A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Trial of Golimumab, a Fully Human Anti-TNFalpha MonoclonalAntibody, Administered Subcutaneously, in Subjects With Active Ankylosing Spondylitis
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating golimumab and Golimumab (CNTO 148); placebo for Spondylitis, Ankylosing. Completed, enrolled 356 participants across 39 sites in 9 countries.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of subcutaneous injections (under the skin) of golimumab for the treatment of active ankylosing spondylitis \[AS(arthritis of the spine)\]. Efficacy will be measured by reduction in the signs and symptoms of active AS, including effects on back pain and stiffness, physical function, range of motion in the spine, quality of life, and rate of spine damage or fusion on x-ray.
