Summary: The aim of this study is to explore the effect of a low starch diet (reduction of at least 40%) in the gut bacteria modulation, especially Klebsiella pneumoniae, and its relation to disease activity, functional impairment and quality of life in patients with Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS).

Summary: The purpose of this study is to evaluate preliminary efficacy, safety pharmacokinetic (PK) characteristics, pharmacodynamics (PD) haracteristics and immunogenicity of JS005 at different doses in Chinese patients with active Ankylosing Spondylitis. Treatment difference of JS005 150mg,300mg,450mg vs. placebo in Chinese AS patients in terms of ASAS 20 response rate at Week 16 as well as safety profil...

Summary: Thyroid eye disease (TED) is a rare autoimmune, inflammatory disorder of the orbit and represents the most common extra-thyroidal manifestation of Graves' disease (GD). Several lines of evidence suggest an important role of interleukin-17A (IL-17A) in the pathogenesis of TED; increased levels of IL-17A have been detected in the serum and tears of patients with TED and IL-17A levels correlate with ...

Summary: Axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA), which encompasses radiographic axSpA (r-axSpA, also known as ankylosing spondylitis [AS]) is an immune-mediated inflammatory disease primarily affecting the axial skeleton. The most frequent axSpA symptom is chronic, often inflammatory back pain that might be difficult to distinguish from other causes of chronic back pain. Many participants report persistent pain, ...

Summary: People with inflammatory diseases are often treated with medications that act to suppress the immune-system, increasing the risk of catching infections. Consequently, vaccination with the pneumonia and seasonal flu vaccines is recommended for them. They were also prioritised to receive the COVID-19 vaccines early in the national rollout.~However, the uptake of the pneumonia and seasonal flu vaccin...

Summary: Ankylosing Spondlitis (AS) is a chronic, rheumatic disease. Foot and ankle involvement may stem from both postural changes in patients seen spinal deformity with the progress of the disease and enthesitis. The purpose of the study is to investigate the relationship plantar pressure distribution and balance, mobility and disease activity in AS patients and to compare AS patients with and without po...

Summary: The investigators have aimed to explore and interpret the neuropathic pain (NP) descriptors of spinal pain in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS). For this purpose they have attempted to initiate a prospective, cross-sectional study with AS patients.

Summary: Subclinical intestinal inflammation and gut dysbiosis have been reported in patients with spondyloarthritis (SpA). In common practice, rheumatologists are increasingly confronted with patients with inflammatory rheumatism who are on gluten-free diets (GFDs), despite the lack of reliable data from controlled studies. This study aims to determine the impact of a GFD on the quality of life of patient...

Summary: This study is designed to learn about response to CC-99677 treatment by measuring signs and symptoms of Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS), objective measures of disease activity, quality of life assessments, pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability over a 12-week double-blind period.

Summary: Axial Spondyloarthritis (Ax-SpA) are chronic systemic inflammatory rheumatological diseases characterized by axial skeletal involvement and enthesitis. Sacroiliitis is the most prominent sign of the disease. The International Society for the Evaluation of Spondyloarthritis created a new classification for Ax-SpA in 2009. According to this classification, Ax-SpA; It is divided into two groups as an...

Summary: The purpose of this study is to assess efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics and immunogenicity of subcutaneous SHR-1314 in patients with active ankylosing spondylitis

Summary: Adalimumab is a recombinant monoclonal antibody (IgG1 subclass) against human TNF-α (Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha). It is an immunosuppressive medication predominantly used to treat rheumatoid arthritis autoimmune disease. It is also used for the treatment of psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and Crohn's disease etc. Adalimumab binds specifically to TNF-α and blocks its general cytokine ...
