Brief Summary: The goal of this clinical trial is to compare therapeutic drug monitoring TDM versus Standard of care in patients with rheumatoid arthritis treated with a subcutaneous tumor necrosis factor inhibitor adalimumab

The main question it aims to answer is

Is TDM superior to standard of care in order to maintain sustained disease control without flares

Participants will be followed with blood sampling every second month measuring serum drug levels and anti-drug antibodies of the TNFi In the TDM-group the researchers will adjust the dosage of the TNFi based on knowledge on optimal therapeutic ranges In the Standard of care group the TNFi will be administered according to standard of care without knowledge of serum drug levels or anti-drug antibodies
Detailed Description: There is a considerable variation in serum drug levels among rheumatoid arthritis RA patients on tumor necrosis factor inhibitors TNFi and a high number develop neutralizing anti-drug antibodies ADAb Sub-therapeutic drug levels and ADAb formation are major contributors to TNFi treatment failure and disease flare Proactive therapeutic drug monitoring TDM ie individualized drug dosing based on regular assessments of serum drug levels and ADAb has the potential to optimize the efficacy and safety of TNFi treatment

The aim of the RA-DRUM trial is to assess whether TDM is superior to standard of care in order to maintain sustained disease control without flares in patients with RA treated with the SC TNFi adalimumab

Participants will be randomized to

Administration of TNFi based on proactive TDM TDM group
Administration of TNFi based on standard of care without knowledge of serum drug levels or ADAb status Standard of care group

Participants will be followed for 18 months with on-site visits at baseline 4 8 12 and 18 months and digital visits at 2 6 10 14 and 16 months Blood sampling for serum drug levels and anti-drug antibodies will be done at all visits
