Simponi: animal efficacy model or human cells?

golimumab · TNF-α

Efficacy evidence

Mouse arthritis model: single golimumab dose (1-30 mg/kg) delayed onset of clinical symptoms

“Investigations were also performed in vivo in a mouse model of arthritis. A single dose of golimumab (1, 3, 10 or 30 mg/kg) significantly delayed onset of clinical symptoms compared to a vehicle control group.”

✓ VerifiedEMA assessment report, p. 12Source ↗

Why that model

Golimumab does not neutralize rat or mouse TNFα

“No neutralization of rat or mouse TNFα by golimumab was observed.”
