze (VH) grade or decrease in best corrected visual acuity (BCVA). Study UV evaluated 217 patients with active uveitis while being treated with corticosteroids (oral prednisone at dose of 10 to 60 mg/day). All patients received standardized dose of prednisone 60 mg/day at study entry followed by mandatory taper schedule, with complete corticosteroid discontinuation by Week 15. Study UV II evaluated 226 patients with inactive uveitis while being treated with corticosteroids (oral prednisone 10 to 35 mg/day) at baseline to control their disease. Patients subsequently underwent mandatory taper schedule, with complete corticosteroid discontinuation by Week 19. Clinical ResponseResults from both studies demonstrated statistically significant reduction of the risk of treatment failure in patients treated with HUMIRA versus patients receiving placebo. In both studies, all components of the primary endpoint contributed cumulatively to the overall difference between HUMIRA and placebo groups (Table 21). Table 21.

The safety and efficacy of HUMIRA were assessed in randomized, double-masked, placebo-controlled study of 90 pediatric patients from to 18 years of age with active JIA-associated non-infectious uveitis (PUV-I). Patients received either placebo or 20 mg adalimumab (if 30 kg) or 40 mg adalimumab (if >= 30 kg) every other week in combination with dose of methotrexate. Concomitant dosages of corticosteroids were permitted at study entry followed by mandatory reduction in topical corticosteroids within months. The primary endpoint was time to treatment failure. The criteria determining treatment failure were worsening or sustained non-improvement in ocular inflammation, or worsening of ocular co-morbidities. Clinical ResponseHUMIRA significantly decreased the risk of treatment failure by 75% relative to placebo (HR 0.25 [95% CI: 0.12, 0.49]) (Table 22). Table 22.

ADVERSE REACTIONS SECTION.


6 ADVERSE REACTIONS. The following clinically significant adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling: Serious Infections [see Warnings and Precautions 5.1 ] Malignancies [see Warnings and Precautions 5.2 ] Hypersensitivity Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions 5.3 ] Hepatitis Virus Reactivation [see Warnings and Precautions 5.4 ] Neurologic Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions 5.5 ] Hematological Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions 5.6 ] Heart Failure [see Warnings and Precautions 5.8 ] Autoimmunity [see Warnings and Precautions 5.9 ] Serious Infections [see Warnings and Precautions 5.1 ] Malignancies [see Warnings and Precautions 5.2 ] Hypersensitivity Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions 5.3 ] Hepatitis Virus Reactivation [see Warnings and Precautions 5.4 ] Neurologic Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions 5.5 ] Hematological Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions 5.6 ] Heart Failure [see Warnings and Precautions 5.8 ] Autoimmunity [see Warnings and Precautions 5.9 ] Most common adverse reactions (>10%) are: infections (e.g. upper respiratory, sinusitis), injection site reactions, headache and rash. (6.1) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact AbbVie Inc. at 1-800-633-9110 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch. 6.1 Clinical Trials Experience. Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. The most common adverse reaction with HUMIRA was injection site reactions. In placebo-controlled trials, 20% of patients treated with HUMIRA developed injection site reactions (erythema and/or itching, hemorrhage, pain or swelling), compared to 14% of patients receiving placebo. Most injection site reactions were described as mild and generally did not necessitate drug discontinuation. The proportion of patients who discontinued treatment due to adverse reactions during the double-blind, placebo-controlled portion of studies in patients with RA (i.e., Studies RA-I, RA-II, RA-III and RA-IV) was 7% for patients taking HUMIRA and 4% for placebo-treated patients. The most common adverse reactions leading to discontinuation of HUMIRA in these RA studies were clinical flare reaction (0.7%), rash (0.3%) and pneumonia (0.3%). InfectionsIn the controlled portions of the 39 global HUMIRA clinical trials in adult patients with RA, PsA, AS, CD, UC, Ps, HS and UV, the rate of serious infections was 4.3 per 100 patient-years in 7973 HUMIRA-treated patients versus rate of 2.9 per 100 patient-years in 4848 control-treated patients. Serious infections observed included pneumonia, septic arthritis, prosthetic and post-surgical infections, erysipelas, cellulitis, diverticulitis, and pyelonephritis [see Warnings and Precautions 5.1 ]. Tuberculosis and Opportunistic InfectionsIn 52 global controlled and uncontrolled clinical trials in RA, PsA, AS, CD, UC, Ps, HS and UV that included 24,605 HUMIRA-treated patients, the rate of reported active tuberculosis was 0.20 per 100 patient-years and the rate of positive PPD conversion was 0.09 per 100 patient-years. In subgroup of 10,113 U.S. and Canadian HUMIRA-treated patients, the rate of reported active TB was 0.05 per 100 patient-years and the rate of positive PPD conversion was 0.07 per 100 patient-years. These trials included reports of miliary, lymphatic, peritoneal, and pulmonary TB. Most of the TB cases occurred within the first eight months after initiation of therapy and may reflect recrudescence of latent disease. In these global clinical trials, cases of serious opportunistic infections have been reported at an overall rate of 0.05 per 100 patient-years. Some cases of serious opportunistic infections and TB have been fatal [see Warnings and Precautions 5.1 ]. AutoantibodiesIn the rheumatoid arthritis controlled trials, 12% of patients treated with HUMIRA and 7% of placebo-treated patients that had negative baseline ANA titers developed positive titers at week 24. Two patients out of 3046 treated with HUMIRA developed clinical signs suggestive of new-onset lupus-like syndrome. The patients improved following discontinuation of therapy. No patients developed lupus nephritis or central nervous system symptoms. The impact of long-term treatment with HUMIRA on the development of autoimmune diseases is unknown. Liver Enzyme Elevations There have been reports of severe hepatic reactions including acute liver failure in patients receiving TNF-blockers. In controlled Phase trials of HUMIRA (40 mg SC every other week) in patients with RA, PsA, and AS with control period duration ranging from to 104 weeks, ALT elevations >= x ULN occurred in 3.5% of HUMIRA-treated patients and 1.5% of control-treated patients. Since many of these patients in these trials were also taking medications that cause liver enzyme elevations (e.g., NSAIDS, MTX), the relationship between HUMIRA and the liver enzyme elevations is not clear. In controlled Phase trial of HUMIRA in patients with polyarticular JIA who were to 17 years, ALT elevations >= x ULN occurred in 4.4% of HUMIRA-treated patients and 1.5% of control-treated patients (ALT more common than AST); liver enzyme test elevations were more frequent among those treated with the combination of HUMIRA and MTX than those treated with HUMIRA alone. In general, these elevations did not lead to discontinuation of HUMIRA treatment. No ALT elevations >= x ULN occurred in the open-label study of HUMIRA in patients with polyarticular JIA who were to <4 years. In controlled Phase trials of HUMIRA (initial doses of 160 mg and 80 mg, or 80 mg and 40 mg on Days and 15, respectively, followed by 40 mg every other week) in adult patients with Crohns Disease with control period duration ranging from to 52 weeks, ALT elevations >= x ULN occurred in 0.9% of HUMIRA-treated patients and 0.9% of control-treated patients. In the Phase trial of HUMIRA in pediatric patients with Crohns disease which evaluated efficacy and safety of two body weight based maintenance dose regimens following body weight based induction therapy up to 52 weeks of treatment, ALT elevations >= x ULN occurred in 2.6% (5/192) of patients, of whom were receiving concomitant immunosuppressants at baseline; none of these patients discontinued due to abnormalities in ALT tests. In controlled Phase trials of HUMIRA (initial doses of 160 mg and 80 mg on Days and 15 respectively, followed by 40 mg every other week) in adult patients with UC with control period duration ranging from to 52 weeks, ALT elevations >=3 ULN occurred in 1.5% of HUMIRA-treated patients and 1.0% of control-treated patients. In the controlled Phase trial of HUMIRA in patients with pediatric ulcerative colitis (N=93), which evaluated efficacy and safety of maintenance dose of 0.6 mg/kg (maximum of 40 mg) every other week (N=31) and maintenance dose of 0.6 mg/kg (maximum of 40 mg) every week (N=32), following body weight based induction doses of 2.4 mg/kg (maximum of 160 mg) at Week and Week 1, and 1.2 mg/kg (maximum of 80 mg) at Week (N=63), or an induction dose of 2.4 mg/kg (maximum of 160 mg) at Week 0, placebo at Week 1, and 1.2 mg/kg (maximum of 80 mg) at Week (N=30), ALT elevations >= X ULN occurred in 1.1% (1/93) of patients. In controlled Phase trials of HUMIRA (initial dose of 80 mg then 40 mg every other week) in patients with Ps with control period duration ranging from 12 to 24 weeks, ALT elevations >= x ULN occurred in 1.8% of HUMIRA-treated patients and 1.8% of control-treated patients. In controlled trials of HUMIRA (initial doses of 160 mg at Week and 80 mg at Week 2, followed by 40 mg every week starting at Week 4), in subjects with HS with control period duration ranging from 12 to 16 weeks, ALT elevations >= x ULN occurred in 0.3% of HUMIRA-treated subjects and 0.6% of control-treated subjects. In controlled trials of HUMIRA (initial doses of 80 mg at Week followed by 40 mg every other week starting at Week 1) in adult patients with uveitis with an exposure of 165.4 PYs and 119.8 PYs in HUMIRA-treated and control-treated patients, respectively, ALT elevations >= x ULN occurred in 2.4% of HUMIRA-treated patients and 2.4% of control-treated patients. Other Adverse ReactionsRheumatoid Arthritis Clinical StudiesThe data described below reflect exposure to HUMIRA in 2468 patients, including 2073 exposed for months, 1497 exposed for greater than one year and 1380 in adequate and well-controlled studies (Studies RA-I, RA-II, RA-III, and RA-IV). HUMIRA was studied primarily in placebo-controlled trials and in long-term follow up studies for up to 36 months duration. The population had mean age of 54 years, 77% were female, 91% were Caucasian and had moderately to severely active rheumatoid arthritis. Most patients received 40 mg HUMIRA every other week [see Clinical Studies 14.1 ]. Table summarizes reactions reported at rate of at least 5% in patients treated with HUMIRA 40 mg every other week compared to placebo and with an incidence higher than placebo. In Study RA-III, the types and frequencies of adverse reactions in the second year open-label extension were similar to those observed in the one-year double-blind portion. Table 1.

Important findings and differences from adults are discussed in the following paragraphs. In Study JIA-I, HUMIRA was studied in 171 patients who were to 17 years of age, with polyarticular JIA. Severe adverse reactions reported in the study included neutropenia, streptococcal pharyngitis, increased aminotransferases, herpes zoster, myositis, metrorrhagia, and appendicitis. Serious infections were observed in 4% of patients within approximately years of initiation of treatment with HUMIRA and included cases of herpes simplex, pneumonia, urinary tract infection, pharyngitis, and herpes zoster. In Study JIA-I, 45% of patients experienced an infection while receiving HUMIRA with or without concomitant MTX in the first 16 weeks of treatment. The types of infections reported in HUMIRA-treated patients were generally similar to those commonly seen in polyarticular JIA patients who are not treated with TNF blockers. Upon initiation of treatment, the most common adverse reactions occurring in this patient population treated with HUMIRA were injection site pain and injection site reaction (19% and 16%, respectively). less commonly reported adverse event in patients receiving HUMIRA was granuloma annulare which did not lead to discontinuation of HUMIRA treatment. In the first 48 weeks of treatment in Study JIA-I, non-serious hypersensitivity reactions were seen in approximately 6% of patients and included primarily localized allergic hypersensitivity reactions and allergic rash. In Study JIA-I, 10% of patients treated with HUMIRA who had negative baseline anti-dsDNA antibodies developed positive titers after 48 weeks of treatment. No patient developed clinical signs of autoimmunity during the clinical trial. Approximately 15% of patients treated with HUMIRA developed mild-to-moderate elevations of creatine phosphokinase (CPK) in Study JIA-I. Elevations exceeding times the upper limit of normal were observed in several patients. CPK concentrations decreased or returned to normal in all patients. Most patients were able to continue HUMIRA without interruption. In Study JIA-II, HUMIRA was studied in 32 patients who were to <4 years of age or years of age and older weighing <15 kg with polyarticular JIA. The safety profile for this patient population was similar to the safety profile seen in patients to 17 years of age with polyarticular JIA. In Study JIA-II, 78% of patients experienced an infection while receiving HUMIRA. These included nasopharyngitis, bronchitis, upper respiratory tract infection, otitis media, and were mostly mild to moderate in severity. Serious infections were observed in 9% of patients receiving HUMIRA in the study and included dental caries, rotavirus gastroenteritis, and varicella. In Study JIA-II, non-serious allergic reactions were observed in 6% of patients and included intermittent urticaria and rash, which were all mild in severity. Psoriatic Arthritis and Ankylosing Spondylitis Clinical StudiesHUMIRA has been studied in 395 patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) in two placebo-controlled trials and in an open label study and in 393 patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) in two placebo-controlled studies [see Clinical Studies 14.3 14.4 )]. The safety profile for patients with PsA and AS treated with HUMIRA 40 mg every other week was similar to the safety profile seen in patients with RA, HUMIRA Studies RA-I through IV. Crohns Disease Clinical StudiesAdults: The safety profile of HUMIRA in 1478 adult patients with Crohns disease from four placebo-controlled and two open-label extension studies [see Clinical Studies 14.5 ] was similar to the safety profile seen in patients with RA. Pediatric Patients Years to 17 Years: The safety profile of HUMIRA in 192 pediatric patients from one double-blind study (Study PCD-I) and one open-label extension study [see Clinical Studies (14.6)] was similar to the safety profile seen in adult patients with Crohns disease. During the 4-week open label induction phase of Study PCD-I, the most common adverse reactions occurring in the pediatric population treated with HUMIRA were injection site pain and injection site reaction (6% and 5%, respectively). total of 67% of children experienced an infection while receiving HUMIRA in Study PCD-I. These included upper respiratory tract infection and nasopharyngitis. total of 5% of children experienced serious infection while receiving HUMIRA in Study PCD-I. These included viral infection, device related sepsis (catheter), gastroenteritis, H1N1 influenza, and disseminated histoplasmosis. In Study PCD-I, allergic reactions were observed in 5% of children which were all non-serious and were primarily localized reactions. Ulcerative Colitis Clinical StudiesAdults: The safety profile of HUMIRA in 1010 adult patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) from two placebo-controlled studies and one open-label extension study [see Clinical Studies (14.7)] was similar to the safety profile seen in patients with RA.Pediatric Patients Years to 17 Years: The safety profile of HUMIRA in 93 pediatric patients with ulcerative colitis from one double-blind study and one open-label extension study [see Clinical Studies (14.8)] was similar to the safety profile seen in adult patients with ulcerative colitis.Plaque Psoriasis Clinical StudiesHUMIRA has been studied in 1696 subjects with plaque psoriasis (Ps) in placebo-controlled and open-label extension studies [see Clinical Studies 14.9 ]. The safety profile for subjects with Ps treated with HUMIRA was similar to the safety profile seen in subjects with RA with the following exceptions. In the placebo-controlled portions of the clinical trials in Ps subjects, HUMIRA-treated subjects had higher incidence of arthralgia when compared to controls (3% vs. 1%). Hidradenitis Suppurativa Clinical StudiesHUMIRA has been studied in 727 subjects with hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) in three placebo-controlled studies and one open-label extension study [see Clinical Studies 14.10 ]. The safety profile for subjects with HS treated with HUMIRA weekly was consistent with the known safety profile of HUMIRA. Flare of HS, defined as >=25% increase from baseline in abscesses and inflammatory nodule counts and with minimum of additional lesions, was documented in 22 (22%) of the 100 subjects who were withdrawn from HUMIRA treatment following the primary efficacy timepoint in two studies. Uveitis Clinical StudiesHUMIRA has been studied in 464 adult patients with uveitis (UV) in placebo-controlled and open-label extension studies and in 90 pediatric patients with uveitis (Study PUV-I) [see Clinical Studies 14.11 14.12 )] The safety profile for patients with UV treated with HUMIRA was similar to the safety profile seen in patients with RA. 6.2 Immunogenicity. As with all therapeutic proteins, there is potential for immunogenicity. The detection of antibody formation is highly dependent on the sensitivity and specificity of the assay. Additionally, the observed incidence of antibody (including neutralizing antibody) positivity in an assay may be influenced by several factors including assay methodology, sample handling, timing of sample collection, concomitant medications, and underlying disease. For these reasons, comparison of the incidence of antibodies in the studies described below with the incidence of antibodies in other studies or to other adalimumab products may be misleading.There are two assays that have been used to measure anti-adalimumab antibodies. With the ELISA, antibodies to adalimumab could be detected only when serum adalimumab concentrations were 2 mcg/mL. The ECL assay can detect anti-adalimumab antibody titers independent of adalimumab concentrations in the serum samples. The incidence of anti-adalimumab antibody (AAA) development in patients treated with HUMIRA are presented in Table 2.Table 2: Anti-Adalimumab Antibody Development Determined by ELISA and ECL Assay in Patients Treated with HUMIRAIndicationsStudy DurationAnti-Adalimumab Antibody Incidence by ELISA (n/N)Anti-Adalimumab Antibody Incidence by ECL Assay (n/N)In all patients who received adalimumab In patients with serum adalimumab concentrations 2 mcg/mL Rheumatoid Arthritisa to 12 months5% (58/1062)NRNAJuvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA)4 to 17 years of ageb 48 weeks16% (27/171)NRNA2 to years of age or >= years of age and weighing 15 kg24 weeks7% (1/15)c NRNAPsoriatic Arthritisd 48 weekse 13% (24/178)NRNAAnkylosing Spondylitis 24 weeks9% (16/185)NRNAAdult Crohns Disease 56 weeks3% (7/269)8% (7/86)NAPediatric Crohns Disease 52 weeks3% (6/182)10% (6/58)NAAdult Ulcerative Colitis 52 weeks5% (19/360)21% (19/92)NAPediatric Ulcerative Colitis52 weeks3% (3/100)13% (3/23)33% (33/100)i Plaque Psoriasisf Up to 52 weeksg 8% (77/920)21% (77/372)NAHidradenitis Suppurativa 36 weeks7% (30/461)28% (58/207)h 61% (272/445)j Non-infectious Uveitis 52 weeks5% (12/249)21% (12/57)40% (99/249)k n: number of patients with anti-adalimumab antibody; NR: not reported; NA: Not applicable (not performed)a In patients receiving concomitant methotrexate (MTX), the incidence of anti-adalimumab antibody was 1% compared to 12% with HUMIRA monotherapy In patients receiving concomitant MTX, the incidence of anti-adalimumab antibody was 6% compared to 26% with HUMIRA monotherapy This patient received concomitant MTXd In patients receiving concomitant MTX, the incidence of antibody development was 7% compared to 1% in RAe Subjects enrolled after completing previous studies of 24 weeks or 12 weeks of treatments.f In plaque psoriasis patients who were on HUMIRA monotherapy and subsequently withdrawn from the treatment, the rate of antibodies to adalimumab after retreatment was similar to the rate observed prior to withdrawalg One 12-week Phase study and one 52-week Phase studyh Among subjects in the Phase studies who stopped HUMIRA treatment for up to 24 weeks and in whom adalimumab serum levels subsequently declined to <2 mcg/mL (approximately 22% of total subjects studied)i No apparent association between antibody development and safety was observed. The association of antibody development and efficacy outcome was not assessed due to limited number of subjects in each treatment group stratified by anti-adalimumab antibody titer.j No apparent association between antibody development and safety was observedk No correlation of antibody development to safety or efficacy outcomes was observed Rheumatoid Arthritis and Psoriatic Arthritis: Patients in Studies RA-I, RA-II, and RA-III were tested at multiple time points for antibodies to adalimumab using the ELISA during the 6- to 12-month period. No apparent correlation of antibody development to adverse reactions was observed. With monotherapy, patients receiving every other week dosing may develop antibodies more frequently than those receiving weekly dosing. In patients receiving the recommended dosage of 40 mg every other week as monotherapy, the ACR 20 response was lower among antibody-positive patients than among antibody-negative patients. The long-term immunogenicity of HUMIRA is unknown. 6.3 Postmarketing Experience. The following adverse reactions have been identified during post-approval use of HUMIRA. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish causal relationship to HUMIRA exposure. Gastrointestinal disorders: Diverticulitis, large bowel perforations including perforations associated with diverticulitis and appendiceal perforations associated with appendicitis, pancreatitis General disorders and administration site conditions: Pyrexia Hepato-biliary disorders: Liver failure, hepatitis Immune system disorders: Sarcoidosis Neoplasms benign, malignant and unspecified (including cysts and polyps): Merkel Cell Carcinoma (neuroendocrine carcinoma of the skin) Nervous system disorders: Demyelinating disorders (e.g., optic neuritis, Guillain-Barre syndrome), cerebrovascular accident Respiratory disorders: Interstitial lung disease, including pulmonary fibrosis, pulmonary embolism Skin reactions: Stevens Johnson Syndrome, cutaneous vasculitis, erythema multiforme, new or worsening psoriasis (all sub-types including pustular and palmoplantar), alopecia, lichenoid skin reaction Vascular disorders: Systemic vasculitis, deep vein thrombosis.

BOXED WARNING SECTION.


WARNING: SERIOUS INFECTIONS AND MALIGNANCY. SERIOUS INFECTIONSPatients treated with HUMIRA are at increased risk for developing serious infections that may lead to hospitalization or death [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)]. Most patients who developed these infections were taking concomitant immunosuppressants such as methotrexate or corticosteroids.Discontinue HUMIRA if patient develops serious infection or sepsis.Reported infections include: Active tuberculosis (TB), including reactivation of latent TB. Patients with TB have frequently presented with disseminated or extrapulmonary disease. Test patients for latent TB before HUMIRA use and during therapy. Initiate treatment for latent TB prior to HUMIRA use. Invasive fungal infections, including histoplasmosis, coccidioidomycosis, candidiasis, aspergillosis, blastomycosis, and pneumocystosis. Patients with histoplasmosis or other invasive fungal infections may present with disseminated, rather than localized, disease. Antigen and antibody testing for histoplasmosis may be negative in some patients with active infection. Consider empiric anti-fungal therapy in patients at risk for invasive fungal infections who develop severe systemic illness. Bacterial, viral and other infections due to opportunistic pathogens, including Legionella and Listeria.Carefully consider the risks and benefits of treatment with HUMIRA prior to initiating therapy in patients with chronic or recurrent infection.Monitor patients closely for the development of signs and symptoms of infection during and after treatment with HUMIRA, including the possible development of TB in patients who tested negative for latent TB infection prior to initiating therapy [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) and Adverse Reactions (6.1)].MALIGNANCYLymphoma and other malignancies, some fatal, have been reported in children and adolescent patients treated with TNF blockers including HUMIRA [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)]. Post-marketing cases of hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma (HSTCL), rare type of T-cell lymphoma, have been reported in patients treated with TNF blockers including HUMIRA. These cases have had very aggressive disease course and have been fatal. The majority of reported TNF blocker cases have occurred in patients with Crohns disease or ulcerative colitis and the majority were in adolescent and young adult males. Almost all these patients had received treatment with azathioprine or 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP) concomitantly with TNF blocker at or prior to diagnosis. It is uncertain whether the occurrence of HSTCL is related to use of TNF blocker or TNF blocker in combination with these other immunosuppressants [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)].. WARNING: SERIOUS INFECTIONS AND MALIGNANCYSee full prescribing information for complete boxed warning.SERIOUS INFECTIONS (5.1, 6.1):Increased risk of serious infections leading to hospitalization or death, including tuberculosis (TB), bacterial sepsis, invasive fungal infections (such as histoplasmosis), and infections due to other opportunistic pathogens.Discontinue HUMIRA if patient develops serious infection or sepsis during treatment.Perform test for latent TB; if positive, start treatment for TB prior to starting HUMIRA.Monitor all patients for active TB during treatment, even if initial latent TB test is negative. MALIGNANCY (5.2):Lymphoma and other malignancies, some fatal, have been reported in children and adolescent patients treated with TNF blockers including HUMIRA.Post-marketing cases of hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma (HSTCL), rare type of T-cell lymphoma, have occurred in adolescent and young adults with inflammatory bowel disease treated with TNF blockers including HUMIRA. Increased risk of serious infections leading to hospitalization or death, including tuberculosis (TB), bacterial sepsis, invasive fungal infections (such as histoplasmosis), and infections due to other opportunistic pathogens.. Discontinue HUMIRA if patient develops serious infection or sepsis during treatment.. Perform test for latent TB; if positive, start treatment for TB prior to starting HUMIRA.. Monitor all patients for active TB during treatment, even if initial latent TB test is negative. Lymphoma and other malignancies, some fatal, have been reported in children and adolescent patients treated with TNF blockers including HUMIRA.. Post-marketing cases of hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma (HSTCL), rare type of T-cell lymphoma, have occurred in adolescent and young adults with inflammatory bowel disease treated with TNF blockers including HUMIRA.

CARCINOGENESIS & MUTAGENESIS & IMPAIRMENT OF FERTILITY SECTION.


13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility. Long-term animal studies of HUMIRA have not been conducted to evaluate the carcinogenic potential or its effect on fertility.

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY SECTION.


12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY. 12.1 Mechanism of Action. Adalimumab binds specifically to TNF-alpha and blocks its interaction with the p55 and p75 cell surface TNF receptors. Adalimumab also lyses surface TNF expressing cells in vitro in the presence of complement. Adalimumab does not bind or inactivate lymphotoxin (TNF-beta). TNF is naturally occurring cytokine that is involved in normal inflammatory and immune responses. Elevated concentrations of TNF are found in the synovial fluid of patients with RA, JIA, PsA, and AS and play an important role in both the pathologic inflammation and the joint destruction that are hallmarks of these diseases. Increased concentrations of TNF are also found in psoriasis plaques. In Ps, treatment with HUMIRA may reduce the epidermal thickness and infiltration of inflammatory cells. The relationship between these pharmacodynamic activities and the mechanism(s) by which HUMIRA exerts its clinical effects is unknown. Adalimumab also modulates biological responses that are induced or regulated by TNF, including changes in the concentrations of adhesion molecules responsible for leukocyte migration (ELAM-1, VCAM-1, and ICAM-1 with an IC50 of 1-2 10-10M). 12.2 Pharmacodynamics. After treatment with HUMIRA, decrease in concentrations of acute phase reactants of inflammation (C-reactive protein [CRP] and erythrocyte sedimentation rate [ESR]) and serum cytokines (IL-6) was observed compared to baseline in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. decrease in CRP concentrations was also observed in patients with Crohns disease, ulcerative colitis and hidradenitis suppurativa. Serum concentrations of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP-1 and MMP-3) that produce tissue remodeling responsible for cartilage destruction were also decreased after HUMIRA administration. For pediatric patients years to 17 years with ulcerative colitis, the recommended dosage of HUMIRA is based on modeled dose/exposure-efficacy relationships and pharmacokinetic data. There are no anticipated clinically relevant differences in efficacy between the studied higher dosage administered in the clinical trial (Weeks to 52 in Study PUC-I) [see Clinical Studies 14.8 ] and the recommended dosage [see Dosage and Administration 2.4 ]. 12.3 Pharmacokinetics. The pharmacokinetics of adalimumab were linear over the dose range of 0.5 to 10 mg/kg following administration of single intravenous dose (HUMIRA is not approved for intravenous use). Following 20, 40, and 80 mg every other week and every week subcutaneous administration, adalimumab mean serum trough concentrations at steady state increased approximately proportionally with dose in RA patients. The mean terminal half-life was approximately weeks, ranging from 10 to 20 days across studies. Healthy subjects and patients with RA displayed similar adalimumab pharmacokinetics. Adalimumab exposure in patients treated with 80 mg every other week is estimated to be comparable with that in patients treated with 40 mg every week.AbsorptionThe average absolute bioavailability of adalimumab following single 40 mg subcutaneous dose was 64%. The mean time to reach the maximum concentration was 5.5 days (131 +- 56 hours) and the maximum serum concentration was 4.7 +- 1.6 mcg/mL in healthy subjects following single 40 mg subcutaneous administration of HUMIRA. DistributionThe distribution volume (Vss) ranged from 4.7 to 6.0 following intravenous administration of doses ranging from 0.25 to 10 mg/kg in RA patients.EliminationThe single dose pharmacokinetics of adalimumab in RA patients were determined in several studies with intravenous doses ranging from 0.25 to 10 mg/kg. The systemic clearance of adalimumab is approximately 12 mL/hr. In long-term studies with dosing more than two years, there was no evidence of changes in clearance over time in RA patients. Patient PopulationRheumatoid Arthritis and Ankylosing Spondylitis: In patients receiving 40 mg HUMIRA every other week, adalimumab mean steady-state trough concentrations were approximately mcg/mL and to mcg/mL, without and with MTX concomitant treatment, respectively. Adalimumab concentrations in the synovial fluid from five rheumatoid arthritis patients ranged from 31 to 96% of those in serum. The pharmacokinetics of adalimumab in patients with AS were similar to those in patients with RA.Psoriatic Arthritis: In patients receiving 40 mg every other week, adalimumab mean steady-state trough concentrations were to 10 mcg/mL and 8.5 to 12 mcg/mL, without and with MTX concomitant treatment, respectively. Plaque Psoriasis: Adalimumab mean steady-state trough concentration was approximately to mcg/mL during HUMIRA 40 mg every other week treatment. Adult Uveitis: Adalimumab mean steady concentration was approximately to 10 mcg/mL during HUMIRA 40 mg every other week treatment.Adult Hidradenitis Suppurativa: Adalimumab trough concentrations were approximately to mcg/mL at Week and Week 4, respectively, after receiving 160 mg on Week followed by 80 mg on Week 2. Mean steady-state trough concentrations at Week 12 through Week 36 were approximately to 11 mcg/mL during HUMIRA 40 mg every week treatment. Adult Crohns Disease: Adalimumab mean trough concentrations were approximately 12 mcg/mL at Week and Week after receiving 160 mg on Week followed by 80 mg on Week 2. Mean steady-state trough concentrations were mcg/mL at Week 24 and Week 56 during HUMIRA 40 mg every other week treatment. Adult Ulcerative Colitis: Adalimumab mean trough concentrations were approximately 12 mcg/mL at Week and Week after receiving 160 mg on Week followed by 80 mg on Week 2. Mean steady-state trough concentrations were approximately mcg/mL and 15 mcg/mL at Week 52 after receiving dose of HUMIRA 40 mg every other week and 40 mg every week, respectively. Anti-Drug Antibody Effects on Pharmacokinetics Rheumatoid Arthritis: trend toward higher apparent clearance of adalimumab in the presence of anti-adalimumab antibodies was identified. Pediatric Ulcerative Colitis: Antibodies to adalimumab by ECL assay were associated with reduced serum adalimumab concentrations in pediatric patients with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis.Hidradenitis Suppurativa: In subjects with moderate to severe HS, antibodies to adalimumab were associated with reduced serum adalimumab concentrations. In general, the extent of reduction in serum adalimumab concentrations is greater with increasing titers of antibodies to adalimumab. Specific PopulationsGeriatric Patients: lower clearance with increasing age was observed in patients with RA aged 40 to >75 years.Pediatric Patients:Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis: years to 17 years of age: The adalimumab mean steady-state trough concentrations were 6.8 mcg/mL and 10.9 mcg/mL in patients weighing <30 kg receiving 20 mg HUMIRA subcutaneously every other week as monotherapy or with concomitant MTX, respectively. The adalimumab mean steady-state trough concentrations were 6.6 mcg/mL and 8.1 mcg/mL in patients weighing >=30 kg receiving 40 mg HUMIRA subcutaneously every other week as monotherapy or with MTX concomitant treatment, respectively. years to <4 years of age or years of age and older weighing <15 kg: The adalimumab mean steady-state trough adalimumab concentrations were 6.0 mcg/mL and 7.9 mcg/mL in patients receiving HUMIRA subcutaneously every other week as monotherapy or with MTX concomitant treatment, respectively.Pediatric Hidradenitis Suppurativa: Adalimumab concentrations in adolescent patients with HS receiving the recommended dosage regimens are predicted to be similar to those observed in adult subjects with HS based on population pharmacokinetic modeling and simulation.Pediatric Crohns Disease: Adalimumab mean +- SD concentrations were 15.7+-6.5 mcg/mL at Week following 160 mg at Week and 80 mg at Week 2, and 10.5+-6.0 mcg/mL at Week 52 following 40 mg every other week dosing in patients weighing >= 40 kg. Adalimumab mean +- SD concentrations were 10.6+-6.1 mcg/mL at Week following dosing 80 mg at Week and 40 mg at Week 2, and 6.9+-3.6 mcg/mL at Week 52 following 20 mg every other week dosing in patients weighing 40 kg.Pediatric Ulcerative Colitis: The adalimumab mean steady-state trough concentration was 5.0+-3.3 mcg/mL at Week 52 following subcutaneous administration of 0.6 mg/kg (maximum of 40 mg) every other week in pediatric UC patients years to 17 years of age. In patients who received 0.6 mg/kg (maximum of 40 mg) every week, the mean steady-state trough concentration was 15.7+-5.6 mcg/mL at Week 52 in pediatric UC patients years to 17 years of age.Male and Female Patients: No gender-related pharmacokinetic differences were observed after correction for patients body weight. Healthy subjects and patients with rheumatoid arthritis displayed similar adalimumab pharmacokinetics.Patients with Renal or Hepatic Impairment: No pharmacokinetic data are available in patients with hepatic or renal impairment. Rheumatoid factor or CRP concentrations: Minor increases in apparent clearance were predicted in RA patients receiving doses lower than the recommended dose and in RA patients with high rheumatoid factor or CRP concentrations. These increases are not likely to be clinically important. Drug Interaction Studies:Methotrexate: MTX reduced adalimumab apparent clearance after single and multiple dosing by 29% and 44% respectively, in patients with RA [see Drug Interactions (7.1)].. years to 17 years of age: The adalimumab mean steady-state trough concentrations were 6.8 mcg/mL and 10.9 mcg/mL in patients weighing <30 kg receiving 20 mg HUMIRA subcutaneously every other week as monotherapy or with concomitant MTX, respectively. The adalimumab mean steady-state trough concentrations were 6.6 mcg/mL and 8.1 mcg/mL in patients weighing >=30 kg receiving 40 mg HUMIRA subcutaneously every other week as monotherapy or with MTX concomitant treatment, respectively. 2 years to <4 years of age or years of age and older weighing <15 kg: The adalimumab mean steady-state trough adalimumab concentrations were 6.0 mcg/mL and 7.9 mcg/mL in patients receiving HUMIRA subcutaneously every other week as monotherapy or with MTX concomitant treatment, respectively.

CLINICAL TRIALS EXPERIENCE SECTION.


6.1 Clinical Trials Experience. Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. The most common adverse reaction with HUMIRA was injection site reactions. In placebo-controlled trials, 20% of patients treated with HUMIRA developed injection site reactions (erythema and/or itching, hemorrhage, pain or swelling), compared to 14% of patients receiving placebo. Most injection site reactions were described as mild and generally did not necessitate drug discontinuation. The proportion of patients who discontinued treatment due to adverse reactions during the double-blind, placebo-controlled portion of studies in patients with RA (i.e., Studies RA-I, RA-II, RA-III and RA-IV) was 7% for patients taking HUMIRA and 4% for placebo-treated patients. The most common adverse reactions leading to discontinuation of HUMIRA in these RA studies were clinical flare reaction (0.7%), rash (0.3%) and pneumonia (0.3%). InfectionsIn the controlled portions of the 39 global HUMIRA clinical trials in adult patients with RA, PsA, AS, CD, UC, Ps, HS and UV, the rate of serious infections was 4.3 per 100 patient-years in 7973 HUMIRA-treated patients versus rate of 2.9 per 100 patient-years in 4848 control-treated patients. Serious infections observed included pneumonia, septic arthritis, prosthetic and post-surgical infections, erysipelas, cellulitis, diverticulitis, and pyelonephritis [see Warnings and Precautions 5.1 ]. Tuberculosis and Opportunistic InfectionsIn 52 global controlled and uncontrolled clinical trials in RA, PsA, AS, CD, UC, Ps, HS and UV that included 24,605 HUMIRA-treated patients, the rate of reported active tuberculosis was 0.20 per 100 patient-years and the rate of positive PPD conversion was 0.09 per 100 patient-years. In subgroup of 10,113 U.S. and Canadian HUMIRA-treated patients, the rate of reported active TB was 0.05 per 100 patient-years and the rate of positive PPD conversion was 0.07 per 100 patient-years. These trials included reports of miliary, lymphatic, peritoneal, and pulmonary TB. Most of the TB cases occurred within the first eight months after initiation of therapy and may reflect recrudescence of latent disease. In these global clinical trials, cases of serious opportunistic infections have been reported at an overall rate of 0.05 per 100 patient-years. Some cases of serious opportunistic infections and TB have been fatal [see Warnings and Precautions 5.1 ]. AutoantibodiesIn the rheumatoid arthritis controlled trials, 12% of patients treated with HUMIRA and 7% of placebo-treated patients that had negative baseline ANA titers developed positive titers at week 24. Two patients out of 3046 treated with HUMIRA developed clinical signs suggestive of new-onset lupus-like syndrome. The patients improved following discontinuation of therapy. No patients developed lupus nephritis or central nervous system symptoms. The impact of long-term treatment with HUMIRA on the development of autoimmune diseases is unknown. Liver Enzyme Elevations There have been reports of severe hepatic reactions including acute liver failure in patients receiving TNF-blockers. In controlled Phase trials of HUMIRA (40 mg SC every other week) in patients with RA, PsA, and AS with control period duration ranging from to 104 weeks, ALT elevations >= x ULN occurred in 3.5% of HUMIRA-treated patients and 1.5% of control-treated patients. Since many of these patients in these trials were also taking medications that cause liver enzyme elevations (e.g., NSAIDS, MTX), the relationship between HUMIRA and the liver enzyme elevations is not clear. In controlled Phase trial of HUMIRA in patients with polyarticular JIA who were to 17 years, ALT elevations >= x ULN occurred in 4.4% of HUMIRA-treated patients and 1.5% of control-treated patients (ALT more common than AST); liver enzyme test elevations were more frequent among those treated with the combination of HUMIRA and MTX than those treated with HUMIRA alone. In general, these elevations did not lead to discontinuation of HUMIRA treatment. No ALT elevations >= x ULN occurred in the open-label study of HUMIRA in patients with polyarticular JIA who were to <4 years. In controlled Phase trials of HUMIRA (initial doses of 160 mg and 80 mg, or 80 mg and 40 mg on Days and 15, respectively, followed by 40 mg every other week) in adult patients with Crohns Disease with control period duration ranging from to 52 weeks, ALT elevations >= x ULN occurred in 0.9% of HUMIRA-treated patients and 0.9% of control-treated patients. In the Phase trial of HUMIRA in pediatric patients with Crohns disease which evaluated efficacy and safety of two body weight based maintenance dose regimens following body weight based induction therapy up to 52 weeks of treatment, ALT elevations >= x ULN occurred in 2.6% (5/192) of patients, of whom were receiving concomitant immunosuppressants at baseline; none of these patients discontinued due to abnormalities in ALT tests. In controlled Phase trials of HUMIRA (initial doses of 160 mg and 80 mg on Days and 15 respectively, followed by 40 mg every other week) in adult patients with UC with control period duration ranging from to 52 weeks, ALT elevations >=3 ULN occurred in 1.5% of HUMIRA-treated patients and 1.0% of control-treated patients. In the controlled Phase trial of HUMIRA in patients with pediatric ulcerative colitis (N=93), which evaluated efficacy and safety of maintenance dose of 0.6 mg/kg (maximum of 40 mg) every other week (N=31) and maintenance dose of 0.6 mg/kg (maximum of 40 mg) every week (N=32), following body weight based induction doses of 2.4 mg/kg (maximum of 160 mg) at Week and Week 1, and 1.2 mg/kg (maximum of 80 mg) at Week (N=63), or an induction dose of 2.4 mg/kg (maximum of 160 mg) at Week 0, placebo at Week 1, and 1.2 mg/kg (maximum of 80 mg) at Week (N=30), ALT elevations >= X ULN occurred in 1.1% (1/93) of patients. In controlled Phase trials of HUMIRA (initial dose of 80 mg then 40 mg every other week) in patients with Ps with control period duration ranging from 12 to 24 weeks, ALT elevations >= x ULN occurred in 1.8% of HUMIRA-treated patients and 1.8% of control-treated patients. In controlled trials of HUMIRA (initial doses of 160 mg at Week and 80 mg at Week 2, followed by 40 mg every week starting at Week 4), in subjects with HS with control period duration ranging from 12 to 16 weeks, ALT elevations >= x ULN occurred in 0.3% of HUMIRA-treated subjects and 0.6% of control-treated subjects. In controlled trials of HUMIRA (initial doses of 80 mg at Week followed by 40 mg every other week starting at Week 1) in adult patients with uveitis with an exposure of 165.4 PYs and 119.8 PYs in HUMIRA-treated and control-treated patients, respectively, ALT elevations >= x ULN occurred in 2.4% of HUMIRA-treated patients and 2.4% of control-treated patients. Other Adverse ReactionsRheumatoid Arthritis Clinical StudiesThe data described below reflect exposure to HUMIRA in 2468 patients, including 2073 exposed for months, 1497 exposed for greater than one year and 1380 in adequate and well-controlled studies (Studies RA-I, RA-II, RA-III, and RA-IV). HUMIRA was studied primarily in placebo-controlled trials and in long-term follow up studies for up to 36 months duration. The population had mean age of 54 years, 77% were female, 91% were Caucasian and had moderately to severely active rheumatoid arthritis. Most patients received 40 mg HUMIRA every other week [see Clinical Studies 14.1 ]. Table summarizes reactions reported at rate of at least 5% in patients treated with HUMIRA 40 mg every other week compared to placebo and with an incidence higher than placebo. In Study RA-III, the types and frequencies of adverse reactions in the second year open-label extension were similar to those observed in the one-year double-blind portion. Table 1.

Important findings and differences from adults are discussed in the following paragraphs. In Study JIA-I, HUMIRA was studied in 171 patients who were to 17 years of age, with polyarticular JIA. Severe adverse reactions reported in the study included neutropenia, streptococcal pharyngitis, increased aminotransferases, herpes zoster, myositis, metrorrhagia, and appendicitis. Serious infections were observed in 4% of patients within approximately years of initiation of treatment with HUMIRA and included cases of herpes simplex, pneumonia, urinary tract infection, pharyngitis, and herpes zoster. In Study JIA-I, 45% of patients experienced an infection while receiving HUMIRA with or without concomitant MTX in the first 16 weeks of treatment. The types of infections reported in HUMIRA-treated patients were generally similar to those commonly seen in polyarticular JIA patients who are not treated with TNF blockers. Upon initiation of treatment, the most common adverse reactions occurring in this patient population treated with HUMIRA were injection site pain and injection site reaction (19% and 16%, respectively). less commonly reported adverse event in patients receiving HUMIRA was granuloma annulare which did not lead to discontinuation of HUMIRA treatment. In the first 48 weeks of treatment in Study JIA-I, non-serious hypersensitivity reactions were seen in approximately 6% of patients and included primarily localized allergic hypersensitivity reactions and allergic rash. In Study JIA-I, 10% of patients treated with HUMIRA who had negative baseline anti-dsDNA antibodies developed positive titers after 48 weeks of treatment. No patient developed clinical signs of autoimmunity during the clinical trial. Approximately 15% of patients treated with HUMIRA developed mild-to-moderate elevations of creatine phosphokinase (CPK) in Study JIA-I. Elevations exceeding times the upper limit of normal were observed in several patients. CPK concentrations decreased or returned to normal in all patients. Most patients were able to continue HUMIRA without interruption. In Study JIA-II, HUMIRA was studied in 32 patients who were to <4 years of age or years of age and older weighing <15 kg with polyarticular JIA. The safety profile for this patient population was similar to the safety profile seen in patients to 17 years of age with polyarticular JIA. In Study JIA-II, 78% of patients experienced an infection while receiving HUMIRA. These included nasopharyngitis, bronchitis, upper respiratory tract infection, otitis media, and were mostly mild to moderate in severity. Serious infections were observed in 9% of patients receiving HUMIRA in the study and included dental caries, rotavirus gastroenteritis, and varicella. In Study JIA-II, non-serious allergic reactions were observed in 6% of patients and included intermittent urticaria and rash, which were all mild in severity. Psoriatic Arthritis and Ankylosing Spondylitis Clinical StudiesHUMIRA has been studied in 395 patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) in two placebo-controlled trials and in an open label study and in 393 patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) in two placebo-controlled studies [see Clinical Studies 14.3 14.4 )]. The safety profile for patients with PsA and AS treated with HUMIRA 40 mg every other week was similar to the safety profile seen in patients with RA, HUMIRA Studies RA-I through IV. Crohns Disease Clinical StudiesAdults: The safety profile of HUMIRA in 1478 adult patients with Crohns disease from four placebo-controlled and two open-label extension studies [see Clinical Studies 14.5 ] was similar to the safety profile seen in patients with RA. Pediatric Patients Years to 17 Years: The safety profile of HUMIRA in 192 pediatric patients from one double-blind study (Study PCD-I) and one open-label extension study [see Clinical Studies (14.6)] was similar to the safety profile seen in adult patients with Crohns disease. During the 4-week open label induction phase of Study PCD-I, the most common adverse reactions occurring in the pediatric population treated with HUMIRA were injection site pain and injection site reaction (6% and 5%, respectively). total of 67% of children experienced an infection while receiving HUMIRA in Study PCD-I. These included upper respiratory tract infection and nasopharyngitis. total of 5% of children experienced serious infection while receiving HUMIRA in Study PCD-I. These included viral infection, device related sepsis (catheter), gastroenteritis, H1N1 influenza, and disseminated histoplasmosis. In Study PCD-I, allergic reactions were observed in 5% of children which were all non-serious and were primarily localized reactions. Ulcerative Colitis Clinical StudiesAdults: The safety profile of HUMIRA in 1010 adult patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) from two placebo-controlled studies and one open-label extension study [see Clinical Studies (14.7)] was similar to the safety profile seen in patients with RA.Pediatric Patients Years to 17 Years: The safety profile of HUMIRA in 93 pediatric patients with ulcerative colitis from one double-blind study and one open-label extension study [see Clinical Studies (14.8)] was similar to the safety profile seen in adult patients with ulcerative colitis.Plaque Psoriasis Clinical StudiesHUMIRA has been studied in 1696 subjects with plaque psoriasis (Ps) in placebo-controlled and open-label extension studies [see Clinical Studies 14.9 ]. The safety profile for subjects with Ps treated with HUMIRA was similar to the safety profile seen in subjects with RA with the following exceptions. In the placebo-controlled portions of the clinical trials in Ps subjects, HUMIRA-treated subjects had higher incidence of arthralgia when compared to controls (3% vs. 1%). Hidradenitis Suppurativa Clinical StudiesHUMIRA has been studied in 727 subjects with hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) in three placebo-controlled studies and one open-label extension study [see Clinical Studies 14.10 ]. The safety profile for subjects with HS treated with HUMIRA weekly was consistent with the known safety profile of HUMIRA. Flare of HS, defined as >=25% increase from baseline in abscesses and inflammatory nodule counts and with minimum of additional lesions, was documented in 22 (22%) of the 100 subjects who were withdrawn from HUMIRA treatment following the primary efficacy timepoint in two studies. Uveitis Clinical StudiesHUMIRA has been studied in 464 adult patients with uveitis (UV) in placebo-controlled and open-label extension studies and in 90 pediatric patients with uveitis (Study PUV-I) [see Clinical Studies 14.11 14.12 )] The safety profile for patients with UV treated with HUMIRA was similar to the safety profile seen in patients with RA.

Prior to initiating HUMIRA and periodically during therapy, evaluate patients for active tuberculosis and test for latent infection [see Warnings and Precautions 5.1 ]. 2.8 General Considerations for Administration. HUMIRA is intended for use under the guidance and supervision of physician. patient may self-inject HUMIRA or caregiver may inject HUMIRA using either the HUMIRA Pen or prefilled syringe if physician determines that it is appropriate, and with medical follow-up, as necessary, after proper training in subcutaneous injection technique. HUMIRA can be taken out of the refrigerator for 15 to 30 minutes before injecting to allow the liquid to come to room temperature. Do not remove the cap or cover while allowing it to reach room temperature. Carefully inspect the solution in the HUMIRA Pen, prefilled syringe, or single-dose institutional use vial for particulate matter and discoloration prior to subcutaneous administration. If particulates and discolorations are noted, do not use the product. HUMIRA does not contain preservatives; therefore, discard unused portions of drug remaining from the syringe. NOTE: Instruct patients sensitive to latex not to handle the needle cover of the HUMIRA 40 mg/0.8 mL Pen and 40 mg/0.8 mL, 20 mg/0.4 mL and 10 mg/0.2 mL prefilled syringe because it may contain natural rubber latex [see How Supplied/Storage and Handling 16 ]. Instruct patients using the HUMIRA Pen or prefilled syringe to inject the full amount in the syringe, according to the directions provided in the Instructions for Use [see Instructions for Use ]. Injections should occur at separate sites in the thigh or abdomen. Rotate injection sites and do not give injections into areas where the skin is tender, bruised, red or hard. If dose is missed, administer the dose as soon as possible. Thereafter, resume dosing at the regular scheduled time.The HUMIRA single-dose institutional use vial is for administration within an institutional setting only, such as hospital, physicians office or clinic. Withdraw the dose using sterile needle and syringe and administer promptly by healthcare provider within an institutional setting. Only administer one dose per vial.

DRUG INTERACTIONS SECTION.


7 DRUG INTERACTIONS. Abatacept: Increased risk of serious infection. (5.1, 5.11, 7.2) Anakinra: Increased risk of serious infection. (5.1, 5.7, 7.2) Live vaccines: Avoid use with HUMIRA. (5.10, 7.3) Abatacept: Increased risk of serious infection. (5.1, 5.11, 7.2) Anakinra: Increased risk of serious infection. (5.1, 5.7, 7.2) Live vaccines: Avoid use with HUMIRA. (5.10, 7.3) 7.1 Methotrexate. HUMIRA has been studied in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients taking concomitant methotrexate (MTX). Although MTX reduced the apparent adalimumab clearance, the data do not suggest the need for dose adjustment of either HUMIRA or MTX [see Clinical Pharmacology 12.3 ]. 7.2 Biological Products In clinical studies in patients with RA, an increased risk of serious infections has been observed with the combination of TNF blockers with anakinra or abatacept, with no added benefit; therefore, use of HUMIRA with abatacept or anakinra is not recommended in patients with RA [see Warnings and Precautions 5.7 5.11 )]. higher rate of serious infections has also been observed in patients with RA treated with rituximab who received subsequent treatment with TNF blocker. There is insufficient information regarding the concomitant use of HUMIRA and other biologic products for the treatment of RA, PsA, AS, CD, UC, Ps, HS and UV. Concomitant administration of HUMIRA with other biologic DMARDS (e.g., anakinra and abatacept) or other TNF blockers is not recommended based upon the possible increased risk for infections and other potential pharmacological interactions. 7.3 Live Vaccines. Avoid the use of live vaccines with HUMIRA [see Warnings and Precautions 5.10 ]. 7.4 Cytochrome P450 Substrates. The formation of CYP450 enzymes may be suppressed by increased concentrations of cytokines (e.g., TNF, IL-6) during chronic inflammation. It is possible for molecule that antagonizes cytokine activity, such as adalimumab, to influence the formation of CYP450 enzymes. Upon initiation or discontinuation of HUMIRA in patients being treated with CYP450 substrates with narrow therapeutic index, monitoring of the effect (e.g., warfarin) or drug concentration (e.g., cyclosporine or theophylline) is recommended and the individual dose of the drug product may be adjusted as needed.

GERIATRIC USE SECTION.


8.5 Geriatric Use. total of 519 RA patients 65 years of age and older, including 107 patients 75 years of age and older, received HUMIRA in clinical studies RA-I through IV. No overall difference in effectiveness was observed between these patients and younger patients. The frequency of serious infection and malignancy among HUMIRA treated patients 65 years of age and older was higher than for those less than 65 years of age. Consider the benefits and risks of HUMIRA in patients 65 years of age and older. In patients treated with HUMIRA, closely monitor for the development of infection or malignancy [see Warnings and Precautions 5.1 5.2 )].

IMMUNOGENICITY.


6.2 Immunogenicity. As with all therapeutic proteins, there is potential for immunogenicity. The detection of antibody formation is highly dependent on the sensitivity and specificity of the assay. Additionally, the observed incidence of antibody (including neutralizing antibody) positivity in an assay may be influenced by several factors including assay methodology, sample handling, timing of sample collection, concomitant medications, and underlying disease. For these reasons, comparison of the incidence of antibodies in the studies described below with the incidence of antibodies in other studies or to other adalimumab products may be misleading.There are two assays that have been used to measure anti-adalimumab antibodies. With the ELISA, antibodies to adalimumab could be detected only when serum adalimumab concentrations were 2 mcg/mL. The ECL assay can detect anti-adalimumab antibody titers independent of adalimumab concentrations in the serum samples. The incidence of anti-adalimumab antibody (AAA) development in patients treated with HUMIRA are presented in Table 2.Table 2: Anti-Adalimumab Antibody Development Determined by ELISA and ECL Assay in Patients Treated with HUMIRAIndicationsStudy DurationAnti-Adalimumab Antibody Incidence by ELISA (n/N)Anti-Adalimumab Antibody Incidence by ECL Assay (n/N)In all patients who received adalimumab In patients with serum adalimumab concentrations 2 mcg/mL Rheumatoid Arthritisa to 12 months5% (58/1062)NRNAJuvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA)4 to 17 years of ageb 48 weeks16% (27/171)NRNA2 to years of age or >= years of age and weighing 15 kg24 weeks7% (1/15)c NRNAPsoriatic Arthritisd 48 weekse 13% (24/178)NRNAAnkylosing Spondylitis 24 weeks9% (16/185)NRNAAdult Crohns Disease 56 weeks3% (7/269)8% (7/86)NAPediatric Crohns Disease 52 weeks3% (6/182)10% (6/58)NAAdult Ulcerative Colitis 52 weeks5% (19/360)21% (19/92)NAPediatric Ulcerative Colitis52 weeks3% (3/100)13% (3/23)33% (33/100)i Plaque Psoriasisf Up to 52 weeksg 8% (77/920)21% (77/372)NAHidradenitis Suppurativa 36 weeks7% (30/461)28% (58/207)h 61% (272/445)j Non-infectious Uveitis 52 weeks5% (12/249)21% (12/57)40% (99/249)k n: number of patients with anti-adalimumab antibody; NR: not reported; NA: Not applicable (not performed)a In patients receiving concomitant methotrexate (MTX), the incidence of anti-adalimumab antibody was 1% compared to 12% with HUMIRA monotherapy In patients receiving concomitant MTX, the incidence of anti-adalimumab antibody was 6% compared to 26% with HUMIRA monotherapy This patient received concomitant MTXd In patients receiving concomitant MTX, the incidence of antibody development was 7% compared to 1% in RAe Subjects enrolled after completing previous studies of 24 weeks or 12 weeks of treatments.f In plaque psoriasis patients who were on HUMIRA monotherapy and subsequently withdrawn from the treatment, the rate of antibodies to adalimumab after retreatment was similar to the rate observed prior to withdrawalg One 12-week Phase study and one 52-week Phase studyh Among subjects in the Phase studies who stopped HUMIRA treatment for up to 24 weeks and in whom adalimumab serum levels subsequently declined to <2 mcg/mL (approximately 22% of total subjects studied)i No apparent association between antibody development and safety was observed. The association of antibody development and efficacy outcome was not assessed due to limited number of subjects in each treatment group stratified by anti-adalimumab antibody titer.j No apparent association between antibody development and safety was observedk No correlation of antibody development to safety or efficacy outcomes was observed Rheumatoid Arthritis and Psoriatic Arthritis: Patients in Studies RA-I, RA-II, and RA-III were tested at multiple time points for antibodies to adalimumab using the ELISA during the 6- to 12-month period. No apparent correlation of antibody development to adverse reactions was observed. With monotherapy, patients receiving every other week dosing may develop antibodies more frequently than those receiving weekly dosing. In patients receiving the recommended dosage of 40 mg every other week as monotherapy, the ACR 20 response was lower among antibody-positive patients than among antibody-negative patients. The long-term immunogenicity of HUMIRA is unknown.

INDICATIONS & USAGE SECTION.

The HUMIRA Pen contains glass. Do not drop or crush the Pen because the glass inside may break. Each HUMIRA Pen has caps on it. Do not remove the gray cap (Cap 1) or the plum-colored cap (Cap 2) until right before your injection. When the plum-colored button on the HUMIRA Pen is pressed to give your dose of HUMIRA, you will hear loud click sound. You must practice injecting HUMIRA with your doctor or nurse so that you are not startled by this click when you start giving yourself the injections at home. The loud click sound means the start of the injection. You will know that the injection has finished when the yellow indicator appears fully in the window view and stops moving.See the section below called Prepar ing the HUMIRA Pen. Gather the Supplies for Your InjectionYou will need the following supplies for each injection of HUMIRA.Find clean, flat surface to place the supplies on. alcohol swab cotton ball or gauze pad (not included in your HUMIRA carton) HUMIRA Pen (See Figure A) Puncture-resistant sharps disposal container for HUMIRA Pen disposal (not included in your HUMIRA carton). See the How should throw away (dispose of) the used HUMIRA Pen section at the end of this Instructions for Use. If more comfortable, take your HUMIRA Pen out of the refrigerator 15 to 30 minutes before injecting to allow the liquid to reach room temperature. Do not remove the gray cap (Cap 1) or the plum-colored cap (Cap 2) while allowing it to reach room temperature. Do not warm HUMIRA in any other way (for example, do not warm it in microwave or in hot water). If you do not have all the supplies you need to give yourself an injection, go to pharmacy or call your pharmacist. The figure below shows what the HUMIRA Pen looks like. See Figure A. Figure ACheck the carton, dose tray, and HUMIRA Pen. 1. Make sure the name HUMIRA appears on the carton, dose tray, and HUMIRA Pen label. 2. Do not use and do call your doctor or pharmacist if: you drop or crush your HUMIRA Pen. the seals on the top or bottom of the carton are broken or missing. the expiration date on the carton, dose tray, and Pen has passed. the HUMIRA Pen has been frozen or left in direct sunlight. HUMIRA has been kept at room temperature for longer than 14 days or HUMIRA has been stored above 77F (25C). See the How should store HUMIRA section at the end of this Instructions for Use. 3. Hold the Pen with the gray cap (Cap 1) pointed down. 4. Make sure the amount of liquid in the Pen is at the fill line or close to the fill line seen through the window. This is the full dose of HUMIRA that you will inject. See Figure B. 5. If the Pen does not have the full amount of liquid, do not use that Pen. Call your pharmacist. Figure B6. Turn the Pen over and hold the Pen with the gray cap (Cap 1) pointed up. See Figure C. 7. Check the solution through the windows on the side of the Pen to make sure the liquid is clear and colorless. Do not use your HUMIRA Pen if the liquid is cloudy, discolored, or if it has flakes or particles in it. Call your pharmacist. It is normal to see one or more bubbles in the window. Figure CChoose the Injection Site8. Wash and dry your hands well. 9. Choose an injection site on: the front of your thighs or your lower abdomen (belly). If you choose your abdomen, do not use the area inches around your belly button (navel). See Figure D. Figure DChoose different site each time you give yourself an injection. Each new injection should be given at least one inch from site you used before. Do not inject HUMIRA into skin that is: sore (tender) bruised red hard scarred or where you have stretch marks If you have psoriasis, do not inject directly into any raised, thick, red or scaly skin patches or lesions on your skin. Do not inject through your clothes.Prepare the Injection Site10. Wipe the injection site with an alcohol prep (swab) using circular motion. Do not touch this area again before giving the injection.

LACTATION SECTION.


8.2 Lactation. Risk SummaryLimited data from case reports in the published literature describe the presence of adalimumab in human milk at infant doses of 0.1% to 1% of the maternal serum concentration. Published data suggest that the systemic exposure to breastfed infant is expected to be low because adalimumab is large molecule and is degraded in the gastrointestinal tract. However, the effects of local exposure in the gastrointestinal tract are unknown. There are no reports of adverse effects of adalimumab on the breastfed infant and no effects on milk production. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mothers clinical need for HUMIRA and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from HUMIRA or from the underlying maternal condition.

MECHANISM OF ACTION SECTION.


12.1 Mechanism of Action. Adalimumab binds specifically to TNF-alpha and blocks its interaction with the p55 and p75 cell surface TNF receptors. Adalimumab also lyses surface TNF expressing cells in vitro in the presence of complement. Adalimumab does not bind or inactivate lymphotoxin (TNF-beta). TNF is naturally occurring cytokine that is involved in normal inflammatory and immune responses. Elevated concentrations of TNF are found in the synovial fluid of patients with RA, JIA, PsA, and AS and play an important role in both the pathologic inflammation and the joint destruction that are hallmarks of these diseases. Increased concentrations of TNF are also found in psoriasis plaques. In Ps, treatment with HUMIRA may reduce the epidermal thickness and infiltration of inflammatory cells. The relationship between these pharmacodynamic activities and the mechanism(s) by which HUMIRA exerts its clinical effects is unknown. Adalimumab also modulates biological responses that are induced or regulated by TNF, including changes in the concentrations of adhesion molecules responsible for leukocyte migration (ELAM-1, VCAM-1, and ICAM-1 with an IC50 of 1-2 10-10M).

NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY SECTION.


13 NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY. 13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility. Long-term animal studies of HUMIRA have not been conducted to evaluate the carcinogenic potential or its effect on fertility.

OVERDOSAGE SECTION.


10 OVERDOSAGE. Doses up to 10 mg/kg have been administered to patients in clinical trials without evidence of dose-limiting toxicities. In case of overdosage, it is recommended that the patient be monitored for any signs or symptoms of adverse reactions or effects and appropriate symptomatic treatment instituted immediately.

PEDIATRIC USE SECTION.


8.4 Pediatric Use. The safety and effectiveness of HUMIRA have been established for: reducing signs and symptoms of moderately to severely active polyarticular JIA in pediatric patients years of age and older. the treatment of moderately to severely active Crohns disease in pediatric patients years of age and older. the treatment of moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis in pediatric patients years of age and older. the treatment of moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa in patients 12 years of age and older. the treatment of non-infectious intermediate, posterior, and panuveitis in pediatric patients years of age and older.Due to its inhibition of TNF, HUMIRA administered during pregnancy could affect immune response in the in utero-exposed newborn and infant. Data from eight infants exposed to HUMIRA in utero suggest adalimumab crosses the placenta [see Use in Specific Populations 8.1 )]. The clinical significance of elevated adalimumab concentrations in infants is unknown. The safety of administering live or live-attenuated vaccines in exposed infants is unknown. Risks and benefits should be considered prior to vaccinating (live or live-attenuated) exposed infants. Post-marketing cases of lymphoma, including hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma and other malignancies, some fatal, have been reported among children, adolescents, and young adults who received treatment with TNF-blockers including HUMIRA [see Warnings and Precautions 5.2 ]. Juvenile Idiopathic ArthritisIn Study JIA-I, HUMIRA was shown to reduce signs and symptoms of active polyarticular JIA in patients to 17 years of age [see Clinical Studies 14.2 ]. In Study JIA-II, the safety profile for patients to <4 years of age was similar to the safety profile for patients to 17 years of age with polyarticular JIA [see Adverse Reactions 6.1 ]. HUMIRA has not been studied in patients with polyarticular JIA less than years of age or in patients with weight below 10 kg. The safety of HUMIRA in patients in the polyarticular JIA trials was generally similar to that observed in adults with certain exceptions [see Adverse Reactions 6.1 ]. The safety and effectiveness of HUMIRA have not been established in pediatric patients with JIA less than years of age.Pediatric Crohns DiseaseThe safety and effectiveness of HUMIRA for the treatment of moderately to severely active Crohns disease have been established in pediatric patients years of age and older. Use of HUMIRA for this indication is supported by evidence from adequate and well-controlled studies in adults with additional data from randomized, double-blind, 52-week clinical study of two dose concentrations of HUMIRA in 192 pediatric patients (6 years to 17 years of age) [see Adverse Reactions 6.1 , Clinical Pharmacology 12.2 12.3 ), Clinical Studies 14.6 ]. The adverse reaction profile in patients years to 17 years of age was similar to adults. The safety and effectiveness of HUMIRA have not been established in pediatric patients with Crohns disease less than years of age. Pediatric Ulcerative ColitisThe safety and effectiveness of HUMIRA for the treatment of moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis have been established in pediatric patients years of age and older. Use of HUMIRA for this indication is supported by evidence from adequate and well-controlled studies in adults with additional data from randomized, double-blind, 52-week clinical study of two dose concentrations of HUMIRA in 93 pediatric patients (5 years to 17 years of age) [see Adverse Reactions 6.1 , Clinical Pharmacology 12.3 , Clinical Studies 14.8 ]. The adverse reaction profile in patients years to 17 years of age was similar to adults. The effectiveness of HUMIRA has not been established in patients who have lost response or were intolerant to TNF blockers.The safety and effectiveness of HUMIRA have not been established in pediatric patients with ulcerative colitis less than years of age.Pediatric UveitisThe safety and effectiveness of HUMIRA for the treatment of non-infectious uveitis have been established in pediatric patients years of age and older. The use of HUMIRA is supported by evidence from adequate and well-controlled studies of HUMIRA in adults and 2:1 randomized, controlled clinical study in 90 pediatric patients [see Clinical Studies 14.12 ]. The safety and effectiveness of HUMIRA have not been established in pediatric patients with uveitis less than years of age. Hidradenitis SuppurativaUse of HUMIRA in pediatric patients 12 years of age and older for HS is supported by evidence from adequate and well-controlled studies of HUMIRA in adult HS patients. Additional population pharmacokinetic modeling and simulation predicted that weight-based dosing of HUMIRA in pediatric patients 12 years of age and older can provide generally similar exposure to adult HS patients. The course of HS is sufficiently similar in adult and adolescent patients to allow extrapolation of data from adult to adolescent patients. The recommended dosage in pediatric patients 12 years of age or older is based on body weight [see Dosage and Administration 2.6 , Clinical Pharmacology 12.3 , and Clinical Studies 14.10 ]. The safety and effectiveness of HUMIRA have not been established in patients less than 12 years of age with HS. reducing signs and symptoms of moderately to severely active polyarticular JIA in pediatric patients years of age and older. the treatment of moderately to severely active Crohns disease in pediatric patients years of age and older. the treatment of moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis in pediatric patients years of age and older. the treatment of moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa in patients 12 years of age and older. the treatment of non-infectious intermediate, posterior, and panuveitis in pediatric patients years of age and older.

PHARMACODYNAMICS SECTION.


12.2 Pharmacodynamics. After treatment with HUMIRA, decrease in concentrations of acute phase reactants of inflammation (C-reactive protein [CRP] and erythrocyte sedimentation rate [ESR]) and serum cytokines (IL-6) was observed compared to baseline in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. decrease in CRP concentrations was also observed in patients with Crohns disease, ulcerative colitis and hidradenitis suppurativa. Serum concentrations of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP-1 and MMP-3) that produce tissue remodeling responsible for cartilage destruction were also decreased after HUMIRA administration. For pediatric patients years to 17 years with ulcerative colitis, the recommended dosage of HUMIRA is based on modeled dose/exposure-efficacy relationships and pharmacokinetic data. There are no anticipated clinically relevant differences in efficacy between the studied higher dosage administered in the clinical trial (Weeks to 52 in Study PUC-I) [see Clinical Studies 14.8 ] and the recommended dosage [see Dosage and Administration 2.4 ].

PHARMACOKINETICS SECTION.


12.3 Pharmacokinetics. The pharmacokinetics of adalimumab were linear over the dose range of 0.5 to 10 mg/kg following administration of single intravenous dose (HUMIRA is not approved for intravenous use). Following 20, 40, and 80 mg every other week and every week subcutaneous administration, adalimumab mean serum trough concentrations at steady state increased approximately proportionally with dose in RA patients. The mean terminal half-life was approximately weeks, ranging from 10 to 20 days across studies. Healthy subjects and patients with RA displayed similar adalimumab pharmacokinetics. Adalimumab exposure in patients treated with 80 mg every other week is estimated to be comparable with that in patients treated with 40 mg every week.AbsorptionThe average absolute bioavailability of adalimumab following single 40 mg subcutaneous dose was 64%. The mean time to reach the maximum concentration was 5.5 days (131 +- 56 hours) and the maximum serum concentration was 4.7 +- 1.6 mcg/mL in healthy subjects following single 40 mg subcutaneous administration of HUMIRA. DistributionThe distribution volume (Vss) ranged from 4.7 to 6.0 following intravenous administration of doses ranging from 0.25 to 10 mg/kg in RA patients.EliminationThe single dose pharmacokinetics of adalimumab in RA patients were determined in several studies with intravenous doses ranging from 0.25 to 10 mg/kg. The systemic clearance of adalimumab is approximately 12 mL/hr. In long-term studies with dosing more than two years, there was no evidence of changes in clearance over time in RA patients. Patient PopulationRheumatoid Arthritis and Ankylosing Spondylitis: In patients receiving 40 mg HUMIRA every other week, adalimumab mean steady-state trough concentrations were approximately mcg/mL and to mcg/mL, without and with MTX concomitant treatment, respectively. Adalimumab concentrations in the synovial fluid from five rheumatoid arthritis patients ranged from 31 to 96% of those in serum. The pharmacokinetics of adalimumab in patients with AS were similar to those in patients with RA.Psoriatic Arthritis: In patients receiving 40 mg every other week, adalimumab mean steady-state trough concentrations were to 10 mcg/mL and 8.5 to 12 mcg/mL, without and with MTX concomitant treatment, respectively. Plaque Psoriasis: Adalimumab mean steady-state trough concentration was approximately to mcg/mL during HUMIRA 40 mg every other week treatment. Adult Uveitis: Adalimumab mean steady concentration was approximately to 10 mcg/mL during HUMIRA 40 mg every other week treatment.Adult Hidradenitis Suppurativa: Adalimumab trough concentrations were approximately to mcg/mL at Week and Week 4, respectively, after receiving 160 mg on Week followed by 80 mg on Week 2. Mean steady-state trough concentrations at Week 12 through Week 36 were approximately to 11 mcg/mL during HUMIRA 40 mg every week treatment. Adult Crohns Disease: Adalimumab mean trough concentrations were approximately 12 mcg/mL at Week and Week after receiving 160 mg on Week followed by 80 mg on Week 2. Mean steady-state trough concentrations were mcg/mL at Week 24 and Week 56 during HUMIRA 40 mg every other week treatment. Adult Ulcerative Colitis: Adalimumab mean trough concentrations were approximately 12 mcg/mL at Week and Week after receiving 160 mg on Week followed by 80 mg on Week 2. Mean steady-state trough concentrations were approximately mcg/mL and 15 mcg/mL at Week 52 after receiving dose of HUMIRA 40 mg every other week and 40 mg every week, respectively. Anti-Drug Antibody Effects on Pharmacokinetics Rheumatoid Arthritis: trend toward higher apparent clearance of adalimumab in the presence of anti-adalimumab antibodies was identified. Pediatric Ulcerative Colitis: Antibodies to adalimumab by ECL assay were associated with reduced serum adalimumab concentrations in pediatric patients with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis.Hidradenitis Suppurativa: In subjects with moderate to severe HS, antibodies to adalimumab were associated with reduced serum adalimumab concentrations. In general, the extent of reduction in serum adalimumab concentrations is greater with increasing titers of antibodies to adalimumab. Specific PopulationsGeriatric Patients: lower clearance with increasing age was observed in patients with RA aged 40 to >75 years.Pediatric Patients:Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis: years to 17 years of age: The adalimumab mean steady-state trough concentrations were 6.8 mcg/mL and 10.9 mcg/mL in patients weighing <30 kg receiving 20 mg HUMIRA subcutaneously every other week as monotherapy or with concomitant MTX, respectively. The adalimumab mean steady-state trough concentrations were 6.6 mcg/mL and 8.1 mcg/mL in patients weighing >=30 kg receiving 40 mg HUMIRA subcutaneously every other week as monotherapy or with MTX concomitant treatment, respectively. years to <4 years of age or years of age and older weighing <15 kg: The adalimumab mean steady-state trough adalimumab concentrations were 6.0 mcg/mL and 7.9 mcg/mL in patients receiving HUMIRA subcutaneously every other week as monotherapy or with MTX concomitant treatment, respectively.Pediatric Hidradenitis Suppurativa: Adalimumab concentrations in adolescent patients with HS receiving the recommended dosage regimens are predicted to be similar to those observed in adult subjects with HS based on population pharmacokinetic modeling and simulation.Pediatric Crohns Disease: Adalimumab mean +- SD concentrations were 15.7+-6.5 mcg/mL at Week following 160 mg at Week and 80 mg at Week 2, and 10.5+-6.0 mcg/mL at Week 52 following 40 mg every other week dosing in patients weighing >= 40 kg. Adalimumab mean +- SD concentrations were 10.6+-6.1 mcg/mL at Week following dosing 80 mg at Week and 40 mg at Week 2, and 6.9+-3.6 mcg/mL at Week 52 following 20 mg every other week dosing in patients weighing 40 kg.Pediatric Ulcerative Colitis: The adalimumab mean steady-state trough concentration was 5.0+-3.3 mcg/mL at Week 52 following subcutaneous administration of 0.6 mg/kg (maximum of 40 mg) every other week in pediatric UC patients years to 17 years of age. In patients who received 0.6 mg/kg (maximum of 40 mg) every week, the mean steady-state trough concentration was 15.7+-5.6 mcg/mL at Week 52 in pediatric UC patients years to 17 years of age.Male and Female Patients: No gender-related pharmacokinetic differences were observed after correction for patients body weight. Healthy subjects and patients with rheumatoid arthritis displayed similar adalimumab pharmacokinetics.Patients with Renal or Hepatic Impairment: No pharmacokinetic data are available in patients with hepatic or renal impairment. Rheumatoid factor or CRP concentrations: Minor increases in apparent clearance were predicted in RA patients receiving doses lower than the recommended dose and in RA patients with high rheumatoid factor or CRP concentrations. These increases are not likely to be clinically important. Drug Interaction Studies:Methotrexate: MTX reduced adalimumab apparent clearance after single and multiple dosing by 29% and 44% respectively, in patients with RA [see Drug Interactions (7.1)].. years to 17 years of age: The adalimumab mean steady-state trough concentrations were 6.8 mcg/mL and 10.9 mcg/mL in patients weighing <30 kg receiving 20 mg HUMIRA subcutaneously every other week as monotherapy or with concomitant MTX, respectively. The adalimumab mean steady-state trough concentrations were 6.6 mcg/mL and 8.1 mcg/mL in patients weighing >=30 kg receiving 40 mg HUMIRA subcutaneously every other week as monotherapy or with MTX concomitant treatment, respectively. 2 years to <4 years of age or years of age and older weighing <15 kg: The adalimumab mean steady-state trough adalimumab concentrations were 6.0 mcg/mL and 7.9 mcg/mL in patients receiving HUMIRA subcutaneously every other week as monotherapy or with MTX concomitant treatment, respectively.

POSTMARKETING EXPERIENCE SECTION.


6.3 Postmarketing Experience. The following adverse reactions have been identified during post-approval use of HUMIRA. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish causal relationship to HUMIRA exposure. Gastrointestinal disorders: Diverticulitis, large bowel perforations including perforations associated with diverticulitis and appendiceal perforations associated with appendicitis, pancreatitis General disorders and administration site conditions: Pyrexia Hepato-biliary disorders: Liver failure, hepatitis Immune system disorders: Sarcoidosis Neoplasms benign, malignant and unspecified (including cysts and polyps): Merkel Cell Carcinoma (neuroendocrine carcinoma of the skin) Nervous system disorders: Demyelinating disorders (e.g., optic neuritis, Guillain-Barre syndrome), cerebrovascular accident Respiratory disorders: Interstitial lung disease, including pulmonary fibrosis, pulmonary embolism Skin reactions: Stevens Johnson Syndrome, cutaneous vasculitis, erythema multiforme, new or worsening psoriasis (all sub-types including pustular and palmoplantar), alopecia, lichenoid skin reaction Vascular disorders: Systemic vasculitis, deep vein thrombosis.

PREGNANCY SECTION.


8.1 Pregnancy. Risk SummaryAvailable studies with use of adalimumab during pregnancy do not reliably establish an association between adalimumab and major birth defects. Clinical data are available from the Organization of Teratology Information Specialists (OTIS)/MotherToBaby HUMIRA Pregnancy Registry in pregnant women with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) or Crohns disease (CD). Registry results showed rate of 10% for major birth defects with first trimester use of adalimumab in pregnant women with RA or CD and rate of 7.5% for major birth defects in the disease-matched comparison cohort. The lack of pattern of major birth defects is reassuring and differences between exposure groups may have impacted the occurrence of birth defects (see Data ). Adalimumab is actively transferred across the placenta during the third trimester of pregnancy and may affect immune response in the in-utero exposed infant (see Clinical Considerations ). In an embryo-fetal perinatal development study conducted in cynomolgus monkeys, no fetal harm or malformations were observed with intravenous administration of adalimumab during organogenesis and later in gestation, at doses that produced exposures up to approximately 373 times the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) of 40 mg subcutaneous without methotrexate (see Data ). The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated populations is unknown. All pregnancies have background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2-4% and 15-20%, respectively. Clinical ConsiderationsDisease-associated maternal and embryo/fetal riskPublished data suggest that the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes in women with RA or inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is associated with increased disease activity. Adverse pregnancy outcomes include preterm delivery (before 37 weeks of gestation), low birth weight (less than 2500 g) infants, and small for gestational age at birth. Fetal/Neonatal Adverse ReactionsMonoclonal antibodies are increasingly transported across the placenta as pregnancy progresses, with the largest amount transferred during the third trimester (see Data ). Risks and benefits should be considered prior to administering live or live-attenuated vaccines to infants exposed to HUMIRA in utero [see Use in Specific Populations 8.4 ]. DataHuman DataA prospective cohort pregnancy exposure registry conducted by OTIS/MotherToBaby in the U.S. and Canada between 2004 and 2016 compared the risk of major birth defects in live-born infants of 221 women (69 RA, 152 CD) treated with adalimumab during the first trimester and 106 women (74 RA, 32 CD) not treated with adalimumab. The proportion of major birth defects among live-born infants in the adalimumab-treated and untreated cohorts was 10% (8.7% RA, 10.5% CD) and 7.5% (6.8% RA, 9.4% CD), respectively. The lack of pattern of major birth defects is reassuring and differences between exposure groups may have impacted the occurrence of birth defects. This study cannot reliably establish whether there is an association between adalimumab and major birth defects because of methodological limitations of the registry, including small sample size, the voluntary nature of the study, and the non-randomized design. In an independent clinical study conducted in ten pregnant women with IBD treated with HUMIRA, adalimumab concentrations were measured in maternal serum as well as in cord blood (n=10) and infant serum (n=8) on the day of birth. The last dose of HUMIRA was given between and 56 days prior to delivery. Adalimumab concentrations were 0.16-19.7 ug/mL in cord blood, 4.28-17.7 ug/mL in infant serum, and 0-16.1 ug/mL in maternal serum. In all but one case, the cord blood concentration of adalimumab was higher than the maternal serum concentration, suggesting adalimumab actively crosses the placenta. In addition, one infant had serum concentrations at each of the following: weeks (1.94 ug/mL), weeks (1.31 ug/mL), weeks (0.93 ug/mL), and 11 weeks (0.53 ug/mL), suggesting adalimumab can be detected in the serum of infants exposed in utero for at least months from birth. Animal DataIn an embryo-fetal perinatal development study, pregnant cynomolgus monkeys received adalimumab from gestation days 20 to 97 at doses that produced exposures up to 373 times that achieved with the MRHD without methotrexate (on an AUC basis with maternal IV doses up to 100 mg/kg/week). Adalimumab did not elicit harm to the fetuses or malformations.

MEDICATION GUIDEHUMIRA(R) (Hu-MARE-ah)(adalimumab)injection, for subcutaneous useRead the Medication Guide that comes with HUMIRA before you start taking it and each time you get refill. There may be new information. This Medication Guide does not take the place of talking with your doctor about your medical condition or treatment. What is the most important information should know about HUMIRAHUMIRA is medicine that affects your immune system. HUMIRA can lower the ability of your immune system to fight infections. Serious infections have happened in people taking HUMIRA. These serious infections include tuberculosis (TB) and infections caused by viruses, fungi or bacteria that have spread throughout the body. Some people have died from these infections.Your doctor should test you for TB before starting HUMIRA. Your doctor should check you closely for signs and symptoms of TB during treatment with HUMIRA.You should not start taking HUMIRA if you have any kind of infection unless your doctor says it is okay. Before starting HUMIRA, tell your doctor if you:think you have an infection or have symptoms of an infection such as: fever, sweats, or chills muscle aches cough shortness of breath blood in phlegmwarm, red, or painful skin or sores on your body diarrhea or stomach pain burning when you urinate or urinate more often than normal feel very tired weight lossare being treated for an infection. get lot of infections or have infections that keep coming back. have diabetes. have TB, or have been in close contact with someone with TB. were born in, lived in, or traveled to countries where there is more risk for getting TB. Ask your doctor if you are not sure. live or have lived in certain parts of the country (such as the Ohio and Mississippi River valleys) where there is an increased risk for getting certain kinds of fungal infections (histoplasmosis, coccidioidomycosis, or blastomycosis). These infections may happen or become more severe if you use HUMIRA. Ask your doctor if you do not know if you have lived in an area where these infections are common. have or have had hepatitis B. use the medicine ORENCIA (abatacept), KINERET (anakinra), RITUXAN (rituximab), IMURAN (azathioprine), or PURINETHOL (6-mercaptopurine, 6-MP). are scheduled to have major surgery.After starting HUMIRA, call your doctor right away if you have an infection, or any sign of an infection. HUMIRA can make you more likely to get infections or make any infection that you may have worse. CancerFor children and adults taking Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF)-blockers, including HUMIRA, the chances of getting cancer may increase. There have been cases of unusual cancers in children, teenagers, and young adults using TNF-blockers. People with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), especially more serious RA, may have higher chance for getting kind of cancer called lymphoma. If you use TNF blockers including HUMIRA your chance of getting two types of skin cancer may increase (basal cell cancer and squamous cell cancer of the skin). These types of cancer are generally not life-threatening if treated. Tell your doctor if you have bump or open sore that does not heal. Some people receiving TNF blockers including HUMIRA developed rare type of cancer called hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma. This type of cancer often results in death. Most of these people were male teenagers or young men. Also, most people were being treated for Crohns disease or ulcerative colitis with another medicine called IMURAN (azathioprine) or PURINETHOL (6-mercaptopurine, 6-MP). What is HUMIRAHUMIRA is medicine called Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) blocker. HUMIRA is used: To reduce the signs and symptoms of: moderate to severe RA in adults. HUMIRA can be used alone, with methotrexate, or with certain other medicines. moderate to severe polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) in children years and older. HUMIRA can be used alone or with methotrexate. psoriatic arthritis (PsA) in adults. HUMIRA can be used alone or with certain other medicines. ankylosing spondylitis (AS) in adults. moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) in people 12 years and older. To treat moderate to severe Crohns disease (CD) in adults and children years of age and older. To treat moderate to severe ulcerative colitis (UC) in adults and children years of age and older. It is not known if HUMIRA is effective in people who stopped responding to or could not tolerate TNF-blocker medicines. To treat moderate to severe chronic (lasting long time) plaque psoriasis (Ps) in adults who have the condition in many areas of their body and who may benefit from taking injections or pills (systemic therapy) or phototherapy (treatment using ultraviolet light alone or with pills). To treat non-infectious intermediate, posterior, and panuveitis in adults and children years of age and older. What should tell my doctor before taking HUMIRAHUMIRA may not be right for you.

Do not try to inject HUMIRA yourself until you have been shown the right way to give the injections. If your doctor decides that you or caregiver may be able to give your injections of HUMIRA at home, you should receive training on the right way to prepare and inject HUMIRA. Do not miss any doses of HUMIRA unless your doctor says it is okay. If you forget to take HUMIRA, inject dose as soon as you remember. Then, take your next dose at your regular scheduled time. This will put you back on schedule. In case you are not sure when to inject HUMIRA, call your doctor or pharmacist. If you take more HUMIRA than you were told to take, call your doctor.What are the possible side effects of HUMIRAHUMIRA can cause serious side effects, including: See What is the most important information should know about HUMIRASerious Infections.Your doctor will examine you for TB and perform test to see if you have TB. If your doctor feels that you are at risk for TB, you may be treated with medicine for TB before you begin treatment with HUMIRA and during treatment with HUMIRA. Even if your TB test is negative your doctor should carefully monitor you for TB infections while you are taking HUMIRA. People who had negative TB skin test before receiving HUMIRA have developed active TB. Tell your doctor if you have any of the following symptoms while taking or after taking HUMIRA: cough that does not go away low grade feverweight loss loss of body fat and muscle (wasting)Hepatitis infection in people who carry the virus in their blood.If you are carrier of the hepatitis virus (a virus that affects the liver), the virus can become active while you use HUMIRA. Your doctor should do blood tests before you start treatment, while you are using HUMIRA, and for several months after you stop treatment with HUMIRA. Tell your doctor if you have any of the following symptoms of possible hepatitis infection: muscle aches feel very tired dark urine skin or eyes look yellow little or no appetite vomitingclay-colored bowel movements fever chills stomach discomfort skin rashAllergic reactions. Allergic reactions can happen in people who use HUMIRA. Call your doctor or get medical help right away if you have any of these symptoms of serious allergic reaction:hives trouble breathingswelling of your face, eyes, lips or mouthNervous system problems. Signs and symptoms of nervous system problem include: numbness or tingling, problems with your vision, weakness in your arms or legs, and dizziness. Blood problems. Your body may not make enough of the blood cells that help fight infections or help to stop bleeding. Symptoms include fever that does not go away, bruising or bleeding very easily, or looking very pale. New heart failure or worsening of heart failure you already have. Call your doctor right away if you get new worsening symptoms of heart failure while taking HUMIRA, including: shortness of breath sudden weight gainswelling of your ankles or feetImmune reactions including lupus-like syndrome. Symptoms include chest discomfort or pain that does not go away, shortness of breath, joint pain, or rash on your cheeks or arms that gets worse in the sun. Symptoms may improve when you stop HUMIRA. Liver problems. Liver problems can happen in people who use TNF-blocker medicines. These problems can lead to liver failure and death. Call your doctor right away if you have any of these symptoms: feel very tired poor appetite or vomiting skin or eyes look yellow pain on the right side of your stomach (abdomen)Psoriasis. Some people using HUMIRA had new psoriasis or worsening of psoriasis they already had. Tell your doctor if you develop red scaly patches or raised bumps that are filled with pus. Your doctor may decide to stop your treatment with HUMIRA.Call your doctor or get medical care right away if you develop any of the above symptoms. Your treatment with HUMIRA may be stopped.The most common side effects of HUMIRA include:injection site reactions: redness, rash, swelling, itching, or bruising.

Your doctor should test you for TB before starting HUMIRA. Your doctor should check you closely for signs and symptoms of TB during treatment with HUMIRA.. think you have an infection or have symptoms of an infection such as:. fever, sweats, or chills muscle aches cough shortness of breath blood in phlegm. warm, red, or painful skin or sores on your body diarrhea or stomach pain burning when you urinate or urinate more often than normal feel very tired weight loss. are being treated for an infection. get lot of infections or have infections that keep coming back. have diabetes. have TB, or have been in close contact with someone with TB. were born in, lived in, or traveled to countries where there is more risk for getting TB. Ask your doctor if you are not sure. live or have lived in certain parts of the country (such as the Ohio and Mississippi River valleys) where there is an increased risk for getting certain kinds of fungal infections (histoplasmosis, coccidioidomycosis, or blastomycosis). These infections may happen or become more severe if you use HUMIRA. Ask your doctor if you do not know if you have lived in an area where these infections are common. have or have had hepatitis B. use the medicine ORENCIA (abatacept), KINERET (anakinra), RITUXAN (rituximab), IMURAN (azathioprine), or PURINETHOL (6-mercaptopurine, 6-MP). are scheduled to have major surgery.. For children and adults taking Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF)-blockers, including HUMIRA, the chances of getting cancer may increase. There have been cases of unusual cancers in children, teenagers, and young adults using TNF-blockers. People with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), especially more serious RA, may have higher chance for getting kind of cancer called lymphoma. If you use TNF blockers including HUMIRA your chance of getting two types of skin cancer may increase (basal cell cancer and squamous cell cancer of the skin). These types of cancer are generally not life-threatening if treated. Tell your doctor if you have bump or open sore that does not heal. Some people receiving TNF blockers including HUMIRA developed rare type of cancer called hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma. This type of cancer often results in death. Most of these people were male teenagers or young men. Also, most people were being treated for Crohns disease or ulcerative colitis with another medicine called IMURAN (azathioprine) or PURINETHOL (6-mercaptopurine, 6-MP). To reduce the signs and symptoms of: moderate to severe RA in adults. HUMIRA can be used alone, with methotrexate, or with certain other medicines. moderate to severe polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) in children years and older. HUMIRA can be used alone or with methotrexate. psoriatic arthritis (PsA) in adults. HUMIRA can be used alone or with certain other medicines. ankylosing spondylitis (AS) in adults. moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) in people 12 years and older. To treat moderate to severe Crohns disease (CD) in adults and children years of age and older. To treat moderate to severe ulcerative colitis (UC) in adults and children years of age and older. It is not known if HUMIRA is effective in people who stopped responding to or could not tolerate TNF-blocker medicines. To treat moderate to severe chronic (lasting long time) plaque psoriasis (Ps) in adults who have the condition in many areas of their body and who may benefit from taking injections or pills (systemic therapy) or phototherapy (treatment using ultraviolet light alone or with pills). To treat non-infectious intermediate, posterior, and panuveitis in adults and children years of age and older. have an infection.

HUMIRA is given by an injection under the skin. Your doctor will tell you how often to take an injection of HUMIRA. This is based on your condition to be treated. Do not inject HUMIRA more often than you were prescribed. See the Instructions for Use inside the carton for complete instructions for the right way to prepare and inject HUMIRA. Make sure you have been shown how to inject HUMIRA before you do it yourself. You can call your doctor or 1-800-4HUMIRA (1-800-448-6472) if you have any questions about giving yourself an injection. Someone you know can also help you with your injection after they have been shown how to prepare and inject HUMIRA. Do not try to inject HUMIRA yourself until you have been shown the right way to give the injections. If your doctor decides that you or caregiver may be able to give your injections of HUMIRA at home, you should receive training on the right way to prepare and inject HUMIRA. Do not miss any doses of HUMIRA unless your doctor says it is okay. If you forget to take HUMIRA, inject dose as soon as you remember. Then, take your next dose at your regular scheduled time. This will put you back on schedule. In case you are not sure when to inject HUMIRA, call your doctor or pharmacist. If you take more HUMIRA than you were told to take, call your doctor.. Serious Infections.Your doctor will examine you for TB and perform test to see if you have TB. If your doctor feels that you are at risk for TB, you may be treated with medicine for TB before you begin treatment with HUMIRA and during treatment with HUMIRA. Even if your TB test is negative your doctor should carefully monitor you for TB infections while you are taking HUMIRA. People who had negative TB skin test before receiving HUMIRA have developed active TB. Tell your doctor if you have any of the following symptoms while taking or after taking HUMIRA: cough that does not go away low grade fever. weight loss loss of body fat and muscle (wasting). Hepatitis infection in people who carry the virus in their blood.If you are carrier of the hepatitis virus (a virus that affects the liver), the virus can become active while you use HUMIRA. Your doctor should do blood tests before you start treatment, while you are using HUMIRA, and for several months after you stop treatment with HUMIRA. Tell your doctor if you have any of the following symptoms of possible hepatitis infection: muscle aches feel very tired dark urine skin or eyes look yellow little or no appetite vomiting. clay-colored bowel movements fever chills stomach discomfort skin rash. Allergic reactions. Allergic reactions can happen in people who use HUMIRA. Call your doctor or get medical help right away if you have any of these symptoms of serious allergic reaction:. hives trouble breathing. swelling of your face, eyes, lips or mouth. Nervous system problems. Signs and symptoms of nervous system problem include: numbness or tingling, problems with your vision, weakness in your arms or legs, and dizziness. Blood problems. Your body may not make enough of the blood cells that help fight infections or help to stop bleeding. Symptoms include fever that does not go away, bruising or bleeding very easily, or looking very pale. New heart failure or worsening of heart failure you already have. Call your doctor right away if you get new worsening symptoms of heart failure while taking HUMIRA, including: shortness of breath sudden weight gain. swelling of your ankles or feet. Immune reactions including lupus-like syndrome. Symptoms include chest discomfort or pain that does not go away, shortness of breath, joint pain, or rash on your cheeks or arms that gets worse in the sun. Symptoms may improve when you stop HUMIRA.

SPL UNCLASSIFIED SECTION.


1.1 Rheumatoid Arthritis. HUMIRA is indicated for reducing signs and symptoms, inducing major clinical response, inhibiting the progression of structural damage, and improving physical function in adult patients with moderately to severely active rheumatoid arthritis. HUMIRA can be used alone or in combination with methotrexate or other non-biologic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs).

USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS SECTION.


8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS. 8.1 Pregnancy. Risk SummaryAvailable studies with use of adalimumab during pregnancy do not reliably establish an association between adalimumab and major birth defects. Clinical data are available from the Organization of Teratology Information Specialists (OTIS)/MotherToBaby HUMIRA Pregnancy Registry in pregnant women with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) or Crohns disease (CD). Registry results showed rate of 10% for major birth defects with first trimester use of adalimumab in pregnant women with RA or CD and rate of 7.5% for major birth defects in the disease-matched comparison cohort. The lack of pattern of major birth defects is reassuring and differences between exposure groups may have impacted the occurrence of birth defects (see Data ). Adalimumab is actively transferred across the placenta during the third trimester of pregnancy and may affect immune response in the in-utero exposed infant (see Clinical Considerations ). In an embryo-fetal perinatal development study conducted in cynomolgus monkeys, no fetal harm or malformations were observed with intravenous administration of adalimumab during organogenesis and later in gestation, at doses that produced exposures up to approximately 373 times the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) of 40 mg subcutaneous without methotrexate (see Data ). The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated populations is unknown. All pregnancies have background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2-4% and 15-20%, respectively. Clinical ConsiderationsDisease-associated maternal and embryo/fetal riskPublished data suggest that the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes in women with RA or inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is associated with increased disease activity. Adverse pregnancy outcomes include preterm delivery (before 37 weeks of gestation), low birth weight (less than 2500 g) infants, and small for gestational age at birth. Fetal/Neonatal Adverse ReactionsMonoclonal antibodies are increasingly transported across the placenta as pregnancy progresses, with the largest amount transferred during the third trimester (see Data ). Risks and benefits should be considered prior to administering live or live-attenuated vaccines to infants exposed to HUMIRA in utero [see Use in Specific Populations 8.4 ]. DataHuman DataA prospective cohort pregnancy exposure registry conducted by OTIS/MotherToBaby in the U.S. and Canada between 2004 and 2016 compared the risk of major birth defects in live-born infants of 221 women (69 RA, 152 CD) treated with adalimumab during the first trimester and 106 women (74 RA, 32 CD) not treated with adalimumab. The proportion of major birth defects among live-born infants in the adalimumab-treated and untreated cohorts was 10% (8.7% RA, 10.5% CD) and 7.5% (6.8% RA, 9.4% CD), respectively. The lack of pattern of major birth defects is reassuring and differences between exposure groups may have impacted the occurrence of birth defects. This study cannot reliably establish whether there is an association between adalimumab and major birth defects because of methodological limitations of the registry, including small sample size, the voluntary nature of the study, and the non-randomized design. In an independent clinical study conducted in ten pregnant women with IBD treated with HUMIRA, adalimumab concentrations were measured in maternal serum as well as in cord blood (n=10) and infant serum (n=8) on the day of birth. The last dose of HUMIRA was given between and 56 days prior to delivery. Adalimumab concentrations were 0.16-19.7 ug/mL in cord blood, 4.28-17.7 ug/mL in infant serum, and 0-16.1 ug/mL in maternal serum. In all but one case, the cord blood concentration of adalimumab was higher than the maternal serum concentration, suggesting adalimumab actively crosses the placenta. In addition, one infant had serum concentrations at each of the following: weeks (1.94 ug/mL), weeks (1.31 ug/mL), weeks (0.93 ug/mL), and 11 weeks (0.53 ug/mL), suggesting adalimumab can be detected in the serum of infants exposed in utero for at least months from birth. Animal DataIn an embryo-fetal perinatal development study, pregnant cynomolgus monkeys received adalimumab from gestation days 20 to 97 at doses that produced exposures up to 373 times that achieved with the MRHD without methotrexate (on an AUC basis with maternal IV doses up to 100 mg/kg/week). Adalimumab did not elicit harm to the fetuses or malformations. 8.2 Lactation. Risk SummaryLimited data from case reports in the published literature describe the presence of adalimumab in human milk at infant doses of 0.1% to 1% of the maternal serum concentration. Published data suggest that the systemic exposure to breastfed infant is expected to be low because adalimumab is large molecule and is degraded in the gastrointestinal tract. However, the effects of local exposure in the gastrointestinal tract are unknown. There are no reports of adverse effects of adalimumab on the breastfed infant and no effects on milk production. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mothers clinical need for HUMIRA and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from HUMIRA or from the underlying maternal condition. 8.4 Pediatric Use. The safety and effectiveness of HUMIRA have been established for: reducing signs and symptoms of moderately to severely active polyarticular JIA in pediatric patients years of age and older. the treatment of moderately to severely active Crohns disease in pediatric patients years of age and older. the treatment of moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis in pediatric patients years of age and older. the treatment of moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa in patients 12 years of age and older. the treatment of non-infectious intermediate, posterior, and panuveitis in pediatric patients years of age and older.Due to its inhibition of TNF, HUMIRA administered during pregnancy could affect immune response in the in utero-exposed newborn and infant. Data from eight infants exposed to HUMIRA in utero suggest adalimumab crosses the placenta [see Use in Specific Populations 8.1 )]. The clinical significance of elevated adalimumab concentrations in infants is unknown. The safety of administering live or live-attenuated vaccines in exposed infants is unknown. Risks and benefits should be considered prior to vaccinating (live or live-attenuated) exposed infants. Post-marketing cases of lymphoma, including hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma and other malignancies, some fatal, have been reported among children, adolescents, and young adults who received treatment with TNF-blockers including HUMIRA [see Warnings and Precautions 5.2 ]. Juvenile Idiopathic ArthritisIn Study JIA-I, HUMIRA was shown to reduce signs and symptoms of active polyarticular JIA in patients to 17 years of age [see Clinical Studies 14.2 ]. In Study JIA-II, the safety profile for patients to <4 years of age was similar to the safety profile for patients to 17 years of age with polyarticular JIA [see Adverse Reactions 6.1 ]. HUMIRA has not been studied in patients with polyarticular JIA less than years of age or in patients with weight below 10 kg. The safety of HUMIRA in patients in the polyarticular JIA trials was generally similar to that observed in adults with certain exceptions [see Adverse Reactions 6.1 ]. The safety and effectiveness of HUMIRA have not been established in pediatric patients with JIA less than years of age.Pediatric Crohns DiseaseThe safety and effectiveness of HUMIRA for the treatment of moderately to severely active Crohns disease have been established in pediatric patients years of age and older. Use of HUMIRA for this indication is supported by evidence from adequate and well-controlled studies in adults with additional data from randomized, double-blind, 52-week clinical study of two dose concentrations of HUMIRA in 192 pediatric patients (6 years to 17 years of age) [see Adverse Reactions 6.1 , Clinical Pharmacology 12.2 12.3 ), Clinical Studies 14.6 ]. The adverse reaction profile in patients years to 17 years of age was similar to adults. The safety and effectiveness of HUMIRA have not been established in pediatric patients with Crohns disease less than years of age. Pediatric Ulcerative ColitisThe safety and effectiveness of HUMIRA for the treatment of moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis have been established in pediatric patients years of age and older. Use of HUMIRA for this indication is supported by evidence from adequate and well-controlled studies in adults with additional data from randomized, double-blind, 52-week clinical study of two dose concentrations of HUMIRA in 93 pediatric patients (5 years to 17 years of age) [see Adverse Reactions 6.1 , Clinical Pharmacology 12.3 , Clinical Studies 14.8 ]. The adverse reaction profile in patients years to 17 years of age was similar to adults. The effectiveness of HUMIRA has not been established in patients who have lost response or were intolerant to TNF blockers.The safety and effectiveness of HUMIRA have not been established in pediatric patients with ulcerative colitis less than years of age.Pediatric UveitisThe safety and effectiveness of HUMIRA for the treatment of non-infectious uveitis have been established in pediatric patients years of age and older. The use of HUMIRA is supported by evidence from adequate and well-controlled studies of HUMIRA in adults and 2:1 randomized, controlled clinical study in 90 pediatric patients [see Clinical Studies 14.12 ]. The safety and effectiveness of HUMIRA have not been established in pediatric patients with uveitis less than years of age. Hidradenitis SuppurativaUse of HUMIRA in pediatric patients 12 years of age and older for HS is supported by evidence from adequate and well-controlled studies of HUMIRA in adult HS patients. Additional population pharmacokinetic modeling and simulation predicted that weight-based dosing of HUMIRA in pediatric patients 12 years of age and older can provide generally similar exposure to adult HS patients. The course of HS is sufficiently similar in adult and adolescent patients to allow extrapolation of data from adult to adolescent patients. The recommended dosage in pediatric patients 12 years of age or older is based on body weight [see Dosage and Administration 2.6 , Clinical Pharmacology 12.3 , and Clinical Studies 14.10 ]. The safety and effectiveness of HUMIRA have not been established in patients less than 12 years of age with HS. reducing signs and symptoms of moderately to severely active polyarticular JIA in pediatric patients years of age and older. the treatment of moderately to severely active Crohns disease in pediatric patients years of age and older. the treatment of moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis in pediatric patients years of age and older. the treatment of moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa in patients 12 years of age and older. the treatment of non-infectious intermediate, posterior, and panuveitis in pediatric patients years of age and older.. 8.5 Geriatric Use. total of 519 RA patients 65 years of age and older, including 107 patients 75 years of age and older, received HUMIRA in clinical studies RA-I through IV. No overall difference in effectiveness was observed between these patients and younger patients. The frequency of serious infection and malignancy among HUMIRA treated patients 65 years of age and older was higher than for those less than 65 years of age. Consider the benefits and risks of HUMIRA in patients 65 years of age and older. In patients treated with HUMIRA, closely monitor for the development of infection or malignancy [see Warnings and Precautions 5.1 5.2 )].

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS SECTION.


5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Serious infections: Do not start HUMIRA during an active infection. If an infection develops, monitor carefully, and stop HUMIRA if infection becomes serious. (5.1) Invasive fungal infections: For patients who develop systemic illness on HUMIRA, consider empiric antifungal therapy for those who reside or travel to regions where mycoses are endemic. (5.1) Malignancies: Incidence of malignancies was greater in HUMIRA-treated patients than in controls (5.2) Anaphylaxis or serious hypersensitivity reactions may occur (5.3) Hepatitis virus reactivation: Monitor HBV carriers during and several months after therapy. If reactivation occurs, stop HUMIRA and begin anti-viral therapy. (5.4) Demyelinating disease: Exacerbation or new onset, may occur. (5.5) Cytopenias, pancytopenia: Advise patients to seek immediate medical attention if symptoms develop, and consider stopping HUMIRA. (5.6) Heart failure: Worsening or new onset, may occur. (5.8) Lupus-like syndrome: Stop HUMIRA if syndrome develops. (5.9) Serious infections: Do not start HUMIRA during an active infection. If an infection develops, monitor carefully, and stop HUMIRA if infection becomes serious. (5.1) Invasive fungal infections: For patients who develop systemic illness on HUMIRA, consider empiric antifungal therapy for those who reside or travel to regions where mycoses are endemic. (5.1) Malignancies: Incidence of malignancies was greater in HUMIRA-treated patients than in controls (5.2) Anaphylaxis or serious hypersensitivity reactions may occur (5.3) Hepatitis virus reactivation: Monitor HBV carriers during and several months after therapy.

(5.8) Lupus-like syndrome: Stop HUMIRA if syndrome develops. (5.9). 5.1 Serious Infections. Patients treated with HUMIRA are at increased risk for developing serious infections involving various organ systems and sites that may lead to hospitalization or death. Opportunistic infections due to bacterial, mycobacterial, invasive fungal, viral, parasitic, or other opportunistic pathogens including aspergillosis, blastomycosis, candidiasis, coccidioidomycosis, histoplasmosis, legionellosis, listeriosis, pneumocystosis and tuberculosis have been reported with TNF blockers. Patients have frequently presented with disseminated rather than localized disease. The concomitant use of TNF blocker and abatacept or anakinra was associated with higher risk of serious infections in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA); therefore, the concomitant use of HUMIRA and these biologic products is not recommended in the treatment of patients with RA [see Warnings and Precautions 5.7 5.11 and Drug Interactions 7.2 )]. Treatment with HUMIRA should not be initiated in patients with an active infection, including localized infections. Patients 65 years of age and older, patients with co-morbid conditions and/or patients taking concomitant immunosuppressants (such as corticosteroids or methotrexate), may be at greater risk of infection. Consider the risks and benefits of treatment prior to initiating therapy in patients: with chronic or recurrent infection; who have been exposed to tuberculosis; with history of an opportunistic infection; who have resided or traveled in areas of endemic tuberculosis or endemic mycoses, such as histoplasmosis, coccidioidomycosis, or blastomycosis; or with underlying conditions that may predispose them to infection.TuberculosisCases of reactivation of tuberculosis and new onset tuberculosis infections have been reported in patients receiving HUMIRA, including patients who have previously received treatment for latent or active tuberculosis. Reports included cases of pulmonary and extrapulmonary (i.e., disseminated) tuberculosis. Evaluate patients for tuberculosis risk factors and test for latent infection prior to initiating HUMIRA and periodically during therapy. Treatment of latent tuberculosis infection prior to therapy with TNF blocking agents has been shown to reduce the risk of tuberculosis reactivation during therapy. Prior to initiating HUMIRA, assess if treatment for latent tuberculosis is needed; and consider an induration of >= mm positive tuberculin skin test result, even for patients previously vaccinated with Bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG). Consider anti-tuberculosis therapy prior to initiation of HUMIRA in patients with past history of latent or active tuberculosis in whom an adequate course of treatment cannot be confirmed, and for patients with negative test for latent tuberculosis but having risk factors for tuberculosis infection. Despite prophylactic treatment for tuberculosis, cases of reactivated tuberculosis have occurred in patients treated with HUMIRA. Consultation with physician with expertise in the treatment of tuberculosis is recommended to aid in the decision whether initiating anti-tuberculosis therapy is appropriate for an individual patient. Strongly consider tuberculosis in the differential diagnosis in patients who develop new infection during HUMIRA treatment, especially in patients who have previously or recently traveled to countries with high prevalence of tuberculosis, or who have had close contact with person with active tuberculosis. MonitoringClosely monitor patients for the development of signs and symptoms of infection during and after treatment with HUMIRA, including the development of tuberculosis in patients who tested negative for latent tuberculosis infection prior to initiating therapy. Tests for latent tuberculosis infection may also be falsely negative while on therapy with HUMIRA. Discontinue HUMIRA if patient develops serious infection or sepsis. For patient who develops new infection during treatment with HUMIRA, closely monitor them, perform prompt and complete diagnostic workup appropriate for an immunocompromised patient, and initiate appropriate antimicrobial therapy. Invasive Fungal InfectionsIf patients develop serious systemic illness and they reside or travel in regions where mycoses are endemic, consider invasive fungal infection in the differential diagnosis. Antigen and antibody testing for histoplasmosis may be negative in some patients with active infection. Consider appropriate empiric antifungal therapy, taking into account both the risk for severe fungal infection and the risks of antifungal therapy, while diagnostic workup is being performed. To aid in the management of such patients, consider consultation with physician with expertise in the diagnosis and treatment of invasive fungal infections. with chronic or recurrent infection; who have been exposed to tuberculosis; with history of an opportunistic infection; who have resided or traveled in areas of endemic tuberculosis or endemic mycoses, such as histoplasmosis, coccidioidomycosis, or blastomycosis; or with underlying conditions that may predispose them to infection.. 5.2 Malignancies. Consider the risks and benefits of TNF-blocker treatment including HUMIRA prior to initiating therapy in patients with known malignancy other than successfully treated non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) or when considering continuing TNF blocker in patients who develop malignancy. Malignancies in AdultsIn the controlled portions of clinical trials of some TNF-blockers, including HUMIRA, more cases of malignancies have been observed among TNF-blocker-treated adult patients compared to control-treated adult patients. During the controlled portions of 39 global HUMIRA clinical trials in adult patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), ankylosing spondylitis (AS), Crohns disease (CD), ulcerative colitis (UC), plaque psoriasis (Ps), hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) and uveitis (UV), malignancies, other than non-melanoma (basal cell and squamous cell) skin cancer, were observed at rate (95% confidence interval) of 0.7 (0.48, 1.03) per 100 patient-years among 7973 HUMIRA-treated patients versus rate of 0.7 (0.41, 1.17) per 100 patient-years among 4848 control-treated patients (median duration of treatment of months for HUMIRA-treated patients and months for control-treated patients). In 52 global controlled and uncontrolled clinical trials of HUMIRA in adult patients with RA, PsA, AS, CD, UC, Ps, HS and UV, the most frequently observed malignancies, other than lymphoma and NMSC, were breast, colon, prostate, lung, and melanoma. The malignancies in HUMIRA-treated patients in the controlled and uncontrolled portions of the studies were similar in type and number to what would be expected in the general U.S. population according to the SEER database (adjusted for age, gender, and race).1 In controlled trials of other TNF blockers in adult patients at higher risk for malignancies (i.e., patients with COPD with significant smoking history and cyclophosphamide-treated patients with Wegeners granulomatosis), greater portion of malignancies occurred in the TNF blocker group compared to the control group. Non-Melanoma Skin CancerDuring the controlled portions of 39 global HUMIRA clinical trials in adult patients with RA, PsA, AS, CD, UC, Ps, HS and UV, the rate (95% confidence interval) of NMSC was 0.8 (0.52, 1.09) per 100 patient-years among HUMIRA-treated patients and 0.2 (0.10, 0.59) per 100 patient-years among control-treated patients. Examine all patients, and in particular patients with medical history of prior prolonged immunosuppressant therapy or psoriasis patients with history of PUVA treatment for the presence of NMSC prior to and during treatment with HUMIRA. Lymphoma and LeukemiaIn the controlled portions of clinical trials of all the TNF-blockers in adults, more cases of lymphoma have been observed among TNF-blocker-treated patients compared to control-treated patients. In the controlled portions of 39 global HUMIRA clinical trials in adult patients with RA, PsA, AS, CD, UC, Ps, HS and UV, lymphomas occurred among 7973 HUMIRA-treated patients versus among 4848 control-treated patients. In 52 global controlled and uncontrolled clinical trials of HUMIRA in adult patients with RA, PsA, AS, CD, UC, Ps, HS and UV with median duration of approximately 0.7 years, including 24,605 patients and over 40,215 patient-years of HUMIRA, the observed rate of lymphomas was approximately 0.11 per 100 patient-years. This is approximately 3-fold higher than expected in the general U.S. population according to the SEER database (adjusted for age, gender, and race).1 Rates of lymphoma in clinical trials of HUMIRA cannot be compared to rates of lymphoma in clinical trials of other TNF blockers and may not predict the rates observed in broader patient population. Patients with RA and other chronic inflammatory diseases, particularly those with highly active disease and/or chronic exposure to immunosuppressant therapies, may be at higher risk (up to several fold) than the general population for the development of lymphoma, even in the absence of TNF blockers. Post-marketing cases of acute and chronic leukemia have been reported in association with TNF-blocker use in RA and other indications. Even in the absence of TNF-blocker therapy, patients with RA may be at higher risk (approximately 2-fold) than the general population for the development of leukemia. Malignancies in Pediatric Patients and Young AdultsMalignancies, some fatal, have been reported among children, adolescents, and young adults who received treatment with TNF-blockers (initiation of therapy <= 18 years of age), of which HUMIRA is member. Approximately half the cases were lymphomas, including Hodgkins and non-Hodgkins lymphoma. The other cases represented variety of different malignancies and included rare malignancies usually associated with immunosuppression and malignancies that are not usually observed in children and adolescents. The malignancies occurred after median of 30 months of therapy (range to 84 months). Most of the patients were receiving concomitant immunosuppressants. These cases were reported post-marketing and are derived from variety of sources including registries and spontaneous postmarketing reports. Postmarketing cases of hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma (HSTCL), rare type of T-cell lymphoma, have been reported in patients treated with TNF blockers including HUMIRA. These cases have had very aggressive disease course and have been fatal. The majority of reported TNF blocker cases have occurred in patients with Crohns disease or ulcerative colitis and the majority were in adolescent and young adult males. Almost all of these patients had received treatment with the immunosuppressants azathioprine or 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP) concomitantly with TNF blocker at or prior to diagnosis. It is uncertain whether the occurrence of HSTCL is related to use of TNF blocker or TNF blocker in combination with these other immunosuppressants. The potential risk with the combination of azathioprine or 6-mercaptopurine and HUMIRA should be carefully considered. 5.3 Hypersensitivity Reactions. Anaphylaxis and angioneurotic edema have been reported following HUMIRA administration. If an anaphylactic or other serious allergic reaction occurs, immediately discontinue administration of HUMIRA and institute appropriate therapy. In clinical trials of HUMIRA, hypersensitivity reactions (e.g., rash, anaphylactoid reaction, fixed drug reaction, non-specified drug reaction, urticaria) have been observed. 5.4 Hepatitis Virus Reactivation. Use of TNF blockers, including HUMIRA, may increase the risk of reactivation of hepatitis virus (HBV) in patients who are chronic carriers of this virus. In some instances, HBV reactivation occurring in conjunction with TNF blocker therapy has been fatal. The majority of these reports have occurred in patients concomitantly receiving other medications that suppress the immune system, which may also contribute to HBV reactivation. Evaluate patients at risk for HBV infection for prior evidence of HBV infection before initiating TNF blocker therapy. Exercise caution in prescribing TNF blockers for patients identified as carriers of HBV. Adequate data are not available on the safety or efficacy of treating patients who are carriers of HBV with anti-viral therapy in conjunction with TNF blocker therapy to prevent HBV reactivation. For patients who are carriers of HBV and require treatment with TNF blockers, closely monitor such patients for clinical and laboratory signs of active HBV infection throughout therapy and for several months following termination of therapy. In patients who develop HBV reactivation, stop HUMIRA and initiate effective anti-viral therapy with appropriate supportive treatment. The safety of resuming TNF blocker therapy after HBV reactivation is controlled is not known. Therefore, exercise caution when considering resumption of HUMIRA therapy in this situation and monitor patients closely. 5.5 Neurologic Reactions. Use of TNF blocking agents, including HUMIRA, has been associated with rare cases of new onset or exacerbation of clinical symptoms and/or radiographic evidence of central nervous system demyelinating disease, including multiple sclerosis (MS) and optic neuritis, and peripheral demyelinating disease, including Guillain-Barre syndrome. Exercise caution in considering the use of HUMIRA in patients with preexisting or recent-onset central or peripheral nervous system demyelinating disorders; discontinuation of HUMIRA should be considered if any of these disorders develop. There is known association between intermediate uveitis and central demyelinating disorders. 5.6 Hematological Reactions. Rare reports of pancytopenia including aplastic anemia have been reported with TNF blocking agents. Adverse reactions of the hematologic system, including medically significant cytopenia (e.g., thrombocytopenia, leukopenia) have been infrequently reported with HUMIRA. The causal relationship of these reports to HUMIRA remains unclear. Advise all patients to seek immediate medical attention if they develop signs and symptoms suggestive of blood dyscrasias or infection (e.g., persistent fever, bruising, bleeding, pallor) while on HUMIRA. Consider discontinuation of HUMIRA therapy in patients with confirmed significant hematologic abnormalities. 5.7 Increased Risk of Infection When Used with Anakinra. Concurrent use of anakinra (an interleukin-1 antagonist) and another TNF-blocker, was associated with greater proportion of serious infections and neutropenia and no added benefit compared with the TNF-blocker alone in patients with RA. Therefore, the combination of HUMIRA and anakinra is not recommended [see Drug Interactions 7.2 ]. 5.8 Heart Failure. Cases of worsening congestive heart failure (CHF) and new onset CHF have been reported with TNF blockers. Cases of worsening CHF have also been observed with HUMIRA. HUMIRA has not been formally studied in patients with CHF; however, in clinical trials of another TNF blocker, higher rate of serious CHF-related adverse reactions was observed. Exercise caution when using HUMIRA in patients who have heart failure and monitor them carefully. 5.9 Autoimmunity. Treatment with HUMIRA may result in the formation of autoantibodies and, rarely, in the development of lupus-like syndrome. If patient develops symptoms suggestive of lupus-like syndrome following treatment with HUMIRA, discontinue treatment [see Adverse Reactions 6.1 ]. 5.10 Immunizations. In placebo-controlled clinical trial of patients with RA, no difference was detected in anti-pneumococcal antibody response between HUMIRA and placebo treatment groups when the pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine and influenza vaccine were administered concurrently with HUMIRA. Similar proportions of patients developed protective levels of anti-influenza antibodies between HUMIRA and placebo treatment groups; however, titers in aggregate to influenza antigens were moderately lower in patients receiving HUMIRA. The clinical significance of this is unknown. Patients on HUMIRA may receive concurrent vaccinations, except for live vaccines. No data are available on the secondary transmission of infection by live vaccines in patients receiving HUMIRA. It is recommended that pediatric patients, if possible, be brought up to date with all immunizations in agreement with current immunization guidelines prior to initiating HUMIRA therapy. Patients on HUMIRA may receive concurrent vaccinations, except for live vaccines. The safety of administering live or live-attenuated vaccines in infants exposed to HUMIRA in utero is unknown. Risks and benefits should be considered prior to vaccinating (live or live-attenuated) exposed infants [see Use in Specific Populations 8.1, 8.4 )]. 5.11 Increased risk of Infection When Used with Abatacept. In controlled trials, the concurrent administration of TNF-blockers and abatacept was associated with greater proportion of serious infections than the use of TNF-blocker alone; the combination therapy, compared to the use of TNF-blocker alone, has not demonstrated improved clinical benefit in the treatment of RA. Therefore, the combination of abatacept with TNF-blockers including HUMIRA is not recommended [see Drug Interactions 7.2 ].
