Abstract/Text
Non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (nr-axSpA) is a subgroup of axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) without fulfilling the modified New York criteria of sacroiliac joint radiographs for ankylosing spondylitis (AS). AS and nr-axSpA share various demographic and clinical features and disease burden, although sex and objective inflammatory findings such as elevated serum C-reactive protein level are slightly different between AS and nr-axSpA. Recently, diagnostic guidance for nr-axSpA in Japan was proposed for epidemiological studies of a population with a low prevalence of HLA-B27 positivity and the use of molecular targeted agents suitable for the unique medical care system in Japan. A biological agent targeting interleukin-17 was approved for nr-axSpA by the Pharmaceutical and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA) in August 2020. Some other biological agents will be also available for Japanese patients with nr-axSpA in the near future.
