About this study

Official title: A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety and Tolerability of ABY-035 in the Treatment of Subjects With Ankylosing Spondylitis

ABY-035-204 is a clinical study to assess the efficacy of IL-17 blocker ABY-035 in ankylosing spondylitis(AS). The primary objective is to estimate the relationship between different dose regimens of ABY-035 and clinical response as assessed by Assessment of Spondyloarthritis International Society 40 (ASAS40) response at Week 16 in subjects with active AS.

Read the detailed description

ABY-035-204 is a double-blind, randomized, parallel-group, placebo-controlled study.

The primary objective is to estimate the relationship between different dose regimens of ABY-035 and clinical response as assessed by Assessment of Spondyloarthritis International Society 40 (ASAS40) response at Week 16 in subjects with active AS.

The study will include the following 3 periods:

  1. Screening Period: Up to 35 days prior to baseline randomization.
  2. Treatment Period 1: Day 0-Week 16 Cohort 1: Eligible subjects will be randomized 1:1:1:1 to receive 1 of 4 treatments (ABY-035 High Dose every 2 weeks (Q2W), ABY-035 Low Dose every 2 weeks (Q2W), ABY-035 High Dose every 4 weeks (Q4W), or placebo Q2W), and will remain on their allowable background medication. Cohort 2: Eligible subjects will be randomized 1:1:1 to receive 1 of 3 treatments (ABY-035 High Dose every week (QW), ABY-035 Low Dose every week (QW), or placebo QW), and will remain on their allowable background medication. Randomization will be stratified by region (North Eastern Asia and North America) and previous tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) inhibitor exposure (TNFα inhibitor treated or TNFα inhibitor naïve). Maximum 30% of subjects will be TNFα inhibitor-treated subjects to ensure a representative population for the assessment of efficacy and safety. Treatment Period 1 ends at Week 16 after all trial assessments have been done and Treatment Period 2 starts at Week 16 with the IMP injection.
  3. Treatment Period 2 (Extension Period): Week 16-Week 52 Cohort 1: Subjects will receive ABY-035 High Dose Q2W treatment in an open-label manner.

Cohort 2: Subjects will receive ABY-035 High Dose QW treatment in an open-label manner.

At Week24, subjects who could not achieve an ASAS20 response from baseline are defined as non-responders and will discontinue the study treatment.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing ABY-035 in people with Ankylosing Spondylitis, run by Inmagene LLC at 47 sites in 3 countries.

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 14 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Jul 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 47 sites in China, United States, South Korea. 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 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?

The study was stopped early (reason given: The sponsor's development strategy is adjusted.). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Proportion of subjects achieving an ASAS40 response (time frame: 16 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 12 Jul 2023; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
