To analyze all clinical trials of ankylosing spondylitis (AS) up to December 31, 2022, so as to provide information reference for clinical studies related to AS drug treatment.
The website ClinicalTrials.gov was searched, then the items of the retrieved trials were described and analyzed.
There were 392 clinical trials of AS, with 59 countries/regions participating in the world, and the top three were the United States, China, and Germany. The primary objective of the trials was treatment (n=187), followed by prevention (n=9). Nearly two-thirds of the trials excluded children, and 97% of the trials were not gender restricted. Most studies were designed to be randomized, parallel-assigned, and unblinded. The largest number of interventional trials involved biological agents (n=201), followed by chemical agents (n=65), and a small number of trials (n=3) also investigated the therapeutic effects of stem cells.
Most of the clinical trials of AS registered on ClinicalTrials.gov are randomized, parallel-assigned, unblinded interventional trials based on therapeutic purposes. The participating countries and sponsors are mostly in the United States, and a majority of the trials are funded by pharmaceutical companies. At the same time, new biological agents targeting different targets have gradually become the mainstream, bringing new opportunities for the treatment of AS.
