Adalimumab (ADA), a fully human monoclonal antibody against TNF-α is indicated for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, juvenile idiopathic arthritis, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis and psoriasis. In RA, it may be prescribed in combination with methotrexate or other disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs or as monotherapy. Studies comparing ADA with other TNF-α inhibitors are limited and are based mainly on meta-analyses of randomised controlled trials and large observational cohorts. In this study, the effectiveness and safety of ADA is compared with that of etanercept and infliximab.
