Data are shown for the Randomised Set. LS means and corresponding SEs and 95% CIs are estimated using a mixed model with mTSS as the dependent variable, treatment and visit as fixed-effect factors, treatment by visit as an interaction term, and by specifying an unstructured covariance matrix. Medians are calculated based on the observed values.

*The PBO to CZP at week 16 treatment group also includes participants randomised to PBO withdrawing before having the opportunity to switch to CZP.

CFB, change from baseline; CZP, certolizumab pegol; LS, least squares; MMRM, mixed effect model for repeated measures; mTSS, modified total Sharp score; PBO: Placebo; Q2W, every 2 weeks.
