A Phase-IV, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Parallel-Group Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Golimumab (MK-8259 [SCH 900259]) After Treatment Withdrawal, Compared With Continued Treatment (Either Full- or Reduced-Treatment Regimen), In Subjects With Non-Radiographic Axial Spondyloarthritis
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Golimumab and Placebo for Spondyloarthritis. Completed, enrolled 323 participants across 71 sites in 9 countries.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of treatment withdrawal compared to continued treatment with golimumab (GLM) administered by subcutaneous (SC) injection on the incidence of a "flare" in non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis over up to 12 months. The primary hypothesis is that continued treatment with golimumab is superior to treatment withdrawal, based on the percentage of subjects without a "flare" during up to 12 months of blinded therapy.
