Axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA): Understanding

Axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA): Overview

Axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) is a type of inflammatory arthritis that primarily affects the spine and sacroiliac joints, which connect the lower spine to the pelvis. It falls under the broader category of spondyloarthritis, which includes various inflammatory conditions affecting the joints and sometimes other tissues in the body.

Axial spondyloarthritis typically manifests as chronic back pain and stiffness, which often worsens with rest and improves with physical activity. The hallmark feature of axSpA is inflammation of the sacroiliac joints, leading to pain and stiffness in the lower back and buttocks. Over time, if left untreated, axSpA can cause structural damage to the spine, resulting in fusion of the vertebrae (ankylosis) and reduced mobility.

The exact cause of axSpA is not fully understood, but it is believed to involve a combination of genetic predisposition and environmental factors. The condition tends to affect young adults, with symptoms often starting in late adolescence or early adulthood. Men are more commonly affected than women.

Diagnosis of axSpA typically involves a combination of clinical evaluation, imaging studies such as X-rays and MRI scans, and blood tests to assess for markers of inflammation. Treatment aims to reduce pain and inflammation, improve mobility, and prevent long-term joint damage. This may include medications such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs), biologic therapies, and physical therapy.

Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial in managing axSpA and preventing complications. With appropriate treatment and lifestyle modifications, many individuals with axSpA are able to manage their symptoms and maintain a good quality of life. However, the course of the disease can vary widely among individuals, and ongoing monitoring and adjustments to treatment may be necessary to effectively manage symptoms and prevent progression.

Axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) Emerging Drugs Chapters

This segment of the Axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) report encloses its detailed analysis of various drugs in different stages of clinical development, including phase II, I, preclinical and Discovery. It also helps to understand clinical trial details, expressive pharmacological action, agreements and collaborations, and the latest news and press releases.

Axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) Emerging Drugs

• Filgotinib: Galapagos NV

Filgotinib is an oral, once-daily JAK1 preferential inhibitor currently being studied for the treatment of axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA), which includes both radiographic (r-axSpA, also known as ankylosing spondylitis) and non-radiographic forms (nr-axSpA). In the Phase II TORTUGA trial, filgotinib 200 mg daily led to significant improvements in disease activity (measured by the Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Score, ASDAS) and was well-tolerated in patients with active r-axSpA who had not responded to conventional treatments. The drug is currently in Phase III trial in axial spondyloarthritis (AxSpA).

• SCT650C: Sinocelltech

SCT650C is a novel humanized monoclonal antibody against human IL-17A developed by Sinocelltech. Interleukin-17A (IL-17A) is a new potential therapeutic target which plays important role in pathogenesis of several autoimmune disorders. Currently, the drug is being evaluated in the Phase II stage of its develoment for treatment of ankylosing spondylitis.
