Active clinical trials for "Spondylitis"

The goal of this clinical trial is evaluating the efficacy and safety of Jitongning tablets in participant population. The main questions it aims to answer are: Based on the proportion of participants who achieved improvement in ASAS20, evaluate whether the efficacy of Jitongning tablets is superior to placebo in active ax-SpA adult participants. Evaluate the efficacy of Jitongning tablets in improving other key functions and symptom outcomes. Evaluating the safety of Jitongning tablets in adult ax-SpA participants. Participants will take orally Jitongning tablets or a simulated agent of Jitongning tablets. Receive examinations and follow-up visits.

Exercise is a core treatment method in the management of Axial Spondyloarthritis. Clinical guidelines recommend a combination of pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic approaches to reduce disease activity and symptoms and improve physical function. The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the provision of healthcare services remotely and the digitalization of rehabilitation services. Telerehabilitation methods provide advantages in terms of transportation, prevention of infections that may occur due to suppression of immunity with drugs, and continuity of treatment in patients with axial spondyloarthritis. In this context, it is important to evaluate the effects of remote physiotherapy and rehabilitation delivery in chronic inflammatory rheumatic diseases. This study, which will examine the effects of telerehabilitation in the disease management processes of individuals with axial spondyloarthritis, is thought to shed light on future studies. The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of telerehabilitation or pre-recorded video-based core exercise program on core endurance, disease activity and physical function in subjects with axial spondyloarthritis.

This study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of SHR0302 in subjects with active non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis.

Subclinical intestinal inflammation and gut dysbiosis have been reported in patients with spondyloarthritis (SpA). In common practice, rheumatologists are increasingly confronted with patients with inflammatory rheumatism who are on gluten-free diets (GFDs), despite the lack of reliable data from controlled studies. This study aims to determine the impact of a GFD on the quality of life of patients with axial SpA.

The aim of this study is to explore the effect of a low starch diet (reduction of at least 40%) in the gut bacteria modulation, especially Klebsiella pneumoniae, and its relation to disease activity, functional impairment and quality of life in patients with Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS).

The purpose of this study is to assess efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics and immunogenicity of subcutaneous SHR-1314 in patients with active ankylosing spondylitis

Axial spondyloarthritis (AxSpA) is a chronic disease that causes severe disability and poor quality of life. Current treatment options are limited and there are still significant non-responders to current western medications. Manual acupuncture has been shown to reduce pain in patients with AxSpA. There have been reports of electroacupuncture demonstrating more sustained pain relief. Therefore, the investigators aim to determine the clinical effectiveness, safety and cost-effectiveness of electroacupuncture as compared to manual acupuncture for patients with AxSpA through a randomized controlled trial.

Axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by inflammatory arthritis and enthesitis involving the spine. AxSpA prevalence is around 0.17% of the French population. Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) was the first target defined in axSpA. Since one third of axSpA patients failed to the first TNF blocker, many axSpA patients received a second biological Disease-Modifying AntiRheumatic Drugs (bDMARDs). Until few months, the only choice was to use a second TNF blocker.Since 2003, pharmaceutical companies investigated efficacy of TNF blockers already used in rheumatoid arthritis. Etanercept is a fusion protein with TNF receptor type II p75 and IgG1 Fc fragment, whereas adalimumab, infliximab, and golimumab are monoclonal antibodies. Certolizumab is a fusion between a fab fragment targeting TNF and a Peg fraction. All demonstrated efficacy versus placebo in a randomized double blinded study In case of failure to the first TNF blockers, rheumatologists will follow the "Treat-to-Target" principle. This approach already demonstrated its benefit in rheumatoid arthritis or in psoriatic arthritis. This concept was also suggested for axSpA with low levels of evidence and recommendation. So rheumatologist will provide the best treatment in case of failure to the first TNF blockers, which is a daily clinical situation. Since few months, rheumatologists have the choice between targeting IL-23/17 axis compared to a second TNF blocker.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate preliminary efficacy, safety pharmacokinetic (PK) characteristics, pharmacodynamics (PD) haracteristics and immunogenicity of JS005 at different doses in Chinese patients with active non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis(nr-axSpA). Treatment difference of JS005 150mg,300mg,450mg vs. placebo in Chinese nr-axSpA patients in terms of ASAS 40 response rate at Week 16 as well as safety profile will be provided by the study .

Project summary Background: For people diagnosed with a spondyloarthritis (SpA) e.g. ankylosing spondylitis or undifferentiated spondyloarthritis, physical activity and exercise are important components in the self-management. Exercise, in addition to physical and mental symptoms related to the disease can easily feel overwhelming to exercise, and low adherence may result. By studying the effects of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) in comparison with training as usual on physiological, inflammatory, and self-reported disease parameters in patients with SpA, we intend to further investigate the short-term and longitudinal training effects, and refine the knowledge to tailor, coach, and stimulate to self-performed HIIT. Objective: The purpose of this study is to investigate the short- and long-term effects of high- intensity interval training (HIIT) on physiological, inflammatory, and self-reported health parameters in patients with SpA. The aim is also to study the adherence to physical activity and exercise recommendations. Design: A randomized controlled trial (RCT) design. Participants: One hundred adults with a confirmed axial SpA from rheumatology clinics in southern Sweden will be recruited and randomized into two groups, the intervention group and the control group. Intervention: Three high-intensity training sessions per week for three months, of which two interval sessions, with coaching both from a clinical physiotherapist and digital devices (watch and app) followed by nine months with sporadic coaching. The control group will go on with exercise as usual. Primary outcome: Self-reported disease activity, inflammatory biomarkers (acute phase proteins). Secondary outcomes: Physical fitness (aerobic capacity (VO2max), blood pressure, grep strength), body composition and self-reported physical function, health status, well-being, pain, fatigue, adherence to physical activity and exercise recommendations, and confidence in one's own ability to manage pain, symptoms and high-intensity exercise, and additional serum biomarkers.
