Change From Baseline in Disease Activity Score in 28 Joints (DAS28) at Week 16
The DAS28 score is a measure of the participant's disease activity calculated using the tender joint count (TJC) \[28 joints\], swollen joint count (SJC) \[28 joints\], participant's global assessment of disease activity \[visual analog scale: 0 = no disease activity to 100 = maximum disease activity\] and the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) for a total possible score of 0 (best) to approximately 10 (worst). Scores below 2.6 indicate best disease control and scores above 5.1 indicate worse disease control. A negative change from baseline indicated improvement.

The Stanford Health Assessment Questionnaire Disability Index (HAQ-DI) is a participant completed questionnaire specific for rheumatoid arthritis, consisting of 20 questions in 8 domains: dressing/grooming, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip and common daily activities. There are 4 possible responses for each question: 0=without any difficulty, 1=with some difficulty, 2=with much difficulty and 3=unable to do. The score for each of the domains is the highest (worst) score in each domain. A participant must have a domain score for at least 6 of 8 domains to calculate a valid HAQ-DI score which is the sum of domain scores, divided by the number of domains that have a score for a total possible score minimum/maximum 0 (best) to 3 (worst). A negative change from baseline indicated improvement.

Change From Baseline in Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI) Score at Week 16
The BASDAI is used to measure the ankylosing spondylitis (AS) disease severity. It consists of 6 questions: fatigue, spinal pain, arthralgia (joint pain) or swelling, enthesitis (inflammation of tendons and ligaments), and morning stiffness (2 questions: duration and severity). Each question is an easy to answer 10 centimeter (cm) visual analog scale (VAS), with 0 being none, and 10 being very severe. In order to give each of the 5 symptoms equal weight, the mean of the 2 questions about morning stiffness will be added to the total of the remaining 4 scores, and the final BASDAI score (ranging 0-10) is the average of the overall total score. Higher BASDAI score indicates more severe AS symptom.
