    Axial Spondyloarthritis Understanding
    Axial Spondyloarthritis: Overview
    Axial Spondyloarthritis (Axial SpA) is a chronic, immune-mediated inflammatory condition characterised by inflammation of the sacroiliac joints (sacroiliitis), inflammation of the spine or both resulting in chronic back pain, fatigue and significantly reduced function and quality of life. It is an umbrella term for the types of inflammatory arthritis that primarily affect the spine and the sacroiliac (SI) joints that connect the lower spine to the pelvis. Axial SpA may be categorized as either radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (r-axSpA) (also known as Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) and non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (nr-axSpA) depending on the presence of radiographic sacroiliitis.
    Symptoms
    The primary symptom of Axial Spondyloarthritis (Axial SpA) is back pain that occurs because of chronic inflammation in the joints of spine. Other symptoms of Axial Spondyloarthritis include:
    • nocturnal waking caused by pain
    • morning stiffness
    • fatigue and functional disability
    • Inflammation of the eye (uveitis)
    • Psoriasis
    • Inflammatory bowel disease
    • Enthesitis


Diagnosis
Axial SpA is often mis-diagnosed or not diagnosed for several years after a patient first experiences symptoms. Early diagnosis is essential for optimal patient care. A diagnosis of Axial Spondyloarthritis is done thorough a combination of patient history, physical examination, and blood tests (both for HLA-B27 and for markers of inflammation, such as C-reactive protein), and imaging tests, such as X-ray and MRI.
Treatment
Treatment for Axial Spondyloarthritis includes, NSAIDs, Biologics that are either tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitor or an anti-IL-17 agent, Sulfasalazine, Analgesics, and Glucocorticoids (corticosteroids). Some of the approved biologics and their biosimilars are adalimumab (Humira), certolizumab pegol (Cimzia), etanercept (Enbrel), golimumab (Simponi), infliximab (Remicade) and secukinumab (Cosentyx). Physiotherapy as a treatment for axial SpA aims to maintain or improve function.
Axial Spondyloarthritis Emerging Drugs Chapters
This segment of the Axial Spondyloarthritis report encloses its detailed analysis of various drugs in different stages of clinical development, including phase III, 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 Emerging Drugs


  • • Namilumab: Izana Bioscience Ltd.
    Namilumab is a human monoclonal antibody targeting granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF). It is under Phase 2 development for the treatment of Axial Spondyloarthritis. Takeda has granted Izana a licence to develop, manufacture and commercialise Namilumab worldwide and for any indication, further to its right to sublicense under its licence agreement with Amgen.
    • Bimekizumab: UCB
    Bimekizumab is an investigational humanized monoclonal IgG1 antibody that selectively inhibits both IL-17A and IL-17F, two key cytokines driving inflammatory processes. Selective inhibition of IL-17F in addition to IL-17A suppresses inflammation to a greater extent. Bimekizumab is under Phase 3 development for the treatment of Axial Spondyloarthritis.
