NCT03259074

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the impact of secukinumab on the progression of structural damage in the spine, as measured by the modified Stoke Ankylosing Spondylitis Spine Score (mSASSS) in patients with Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Percentage of Participants With no Radiographic Progression at Week 104 (Multiple Imputation) (Full Analysis Set)

    Radiographic progression was based on scores from the modified Stoke Ankylosing Spondylitis Spine Score (mSASSS). The mSASSS is the sum of scores assessing the vertebral corners of the lumbar and cervical spine as 0 (normal), 1 (erosion, sclerosis, or squaring), 2 (syndesmophyte), or 3 (bridging syndesmophyte) with a total range from 0-72. No radiographic progression was defined as the change from baseline in mSASSS score \<= 0.5.

    Baseline and at Week 104

Secondary Outcomes (8)

  • Change From Baseline in mSASSS at Week 104 (Multiple Imputation) (Full Analysis Set)

    Baseline and at Week 104

  • Percentage of Participants Without New Syndesmophytes by mSASSS Between Baseline and Week 104 (Multiple Imputation) (Syndesmophyte Subset)

    Baseline and at Week 104

  • Change From Baseline in MRI Berlin Sacroiliac (SI) Joint Edema Score (Observed Data) (MRI Subset)

    Baseline and at Week 104

  • Change From Baseline in Berlin Modification of ASspiMRI-a Edema Score (MRI Subset)

    Baseline and at Week 104

  • Percentage of Responders for Assessment of SpondyloArthritis International Society 20 (ASAS20)
