Radiographic Progression Inhibition with Intravenous Golimumab in Psoriatic Arthritis: Week 24 Results of a Phase III, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Trial.
Journal of Rheumatology 2019 June
OBJECTIVE: Evaluate effects of intravenous (IV) golimumab (GOL) on radiographic progression in psoriatic arthritis (PsA).
METHODS: This phase III, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial (GO-VIBRANT) randomized patients with active PsA to receive IV placebo (n = 239) or IV GOL 2 mg/kg (n = 241) at weeks 0, 4, 12, and 20. Radiographic progression (controlled secondary endpoint) was evaluated as change from baseline at Week 24 in PsA-modified total Sharp/van der Heijde scores (SvdH). The proportions of patients with a change from baseline at Week 24 in the total PsA-modified SvdH exceeding the smallest detectable change (SDC) or > 0 or 0.5 also were determined.
RESULTS: Overall, 474 patients (237/arm) contributed radiographic data. Results obtained from the 2 blinded, independent radiographic readers demonstrated good agreement (total score intraclass correlation coefficients: baseline = 0.93, Week 24 = 0.92, Week 24 change score = 0.73). GOL demonstrated significant inhibition of radiographic progression relative to placebo from baseline to Week 24 (mean changes in PsA-modified total SvdH: -0.36 vs 1.95; treatment difference: -2.32; p < 0.001). At Week 24, smaller proportions of GOL- versus placebo-treated patients demonstrated an increase in the total PsA-modified SvdH score exceeding the SDC (8.0% vs 27.0%, respectively; difference: -19.0%; p < 0.001), > 0 (28.3% vs 57.0%, respectively; difference: -28.7%; p < 0.001), or > 0.5 (18.6% vs 41.8%, respectively; difference: -23.2%; p < 0.001). Results were consistent for erosion and joint space narrowing scores, in hands and feet, and in patients with/without baseline concomitant methotrexate use. Prevention of radiographic progression by GOL was independent of clinical response.
CONCLUSION: IV GOL is significantly better than placebo in inhibiting radiographic progression of structural damage in active PsA. [Clinical trial registration number (www.ClinicalTrials.gov): NCT02181673].
