What is being measured

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

  1. Disease activity,

    BASDAI (Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index), minimum value 0, maximum value 10, higher scores mean a worse outcome

    Measured: between November 2016 and January 2017

  2. Disease activity,

    Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Score (ASDAS). It is calculated by adding CRP (ASDAS-CRP) or ESR (ASDAS-ESR). there is no spesific minimal and maximum value because it depends on CRP or ESR value. Higher scores mean a worse outcome

    Measured: between November 2016 and January 2017

  3. functionality

    Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functionality Index (BASFI). Minimal values 0, maximum value 100. Higher scores mean a worse outcome

    Measured: between November 2016 and January 2017

  4. to measure quality of life

    Short Form - 12 (SF-12). minimum value 0 maximum value 100. higher scores mean a worse outcome

    Measured: between November 2016 and January 2017

  5. to measure quality of life

    Ankylosing Spondylitis Quality of Life (ASQoL). minimum value 0 maximum value 18. Higher scores mean a worse outcome

    Measured: between November 2016 and January 2017

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Spondyloarthritis and Enthesitis, run by Prof. Dr. Cemil Tascıoglu Education and Research Hospital Organization.

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 1 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 1 Jul 2021. 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?

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?

Disease activity, (time frame: between November 2016 and January 2017). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. 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 1 Jul 2021.
