LSM (SE) is from analysis of covariance (ANCOVA), with missing data imputed via modified baseline observation carried forward (mBOCF). Mean (SD) at week 16 is from observed data from the blind-dose extended treatment group. Mean (SD) at week 52 is presented with missing data imputed via mBOCF

ADA 40 mg adalimumab every 2 weeks, ANCOVA analysis of covariance, IXE Q2W 80 mg ixekizumab every 2 weeks, IXE Q4W 80 mg ixekizumab every 4 weeks, LSM least squares mean, mBOCF modified baseline observation carried forward, N number of patients in the treatment group, Nx number of patients in the analysis subgroup, PBO placebo

p values were from ANCOVA (treatment vs. placebo) for week 16. *p < 0.05, p < 0.01, p < 0.001

aAbsenteeism, presenteeism, and overall work impairment were measured in patients reporting part- or full-time work

bAt week 16, patients receiving placebo (PBO) (COAST-V, COAST-W) or adalimumab (ADA) (COAST-V) were switched to ixekizumab (IXE) Q4W or Q2W. Data for IXE Q4W and IXE Q2W were combined for the PBO/IXE and ADA/IXE groups
