Study Overview

Brief Summary

This is a two part study. During period one there will be a comparison of Etanercept (ETN) against a placebo with both arms maintaining the background anti inflammatory drug prescribed by their Physician. The hypothesis is that Etanercept will be superior to the placebo arm as determined by the proportion of subjects achieving Assessments in Ankylosing Spondylitis (ASAS)40 improvement at 12 weeks. This will be followed by 92 weeks extension where everyone in the trial receives Etanercept (ETN) and a background non steroidal anti inflammatory drug(NSAID).

Active Comparator

In Period 1 : Subjects will receive via a prefilled syringe an active dose equivalent to 1.0ml of Etanercept solution once weekly SC once weekly. Additionally they will continue to take the background non steroidal anti inflammatory drug(NSAID) in the tolerated dose agreed upon by the attending Physician.

Intervention: etanercept (Biological)

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Percentage of Participants Achieving Ankylosing Spondylitis (ASAS) 40 Response at Week 12

Time Frame: Week 12

ASAS measures symptomatic improvement in Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) in 4 domains: participant global assessment of disease activity, pain, function, inflammation. ASAS 40 = 40% improvement from baseline and an absolute change ≥ 20 units on a 0-100 scale (0 = no disease activity, 100 = high disease activity) for ≥ 3 domains, and no worsening in remaining domain.
