Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Treat-to-Target (T2T)

Participants initially received treatment with any non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) at full anti-inflammatory dose for 4 weeks. After 4 weeks, if the Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Score (ASDAS) was ≥ 2.1 or treatment with NSAID 1 was not tolerated, treatment was changed to a second NSAID at full anti-inflammatory dose for 4 weeks. If ASDAS was ≥ 2.1 after 4 weeks of NSAID 2 or treatment with the chosen NSAID was not tolerated, , participants were switched to receive a combination of NSAID and adalimumab 40 mg every other week for up to 48 weeks.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Adalimumab

Intervention Type BIOLOGICAL

Administered every other week by subcutaneous injection for up to 48 weeks, depending on participants' disease activity.

Standard of Care (SOC)

Participants received treatment as prescribed by their physician according to the local standard of care.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Non-steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs)

Intervention Type OTHER

ASAS recommended NSAID doses to treat axial spondyloarthritis.
