Patient-reported outcomes with golimumab in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis: non-interventional study GO-NICE in Germany.

ABSTRACT: The TNF inhibitor golimumab (GLM) is a treatment option in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), and ankylosing spondylitis (AS). The GO-NICE study assessed patient-reported outcomes (PRO) in patients newly treated with monthly GLM 50 mg subcutaneously (SC) under real-life conditions in Germany. A prospective non-interventional study with 24-month observation per patient was conducted at 158 sites. Available for analysis were 1,458 patients, 474 with rheumatoid arthritis (RA: 54.9 ± 13.4 years, 72.8% females, 60.4% biologic-naïve), 501 with psoriatic arthritis (PsA: 50.5 ± 12.1 years, 54.1% females; 47.5% biologic-naïve), and 483 with ankylosing spondylitis (AS: 43.6 ± 12.3 years, 66.5% males; 58.4% biologic-naïve). A total of 664 patients completed follow-up to month 24. An improvement of QoL by EuroQoL EQ-5D-3L was seen after 6 months and was maintained over 24 months. The patients' health state today (EQ visual analog scale) improved statistically significantly (p < 0.0001 vs. BL) from 51.0 at baseline (BL) to 63.4 (RA), from 48.4 to 64.3 (PsA) and from 46.8 to 66.5 (AS). Functional ability (FFbH) improved significantly (p < 0.003 vs. BL) from BL 68.2 to 76.1 points (RA), from 69.0 to 76.8 points (PsA), and from 69.0 to 78.5 points (AS). The mean FACIT-Fatigue score increased significantly (p < 0.0001 vs. BL) from BL 32.4 to 38.3 points (RA), from 30.0 to 35.9 points (PsA), and from 29.9 to 37.9 points after 24 months (AS); p < 0.0001 vs. BL each. On treatment with GLM SC once monthly, significant improvements in patient-reported QoL parameters were noted in a very similar manner in all three diseases.Trial registration ClinTrials.gov Identifier: NCT01313858.

Project description:OBJECTIVE:The Non Interventional Evaluation with Golumimab (GO-NICE) study aimed to document patient and treatment characteristics as well as clinical effectiveness and safety in adult patients newly treated with the tumour necrosis factor inhibitor golimumab (GLM). DESIGN:Prospective non-interventional study with 24-month observation per patient. SETTING:158 office-based and clinical-based physicians in Germany. INTERVENTION:GLM administered in the 50?mg dose subcutaneously in monthly intervals under real-life conditions. RESULTS:Of the 1613 included patients, 1458 patients were eligible for final analysis: 474 patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA, 54.9±13.4 years, 72.8% women, 64.7% biologic-naïve), 501 with psoriatic arthritis (PsA, 50.5±12.1 years, 54.1% women, 56.5% biologic-naïve) and 483 with ankylosing spondylitis (AS, 43.6±12.3 years, 66.5% men, 61.0% biologic-naïve). 664 patients completed follow-up (2-year retention rate 45.5%). Disease Activity Score 28-joint count erythrocyte sedimentation rate (DAS28-ESR) decreased from 5.0 to 2.9 after 24 months (p<0.0001) in patients with RA, and Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Index score decreased from 5.1 to 2.4 (p<0.0001) in patients with AS. Response rate calculated in patients with PsA by modified Psoriatic Arthritis Response Criteria was 67.9% after 24 months. Most adverse events were of mild or moderate nature, and no new safety signals were detected. According to the physicians' clinical assessments, treatment with GLM was successful (no adverse drug reaction and a clear or moderate therapeutic effect in an individual patient) in 55.0%-56.6% of patients with RA, PsA and AS, respectively, at month 3, increasing from 74.5% to 76.1% at month 24. CONCLUSIONS:GLM subcutaneously once monthly led to substantial improvements in clinical effectiveness in patients with various inflammatory rheumatic diseases who could be followed up in a real-life setting in Germany. The treatment was well tolerated, and the safety profile of GLM was consistent with that observed in the previous randomised controlled trials. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER:NCT01313858.

Project description:BackgroundIntravenous (IV) golimumab, a TNFi, is approved for treating rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), and ankylosing spondylitis (AS). We analyzed pooled safety results from three phase 3 IV golimumab trials in these rheumatologic diseases and hypothesized that the safety profile of IV golimumab would be similar to that established for other TNFi, including subcutaneous golimumab.MethodsData from three double-blind, randomized trials of IV golimumab in patients with RA, PsA, and AS, each with a placebo-controlled period and an extension of active treatment, were included. Golimumab 2 mg/kg was administered at weeks 0 and 4, then every 8 weeks through week 100 (RA) or week 52 (PsA, AS). Concomitant low-dose, oral corticosteroids were permitted. Concomitant methotrexate was required in the RA trial and permitted in the PsA and AS trials; placebo patients crossed over to golimumab at weeks 24 (RA, PsA) and 16 (AS), respectively. Adverse events (AEs), including infections, serious infections, malignancies, and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), were assessed through week 112 (RA) or week 60 (PsA, AS).ResultsIn total, 539 patients were randomized to placebo, and 740 patients were randomized to golimumab; 1248 patients received ≥ 1 golimumab administration. Among the placebo and golimumab patients, respectively, during the placebo-controlled periods, 40.6% and 50.3% had an AE, 2.4% and 3.8% had a serious AE, and 0.4% and 0.8% had a serious infection. Among all golimumab-treated patients, the numbers of events/100 patient-years (95% CI) were as follows: AEs, 175.2 (169.0, 181.6); serious AEs, 12.7 (11.0, 14.5); serious infections, 3.4 (2.5, 4.4); active tuberculosis, 0.4 (0.1, 0.8); opportunistic infection, 0.2 (0.1, 0.6); malignancies, 0.4 (0.2, 0.9), and MACE, 0.5 (0.2, 1.0). There were no cases of lymphoma. Three (0.6%) placebo-treated patients and 6 (0.5%) golimumab-treated patients died during the studies. Concomitant methotrexate was associated with increased occurrence of elevated alanine transaminase levels and lower incidence of antibodies to golimumab. During the placebo-controlled periods, serious infections in the placebo and golimumab groups were more common in patients receiving concomitant low-dose oral corticosteroids vs. those not receiving corticosteroids.ConclusionsIV golimumab demonstrated a safety profile that was broadly consistent across these rheumatologic indications and with other TNFi, including subcutaneous golimumab. Concomitant methotrexate or corticosteroids were associated with an increase in specific AEs.Trial registrationsClinicalTrials.gov , NCT00973479 .

Project description:IntroductionWhile golimumab (GLM) has demonstrated efficacy in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), and ankylosing spondylitis (AS) in several randomized clinical trials with biologic-naïve patients, observational data from biologic-experienced patients are sparse. We aimed to assess the effectiveness of GLM used as the first-, second-, or at least third-line biologic agent in RA, PsA, and AS patients in a real-world setting.MethodsPost hoc analysis of the noninterventional, prospective, 24-month GO-NICE study of RA, PsA, and AS patients who initiated GLM 50 mg subcutaneously once monthly in a real-world setting in Germany.ResultsIn 1454 patients with RA, PsA, or AS, GLM was administered as the first-line (n = 305, 286, 292, respectively), second-line (n = 104, 136, 130, respectively), or at least third-line (n = 64, 79, 58, respectively) biologic agent. In RA patients (n = 473), the time since first diagnosis was 9.7, 10.1, and 14.3 years, respectively. The DAS28 score at BL was 5.0, 4.9, and 5.1 in patients using GLM as a first-, second-, and third-line biologic agent, respectively, and dropped significantly in all groups. After 3 months of treatment, 27.5%, 19.5%, and 14.5% of patients were in remission; the corresponding values after 24 months were 45.3%, 50.0%, and 33.3%, respectively. In PsA patients (n = 501), time since fist diagnosis was 12.4, 13.7, and 13.8 years, respectively. Based on PsARC, a response was achieved at 24 months in the first-, second-, and third-line use of GLM in 76.4%, 51.0%, and 50.0% of the patients. In AS patients (n = 480), the time since first diagnosis was 9.4, 9.8, and 12.4 years in patients using GLM as the first-, second-, and at least third-line biologic agent, respectively. After 24 months of treatment, the mean BASDAI scores decreased significantly (p < 0.001 vs. BL) to 2.1, 2.9, and 2.9 in the patients using GLM as the first-, second-, and at least third-line treatment, respectively.ConclusionsGolimumab is an effective treatment in patients with RA, PsA, and AS, irrespective of any pretreatment with biologic agents.Study registrationClinicalTrials.gov NCT01313858.

Project description:IntroductionThis article aims to describe malignancies in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), ankylosing spondylitis (AS), or non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (nr-axSpA) treated with upadacitinib (UPA) or active comparators.MethodsThis integrated safety analysis includes data from 11 phase 3 UPA trials across RA (6 trials), PsA (2 trials), AS (2 trials; one phase 2b/3), and nr-axSpA (1 trial). Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were summarized for RA (pooled UPA 15 mg [UPA15], pooled UPA 30 mg [UPA30], adalimumab 40 mg [ADA], methotrexate monotherapy [MTX]), PsA (pooled UPA15, pooled UPA30, ADA), AS (pooled UPA15), and nr-axSpA (UPA15). TEAEs were reported as exposure-adjusted event rates (events/100 patient-years).ResultsMedian treatment duration ranged from 1.0 to 4.0 years (with a maximum of 6.6 years in RA). Across treatments and indications, rates of malignancy excluding nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC) ranged from 0.2 to 1.1, while NMSC ranged from 0.0 to 1.4. In RA, rates of malignancy excluding NMSC were generally similar between UPA15, UPA30, ADA, and MTX (breast and lung cancer were the most common). In RA and PsA, Kaplan-Meier analyses revealed no differences in event onset of malignancy excluding NMSC with UPA15 versus UPA30 over time. In RA, NMSC rates were higher with UPA30 than UPA15; both UPA15 and UPA30 were higher than ADA and MTX. In PsA, rates of malignancy excluding NMSC and NMSC were generally similar between UPA15, UPA30, and ADA. In AS and nr-axSpA, malignancies were reported infrequently. Few events of lymphoma were reported across the clinical programs.ConclusionRates of malignancy excluding NMSC were generally similar between UPA15, UPA30, ADA, and MTX and were consistent across RA, PsA, AS, and nr-axSpA. A dose-dependent increased rate of NMSC was observed with UPA in RA.Trial registrationClinicaTrials.gov identifier: NCT02706873, NCT02675426, NCT02629159, NCT02706951, NCT02706847, NCT03086343, NCT03104400, NCT03104374, NCT03178487, and NCT04169373.

Project description:Genotyping was performed using a custom-designed Illumina 384-SNP VeraCode microarray (Illumina) to determine possible associations of genes encoding PADI1, PADI2, PADI3, PADI4, PADI6, PRKD3, Gc, GLRX,CDSN, PSORS1C1, TXNDC5, CA1, bub3, SORBS1, VDR,SERPNA1, PCSK6, DNAH9 to rheumatoid arthrities (RA) and ankylosing spondylitis (AS). We previously found that encoding genes of PADI1, PADI2, PADI3, PADI4, PADI6, PRKD3, Gc, GLRX,CDSN, PSORS1C1, TXNDC5, CA1, bub3, SORBS1, VDR, SERPNA1, PCSK6 and DNAH9 could be associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and ankylosing spondylitis (AS). We used illumina customer designed microarray to verify the above finding with an increased numbers of samples. Genotyping was performed using a custom-designed Illumina 384-SNP VeraCode microarray (Illumina) to determine possible associations of genes encoding PADI1, PADI2, PADI3, PADI4, PADI6, PRKD3, Gc, GLRX,CDSN, PSORS1C1, TXNDC5, CA1, bub3, SORBS1, VDR, SERPNA1, PCSK6, DNAH9 to RA and AS. A case-control study was performed with 51 AS patients, 266 rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and 163 health controls. Tag single nucleotide polymorphisms (tag SNPs) across the above genes were determined by searching the HapMap database. The tag SNPs were selected on the basis of linkage disequilibrium patterns observed in the Han Chinese in Beijing (CHB) samples that were genotyped as a part of the International HapMap Project. Only SNPs with a minor allele frequency of greater than 5% with a pair-wise r2 ≥ 0.8 in the HapMap were considered. SNPs that were in exons and untranslated regions (UTR), as well as promoters and introns within 500 bp of exons were also selected. Candidate SNPs were submitted to Illumina for a design score. The Illumina Assay Design Tool filtered out SNPs that were not suitable for the Illumina platform. Finally, 382 SNPs with a design score of “1” were selected. 382 SNPs within PADI1, PADI2, PADI3, PADI4, PADI6, PRKD3, Gc, GLRX,CDSN, PSORS1C1, TXNDC5, CA1, bub3, SORBS1, VDR,SERPNA1, PCSK6, DNAH9 encoding genes were selected. Genotyping was performed using Illumina VeraCode microarray in a case-control study including 51 AS patients, 266 rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and 163 health controls We performed genotyping using a custom-designed Illumina 384-SNP VeraCode microarray (Illumina). Peripheral blood samples were collected from patients with RA (n=266, 183 female) and AS (n=51, 10 female). RA patients had a mean age of 51.7 years, while AS patients had a mean age of 35.9 years. A total of 163 (60 female) healthy individuals with a mean age of 48.0 years were blood donors. Blood samples were put into Monovette tubes containing 3.8% sodium citrate. The genotyping was conducted with the BeadXpress Reader using the Illumina VeraCode GoldenGate Assay kit. 500 ng of sample DNA were used per assay. Genotype clustering and calling were performed using BeadStudio software (Genomestudio V2010.2 Genotyping module V1.6) (Illumina). This work was completed at the Beijing Institute of Genomics.
