Guselkumab vs Golimumab in PsA TNF Inadequate Responder Patients

Guselkumab vs Golimumab in PsA TNF Inadequate Responder Patients: a Pragmatic Trial (EVOLUTION)


Sponsor

University of Pennsylvania

Enrollment

63 participants

Start Date

Jul 14, 2023

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

The trial is an open-label randomized study that will examine whether switching to a selective IL23 inhibitor (guselkumab) is more effective than switching to a second TNFi (golimumab) among patients with PsA who have an inadequate response to a TNFi.


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 YearsMax Age: 80 Years

Inclusion Criteria7

  • Psoriatic arthritis meeting CASPAR criteria;
  • Active psoriatic arthritis defined by at least 1 swollen joint;
  • cDAPSA score ≥ 10; See also Exclusion #4 - cDAPSA must be > 14 in patients without psoriasis.
  • Using a TNFi or previously used a single TNFi historically and either never responded or lost response (TNF IR) and planning to switch to a new biologic therapy;
  • If using an oral small molecule/csDMARD (i.e., methotrexate, leflunomide, hydroxychloroquine, sulfasalazine, or apremilast), must be on a stable dose for 4 weeks and remain on a stable dose during the study; Use of up to two OSM/csDMARDs is allowed.
  • If using NSAIDs, glucocorticoids (<10 mg daily) or topical medications for psoriasis, must be on a stable dose for 4 weeks prior to Screening/Baseline 1 and remain on a stable dose during the study;
  • Age 18-80 (patients older than 80 may be more likely to have concomitant osteoarthritis which may make it difficult to assess whether symptoms are related to PsA vs OA).

Exclusion Criteria6

  • Prior exposure to golimumab or another non-TNFi biologic (IL12/23i, JAKi, an IL17i, or an IL23i); prior exposure to a TYK2i is acceptable, but cannot be used during course of the study;
  • An adverse event that precludes use of another TNFi (development of drug-induced SLE, allergic reaction, serious infection, heart failure symptoms, demyelination at any point during use of therapy) or any other contraindication or substantial intolerance to a TNFi;
  • Use of moderate to high dose glucocorticoids (>10 mg);
  • Already meets the primary endpoint at Baseline; \[cDAPSA low disease activity ≤ 14; IGA of psoriasis 0/1\] In patients with psoriasis, cDAPSA can be 10-14 IF the Investigator Global Assessment of Psoriasis ≥ 2.
  • In patients without psoriasis, cDAPSA must be > 14 to meet eligibility requirements.
  • Currently pregnant or actively trying to conceive.
