DescriptionHuman IgG1қ monoclonal antibody derived from immunizing genetically engineered mice with human TNFα. It binds and inhibits soluble and transmembrane human TNFα. Increased TNFα is associated with chronic inflammation. Thus golimumab is indicated for use in adults (i) as an adjunct to methotrexate treatment in patients with moderate to severe active rheumatoid arthritis (RA), (ii) alone or as an adjunct to methotrexate treatment in patients with active psoriatic arthritis (PsA), (iii) as a single agent in patients with active ankylosing spondylitis (AS), and (iv) as a single agent in patients with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis (UC) who require chronic steroids or have experienced intolerance or only a partial response to previous medications. In the U.S. and Canada, golimumab is marketed under the brand name Simponi. The FDA label includes a black box warning of serious infections and malignancy. Additionally in children and adolescents taking golimumab, there have been lymphoma and other malignancies observed.
Indication/DiseaseUsed in adults (i) as an adjunct to methotrexate treatment in patients with moderate to severe active rheumatoid arthritis (RA), (ii) alone or as an adjunct to methotrexate treatment in patients with active psoriatic arthritis (PsA), (iii) as a single agent in patients with active ankylosing spondylitis (AS), and (iv) as a single agent in patients with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis (UC) who require chronic steroids or have experienced intolerance or only a partial response to previous medications.
PharmacodynamicsGolimumab inhibits the activity of the cytokine, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα). In areas such as the joints and blood, increased TNFαis associated with chronic inflammation seen in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis. Thus golimumab decreases the inflammation in these conditions. Concerning ulcerative colitis, the physiological effects of golimumab has yet to be determined.
Mechanism of ActionAs a human monoclonal antibody, golimumab binds and inhibits soluble and transmembrane human TNFα. Inhibition of TNFα prevents it binding to its receptors, which prevents both leukocyte infiltration through prevention of cell adhesion proteins such as E-selectin, ICAM-1 and VCAM-1, and pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion such as IL-6, IL-8, G-CSF and GM-CSF in vitro. Consequently, in patients with chronic inflammatory conditions, decreases in ICAM-1 and IL-6 as well as C-reactive protein (CRP), matrix metalloproteinase 3 (MMP-3), and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) were observed.
ToxicityThe FDA label includes a black box warning of serious infections and malignancy. Specifically there have been hospitalizations or death from infections such as bacterial sepsis, tuberculosis (TB), and invasive fungal (histoplasmosis) and other opportunistic infections. Additionally in children and adolescents taking golimumab, there have been lymphoma and other malignancies observed.
MetabolismThe metabolism of golimumab has yet to be determined.
AbsorptionAfter subcutaneous administration, golimumab can achieve maximum serum concentrations in 2 to 6 days and has an approximate bioavailability of 53%. In healthy volunteers, the maximum average concentration reached was 3.2 ± 1.4 μg/mL.
Volume of DistributionAfter IV administration, golimumab has a volume of distribution of about 58 to 126 mL/kg. This means that golimumab stays mostly in the circulatory system.
ClearanceAfter one IV dose of golimumab, the systemic clearance was about 4.9 to 6.7 mL/day/kg.

CompanyN.A.
Brand DiscriptionSIMPONI (golimumab) is a human IgG1κ monoclonal antibody specific for human tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) that exhibits multiple glycoforms with molecular masses of approximately 150 to 151 kilodaltons. SIMPONI was created using genetically engineered mice immunized with human TNF, resulting in an antibody with human-derived antibody variable and constant regions. SIMPONI is produced by a recombinant cell line cultured by continuous perfusion and is purified by a series of steps that includes measures to inactivate and remove viruses. The SIMPONI drug product is a sterile solution of the golimumab antibody supplied as either a single dose prefilled syringe (with a passive needle safety guard) or a single dose prefilled autoinjector. The Type 1 glass syringe has a coated stopper. The fixed stainless steel needle (5 bevel, 27G, half-inch) is covered with a needle shield to prevent leakage of the solution through the needle and to protect the needle during handling to subcutaneous administration.

DescriptionHuman IgG1қ monoclonal antibody derived from immunizing genetically engineered mice with human TNFα. It binds and inhibits soluble and transmembrane human TNFα. Increased TNFα is associated with chronic inflammation. Thus golimumab is indicated for use in adults (i) as an adjunct to methotrexate treatment in patients with moderate to severe active rheumatoid arthritis (RA), (ii) alone or as an adjunct to methotrexate treatment in patients with active psoriatic arthritis (PsA), (iii) as a single agent in patients with active ankylosing spondylitis (AS), and (iv) as a single agent in patients with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis (UC) who require chronic steroids or have experienced intolerance or only a partial response to previous medications. In the U.S. and Canada, golimumab is marketed under the brand name Simponi. The FDA label includes a black box warning of serious infections and malignancy. Additionally in children and adolescents taking golimumab, there have been lymphoma and other malignancies observed.
Indication/DiseaseUsed in adults (i) as an adjunct to methotrexate treatment in patients with moderate to severe active rheumatoid arthritis (RA), (ii) alone or as an adjunct to methotrexate treatment in patients with active psoriatic arthritis (PsA), (iii) as a single agent in patients with active ankylosing spondylitis (AS), and (iv) as a single agent in patients with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis (UC) who require chronic steroids or have experienced intolerance or only a partial response to previous medications.
PharmacodynamicsGolimumab inhibits the activity of the cytokine, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα). In areas such as the joints and blood, increased TNFαis associated with chronic inflammation seen in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis. Thus golimumab decreases the inflammation in these conditions. Concerning ulcerative colitis, the physiological effects of golimumab has yet to be determined.
Mechanism of ActionAs a human monoclonal antibody, golimumab binds and inhibits soluble and transmembrane human TNFα. Inhibition of TNFα prevents it binding to its receptors, which prevents both leukocyte infiltration through prevention of cell adhesion proteins such as E-selectin, ICAM-1 and VCAM-1, and pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion such as IL-6, IL-8, G-CSF and GM-CSF in vitro. Consequently, in patients with chronic inflammatory conditions, decreases in ICAM-1 and IL-6 as well as C-reactive protein (CRP), matrix metalloproteinase 3 (MMP-3), and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) were observed.
ToxicityThe FDA label includes a black box warning of serious infections and malignancy. Specifically there have been hospitalizations or death from infections such as bacterial sepsis, tuberculosis (TB), and invasive fungal (histoplasmosis) and other opportunistic infections. Additionally in children and adolescents taking golimumab, there have been lymphoma and other malignancies observed.
MetabolismThe metabolism of golimumab has yet to be determined.
AbsorptionAfter subcutaneous administration, golimumab can achieve maximum serum concentrations in 2 to 6 days and has an approximate bioavailability of 53%. In healthy volunteers, the maximum average concentration reached was 3.2 ± 1.4 μg/mL.
Volume of DistributionAfter IV administration, golimumab has a volume of distribution of about 58 to 126 mL/kg. This means that golimumab stays mostly in the circulatory system.
ClearanceAfter one IV dose of golimumab, the systemic clearance was about 4.9 to 6.7 mL/day/kg.
