About this study
Official title: A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Trial of Golimumab, a Fully Human Anti-TNFalpha MonoclonalAntibody, Administered Subcutaneously, in Subjects With Active Ankylosing Spondylitis
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.
Read the detailed description
Anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) agents have been shown to be effective treatment for patients with active ankylosing spondylitis (arthritis of the spine) who have not responded to conventional therapy. Golimumab is a new anti-TNFa agent. This is a multicenter, randomized (patients are assigned different treatments based on chance), double-blind (neither the patient nor the physician knows whether drug or placebo is being taken, or at what dosage), placebo-controlled, parallel group study comparing safety and efficacy of golimumab 50mg, golimumab 100mg, and placebo subcutaneous (under the skin) injections administered every 4 weeks, in patients with active AS. The total duration of treatment is approximately 5 years. In the first portion of the study, some patients will be randomly assigned to receive placebo treatment through the Week 20 injection; others will be assigned to golimumab 50mg or golimumab 100mg groups through the Week 20 injection. There is an "early escape" at Week 16 in the study whereby patients who meet criteria for having little improvement in their AS symptoms will be switched to golimumab if they were on placebo, or have the golimumab dose increased if they were originally assigned to the golimumab 50mg group. At Week 24, the placebo group patients will switch to golimumab 50mg injections, and all patients will continue receiving in a blinded manner either 50 or 100mg golimumab injections every 4 weeks until the first 104 weeks of data are fully collected on all the patients (database lock). After this 104-week database lock, everyone will be unblinded to the golimumab dose, and continue to receive golimumab treatment through Week 252 as part of a long-term extension phase of the study, with options for adjusting concomitant AS medications and/or increasing the dose of golimumab. The study hypothesis is that golimumab will be more effective than placebo in treating the signs and symptoms of AS, as measured by the ASsessment in Ankylosing Spondlitis (ASAS) 20 response criteria . Golimumab 50mg, Golimumab 100mg, or placebo injected under the skin every 4 weeks at Weeks 0, 4, 8, 12, 16, and 20, followed by injections of either Golimumab 50mg or Golimumab 100mg every 4 weeks for approximately 5 years total duration from the time of the first study agent injection.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Assessment in Ankylosing Spondylitis 20 Responders at Week 14
Number of patients who achieved a 20% improvement and at least 1 absolute improvement on a 0 to 10 cm scale from baseline to Week 14 in at least 3 of the 4 domains: patient global, total back pain, function or inflammation.
Measured: Week 14
Secondary outcomes (3)
Assessment in Ankylosing Spondylitis 20 Responders at Week 24
Number of patients who achieved a 20% improvement and at least 1 absolute improvement on a 0 to 10 cm scale from baseline to Week 24 at least 3 of the 4 domains: patient global, total back pain, function or inflammation.
Measured: Week 24
Summary of Change From Baseline in Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index at Week 14
The Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index (BASFI) is calculated as the mean of 10 VAS, each of length 0 to 10 cm. Eight of the scales relate to functional capacity of patients while the other 2 relate to a patient's ability to cope with everyday life. Change from baseline is Wk 14 value minus baseline value.
Measured: From Baseline to Week 14
Summary of Change From Baseline in Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Metrology Index at Week 14
The Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Metrology Index (BASMI) is the sum of scores comprised of 5 measures (0=mild, 1=moderate \& 2=severe): Tragus-to-wall; Lumbar flexion; Cervical rotation; Lumbar side flexion; Intermalleolar distance. BASMI ranges from 0 to 10. Change from baseline is Wk 14 value minus baseline value.
Measured: From Baseline to Week 14

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
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.
