Data are shown for the Safety Set during the combined double-blind, dose-blind and open-label periods of RAPID-PsA.
*Includes all patients exposed to ≥1 dose of CZP (including patients randomised to placebo re-randomised to CZP).
† Serious cardiac disorders reported are serious TEAEs within the ‘Cardiac Disorders’ system organ class.
‡ Malignancies, including lymphoma, were identified using the Standardised MedDRA Query, ‘malignancies.’
§ Deaths due to cardiac disorders or infection may have been associated with more than one event.
CZP, certolizumab pegol; ER, event rate per 100 patient-years; Q2W, every 2 weeks; Q4W, every 4 weeks; TEAE, treatment-emergent adverse event.
