Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Diagnostic Delay [Baseline (Month 0)]
Time of diagnostic delay, defined as the time in months from first symptoms to diagnosis, and reasons for this delay.
- Prevalence of Axial Versus Peripheral Manifestations According to Assessment of Spondyloarthritis Classification (ASAS) Criteria [Up to visit 5 (Approximately 24 months)]
The ASAS criteria distinguish axial from peripheral SpA. ASAS criteria for axial SpA: chronic back pain (>=3 months) with onset at age <45 years, and include imaging and clinical arm. Imaging criteria: must have sacroiliitis visible on either pelvic radiograph (representing the Ankylosing Spondylitis subgroup) or active inflammation detected by Magnetic Resonance Imagining (MRI) of the sacroiliac joints, and at least one other feature of SpA. Clinical criteria: should be Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) B27 positive and have at least two other SpA associated features. ASAS criteria for peripheral manifestations: must have arthritis, dactylitis or enthesitis in combination with either at least one of psoriasis, inflammatory bowel disease, uveitis, preceding genitourinary or gastro intestinal infection, HLA B27 positivity or sacroiliitis, or with two or more of arthritis, dactylitis, enthesitis, inflammatory back pain (at any time in the participant's history) or a family history of SpA.
- Effectiveness for cDMARDs, tDMARDs, bDMARDs: Assessed by ASDAS Score [Up to visit 5 (Approximately 24 months)]
The ASDAS is composite score based on the calculation of 5 disease activities: 4 are participant's reported outcomes (back pain, duration of morning stiffness, participant global and peripheral pain/swelling) and one serologic inflammation marker (C-reactive protein [CRP]). The score is the sum of the 5 items with different specified weights, with a minimum of 0 and no upper limit. Thus this index can reflect both long term disease activity and acute phase status. There are 2 cut-offs in score to show: a) the 4 states of disease activity: inactive disease (less than [<] 1.3), moderate disease activity (1.3-2.1), high disease activity (2.1-3.5) and very high disease activity (greater than [>] 3.5). b) effectiveness of the treatment, two validated cut-offs were developed: a change of 1.1-2.0 (clinically important improvement) and a change >2.0 (major improvement).
- Effectiveness for cDMARDs, tDMARDs, bDMARDs: Assessed by BASMI Score [Up to visit 5 (Approximately 24 months)]
The Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Metrology Index (BASMI) is an index for measuring the mobility of the axial skeleton in participant affected by ankylosing spondylitis (AS). This index consists of 5 clinical measurements, including lumber side flexion, tragus to wall distance, lumbar flexion, intermalleoar distance and cervical rotation. Individual scores are averaged to give a final score between 0 and 10. A higher BASMI10 score reflects more severe spinal mobility limitation.
- Effectiveness for cDMARDs, tDMARDs, bDMARDs: Assessed by DAS28 Score [Up to visit 5 (Approximately 24 month)]
The Disease Activity and functional status assessment (DAS) 28 score is a measure of the participant's disease activity calculated using the tender joint count (TJC) [28 joints], swollen joint count (SJC) [28 joints], participant's global assessment of disease activity [visual analog scale: 0 = no disease activity to 100 = maximum disease activity] and the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) for a total possible score of 0 to approximately 10. Scores below 2.6 indicate best disease control and scores above 5.1 indicate worse disease control. A negative change from Baseline indicated improvement. European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) Good response: DAS28 less than or equal to (<=) 3.2 or a change from Baseline less than (<) -1.2. EULAR Moderate response: DAS28 greater than (>) 3.2 to <= 5.1 or a change from Baseline < -0.6 to greater than or equal to (>=) -1.2.
- Effectiveness for cDMARDs, tDMARDs, bDMARDs: Assessed by Disease Activity Index for PsA (DAPSA) Score [Up to visit 5 (Approximately 24 months)]
The DAPSA score will be calculated by the data collection tool and is the sum of the following: Participant's assessment of pain on visual analog scale (VAS) (in centimeters), Participant's Global Assessment of Disease Activity on VAS, 66 and 68 joint counts for swelling and tenderness, respectively. Joints assessed include the distal interphalangeal (DIP), proximal interphalangeal (PIP), and metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joints of the hands; the wrist, elbow, shoulder, acromioclavicular, sternoclavicular, temporomandibular, hip (excluded for swelling), knee, ankle, and midtarsal joints; and the metatarsophalangeal and PIP joints of the feet. CRP level in milligrams per deciliters (mg/dL). Cutoff values for low and high disease activity are <= 18.5 and >= 45.1 points, 25 respectively, and for remission is <= 3.3 points.
- Effectiveness for cDMARDs, tDMARDs, bDMARDs: Assessed by MDA [Up to visit 5 (Approximately 24 months)]
Minimal Disease Activity (MDA) is a state of disease activity deemed a useful target of treatment by both the participant and physician. The goal of the development of this instrument is to "treat to target" to achieve disease remission or low disease activity state. For a participant to achieve MDA, 5 of the following 7 criteria must be met: Tender joint count =<1; Swollen joint count =<1; Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) =<1 or Body surface area (BSA) =<3; Participant pain VAS =<15; Participant global activity VAS =<20; HAQ =<0.5; Tender enthesial points =<1.
- Drug Retention for cDMARDs, tDMARDs and bDMARDs [Up to visit 5 (Approximately 24 months)]

- Number of Participants With Adverse Events as a Measure of Safety and Tolerability [Up to visit 5 (Approximately 24 months)]
An adverse event is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the investigational drug under study.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Score (ASDAS) C-reactive Protein (CRP) [Up to visit 5 (Approximately 24 month)]
The ASDAS is an index for measuring disease activity in participant affected by ankylosing spondylitis. The ASDAS-CRP is derived from back pain, duration of morning stiffness, general well being, C-reactive protein (CRP) and peripheral joint pain/swelling. Total score ranges from zero (reflecting no disease activity) with the upper end of the scale being determined by the level of CRP. The scores were categorized as follows : inactive disease (< 1.3), moderate (1.3 - < 2.1), high (2.1 - 3.5) and very high disease activity (> 3.5).
- Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Metrology Index (BASMI) 10 [Up to visit 5 (Approximately 24 month)]
The BASMI is an index for measuring the mobility of the axial skeleton in participant affected by ankylosing spondylitis. This index consists of 5 clinical measurements, including lumber side flexion, tragus to wall distance, lumbar flexion, intermalleoar distance and cervical rotation. Individual scores are averaged to give a final score between 0 and 10. A higher BASMI10 score reflects more severe spinal mobility limitation.
- Disease Activity Score (DAS) 28 [Up to visit 5 (Approximately 24 month)]
The DAS 28 is a composite score derived from the following 4 measures. The index considers four parameters to obtain the total score: Count the number of swollen joints (out of the 28); Count the number of tender joints (out of the 28); C-reactive protein (CRP) expressed in milligram per milliLitre (mg/mL); Participant's Global Assessment of disease activity.
- Disease Activity Index for Psoriatic Arthritis (DAPSA) [Up to visit 5 (Approximately 24 month)]
The DAPSA is a score used to measure disease activity in participant affected by psoriatic arthritis. It comprises: 68 tender and 66 swollen joints count; Participant global assessment of health; Participant pain Visual analogue scale (VAS); C-reactive protein level (milligram per deciLiter [mg/dl]).
- Minimal Disease Activity (MDA) [Up to visit 5 (Approximately 24 month)]
The MDA is a state of disease activity deemed a useful target of treatment by both the participant and physician. For a participant to achieve MDA, 5 of the following 7 criteria must be met: Tender joint count less than or equal to (<=) 1; Swollen joint count <= 1; PASI <= 1 or BSA <= 3; Participant pain VAS <= 15; Participant global activity VAS <= 20; Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) <= 0.5; Tender enthesial points <= 1.
- Body Surface Area (BSA) [Up to visit 5 (Approximately 24 month)]
The overall BSA affected by psoriasis is estimated based on the palm area of the participant's hand (entire palmar surface or "handprint" which equates to approximately 1 % of total body surface area. The disease severity will be classified using the following categories: mild (BSA less than [<] 3 %), moderate (BSA from 3% to 10%), and severe (BSA more than [>] 10 %).
- Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index (BASFI) [Up to visit 5 (Approximately 24 month)]
The BASFI is used to define and monitor physical functioning in participants with ankylosing spondylitis. BASFI is composed by 10 items. Score range is 0-10, with 0 (easy), reflecting no functional impairments, and 10 (impossible), reflecting maximal impairment.
- Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI) [Up to visit 5 (Approximately 24 month)]
The BASDAI is used to measure participant reported disease activity in participants with ankylosing spondylitis. A numeric response scale (0-10) with "none" and "very severe" is used to answer. The final score ranges from 0 (no disease activity) to 10 (maximal disease activity). A cut off of 4 is used to define active disease.
- Health Assessment Questionnaire - Disability Index (HAQ-DI) [Up to visit 5 (Approximately 24 month)]
The HAQ-DI is used to assess the physical functioning of the participant.The participant is required to indicate the degree of difficulty they have experienced, in each 8 items of the questionnaire, in the past week, in a 4 point scale. The responses in each functional area are: 0 = able to do with no difficulty; 1 = able to do with some difficulty; 2 = able to do with much difficulty; and 3 = unable to do. The 10 individual subscale scores are averaged to give a summary score. The range of the final calculates summary score is 0-3 where lower scores are indicative of better functioning and higher score reflects worse function. HAQ-DI scores of 0 to 1 generally represent mild to moderate functional difficulty, 1 to 2 represent moderate to severe functional difficulty, and 2 to 3 indicate severe to very severe limitations of physical function or disability.
- Work Productivity and Activity Impairment Questionnaire (WPAI-SHP) [Up to visit 5 (Approximately 24 month)]
The WPAI is a validated, self administered questionnaire that assesses work and activity impairment during the past 7 days. The WPAI-SHP outcomes are expressed as impairment percentages; with higher numbers indicate greater impairment and less productivity, that is, worse outcomes.
Other Outcome Measures
