Response is defined as change from baseline to Week 12 ≥MCID (in absolute value), non-response is defined as mean change from baseline to Week 12 <MCID. n represents number of subjects with non-missing WPS-RA, considered in the analysis.

*P≤0.05 vs non-responders; **P≤0.01 vs non-responders; ***P≤0.001 vs non-responders.
