Change From Baseline in Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Score (ASDAS)
ASDAS is a composite index to assess disease activity in AS. The parameters used for the ASDAS (with CRP as acute phase reactant) are
- Total back pain
- Patient global
- Peripheral pain/swelling
- Duration of morning stiffness and
- CRP in mg/L. The ASDAScrp is calculated with the following equation: 0.121×total back pain+0.110×patient global+0.073×peripheral pain/swelling+0.058×duration of morning stiffness+0.579×Ln(CRP+1). (CRP is in mg/liter, the range of other variables is from 0(normal) to 10(very severe); Ln represents the natural logarithm). Data from five variables combined to yield a score (0.6361 to no defined upper limit), where higher scores indicated higher disease activity. Least Square (LS) mean was determined by mixed-model repeated measures (MMRM) with treatment, geographic region, baseline CRP status, number of prior tumor necrosis factor inhibitor (TNFi), baseline value, visit, baseline value-by-visit, and treatment-by-visit interaction as fixed factors.

The fatigue severity NRS is a participant administered single-item 11-point horizontal scale anchored at 0 and 10, with 0 representing "no fatigue" and 10 representing "as bad as you can imagine". Participants rate their fatigue (feeling tired or worn out) by circling the 1 number that describes their worst level of fatigue during the previous 24 hours. LS mean was determined by MMRM with treatment, geographic region, baseline CRP status, number of prior TNFi, baseline value, visit, baseline value-by-visit, and treatment-by-visit interaction as fixed factors.
Measured: Baseline, Week 16
Change From Baseline in the Jenkins Sleep Evaluation Questionnaire (JSEQ)
The Jenkins Sleep Evaluation Questionnaire (JSEQ) is a 4 item scale designed to estimate sleep problems in clinical research. The JSEQ assesses the frequency of sleep disturbance in 4 categories: 1) trouble falling asleep, 2) waking up several times during the night, 3) having trouble staying asleep (including waking up far too early), and 4) waking up after the usual amount of sleep feeling tired and worn out. Patients report the numbers of days they experience each of these problems in the past month on a 6 point Likert Scale ranging from 0 = "no days" to 5 = "22-30 days. The total JSEQ score ranges from 0 to 20, with higher scores indicating greater sleep disturbance. LS mean was determined by MMRM with treatment, geographic region, baseline CRP status, number of prior TNFi, baseline value, visit, baseline value-by-visit and treatment-by-visit interaction as fixed factors.
Measured: Baseline, Week 16
Change From Baseline in the Work Productivity Activity Impairment Spondyloarthritis (WPAI-SpA) Scores
The WPAI-SpA consists of 6 questions to determine employment status, hours missed from work because of SpA, hours missed from work for other reasons, hours actually worked, the degree to which SpA affected work productivity while at work, and the degree to which SpA affected activities outside of work. The WPAI-SpA has been validated in the rad-axSpA patient population. Four scores are derived: percentage of absenteeism, percentage of presenteeism (reduced productivity while at work), an overall work impairment score that combines absenteeism and presenteeism, and percentage of impairment in activities performed outside of work. The computed percentage range for each sub-scale was from 0-100, with higher scores indicating greater impairment and less productivity. LS mean was determined by ANCOVA with treatment, geographic region, baseline CRP status, number of prior TNFi and baseline value as fixed factors.
Measured: Baseline, Week 16

Primary outcome
Percentage of Participants Achieving an Assessment of Spondyloarthritis International Society 40 (ASAS40) Response
Time frame: Week 16
ASAS40 is defined as improvement from baseline of greater than or equal to (>=) 40 % and absolute improvement from baseline of at least 2 units (range of 0 to 10) in at least 3 of the following 4 domains without any worsening in the remaining domain. 1. Patient Global: How active was your spondylitis on average during the last week? score ranges 0 (not active) to 10 (very active). 2. Spinal Pain: How much Pain of your spine due to Ankylosing spondylitis? score ranges 0 (no pain) to 10 (severe pain). 3. Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index (BASFI): Participant asked to rate the difficulty associated with 10 individual basic functional activities. Participant response was captured using Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) (range 0 to 10) with a higher score indicating worse function. 4. Inflammation based on Q5 \& Q6 mean of Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI) (mean of intensity \& duration of stiffness): Score ranges from "0" (none) and "10" (very severe).

What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 30 Oct 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
