ALERT: US Boxed Warning
Serious infection:

Patients treated with golimumab are at an increased risk of developing serious infections that may lead to hospitalization or death. Most patients who developed these infections were taking concomitant immunosuppressants, such as methotrexate or corticosteroids.

Discontinue golimumab if a patient develops a serious infection.

Reported infections with tumor necrosis factor (TNF) blockers include the following:

Active tuberculosis (TB), including reactivation of latent TB. Patients with TB have frequently presented with disseminated or extrapulmonary disease. Test patients for latent TB before golimumab use and during therapy. Initiate treatment for latent infection prior to golimumab use.

Invasive fungal infections, including histoplasmosis, coccidioidomycosis, candidiasis, aspergillosis, blastomycosis, and pneumocystosis. Patients with histoplasmosis or other invasive fungal infections may present with disseminated, rather than localized, disease. Antigen and antibody testing for histoplasmosis may be negative in some patients with active infection. Consider empiric antifungal therapy in patients at risk of invasive fungal infections who develop severe systemic illness.

Bacterial, viral, and other infections due to opportunistic pathogens, including Legionella and Listeria.

Consider the risks and benefits of treatment prior to initiating therapy in patients with chronic or recurrent infection.

Monitor patients closely for the development of signs and symptoms of infection during and after treatment, including the possible development of TB in patients who tested negative for latent TB infection prior to initiating therapy.

Malignancy:

Lymphoma and other malignancies, some fatal, have been reported in children and adolescents treated with TNF blockers.

Warnings/Precautions

Concerns related to adverse effects:

• Autoimmune disorder: Positive antinuclear antibody titers have been detected in patients (with negative baselines). Rare cases of autoimmune disorder, including lupus-like syndrome, have been reported; monitor and discontinue if symptoms develop.

• Demyelinating disease: Rare cases of new-onset or exacerbation of demyelinating disorders (eg, multiple sclerosis, optic neuritis, Guillain-Barré syndrome, polyneuropathy) have been reported. Consider discontinuing in patients who develop peripheral or CNS demyelinating disorders during treatment. Use with caution in patients with pre-existing or recent onset central or peripheral nervous system demyelinating disorders.

• Heart failure: Worsening and new-onset heart failure (HF) (some fatal) have been reported with golimumab and other TNF-blockers. Monitor closely and discontinue with onset or worsening of symptoms. Use with caution in patients with HF or decreased left ventricular function. In a scientific statement from the American Heart Association, TNF blockers have been determined to be agents that may either cause direct myocardial toxicity or exacerbate underlying myocardial dysfunction (magnitude: major) (AHA [Page 2016]).

• Hematologic effects: Cases of pancytopenia and other significant cytopenias, including aplastic anemia, have been reported with TNF-blocking agents. Pancytopenia, leukopenia, neutropenia, and thrombocytopenia have occurred with golimumab. Consider discontinuing with significant hematologic abnormalities. Use with caution in patients with underlying hematologic disorders.

• Hepatitis B: Rare reactivation of hepatitis B virus (HBV), sometimes fatal, has occurred in chronic virus carriers, usually in patients receiving concomitant immunosuppressants; evaluate for HBV prior to initiation in all patients. Patients who test positive for HBV surface antigen should be referred for hepatitis B evaluation/treatment prior to golimumab initiation. Monitor for clinical and laboratory signs of active infection during and for several months following discontinuation of golimumab treatment in HBV carriers; interrupt therapy if reactivation occurs and treat appropriately with antiviral therapy; if resumption of therapy is deemed necessary, exercise caution and monitor patient closely.

• Hypersensitivity reactions: Severe systemic hypersensitivity reactions (including anaphylaxis) have been reported (some have occurred with the first dose) following intravenous and subcutaneous administration. Symptoms associated with reactions may include dyspnea, hives, nausea, and pruritus; reactions occurred during and within 1 hour of the start of IV infusion. Discontinue immediately if signs develop and initiate appropriate treatment.

• Infections: [US Boxed Warning]: Patients receiving golimumab are at increased risk for serious infections which may result in hospitalization and/or fatality; infections usually developed in patients receiving concomitant immunosuppressive agents (eg, methotrexate or corticosteroids). Tuberculosis (TB) disease (active TB) (or reactivation of tuberculosis infection [latent TB]), invasive fungal (including aspergillosis, blastomycosis, candidiasis, coccidioidomycosis, histoplasmosis, and pneumocystosis) and bacterial, viral, or other opportunistic infections (including legionellosis and listeriosis) have been reported in patients receiving TNF-blocking agents, including golimumab. May present as disseminated (rather than local) disease. Histoplasmosis testing (antigen or antibody) may be negative in some patients with active infection. Monitor closely for signs/symptoms of infection. Discontinue for serious infection or sepsis. Consider risks versus benefits prior to use in patients with a history of chronic or recurrent infection. Consider empiric antifungal therapy in patients who are at risk for invasive fungal infection and develop severe systemic illness. Caution should be exercised (consider risks versus benefits) when considering use in the elderly, patients taking concomitant immunosuppressants, patients with chronic or recurrent infection, patients who have been exposed to TB, patients with a history of opportunistic infection, patients with comorbid conditions that predispose them to infections (eg, diabetes), or residence/travel from areas of endemic mycoses (blastomycosis, coccidioidomycosis, histoplasmosis). Do not initiate golimumab therapy in patients with active infection, including localized infection, which is clinically important. Patients who develop a new infection while undergoing treatment should be monitored closely.

• Malignancy: [US Boxed Warning]: Lymphoma and other malignancies (some fatal) have been reported in children and adolescent patients receiving TNF-blocking agents. Half of the malignancies reported in children were lymphomas (Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin) while other cases varied and included malignancies not typically observed in this population. The onset of malignancy was after a median of 30 months (range: 1 to 84 months) after the initiation of the TNF-blocking agent; most patients were receiving concomitant immunosuppressants. The impact of golimumab on the development and course of malignancy is not fully defined. Compared with the general population, an increased risk of lymphoma has been noted in clinical trials; however, rheumatoid arthritis alone has been previously associated with an increased rate of lymphoma. Lymphomas and other malignancies were also observed (at rates higher than expected for the general population) in adult patients receiving TNF-blocking agents. Hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma (HSTCL), a rare T-cell lymphoma, has also been associated with TNF-blocking agents, primarily reported in adolescent and young adult males with Crohn disease or ulcerative colitis treated with a TNF-blocking agent and concurrent or prior azathioprine or mercaptopurine. Melanoma and Merkel cell carcinoma have been reported in patients receiving TNF-blocking agents including golimumab. Perform periodic skin examinations in all patients during therapy, particularly those at increased risk for skin cancer. Consider risks versus benefits in patients with a known malignancy (other than a successfully treated nonmelanoma skin cancer) and if considering continuing treatment in a patient who develops a malignancy.

• Tuberculosis: [US Boxed Warning]: Tuberculosis (disseminated or extrapulmonary) has been reported in patients receiving golimumab; both reactivation of TB infection (latent TB) and new infections have been reported. Patients should be evaluated for TB risk factors and TB infection (with a tuberculin skin test) prior to and during therapy. Treatment of TB infection should be initiated before use. Monitor for development of TB throughout treatment in patients with initial negative tuberculin skin tests, patients currently receiving treatment for TB infection, or patients previously treated for TB; TB disease (active TB) has developed in this population during treatment with TNF-blocking agents. Use with caution in patients who have resided in regions where TB is endemic. Consider antituberculosis therapy if an adequate course of treatment cannot be confirmed in patients with a history of TB infection or disease or for patients with risk factors despite negative skin test. Prior to use, consider risks versus benefits in patients who have been exposed to TB.

Special populations:

• Older adult: Use with caution; general incidence of infection is higher in elderly patients.

• Patients with rheumatic musculoskeletal disease undergoing hip or knee replacement surgery: Hold biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) prior to surgery and plan surgery after the next dose is due. Surgery can occur after holding medication for 1 full dosing cycle (eg, for medications administered every 4 weeks, schedule surgery 5 weeks from last administered dose); therapy can be restarted once surgical wound shows evidence of healing (eg, no swelling, erythema, or drainage), sutures/staples are removed, and no ongoing nonsurgical site infections (typically ~14 days to reduce infection risk). Decisions to withhold therapy should be based on shared decision making; ensure the patient and their provider weigh risks of interrupting therapy and disease control versus risks of continuing therapy and surgical complications (ACR/AAHKS [Goodman 2022]).

• Pediatric: [US Boxed Warning]: Lymphoma and other malignancies (some fatal) have been reported in children and adolescent patients receiving TNF-blocking agents.

Dosage form specific issues:

• Latex: Some dosage forms may contain dry natural rubber (latex).

• Polysorbate 80: Some dosage forms may contain polysorbate 80 (also known as Tweens). Hypersensitivity reactions, usually a delayed reaction, have been reported following exposure to pharmaceutical products containing polysorbate 80 in certain individuals (Isaksson 2002; Lucente 2000; Shelley 1995). Thrombocytopenia, ascites, pulmonary deterioration, and renal and hepatic failure have been reported in premature neonates after receiving parenteral products containing polysorbate 80 (Alade 1986; CDC 1984). See manufacturer's labeling.

Other warnings/precautions:

• Administration formulation/route: The safety and efficacy of switching between the IV and SubQ formulations and routes have not been studied.

• Immunizations: Patients should be brought up to date with all immunizations before initiating therapy. Live vaccines should not be given concurrently; there is no data available concerning secondary transmission of infection by live vaccines in patients receiving therapy. In clinical trials, humoral response to pneumococcal vaccine was not suppressed in psoriatic arthritis patients receiving golimumab. It is recommended to wait 6 months following the mother’s last infusion during pregnancy before administering any live vaccine to infants exposed to golimumab in utero.

Reproductive Considerations

Treatment algorithms are available for use of biologics in female patients with Crohn disease who are planning a pregnancy (Weizman 2019). Serum levels should be optimized prior to conception (Mahadevan 2019).

Pregnancy Considerations

Golimumab crosses the placenta (Benoit 2019).

Golimumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody (IgG1). Placental transfer of human IgG is dependent upon the IgG subclass, maternal serum concentrations, birth weight, and gestational age, generally increasing as pregnancy progresses. The lowest exposure would be expected during the period of organogenesis (Palmeira 2012; Pentsuk 2009).

Following administration of golimumab 100 mg every 2 weeks throughout pregnancy to a patient with ulcerative colitis, cord blood concentrations of golimumab were 121% of the maternal serum concentration at delivery. Delivery occurred 3 days after the last maternal dose (Benoit 2019).

Information related to this class of medications is emerging, but based on available data, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) blocking agents are considered to have low to moderate risk when used in pregnancy (ACOG 776 2019).

Vaccination with live vaccines (eg, rotavirus vaccine) should be avoided for the first 6 months of life if exposure to a biologic agent occurs during the third trimester of pregnancy (eg, >27 weeks' gestation) (Mahadevan 2019).

Inflammatory bowel disease is associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes including an increased risk of miscarriage, premature delivery, delivery of a low birth weight infant, and poor maternal weight gain. Management of maternal disease should be optimized prior to pregnancy. Treatment decreases disease flares, disease activity, and the incidence of adverse pregnancy outcomes (Mahadevan 2019).

Use of immune modulating therapies in pregnancy should be individualized to optimize maternal disease and pregnancy outcomes (ACOG 776 2019). When treatment for inflammatory bowel disease is needed in pregnant women, appropriate biologic therapy can be continued without interruption. Serum levels should be evaluated prior to conception and optimized to avoid subtherapeutic concentrations or high levels which may increase placental transfer. Dosing can be adjusted so delivery occurs at the lowest serum concentration. For golimumab, the final injection can be given 4 to 6 weeks prior to the estimated date of delivery, then continued 48 hours' postpartum (Mahadevan 2019).

Breastfeeding Considerations

It is not known if golimumab is present in breast milk.

Breast milk was sampled in one woman for up to 7 days following golimumab injection. Golimumab was not detected in any of the samples (Matro 2018).

According to the manufacturer, the decision to breastfeed during therapy should consider the risk of infant exposure, the benefits of breastfeeding to the infant, and benefits of treatment to the mother. However, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) blocking agents are considered compatible with breastfeeding (ACOG 776 2019; Mahadevan 2019).

Monitoring Parameters

CBC with differential; tuberculosis (TB) infection (latent TB) screening (prior to initiating and periodically during therapy); hepatitis B virus (HBV) screening (prior to initiating [all patients]; during and for several months following therapy [HBV carriers]); hepatitis C virus screening. If clinically appropriate, may consider antidrug antibody testing; refer to clinical guidelines. Monitor improvement of symptoms and physical function assessments. Monitor for signs/symptoms of demyelinating disease, heart failure (including worsening heart failure), hypersensitivity reaction, infection (prior to, during, and following therapy), and lupus-like syndrome. Monitor for signs/symptoms of malignancy (eg, splenomegaly, hepatomegaly, abdominal pain, persistent fever, night sweats, weight loss) including periodic skin examination.

Mechanism of Action

Human monoclonal antibody that binds to human tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα), thereby interfering with endogenous TNFα activity. Biological activities of TNFα include the induction of proinflammatory cytokines (interleukin [IL]-6, IL-8, Granulocyte-colony stimulating factor, granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor), expression of adhesion molecules (E-selectin, vascular cell adhesion molecule [VCAM]-1, intercellular adhesion molecule [ICAM]-1) necessary for leukocyte infiltration, activation of neutrophils and eosinophils.
