Brief Summary  

Background: Axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA), is a persistent inflammatory condition affecting the axial skeleton. Cytokines like TNF, IL-17, IL-23 are implicated in pathogenesis of AxSpA, but studies assessing their role as biomarkers of disease have conflicting results. Dickkopf-1 (DKK-1) is an inhibitor of Wnt signalling, which is a crucial pathway affecting bone formation and its deregulation plays a role in Spondyloarthritis. There is conflicting data on levels of DKK-1 in Spondyloarthritis and correlation of its level with treatment with TNF inhibitors & radiographic progression in Axial Spondyloarthritis. ASAS-EULAR recommends Non Steroidal Anti Inflammatory Agents [ NSAIDs] as first line for treatment of AS & options for failure of NSAIDs include Tumor Necrosis Factor Inhibitors [ TNFi], IL-17 Inhibitors, JAK-Inhibitors, but there are no head to head trials comparing efficacy of these agents.

Objectives: ASAS 20 response at week 12 in the study population receiving Adalimumab & Tofacitinib.

Methods: In this 12-week open-label, prospective, parallel arm study; 184 patients fulfilling Modified New York Criteria , ASAS criteria for Axial Spondyloarthritis, will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive Adalimumab or Tofacitinib, in combination with background therapy. The ASAS 20 response, other disease activity indices, change in SPARCC Score of SI Joint form baseline and adverse event profile will be compared. The correlation of IL-17, DKK-1 levels with treatment response & radiographic progression will be analysed.

Novelty: First study comparing Adalimumab & Tofacitinib correlating the serum IL-17, DKK-1 levels with treatment response  & radiographic progression in Axial Spondyloarthritis.

Expected Outcomes: Tofacitinib is non inferior to Adalimumab in treatment of Axial Spondyloarthritis patients with no response to NSAIDs
