Title Change From Baseline in DAS28(CRP) [Disease Activity Score-28 (C-reactive Protein)] at Week 12
Hide Description DAS28(CRP) is calculated using tender joint count (TJC), swollen joint count (SJC), C-reactive protein (CRP in mg/L), and Patient's Global Assessment of Arthritis-Visual Analog Scale (PtGADA-VAS in mm). A lower score indicates less disease activity. Change from baseline is computed as Week 12 value minus baseline value. A negative value in change from baseline indicates an improvement.

A lower score indicates less disease activity. This analysis was carried out using imputation.

Title Change From Baseline in Tender Joint Count (TJC) at Week 28
Hide Description TJC is calculated based on tenderness response of 28 joints. TJC possible values range from 0 to 28. A lower TJC indicates less joint tenderness. Change from Baseline is computed as the value at Week 28 minus the Baseline value. A negative value in change from Baseline indicates an improvement. This analysis was done using a Mixed Effects Repeated Measures Model (MMRM).

Each question is scored 0-3 (0 = without any difficulty, 1 = with some difficulty, 2 = with much difficulty, and 3 = unable to do). Change from baseline is computed as the value at Week 28 minus the baseline value. A negative value in change from baseline indicates an improvement.
