Statistical Analysis Overview Comparison Group Selection Certolizumab Pegol (FAS)
Comments

The Poisson regression allowed for a comparison of event rates adjusting for differences in time between prestudy/on-study periods.

Event rates were based on a Poisson model with generalized estimating equations and a log-link, including an offset term for time interval length, and with period and disease duration of axSpA (<2 years/≥2 years) as covariates. A repeated statement was included for participants and assumed an exchangeable correlation structure between prestudy and on-study flares.

Title Change From Baseline in Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Score (ASDAS) at Week 48
Hide Description

The ASDAS was calculated as the sum of the following:

0.121 × Back pain (Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI) Question 2 result) 0.058 × Duration of morning stiffness (BASDAI Question 6 result) 0.110 × Patient's Global Assessment of Disease Activity (PtGADA) 0.073 × Peripheral pain/swelling (BASDAI Question 3 result) 0.579 × (natural logarithm (C-Reactive Protein (CRP) [mg/L] + 1)) Back pain, PtGADA, duration of morning stiffness, and peripheral pain/swelling are all assessed on a numerical scale (0 to 10 units).

The change from Baseline is calculated, a negative value indicating improvement and a positive value worsening.

There is a minimum score of 0.636 for the total ASDAS score, but no defined upper score. Based on the formula even in the situation that the CRP is normal, any value below 4 is recorded as 'below the limit of quantification' (BLQ) and a value of BLQ/2=2 was prespecified. This assumption is triggering the lowest possible value of 0.636.

Title Change From Baseline in Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI) at Week 48
Hide Description

The BASDAI is a validated self-reported instrument which consists of 6 horizontal Numeric Rating Scales (NRSs), each with 10 units to measure the severity of the 5 major symptoms: fatigue, spinal pain, peripheral joint pain and swelling, enthesitis, and morning stiffness (both severity and duration) over the last week. To give each symptom equal weighting, the average of the 2 scores relating to morning stiffness is taken. The resulting 0 to 50 sum score is divided by 5 to give a final BASDAI score between 0 and 10, with lower scores indicating lower disease activity.

The change from Baseline is calculated, a negative value indicating improvement and a positive value worsening.

The ASAS 5/6 response is defined as at least 20 % improvement in 5 of 6 domains, including spinal mobility (lateral spinal flexion) and C-Reactive Protein (CRP) as more objective measures.

As the BASMI was not collected, and there was no alternative measure of spinal mobility available in the study data, the complete component for spinal mobility was missing. Therefore the ASAS 5/6 response criterion cannot be calculated, and the analysis of the secondary efficacy variable ASAS 5/6 had to be dropped.

Title Change From Baseline in Total Spinal Pain at Week 48 Assessed by Numerical Rating Scale (NRS)
Hide Description

The total spinal pain was assessed with the question 'How much pain of your spine due to spondylitis do you have?' using a Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) where 0 was 'No pain' and 10 was 'Most severe pain'. Usually, a 10 % difference (ie, a 1 point difference on a Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) ranging from 0 to 10) is considered the minimal clinically important difference used to interpret scores (Dworkin et al, 2008).

Total score ranges from 0 to 10, with lower scores indicating a worse outcome. The change from Baseline is calculated, a negative value indicating improvement and a positive value worsening.

An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product, whether or not related to the medicinal (investigational) product.
