Primary outcomePrimary: Number of Participants Achieving a Good or Moderate European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) Response at Month 6 — 2692 Participants

Summary

Part 1 of this trial will assess the safety and effectiveness of subcutaneous (SC) golimumab administered by autoinjector once monthly, when combined with different disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD) regimens used in daily rheumatology practice. Subsequently, Part 2 will study if a strategy of intravenous (IV) golimumab to induce remission followed by SC golimumab to retain remission is superior to continuing a SC regimen.

  • Eligibility for anti tumor necrosis factor (TNF) use according to the following criteria:
  • Participant must have failed conventional treatment according to the investigator's opinion OR local guidelines.
  • Local guidelines regarding safety screening of anti TNF candidates (ie, tuberculosis [TB] screening and other safety screening such as vaccination, if applicable) must be met. Chest X-ray and either a PPD skin test or QuantiFERON®-TB Gold test are also required.
  • Anamnesis and physical examination must make the participant eligible for anti TNF use and trial participation according to the investigator's judgment.

  • no DAS28 ESR remission.
  • Both the investigator and the subject must agree to switch the participant's treatment to IV administration as may be required in Part 2 of this trial.
  • The investigator must judge that no safety events (eg, serious adverse events [SAEs], serious infections, marked injection-site reactions or intolerance to drug) have occurred that could reoccur or aggravate with increased drug exposure.
