- The study aimed to assess how successful patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) were at self-administering a new adalimumab biosimilar using a prefilled pen during a specific treatment period in a clinical trial.
- A total of 50 participants, mostly women with a mean age of about 55, were included in the analysis, with nearly all successfully completing their injections and achieving a 100% delivery success rate across 294 attempts.
- Most participants preferred to continue using the prefilled pen for their injections instead of switching back to the older syringe option, indicating that the new method was well-received and effective.
