Popis: Introduction Biomarkers complementing clinical evaluations may help to reduce the length and size of proof-of-concept (PoC) trials aimed to obtain quick “go/no go” decisions in the clinical development of new treatments. We aimed to identify and validate serum biomarkers with a high sensitivity to change upon effective treatment in spondyloarthritis (SpA) PoC trials. Methods The candidate biomarkers high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), pentraxin-3 (PTX-3), alpha-2-macroglobulin (alpha-2-MG), matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3), calprotectin, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in healthy controls (n = 20) and SpA patients before and after 2 weeks of infliximab (n = 18) or placebo (n = 19) treatment in cohort 1. Clinical outcome was evaluated at week 12. Results were validated in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) with infliximab (cohort 2, n = 21) and peripheral SpA with etanercept (cohort 3, n = 20). Results Serum levels of calprotectin, hs-CRP, PTX-3, VEGF (all P
