How HUMIRA Works

HUMIRA helps stop further irreversible joint damage and can improve joint pain, swelling, and stiffness in patients with moderate to severe RA.

Results of clinical studies

In a study of moderate to severe RA patients diagnosed for an average of 11 years who added HUMIRA to methotrexate:

63% of people who took HUMIRA® with methotrexate saw a 20% improvement in RA signs and symptoms

63% of people who took HUMIRA with methotrexate saw improvement in RA signs and symptoms (compared to 30% of people taking methotrexate alone).

When compared with methotrexate alone in a clinical study, more people taking HUMIRA and methotrexate saw a 20% improvement in the signs and symptoms of RA at 6 months.

In a separate study of patients with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis (diagnosed for less than three years and not previously treated with methotrexate), combining HUMIRA and methotrexate showed:

64% of people taking HUMIRA with methotrexate had no further joint damage as seen on X-ray 1 year after treatment (compared to 37% of people taking methotrexate alone).

64% of people taking HUMIRA® with methotrexate had no further joint damage as seen on X-ray 1 year after treatment

HUMIRA and methotrexate—five times more effective at slowing the progression of joint damage

HUMIRA® and methotrexate were 5 times more effective at slowing the progression of joint damage

In the same study, the combination of HUMIRA and methotrexate, on average, was 5 times more effective at slowing the progression of joint damage than methotrexate alone after 2 years.
