a

All patients received a stable dose of one background csDMARD.

b

All patients had not previously received a TNFi, except one patient randomized to placebo who received etanercept prior to enrollment.

c

All patients had an inadequate response to ≥ 1 TNFi.

d

Based on elevated waist circumference; waist circumference thresholds are population‐ and country‐specific (2).

e

Baseline concomitant lipid‐lowering medications were defined as drugs taken at baseline (Day 1).

f

Upper limit of normal.

g

PASI was assessed only in patients with baseline BSA ≥ 3% and PASI > 0.

h

Baseline LEI was summarized only for patients with baseline LEI > 0.

i

Baseline DSS was summarized only for patients with baseline DSS > 0.
