Warnings and Precautions:
Warning: Risk of Serious Infections
• Serious infections leading to hospitalization or death, including tuberculosis (TB), bacterial, invasive
fungal, viral, and other opportunistic infections, have occurred in patients receiving ACTEMRA
• ACTEMRA should not be administered during an active infection, including localized infections
• If a serious infection develops, ACTEMRA should be interrupted until the infection is controlled
• Prior to initiating ACTEMRA, a test for latent TB should be performed
• If the test is positive, treatment for TB should be started prior to starting ACTEMRA
• All patients should be monitored for active TB during treatment, even if initial latent TB test is negative
• The benefits and risks of treatment should be considered prior to initiating ACTEMRA in patients:
– with chronic or recurrent infection
– who have been exposed to TB
– who have a history of serious or opportunistic infections
– who have resided or traveled in areas of endemic TB or mycoses
– with underlying conditions that may predispose them to infection
• Patients should be closely monitored for signs and symptoms of infection during and after treatment
with ACTEMRA
Contraindication
• ACTEMRA is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to ACTEMRA
Please see full Prescribing Information including Boxed Warning for additional important safety information

Important Safety Information
SERIOUS INFECTIONS
Patients treated with HUMIRA are at increased risk for developing serious
infections that may lead to hospitalization or death. Most patients who developed
these infections were taking concomitant immunosuppressants such as
methotrexate or corticosteroids.
HUMIRA should be discontinued if a patient develops a serious infection or sepsis.
Reported infections include:
• Active tuberculosis (TB), including reactivation of latent TB. Patients with TB
have frequently presented with disseminated or extrapulmonary disease.
Patients should be tested for latent TB before HUMIRA use and during therapy.
Treatment for latent TB should be initiated prior to HUMIRA use.
• Invasive fungal infections, including histoplasmosis, coccidioidomycosis,
candidiasis, aspergillosis, blastomycosis, and pneumocystosis. Patients
with histoplasmosis or other invasive fungal infections may present with
disseminated, rather than localized, disease. Antigen and antibody testing for
histoplasmosis may be negative in some patients with active infection. Empiric
anti-fungal therapy should be considered in patients at risk for invasive fungal
infections who develop severe systemic illness.
• Bacterial, viral, and other infections due to opportunistic pathogens, including
Legionella and Listeria.

Important Safety Information
SERIOUS INFECTIONS (continued)
The risks and benefits of treatment with HUMIRA should be carefully considered
prior to initiating therapy in patients with chronic or recurrent infection. Patients
should be closely monitored for the development of signs and symptoms of
infection during and after treatment with HUMIRA, including the possible
development of TB in patients who tested negative for latent TB infection prior to
initiating therapy.
•
•
•
•
•
Do not start HUMIRA in patients with an active infection, including localized
infections.
Patients older than 65 years, patients with co-morbid conditions, and/or patients
taking concomitant immunosuppressants may be at greater risk of infection.
Exercise caution in patients with chronic or recurrent infection or with underlying
conditions which may predispose them to infection, patients who have been
exposed to TB, patients with a history of opportunistic infection, or patients who
have resided or traveled in regions where TB or mycoses are endemic.
Patients who develop a new infection should undergo a prompt and complete
diagnostic workup, and appropriate antimicrobial therapy should be initiated.
Drug interactions with biologic products: Concurrent use of anakinra or abatacept
with HUMIRA is not recommended, as the combination of anakinra or abatacept
with TNF blockers has been associated with an increased risk of serious infections.
This risk has also been observed with rheumatoid arthritis patients treated with
rituximab who received subsequent treatment with a TNF blocker.

Important Safety Information
MALIGNANCY
Lymphoma and other malignancies, some fatal, have been reported in children
and adolescent patients treated with TNF blockers, of which HUMIRA is a
member. Postmarketing cases of hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma (HSTCL), a
rare
type of T-cell lymphoma, have been reported in patients treated with TNF
blockers including HUMIRA. These cases have had a very aggressive disease
course and have been fatal. The majority of reported TNF blocker cases has
occurred in patients with Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis and the majority
were in adolescent and young adult males. Almost all these patients had
received treatment with azathioprine or 6-mercaptopurine concomitantly with a
TNF blocker at or prior to diagnosis. It is uncertain whether the occurrence of
HSTCL is related to use of a TNF blocker or a TNF blocker in combination with
these other immunosuppressants.
•
•
The risks and benefits of HUMIRA treatment should be considered prior to
initiating or continuing therapy in a patient with known malignancy.
More cases of malignancies were observed among HUMIRA-treated patients
compared to control patients in clinical trials.

Output of Safety Data Collected
Standardized Incidence Rate (SIR)
• Ratio of observed events to expected events in a population
For example:
• If 10 malignancies were observed in drug trials, and
• 20 malignancies were expected in the general population, then
• The SIR (standard incidence rate) for malignancies = 0.5
What does an SIR < 1.0 mean?
• Number of observed events is less than the number of expected events
What does an SIR > 1.0 mean?
• Number of observed events is more than the number of expected events
27
Expected Events ―
Where Do They Come From?
• The expected number of cancers for SIR calculations was based
on two data sources:
– 5-year age-specific cancer incidence rates obtained from the
National Cancer Institute (NCI) Surveillance Epidemiology and
End Results (SEER) database (1993-2001) for all cancers other
than non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC)
– 10-year age-specific incidence rates for NMSC from an NCI
survey
of 8 locations in the US (1977-1978)

Safety of Synthetic and Biological DMARDs: a
systematic literature review (SLR) informing the 2013
update of the EULAR recommendations for
management of RA
• Published with efficacy in RA and the “final”
EULAR recommendations for the management of
RA
• Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases March 2014
Vol 73 (3): 492-535.
• SLR of observational studies & registries
comparing bDMARDs vs. sDMARDs vs. general
population…real world.
• RCTs small #’s and short duration…real world?
Conclusions of EULAR Safety ReviewInfections
• Patients on TNFi vs. sDMARDs had a higher
risk of serious infections (aHR 1.1-1.8)
• Patients on TNFi vs. general pop & one
sDMARD study had a higher risk of TB (SIR 12
& 35)
• Patients on TNFi vs. sDMARDs had a higher,
but NS risk for H. Zoster (aHR 1.0-1.7)
• Other Opportunistic infections “to rare to call”
Conclusions of EULAR Safety ReviewMalignancies
• Distinction between comparator of sDMARDs
or general population
• TNFi vs. sDMARDs no difference in cancer,
lymphoma, NMSC except one study questions
rising trend of melanoma
• TNFi vs. general population cancer no higher
except lymphoma (aHRs 2.3-5.9) and NMSC
may be higher (aHR 1.7)
Conclusions of EULAR Safety ReviewOther Issues
• Five studies found no difference in mortality
between TNFi and sDMARDs
• Other safety outcomes, e.g., CHF,
demyelinating diseases, opportunistic
infections, etc. too few studies to evaluate
• For sDMARDs despite a few exceptions there
are no high-quality studies, but no new signals
• In this analysis not enough data to discuss
non-TNF biologics
Conclusions of EULAR Safety ReviewBottom Line
• “In general, these conclusions, while
stemming mainly from registries, confirm the
findings from RCTs and from what was known
from clinical practice.”
