Two-year effectiveness and safety of golimumab in ulcerative colitis: An IG-IBD study

2020

Abstract Background Few data exist regarding the long‐term effectiveness of golimumab in ulcerative colitis. No data have been reported on real‐world continuous clinical response. Objective This study aimed to describe the long‐term outcomes in a large cohort of patients on golimumab who had ulcerative colitis. Methods Consecutive patients with active ulcerative colitis, started on golimumab, were enrolled and prospectively followed up. The primary end point was to evaluate the long‐term persistence on golimumab therapy. Results A total of 173 patients with ulcerative colitis were studied. Of these, 79.2% were steroid dependent, and 46.3% were naïve to anti‐tumour necrosis factor alpha agen…

A real life comparison of the efficacy of adalimumab versus golimumab in moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis. A multicenter experience from the sic…

2017

Introduction: Adalimumab (ADA) and golimumab (GOL) are effective in the induction and maintenance treatment of moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis (UC). No comparable data between the 2 drugs are available up to now. Aims & Methods: We reported the Sicilian Network experience on the comparative efficacy of ADA and GOL in patients (pts) with moderate-to-severe UC. From June 2015 until April 2017, 197 consecutive pts with moderate to severe UC were treated with ADA or GOL. The efficacy was evaluated at 8 week and at the end of the follow up considering ‘‘clinical response’’ (reduction of at least 2 points of Partial Mayo Score with concomitant steroid reduction or discontinuation) and “…

FRI0696 Patient activation and adherence to biological therapy: preliminary results

2018

Background: Medication non-adherence is associated with treatment failure. Some authors show a positive relationship between patient activation and both, adherence to treatment for chronic conditions and improved outcomes. Objectives: To present preliminary results of a study measuring adherence to biological therapy and its relationship with the Patient Activation Measure (PAM) in the outpatient setting. Methods: Ambispective longitudinal observational descriptive study in a general tertiary university hospital. Patients on treatment with the same biological drug for ≥6 months were included in order of arrival. Patients with some degree of mental disability, which prevented understanding o…

Short-term effectiveness of golimumab for ulcerative colitis: Observational multicenter study

2016

AIM To evaluate the real-world effectiveness of golimumab in ulcerative colitis (UC) and to identify predictors of response. METHODS We conducted an observational, prospective and multi-center study in UC patients treated with golimumab, from September 2014 to September 2015. Clinical activity was assessed at wk 0 and 14 with the physician' s global clinical assessment (PGA) and the partial Mayo score. Colonoscopies and blood tests were performed, following daily-practice clinical criteria, and the results were recorded in an SPSS database. RESULTS Thirty-three consecutive patients with moderately to severely active UC were included. Among them, 54.5% were female and 42 years was the averag…

P293 Loss of response after first-line biologic therapy in patients with inflammatory bowel disease: practical approach and management

2020

Abstract Background Anti-tumour necrosis factors (anti-TNFs) have greatly improved therapeutic strategies for the treatment of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs). However, a significant number of patients do not respond or lose response over time (LOR). The aim of this retrospective prospective study was to evaluate patients (patients) treated with anti-TNFs as first-line treatment, with subsequent LOR, defined as recurrence of disease activity during maintenance therapy. We determine the prevalence of LOR and its management. Methods Three-hundred forty patients with IBDs were included: 65% had Crohn’s disease and 35% ulcerative colitis. Mean age at diagnosis was 31,5 years and medium time …

Abstract Background Adalimumab and golimumab are effective in the treatment of moderate to severe ulcerative colitis. Aims We reported the comparative effectiveness of adalimumab and golimumab in ulcerative colitis. Methods 118 patients treated with adalimumab and 79 treated with golimumab were included and evaluated at 8 weeks and at the end of follow up. Results Overall clinical benefit was 72.6% at 8 weeks and 58.9% at the end of follow up. Patients with longer disease duration and those treated with adalimumab had a better outcome. Clinical benefit was 78.8% in adalimumab patients and 63.3% in golimumab patients (p = 0.026) after 8 weeks; it was 66.9% in adalimumab patients and 46.8% in…

Update on intravitreal anti-tumor necrosis factor alpha therapies for ocular disorders

2014

Abstract Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-?) is an important pro-inflammatory cytokine associated with a variety of ocular diseases. The currently available TNF-? inhibitors are etanercept, infliximab, adalimumab, golimumab, and certolizumab. Experimental and clinical studies on the intravitreal use of these agents have been reported with etanercept, infliximab, and adalimumab: etanercept has shown limited efficacy in scarce reports; infliximab has been associated with local safety concerns but appears to benefit certain cases; adalimumab has shown no efficacy in cases of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) or diabetic macular edema (DME), but the combination with bevacizumab may be effe…

AB0467 EFFECTIVENESS OF GOLIMUMAB AFTER TNF-INHIBITOR FAILURE IN PATIENTS WITH ACTIVE RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS, PSORIATIC ARTHRITIS, OR AXIAL SPONDYLOART…

2021

Background:Golimumab showed trial efficacy in subjects with active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) previously treated with TNF-inhibitors (TNFi); no trial data are available for psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA).Objectives:To assess the effectiveness of golimumab after TNFi failure in patients with RA, PsA, or axSpA in a real-world setting.Methods:GO-BEYOND-Italy is an ongoing, multicenter, prospective, observational study of RA, PsA, or axSpA patients starting golimumab after TNFi failure. Patients were enrolled between July 2017 and December 2019, and followed for 1 year, with evaluations at 3, 6, and 12 months. This interim analysis estimates the effectiveness after…
