In this study, we will evaluate the speed of action of infliximab (IFX) and golimumab (GOL) for induction of remission and response in patients with moderate-severe UC, through analyses of late stage (Phase III), placebo-controlled trials of IFX and GOL in UC. We have previously evaluated speed of onset of action for vedolizumab and tofacitinib."

Objective: To evaluate speed of action of infliximab (IFX) and golimumab (GOL) for induction of remission and response in patients with moderate-severe UC.
Study Design: Individual participant level pooled analysis of RCTs of infliximab (IFX) and golimumab (GOL) in patients with UC
Participants: Patients enrolled in phase III RCTs of IFX or GOL in moderate-severe UC, receiving active therapy with biologic agents
Main Outcome Measures: Change in clinical indices from baseline to end of induction. These include change in the mayo clinic score (MCS), stool frequency, rectal bleeding, mayo endoscopy score (MES), C reactive protein and calprotectin (where available).
Statistical Analysis: We will pool data of patients in active agent arms for IFX and GOL separately. A linear mixed model will be used to account for the correlation between repeated measures on individual patients that are clustered within studies and the time intervals of outcome assessment (defined as time elapsed since baseline assessment). The study will include fixed effects of drug treatment (infliximab, golilumab, placebo), time, treatment-time interaction, study, and additional patient-level covariates. The analysis will include random effects for patient and patient-time interaction."

string(3051) "Anti-tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha therapy remains the cornerstone of management of patients with moderately-to-severely active ulcerative colitis (UC). Three recombinant anti-TNF monoclonal antibodies are currently approved in the United States for clinical use in patients with active moderately-to-severely active UC: Remicade (infliximab [IFX]), Humira (adalimumab), and Simponi (golimumab). Infliximab was the first approved of these agents based upon the Active Ulcerative Colitis Trials (ACT-1 and 2) (Clinicaltrials.gov numbers: NCT00036439 and NCT00096655). These trials recruited patients with moderately-to-severely active UC defined as a total Mayo Clinic score (MCS) of 6 to 12 points and a Mayo endoscopic sub-score (MES) of 2. Both studies had a similar design (ACT-1 was 54 and ACT-2 was 30 weeks in duration) with equal allocation of patients to treatment with placebo, IFX 5 mg/kg, or IFX 10 mg/kg. Infliximab was administered intravenously at week (W)0, W2, W6 and every 8 weeks thereafter.
In 2013, the United States Food and Drug Administration approved golimumab, another human monoclonal anti-TNF agent, for the treatment of patients with moderate-to-severe UC, largely based on the results of the Program of Ulcerative Colitis Research Studies Utilizing an Investigational Treatment [PURSUIT], including the PURSUIT-subcutaneous induction [PURSUIT-SC; NCT00487539] and PURSUIT maintenance [PURSUIT-M; NCT00488631] trials. In these randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials, treatment with subcutaneous [SC] golimumab induced clinical response, remission, and mucosal healing in larger percentages of patients with active UC than did placebo, and continued golimumab in patients who responded to induction therapy maintained clinical response through Week 54 [golimumab 50 or 100 mg] and achieved clinical remission and mucosal healing at Weeks 30 and 54 [golimumab 100 mg].
However, despite impressive results in the PURSUIT registration trials, uptake of GOL has been marginal in comparison to IFX. This may in part be related to a perception of an agent with slower onset of action.
The overall objective of this proposal is to evaluate the relative speed of onset of IFX and GOL through changes in clinical disease activity indices, after adjustment for relevant patient level covariates and other confounders. Our central hypothesis is that there is no difference in the speed on onset between these agents. The long-term goal of our program is to promote value-based care in UC, ensuring informed choice for patients and providers in an era of multiple available therapies for UC. The significance of this work lies in the fact that uptake of GOL has been marginal in comparison to IFX, in part based upon a preconception than a SC administered agent may be slower to work than a similar IV administered agent. The information generated through this study would be invaluable to inform both science, patient care, positioning of drugs in the therapeutic algorithm and treatment guidelines."

This model will be used to address determine the average rate of treatment effect for each drug, and the hypothesis that one drug may achieve a greater rate of treatment effect than the other drug.
Though we acknowledge time-to-event analysis would be informative, unfortunately, in these trials, all assessments were performed at standard fixed time points - partial Mayo score was assessed at weeks 2, 4, 6.

Project Title:
Speed of onset of infliximab and golimumab in patients with moderate-severely active ulcerative colitis: A Post-Hoc Analysis of RCTs
Scientific Abstract:
Background: A rapid onset of action is an important characteristic of medical treatment for patients with moderate-severe UC. With increasing number of treatment alternatives, speed of onset of action has become an important factor to determine treatment.
Objective: To evaluate speed of action of infliximab (IFX) and golimumab (GOL) for induction of remission and response in patients with moderate-severe UC.
Study Design: Individual participant level pooled analysis of RCTs of infliximab (IFX) and golimumab (GOL) in patients with UC
Participants: Patients enrolled in phase III RCTs of IFX or GOL in moderate-severe UC, receiving active therapy with biologic agents
Main Outcome Measures: Change in clinical indices from baseline to end of induction. These include change in the mayo clinic score (MCS), stool frequency, rectal bleeding, mayo endoscopy score (MES), C reactive protein and calprotectin (where available).
Statistical Analysis: We will pool data of patients in active agent arms for IFX and GOL separately. A linear mixed model will be used to account for the correlation between repeated measures on individual patients that are clustered within studies and the time intervals of outcome assessment (defined as time elapsed since baseline assessment). The study will include fixed effects of drug treatment (infliximab, golilumab, placebo), time, treatment-time interaction, study, and additional patient-level covariates. The analysis will include random effects for patient and patient-time interaction.
Brief Project Background and Statement of Project Significance:
Anti-tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha therapy remains the cornerstone of management of patients with moderately-to-severely active ulcerative colitis (UC). Three recombinant anti-TNF monoclonal antibodies are currently approved in the United States for clinical use in patients with active moderately-to-severely active UC: Remicade (infliximab [IFX]), Humira (adalimumab), and Simponi (golimumab). Infliximab was the first approved of these agents based upon the Active Ulcerative Colitis Trials (ACT-1 and 2) (Clinicaltrials.gov numbers: NCT00036439 and NCT00096655). These trials recruited patients with moderately-to-severely active UC defined as a total Mayo Clinic score (MCS) of 6 to 12 points and a Mayo endoscopic sub-score (MES) of 2. Both studies had a similar design (ACT-1 was 54 and ACT-2 was 30 weeks in duration) with equal allocation of patients to treatment with placebo, IFX 5 mg/kg, or IFX 10 mg/kg. Infliximab was administered intravenously at week (W)0, W2, W6 and every 8 weeks thereafter.
In 2013, the United States Food and Drug Administration approved golimumab, another human monoclonal anti-TNF agent, for the treatment of patients with moderate-to-severe UC, largely based on the results of the Program of Ulcerative Colitis Research Studies Utilizing an Investigational Treatment [PURSUIT], including the PURSUIT-subcutaneous induction [PURSUIT-SC; NCT00487539] and PURSUIT maintenance [PURSUIT-M; NCT00488631] trials. In these randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials, treatment with subcutaneous [SC] golimumab induced clinical response, remission, and mucosal healing in larger percentages of patients with active UC than did placebo, and continued golimumab in patients who responded to induction therapy maintained clinical response through Week 54 [golimumab 50 or 100 mg] and achieved clinical remission and mucosal healing at Weeks 30 and 54 [golimumab 100 mg].
However, despite impressive results in the PURSUIT registration trials, uptake of GOL has been marginal in comparison to IFX. This may in part be related to a perception of an agent with slower onset of action.
The overall objective of this proposal is to evaluate the relative speed of onset of IFX and GOL through changes in clinical disease activity indices, after adjustment for relevant patient level covariates and other confounders. Our central hypothesis is that there is no difference in the speed on onset between these agents. The long-term goal of our program is to promote value-based care in UC, ensuring informed choice for patients and providers in an era of multiple available therapies for UC. The significance of this work lies in the fact that uptake of GOL has been marginal in comparison to IFX, in part based upon a preconception than a SC administered agent may be slower to work than a similar IV administered agent. The information generated through this study would be invaluable to inform both science, patient care, positioning of drugs in the therapeutic algorithm and treatment guidelines.
Specific Aims of the Project:
Specific aim #1: To evaluate and compare the speed of action of infliximab (IFX) and golimumab (GOL) as induction agents in patients with moderate-severe UC, through post-hoc analysis of phase III RCTs of IFX and GOL in UC.
Hypothesis: There is no difference in the speed of action of IFX versus GOL when measuring change in clinical disease activity indices, after adjusting for confounding variables including age, gender, baseline disease activity, concomitant aminosalicylates/corticosteroids/ immunosuppressive, disease extent
Study Design:
What is the purpose of the analysis being proposed? Please select all that apply.:
New research question to examine treatment effectiveness on secondary endpoints and/or within subgroup populations
Software Used:
Data Source and Inclusion/Exclusion Criteria to be used to define the patient sample for your study:
Data sources:
? Trials of GOL in UC (NCT00487539, NCT00488631)
? Trials of IFX in UC (NCT00036439, NCT00096655, NCT00336492, NCT01551290)
Inclusion criteria:
? Patients (adults or pediatric) with moderate-severe UC
? Treated with infliximab or GOL or placebo for induction
? Reported concomitant use of other medication for UC (aminosalicylates, immunosuppressives, corticosteroids)
Exclusion criteria
? Lack of information on use of 5-ASA at time of screening or first study-related visit
? Patients lost to follow-up or did not complete the induction phase of each trial
Primary and Secondary Outcome Measure(s) and how they will be categorized/defined for your study:
Primary outcome ? change in the following clinical disease activity parameters and their components from baseline to the end of the induction period, adjusted for known confounders. These include MCS, stool frequency, rectal bleeding as well as CRP/calprotectin (if available).
Main Predictor/Independent Variable and how it will be categorized/defined for your study:
Main predictor/independent variable will be use of GOL or IFX to the end of the induction period (yes vs no).
Other Variables of Interest that will be used in your analysis and how they will be categorized/defined for your study:
Key confounding variables of interest in our study are:
o Biochemical measures of disease severity ? baseline C-reactive protein as a categorical variable (
Statistical Analysis Plan:
A linear mixed model will be used to account for the correlation between repeated measures on individual patients that are clustered within studies and the time intervals of outcome assessment (defined as time elapsed since baseline assessment). The study will include fixed effects of drug treatment (infliximab, golilumab, placebo), time, treatment-time interaction, study, and additional patient-level covariates. The analysis will include random effects for patient and patient-time interaction. This model will be used to address determine the average rate of treatment effect for each drug, and the hypothesis that one drug may achieve a greater rate of treatment effect than the other drug.
Though we acknowledge time-to-event analysis would be informative, unfortunately, in these trials, all assessments were performed at standard fixed time points - partial Mayo score was assessed at weeks 2, 4, 6. Our focus is primarily on induction trials (typically 6-8 weeks long), and we will not be analyzing outcomes at later time points, so frequency or interval of long-term follow-up would have limited relevance.
Narrative Summary:
Anti-tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha therapy remains the cornerstone of management of patients with moderately-to-severely active ulcerative colitis (UC). With availability of other non-TNF-biologic and small molecule options, speed of drug onset has become an important consideration for selecting a biologic agent. In this study, we will evaluate the speed of action of infliximab (IFX) and golimumab (GOL) for induction of remission and response in patients with moderate-severe UC, through analyses of late stage (Phase III), placebo-controlled trials of IFX and GOL in UC. We have previously evaluated speed of onset of action for vedolizumab and tofacitinib.
