  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Patients with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) (including both ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and nonradiographic axial spondyloarthritis (nr-axSpA)) who have been newly prescribed Certolizumab Pegol (CZP) by the treating physician in regular course of practice.

Who may be able to join

  • The patient personally signed and dated a Patient Data Consent Form (PDCF) prior to Visit 2. No data can be entered into the electronic Documentation form (eDF) prior to signature of the PDCF.
  • The patient must have a clinical diagnosis of active axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA), [ankylosing spondylitis (AS) or nonradiographic axial spondyloarthritis (nr-axSpA)] according to the diagnostic criteria used by the physician in routine clinical practice.
  • The decision to prescribe Certolizumab Pegol (CZP) is made by the physician independent of the patient's participation in the NIS.
  • The patient must be newly prescribed CZP according to local regulations or guidelines (eg, Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI) >=4).
  • Treatment is according to instructions in the Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC) for patients considered by the treating physician to be reliable and capable of adhering to the observational plan (eg, able to understand and complete questionnaires).
  • If a patient is participating in an ongoing investigational study, then he/she will not be able to take part in this study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change from Baseline to Week 52 in Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI) in the overall axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) population, and the ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and nonradiographic axSpA (nr-axSpA) subpopulations

    The BASDAI is a validated self-reported instrument, which consists of six 10 unit horizontal Numeric Rating Scales to measure the disease activity of ankylosing spondylitis (AS) from the subject's perspective. It measures the severity of fatigue, spinal and peripheral joint pain and swelling, enthesitis, and morning stiffness (both severity and duration) over the last week. The final BASDAI scores ranges from 0 to 10, with lower scores indicating lower disease activity.

    Measured: From Baseline to Week 52

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Axial Spondyloarthritis, run by UCB Biopharma S.P.R.L. at 100 sites in 6 countries.

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 6 inclusion and 1 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 11 Mar 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 100 sites in Germany, United Kingdom, Spain, Greece, Italy and 1 more country. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Change from Baseline to Week 52 in Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI) in the overall axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) population, and the ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and nonradiographic axSpA (nr-axSpA) subpopulations (time frame: From Baseline to Week 52). 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 11 Mar 2019.
