Real‐world effectiveness and persistence of golimumab as second‐line anti‐TNFα drug in rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and axial spondyloarthritis patients in Italy: GO‐BEYOND, a 12‐month prospective observational study

A high proportion of patients may fail a first-line anti-TNF drug, necessitating the switch to another anti-TNF treatment. After 12 months of GLM treatment, 80% of RA patients achieved low disease activity (LDA), 37.1% with PsA achieved minimal disease activity and 55.3% with axSpA achieved LDA while persistence at 12 months in all patients was 77.7%. In this 1-year analysis of the GOBEYOND study in Italy, GLM had a favorable benefit: risk profile and high retention rate in patients with PsA, RA and axSpA.
