About this study

Official title: A Prospective Study of the Use of the Madrid Ultrasound Scoring System in the Treatment of Anti-TNF Blocker to Peripheral Tendonitis in Patients With Spondyloarthritis

This is a randomized, double-blind, multicentral clinical trial to investigate the efficacy of Recombinant Human Tumor Necrosis Factor-α Receptor Ⅱ IgG Fc fusion protein injection (Yisaipu®) in the treatment of peripheral enthesitis in active axial spondyloarthritis(SpA) patients.

Read the detailed description

Mardird sonographic enthesis index (MASEI) was one of the most wide used scoring systems for peripheral enthesitis and the only one based on OMERACT definition of enthesopathy by EULAR. The primary purpose is to assess the MASEI to discover the value of US in diagnosis and prognosis. The second prupose is to assess different maintaining treatment programme in SpA patients with improvement of MASEI. The trial will include 96 patients with stable NSAIDs therapy, and at the first stage they will receive 24-week full-dose of Yisaipu®. Then at the second stage the patients who achieve low disease activity (LDA, ASDAS<2.1) at 24th week will be randomizedly divided into three group: full-dose of Yisaipu® group, half-dose of Yisaipu® group and placebo group. And the blind stage will last for 24 weeks. Patients who complete the 48-week therapy or achieve disease-flare criteria during the blind stage would finish the study.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
etanercept 50mg/weekExperimentalPatients who entered the study continued on the same NSAIDs medications. The NSAIDs dose was kept unchanged throughout the study. All patients were provided with the once-weekly 50 mg dose in the form of etanercept for 24 weeks. After 24 weeks, those patients who had maintained a ASDAS-CRP ≤2.1 during period 1 will be randomised to one of three arms (period 2): this arms will receive ETN 50 mg weekly (unchanged). In all three arms, the patients continued NSAIDs, and other medications, at the same dose.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing 50mg etanercept and 25mg etanercept in people with Spondyloarthropathy, run by Sun Yat-sen University at 1 site in China.

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 15 inclusion and 16 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Dec 2019. 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 China. 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. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

The change of Mardird sonographic enthesis index (MASEI) at 24 weeks (time frame: 24 weeks). 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 19 Dec 2019.
