Title Change From Baseline in Modified Van Der Heijde-Sharp (vdH-S) Score at Week 24
Hide Description Modified vdH-S score is the sum of the erosion score (hand, feet) and joint space narrowing (JSN) score (hand, feet). Joint erosion score is the summary of erosion severity in 40 joints of hand scored according to the surface area, from 0 (no erosion) to 5 (complete collapse of bone) and 12 joints of 2 feet (each side of the foot joint is graded on same 0-5 scale, thus maximum erosion score for a foot joint is 10), for a maximum erosion score of 320. JSN score is the total JSN score in same 52 joints as above, each joint scored according to the subluxation from 0 (normal) to 4 (bony ankylosis or complete luxation), for a maximum JSN score of 208. Total score ranges from 0 (best) to 528 (worst = worst possible erosion score of 320 + worst possible JSN score of 208). Higher score indicates more joint damage.

Title Percentage of Participants With Resolution of Enthesitis at Week 24 Among the Participants With Enthesitis at Baseline
Hide Description Enthesitis was assessed using the Leeds Enthesitis Index (LEI), a tool developed to assess enthesitis in participants with PsA and evaluates the presence (score of 1) or absence (score of 0) of pain by applying local pressure to the following entheses: left and right lateral epicondyle humerus, left and right medial femoral condyle, and left and right achilles tendon insertion. The enthesitis index score is a total score of the 6 evaluated sites from 0 (0 sites with tenderness) to 6 (worst possible score; 6 sites with tenderness). A LEI score of 0 at a post baseline visit indicates resolution of enthesitis when baseline LEI>0. The outcome measure was planned to be reported for pooled population from CNTO1959PSA3001 and CNTO1959PSA3002 studies.

Title Change From Baseline in HAQ-DI Score at Weeks 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24
Hide Description HAQ-DI score assess functional status of participant. It is a 20 question instrument that assess the degree of difficulty a person has in accomplishing tasks in 8 functional areas (dressing, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reaching, gripping, and activities of daily living). Responses in each functional area were scored from 0=indicating no difficulty, to 3=indicating inability to perform a task in that area. Total HAQ score is average of the computed categories scores ranging from 0-3 where 0=least difficulty and 3=extreme difficulty. Lower scores are indicative of better functioning. Negative changes from baseline indicate improvement of physical function.

Title Percentage of Participants Who Achieved >=0.35 Improvement From Baseline in HAQ-DI Score Through Week 24 Among Participants With HAQ-DI Score >=0.35 at Baseline
Hide Description HAQ-DI score assess functional status of participant. It is a 20 question instrument that assess the degree of difficulty a person has in accomplishing tasks in 8 functional areas (dressing, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reaching, gripping, and activities of daily living). Responses in each functional area were scored from 0=indicating no difficulty, to 3=indicating inability to perform a task in that area. Total HAQ score is average of the computed categories scores ranging from 0-3, where 0=least difficulty and 3=extreme difficulty. Lower scores are indicative of better functioning and a decrease of 0.35 from baseline in HAQ-DI score indicates a meaningful improvement.

Title Change From Baseline in Work Productivity and Activity Impairment Scores (Percent Work Time Missed) at Weeks 16 and 24
Hide Description Work Productivity and Activity Impairment was assessed using the Work Productivity and Activity Impairment Questionnaire - Specific Health Problem (WPAI-SHP) of PsA (WPAI-PsA). The WPAI-PsA consisted of 6 questions to determine employment status, hours missed from work due to PsA, hours missed from work for other reasons, hours actually worked, the degree to which PsA affected work productivity while at work and the degree to which PsA affected activities outside of work during the past 7 days. WPAI outcomes included percent work time missed due to PsA, percent impairment while working due to PsA, percent overall work impairment due to PsA, and percent activity impairment outside of work due to PsA. These WPAI outcomes were expressed as impairment percentages (0-100, 0=no impairment and 100=100% impaired), with higher numbers indicating greater impairment and less productivity. Negative changes from baseline indicate improvement of work productivity and activity impairment.

Hide Description Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI) is a self-assessment tool that consists of 6 questions relating to the 5 major symptoms of ankylosing spondylitis: fatigue, spinal pain, joint pain, enthesitis, qualitative morning stiffness and quantitative morning stiffness. The first 5 items were scored on a 10 centimeter (cm) VAS ranging from 0=none to 10=very severe. Quantitative morning stiffness was scored on a 10cm VAS ranging from 0=0 hours to 10=2 or more hours. The 2 scores for qualitative and quantitative morning stiffness were averaged, and the total BASDAI score was the average of the 5 scores of each symptom, ranging from 0 (none) to 10 (very severe). Higher scores indicate greater disease severity and an improvement of 50% from baseline is considered clinically meaningful. Only participants with spondylitis and peripheral arthritis as their primary arthritic presentation of PsA completed the BASDAI indicate the degree of their symptoms over the past week.

Title Percentage of Participants With a Change of <=0 or <=0.5 From Baseline in Modified vdH-S Score at Week 24
Hide Description Modified vdH-S score is the sum of the erosion score (hand, feet) and joint space narrowing (JSN) score (hand, feet). Joint erosion score is the summary of erosion severity in 40 joints of hand scored according to the surface area, from 0 (no erosion) to 5 (complete collapse of bone) and 12 joints of 2 feet (each side of the foot joint is graded on same 0-5 scale, thus maximum erosion score for a foot joint is 10), for a maximum erosion score of 320. JSN score is the total JSN score in same 52 joints as above, each joint scored according to the subluxation from 0 (normal) to 4 (bony ankylosis or complete luxation), for a maximum JSN score of 208. Total score ranges from 0 (best) to 528 (worst = worst possible erosion score of 320 + worst possible JSN score of 208). Higher score indicates more joint damage. Positive changes from baseline in the modified vdH-S total, erosion and JSN scores indicate progression of joint damage.

Hide Description The modified vdH-S score is the sum of the erosion score (hand, feet) and joint space narrowing (JSN) score (hand, feet). The JSN score is the sum of JSN score in 40 joints of the two hands and 12 joints of the 2 feet. Each joint is scored from 0 - 4 with 0 indicating no JSN, and 4 indicating a complete loss of joint space, bony ankylosis, or complete luxation, for a maximum JSN score of 208. Higher score indicates more severe joint space narrowing. Change from baseline in the modified vdH-S JSN score <=0 (assessed by both readers) or <=0.5 (assessed by at least one reader) was considered as no progression of JSN.
