Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of ustekinumab in adult participants with active nonradiographic axial spondyloarthritis (nr-AxSpA) measured by the reduction in signs and symptoms of nonradiographic axial spondyloarthritis (nr-AxSpA).

Conditions

  • Nonradiographic Axial Spondylitis, Ankylosing

Interventions

DRUG

Group 1: Placebo

Participants will receive placebo SC at Weeks 0, 4, 16, and 20. At Week 24, all participants (except those who early escaped) will crossover to receive ustekinumab 45 or 90 mg SC at Weeks 24 and 28 followed by every 12 weeks up to Week 52. At Week 16, participants in placebo group with \< 10% improvement from baseline in both total back pain and morning stiffness measures at Week 12 and 16 will enter early escape to receive ustekinumab 45 mg or 90 mg at Weeks 16, 20, and 28 followed by every 12 weeks up to Week 52. At Week 52, participants who achieved inactive disease by ASDAS (ESR) \<1.3 at both Week 40 and 52 will be re-randomized to receive placebo or ustekinumab every 12 weeks up to Week 88. At Week 52, participants who did not achieve inactive disease by ASDAS (ESR) \<1.3 at Week 40 or 52 will continue with ustekinumab every 12 weeks up to Week 88.

DRUG

Group 2: Ustekinumab 45 mg

Participants will receive ustekinumab 45 mg subcutaneously at Weeks 0 and 4, followed by every 12 weeks through Week 52. At Weeks 20 and 24, participants will receive placebo subcutaneously to maintain the blind. At Week 52, participants who achieved inactive disease by ASDAS (ESR) \<1.3 at both Week 40 and Week 52 will be re-randomized to receive either placebo or ustekinumab 45 mg every 12 weeks in a blinded fashion. At Week 52, participants who did not achieve inactive disease by ASDAS (ESR) \<1.3 at Week 40 or Week 52 will continue receiving ustekinumab 45 mg every 12 weeks through Week 88.

DRUG

Group 3: Ustekinumab 90 mg

Participants will receive ustekinumab 90 mg subcutaneously at Weeks 0 and 4, followed by every four weeks through Week 52. At Weeks 20 and 24, participants will receive placebo subcutaneously to maintain the blind. At Week 52, participants who achieved inactive disease by ASDAS (ESR) \<1.3 at both Week 40 and Week 52 will receive either placebo or ustekinumab 90 mg every 12 weeks in a blinded fashion. At Week 52, participants who did not achieve inactive disease by ASDAS (ESR) \<1.3 at Week 40 or Week 52 will continue receiving ustekinumab 90 mg every 12 weeks through Week 88.
