A Clinical Study of Tulisokibart (MK-7240) to Treat Radiographic Axial Spondyloarthritis (MK-7240-013)
Researchers are looking for new ways to treat radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (r-axSpA). R-axSpA is a type of arthritis that causes pain, stiffness, and inflammation (swelling) in the spine and joints in the pelvis (hip bone). Radiographic means the damage it causes can be seen on X-rays. This study will help find out if a study medicine called tulisokibart can treat symptoms of r-axSpA. Res...
