E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
Efficacy of ixekizumab (LY2439821) compared to placebo in participants with active ankylosing spondylitis based on ASAS20 at 16 Weeks |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
Efficacy of either ixekizumab compared to placebo in patients with active AS based on the following measures at Week 16:
-Proportion of biologic naïve patients who achieve an ASAS40 response.
-peripheral tender or swollen joint counts
-Change from baseline in patient-reported quality of life and other outcomes assessments
-Change from baseline in non-arthritic aisease assessments
-spinal mobility
Efficacy of either ixekizumab compared to placebo in patients with active AS based on the modified Stoke Ankylosing Spondylitis Spinal Score (mSASSS) change from baseline at Week 108.

Diagnosis of moderate to severe AS with prior documented radiologic evidence (X-ray) fulfilling the Modified New York criteria for AS (1984)
Have active AS defined as Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI) ≥4 and the spinal pain (back pain) score ≥4 on a numeric rating scale (NRS)
Participants should have been on nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) with an inadequate response
Participants who are regularly taking NSAIDs or cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitors as part of their AS therapy are required to be on a stable dose
Participants who have been on a tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF) inhibitor (not more than one) must have experienced an inadequate response
Total duration of prior therapy (NSAIDs and/or adequate physical therapy) should be at least 12 weeks
Men must agree to use a reliable method of birth control or remain abstinent during the study
Women must agree to use reliable birth control or remain abstinent during the study and for at least 12 weeks after stopping treatment |

Have participated in any study with interleukin 17 (IL-17) antagonists, including ixekizumab
Serious disorder or illness other than ankylosing spondylitis
Serious infection within the last 3 months
Breastfeeding or nursing (lactating) women |
