A Study to Evaluate the Long-term Safety, Tolerability and Efficacy of Bimekizumab in Subjects With Active Axial Spondyloarthritis Including Ankylosing Spondylitis and Nonradiographic Axial Spondyloarthritis
This study is checking a medicine named Bimekizumab over a long period. It's for people who have a condition called axial spondyloarthritis, which includes Ankylosing Spondylitis. This condition causes pain and stiffness, mainly in the spine. Researchers want to see if Bimekizumab is safe when taken for a long time and how well it continues to help with symptoms. This particular study is an extension, meaning it's for individuals who have already participated in earlier studies involving Bimekizumab for the same conditions. By continuing to follow these patients, doctors hope to get a better understanding of the medicine's effects over a longer period.
Överblick
Vad handlar denna studie om?
This study is about a medicine called Bimekizumab. It's looking at its effects over a long time in people who have a type of arthritis that mainly affects the spine, called axial spondyloarthritis. This includes two main forms: Ankylosing Spondylitis and non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis. Both can cause pain, stiffness, and lead to damage in the spine, making daily activities difficult.
The main goal of this research is to see if Bimekizumab is safe and well-tolerated when taken for a long time. It also aims to understand how effective it is in continuing to help people manage their symptoms and live better lives. By collecting long-term information, doctors can learn more about how this medicine works over an extended period. This is important for understanding its full potential in treating these conditions.
This specific study is a continuation for people who have already taken part in previous Bimekizumab studies for axial spondyloarthritis. It's a chance for those participants to keep receiving the medication and for researchers to gather more valuable information. Your participation helps medical science understand better ways to treat these conditions for many others in the future.

Vad innebär deltagande?
Since this is an extension study, if you participated in the previous studies (AS0010 or AS0011), you would continue to receive Bimekizumab. You'd have regular check-ups with the study team. These visits would likely involve answering questions about your health, filling out questionnaires, and possibly having blood tests or other assessments to check how the medicine is affecting you. The exact number and timing of visits would be explained by the study team. You'd need to take the study medicine as instructed. The total duration of your participation would be discussed upon entry into the study.
