Responders are those who showed BASDAI 50 response. Change in BASDAI data for biologic-naïve patients was not available for SEC and CER P and was assumed to be equivalent to the average of other biologics in the NMA. Change in BASFI data for biologic-naïve patients for CER P was not available and was assumed to be equivalent to the average of other biologics in the NMA (excluding SEC).
