Active clinical trials for "Spondylitis"

Randomized, controlled, double-blind, multicenter phase II study comparing risedronate 35mg (ActonelR 35mg weekly tablet) versus placebo in patients with active ankylosing spondylitis (AS) treated with standard first and second-line therapies. Primary efficacy endpoint: Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI). The time schedule for performing the BASDAI was at screening, upon inclusion (T0), then after 3, 6 and 12 months or at the time of premature withdrawal in case of drop-out. secondary endpoints: Clinical endpoints: The secondary efficacy measures were the following: Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index (BASFI) , Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Metrology Index (BASMI), ASAS (Assessments in Ankylosing Spondylitis) Working Group core set of domains, Spinal pain VAS, ESR, CRP and the percentage of patients achieving 20% or greater decrease in each of these parameters. These parameters were determined at T0, T3, T6, T12 or at the time of premature withdrawal in case of drop-out. The spinal pain assessed by VAS was also done at screening. DEXA: Dual Energy X-Ray-Absorptiometry (DEXA) measurements were performed in all patients upon inclusion (T0) and at the end of the study (T12). Biochemical markers: selected biochemical markers of bone metabolism were measured at T0, T3, T6 and T12 or at the time of premature withdrawal in case of drop-out using commercially available kits. Bone formation was assessed by serum bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BAP) and osteocalcin (OC) levels using commercially available kits. Bone resorption was assessed in serum by the C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen degradation (Crosslaps R) and urinary N-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen degradation (Osteomark R). Trial with medicinal product

This study is an extension trial of 0881A3-312-EU and is designed to provide information on the safety and efficacy of etanercept in patients with ankylosing spondylitis for up to 3 additional years.

The purpose of this study is to compare efficacy, pharmacokinetics, and safety of investigational formulations of etanercept administered as 50 mg once weekly with 25 mg twice weekly and placebo in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS).

Continuous treatment with the anti-tumor necrosis factor alpha monoclonal antibody infliximab is efficacious in ankylosing spondylitis (AS), whereas treatment discontinuation results in disease relapse, with variable delay. Objective of this study was to compare efficacy between a continuous treatment with infliximab, and a treatment adapted to symptoms recurrence. Addition of methotrexate (MTX)to infliximab was also tested.

This study will represent the sponsor's first controlled study of etanercept in Chinese subjects with Ankylosing Spondytitis (AS). This trial is designed to assess the safety and efficacy of etanercept compared to placebo in the treatment of patients with AS.

The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the study drug known as ixekizumab in biological disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (bDMARDs)-naive participants with radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (rad-axSpA).

The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ixekizumab in tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitor-experienced participants with radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (rad-axSpA).

The objective of this multicenter, randomized, double-blind study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of continuing versus withdrawing therapy with adalimumab 40 mg given every other week SC in maintaining remission in subjects with moderate to severe non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis.

The purpose of this study was to generate 16-week efficacy data, as well as up to 3-year efficacy, safety and tolerability data in subjects with active AS despite current or previous NSAID, DMARD and/or anti-TNF therapy.

This was a monocentric, open label, Phase I-IIa study. Eligible patients who signed the ICF received two single intravenous (IV) bolus of the imaging agent 99mTc-rhAnnexin V-128. The first dose was administered on Day 1, and the second dose on Day 42 (±2 weeks). All patients were to start a new disease modifying treatment for RA or AS on Day 2. This disease modifying treatment was at the discretion of the investigator and was not chosen by the sponsor. Safety was monitored at every visit. Whole body scintigraphic imaging was performed at Day 1 and Day 42 after 99mTc-rhAnnexin V-128 dosing. Clinical disease assessments were performed at screening, Day 42 and Day 90 to assess response to RA or AS treatment. Blood was drawn to test for 99mTc-rhAnnexin V-128 immunogenicity at screening and on Days 30, 56 and 90. Patients participating in the pharmacokinetic (PK)/dosimetric sub-study had additional assessments in the 24 hours following the Day 1 dose of 99mTc-rhAnnexin V-128.
