An Open-label Randomized Phase 1 Study to Investigate the Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Subcutaneous and Intravenous Administrations of Golimumab to Subjects With Rheumatoid Arthritis

This is a Phase 1, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic study of intravenous and subcutaneous
administered golimumab in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.

A Phase 1, randomized (study drug route of administration assigned by chance), open label
(both physician and patient know that golimumab has been assigned), study of golimumab in
patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The purpose of this study is to compare the
pharmacokinetic (how the body effects the drug) and pharmacodynamic (how the drug effects the
body) effects of golimumab administered through a vein in the arm or by injection under the
skin. Safety assessments will be performed throughout the study and include obtaining and
evaluating laboratory tests, vital signs (eg, blood pressure), and the occurrence and
severity of adverse events. The study will also assess the clinical effects of golimumab on
RA. The study is planned for approximately 45 patients, which are randomized at a 2:1 ratio
to receive golimumab SC or IV. Male or female patients who have been diagnosed with RA for at
least 3 months and who are 18 years of age or older may be able to participate. Subcutaneous
(SC) injections of 100 mg golimumab every 4 weeks through Week 20 or intravenous (IV)
administrations of 2 mg/kg golimumab on Days 1 and 85.

Inclusion Criteria:

- Have a diagnosis of RA for at least 3 months prior to screening

- Have no history of latent or active tuberculosis (TB) and test negative for TB

Exclusion Criteria:

- Have inflammatory diseases other than RA

- Have been treated with disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs)/systemic
immunosuppressives other than methotrexate (MTX), sulfasalazine, or hydroxychloroquine
during the 4 weeks prior to the first administration of study agent

- Have received intramuscular (IM), IV, or intra-articular corticosteroids within 4
weeks of study agent administration

- Have a known hypersensitivity to human Ig proteins

- Have received infliximab, golimumab, adalimumab or abatacept within 3 months, or
etanercept or anakinra within 1 month prior to the first administration of study agent

- Have received alefacept, efalizumab, natalizumab, rituximab, or any B-cell-depleting
agent

- Have been treated with any other biologics or investigational drugs, within 5
half-lives of that drug prior to the first administration of study agent

- Have a history of latent or active granulomatous infection, including tuberculosis
(TB), histoplasmosis, or coccidioidomycosis, prior to screening

- Have had a Bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccination within 12 months of screening

- Have had a serious infection (eg, hepatitis, pneumonia, pyelonephritis, or sepsis)
