NCT ID NCT05094128

First seen Feb 02, 2026 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 18 times

Summary

This study looks at how well the drug upadacitinib works in real-world settings for people with axial spondyloarthritis, a type of arthritis that mainly affects the spine and causes chronic back pain. About 352 adults in Germany will take the pill as their doctor prescribes and be followed for 52 weeks. The goal is to see if the drug helps control disease activity and pain, and improves quality of life.
