Can a biologic drug safely tame Back-Joint inflammation? a Real-World trial investigates
NCT ID NCT07737730
First seen Jul 30, 2026 · Last updated Jul 31, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tracks the safety of secukinumab, a biologic injection, in Indian adults with axial spondyloarthritis — a group of inflammatory conditions that cause back pain and stiffness. Over 16 weeks, researchers will monitor side effects and disease activity in about 60 participants treated in routine clinical practice. The goal is to see how well the drug is tolerated outside of controlled trial settings.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- secukinumab (a biologic drug given as a subcutaneous injection in a pre-filled pen)
- What this could lead to
- If the results are reassuring, this could support the safe use of secukinumab for managing axial spondyloarthritis in Indian patients.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study with no control group, so it cannot prove cause and effect. Side effects may still occur, and the 16-week follow-up is short.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion criteria: 1. Participant or his/her legally acceptable representative (LAR) who are willing to voluntarily provide signed informed consent for participation in the study. 2. Adult male or female participants (≥18 years) diagnosed with axSpA, AS, and nr-axSpA. Exclusion criteria: 1. Participants who meet any contraindication outlined in the current Prescribing Information (PI)/Package Insert for secukinumab at the time of screening. 2. Pregnant or lactating women. 3. Any surgical and/or medical condition, which in the opinion of the treating physician, may place the participant at higher risk of his/her participation in the study, or is likely to prevent the participant from complying with the requirements of the study or completing the study.
