IV also approved and being trialled
EULAR: IV Golimumab Succeeds in AS 2017 says intravenous injection also approved for RA, and being trialled for AS. (The IV dosing is 2mg/kg every 8 weeks (vs 50mg/month for subcutaneous) so maybe there are adverse reactions to subcutaneous injections.) - Rod57 (talk) 07:21, 22 June 2017 (UTC)

Recommended or not for patients who failed other TNFi treatments?
This Wikipedia entry states that: "National Institutes for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) stated that treatment with golimumab is not recommended for RA patients who have failed prior TNFi treatment"

However, upon checking the quoted reference (doi:10.1007/s40273-013-0052-7), its last sentece states: ''"The Appraisal Committee concluded that golimumab should be recommended in combination with methotrexate as an option for patients with severe active RA who have failed on conventional DMARDs, or who have failed on a TNF-α inhibitor and are contraindicated to or withdrawn from rituximab." '' [both emphases added]

So while Wikpedia recommends against using this kind of TNFi when other failed, the NICE meta-analysis states that it's a fair try in combination with MTX.

I have a PhD in biochemistry so I think I am able to read the abstract of a scientific paper and understand it (I don't have full access to the paper and am not willing to shell $50 to read it in full). Am I missing something, or should the entry be revised?
