For placebo patients who escaped early to CZP, the week 24 values were linearly extrapolated.

*p<0.05 versus placebo.

†Prespecified non-progressor cut-off mTSS.

‡Prespecified imputation.

§Patients with missing values considered progressors.

BL, baseline; CZP, certolizumab pegol; mTSS, modified Total Sharp Score; NRI, non-responder imputation; Q2W, every 2 weeks; Q4W, every 4 weeks.
