a phase iii study evaluate the efficacy and safety of bat1406 and humira

Conditions: Ankylosing Spondylitis

Summary: a phase iii study evaluate the efficacy and safety of bat1406 and humira

this is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, active comparator, parallel two arm study to compare the efficacy, and to evaluate the safety, and immunogenicity of bat1406 to humira® in patients with active ankylosing spondylitis (as) to demonstrate clinical equivalence of bat1406 and humira®.

or subjects with tb who have not received standard treatment of at least 30 days. 7. active infections, including acute and chronic infections, and local infections (such as sepsis, abscesses, opportunistic infections, and invasive fungal infections). 8. subjects who have taken oral antibiotics within 2 weeks prior to the screening or have been given intramuscular/intravenous treatments for infection within 4 weeks prior to the screening, or have had severe infections within 6 months prior to the screening (investigators must determine the potential risks of subjects' enrollment based on the individual's clinical history). 9. subjects with a history of recurrent herpes zoster, history of listeria infection, reticuloendotheliosis, and other chronic or recurrent infections. 10. subjects who have undergone ostectomy/arthrectomy/synovectomy within 3 months prior to the screening, or planned to undergo joint or spinal surgery during the trial. 11. subjects with clinically significant laboratory abnormalities that suggested the presence of unknown disease and required further clinical examination. 12. subjects with an apparent history of drug abuse or alcohol dependence at present or in the past 2 years. 13. subjects with one or more of the following diseases: 1. subjects without self-care ability, those who require wheelchairs or those who are bedridden; 2. uncontrolled hypertension (defined as systolic pressure \>150 mmhg, or diastolic pressure \>100 mmhg during the screening period); 3. subjects with a history of congestive heart failure (new york heart association classification iii/iv); 4. subjects with a history of acute myocardial infarction or unstable angina within 12 months prior to the screening; 5. subjects with serious arrhythmias; 6. any subject with clinically significant respiratory diseases, including but not limited to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, interstitial lung disease, bronchiectasis, and pleural effusion; 7. subjects with a history of demyelinating diseases or with symptoms suggestive of such diseases, including but not limited to: multiple sclerosis and guillain-barré syndrome; 8. subjects who had not used a stable dose of medication to control diabetes within 4 weeks prior to the screening (glycated hemoglobin hba1c \>7% during screening); h.subjects with any arthritis or rheumatic diseases (in addition to as) that may affect the evaluation of the clinical study, including but not limited to: rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, psoriatic arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, gouty arthritis, and fibromyalgia; j.subjects with any neurological, psychotic, or other systemic diseases that may affect the clinical efficacy evaluation; k.subjects who have had a history of malignancy in the past 5 years (except for non-metastatic squamous cell carcinoma or basal cell carcinoma or cervical carcinoma in situ that have been cured); l.history of lymphoma or lymphoproliferative diseases. 14. subjects using the following concomitant drugs: 1. have used alkylating preparations within 12 months prior to the screening. 2. injected corticosteroids into the joint cavity, muscle or vein within 4 weeks prior to screening. 15. subjects who have participated in other clinical trials within 3 months prior to the enrollment or planned to participate in other clinical trials. 16. the investigator determined that the subject was not suitable for this trial.
