Clinical disease activity in axial spondyloarthritis. Changes in clinical disease activity parameters during treatment with nilotinib or placebo from week 0 until week 12, and during the open label extension phase with nilotinib from week 12 until week 24 in patients with axial spondyloarthritis. The panel represents the median (interquartile range) in patient’s global assessment of disease activity (a), physician’s global assessment of disease activity (b), bath ankylosing spondylitis disease activity index (BASDAI) (c), ankylosing spondylitis disease activity score (ASDAS) (d), and the percentage of patients achieving a BASDAI50 response (e), and ASDAS clinically important improvement (f). *P value <0.05 compared to baseline
