Objectives: The aims of this study were to assess the efficacy of infliximab (IFX) combined with methotrexate (MTX) versus IFX alone in the treatment of ankylosing spondylitis (AS).
Methods: The study was a 30weeks open label and prospective study of parallel groups in 19 patients with active AS. These patients had shown incomplete therapeutic response to standard therapy (full dose of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs: NSAIDs) and disease modifying antirheumatic drugs: DMARDs (MTX or sulfasalazine: SLZ) for a period of at least 12 weeks and were treated with IFX (5mg/kg).
