What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • EnbrelDrug

    Also called etanercept

    The patients will be treated in accordance with the requirements of the labeling of Enbrel® in Austria. The dosage and duration of therapy is to be determined by the physician to meet the patients' individual needs for treatment.

    To record complete dosing information, initial dose will be documented at baseline and any change will be documented with date, dose and reason at the subsequent visits.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Percentage of Participants Achieving BASDAI 40 Response at Week 24

    BASDAI is a validated self assessment tool used to determine disease activity in participant with Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS). Utilizing a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) of 0-10 (0=none and 10=very severe) participant's answered 6 questions measuring discomfort, pain and fatigue. The final BASDAI score averages the individual assessments for a final score range of 0-10. Participants who achieved a decrease of 40 percent or more from baseline to the following visits are called as responders.

    Measured: Week 24

Secondary outcomes (11)
  1. Change From Baseline in BASDAI at Week 12 and 24

    BASDAI is a validated self assessment tool used to determine disease activity in participant with Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS). Utilizing a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) of 0-10 (0=none and 10=very severe) participant's answered 6 questions measuring discomfort, pain and fatigue. The final BASDAI score averages the individual assessments for a final score range of 0-10.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 12 and Week 24

  2. Change From Baseline in the BASFI at Weeks 12 and 24

    BASFI is a validated self assessment tool that determines the degree of functional limitation in AS. Utilizing a VAS of 0-10 (0 = easy, 10 = impossible), participants answered 10 questions assessing their ability in completing normal daily activities or physically demanding activities. The BASFI score is a mean score of the 10 questions.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 12 and Week 24

  3. Participant's Global Assessment Visual Analog Scale at Weeks 12 and 24

    Measured using a 100mm VAS ranging from 0=very good to 100=very bad.

    Measured: Week 12 and Week 24

  4. Physician's Global Assessment Visual Analog Scale at Weeks 12 and 24

    Physician Global Assessment of Disease Activity was measured on a 0 to 100 mm VAS, with 0 mm= no disease activity.

    Measured: Week 12 and Week 24

  5. Mean Duration of Morning Stiffness

    Duration of morning stiffness is defined as the time elapsed when participant woke up in the morning and was able to resume normal activities without stiffness in minutes (If none was present = 0; If morning stiffness was continuing, average of duration of stiffness over the past 3 days was reported; If stiffness persisted the entire day, 1440 minutes (24h x 60 minutes) was recorded).

    Measured: Week 12 and Week 24

  6. Change From Baseline in ASQoL at Week 12 and Week 24

    ASQoL is a questionnaire that assesses disease-specific quality of life (QoL). It consists of 18 statements that are relevant to the physical and mental conditions for a participant with AS: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. Each statement is answered by the participant as a 'Yes' (scored as 1) or 'No' (scored as 0). All item scores are summed to give a total score. Total score can range from 0 (good QoL) to 18 (poor QoL).

    Measured: Baseline, Week 12 and Week 24

  7. Percentage of Participants Without Enthesitis

    Measured: Week 12 and Week 24

  8. Percentage of Participants Without Peripheral Arthritis

    Measured: Week 12 and Week 24

  9. Mean Occiput-to-wall Distance at Week 12 and Week 24

    Measured: Week 12 and Week 24

  10. Spine Agility Function by Schober Test

    Schober test determines agility of lumbar spine. It measures participant's ability to flex the lower back. Examiner makes a mark at fifth lumbar vertebra (L5); places 1 finger 5 cm below and another 10 cm above the mark. Participant is asked to touch the toes. Examiner measures the increase in distance between 2 fingers.

    Measured: Week 12 and Week 24

  11. Spine Agility Function by Ott Test

    The Ott index determines the agility of the thoracic spine.

    Measured: Week 12 and Week 24

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Spondylitis, Ankylosing, run by Pfizer.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Sep 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 26 Apr 2011). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Percentage of Participants Achieving BASDAI 40 Response at Week 24 (time frame: Week 24). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 12 Sep 2011.
