The effectiveness of switching from an originator biological agent to its biosimilar, or vice versa, for ankylosing spondylitis in real clinical practice

If standard therapy with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs is ineffective, biological drugs are usually prescribed for patients with active ankylosing spondylitis.
