It is 20 question instrument that assess 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 change from baseline indicates improvement of physical function.

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.

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.

Change From Baseline in BASDAI Score at Weeks 52, 76 and 100 Among Participants With Spondylitis and Peripheral Arthritis and BASDAI Score>0 at Baseline
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.

Change From Baseline in Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy (FACIT)-Fatigue Score at Weeks 52, 76 and 100
The FACIT-Fatigue is a questionnaire that assesses self-reported tiredness, weakness, and difficulty conducting usual activities due to fatigue. The subscale consists 13-item instrument to measure fatigue. Each of the 13 items has a set of five response categories: Not at all (=0), A little bit (=1), Somewhat (=2), Quite a bit (=3) and Very much (=4). A total FACIT-Fatigue subscale score was calculated as the sum of the 13 item scores (reserved scores [4 - score]) and ranges from 0 to 52, with a higher score indicating less fatigue. Positive changes from baseline indicate improvement of fatigue. Items were reverse scored when appropriate to provide a scale in which higher scores represent better functioning or less fatigue.

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.
