  • Data shown are mean±SD, median (IQR) or number (%) of patients at week 256, unless otherwise specified.

  • *Includes patients who were initially randomised to placebo and later early escaped at week 16 or crossed over at week 24 to receive golimumab 50 mg, with the possibility after the week-52 database lock to increase the golimumab dose to 100 mg and also to decrease the golimumab dose from 100 mg to 50 mg.

  • †Includes patients who were initially randomised to golimumab 50 mg and later early escaped at week 16 or dose escalated after the week-52 database lock to receive golimumab 100 mg, with the possibility to decrease the dose from 100 mg to 50 mg after the week-52 database lock.

  • ‡Includes patients randomised to receive golimumab 100 mg at week 0, with the possibility to decrease the golimumab dose from 100 mg to 50 mg after the week-52 database lock.

  • §Dose-escalation analyses used data from week 0 to 256, that is, from blinded and open-label portions of the study, from patients who had ≥12 weeks of follow-up after dose escalation.
