This is a Phase 3, long-term open-label extension study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of tofacitinib in subjects with active PsA who have previously participated in randomized studies of tofacitinib for this indication. This study will include a sub-study to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of tofacitinib 5 mg BID administered as monotherapy after methotrexate withdrawal compared to tofacitinib 5 mg BID continued in combination with methotrexate. The sub-study will be available to subjects who have completed at least 24 months of participation in the open-label extension study and meet eligibility criteria for the sub-study.

Percentage of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. SAE was an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly. Treatment-emergent were events between first dose of study drug and up to 48 months that were absent before treatment or that worsened relative to pretreatment state. AEs included both serious and non-serious AEs.
Time frame: Date of first dose of study medication up to 48 months (36 months of main study and 12 months of sub-study)
Number of Adverse Events (AEs) by Severity
An AE was any untoward medical occurrence attributed to study drug in a participant who received study drug. AEs were classified into 3 categories according to their severity as mild AEs (did not interfere with participant's usual function), moderate AEs (interfered to some extent with participant's usual function) and severe AEs (interfered significantly with participant's usual function).
Time frame: Date of first dose of study medication up to 48 months (36 months of main study and 12 months of sub-study)
Number of Participants With Abnormal Clinical Laboratory Values

Sub-study: Change From Baseline in Health Assessment Questionnaire - Disability Index (HAQ-DI) Score at Month 6
HAQ-DI assessed the degree of difficulty a participant had experienced during the past week in 8 domains of daily living activities: dressing/grooming, arising, eating, walking, reach, grip, hygiene, and other activities. There were total of 2-3 items distributed in each of these 8 domains. Each item was scored for level of difficulty on a 4-point scale from 0 to 3: 0= no difficulty; 1= some difficulty; 2= much difficulty; 3= unable to do. Overall score was computed as the sum of domain scores and divided by the number of domains answered. Total possible HAQ-DI score ranged from 0 (least difficulty) to 3 (extreme difficulty), where higher score indicated more difficulty while performing daily living activities.
Time frame: Sub-study: Baseline (Day 1), Month 6
Sub-study: Change From Baseline in Psoriatic Arthritis Disease Activity Score (PASDAS) at Month 6
PASDAS was composite PsA disease activity score that included following components: Physician and patient global assessment of disease activity (assessed on a 0-100 VAS) in millimeter (mm), swollen (66 joints) and tender joint counts (68 joints), Leeds enthesitis index (enthesitis assessed at 6 sites; total score of 0-6), tender dactylitic digit score (scored on a scale of 0-3, where 0= no tenderness and 3= extreme tenderness), short form-36 questionnaire (SF-36) physical component summary (norm-based domain scores were used in analyses; with a population mean of 50 with a SD of 10 points, and ranges from minus infinity to plus infinity) and C-reactive protein (CRP) in milligram per liter (mg/L). PASDAS was composite score and was a weighted index with score range of 0 to 10, where higher score indicated more severe disease.

PtGA: participant assessed health on VAS, 0 mm (very well) to 100 mm (worst health condition), higher score = worse condition. PhyGA: physician judged participants' pain on VAS, 0 (no pain) to 100 mm (extreme pain), higher score = more pain. To achieve a clinical response, the participant must improve in 2 of the 4 PsARC criteria, 1 of which has to be the number of tender or swollen joints and none of the 4 score could worsen.

The PGA-PsO was a 5-point scale, reflecting a global consideration of the erythema, induration, and scaling across all psoriatic lesions. Average erythema, induration, and scaling were scored separately over the whole body according to a 5-point severity scale (0-4). Higher score indicated higher disease severity. Severity score for each erythema, induration and scaling were summed and averaged after which the total average was rounded to the nearest whole number score to determine a PGA-PsO score on a scale of 0 to 4 (0= clear, except for any residual discoloration, 1= almost clear, 2= mild, 3= moderate, 4= severe).

The SF-36v2 acute was a 36-item measure that evaluates 8 domains: physical functioning, role physical, bodily pain, general health, vitality, social functioning, role-emotional, and mental health. The 5-item mental health scale includes 1 or more items from each of 4 major mental health dimensions: anxiety, depression, loss of behavioral/emotional control, and psychological well-being. Norm-based domain scores were used in the analyses; each of which had a population mean of 50 with a SD of 10 points, and ranged from minus infinity to plus infinity. A higher mental health domain score represented better mental health functioning.

Sub Study: Change From Baseline in Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue (FACIT-F) Total Score at Months 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12
FACIT-F:13-item questionnaire answered by participants,with each item scaled from 0(not at all) to 4(very much). 3 endpoints were derived:1)change in FACIT-F experience domain(score 0-20, higher score indicate less fatigue experience),calculated by summing 5 items(felt fatigued,felt weak all over,felt listless \["washed out"\],felt tired,had energy; 2)change in FACIT-F impact domain(score 0-32,higher score indicate less fatigue impact on daily functioning),calculated by summing remaining 8 items(had trouble starting things as tired,had trouble finishing things as tired,was able to do usual activities,needed to sleep during day,too tired to eat,needed help doing my usual activities,frustrated by being too tired to do things wanted to do,had to limit my social activity because tired); 3)change in FACIT-F total score(0-52):calculated by summing 13 items,higher score indicated lower level of fatigue, better participant status. All responses were added with equal weight to get total score.

Sub Study: Change From Baseline in EuroQol-5D Health Questionnaire 3-Level (EQ-5D-3L) Mobility Domain at Months 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12
EQ-5D-3L, a health profile questionnaire was used to assess quality of life along 5 dimensions i.e. mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression) are assessed. The status of each dimension had 3 possible responses (1 =no problem, 2= some problem 3 =severe problems) in the relevant health dimension. Higher score indicated a worsening health condition. Data for change from baseline in EQ-5D-3L mobility domain score were reported in this measure.
