Diagnosis of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) for >= 3 months based on the 2010 American College of Rheumatology/European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology (ACR/EULAR) classification criteria for RA.
Treated for >= 3 consecutive months prior to screening with 1 tumor necrosis factor inhibitor (TNFi) (originator or biosimilar) for RA (except adalimumab [originator or biosimilar]), but continue to exhibit active RA, or had to discontinue due to intolerability, irrespective of treatment duration. Up to 15% of participants who were intolerant to 1 TNFi will be allowed to enroll.
On oral or parenteral methotrexate (MTX) therapy >= 3 months and on a stable prescription of 15 to 25 mg/week (or >= 10 mg/week in participants intolerant of MTX at doses >= 15 mg/week) for >= 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study drug. In addition, all participants should take a dietary supplement of folic acid or folinic acid throughout the study participation.
For participants in China, Japan, Korea, or Taiwan, a stable dose of MTX >= 7.5 mg/week is acceptable. Additional local requirements for MTX may apply.
Meets both of the following disease activity criteria:
>= 6 swollen joint (based on 66 joint counts) and >= 6 tender joints (based on 68 joint counts) at screening and baseline;
High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) >= 3 mg/L (central lab, upper limit of normal [ULN] 2.87 mg/L) at screening.
History of any arthritis with onset prior to age 17 years or current diagnosis of inflammatory joint disease other than Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA).
Prior exposure to any janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor.
Prior exposure to adalimumab (original or biosimilar).
Prior exposure to a non-TNFi biologic disease modifying anti-rheumatic drug (bDMARD).
