Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is a multi-center, randomized, single-blinded, prospective, parallel group intervention study to investigate whether methotrexate (MTX) discontinuation for 1 week is non-inferior to MTX discontinuation for 2 weeks in regard to satisfactory vaccination response to a seasonal influenza.
