Study design details

Main study objective

The primary objective of this study is to compare the incidence of lymphoma in adult patients with moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis who are treated with golimumab versus those treated with thiopurines

Outcomes

Incidence of Lymphoma Time Frame: 10 years Incidence was calculated as number of participants with newly diagnosed lymphoma during registry in each cohort. -Relative Risk of Lymphoma (ratio of the rate of lymphoma events in participants in each cohort) -Long-term Safety: Participants with Adverse Events of Interest (AEIs) and Serious -Clinical Disease Status as assessed by Partial Mayo Score -SIBDQ Score -EQ-5D Score -WPAI-UC -TSQM -Health care utilization

Data analysis plan

The incidence of validated outcomes of lymphoma, rates per 100 patient-years, and the corresponding 95% CIs will be summarized and compared between the Simponi-exposed cohort and the comparator cohort. To rule out a clinically meaningful increase in the lymphoma rate in the Simponi-exposed cohort that exceeds the lymphoma rate in the thiopurine-exposed cohort, hazard ratios and 95% CIs for lymphoma will be estimated using the Cox proportional hazards regression analysis, adjusting for potential confounding variables.
