Primary outcomes
- Change From Baseline in Modified Total Sharp X-Ray Score at Week 26 — Baseline, Week 26
Modified Total Sharp Score (mTSS) is a measure of joint health, used in evaluation of inhibition of radiographic progression of disease. Digitized X-rays of hands and feet were obtained then scored in a blinded manner: for erosions (0 \[no damage\] to 5 \[complete collapse or total destruction of joint\]) and for joint space narrowing (0 \[no damage\] to 4 \[complete luxation of joint\]). Scores were added, giving total mTSS (0 \[normal\] to 380 \[maximal disease\]). Large positive change in mTSS indicates disease progression; small positive/no change indicates slowing/halting of disease progression.
