Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy (improvement of signs and symptoms) of subcutaneous (under the skin) injections of golimumab for the treatment of active psoriatic arthritis (PsA). Efficacy will be measured by reduction in the signs and symptoms of active PsA, including effects on joint pain and swelling, changes on x-ray related to joint damage, psoriasis skin lesions, physical function, and quality of life.

  • Active plaque psoriasis with a lesion >= 2cm in diameter
  • Active arthritis despite current disease modifying anti-rheumatic drug (DMARD) or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) therapy
