OBJECTIVE: This 24-week, phase IIb, double-blind study was undertaken to evaluate the efficacy and safety of mavrilimumab (a monoclonal antibody to granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor receptor α) and golimumab (a monoclonal antibody to tumor necrosis factor [anti-TNF]) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who have had an inadequate response to disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) (referred to as DMARD-IR) and/or inadequate response to other anti-TNF agents (referred to as anti-TNF-IR). METHODS: Patients with active RA and a history of DMARD-IR (≥1 failed regimen) or DMARD-IR (≥1 failed regimen) and anti-TNF-IR (1-2 failed regimens) were randomized 1:1 to receive either mavrilimumab 100 mg subcutaneously every other week or golimumab 50 mg subcutaneously every 4 weeks alternating with placebo every 4 weeks, administered concomitantly with methotrexate. The primary end points were the American College of Rheumatology 20% improvement (ACR20), 50% improvement, and 70% improvement response rates at week 24, percentage of patients achieving a Disease Activity Score in 28 joints using C-reactive protein level (DAS28-CRP) of <2.6 at week 24, percentage of patients with a score improvement of >0.22 on the Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) disability index (DI) at week 24, and safety/tolerability measures. This study was not powered to formally compare the 2 treatments. RESULTS: At week 24, differences in the ACR20, ACR50, and ACR70 response rates between the mavrilimumab treatment group (n = 70) and golimumab treatment group (n = 68) were as follows: in all patients, -3.5% (90% confidence interval [90% CI] -16.8, 9.8), -8.6% (90% CI -22.0, 4.8), and -9.8% (90% CI -21.1, 1.4), respectively; in the anti-TNF-IR group, 11.1% (90% CI -7.8, 29.9), -8.7% (90% CI -28.1, 10.7), and -0.7% (90% CI -18.0, 16.7), respectively. Differences in the percentage of patients achieving a DAS28-CRP of <2.6 at week 24 between the mavrilimumab and golimumab groups were -11.6% (90% CI -23.2, 0.0) in all patients, and -4.0% (90% CI -20.9, 12.9) in the anti-TNF-IR group. The percentage of patients achieving a >0.22 improvement in the HAQ DI score at week 24 was similar between the treatment groups. Treatment-emergent adverse events were reported in 51.4% of mavrilimumab-treated patients and 42.6% of golimumab-treated patients. No deaths were reported, and no specific safety signals were identified. CONCLUSION: The findings of this study demonstrate the clinical efficacy of both treatments, mavrilimumab at a dosage of 100 mg every other week and golimumab at a dosage of 50 mg every 4 weeks, in patients with RA. Both regimens were well-tolerated in patients who had shown an inadequate response to DMARDs and/or other anti-TNF agents.

OBJECTIVES: Despite the therapeutic value of current rheumatoid arthritis (RA) treatments, agents with alternative modes of action are required. Mavrilimumab, a fully human monoclonal antibody targeting the granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor receptor-α, was evaluated in patients with moderate-to-severe RA. METHODS: In a phase IIb study (NCT01706926), patients with inadequate response to ≥1 synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drug(s), Disease Activity Score 28 (DAS28)-C reactive protein (CRP)/erythrocyte sedimentation rate ≥3.2, ≥4 swollen joints despite methotrexate (MTX) were randomised 1:1:1:1 to subcutaneous mavrilimumab (150, 100, 30 mg), or placebo every other week (eow), plus MTX for 24 weeks. Coprimary outcomes were DAS28-CRP change from baseline to week 12 and American College of Rheumatology (ACR) 20 response rate (week 24). RESULTS: 326 patients were randomised (150 mg, n=79; 100 mg, n=85; 30 mg, n=81; placebo, n=81); 305 completed the study (September 2012-June 2013). Mavrilimumab treatment significantly reduced DAS28-CRP scores from baseline compared with placebo (change from baseline (SE); 150 mg: -1.90 (0.14), 100 mg: -1.64 (0.13), 30 mg: -1.37 (0.14), placebo: -0.68 (0.14); p<0.001; all dosages compared with placebo).Significantly more mavrilimumab-treated patients achieved ACR20 compared with placebo (week 24: 73.4%, 61.2%, 50.6% vs 24.7%, respectively (p<0.001)). Adverse events were reported in 43 (54.4%), 36 (42.4%), 41 (50.6%) and 38 (46.9%) patients in the mavrilimumab 150, 100, 30 mg eow and placebo groups, respectively. No treatment-related safety signals were identified. CONCLUSIONS: Mavrilimumab significantly decreased RA disease activity, with clinically meaningful responses observed 1 week after treatment initiation, representing a novel mechanism of action with persuasive therapeutic potential.
