Week 24: 57% of patients receiving TREMFYA® q8w (47/82) had an IGA score 0 (cleared) or 1 (minimal) and ≥2 grade reduction from baseline vs 15% of patients receiving placebo (12/78) (P<0.0001)1,2,7ǁ¶

BSA=body surface area; IGA=Investigator’s Global Assessment; NRI=nonresponder imputation.

*The same patients may not have responded at each time point.

IGA 0/1=proportion of patients who achieved an IGA score of cleared (0) or minimal (1) using a 5-point scale where psoriatic lesions are graded by the investigator for induration, erythema, and scaling on a scale of 0 to 4: cleared, except for residual discoloration (0), minimal (1), mild (2), moderate (3), or severe (4).

Year 2 represents Week 100.

§After Week 24, patients and doctors knew that all patients were on TREMFYA® (open label with a blinded dosing interval), which may have affected the results.

||Through Week 24, patients were considered to be nonresponders after meeting treatment failure criteria: discontinued study agent for any reason, terminated study participation for any reason, initiated or increased the dose of disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) or oral corticosteroids over baseline for PsA, or initiated protocol-prohibited medications/therapies for PsA. After Week 24, treatment failure rules were not applied.

Patients with missing data were considered nonresponders.
