Baseline to Week 104
|
Mean Change From Baseline in Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Score (ASDAS) High Sensitivity CRP (hsCRP) Score at Time Points
Time Frame: Baseline to Week 104
|
ASDAS includes CRP (mg/L) or ESR (mm/hr); Apart from the value of CRP or ESR, the four additional self-reported items (rated on 0-10cm VAS or 0-10 numerical rating scale [NRS]) included in this index are back pain, duration of morning stiffness, peripheral pain/swelling and patient global assessment of disease activity.
The ASDAS scores are then calculated as follows: ASDAS_CRP = (0.121 x total back pain) + (0.110 x subject global) + (0.073 x peripheral pain/swelling) + (0.058 x duration of morning stiffness) + (0.579 x Ln(CRP+1)).
And ASDAS_ESR: (0.079 x total back pain) + (0.113 x subject global) + (0.086 x peripheral pain/swelling) + (0.069 x duration of morning stiffness) + (0.293 x √ESR).
In addition, the proportion of participants who achieve inactive disease based on the ASDAS will be determined for each group.
Inactive disease is defined as an ASDAS score <1.3.

Mean Change From Baseline in Ankylosing Spondylitis Spine Magnetic Resonance Imaging-Activity (ASspiMRI-a) Total Score
Time Frame: Weeks 12 and 104
|
ASspiMRI-a measures acute lesion scores as determined by short-tau inversion recovery (STIR) and gadolinium-enhanced T1 (Gd-DTPA).
All 23 disco-vertebral units (DVU) of the spine (from C2 to S1), defined as the region between 2 virtual lines through the middle of each vertebra, are scored in a single dimension, which is representing the highest level of inflammation in that particular DVU.
Enhancement and bone marrow edema are graded (0-3) for each DVU, with 3 more grades (4-6) if, in addition to the signs of acute inflammation defined for grades 1-3, erosions are visualized, leading to a maximum score of 138 for the entire spine.
Acute spinal changes were assessed by using STIR sagittal views of the cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine.
The total score ranges from 0 (no inflammation) to 138 (high inflammation).

Change From Baseline in Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory (MFI) Score at Time Points
Time Frame: Baseline to Week 104
|
The MFI is a 20-item questionnaire that evaluates several aspects of fatigue.
The General Fatigue Item is disclosed here.
The general fatigue item contains four items, two of which are indicative for fatigue and two items contra-indicative for fatigue.
Indicative items (eg, "I tire easily") are formulated in such a way that a high score suggests a high degree of fatigue.
In case of contra-indicative items (eg, "I feel fit") a high score indicates a low degree of fatigue.
Each item is scored on a 5-point numeric rating scale anchored at each end by "Yes, that is true" (scored 1) to "No, that is not true" (scored 5).
Scoring for the MFI is done in such a way that higher scores indicate greater fatigue.
Therefore, the items indicative for fatigue need to be recoded (1=5, 2=4, 3=3, 4=2, 5=1).
For each scale a total score is calculated by summation of the scores of the individual items.
Scores can range from the minimum of 4 to the maximum of 20.
MFI-20 scale is copyrighted.

Change From Baseline in Medical Outcomes Study (MOS) Sleep Scale Score From Baseline to Week 104
Time Frame: Baseline to Week 104
|
The MOS sleep scale consists of 12 items to measure 6 sleep dimensions: initiation (time to fall asleep), quantity (hours of sleep each night), maintenance, respiratory problems, perceived adequacy, somnolence (the last 4 items reported using a 6-item Likert scale ranging from 1 [all of the time] to 6 [none of the time]).
The raw scores ranging from 1 to 6 are transformed to scores ranging from 0 to 100 before the indices are calculated.
Therefore the reported scores, consisting of means of converted items, also range from 0 to 100.
However, two indexes can be derived: Sleep problems index I (short form) and sleep problems index II (long form).
Additional subscales can be derived: sleep disturbance, snoring, awaken shortness of breath or headache, sleep adequacy, sleep somnolence, sleep quantity, and optimal sleep.
However, data for two indexes and additional subscales is not reported.
