November 30, 2015 updated by: Janssen Pharmaceutica

A Post-Marketing Surveillance Study on the Safety and Effectiveness of Golimumab (Simponi) Among Adult Filipino Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis, Psoriatic Arthritis and Ankylosing Spondylitis

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This is an open-label (all people know the identity of the intervention), multi-center (study conducted at multiple sites), observational study (study in which the investigators/ physicians observe the patients and measure their outcomes) to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of golimumab for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis among Filipino patients.

The study will enroll approximately 50 patients who would use golimumab with a dosing regimen stipulated in the product insert. As this is an observational study, assessment of patients will be based on the accepted clinical practice in the Philippines. Patients will be monitored from baseline and every 4 weeks thereafter for a period of 24 weeks. Safety evaluations for adverse events, clinical laboratory tests, physical examination, concomitant medications, and co-morbid conditions will be monitored throughout the study. The total study will be conducted for 3 years and duration of treatment will be for 24 weeks.

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Observational

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort

Group / Cohort

A group or subgroup of participants in an observational study that is assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Golimumab
Patients will be taking golimumab as per the dosing regimen given on product insert approved in Philippines.
Drug: No intervention
This is an observational study. Golimumab will be administered as per the recommended doses. Golimumab 50 mg will be given as a subcutaneous injection once a month, on the same date each month. For rheumatoid arthritis: Golimumab 2 mg/kg will be given as a 30 minute intravenous infusion at Weeks 0 and 4, then every 8 weeks thereafter.
Other Names:
  • SIMPONI

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Number of patients with incidence of adverse events
Time Frame: From the date of first exposure of study medication until 30 days after the last exposure of the patient to the study medication, as assessed for 3 years
From the date of first exposure of study medication until 30 days after the last exposure of the patient to the study medication, as assessed for 3 years
Number of patients with incidence of discontinuation of study medication due to adverse events
Time Frame: From the date of first exposure of study medication until 30 days after the last exposure of the patient to the study medication, as assessed for 3 years
From the date of first exposure of study medication until 30 days after the last exposure of the patient to the study medication, as assessed for 3 years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of patients who would show improvement using the Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) Score
Time Frame: Baseline, Weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, and 24
HAQ will include 2 scales: (a) scale for evaluating disability (score range, 0 [without any difficulty] to 3 [unable to do]) and (b) Visual Analogue Scale for evaluating discomfort and pain (score range, 0 [no pain] to 100 [severe pain]).
Baseline, Weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, and 24

Primary Completion (Anticipated)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
