Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of golimumab + MTX versus MTX alone in methotrexaat naïve PsA patients ; Primary end point(s): - Safety - DAS remission ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: week 22; Secondary Objective: - to demonstrate that golimumab + MTX is superior to MTX alone to achieve low to very low disease activity in MTX naïve PsA patients - to demonstrate that initial treatment of MTX naïve patients with golimumab + MTX is superior to MTX alone to maintain low to very low disease activity over time after withdrawing golimumab treatment | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): - EULAR DAS response - ACR20, ACR50 and ACR70 - PsARC - PASI75 - Leeds Enthesitis Index (LEI) - Dactylitis - Changes in HAQ - % of patients achieving low disease activity (defined as DAS <2.4) - % of patients achieving minimal disease activity (as defined by Coates et al, Ann Rheum Dis 2010) Exploratory: - Safety - EULAR response, ACR20/50/70 and PsARC - Survival analysis of patients remaining in DAS remission - Survival analysis of patients retaining low disease activity (defined as DAS <2.4) - Survival analysis of patients retaining minimal disease activity (as defined by Coates et al, Ann Rheum Dis 2010) ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: week 50 | — |
