Etanercept and Celecoxib Alone/Combined Treatment in Effectiveness and Safety of Active Ankylosing Spondylitis

June 14, 2018 updated by: Gu Jieruo, Sun Yat-sen University

A Multi-center, Open Label, Random Clinical Trial of Etanercept and Celecoxib Alone/Combined Treatment in Effectiveness and Safety of Active Ankylosing Spondylitis

This is a multi-center, open label, randomized clinical trial of etanercept and celecoxib alone/combined treatment in effectiveness and safety on active ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Subjects will be randomly assigned in a 1:1:1 ratio to one of the three groups (celexocib 200mg bid, etanercept 50mg qw, etanercept plus Celecoxib group) for 54 weeks. Primary endpoints are the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) Spondyloarthritis Research Consortium of Canada (SPARCC) score of sacroiliac(SI) joint and spine, as well as the Assessment of SpondyloArthritis International Society (ASAS)20 response rate at 52 weeks.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

A multi-center, open label, randomized clinical trial evaluating the effectiveness and safety of etanercept and celecoxib alone/combined treatment will be conducted on active ankylosing spondylitis (AS) patients. Disease activity is defined as fulfilling three aspects below: BASDAI ≥ 4 or ASDAS≥ 2.1；CRP>6 mg/L or ESR 28 mm/1st hour；more than 2 and less than 16 syndesmophyts between cervical spine and lumber spine detected by X-ray. All patients were randomly assigned in a 1:1:1 ratio to one of the three treatment groups：celecoxib 200mg bid，etanercept 50mg qw and combined therapy for 52 weeks. Primary endpoints are the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) Spondyloarthritis Research Consortium of Canada (SPARCC) score of sacroiliac(SI) joint and spine, as well as the Assessment of SpondyloArthritis International Society (ASAS) 20 response rate at 52 weeks. Key secondary Endpoints include the modified Stoke Ankylosing Spondylitis Spine Score (mSASSS), Spondyloarthritis Research Consortium of Canada (SPRACC) SI joint structural score (SSS), BASDAI, ASDAS, ASAS40, ASAS70 and ASAS5/6 response rate at 52 weeks.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.
