All treatment groups also received methotrexate. Malignancies included one incidence each of breast cancer stage I, malignant glioma, and prostate cancer in PBO before switch among the four-PPF group; one incidence each of intraductal proliferative breast lesion, metastases to liver, and pancreatic carcinoma in FIL200 in the fewer-than-four-PPF group; one incidence each of cervix carcinoma stage III and leiomyosarcoma metastatic in FIL100 in the fewer-than-four-PPF group; and one incidence each of breast cancer and lymphocyte morphology abnormal in ADA in the four-PPF group. One patient in the fewer-than-four-PPF subgroup who was treated with FIL100 had latent tuberculosis that was first identified at week 12
