  • *Patients included in this analysis are those who had a radiographic measure at baseline, week 24, week 48 and at week 96 or week 144. Data are imputed; for patients who did not have a week 144 modified total Sharp score (mTSS), the week 96 mTSS was used.

  • †Progression was defined as a mean change in mTSS >0.5 from baseline to week 24.

  • ‡Patients who were randomly assigned to receive placebo during the double-blind phase of the study began receiving open-label adalimumab 40 mg every other week starting at week 24.
