Trial Outcomes & Findings for Effect of Golimumab in Participants With Active Axial Spondyloarthritis (P07642, MK-8259-006) (NCT NCT01453725)

NCT ID: NCT01453725

Last Updated: 2019-02-06

Results Overview

The ASAS consists of 4 domains: participant global assessment, total back pain, function (Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index \[BASFI\]), and inflammation (mean of questions 5 and 6 of Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index \[BASDAI\]). Each domain is measured on a 100-mm visual analog scale (VAS) from 0 mm=the very best situation to 100 mm=the very worst situation, with a higher score indicating more severe impairment. ASAS 20 is a 20% improvement in response (per the Assessment in Ankylosing Spondylitis International Working Group) defined as meeting 2 criteria: 1) An improvement of \>=20% from Baseline and an absolute improvement from Baseline of \>=10 mm in at least 3 of 4 domains, and 2) Absence of deterioration from Baseline (defined as a \>=20% worsening and an absolute worsening of \>=10 mm) in the potential remaining domain. The percentages of participants who achieved ASAS 20 were calculated.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Week 16

Population: The FAS population consisted of all randomized participants who received at least one dose of study drug in Part 1 and had a Baseline BASDAI assessement.

The BASDAI is a summary of 6 participant-assessed 100-mm VAS for a) Fatigue, b) Spinal pain (overall), c) Peripheral arthritis, d) Enthesitis, e) Qualitative morning stiffness (intensity) and f) Quantitative morning stiffness (duration). Each VAS is measured as 0=none to 100=very severe, with a higher score indicating more severe symptoms. The BASDAI score is calculated as 0.2 time (a+b+c+d+\[0.5 times e+f\]) and can range from 0 to 100. The BASDAI 50 is defined as improvement by at least 50% from Baseline in the BASDAI score. The percentages of participants who achieved BASDAI 50 were calculated.

Population: The FAS population consisted of all randomized participants who received at least one dose of study drug in Part 1.

ASAS partial remission was defined as a VAS score of less than 20 mm in each of the 4 domains of ASAS 20: participant global assessment, pain (total back pain), function and inflammation. The percentages of participants who achieved ASAS partial remission were calculated.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and Week 16

Population: The FAS population consisted of all randomized participants who received at least one dose of study drug in Part 1, who completed Part 1, and who had Baseline and Week 16 MRI SI joint measurements.

Participants underwent MRI of the SI joints, without contrast, at Screening and Week 16 to assess the presence or absence of active inflammation of the SI joints. Scoring was based on 6 consecutive MRI slices through the SI joint. Each slice was divided into 4 quadrants. Each of the 48 quadrants was scored with respect to the presence of inflammation (0=no, 1=yes), yielding a maximum score of 48. Each slice was also assessed for the presence of a lesion exhibiting either intense signal or a depth \>=1 cm anywhere within the SI joint of the 6 slices (0=no, 1=yes), yielding a maximum score of 24. Total SI joint scores could range from 0 to 72, with a higher score indicating more signs of disease.
