Signed and dated written informed consent in accordance with ICH-GCP and local legislation prior to admission to the trial. 4. Diagnosis of AS according to modified New York criteria (1984). 5. Documented disease duration = 3 months at screening visit. 6. Active disease at screening, defined as: a. BASDAI score (0-10) = 4, AND b. Spinal pain level assessed by the 2nd BASDAI question (0-10) = 4 7. Have either a. an inadequate response for axial symptoms to at least 30 days of optimal daily doses of at least two NSAIDs, OR b. an intolerance to NSAIDs, according to judgement of the investigator. 8. Women of child-bearing potential must be ready and able to use highly effective methods of birth control per ICH M3 (R2) that result in a low failure rate of less than 1% per year when used consistently and correctly.
