SUMMARY
- The company cannot recommend any practices, procedures, or usage that deviate from the approved labeling.
- Please refer to the TREMFYA Prescribing Information for relevant information regarding immunogenicity with TREMFYA. Summarized in this response are relevant data on immunogenicity from phase 3 clinical trials in adults with ulcerative colitis (UC).1
Clinical Data in UC
Phase 3 Clinical Trials - QUASAR Studies
The safety and efficacy of TREMFYA in adult patients with moderately to severely active UC was evaluated through two phase 3 clinical studies, including a 12-week induction study and a 44-week maintenance study.
- Up to week 56, 11% (n=48) of patients treated with TREMFYA at the recommended dosage developed antidrug antibodies.1
- Of these patients who tested positive for anti-guselkumab antibodies and were evaluable for neutralizing antibodies, 16% (n=6) had antibodies that were classified as neutralizing antibodies.1
- Most of the patients who were positive for antibodies to guselkumab had low titers. Two patients with the highest antibody titers exhibited low trough levels of guselkumab.1
- There was no identified clinically significant effect of antidrug antibodies on injection site reactions, or effectiveness of guselkumab, over the treatment duration of 56 weeks.1
