Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Active comparator: Part 1: MTX Escalated Dose - Methotrexate (MTX) escalated to 20 - 25 mg or highest tolerable dose every week (ew)

Experimental: Part 1: ADA + MTX - Adalimumab (ADA) 40 mg every other week (eow) in combination with MTX 15 mg ew

Active comparator: Part 2: MTX Escalated Dose - Participants achieving minimal disease activity (MDA) at Week 16 on MTX escalated to 20 -25 mg or highest tolerable dose ew, continued with the same MTX dose

Active comparator: Part 2: ADA + MTX Escalated Dose - Participants not achieving MDA at Week 16 on MTX escalated to 20 - 25 mg or highest tolerable dose ew, received ADA 40 mg eow in combination with MTX 20 - 25 mg or highest tolerable dose ew

Experimental: Part 2: ADA - Participants achieving MDA at Week 16 on ADA 40 mg eow plus MTX 15 mg ew, had MTX completely withdrawn at Week 16 and continued receiving ADA as monotherapy

Experimental: Part 2: ADA ew + MTX - Participants not achieving MDA at Week 16 on ADA 40 mg eow plus MTX 15 mg ew, had ADA escalated to 40 mg ew in combination with MTX 15 mg ew
