A Randomized Phase IIb Study of Mavrilimumab and Golimumab in Rheumatoid Arthritis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This 24-week, phase IIb, double-blind study was undertaken to evaluate the efficacy and safety of mavrilimumab (a monoclonal antibody to granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor receptor α) and golimumab (a monoclonal antibody to tumor necrosis factor [anti-TNF]) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who have had an inadequate response to disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) (referred to as DMARD-IR) and/or inadequate response to other anti-TNF agents (referred to as anti-TNF-IR).

Methods

Patients with active RA and a history of DMARD-IR (≥1 failed regimen) or DMARD-IR (≥1 failed regimen) and anti-TNF-IR (1-2 failed regimens) were randomized 1:1 to receive either mavrilimumab 100 mg subcutaneously every other week or golimumab 50 mg subcutane
