Brief Summary

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

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

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

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.
