About this study
Official title: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Clinical Study of the Efficacy and Safety of BCD-180 in Patients With Active Axial Spondyloarthritis
The aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, immunogenicity, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of a fixed dose of study drug (BCD-180) in comparison with placebo in patients with active axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA). The study will include HLA-B27+ patients with radiographic (r-axSpA) and non-radiographic (nr-axSpA) who had no response to prior therapy with non-steroidal anti-rheumatic drugs (NSAIDs), have not received biologic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (bDMARDs) or targeted synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (tsDMARDs), and subjects with insufficient efficacy and/or loss of efficacy on bDMARDs and/or tsDMARDs.
Read the detailed description
Subjects meeting the eligibility criteria will be randomized in 2 groups:bDMARDs and/or tsDMARD naive subjects and bDMARDs and/or tsDMARD experienced subjects will be randomized independently of each other.
bDMARDs and tsDMARD-naive subjects (naïve) will be randomized into 3 groups:
- BCD-180 (naïve);
- Placebo (naïve);
- Adalimumab. bDMARDs and/or tsDMARD experienced subjects (exp) will be randomized into 2 groups:
- BCD-180 (exp);
- Placebo (exp).
After the primary endpoint assessment all subjects will be switched to BCD-180.
- Conditions
- Axial Spondyloarthritis
- Being tested
- anti-TRBV9 monoclonal antibody infusions, Placebo infusions, Adalimumab subcutaneous injection, Placebo subcutaneous injection
- Keywords
- biologics, axial spondyloarthritis, monoclonal antibodies, TRBV9

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, immunogenicity, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of a fixed dose of study drug (BCD-180) in comparison with placebo in patients with active axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA). The study will include HLA-B27+ patients with radiographic (r-axSpA) and non-radiographic (nr-axSpA) who had no response to prior therapy with non-steroidal anti-rheumatic drugs (NSAIDs), have not received biologic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (bDMARDs) or targeted synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (tsDMARDs), and subjects with insufficient efficacy and/or loss of efficacy on bDMARDs and/or tsDMARDs.
Detailed description
Subjects meeting the eligibility criteria will be randomized in 2 groups:bDMARDs and/or tsDMARD naive subjects and bDMARDs and/or tsDMARD experienced subjects will be randomized independently of each other.
bDMARDs and tsDMARD-naive subjects (naïve) will be randomized into 3 groups:
- BCD-180 (naïve);
- Placebo (naïve);
- Adalimumab. bDMARDs and/or tsDMARD experienced subjects (exp) will be randomized into 2 groups:
- BCD-180 (exp);
- Placebo (exp).
After the primary endpoint assessment all subjects will be switched to BCD-180.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing anti-TRBV9 monoclonal antibody infusions and Adalimumab subcutaneous injection in people with Axial Spondyloarthritis, run by Biocad at 32 sites in 2 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 26 inclusion and 58 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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Jun 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 32 sites in Russia, Belarus. 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 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?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
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 who achieved ASAS40 among bDMARDs and tsDMARD-naive subjects (time frame: [Time Frame: week 24]). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 3 Jun 2024.
