Study Endpoints
Primary Endpoints
Number of Participants Achieving a Good or Moderate European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) Response at Month 6
Month 6

EULAR response was assessed at the end of Month 6 by the Disease Activity Score using the 28 tender and swollen joint count calculated with erythrocyte sedimentation rate values (DAS28-ESR). A good response was defined as a decrease \>1.2 units and a final DAS28-ESR \< 3.2 units, while a moderate response was defined as a decrease \> 1.2 units and final DAS28-ESR \>= 3.2 units, OR a decrease of 0.6 to 1.2 units AND final DAS28-ESR \<= 5.1 units

Number of Participants Experiencing Disease Activity Score 28-Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (DAS28-ESR) Remission at the Start of Month 11 and End of Month 12
Start of Month 11, End of Month 12

The number of participants experiencing DAS28-ESR remission was evaluated at the start of study Month 11 and the end of study Month 12. The DAS28-ESR is expressed on a unit on a scale with the minimum score=0 (best) to maximum score=10 (worst). Remission was defined as DAS28-ESR \<2.6.

SC-GLM50EXPERIMENTALIn Part 1 of the study, participants received subcutaneous golimumab treatment at a dose of 50 mg once monthly for 6 months in combination with background DMARD treatment.
IV GLM 2 mg/kg + GLM50-SCEXPERIMENTALAfter 6 months of treatment in study Part 1, participants with good or moderate response but not in remission will receive intravenous (IV) golimumab at a dose of 2 mg/kg once monthly for a period of 6 months or until remission is achieved. Participants will receive IV GLM at a dose of 2 mg/kg at the start of Month 7, and then at the start of Month 8 and Month 10 if the subject has not achieved remission at any of these IV administration visits. If remission is achieved, participants were switched to subcutaneous golimumab at a dose of 50 mg once monthly until study end, in combination with background DMARD treatment.
GLM50-SCEXPERIMENTALAfter 6 months of treatment in study Part 1, participants with good or moderate response but not in remission will receive subcutaneous golimumab at a dose of 50 mg once monthly for a period of 6 months, in combination with background DMARD treatment.
