  • For placebo patients who escaped early to CZP, the week 24 values were linearly extrapolated.

  • *p<0.05 versus placebo.

  • †Prespecified non-progressor cut-off mTSS.

  • ‡Prespecified imputation.

  • §Patients with missing values considered progressors.

  • BL, baseline; CZP, certolizumab pegol; mTSS, modified Total Sharp Score; NRI, non-responder imputation; Q2W, every 2 weeks; Q4W, every 4 weeks.
