Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy by (ASAS20) (Assessment in Ankylosing Spondylitis Working Group responses criteria) of SAR153191 in patients with AS (Ankylosing Spondylitis);Secondary Objective: The secondary objectives are: assessment of higher level of response ASAS40 partial remission disease activity range of motion changes in MRI score the safety and tolerability of SAR153191 in patients with AS to document PK profile of SAR153191 in patients with AS;Primary end point(s): The primary efficacy endpoint will be the percentage of patients who achieve the assessment in AS International Working Group Criteria for improvement (ASAS20) at Week 12
