Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Participants Meeting American College of Rheumatology Response Criteria Greater Than or Equal to (≥) 20% (ACR20): Month 3Month 3

ACR20 was calculated as a ≥20% improvement from baseline in tender/painful and swollen joint counts and ≥20% improvement from baseline in 3 of the 5 remaining ACR core set measures: patient's global assessment of arthritis, physician's global assessment of arthritis, patient's assessment of arthritis pain, Health Assessment Questionnaire - Disability Index (HAQ-DI), and C-reactive protein (CRP).

Change From Baseline in Health Assessment Questionnaire - Disability Index (HAQ-DI) Score: Month 3Month 3

The HAQ-DI assesses the difficulty a patient has had in the past week in 8 domains of daily living activities: dressing and grooming, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip, and other activities. Each activity category consists of 2-3 items. For each question, level of difficulty is scored from 0 to 3 with 0=no difficulty, 1=some difficulty, 2=much difficulty, and 3=unable to do. The score for each domain is the maximum (worst) score from the items/questions within the domain. Higher score indicates greater disability. Overall score was computed as the sum of the domain scores divided by the number of domains answered. The total possible score ranged from 0 to 3 where 0 = least difficulty and 3 = extreme difficulty. Higher overall score indicates greater disability.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change From Baseline in American College of Rheumatology (ACR) Response Criteria Components Score: Physician's Global Assessment of Arthritis: Month 3Month 3

The blinded investigator or qualified assessor assessed how the participant's overall arthritis appeared at the time of the visit. This was an evaluation based on the participant's disease signs, functional capacity and physical examination, and was independent of the Patient's Global Assessment of Arthritis. The investigator's response was recorded using a 100 mm VAS by placing a mark on the scale between 0 (very good) and 100 (very poor).

Change From Baseline in American College of Rheumatology (ACR) Response Criteria Components Score: Swollen Joint Count: Month 3Month 3

Swollen joint counts are considered the most specific quantitative clinical measure used to assess the status of participants with inflammatory types of arthritis. Sixty six (66) joints were assessed by a blinded assessor to determine the number of joints that were considered swelling.

Change From Baseline in American College of Rheumatology (ACR) Response Criteria Components Score: Tender/Painful Joint Count: Month 3Month 3

Tender/painful joint counts are considered the most specific quantitative clinical measure used to assess the status of participants with inflammatory types of arthritis. Sixty eight (68) joints were assessed by a blinded assessor to determine the number of joints that were considered tender or painful.

Percentage of Participants Meeting Psoriatic Arthritis Response Criteria (PsARC): Week 2, Months 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6Week 2, Months 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6

The PsARC covers 4 measures: Tender joint count, swollen joint count, the Physician's Global Assessment of Arthritis, and the Patient's Global Assessment of Arthritis. The PsARC response is defined as improvement in 2 of 4 items, 1 of which must be joint pain or swelling, without worsening in any measure. Improvement criteria: ≥20% improvement in Physician's Global Assessment of Arthritis; ≥20% improvement in Patient's Global Assessment of Arthritis; ≥30% improvement in tender joint count; and ≥30% improvement in swollen joint count. n=number of responders.

The SF-36v2 acute is a 36-item measure that evaluates 8 domains: physical functioning, role physical, bodily pain, general health, vitality, social functioning, role-emotional, and mental health. The general health scale consists of 5 items including a rating of health and 4 items addressing the respondent's view and expectations of his or her health. The domain scores were scored using the US 1998 general population norms. The resulting norm-based T-scores for both the SF36 version 2 \& SF36 health domain scales \& component summary measures have means of 50 \& standard deviations of 10. A higher general health domain score represents better general health perceptions. n=number of participants evaluable at each visit.

The 10 items of the physical functioning scale represent levels \& kinds of limitations between extremes of physical activities, including lifting \& carrying groceries; climbing stairs; bending, kneeling, or stooping; walking moderate distances; self-care limitations. The physical functioning items capture the presence \& extent of physical limitations using a 3-level response continuum. The domain scores were scored using the US 1998 general population norms. The resulting norm-based T-scores for both the SF36 version 2 \& SF36 health domain scales \& component summary measures have means of 50 \& standard deviations of 10.

Change From Baseline in Physician's Global Assessment of Psoriasis (PGA-PsO) Response: Months 1, 3, and 6Months 1, 3, and 6

The PGA-PsO is scored on a 5-point scale, reflecting a global consideration of the erythema, induration, and scaling across all psoriatic lesions. Average erythema, induration, and scaling are rated separately over the whole body according to a 5-point severity scale, scored as 0=none; 1, 2, 3, or 4=most severe. The severity rating scores are summed and the average taken; the total average is rounded to the nearest whole number score to determine the PGA-PsO score on a scale of 0 to 4 (0=clear, 1=almost clear, 2=mild, 3=moderate, 4=severe). n=number of participants evaluable at each visit.

Percentage of Participants With Psoriasis Area and Severity Index 75 (PASI75) Response: Months 1, 3, and 6Months 1, 3, and 6

PASI determines psoriasis severity based on lesion severity and percentage of body surface area (BSA) affected. Lesion severity is assessed for erythema, induration, and scaling evaluated separately for the head and neck, upper limbs, trunk, and lower limbs and then rated for each body area according to a 5 point scale: 0=no involvement; 1=slight; 2=moderate; 3=marked; 4=very marked. BSA involvement is the extent (%) of body area affected by psoriasis and is assigned a numerical score: 0=no involvement; 1=0% to 9%; 2=10% to 29%; 3=30% to 49%; 4=50% to 69%; 5=70% to 89%; 6=90% to 100%. In each area, the sum of the severity rating scores is multiplied by the score representing the percentage of this area involved by psoriasis, multiplied by a weighting factor (head 0.1; upper limbs 0.2; trunk 0.3; lower limbs 0.4). The sum of the numbers obtained for each of the 4 body areas is the PASI. PASI75 is defined as a 75% reduction from baseline in PASI. n=number of responders.

Change From Baseline in Dactylitis Severity Score (DSS): Months 1, 3, and 6Months 1, 3, and 6
