First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Apr 26, 2026 · Updated 25 times

Summary

This study looks at whether people with a type of spinal arthritis (non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis) who are in remission need to keep taking the drug secukinumab to stay well. About 240 adults will either continue secukinumab or switch to a placebo to see who stays flare-free for up to 120 weeks. The goal is to find out if long-term treatment is necessary to control the disease.
