About this trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to find out if the study drug will work as a new therapy for axSpA patients. This study is placebo-controlled, and evaluates if study drug can treat symptoms of axSpA, including global disease activity, pain, function and inflammation.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Percentage of participants achieving ASAS40.
ASAS40 response is defined at least a 40% improvement in at least three of the four main ASAS domains, with no worsening in the remaining domain: Patient Global Assessment of Disease Activity (Q3 of ASDAS-CRP), Pain Assessment (BASDAI Q2), physical function (Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index \[BASFI\]), and Inflammation (represented by the mean of the two morning stiffness BASDAI questions Q5 and Q6).
Secondary outcomes
Patient Global Assessment of Disease Activity (PGADA) using Q3 of ASDAS-CRP
Spinal pain [Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) using Question 2 of Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI)]
Physical function using Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index (BASFI)
Inflammation, defined as the mean of Questions 5 and 6 of the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI)
