It does not appear: that weight gain is a known side effect of humira (adalimumab). For more information: http://www.drugs.com/sfx/humira (adalimumab)-side-effects.html Best, Dr. Lebowitz

May not be Humira (adalimumab): Hi. Humira (adalimumab) doesn't cause weight gain. Besides, Humara already has an approval for psoriatic arthritis (PsA). Therefore, I find it highly unlikely there is a current study of Humira (adalimumab) in PsA unless the company is looking to expand the indication within the PsA population somehow. Good luck with your study and your PsA management.
