Active clinical trials for "Spondylitis, Ankylosing"

Analysis of effect of anti-TNFα treatment on HBV reactivation among patients with systemic rheumatic disease, especially rheumatoid arthritis

This is a study to assess the long term safety and tolerability of bimekizumab in subjects with ankylosing spondylitis

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of filgotinib on semen parameters in adult males with active rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, or non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis. Results of this study may be pooled with the results of a separate study being conducted in participants with inflammatory bowel disease (Protocol GS-US-418-4279; NCT03201445) with the same objective.

Infliximab and other TNF-inhibitors have revolutionised the treatment of several immunological inflammatory diseases. Still, more than half of the patients either do not respond sufficiently to infliximab therapy or loose efficacy over time. The large individual variation in the serum drug concentrations on standard doses and the development of anti-drug antibodies are thought to be main reasons for these treatment failures. An individualised treatment strategy based on systematic assessments of serum drug concentrations, therapeutic drug monitoring, has been proposed as a clinical tool to optimise efficacy of infliximab treatment. Therapeutic drug monitoring seems reasonable both from a clinical and an economical point of view, but the effectiveness of this treatment strategy still remain to be shown. The NOR-DRUM study is planned as a national, randomised controlled multicentre trial in two parts aiming to assess the effectiveness of therapeutic drug monitoring in order to achieve remission in patients with immunological inflammatory diseases starting infliximab treatment (part A) and in order to maintain disease control in patients on maintenance infliximab treatment (part B). The results of the NOR-DRUM study will hopefully contribute to an implementation of a personalised medicine approach to treatment with infliximab and other biological drugs.

This is a multicenter, Phase 2, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in subjects with active Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS). A total of approximately 100 subjects will be randomized to one of 2 treatment arms in a 1:1 ratio: oral filgotinib tablets q.d. or matching placebo q.d. Treatment duration will be 12 weeks. Each subject will stay in the study for a maximum of 20 weeks (from Screening visit to Follow-up visit).

Study of the efficacy and safety of IBI303 compared with adalimumab in adult patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) who have had an inadequate response to or who are intolerant to one or more nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)

The aim of the study is to investigate the effectiveness stretching exercises in ankylosing spondylitis.

To evaluate the impact of treatment with a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) - Celecoxib - when added to anti-tumour necrosis factor (TNF) therapy - Golimumab - as compared to anti-TNF therapy (Golimumab) alone on progression of structural damage in the spine over two years in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS).

This study assessed the clinical Assessment of SpondyloArthritis international Society (ASAS) 20 response to secukinumab and evaluated to which extent concomitant nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) treatment can be reduced in patients treated with secukinumab or placebo following an initial run-in phase of stable NSAID therapy.

BCD-085-3 is a next step in clinical investigation of BCD-085. BCD-085 is a monoclonal antibody to interleukin 17. During the trial patients with active ankylosing spondylitis will receive 40, 80 or 120 mg of BCD-085 subcutaneously at weeks 0, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12. Efficacy and safety parameters will be evaluated.
