Clinical Trial Summary

This is a randomized, double-blind, multicentral clinical trial to investigate the efficacy of Recombinant Human Tumor Necrosis Factor-α Receptor Ⅱ IgG Fc fusion protein injection (Yisaipu®) in the treatment of peripheral enthesitis in active axial spondyloarthritis(SpA) patients.

Description:

Mardird sonographic enthesis index (MASEI) was one of the most wide used scoring systems for peripheral enthesitis and the only one based on OMERACT definition of enthesopathy by EULAR. The primary purpose is to assess the MASEI to discover the value of US in diagnosis and prognosis. The second prupose is to assess different maintaining treatment programme in SpA patients with improvement of MASEI. The trial will include 96 patients with stable NSAIDs therapy, and at the first stage they will receive 24-week full-dose of Yisaipu®. Then at the second stage the patients who achieve low disease activity (LDA, ASDAS<2.1) at 24th week will be randomizedly divided into three group: full-dose of Yisaipu® group, half-dose of Yisaipu® group and placebo group. And the blind stage will last for 24 weeks. Patients who complete the 48-week therapy or achieve disease-flare criteria during the blind stage would finish the study.
