             a complete medical history including a physical examination, vital signs (blood

               -  Postmenopausal, defined as at least 1 year of spontaneous amenorrhea (in
                  questionable cases a blood sample with simultaneous levels of
                  follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) above 40 U/L and estradiol below 30 ng/L is
                  confirmatory)

          -  Subjects agree to use an adequate contraception, starting from the begin of the trial
             and until 6 months after the dose of the trial drug: e.g. any of the following methods

        Exclusion criteria:

          -  Previous exposure to adalimumab or proposed adalimumab biosimilar drugs.

          -  Any finding in the medical examination (including blood pressure (BP), pulse rate (PR)
             or electrocardiogram (ECG)) that deviates from normal and judged as clinically
             relevant by the investigator.

          -  Any evidence of a concomitant disease judged as clinically relevant by the
             investigator including gastrointestinal, hepatic, renal, respiratory, cardiovascular,
             metabolic, immunological, hormonal disorders or diseases of the central nervous system
             (including but not limited to any kind of seizures or stroke), and other relevant
             neurological or psychiatric disorders.

          -  History of relevant orthostatic hypotension, fainting spells, or blackouts.

             screening.

          -  History of relevant allergy or hypersensitivity including allergy to the trial
             medication, its excipients or device materials (e.g. natural rubber or latex).

          -  Within 10 days prior to administration of trial medication, use of drugs that might
             reasonably influence the results of the trial.

          -  Intake of an investigational drug in another trial within 2 months or 5 half-lives
             (whichever longer) prior to planned administration of the trial medication in this
             trial or intake of an investigational drug during the course of this trial.

          -  Alcohol abuse (consumption of more than 28 units/week).

          -  Unwillingness/inability to refrain from intake of alcoholic beverages from 48 hours
             prior to the trial medication administration and until Day 14 post trial medication
             administration; and/or to limit alcohol intake to a maximum of 3 units per day until
             e.o.t.

          -  Drug abuse or positive drug screening.

          -  Subject is assessed as unsuitable for inclusion by the investigator, for instance,
             because he is considered not able to understand and comply with trial requirements, or
             has a condition that would not allow safe participation in the trial.

          -  Subjects with any immunological disorders or auto-immune disorders, (e.g., Rheumatoid
