PASDAS is a composite disease activity measure for psoriatic arthritis. It includes components of PGADA [using VAS on a scale of 0=very well to 100=very poor]; PhGADA [using VAS on a scale of 0=no disease activity to 100=maximum disease activity];36-item short form survey (SF-36) [a questionnaire which measures quality of life across eight domains to determine a physical component summary (PCS) with a score range of 0-100, higher scores indicates better health status];TJC68;SJC66; leeds enthesitis index(LEI) [assessed at 6 sites with a score range of 0 to 6, higher scores indicates higher degree of enthesitis];Tender dactylitis count (TDC) [with a score range of 0 to 60, higher score indicates higher degree of dactylitis];C-reactive protein (CRP). Total score is calculated as the sum of the individual scores (each score adjusted by weighting factors). The score of PASDAS ranges from 0 to 10, lower scores indicates better function.

Percentage of Participants Who Achieved Minimal Disease Activity (MDA) Response at Weeks 4, 8, 12, and 16 |
MDA is a measure to indicate disease remission, and is based on a composite score of 7 domains. A participant is considered as having achieved the MDA if the participant fulfills at least 5 of the following 7 criteria: TJC68 =1; SJC66 =1; Psoriatic arthritis disease activity score (PASI) =1 for participants with psoriasis covering BSA <3% [PASI evaluates the severity and extent of psoriasis.

The PhGAP is used to determine the participant's psoriasis lesions overall at a given time point. The participant's psoriasis disease activity is assessed by a physician according to the grades of induration, erythema, and scaling on a scale of 0 to 5. The sum of the three grades is used to obtain the total average score. PhGAP is based on the total average score on a scale of 0-5 where, 0 = cleared, 1 = minimal, 2 = mild, 3 = moderate, 4 = marked, and 5 = severe.

mNAPSI is used to assess each nail abnormality for each of the participant's nails. Three features or groups of features (pitting, onycholysis together with oil-drop dyschromia, and crumbling) of each fingernail are graded on a scale from 0 (no onycholysis together with oil-drop dyschromia, no pitting, no crumbling) to 3 (>30 onycholysis together with oil-drop dyschromia, >50 pitting, >50% crumbling). Four features (leukonychia, splinter, hemorrhages, hyperkeratosis, and red spots in the lunula) are graded with the score of 1 = present or 0 = absent for each fingernail. Each finger has a score between 0 and 13. The total mNAPSI score is the sum of all abnormalities individual score across all fingers, and the total mNAPSI score ranges from 0 to 130. Lower numbers indicate fewer nail abnormalities. A negative change from baseline indicates improvement. |

Enthesitis at each site is scored as 0 (enthesitis absent) and 1 (enthesitis present). LEI is derived as the sum of the enthesitis score over the 6 sites mentioned above. The total score ranges from 0 to 6, higher scores indicates greater degree of enthesitis. A negative change from baseline indicates improvement. |

In the PASI system, the body is divided into 4 regions: the head and neck, trunk, upper limbs, and lower limbs. Each of these areas are assessed separately for the percentage of the area involved and for erythema, induration, and scaling, which are each rated on a scale of 0 to 4, where 0 = none, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate, 3 = severe and 4 = very severe, which translates to a numeric score that ranges from 0 (indicates no involvement) to 6 (90 percent [%] to 100% involvement). The PASI produces a numeric score that can range from 0 (no disease) to 72 (maximal disease). A higher score indicates more severe disease. A negative change from baseline indicates improvement. |

Change From Baseline in Leeds Dactylitis Index (LDI) at Weeks 4, 8, 12, and 16 in Participants With Dactylitis at Baseline |
LDI quantitatively measures dactylitis using the circumference of involved digits and control digits and tenderness of involved digits. Digits affected by dactylitis are defined as those with an at least 10% difference in the ratio of circumference of the affected digit to the contralateral digit (digit on opposite hand or foot), or if contralateral digit is also affected, values from a standard reference table. Total score= {{[Circumference involved digit/ Circumference contralateral Digit (or Tables)] - 1}x 100} x Tenderness score. Tenderness score (0 = no tenderness, and 1 = tender). The difference between circumference of affected finger and contralateral not affected digit cannot be defined for maximum value. Therefore, it is difficult to provide scale range for the final score. No theoretical range exists for the Leeds Dactylitis Index. Lower Leeds Dactylitis Index score represent better outcome.

Change From Baseline in Tender Dactylitis Count (TDC) at Weeks 4, 8, 12, and 16 in Participants With Dactylitis at Baseline |
Tender score (0 = no tenderness, 1 = tender, 2 = tender and wince, 3 = tender and withdraw) is collected for Dactylitis Assessments on the Dactylitis Score Sheet that is used for calculation of LDI total score. Tender dactylitis count (TDC) equals the number of tender fingers and toes (tendor score >0). For participants with dactylitis status absent for all the fingers and toes, the TDC is set as 0. The total score range of TDC is from 0 to 60, higher scores indicate greater presence of dactylitis. A negative change from baseline indicates improvement. |

Change From Baseline in Health Assessment Questionnaire - Disability Index (HAQ-DI) Score at Weeks 2, 4, 8, 12, and 16 |
The HAQ-DI score is defined as the average of the scores of eight functional categories (dressing and grooming, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip, and other activities), usually completed by the participant. Responses in each functional category are collected as 0 (without any difficulty) to 3 (unable to do a task in that area), with or without aids or devices. The eight category scores are averaged into an overall HAQ-DI score on a scale from 0 (no disability) to 3 (completely disabled). When 6 or more categories are non-missing, total possible score is 3. If more than 2 categories are missing, the HAQ-DI score is set to missing. A negative change from baseline indicates improvement (less disability). |

MCS consists of social functioning, vitality, mental health, and role-emotional scales.

A positive change from baseline indicated improvement (better health status). |
