Number of Responders With a Reduction of Signs and Symptoms of Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) as Measured With ASAS International Working Group Response Criteria (ASAS 20).

ASAS 20 responders - improvement of >=20% and absolute improvement of >=10 units from Baseline in a visual analog scale (VAS) for >=3 of 4 domains; Patient's Global Assessment of disease activity VAS (0 [none]-100 [severe]), Total Back Pain VAS (0 [no pain]-100 [severe]), BASFI VAS (0 [easy]-100[impossible]); and Inflammation VAS (0 [none]-10 [very severe]) and absence of deterioration in the potential remaining domain, defined as a worsening of >=20% and a net worsening of >=10 units. Applied to each scale and not to an overall global scale.

Mean Change in the Modified Stoke Ankylosing Spondylitis Spine Score (mSASSS) Compared Against a Historical Control Group (Outcomes in Ankylosing Spondylitis International Study [OASIS]) Using the ANCOVA Model Adjusting for Baseline mSASSS Score

Radiographic progression was based on change in mSASSS scoring (comparison of the means) from double-blind Baseline visit to Week 104. The mSASSS is the sum of the lumbar and cervical spine score ( 0 [no change] to 72 [progression]), derived from scoring the anterior site of the lumbar spine (T12 to S1) and the cervical spine (C2 to T1) as either 0 (normal), 1 (erosion, sclerosis, or squaring), 2 (syndesmophyte), 3 (bridging syndesmophyte), or N (vertebral body not evaluable). Data from NCT00195819 was compared with data from AS patients in OASIS.
