    What is ankylosing spondylitis?

    Ankylosing spondylitis (AS, also known as radiographically positive axial spondyloarthritis) is a type of axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA), and the other is radiologically negative axial spondyloarthritis (nr- axSp.


    Ankylosing spondylitis, as the name suggests, typically invades the spine, resulting in impaired spinal mobility and varying degrees of spinal deformity, resulting in abnormal postu.


    Ankylosing spondylitis affects not only the spine but also peripheral arthritis such as ankle, hip, knee, shoulder and sternoclavicular join.


    To sum up, it is not suitable for patients with ankylosing spondylitis to do strenuous exerci.


     

    Ankylosing spondylitis also has some extra-articular manifestations and some comorbidities , such as acute anterior uveitis, inflammatory bowel disease, psoriasis, cardiovascular disease, and lung diseas.


    Application of Biologics in ASBiologics are a very important drug in the treatment of ankylosing spondylit.


    1. Fast onset, can quickly relieve joint pain and swelling;

    2. Inhibition of bone destruction is better than traditional disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs;

    3. The drug is more targeted and can precisely block tumor necrosis factor, which can play a key role in the important link of pathogenes.


    Indications for Biologics in Ankylosing Spondylitis

    • If treatment with two or more NSAIDs for more than 4 weeks is ineffective or intolerable, switching to biologic therapy may be consider.


    • For patients with obvious hip inflammation, it is generally recommended to use biological agents as soon as possib.


    • Early use of biologics is also recommended for some patients with psoriasis, iritis, and inflammatory bowel disease with other complications/ comorbiditie.


    TNFi

    Binding of anti-TNF antibodies blocks the interaction of cytokines with cellular receptors, thereby preventing inflammation and destruction of articular cartilage and bo.


    The TNFi currently available for clinical treatment of AS mainly include infliximab (IFX), adalimumab (ADA), golimumab (GOL) and etanercept (Enbrel, ET.


    The usual doses of TNF inhibitors for AS and nr-axSpA are:

    • Etanercept - 50 mg/week subcutaneously, 50 mg once a week or 25 mg twice a week

    • Infliximab - 5 mg/kg IV infusion at weeks 0, 2, and 6, followed by a maintenance dose of 5 mg/kg every 6-8 weeks

    • Adalimumab - 40 mg subcutaneously every 2 weeks

    • Golimumab – 50 mg subcutaneously every 4 weeks

    • Pesellizumab - 400 mg, subcutaneously administered at weeks 0, 2, and 4, followed by 200 mg every 2 weeks or 400 mg every 4 weeks

    It should be noted that the following contraindications should be excluded before use of TNF inhibitors: active infection , tuberculosis, heart failure, malignancy, demyelinating disease, and allergi.

    Anti-IL-17 monoclonal antibody

    IL-17, one of the most active cytokines in AS, not only promotes bone destruction by complementing TNF-α, but also promotes bone formation at sites of inflammation or exposed to mechanical stre.


    Anti-IL-17 antibodies, secukinumab, or ixekizumab are recommended for patients with contraindications to TNF inhibito.

    Secukinumab was administered subcutaneously at 150 mg; the loading dose was 150 mg weekly for 4 weeks; thereafter, it was administered once every 4 wee.

    For AS patients who do not respond well to 150 mg per month, especially those who have not responded well to previous TNF inhibitors, increasing the dose to 300 mg every 4 weeks may be consider.

    secukinumab

    This monoclonal antibody is ineffective against Crohn's disease (IBD) and may even worsen I.

    Patients should be screened for latent tuberculosis before using secukinumab, and if positive, anti-tuberculosis treatment is required before using secukinum.

    However, compared with TNFi, there is no report on the reactivation of latent TB after the use of secukinumab, so the use of secukinumab is the biologic agent of choice for high-risk TB patients

    ixekizumab 

    Like secukinumab, ixekizumab is also an anti-IL-17A monoclonal antibody marketed in EU countries and the United States, and the US FDA has approved the drug for the treatment of active AS and nr-axS.

    AS patients were administered an initial subcutaneous dose of 160 mg, followed by 80 mg every 4 wee.

    In nr-axSpA patients, the first dose was 80 mg, followed by 80 mg every 4 wee.

    Can be used alone or in combination with conventional DMARDs such as S.

    Great works are no longer high and low

    The high cost of biological agents is a "luxury" that can only be used by many patients with good economic conditio.

    Before being included in medical insurance, there are statistics that patients need to spend 118,800 yuan a year (the patient's condition and weight will affect the dosage of medication)

    That's a lot of money for an average fami.

    Take Humira of adalimumab as an examp.

    The initial listing price in China was 7,600 yuan per bott.

    Before the medical insurance negotiation, the pharmaceutical factory lowered the price to 3,160 yuan per bottle, but the medical insurance finally negotiated to 1,290 yuan per bott.

    In Beijing, this drug is a Class B drug, and the reimbursement limit is 9
    One patient only needs 473 yuan, two per month, and the annual cost is only 11,452 yuan, which is affordable for most of these patien.
