Active clinical trials for "Spondylitis, Ankylosing"

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of tele-yoga on functional level, disease activity, spinal mobility, balance, aerobic capacity, sleep quality, anxiety, depression, stress, mindfulness and quality of life in patients with ankylosing spondylitis

This is a multi-center, open label, randomized clinical trial of etanercept and celecoxib alone/combined treatment in effectiveness and safety on active ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Subjects will be randomly assigned in a 1:1:1 ratio to one of the three groups (celexocib 200mg bid, etanercept 50mg qw, etanercept plus Celecoxib group) for 54 weeks. Primary endpoints are the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) Spondyloarthritis Research Consortium of Canada (SPARCC) score of sacroiliac(SI) joint and spine, as well as the Assessment of SpondyloArthritis International Society (ASAS)20 response rate at 52 weeks.

This is a randomized controlled trial with blinded assessor on the effects of aerobic exercise (walking)in patients with Ankylosing Spondylitis.

Study to assess the efficacy and safety of meloxicam suppository 15 mg once daily, meloxicam tablet 15 mg once daily compared with Indomethacin suppository (50 mg daily) in patients with ankylosing spondylitis

Evaluate the efficacy and safety of taking thalidomide tablets once daily in the treatment of active ankylosing spondylitis. To explore dose-effect relationships of taking thalidomide tablets once daily in the treatment of active ankylosing spondylitis, as well as selecting the appropriate dose for the further larger scale clinical trials.

To determine the effect of Golimumab treatment on the number and function of Endothelial Progenitor Cells (EPCs) in Ankylosing Spondylitis(AS) patients as a possible mechanism for the effect of this treatment on endothelial function. To ascertain the effect of Golimumab treatment on , carotid intima-media thickness, vascular stiffness in Ankylosing Spondylitis(AS) patients as measured by pulse wave velocity (PWV) and Augmentation index (AIx). To assess the clinical efficacy of Golimumab in Chinese Ankylosing Spondylitis(AS) patients according to ASAS response criteria at month 3, 6 and 12. To perform cost-effectiveness and cost-utility analyses of the Golimumab in Ankylosing Spondylitis(AS) patients, using clinic-base data.

This is a two part study. During period one there will be a comparison of Etanercept (ETN) against a placebo with both arms maintaining the background anti inflammatory drug prescribed by their Physician. The hypothesis is that Etanercept will be superior to the placebo arm as determined by the proportion of subjects achieving Assessments in Ankylosing Spondylitis (ASAS)40 improvement at 12 weeks. This will be followed by 92 weeks extension where everyone in the trial receives Etanercept (ETN) and a background non steroidal anti inflammatory drug(NSAID).

Combination Methotrexate and Infliximab:Influence of immunogenicity on the efficacy of infliximab in patients with Ankylosing Spondylitis.

The primary objective of the study was to compare the efficacy of etanercept (25 mg, twice weekly) with that of placebo based on the percentage of patients who achieve the Assessment in Ankylosing Spondylitis (ASAS) response criteria (ASAS 20%) at week 12.

The primary objective of this study was to determine the long-term safety of etanercept in adults with AS who had completed study 0881A3-311-EU.
