| NCT03906136 | AScalate: Treat-to-target in Axial Spondyloarthritis | PHASE3 | COMPLETED | 304 | — | — | Jun 4, 2019 | Sep 22, 2022 | Apr 29, 2025 | 47 | France, Germany |
Assessment of SpondyloArthritis International Society criteria (ASAS) consists of 4 domains measured on visual analog scales (VAS): 1. Patient's global assessment; 2. Patient's assessment of back pain; 3. Function represented by Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index (BASFI) average of 10 questions; 4. Inflammation represented by mean duration and severity of morning stiffness, on the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI). ASAS40 response is defined as an improvement of ≥40% and ≥2 units on a scale of 0 - 10 in at least three of the four ASAS domains and no worsening at all in the remaining domain. A score of 0 indicates less severity; a score of 10 indicates more severity. Percentage was calculated from a logistic regression model: logit(proportion) = treatment + baseline quick C-reactive protein (CRP) + baseline weight.

| TREAT-TO-TARGET (T2T) | EXPERIMENTAL | Patients received secukinumab 150 mg subcutaneous (s.c.) weekly until Week 4 (Baseline, Week 1, Week 2, Week 3, Week 4)) and then at Week 8. At Week 12, if ASDAS clinically important improvement was achieved and maintained, patients received treatment up to Week 32 if they maintained the response. If ASDAS clinically important improvement was not achieved, patients received an escalated dose of secukinumab 300 mg s.c. every 4 weeks until Week 20. At Week 24, patients who were receiving secukinumab 300 mg, and achieved ASDAS clinically important improvement, continued treatment up to Week 32. If patients did not achieve ASDAS clinically important improvement, they were switched to adalimumab biosimilar (Hyrimoz®) 40 mg s.c. every 2 weeks until Week 34. Each patient was treated for a maximum of 36 weeks (last dose of secukinumab at Week 32, last dose of adalimumab biosimilar (Hyrimoz®) at Week 34). |
| Standard-of-care (SOC) | ACTIVE_COMPARATOR | Patients received SOC treatment according to local practice standards by their treating rheumatologist following latest treatment recommendations with NSAIDs as the first-choice drug treatment and disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) for patients with active disease despite the use (or intolerance/contraindication) of NSAIDs. |
