Coloring in SUCRA columns is based on SUCRA value; values of 100% are green in color, values of 0% are red in color, intermediates values are colored along the green-to-red gradient. Abbreviations: AE, adverse event; BID, twice daily; CrI, credible interval; IV, intravenous; NA, not available; NMA, network meta-analysis; OR, odds ratio; PBO, placebo; Q#W, every # week; QD, once daily; RE, random effects model; REA, RE model adjusted for baseline/PBO risk; SC, subcutaneous; SUCRA, surface under the cumulative ranking curve.

aSC 200 mg at week 0 and 100 mg at week 2.

bIV dose based on body weight (~6 mg/kg) at week 0.

cSC 160 mg at week 0 and 80 mg at week 2, then 40 mg Q2W.

dIV doses at weeks 0, 2, and 6.

eOral 0.23 mg QD for 4 days, 0.46 mg QD for 3 days, then 0.92 mg QD starting on day 8.

fFor treat-through trials M10-447 and ULTRA-2 for adalimumab, induction numbers were subtracted from the overall numbers to obtain maintenance numbers.

gDenotes statistical significance (OR 95% CrI excludes 1). 95% CrIs can be found in Appendices 8 and 9.

hResults (medians with 95% CrI as applicable) displayed for ‘best-fitting’ model per fit statistics (REA for all AEs; RE for all others) and ordered in descending absolute rates for all AEs. Safety endpoints as defined in trials.
