  • n indicates number of patients with evaluable paired X-ray data at both baseline and week 104 (X-ray completers). Data shown as mean (SD). mSASSS ranges from 0 to 72, with higher scores indicating greater radiographic damage. Patients received 10 mg/kg secukinumab at baseline and weeks 2 and 4, before receiving indicated dose of secukinumab subcutaneously every four weeks from week 8.

  • hsCRP, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein; mSASSS, modified Stoke Ankylosing Spondylitis Spine Score.
