A randomized, partially-blinded, active-controlled multicenter study of secukinumab to demonstrate reduction of radiographic progression versus GP2017 (adalimumab biosimilar) at 104 weeks and to assess the long term safety, tolerability and efficacy up to 2 years in patients with active ankylosing spondylitis - SURPASS

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To demonstrate the proportion of subjects on secukinumab (150 mg s.c. or 300 mg s.c.) with no radiographic progression as measured by mSASSS at Week 104 is superior to subjects on GP2017 (adalimumab biosimilar 40 mg s.c.). ;Secondary Objective: To demonstrate the change from baseline in mSASSS in subjects on AIN457 (150mg sc or 300mg sc) is superior to GP2017 at W104 -To demonstrate the proportion of subjects with a syndesmophyte at baseline with no new syndesmophytes at W104 on AIN457 (150mg sc or 300mg sc) is superior to GP2017 -To evaluate the Berlin SI joint edema score in subjects on AIN457 (150mg sc or 300mg sc) at W104 versus GP2017 (in a subset of subjects at selected sites) -To evaluate the ASspiMRI-a Berlin modification score in subjects on AIN457 (150mg sc or 300mg sc) at W104 versus GP2017 (in a subset of subjects at selected sites) -To evaluate ASAS20 response, ASAS40 response, ASAS partial remission and ASDAS inactive disease in subjects on AIN457 150mg sc compared to AIN457 300mg sc at W104 -Overall safety and tolerability of AIN457;Primary end point(s): No radiographic progression as measured by modified Stoke Ankylosing Spondylitis Spine Score (mSASSS) for 150 mg sc or 300 mg sc secukinumab versus GP2017);Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 104 weeks

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): - Change from baseline in modified Stoke Ankylosing Spondylitis Spine Score (mSASSS). - No new syndesmophyte as measured by mSASSS. - Assessment of SpondyloArthritis International Society 20 (ASAS20). - ASAS 40. - ASAS partial remission. - Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Score (ASDAS) inactive disease. - Berlin sacroiliac (SI) joint edema score. - Ankylosing Spondylitis Spine Magnetic Resonance Imaging - activity (ASspiMRI-a) Berlin modification score.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 104 weeks
