SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and 3 years

Population: Full Analysis Set

The Extended MRI Scale total score has a range between 0 (normal unaffected joint) to 45 (maximal joint damage) points. It is composed of 2 domains, the soft tissue domain with a maximum of 9 points and the osteochondral domain with a maximum of 36 points. A single score for each subject was to be calculated from the sum of both domains and the average over all joints for the Extended MRI endpoint. Higher MRI score denotes greater joint structure damage thus a positive change from baseline means worsening.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and 3 years

Population: Full Analysis Set

The total joint score is derived for each of six joints: left and right sides for knees (score: 0-25), ankles (score: 0-25), and elbows (score: 0-21). Higher CAJAS (Colorado Adult Joint Assessment Scale) score denotes greater joint structure damage thus a positive change from baseline means worsening. CAJAS total score is the sum of all 6 joints, ranging from 0 (best possible outcome) to 142 (worst possible outcome).

OTHER_PRE_SPECIFIED outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and 3 years

Population: Full Analysis Set

The Haemo-QoL-A total score as well as each of its domains have a range between 0 (worst Quality of Life) and 100 (best Quality of Life) points. Therefore, a higher Haemo-QoL-A score denotes greater Quality of Life.
