| Abstract | BACKGROUND: Golimumab (GLM) is a tumor necrosis factor- (TNF- ) inhibitor that was approved in the United States in 2009 for use with methotrexate (MTX) in adults with moderate to severe active rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and with or without MTX or other non-biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs in adults with active psoriatic arthritis (PsA) or active ankylosing spondylitis (AS). GLM is administered as a 50-mg subcutaneous injection once a month. OBJECTIVES: The goals of this article were to review the current literature on GLM and to provide recommendations for the use of GLM based on the published information. METHODS: The PubMed, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, ClinicalTrials.gov, International Pharmaceutical Abstracts, and other databases, as well as the Web sites for the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) and the European Union League Against Rheumatism, were searched for relevant articles published in English between the inception of the databases through April 2010. Search terms included golimumab and CNTO 148. Pharmacologic, pharmacokinetic, clinical, outcomes, and economic studies as well as meta-analyses, case reports, and select abstracts were eligible for inclusion. Review articles on GLM were not used except to identify other primary papers. RESULTS: Seven clinical studies were identified and used to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of GLM: 5 in patients with RA (4 subcutaneous administration and 1 intravenous administration), 1 in patients with PsA (subcutaneous), and 1 in patients with AS (subcutaneous). In MTX-naive patients with RA, the number of patients satisfying the ACR20 response criteria (>20% improvement in ACR response rate) at 24 weeks was significantly higher for the GLM + MTX groups than for the MTX-only groups (62% vs 49%, respectively; P < 0.05). In patients with active RA despite MTX therapy, ACR20 responses at 14 to 16 weeks were significantly higher for the combined GLM + MTX groups than for the MTX groups (50%-79% vs 33%-37%, respectively; P < 0.001). GLM was more effective than placebo, both with and without MTX, in patients with RA and a history of treatment with 1 or 2 TNF- inhibitors (ACR20 at 14 weeks, 35%-37% vs 18%, respectively; P < 0.001). Studies of other TNF- inhibitors reported ACR20 responses in 53% to 59% of patients with active RA at 24 weeks. GLM was also more effective than placebo at 24 weeks in patients with PsA (ACR20, 52%-61% vs 12%, respectively; P < 0.001) (ASAS40 [40% improvement based on Assessment in Ankylosing Spondylitis International Working Group criteria], 44%-54% vs 15%, respectively; P < 0.001). Studies of other TNF- inhibitors reported ACR20 responses at 24 weeks in 55% to 57% of patients with PsA and ASAS40 responses in 46% to 47% of patients with AS. The incidence of any adverse effect appeared to be comparable in the GLM (61.2%-93.9%) and placebo groups (59.3%-85.3%), but withdrawals because of adverse effects were higher in the GLM groups (0%-12.1%) than in the placebo groups (0%-5.9%). The incidence of serious infections was comparable for GLM (0%-4.4%) and placebo (0.8%-3.5%). The most frequently reported adverse effects in the GLM groups were injection-site reactions (2.7%-37.1%), nausea (2.7%-22.9%), headache (3.8%-21.2%), nasopharyngitis (1.9%-15.0%), and upper respiratory tract infections (5.7%-13.8%). CONCLUSIONS: Based on the results of the studies included in this review, GLM appeared to be more effective than placebo in patients with RA, PsA, or AS. Clinical studies have not directly compared GLM with other TNF- inhibitors. However, according to the available efficacy and tolerability data, GLM should be considered as the first or second TNF- inhibitor for the treatment of PsA or AS and as the second or possibly first TNF- inhibitor in combination with MTX for the treatment of RA. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
