E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To assess the efect of IL-17 blockade on:
- the global synovial histology and inflammatory infiltration
- the number and type of IL-17 producing cells in SpA synovitis
- the productuion of inflammatory mediators (including other IL-17 related cytokines and TNF) by PBMC and total tissue biopsies (ex vivo culture system)
- The synovial stromal cell signature
- The pan-genomic synovial gene expression profile\
|
Onderzoeken wat het effect is van anti-IL17 therapie op:
- de globale synoviale histologie en het inflammatoire infiltraat
- het aantal en het type anti-IL17producerende cellen in SpA synovitis
- de productie van inflammatoire mediatoren (zoals andere IL-17 gerelateerde cytokines en TNF) door PBMC's en de weefsel biopten (in een ex-vivo culture-system)
- de synoviale stromale cell kenmerken
- het pan-genomic synoviale gen-expresssie profiel

E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
Secondary:
To compare wich molecular disease pathways are affected by IL-17 blockade and not by TNF blockade and thereby identify molecular biomarkers which may help to determine which patients may benefit form this treament in comparison with anti-TNF treatment.
To assess wether AIN457 sileces vessel wall inflammation (by means of 18F-FDG PET/CT of the carotic arteries and aorta. |
Secundair:
Vergelijken welke moleclaire ziekte-pathways beinvloed zijn door IL-17 blokkade en niet door TNF blokkade, en hiermee het identificeren van biomarkers die helpen de bepalen welke patienten voordeel zullen hebben van de therapie met anti IL17 in vergelijking met anti-TNF.
Het onderzoeken of de AIN457 (secukinumab) de vaatwand inflammatie beinvloed (door middel van een 18F-FDG PET/CT van de carotiden en de aorta. |
