About this study

Official title: Anti-Tumor Necrosis Factor Therapy In Patients With Ankylosing Spondylitis-A Registry Project

Assessed using (1) Adalimumab(Humira) and NSAIDs (2) Use only Adalimumab(Humira) treatment of ankylosing spondylitis patient safety and efficacy.

Read the detailed description

In this study, single center, treatment, open, randomized, controlled clinical trial to assess Adalimumab(Humira) style with NSAIDs for the treatment of patients with ankylosing spondylitis, a total of 300 are expected to be included in the consent form signed by the subject, will be randomly assigned to treatment groups with a control group of 150 people.

Subjects to be returned in the first week outpatient follow 0,8,20,44,68,92 accept routine physical examination (weight, blood pressure, etc.), AS Scale (BASDAI, BASFI, BAS-G), fingertip ground tests, lumbar range of motion, chest expansion test, lateral bending test, the occipital bone measurements, physician global assessment (Physician global assessment), patient pain scores (VAS), AS quality of Life scale (ASQOL), SF-36 quality of life scale, Complete joint assessment, ASAS20 response criteria, assessment of laboratory analysis inflammation index (HS-CRP, IgA, ESR), safety index checks (CBC, SGPT, Serum creatinine, HBV-DNA if HbsAg (+), HCV -RNA if HCVAB.

Subjects need to return OPD week 0, accept Anti-HBs, Anti-HBc, HBsAg, Anti-HCV. Subjects required to return to the first outpatient follow 0,20,92 weeks, pulmonary function tests.

Therefore, the subjects in the 92 weeks of the trial, a total need for blood six times, each time for blood about 10 cc. And to assess side effects and adverse events (Adverse Event, AE), serious adverse events (Serious Adverse Event, SAE)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing TNF alpha and NSAIDs and sulfasalazine in people with Ankylosing Spondylitis, run by Chung Shan Medical University at 1 site in Taiwan.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 May 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Taiwan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

mSASSS (Modified Stoke Ankylosing Spondylitis Spinal Score) (time frame: weeks 92). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 May 2015.
