1.Primary Outcome
Title Percentage of Participants Achieving an Assessment of Spondyloarthritis International Society 40 (ASAS40) Response
Hide Description ASAS40 is defined as a greater than or equal to (≥)40% improvement and an absolute improvement from baseline of ≥2 units (ranges 0 to 10) in at least 3 of the 4 domains (Patient Global, Spinal Pain, Function, and Inflammation), without any worsening in the remaining domain. 1) Patient Global: How active was your spondylitis during the last week? score ranges 0 (not active) to 10 (very active). 2) Spinal Pain: How much spinal pain due to Ankylosing spondylitis? score ranges 0 (no pain) to 10 (severe pain). 3) Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index: Participant is asked to rate the difficulty associated with 10 individual basic functional activities. Responses were captured using numeric rating scale (NRS) (ranges 0 to 10) with a higher score of worse function. 4) Inflammation based on mean of Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI) question 5 and 6 (mean of intensity, duration of stiffness). Score ranges (0 (non) to 10 (very severe).

Title Change From Baseline in Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Score (ASDAS)
Hide Description ASDAS is a composite index to assess disease activity in axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA). ASDAS parameters used with (C-reactive protein [CRP] as acute phase reactant) are: 1) Total back pain 2) Patient global 3) Peripheral pain/swelling, duration of morning stiffness 4) CRP in mg/L: ASDAScrp is calculated with the equation: 0.121 × total back pain + 0.110×patient global + 0.073 × peripheral pain/swelling + 0.058 × duration of morning stiffness + 0.579 × Ln(CRP+1). CRP is in milligram/liter (mg/L), the range of other variables is from 0 to 10. Data from five variables combined to yield a score (0.6361 to no defined upper limit), where higher scores indicated higher disease activity. Ln represents the natural logarithm. Least squares mean (LS Mean) was derived from mixed models repeated measure analysis (MMRM) with treatment, geographic region, screening MRI/CRP status, baseline value, visit, baseline value-by-visit, and treatment-by-visit interaction as fixed factors.

Title Percentage of Participants Achieving ASDAS Low Disease Activity
Hide Description ASDAS is a composite index to assess disease activity in axSpA. ASDAS low disease activity is defined as a score of <2.1. The parameters used for the ASDAS (with CRP as acute phase reactant) are total back pain, patient global, peripheral pain/swelling, duration of morning stiffness and CRP in mg/L. The ASDAScrp is calculated with the following equation: 0.121×total back pain+0.110×patient global+0.073×peripheral pain/swelling+0.058×duration of morning stiffness+0.579×Ln(CRP+1). CRP is in mg/liter, the range of other variables is from 0(normal) to 10(very severe); Ln represents the natural logarithm).

Title Change From Baseline in the Work Productivity Activity Impairment Spondyloarthritis (WPAI-SpA) Scores
Hide Description The WPAI-SpA consists of 6 questions to determine employment status, hours missed from work because of SpA, hours missed from work for other reasons, hours actually worked, the degree to which SpA affected work productivity while at work, and the degree to which SpA affected activities outside of work. The WPAI-SpA has been validated in the rad-axSpA patient population. Four scores are derived: percentage of absenteeism, percentage of presenteeism (reduced productivity while at work), an overall work impairment score that combines absenteeism and presenteeism, and percentage of impairment in activities performed outside of work. The computed percentage range for each sub-scale was from 0-100, with higher scores indicating greater impairment and less productivity. LS Mean was derived from ANCOVA with treatment, geographic region, screening MRI/CRP status and baseline value.
