Assessment method [1]

The Health Assessment Questionnaire - Disability Index is a patient-reported questionnaire consisting of 20 questions referring to eight domains: dressing/grooming, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip, and usual activities. Participants assessed their ability to do each task over the past week using the following response categories: without any difficulty (0); with some difficulty (1); with much difficulty (2); and unable to do (3). Scores on each task are summed and averaged to provide an overall score ranging from 0 to 3, where zero represents no disability and three very severe, high-dependency disability. Negative mean changes from Baseline in the overall score indicate improvement in functional ability.

The Medical Outcome Study Short Form 36-Item Health Survey, Version 2 (SF-36) is a self-administered instrument that measures the impact of disease on overall quality of life and consists of 36 questions in eight domains (physical function, pain, general and mental health, vitality, social function, physical and emotional health). Norm-based scores were used in analyses, calibrated so that 50 is the average score and the standard deviation equals 10. Higher scores indicate a higher level of functioning. The physical functioning domain assesses limitations in physical activities because of health problems. A positive change from Baseline score indicates an improvement.

Improvement or worsening in joint counts is defined as decrease or increase, respectively, from baseline by = 30%, and improvement or worsening in global assessments is defined as decrease or increase, respectively, from baseline by = 20 mm VAS.

The percentage of participants with Baseline psoriasis body surface area (BSA) involvement = 3% who achieved 75% or greater improvement from Baseline in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) score after 16 weeks of treatment. The Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) score is a combination of the intensity of psoriasis, assessed by erythema (reddening), induration (plaque thickness) and desquamation (scaling) scored on a scale from 0 (none) to 4 (very severe), together with the percentage of the area affected, rated on a scale from 0 (no involvement) to 6 (90% to 100% involvement). PASI scoring is performed at four body areas, the head, arms, trunk, and legs. The total PASI score ranges from 0 to 72. The higher the total score, the more severe the disease.

The CDAI score ranges from 0-76 where lower scores indicate less disease activity. The following thresholds of disease activity have been defined for the CDAI: Remission: = 2.8 Low Disease Activity: \> 2.8 and = 10 Moderate Disease Activity: \> 10 and = 22 High Disease Activity: \> 22.

DAS28(CRP) scores range from 0 to approximately 10, with the upper bound dependent on the highest possible level of CRP. A DAS28 score higher than 5.1 indicates high disease activity, a DAS28 score less than 3.2 indicates low disease activity, and a DAS28 score less than 2.6 indicates clinical remission.

Assessment method [37]

The Health Assessment Questionnaire - Disability Index is a patient-reported questionnaire consisting of 20 questions referring to eight domains: dressing/grooming, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip, and usual activities. Participants assessed their ability to do each task over the past week using the following response categories: without any difficulty (0); with some difficulty (1); with much difficulty (2); and unable to do (3). Scores on each task are summed and averaged to provide an overall score ranging from 0 to 3, where zero represents no disability and three very severe, high-dependency disability. Negative mean changes from Baseline in the overall score indicate improvement in functional ability.

The Medical Outcome Study Short Form 36-Item Health Survey, Version 2 (SF-36) is a self-administered instrument that measures the impact of disease on overall quality of life and consists of 36 questions in eight domains (physical function, pain, general and mental health, vitality, social function, physical and emotional health). Norm-based scores were used in analyses, calibrated so that 50 is the average score and the standard deviation equals 10. Higher scores indicate a higher level of functioning. The physical functioning domain assesses limitations in physical activities because of health problems. A positive change from Baseline score indicates an improvement.

Modified PsARC response is defined as improvement in at least 2 of the 4 measures, at least one of which must be tender joint count or swollen joint count, and no worsening in any of the 4 measures: • 78 tender joint count, • 76 swollen joint count, • Patient global assessment of disease activity, measured on a 100 mm visual Analog scale (VAS), where 0 mm = lowest disease activity and 100 mm = highest; • Physician global assessment of disease activity, measured on a 100 mm VAS, where 0 mm = lowest disease activity and 100 mm = highest. Improvement or worsening in joint counts is defined as decrease or increase, respectively, from baseline by = 30%, and improvement or worsening in global assessments is defined as decrease or increase, respectively, from baseline by = 20 mm VAS. Two-sided 95% confidence interval is based on the Clopper-Pearson method.

The percentage of participants with Baseline psoriasis body surface area (BSA) involvement = 3% who achieved 75% or greater improvement from Baseline in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) score after 52 weeks. The Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) score is a combination of the intensity of psoriasis, assessed by erythema (reddening), induration (plaque thickness) and desquamation (scaling) scored on a scale from 0 (none) to 4 (very severe), together with the percentage of the area affected, rated on a scale from 0 (no involvement) to 6 (90% to 100% involvement). PASI scoring is performed at four body areas, the head, arms, trunk, and legs. The total PASI score ranges from 0 to 72. The higher the total score, the more severe the disease. Two-sided 95% confidence interval is based on the Clopper-Pearson method.

The CDAI score ranges from 0-76 where lower scores indicate less disease activity. The following thresholds of disease activity have been defined for the CDAI: Remission: = 2.8 Low Disease Activity: \> 2.8 and = 10 Moderate Disease Activity: \> 10 and = 22 High Disease Activity: \> 22.

DAS28(CRP) scores range from 0 to approximately 10, with the upper bound dependent on the highest possible level of CRP. A DAS28 score higher than 5.1 indicates high disease activity, a DAS28 score less than 3.2 indicates low disease activity, and a DAS28 score less than 2.6 indicates clinical remission.

A TEAE is an adverse event (AE) with a start date on or after the date of the first dose of investigational product (IP) and no later than 28 days after the last dose of IP. An adverse event (AE) is any noxious, unintended, or untoward medical occurrence that may appear or worsen in a subject during the course of a study. A serious AE is any AE that results in death; is life-threatening; requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity; is a congenital anomaly/birth defect; or constitutes an important medical event. For both AEs and SAEs the investigator assessed the severity of the event according to the grading scale: Mild: asymptomatic or with mild symptoms, Moderate: symptoms causing moderate discomfort or Severe: symptoms causing severe discomfort or pain.

Available to whom?
Qualified researchers may submit a request containing the research objectives, the Amgen product(s) and Amgen study/studies in scope, endpoints/outcomes of interest, statistical analysis plan, data requirements, publication plan, and qualifications of the researcher(s). In general, Amgen does not grant external requests for individual patient data for the purpose of re-evaluating safety and efficacy issues already addressed in the product labelling. Requests are reviewed by a committee of internal advisors. If not approved, a Data Sharing Independent Review Panel will arbitrate and make the final decision. Upon approval, information necessary to address the research question will be provided under the terms of a data sharing agreement. This may include anonymized individual patient data and/or available supporting documents, containing fragments of analysis code where provided in analysis specifications.
