  • The response status is dichotomised from the change in mTSS that is imputed using LE or LOCF. Comparisons  analysed  using logistic regression model.

  • *These patients were initially randomised to placebo, but switched to baricitinib 4 mg at rescue or at week 24 prior to entry to RA-BEYOND.

  • †P ≤ 0.05 vs placebo.

  • Δ, change from baseline; LE, linear extrapolation; LOCF, last observation carried forward; mITT, modified intent-to-treat; mTSS , modified Total  Sharp Score; n, number of mITT patients; N-obs, number of patients with non-missing baseline and ≥1 non-missing postbaseline mTSS data included in analysis; SDC, smallest detectable change.
