23 EFFICACY Signs and symptoms of RA Clinical remission Pre-erosive lesions Structural damage GO-FORWARD: MRI of the wrist at baseline, Week 12, and Week 24 of a patient randomized to receive SIMPONI 100 mg plus placebo. Coronal short tau inversion recovery (STIR) images (A C) show extensive bone edema at baseline (A). The bone edema has markedly decreased at Week 12 (B) and has nearly resolved at Week 24 (C). Corresponding postcontrast T1-weighted images with fat suppression (D F) show substantial synovitis at baseline (D) and markedly reduced synovitis at Week 12 (E) and Week 24 (F). Precontrast T1-weighted images without fat suppression (G I) show no progression of bone erosion during the 24-week follow-up period. Note: Series of consecutive images were evaluated; the images displayed here are representative but not exhaustive.

24 EFFICACY Signs and symptoms of RA Clinical remission Pre-erosive lesions Structural damage SIMPONI helps to significantly inhibit progression of structural damage 1 SIMPONI 50 mg + MTX significantly inhibited radiographic progression at Week 52 in previously MTX-naïve patients, as measured by SHS. 1 Nearly half the radiographic progression seen vs MTX alone. Benefits demonstrated even in patients with disease duration >3 years (established RA). In MTX-experienced patients with active disease, SIMPONI 50 mg + MTX significantly limited radiographic progression at Week 24 and reduced RA signs and symptoms as measured by ACR20 responses at Weeks 14 and MTX naive MTX experienced RA SIMPONI, in combination with MTX, has been shown to reduce the rate of progression of joint damage as measured by x-ray and to improve physical function leading to potential improvements in patient QoL. 3

46 SAFETY 3-year safety data SIMPONI (golimumab) Comprehensively tested GO-AFTER: a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial (N=461) to evaluate the efficacy and safety of SIMPONI in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who had previously received one or more TNFα inhibitors. Patients with active RA were randomly assigned (1:1:1) to placebo or SIMPONI 50 mg or 100 mg. The primary end point was the proportion of patients who achieved 20% or higher improvement in ACR criteria for assessment of RA (ACR20) at Week 14. At Week 16, patients who had less than 20% improvement in tender and swollen joint counts were given rescue therapy in a double-blinded manner: patients in the placebo group received SIMPONI 50 mg, patients in the SIMPONI 50-mg group had a dose escalation to 100 mg, and patients in the SIMPONI 100-mg group continued to receive 100 mg.

47 SAFETY 3-year safety data SIMPONI (golimumab) Comprehensively tested GO-REVEAL: a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study (N=405) in patients with active PsA. Patients were randomized to treatment with SC SIMPONI 50 mg, SIMPONI 100 mg, or placebo every 4 weeks to Week 20.

131 SAFETY 3-year safety data SIMPONI (golimumab) Comprehensively tested GO-FORWARD: a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study (N=444) to examine the effi cacy and safety of SIMPONI in patients with active RA despite MTX therapy. Patients were randomized in a 3:3:2:2 ratio to treatment with placebo injections plus MTX capsules, injections of SIMPONI 100 mg plus placebo capsules, SIMPONI 50 mg plus MTX, or SIMPONI 100 mg plus MTX. Injections were administered subcutaneously every 4 weeks. Primary end points were the proportion of patients with 20% improvement in the ACR criteria at Week 14 and the change from baseline in the HAQ-DI score at Week 24. Responder analysis.

132 SAFETY 3-year safety data SIMPONI (golimumab) Comprehensively tested GO-AFTER: a multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase III trial (N=461) to evaluate the efficacy and safety of SIMPONI in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who had previously received one or more TNFα inhibitors. Patients with active RA were randomly assigned (1:1:1) to placebo, SIMPONI 50 mg, or SIMPONI 100 mg. The primary end point was the proportion of patients who achieved 20% or higher improvement in ACR criteria for assessment of RA (ACR20) at Week 14. At Week 16, patients who had <20% improvement in tender and swollen joint counts were given rescue therapy in a double-blinded manner: patients in the placebo group received SIMPONI 50 mg, patients in the SIMPONI 50-mg group had a dose escalation to 100 mg, and patients in the SIMPONI 100-mg group continued to receive 100 mg.

133 SAFETY 3-year safety data SIMPONI (golimumab) Comprehensively tested GO-REVEAL: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study (N=405) in patients with active PsA. Patients were randomized to treatment with SC SIMPONI 50 mg, SIMPONI 100 mg, or placebo every 4 weeks to Week 20. The primary end point was the proportion of patients meeting the ACR20 improvement criteria at Week 14.

134 SAFETY 3-year safety data SIMPONI (golimumab) Comprehensively tested GO-RAISE: a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study (N=356) to evaluate the efficacy and safety of SIMPONI. Patients with active AS were randomly assigned (1.8:1.8:1) to SC SIMPONI 50 mg or 100 mg or placebo, every 4 weeks. The primary end point was the proportion of patients who achieved ASAS20 response at Week 14. At Week 16, patients who had failed to achieve ASAS20 response entered early escape in a double-blinded manner: patients in the placebo group received SC SIMPONI 50 mg, patients in the group receiving SC SIMPONI 50 mg had a dose escalation to 100 mg, and patients in the 100-mg group continued to receive 100 mg. All other patients in the placebo group were switched in Week 24 to SC SIMPONI 50 mg.
