Clinical trial to evaluate Usability of Subcutaneous Auto-injector of CT-P17 in Patients With Active Rheumatoid Arthritis
CT-P17, containing the active ingredient adalimumab, is a recombinant humanized monoclonal antibody that is being developed as a similar biological medicinal product to Humira. The purpose of this study is to evaluate usability of subcutaneous auto-injector of CT-P17 in patients with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis.

The Usability as Assessed by Patients Rating Using PRE- and POST-Self-Injection Assessment Questionnaire (SIAQ) at Week 4
The usability of CT-P17 Auto Injector is measured by participant using PRE- and POST-Self-injection Assessment Questionnaire (SIAQ) modules. The PRE-SIAQ module is a 7-item questionnaire and the POST-SIAQ module is a 27-item questionnaire that assesses feelings about injections, self-image, self-confidence (regarding self-administration), pain and skin reactions before after injection. Participants rated each item of the SIAQ on a 5-point (or 6-point) semantic Likert-type scal. (each item graded on a 5-point scale). \[Scores were transformed to Rate between 0 (worst) to 10 (best)\]

Mean for Actual Values and Change From Baseline in DAS28 (CRP and ESR)
DAS28 (CRP) was calculated using the following formula: DAS28 (CRP) = 0.56 X SQRT(TJC28) + 0.28 X SQRT(SJC28) + 0.36 X ln(CRP+1) + 0.014 X GH on VAS + 0.96. DAS28 (CRP) provides a number on a scale from 0 to 10 with higher values indicating greater RA disease activity. DAS28 (ESR) was calculated using the following formula: DAS28 (CRP) = 0.56 X SQRT(TJC28) + 0.28 X SQRT(SJC28) + 0.36 X ln(ESR) + 0.014 X GH on VAS. DAS28 (ESR) provides a number on a scale from 0 to 10 with higher values indicating greater RA disease activity. Abbreviation: CRP, C-reactive protein; DAS28, Disease Activity Score using 28 joint counts; ESR, Erythrocyte sedimentation rate
