Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults aged 18 or older with active ankylosing spondylitis by the modified New York criteria who had inadequate response or intolerance to NSAIDs and who agree to required contraception are the intended participants.
✕Probably not a fit
People with uncontrolled other inflammatory diseases, active hepatitis B, hepatitis C, or HIV, clinically significant abnormal lab results, a history of cancer, or known immunosuppression are excluded and unlikely to receive benefit from participation.

What this trial studies
This Phase 3, placebo-controlled trial compares the efficacy and safety of 608 to placebo in adults with active ankylosing spondylitis who meet the 1984 modified New York criteria and have had an inadequate response or intolerance to NSAIDs. The primary efficacy endpoint is evaluated at Week 16, and safety and tolerability are followed through Week 60. Participants receive either 608 at the assigned dose or placebo and undergo scheduled clinical assessments, laboratory testing, and adverse event monitoring. The trial is sponsored by Sunshine Guojian Pharmaceutical and is being conducted at least at a site in Beijing, China.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, 608 could provide an additional treatment option that reduces symptoms and improves function for adults with active ankylosing spondylitis.
How similar studies have gone: Other biologic and targeted therapies have shown benefit in ankylosing spondylitis, but the specific safety and efficacy of 608 are being tested here in a Phase 3 trial.
