Treatment With Alendronate in Patients With Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS)
Ankylosing SpondylitisOsteoporosisThis prospective study will assess the effects of treatment with alendronate in osteoporotic patients with ankylosing spondylitis. Primary objectives: To investigate if alendronate effect bone mineral density (BMD) assessed by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) in lumbar spine, hip and distal forearm and assessed by quantitative computed tomography (QCT) in lumbar spine and by Xtreme CT in radius and tibia. Secondary objectives: To investigate if alendronate effects markers of bone remodeling To investigate if alendronate influences disease activity (BASDAI), spinal function (BASFI), spinal movement (BASMI) and health related quality of life (SF-36).
EValuation of HumIRA® in Patients With Active Rheumatoid Arthritis, Psoriatic Arthritis and Ankylosing...
Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS)Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA1 moreThis is a non-interventional, post-marketing, observational study (PMOS) in which Humira (adalimumab) is prescribed in the usual manner in accordance with the terms of the local marketing authorization with regards to dose, population and indication. No data currently exists to characterize patient populations being prescribed Humira in Eastern Europe. Further, it is important to establish the clinical outcome and tolerability of Humira in Eastern European patients, as well as their compliance with Humira treatment, in particular the acceptability of self-injection, which may influence all of the above in routine clinical practice.

Differences in Bone Cell Activity Between Rheumatoid Arthritis and Ankylosing Spondylitis
Rheumatoid ArthritisBone Resorption1 moreRheumatoid arthritis (RA) and ankylosing spondylitis (AS) are characterized by chronic systemic inflammation and share common pathogenic pathways. In both diseases, cytokines like TNF (tumor necrosis factor) and interleukin (IL)-17, known for their pro-inflammatory and osteoclastogenic effects, are relevant players, however, while RA is characterized by bone erosions, AS favors bone overgrowth. Understanding this paradox may hold the key for a better management of both diseases. Our hypothesis is that there are differences in the cellular environment and intracellular signaling between AS and RA. To test this hypothesis we will evaluate the cytokine milieu, the kinetics of bone cells differentiation and their activity in untreated and immunosuppressed RA and AS patients. We will also perform the same observations in patients exposed to targeted treatments.
