N is the number of patients per group in the Full Analysis Set; the number of patients evaluable for each baseline characteristic may be fewer than N.

*p≤0.05, **p<0.01, ***p<0.001 compared with placebo; results at month 3 were based on a repeated -measures model including data up to month 3 for tofacitinib 5 mg twice daily, tofacitinib 10 mg twice daily and combined placebo group without imputation for missing values.
