Background And Objectives: Golimumab is an anti-tumor necrosis factor-α human immunoglobulin G1κ monoclonal antibody that is efficacious for the treatment of moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis in adults. The objective of this study was to assess the pharmacokinetic characteristics of golimumab in healthy male Chinese subjects following a single subcutaneous (SC) administration of golimumab 50 or 100 mg. The safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of a single SC administration of golimumab in Chinese subjects were also evaluated.
