Description
Inclusion Criteria:
• Patients are deemed eligible for study participation if they meet all the following:
- Adult patients (age 18 or older)
- New (within the last 6 months prior to enrollment) inflammatory arthritis defined by any of the following at the time of screening (either on physical exam or by ultrasound) by a certified rheumatologist:
- 1 or more swollen joints OR
- 1 or more tenosynovitis OR
1 or more enthesitis
- Arthritis onset with taking ICI therapy OR within 4 weeks of stopping ICI therapy including CTLA-4, PD-1, and PDL-1 inhibitors
- Initiation of ICI therapy must predate the onset of inflammatory arthritis
- Arthritis either does not respond completely to prednisone doses of 10mg (equivalent) OR recurs with prednisone taper below 10mg daily.
- Negative tuberculosis (TB) status within the past 12 months (TB skin test or quantiferon) for the patients in the adalimumab group. If not available, the status should be confirmed within 6 months of enrollment in the study (adalimumab group only)
- Written informed consent provided by patient or power of attorney
Exclusion Criteria:
- Patients are excluded if they meet any of the following:
Previous diagnosis of inflammatory arthritis or other rheumatic disease (prior to current acute episode)
- Including but not limited to: rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, systemic sclerosis, Sjogren's syndrome, psoriatic arthritis, reactive arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, systemic vasculitis, undifferentiated inflammatory arthritis, undifferentiated connective tissue disease
- Tenosynovitis, synovitis or enthesitis attributed to another cause, fracture or acute gout/CPPD flare.
Presence of a contraindication to adalimumab therapy
- Any of the following in the 7 days prior to initiation of adalimumab: positive tuberculin skin test (>5mm induration within 48 to 72 hours) or positive quantiferon, evidence of untreated active infection including fungal infection, opportunistic infection, hepatitis B/C, or HIV
- Personal history of congestive heart failure
- Personal or family history of demyelinating neurologic disease
- History of previous TNF inhibitor use
- Current use of other disease modifying agents including: Chloroquine, Sulfasalazine, Azathioprine, 6-MP, and Leflunomide
- Presence of a concomitant non-rheumatic irAE which required systemic immunosuppression within the past 3 months e.g. pneumonitis, hepatitis, colitis, scleritis, nephritis
- Require chronic steroid treatment for adrenal insufficiency or another medical reason other than ir-IA
- Pregnancy, breastfeeding or childbearing potential without practicing highly effective contraception.
- Inability to participate in follow-up visits

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Active Comparator: Standard of care group
Prednisone 10 mg daily for 2 weeks, then taper by 2.5 mg every 2 weeks until stopped.
|
Prednisone as per standard of care.
|
Active Comparator: Adalimumab group
Adalimumab 40 mg subcutaneous every 2 weeks for 6 doses (12 weeks) + Prednisone 10 mg daily for 2 weeks, tapering by 2.5 mg every 2 weeks until stopped. |
Prednisone as per standard of care.
Participants will be randomized 1:1 (non-blinded) to receive either adalimumab (40 mg subcutaneous every 2 weeks for 12 weeks) and prednisone vs prednisone alone.
Addition of methotrexate (MTX) and/or hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) is permitted, as needed, at the discretion of the treating rheumatologist.
No additional conventional synthetic, targeted synthetic or biologic DMARDs are permitted during the trial.
