Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)
An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant administered a medicinal (investigational or non-investigational) product which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not related to that medicinal product. Any AE that occurred at or after the initial administration of study drug through the day of last dose plus 8 weeks was considered to be TEAE.
Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant administered a medicinal (investigational or non-investigational) product which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not related to that medicinal product. SAE was any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose may result in death, is life-threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect, is a suspected transmission of any infectious agent via a medicinal product. Any AE that occurred at or after the initial administration of study drug through the day of last dose plus 8 weeks was considered to be TEAE.

Secondary Outcome Measures

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety of subcutaneous (SC) golimumab in participants with active Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) or Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA) over 24 weeks.
Detailed Description
This post-marketing study will evaluate safety and efficacy profile of golimumab (a fully human anti-Tumour Necrosis Factor alpha [TNF-alpha] monoclonal antibodies [mAb], administered subcutaneously) in a real-world in Indian participants with active spondyloarthropathy of ankylosing spondylitis (AS) or psoriatic arthritis (PsA). AS is a chronic inflammatory disease of unknown etiology that involves the sacroiliac joints, axial skeleton, entheses, and peripheral joints. PsA is a chronic, inflammatory, usually rheumatoid factor negative arthritis that is associated with psoriasis. Golimumab binds with high affinity to human TNF-alpha and inhibits TNF-alpha bioactivity, TNF-alpha-mediated cell cytotoxicity and TNF-alpha mediated endothelial cell activation. Golimumab also induces activation of complement-mediated cell lysis and reduces the development of arthritis. Study evaluation includes efficacy (efficacy parameters for AS and PsA) and safety. Participant's safety will be monitored throughout the study. The total duration of study will be approximately 24 weeks.
