Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Number of Patients Achieving Assessment in Ankylosing Spondylitis (ASAS 20) [ Time Frame: 16 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    ASAS measures symptomatic improvement in Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) participants ASAS = 4 domains: participant global assessment of disease activity, pain, function, inflammation. ASAS 20 = 20% improvement from baseline and an improvement ≥ 10 units on a 0-100 scale (0=no disease activity; 100=high disease activity) for ≥ 3 domains, and no worsening in remaining domain.


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Ankylosing Spondylitis Quality of Life (ASQoL) Total Score Change From Baseline [ Time Frame: Baseline and 16 Weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    ASQoL is a questionnaire to assess disease specific quality of life. It consists of 18 statements that are relevant to the physical and mental conditions for a patient with Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS). Each statement is answered by the patients as a "Yes" (scored as 1) or "No" (scored as 0). All item scores are summed to give a total score. Scores can range from 0 (good QoL) to 18 (poor QoL).


Enrollment: 566
Study Start Date: December 2005
Study Completion Date: February 2008
Primary Completion Date: February 2008 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Arms Assigned Interventions
Experimental: A Drug: etanercept
50 mg
Active Comparator: B Drug: sulphasalazine (SSZ)
