Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Interventions
Biological: AVT05 (proposed biosimilar to golimumab)
Registration Number
NCT05842213
Lead Sponsor
Alvotech Swiss AG
Brief Summary

This is a study to compare the efficacy, safety and immunogenicity of AVT05 versus EU-Simponi® in combination with methotrexate (MTX) in subjects with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

The study will consist of up to 4-week Screening Period, a 48-week Treatment Period, and a 4-week Safety Follow-up Period.
