Results with ENBREL in
Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS)
In 2003, ENBREL became the first biologic approved as a treatment option for ankylosing spondylitis (AS).
Proven results
In medical studies, ENBREL has been shown to significantly reduce the symptoms
of ankylosing spondylitis. Many AS patients using ENBREL experienced a greater reduction in back pain (including nighttime pain), inflammation, and morning stiffness; improved spinal mobility; and an improvement in the ability to do everyday tasks. ENBREL was shown to be effective in about 3 out of 5 adults. Clinical responses were seen at 2 weeks in 46% of patients, with 59% of patients receiving benefit within 8 weeks.
Your results may vary. Because ENBREL works on the immune system, it can lower the ability of your immune system to fight infections and may raise other safety concerns.
