Active clinical trials for "Spondylitis"

The purpose of the study is to demonstrate the long-term safety, tolerability and efficacy of bimekizumab in patients with active axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA, also known as radiographic axSpa (r-axSpA)) including ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and nonradiographic axial spondyloarthritis (nr-axSpa).

The purpose of this trial is to demonstrate the clinical efficacy of GR1501 at week 16; and to demonstrate safety and tolerability of GR1501 compared to placebo in patients with Radiographic Axial Spondyloarthritis at week 16 and long term safety up to Week 48。 The main question it aims to answer is whether GR1501 injection was superior to placebo in the proportion of subjects with ASAS20 response at week 16 in patients with Radiographic Axial Spondyloarthritis.

The aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, immunogenicity, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of two doses of study drug (BCD-180) in comparison with placebo in patients with active radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA). The study will include HLA-B27+ patients with radiographic axSpA who had no response to prior therapy with Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), have not received biologic therapy or targeted Disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs).

To evaluate the potential usefulness of 68Ga-FAPI PET/CT for the diagnosis, inflammation evaluation and prognosis prediction in spondyloarthritis.

Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory rheumatic disease that mainly affects the spine and pelvis in its axial form. It is responsible for chronic inflammatory pain and sometimes ankylosis with significant functional retention. Clinicians need markers capable of precisely measuring the restriction of range of motion in these patients, reflections of the activity and/or sequelae of the disease. The Inverstigators validated movement markers in the AS by a device including inertial sensors (XSENS) and computer modeling. The accuracy and repeatability of the XSENS-Awinda system compared to the reference measurement system have been demonstrated. The XSENS-Awinda device offers new real-time evaluation possibilities for quantitative gait analysis. This opens the way to new diagnostic tools, prognostics and therapeutic perspectives for the clinician.

Scurvy is an almost forgotten carential pathology, caused by a deep vitamin C (or ascorbic acid) deficiency, a priori exceptional in industrialized countries. According to the French National Authority for Health standards, hypovitaminosis C is defined as a plasma vitamin C level of less than 23 μmol/L. This deficiency would affect 5 to 10% of the general population in industrialized countries and from 17% (clinical scurvy) to 47% (biological hypovitaminosis C) of vulnerable populations (malnutrition, hospitalized patients...). Vitamin C is essential for collagen synthesis. It plays a cofactor role in the synthesis of catecholamines precursors and takes action in synthesis of certain amino acids. In rheumatology, pain is a recurring reason for consultation. In a context of treated chronic inflammatory rheumatism (RIC), while most of patients seem in remission or in reduced activity of their disease, all real-life studies show that 30 to 40% of them complain of residual pain, 70% of chronic fatigue and 20-25% of symptoms similar to secondary fibromyalgia. Currently, authors suggest the interest of vitamin C analgesic properties, especially in musculoskeletal pain, due to the role of ascorbic acid in neurotransmitters. Vitamin C would act as a cofactor for a family of biosynthetic and regulatory metalloenzymes. Thus, the authors suggest the potential of vitamin C in an analgesic mechanism involving the biosynthesis of opioid peptides.

The purpose of the study is to learn about the ease of using a humidified fragrant citrus forest oil, along with a virtual simulation of a forest environment (i.e., with sights and sounds of nature using a personal tablet Surface Pro 3 with headphones, to learn more about how these two aspects of the simulated forest immersion therapy (SFIT) may improve pain, anxiety, blood-pressure, and heart rate related to Axial Spondyloarthritis. The investigators hope to learn how well SFIT may impact pain levels, feelings of calm, as well as blood- pressure and heart rate, and how participants tolerate the experience overall.

this study aims to determine the relatioships among the NLR ,PLR ,MLR ,red cell volume and platelet volume indices levels as biomarkers in ankylosing spondylitis.

Axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA), which encompasses radiographic axSpA (r-axSpA, also known as ankylosing spondylitis [AS]) is an immune-mediated inflammatory disease primarily affecting the axial skeleton. This study will assess how effective Rinvoq is in treating axSpA. Rinvoq is an approved drug for treating axSpA. Approximately 100 adult participants who are prescribed Rinvoq by their physician in accordance with local label will be enrolled in Japan. Participants will receive Rinvoq as prescribed by their physician according to their routine clinical practice and local label. Participants will be followed for up to 52 weeks. There is expected to be no additional burden for participants in this trial. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic according to their routine clinical practice.

The British Axial Spondyloarthritis Cohort (BAxSIC) study has been established under the auspices of the British Society for Spondyloarthritis (BRITSpA) in collaboration with the National Axial Spondyloarthritis Society (NASS) to provide real-world data to evaluate the impact of delay in diagnosis (from symptom onset to diagnosis) on work participation and functional outcomes and the natural history and impact of newly-diagnosed axial Spondyloarthritis, including disease activity, pain, fatigue, functional and work outcomes, comorbidities, therapies in the United Kingdom (UK). The study is a prospective cohort, enrolling patients attending rheumatology clinics in the UK who are newly diagnosed with axial Spondyloarthritis and naïve to biologic therapy. The study will run for an initial 3 year period commencing January 2023. Financial support was provided as a Research Grant from Pfizer Limited, UCB and Novartis.
