Each activity category consists of 2-3 items. For each question in the questionnaire, the level of difficulty is scored from 0 to 3 with 0 representing no difficulty, 1 as some difficulty, 2 as much difficulty, and 3 as unable to do. Any activity that requires assistance from another individual or requires the use of an assistive device adjusts to a minimum score of 2 to represent a more limited functional status. Overall score was computed as the sum of domain scores and divided by the number of domains answered. Total possible score range was 0 to 3, with a higher score indicating more difficulty in performing daily living activities. A negative change from baseline represents improvement. | Baseline, Weeks 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 28, 36, 44 and 52 |

Participants responded to each item on a 5-point scale based on their experience of fatigue during the past 7 days (0 = not at all; 1 = a little bit; 2 =somewhat; 3 = quite a bit; 4 = very much). Instrument scoring yielded a range from 0 to 52 (negatively worded items were reversed during analysis), with higher scores representing better participant status (less fatigue). | Baseline, Weeks 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 28, 36, 44 and 52 | 
| Change From Baseline in the Short-Form-36 Health Survey (SF-36) Version 2, Acute at Weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 28, 36, 44 and 52 | The SF-36 version 2 (Acute version) is a 36-item generic health status measure. It measures 8 general health concepts or domains: Physical Functioning (PF), Role-Physical (RP), Bodily Pain (BP), General Health (GH), Vitality (VT), Social Functioning (SF), Role-Emotional (RE), and Mental Health (MH). These 8 domains can also be summarized as physical and mental component scores. The summary component scores, Physical Component Summary (PCS) and Mental Component Summary (MCS), are based on a normalized sum of the 8 scale scores PF, RP, BP, GH, VT, SF, RE, and MH. All domains and summary components are scored such that a higher score indicates a higher functioning or health level. The minimum and maximum scores of the PCS Score are 22 and 59 respectively. The minimum and maximum scores of the MCS Score are 11 and 62 respectively. | Baseline, Weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 28, 36, 44 and 52 |

| Change From Baseline in the Psoriatic Arthritis Disease Activity Score (PASDAS) at Weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 28, 36, 44 and 52 | PASDAS is a composite psoriatic arthritis disease activity score that includes the following components: patient's global joint and skin assessment (visual analog scale in mm), physician's global psoriatic arthritis assessment (visual analog scale in mm), swollen (66 joints) and tender joint counts (68 joints), Leeds Enthesitis Index score, tender dactylitic digit score, physical component summary score (PCS) of Short Form 36 Health Survey and C-reactive protein (mg/L). Any missing component would result in PASDAS as missing. A higher PASDAS score indicates a higher disease activity. | Baseline, Weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 28, 36, 44 and 52 | 
| Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) From Baseline (Day 1) Through Week 56 (All Causalities) | Treatment-emergent AEs are those with initial onset or that worsen in severity after the first dose of the study medication. All AEs in the table below were treatment-emergent AEs. An SAE is any untoward medical occurrence at any dose that: results in death; is life threatening (immediate risk of death); requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity (substantial disruption of the ability to conduct normal life functions); results in congenital anomaly/birth defect; or that is considered to be an important medical event that may jeopardize the participant or may require intervention to prevent one of the other AE outcomes. Severe AEs were defined as AEs that interfered significantly with participant's usual function. Both SAEs and severe AEs were according to the investigator's assessment. | Baseline (Day 1) through Week 56 | 
| Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) From Baseline (Day 1) Through Week 56 (Treatment-related) | Treatment-emergent AEs are those with initial onset or that worsen in severity after the first dose of the study medication. All AEs in the table below were treatment-emergent AEs. An SAE is any untoward medical occurrence at any dose that: results in death; is life threatening (immediate risk of death); requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity (substantial disruption of the ability to conduct normal life functions); results in congenital anomaly/birth defect; or that is considered to be an important medical event that may jeopardize the participant or may require intervention to prevent one of the other AE outcomes. Severe AEs were defined as AEs that interfered significantly with participant's usual function. Both SAEs and severe AEs were according to the investigator's assessment. Treatment-related AEs were also determined by the investigator. | Baseline (Day 1) through Week 56 | 
| Number of Participants Who Discontinued From Study Due to Treatment-emergent AEs From Baseline (Day 1) Through Week 56 | An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a study participant administered a product or medical device; the event need not necessarily have a causal relationship with the treatment or usage. Treatment-emergent AEs were those with initial onset or that worsen in severity after the first dose of the study medication. | Baseline (Day 1) through Week 56 |
