A Study of Comparing Overall Improvement of Patients With Spondyloarthritis Treated With Jitongning Tablets and Placebo

Phase 3
Recruiting
Conditions
Ankylosing Spondylitis
Interventions
Drug: a simulated agent of Jitongning tablets
Registration Number
NCT06000956
Lead Sponsor
Tasly Pharmaceutical Group Co., Ltd
Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is evaluating the efficacy and safety of Jitongning tablets in participant population. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Based on the proportion of participants who achieved improvement in ASAS20, evaluate whether the efficacy of Jitongning tablets is superior to placebo in active ax-SpA adult participants.

* Evaluate the efficacy of Jitongning tablets in improving other key functions and symptom outcomes.

* Evaluating the safety of Jitongning tablets in adult ax-SpA participants. Participants will

1. take orally Jitongning tablets or a simulated agent of Jitongning tablets.

2. Receive examinations and follow-up visits.

  3. Conforming to the traditional Chinese medicine syndrome differentiation standards for kidney yang deficiency and blood stasis obstruction syndrome;
  4. CT examination of sacroiliac arthritis grades I (A) to II (B) (both included);
  5. Human leukocyte antigen B27 (HLA-B27) is positive;
  6. Elevated C-reactive protein (CRP)/hypersensitive C-reactive protein (hsCRP) and/or erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR);
  7. Voluntarily participate in this clinical trial and sign an informed consent form.

  3. Received spinal or joint surgery treatment within 8 weeks prior to enrollment;
  4. Within 12 weeks prior to enrollment, biological agents with therapeutic effects on spinal arthritis have been used;
  5. Within 6 months prior to enrollment, corticosteroid injections were received into the joint cavity or spine/paravertebral area;
  6. CT indicates disappearance of sacroiliac joint space or complete spinal rigidity;
  7. Subjects diagnosed with other rheumatic immune system diseases or immune deficiency syndrome, such as active ulcerative colitis, psoriasis, uveitis, etc;
  8. Those who have fertility requirements within six months;
  9. Pregnant or lactating women;

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
ASAS208 weeks

Proportion of subjects who achieved improvement in ASAS20(Assessment of Spondylarthritis International Society) at week 8 of treatment.

The ASAS Improvement Criteria contains the following 4 assessment domains:

1. Physical function, by BASFI (Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index);

2. Spinal pain, by Spinal Pain Scale;

3. Overall assessment of the condition in the past week, by PGA (Patient Global Assessment)

4. Inflammatory activity, by the last 2 items of BASDAI (Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index) were averaged.

ASAS 20% response criteria (ASAS 20): 1. 3 of the above 4 items have at least ≥20% improvement and improved ≥ 10 mm in 0-100mm score; 2. Moreover, there was no deterioration in 1 item that did not achieve a 20% improvement from baseline.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
PGA8 weeks

Change from baseline in score of PGA(Patient Global Assessment) at week 8 of treatment.The highest score on the scale is 100mm and the lowest is 0mm, and the higher the score, the more severe the condition.

BASDAI8 weeks

Change from baseline in score of BASDAI(Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index) at week 8 of treatment.The highest score on the scale is 100mm and the lowest is 0mm, and the higher the score, the more severe the condition.

Traditional Chinese medical Syndrome Points8 weeks

Change from baseline in score of traditional Chinese medical Syndrome at week 8 of treatment.The scale has a maximum score of 36 points and a minimum score of 0 points, with lower scores indicating milder TCM symptoms.
