This trial tests whether a single infusion of stem cells from a healthy donor's bone marrow can help reduce inflammation and pain in people with active ankylosing spondylitis. If you are young and have not been helped by standard treatments, this study might offer a new option.
This study looks at treatments for people with ankylosing spondylitis, a type of arthritis that affects the spine. It aims to find better ways to manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
This study tests a new treatment using umbilical cord stem cells given by injection to help reduce inflammation and improve symptoms of ankylosing spondylitis. It is for people who have not gotten enough relief from standard medications, including biologics.
This trial tests a new oral medication called LNK01001 for adults with active ankylosing spondylitis. It aims to reduce pain, stiffness, and inflammation when standard NSAID treatments no longer help.
This trial tests whether a single infusion of stem cells from donated umbilical cord tissue is safe and well-tolerated in people with active ankylosing spondylitis (AS). It may reduce inflammation and help control symptoms when standard treatments are not working well enough.
