Change in Disease Activity Score 28 C-reactive Protein (DAS28-CRP) From Baseline of Study M16-063 at Each Study Visit in Study M16-763
The DAS28-CRP is a composite index used to assess rheumatoid arthritis disease activity, calculated based on the tender joint count (out of 28 evaluated joints), swollen joint count (out of 28 evaluated joints), Patient's Global Assessment of Disease Activity (0-100 mm), and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP; in mg/L). Scores on the DAS28-CRP range from 0 to approximately 10, where higher scores indicate more disease activity. A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement in disease activity.
Percentage of Participants Achieving Low Disease Activity (LDA) Based on Disease Activity Score 28 C-reactive Protein (DAS28-CRP)
The DAS28-CRP is a composite index used to assess rheumatoid arthritis disease activity, calculated based on the tender joint count (out of 28 evaluated joints), swollen joint count (out of 28 evaluated joints), Patient's Global Assessment of Disease Activity (0-100 mm), and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP; in mg/L). Scores on the DAS28-CRP range from 0 to approximately 10, where higher scores indicate more disease activity.

Change in Tender Joint Count 68 (TJC68) From Baseline of Study M16-063
Sixty-eight joints were assessed for tenderness by physical examination.

Change in Health Assessment Questionnaire Disability Index (HAQ-DI) From Baseline of Study M16-063
The Health Assessment Questionnaire - Disability Index is a patient-reported questionnaire that measures the degree of difficulty a person has in accomplishing tasks in 8 functional areas (dressing, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reaching, gripping, and errands and chores) over the past week. Participants assessed their ability to do each task on a scale from 0 (without any difficulty) to 3 (unable to do). Scores were averaged to provide an overall score ranging from 0 to 3, where 0 represents no disability and 3 represents very severe, high-dependency disability. A negative change from baseline in the overall score indicates improvement.
Change in High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (Hs-CRP) From Baseline of Study M16-063
C-reactive protein is a blood test marker for inflammation in the body, and levels rise in response to inflammation. A negative change from baseline indicates improvement.
Change in Morning Stiffness Severity From Baseline of Study M16-063
Morning stiffness severity was assessed by a numeric rating-scale (NRS). Participants rated the severity of morning stiffness during the past week from 0 to 10 with 0 representing "not severe" and 10 "very severe". Negative values indicate improvement from baseline.
