Phase II Study of Hemay005 in Patients With Active Ankylosing Spondylitis

Official Title

A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Phase II Clinical Study on the Efficacy and Safety of hemay005 Tablets in the Treatment of Active Ankylosing Spondylitis

Brief Summary

      This study is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase II clinical
      study. The study was divided into three stages, including screening period, treatment period
      and observation period. All subjects need to enter a 28 day (4-week) observation period after
      stopping hemay005 treatment.

      Screening period: all subjects shall have a screening period of no more than 28 days (4
      weeks) before the baseline visit (day 1 of randomization).

      Treatment period: after screening and meeting the inclusion requirements of the study, as
      subjects were randomly divided into hemay005 60 mg twice daily (bid) dose group (group A), 75
      mg bid dose group (group B) and placebo control group (Group C) according to the ratio of
      1:1:1. A total of 90 subjects were included in the three groups. They were titrated in the
      first 6 days. From the 7th day, the subjects received fixed dose administration twice a day
      for 112 consecutive days (16 weeks). Considering the difference in the proportion of men and
      women with as, and the slow onset and mild condition of women, randomization will minimize
      the imbalance between treatment groups according to gender stratification.

      Observation period: Subjects in the study (including those who withdrew from the treatment
      early for any reason) shall be observed for 4 weeks after the end of the last administration.

      Main purpose:

      The efficacy of hemay005 tablet in the treatment of active ankylosing spondylitis (as) was
      evaluated by placebo parallel control.

      Secondary purpose:

        -  To evaluate the safety of oral hemay005 tablets in patients with active as.

        -  To evaluate the population pharmacokinetics of hemay005 tablets in patients with active
           as.

                  screening is allowed; Subjects with negative T-SPOT during screening can be
                  included in this study. Subjects with positive T-SPOT in the screening period
                  need to undergo tuberculosis related clinical examination (tuberculosis related
                  clinical examination conducted within 12 weeks before randomization can be

                  tuberculosis related clinical examination confirms inactive tuberculosis, the
                  subject can be included in this study. If the research center is unable to carry
                  out T-SPOT test, it can also accept tuberculosis screening with QuantiFERON TB

                  weight loss surgery such as gastric bypass surgery, do not include operations
                  that simply partition the stomach into a separate chamber, such as gastric
