  • Patient-years was calculated from initial dose up to first incidence of the event for patients who had at least one event, and from initial dose through follow-up for patients who had no events; incidence rate is calculated as (100 × number of patients who had at least one incidence/total patient-years).

  • *Included adverse events occurring during treatment with peficitinib in patients who were initially treated with placebo and switched to peficitinib at week 12.

  • SAF, safety analysis set.
