Description:

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase II clinical trial evaluating the preliminary efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetic, and immunogenicity of GR1501 injection (IL-17A antiboby) at different doses and dosing frequency in patients with active axial spinal arthritis. A total of 160 patients were enrolled in the planned trial, and after passing the screening period of 2 weeks, they were randomly assigned to the 100mg group, 200mg group, 300mg group or placebo group according to 1:1:1:1.After the completion of the 16-week administration period, the follow-up period (~24 weeks) was initiated.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Other	ADA	Immunogenicity index (GR1501 antibody)	Week 0, 2, 4, 16, 24
Other	IL-17A	Peripheral blood IL-17A level	Week 0, 4, 16
Primary	ASAS 20 responder	clinical response to treatment was assessed according to ASAS20 criteria. ASAS20 responder had improvement of 20% or more and absolute improvement of at least 1 units (on a scale of 0 [least] to 10 [worst]) from Baseline in at least 3 of the following 4 domains, with absence of deterioration (worsening of at least 20% an absolute Worsening of at least 1 unit) in the potential remaining domain: Patient's Global Assessment of Disease Activity; Total Back Pain visual analog scale (VAS); Function (Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index (BASFI)); and Inflammation (mean of 2 morning stiffness-related Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index [BASDAI] scores	Week 16
Secondary	ASAS 40 responder	Number of Participants Who Achieved ASAS40,ASAS40 responder had improvement of 40% or more and absolute improvement of at least 2 units (scale of 0 [least] to 10 [worst]) from Baseline in at least 3 of the following 4 domains, with no deterioration in the potential remaining domain: Patient's Global Assessment of Disease Activity; Total Back Pain visual analog scale (VAS); Function (Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index (BASFI)); and Inflammation (mean of 2 morning stiffness-related Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index [BASDAI] scores)	Week 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24
Secondary	ASAS 5/6 responder	Number of Participants Who Achieved ASAS5/6,ASAS 5/6 responder had improvement of 20% or more) from Baseline in at least 5 of the following 6 domains: Patient's Global Assessment of Disease Activity; Total Back Pain visual analog scale (VAS); Function (Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index (BASFI)); and Inflammation (mean of 2 morning stiffness-related Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index [BASDAI] scores); Spinal Mobility (BASFI); Acute phase reactant (CRP)	Week 12, 16, 24
Secondary	Mean Change Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Metrology Index (BASMI) Score	BASMI measures the range of motion based on five clinical measurements: 1) cervical rotation, 2) tragus to wall distance, 3) lumbar side flexion, 4) lumbar flexion (modified Schober's) and 5) intermalleolar distance. BASMI 0 = indicates mild disease involvement, 1 = moderate disease, and 2 = severe disease involvement. The results for cervical rotation and lumbar side flexion are the means of the left and right measurements. Scoring range 0-10. The higher the BASMI score, the more severe was the subject's limitation of movement	Week 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24
Secondary	17. Change From Baseline in Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI)	The BASDAI consists of a 1 through 10 scale (1 being no problem and 10 being the worst problem), which was used to answer 6 questions pertaining to the 5 major symptoms of AS: Fatigue, Spinal pain, Joint pain / swelling, areas of localized tenderness (called enthesitis, or inflammation of insertion sites of tendons and ligaments), morning stiffness duration, and morning stiffness severity. The physician will globally assess the subject's current disease state	Week 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24
Secondary	Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Inflammatory Scores	The study used MRI with fat-saturating techniques such as short tau inversion recovery (STIR) to look for the presence of bone marrow edema. The Berlin modification of ASspiMRI-a (ASspiMRI-a) scoring technique assesses inflammation in each of the 23 disc vertebral units (DVU), capturing edema and erosion. Scores for each DVU range from 0-3 (0=normal; 1=minor bone marrow edema (less than25% of DVU; 3=severe bone marrow edema (more that 50% of DVU). The composite score ranges from 0 to 69, with higher scores indicating more severe inflammation	Week 16, 24
Secondary	Number of adverse events to measure Safety of subcutaneously administered GR1501	Safety of GR1501 s.c. injection will be documented as numbers of adverse event	to Week 24
