Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this observational (a study that follows participants forward in time) study is to compare the functional improvement of hip joint using Harris hip score between 2 treatment groups (infliximab and conventional therapy) at Week 30 in ankylosing spondylitis (an autoimmune disease causing chronic inflammation at tendon ends and ligament attachment points) participants with hip involvement.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a multi-center (when more than 1 hospital or medical school team work on a medical research study), observational study to compare the effectiveness of infliximab with conventional therapies in ankylosing spondylitis participants with hip joint involvement. The study will be conducted in 3 parts: a 14-day screening, a 30-week first follow-up (Follow-up 1), and an additional 22-week follow-up (Follow-up 2) up to Week 52. Participants will be assigned to two groups based on the current treatments they are receiving: cohort 1 participants receiving infliximab with or without combination of disease modifying drugs (DMARDs-such as Sulfasalazine, Methotrexate and Thalidomide) and/or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and in cohort 2 who are receiving DMARDs and/or NSAIDs for treatment of pain will be observed. Participants will primarily be assessed for change in harris hip score. Participants' safety will be monitored throughout the study.
