  • 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.
