In the initial 6-month double-blind (DB) period, patients received IV or SC ABA, plus MTX, and in the subsequent open-label longterm extension (LTE) period, all patients received SC ABA (125 mg\/wk).

During LTE, 97 (7.1%) patients discontinued treatment because of an adverse event (AE). Incidence rate (IR; event\/100 patient-yrs of exposure; based on LTE data, 95% CI) for AE of interest were the following: serious AE 7.73 (6.96\u20138.58), infection 38.60 (36.24\u201341.12), serious infection 1.68 (1.35\u20132.07), malignancies 1.09 (0.84\u20131.42), and autoimmune disorders 1.33 (1.05\u20131.69), and were stable over time.
