Do you have any perceptions on a new treatment I have been researching - Golimumab? How does it compare to other RA treatments?

I found that you can sign up for a clinical trial that is testing the efficacy and safety of golimumab (CNTO 148) :http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT002 99546

It seems to be relatively new treatment but one that seems promising to treat and generate remission of rheumatoid arthritis.
