ABSTRACT: Assess golimumab's long-term efficacy/safety in psoriatic arthritis (PsA).Adults with active PsA (?3 swollen and tender joints, active psoriasis) were randomly assigned to subcutaneous placebo, golimumab 50?mg, or golimumab 100?mg every 4?weeks (q4wks) through wk20. All patients received golimumab 50?mg or 100?mg q4wks from wk24 forward. Methotrexate was allowed and taken by approximately half the patients. Findings through 5?years are reported herein. Efficacy assessments included ?20% improvement in American College of Rheumatology (ACR20) response, C-reactive-protein-based, 28-joint-count Disease Activity Score (DAS28-CRP) response, ?75% improvement in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI75) scores, and PsA-modified Sharp/van der Heijde scores (SHSs).126/405 (31%) randomised patients discontinued treatment through wk252. Golimumab was effective in maintaining clinical improvement through year-5 (ACR20: 62.8-69.9%, DAS28-CRP: 75.2-84.9% for randomised patients; PASI75: 60.8-72.2% among randomised patients with ?3% body surface area involvement) and inhibiting radiographic progression (mean changes in PsA-modified SHS: 0.1-0.3) among patients with radiographic data. While concomitant methotrexate did not affect ACR20/PASI75, it appeared to reduce radiographic progression. No new safety signals were identified. Antibodies-to-golimumab occurred in 1.8%/10.0% of patients with/without methotrexate).Long-term golimumab safety/efficacy in PsA was demonstrated through 5?years.NCT00265096.
