Ankylosing Spondylitis: Understanding

Ankylosing Spondylitis: Overview

Ankylosing Spondylitis (Bekhterev's Disease) is a type of arthritis that causes inflammation in the joints and ligaments of the spine. It may also affect peripheral joints like the knees, ankles, and hips. Normally, the joints and ligaments in the spine help us move and bend. If you have ankylosing spondylitis, the inflammation in the joints and tissues of the spine can cause stiffness. In severe cases, this may cause the vertebrae (bones in the spine) to fuse (grow together). When the vertebrae fuse, it can lead to a rigid and inflexible spine. Many people with ankylosing spondylitis have mild episodes of back pain and stiffness that come and go. However, others have severe, ongoing pain with loss of flexibility in the spine. In addition, other symptoms may develop depending on which other areas of the body are affected by the disease. Some people with ankylosing spondylitis develop eye disease (uveitis), skin disease (psoriasis), or gut disease (inflammatory bowel disease). There is no cure for ankylosing spondylitis but there are many treatment options to help control symptoms. Recommended therapies may include exercise, physical and/or occupational therapy to improve mobility and posture, and medications to help manage pain, control inflammation, improve posture and body position, and slow the progression of the disease. The most common symptom is lower back and/or hip pain and stiffness, which may worsen during periods of rest or inactivity, and improve with movement and exercise. Symptoms may vary from person to person, with some experiencing mild episodes of pain that come and go, while others have chronic, severe pain. The disease can affect other areas of the body, leading to symptoms such as pain, stiffness, and inflammation in other joints, difficulty taking deep breaths, vision changes and eye pain, fatigue, loss of appetite and weight loss, skin rashes, and abdominal pain and loose bowel movements.

Imaging tests, such as X-rays and MRI scans, can reveal changes in joints and bones, but visible signs of ankylosing spondylitis may not be evident early in the disease. While blood tests can check for markers of inflammation and the HLA-B27 gene, there are no specific lab tests to identify ankylosing spondylitis, and many people who have the gene do not have the disease, while others may have the disease without the gene.

The treatment for ankylosing spondylitis typically involves a combination of approaches to alleviate symptoms, maintain flexibility, posture, and strength, and slow disease progression. This often includes the use of medications such as NSAIDs and biologics to manage pain and inflammation. Physiotherapy and regular exercise play a crucial role in reducing stiffness, preserving spinal mobility, and enhancing posture. In severe cases, surgery may be necessary for joint replacement or corrective procedures to address significant spinal deformities. Lifestyle modifications like maintaining a healthy weight, practicing good posture, using assistive devices when needed, staying active, and monitoring symptoms are also important aspects of managing the condition effectively. Collaborating closely with healthcare providers to create a personalized treatment plan is key to effectively managing ankylosing spondylitis.

Ankylosing Spondylitis Emerging Drugs Chapters

This segment of the Ankylosing Spondylitis report encloses its detailed analysis of various drugs in different stages of clinical development, including Phase III, II, I, preclinical and Discovery. It also helps to understand clinical trial details, expressive pharmacological action, agreements and collaborations, and the latest news and press releases.

Ankylosing Spondylitis Emerging Drugs

AK111: Akeso

AK111 is a novel drug targeting IL-17A of autoimmune treatment diseases independently developed by the Company. AK111 is intended to be used for the treatment of psoriasis, ankylosing spondylitis and axial spondylitis. Through a combination of competitive blockers, namely IL-17A and IL-17RA, and blocking the biological activities of IL-17, AK111 has reached the efficacy in immune-related diseases in clinical therapies. Currently, the drug is in Phase III stage of its clinical trial for the treatment of ankylosing spondylitis.

Jaktinib: Suzhou Zelgen Biopharmaceuticals

Jaktinib hydrochloride, developed by Suzhou Zelgen Biopharmaceuticals, is a novel Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor. It acts by targeting tyrosine protein kinases JAK1, JAK2, and JAK3, thereby inhibiting the JAK signaling pathway. This mechanism of action (moA) is crucial in treating various diseases, including myelofibrosis, graft versus host disease, rheumatoid arthritis, plaque psoriasis, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, autoimmune disorders, novel coronavirus pneumonia (COVID-19), and Ankylosing Spondylitis (Bekhterev's Disease). Currently, the drug is in Phase III stage of its clinical trial for the treatment of ankylosing spondylitis.

VC005: Jiangsu Vcare Pharmatech

VC005 is a novel, highly efficient, and selective JAK1 inhibitor, as well as a second-generation inhibitor, independently developed by Jiangsu Vcare. By selectively inhibiting JAK1 kinase, decreasing the inflammatory response, and reducing the activation of immune cells, VC005 displays high potential for the treatment of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. The in vitro kinase test results indicated that VC005 exhibited a lower inhibitory activity against JAK2 kinase compared to an approved dominant JAK inhibitor, Upadacitinib, thus it is expected to alleviate many safety concerns associated with excessive JAK2 kinase inhibition. Currently, the drug is in Phase II stage of its clinical trial for the treatment of ankylosing spondylitis.
