Brief Summary

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

This is an observational study to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of secukinumab in participants with AS who have never used TNFi, JAKi, or IL-17i drugs before.

Detailed Description

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

This study is an observational study to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of secukinumab in patients with ankylosing spondylitis who are naive to TNFi/JAKi/IL-17i in Korea. Subjects will be recruited from 10 institutions in Korea. The enrollment period is 8 months from the initiation at the first institution and the follow-up periods are 28 weeks(±4 weeks). Data will be gathered at initial visit, 16 weeks(±4 weeks), and 28 weeks(±4 weeks).

Secukinumab is prescribed within the scope of labeling approved in Korea.

Study Groups

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

group 1

The group will include subjects diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) according to the modified 1984 New York criteria, who exhibit symptoms of active disease at both screening and baseline, as indicated by a BASDAI score of ≥ 4. Eligible participants must be biologic-naive, meaning they have no prior use of TNF inhibitors (TNFi), JAK inhibitors (JAKi), or IL-17 inhibitors (IL-17i). Additionally, patients must be deemed suitable for secukinumab treatment as per the labeling guidelines set by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety. The study will focus on individuals with a time since AS diagnosis of less than 5 years, aged between 18 and 40 years.
