Head-to-head evidence
CT-P17 vs golimumab
Same mechanism, same race: design-graded trial evidence for both assets, with the grading rationale shown. Grades describe the quality of the evidence, never the merits of either security.

CT-P17
Developed by Celltrion
NCT03789292 · Phase 3 · completed
The trial was a large randomized, quadruple-blind comparison of CT-P17 and Humira, with 324 participants per initial treatment group. Its primary clinical endpoint, ACR20 response at Week 24, had identical reported counts in both groups, but the registry does not state whether the prespecified statistical comparison met its criterion, so the result is unclear.

NCT00264537 · Phase 3 · completed
This trial was well designed -- randomized, fully blinded, and placebo-controlled with over 600 patients -- but its two main outcomes told different stories: the joint-damage (structural) outcome clearly favored golimumab plus methotrexate, while the joint-response (ACR50) outcome for the combined golimumab groups narrowly missed statistical significance against placebo, with only one of the individual dose comparisons reaching significance on its own. A well-designed trial with a split result on its co-primary outcomes does not qualify as strong evidence of benefit.
