Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this observational (a study that follows participants forward in time) study is to compare the functional improvement of hip joint using Harris hip score between 2 treatment groups (infliximab and conventional therapy) at Week 30 in ankylosing spondylitis (an autoimmune disease causing chronic inflammation at tendon ends and ligament attachment points) participants with hip involvement.
Detailed Description
This is a multi-center (when more than 1 hospital or medical school team work on a medical research study), observational study to compare the effectiveness of infliximab with conventional therapies in ankylosing spondylitis participants with hip joint involvement. The study will be conducted in 3 parts: a 14-day screening, a 30-week first follow-up (Follow-up 1), and an additional 22-week follow-up (Follow-up 2) up to Week 52. Participants will be assigned to two groups based on the current treatments they are receiving: cohort 1 participants receiving infliximab with or without combination of disease modifying drugs (DMARDs-such as Sulfasalazine, Methotrexate and Thalidomide) and/or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and in cohort 2 who are receiving DMARDs and/or NSAIDs for treatment of pain will be observed. Participants will primarily be assessed for change in harris hip score. Participants' safety will be monitored throughout the study.

Intervention: Infliximab
Cohort 1: Infliximab and/or NSAIDs and DMRADs
Participants receiving intravenous infusion of infliximab with or without non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs: aspirin, ibuprofen and naproxen) and Disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMRADs: methotrexate (MTX), sulfasalazine, and thalidomide) will be observed.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Change From Baseline in Harris Hip Score at Week 30
Time Frame: Baseline and Week 30
Harris hip score, a physician-assessed scoring method consisting of 10 items: pain, limp, support, distance walked, sitting, enter public transportation, stairs, put on shoes and socks, absence of deformity and range of motion. The scoring system covers domains like pain, function, absence of deformity and range of motion. The total Harris hip score has a maximum of 100 points with a higher score indicating a better hip function: Excellent (90-100), Good (80-89), Fair (70-79) and Poor (\<70).
Secondary Outcomes
- Change From Baseline in Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activities Index (BASDAI) Score at Week 30 and 52(Baseline, Week 30 and 52)
- Change From Baseline in Harris Hip Score at Week 14 and 52(Baseline, Week 14 and 52)
- Change From Baseline in Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Score (ASDAS) at Week 30 and 52(Baseline, Week 30 and 52)
- Change From Baseline in Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Metrology Index (BASMI) Score at Week 30 and 52(Baseline, Week 30 and 52)
- Change From Baseline in Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index (BASFI) Score at Week 30 and 52(Baseline, Week 30 and 52)
- Assessment of Improvement in Hip Joint(Baseline, Week 30 and 52)
