PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and Week 104

Population: The OASIS cohort is a historical control group of Dutch, French, and Belgian patients with AS who have been followed up since 1996. These patients participated in a follow-up study on the natural course of AS with conventional (non-biologic) treatment.

Radiographic progression was based on change in mSASSS scoring (comparison of the means) from double-blind Baseline visit to Week 104. The mSASSS is the sum of the lumbar and cervical spine score ( 0 \[no change\] to 72 \[progression\]), derived from scoring the anterior site of the lumbar spine (T12 to S1) and the cervical spine (C2 to T1) as either 0 (normal), 1 (erosion, sclerosis, or squaring), 2 (syndesmophyte), 3 (bridging syndesmophyte), or N (vertebral body not evaluable). Data from NCT00195819 was compared with data from AS patients in OASIS.

Population: Any Adalimumab Set - includes all subjects who received at least one injection of adalimumab during the Study, in either the double-blind or the open label portion. 38 randomized to 40 mg adalimumab every other week (eow) and 44 randomized to placebo. The Any Adalimumab Set will be analyzed by duration of exposure (weeks) to adalimumab.

BASFI consist of a set of 10 questions designed to determine the degree of functional limitation in subjects with AS. The BASFI score was derived based on the average of questions 1 through 10. The first 8 questions considered activities related to functional anatomy and the final 2 questions assessed the subject's ability to cope with everyday life over the last week. A 10 cm visual analog scale (VAS) was used to answer the questions and the mean of the ten scales gave the BASFI score a value between 0 (easy) and 10 (impossible).

Population: Any Adalimumab Set - includes all subjects who received at least one injection of adalimumab during the Study, in either the double-blind or the open label portion. 38 randomized to 40 mg adalimumab every other week (eow) and 44 randomized to placebo. The Any Adalimumab Set will be analyzed by duration of exposure (weeks) to adalimumab.

The BASDAI is a questionnaire with 6 questions that subject completes by marking answers on a 10-cm Visual Analog Scale (VAS) during the last week with responses that range from 0 (none) to 100 (very severe) and measures severity of fatigue, spinal and peripheral joint pain, localized tenderness and morning stiffness. The final BASDAI score ranges from 0 (none) to 10 (severe). A decrease in BASDAI represents improvement. BASDAI Scoring: 1) Measure each item of the BASDAI in centimeters (out of a total of 10) 2) BASDAI Score = 0.2 (Item 1 + Item 2 + Item 3 + Item 4 + Item 5/2 + Item 6/2).

BASMI measures the range of motion based on five clinical measurements: 1) cervical rotation, 2) tragus to wall distance, 3) lumbar side flexion, 4) lumbar flexion (modified Schober's) and 5) intermalleolar distance. BASMI 0 = indicates mild disease involvement, 1 = moderate disease, and 2 = severe disease involvement. The results for cervical rotation and lumbar side flexion are the means of the left and right measurements. Scoring range 0-10. The higher the BASMI score, the more severe was the subject's limitation of movement due to their AS.

The EDASMI is a composite spinal mobility index comprised of 4 measures: 1) cervical rotation, 2) lumbar side flexion, 3) chest expansion, and 4) hip internal rotation spread. A grade of 0-4 scoring system was developed for each of the measures. The sum of 4 items (range 0 to 16) provide the EDASMI score. Decrease in EDASMI represents improvement. All EDASMI measures were done with a simple tape measure and recorded in centimeters (cm) by a rheumatologist and a clinician nurse.

The patient is in a sitting position on the examination table with the hands on the hips. A pen mark is made at the xiphisternum and a tape measure placed around the circumference of the patient's chest at this level. The patient is asked to take a deep breath and to exhale as completely as possible while looking directly ahead. The measurement (in cm) is noted. The patient is asked to inhale as deeply as possible and the measurement (in cm) is noted. The difference in the 2 measurement points (in cm) constitutes the value for CE. An increase in chest expansion represents improvement

BAS-G consisted of two questions that asked the subject to indicate, on a 10 cm VAS, the effect the disease had on their well being over 1) last week, and 2) last 6 months. BAS-G was measured by two VAS scores (0 to 100 mm) to reflect the effect of Ankylosing Spondylitis on subject's well-being over the past week and over the last 6 months, respectively. The average of these two scores was reported. The mean of the two scores give a BAS-G score of 0-10.

For each question subject rates his/her condition for the past week on a 5-point scale ranging from 0 (not at all) to 4 (very much). The score ranges from 0 (highest level of fatigue) to 52 with 52 being the lowest level of fatigue.

Change from baseline in Health Utility Index Mark 3 (HUI-3) was reported. The HUI-3 is a generic approach to the measurement of health status and assessment of HRQL. The HUI-3 was comprised of two complementary components. The first component was a multi-attribute health status classification system that was used to describe health status. The second component was a multi-attribute utility function that was used to value health status as measured within the corresponding multi-attribute health status classification system. An increase in the HUI-3 score represents improvement.

Completed by subject at each visit. The MCIS was a patient reported outcome where the subjects were expected to respond (yes/no) to the following question: Considering all the different ways your disease is affecting you, if you would stay in this state for the next months, do you consider that your current state is satisfactory? An increase in PASS indicates improvement. During earlier weeks of the study PASS was measured/reported as minimal clinically important state (MCIS).

Timeframe: Week 12 and Week 52

Population: Intent-to-treat (ITT) - analysis of all subjects with at least one Baseline MRI were included in the ITT population.

The S.P.A.R.C.C. MRI index is a tool for scoring inflammation and structural damage in both the spine and sacroiliac (SI) joints. The spinal SPARCC index score consists of 3 subscales (edema, intense edema, and deep edema). Edema was defined as the presence of increased STIR signal in each of 4 Discovertebral unit (DVU) quadrants and was assigned a score (0 = normal signal, 1 = increased signal). The scoring of edema was repeated for each of 3 consecutive sagittal slices with a maximum score of 12 per DVU (range for edema, 0-72). The total spinal SPARCC index score is 0 to 108.
