N2 - Introduction/objectives: The effect of intravenous (IV) golimumab on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and productivity in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) was evaluated. Method: Patients were randomized to IV golimumab 2 mg/kg (n = 105) at weeks 0, 4, then every 8 weeks (q8w) through week 52 or placebo (n = 103) at weeks 0, 4, 12, with crossover to golimumab 2 mg/kg at weeks 16, 20, then q8w through week 52. Changes from baseline in EuroQol-5 dimension-5 level (EQ-5D-5L) index and visual analog scale (EQ-VAS), daily productivity VAS, Work Limitations Questionnaire (WLQ), and Ankylosing Spondylitis Quality of Life (ASQoL) were assessed. Correlations between these outcomes and disease activity and patient functioning outcomes were evaluated post hoc. Results: At week 16, changes from baseline (mean ± standard deviation) in EQ-5D-5L index (0.17 ± 0.16 vs 0.05 ± 0.14), EQ-VAS (20.3 ± 24.6 vs 4.8 ± 23.5), daily productivity VAS (− 2.9 ± − 2.9 vs − 1.1 ± − 2.5), WLQ productivity loss score (− 3.5 ± − 5.3 vs − 1.9 ± − 4.0), and ASQoL (− 5.4 ± − 5.0 vs − 1.8 ± − 4.5) were greater in the IV golimumab versus placebo group, respectively. At week 28, changes from baseline were similar between the IV golimumab and placebo-crossover groups (EQ-5D-5L index: 0.18 ± 0.17 and 0.16 ± 0.16, EQ-VAS: 20.5 ± 27.9 and 22.5 ± 23.1, daily productivity VAS: − 3.1 ± − 3.0 and − 3.1 ± − 2.8, WLQ productivity loss: − 3.9 ± − 5.5 and − 4.5 ± − 4.5, and ASQoL: − 5.3 ± − 5.2 and − 5.3 ± − 4.8, respectively); improvements were maintained through week 52. HRQoL and productivity outcomes were generally moderately correlated with disease activity and functioning outcomes. Conclusions: In patients with AS, IV golimumab produced sustained improvements in HRQoL and productivity through 1 year, which correlated with improvements in disease activity and functioning. ClinicalTrials.gov registry number is NCT02186873.Key
