To explore the efficacy and safety of Iguratimod (IGU) intervention in the treatment of Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS).
We used computer to search literature databases, collected randomized controlled trials (RCTs) related to IGU treatment of AS, and searched the relevant literature in each database until Sep. 2022. Two researchers independently carried out literature screening, data extraction, and evaluation and analysis of the risk of bias in the included studies, and then used Rev Man5.3 software for meta-analysis. The protocol is CRD42020220798.
A total of 10 RCTs involves in 622 patients were collected. The statistical analysis showed that IGU can decrease the BASDAI score (SMD -1.62 [-2.20, -1.05], P<0.00001. Quality of evidence: low), the BASFI score (WMD -1.30 [-1.48, -1.12], P<0.00001. Quality of evidence: low) and the VAS (WMD -2.01 [-2.83, -1.19], P<0.00001. Quality of evidence: very low). Meanwhile, the addition of IGU into the conventional therapy would not increase the adverse events (RR 0.65 [0.43, 0.98], P=0.04. Quality of evidence: moderate).
IGU may be an effective and safe intervention for AS.

探索来氟米特(IGU)干预治疗强直性脊柱炎(AS)的疗效和安全性。
计算机检索文献数据库,收集有关 IGU 治疗 AS 的随机对照试验(RCT),并在各数据库中检索相关文献,检索时限均截至 2022 年 9 月。由 2 位研究者独立进行文献筛选、数据提取及纳入研究偏倚风险评价,并采用 Rev Man5.3 软件进行 meta 分析。方案注册:CRD42020220798。
共纳入 10 项 RCT 涉及 622 例患者。统计分析结果显示,IGU 可降低 BASDAI 评分(SMD-1.62[-2.20,-1.05],P<0.00001. 证据质量:低)、BASFI 评分(WMD-1.30[-1.48,-1.12],P<0.00001. 证据质量:低)和 VAS(WMD-2.01[-2.83,-1.19],P<0.00001. 证据质量:极低)。同时,加用 IGU 并不会增加不良反应发生率(RR 0.65[0.43,0.98],P=0.04. 证据质量:中)。
IGU 可能是治疗 AS 的一种有效且安全的干预措施。
