E.2 Objective of the trial

E.2.1

Main objective of the trial

The primary objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of ustekinumab, in adult anti-TNFα refractory subjects with active radiographic AxSpA, as measured by the reduction in signs and symptoms of radiographic AxSpA.

E.2.2

Secondary objectives of the trial

The secondary objectives are to assess the effect of treatment with ustekinumab in anti-TNFα refractory
subjects with active radiographic AxSpA on the following:
• Efficacy related to improving physical function, range of motion, health-related quality of life, and other health outcomes.
• Safety.
• Pharmacokinetics (PK) and immunogenicity.

Principal inclusion criteria

Participants must have a diagnosis of definite ankylosing spondylitis (AS), as defined by the modified 1984 New York criteria. The radiographic criterion must be confirmed by a central xray reader and at least 1 clinical criterion must be met
- Participants must have symptoms of active disease at screening and at
baseline, as evidenced by both a Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI) score of greaterthan or equal to (>=4) and a visual analog scale (VAS) score for total back pain of >=4, each on a scale of 0 to 10
- Participants with elevated high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) level of >=0.300 milligram per deciliter (mg/dL) at screening - Refractory by either lack of benefit or documented intolerance to 1 and no more than 1 anti-TNF(alpha) agent - Inadequate response to at least 2 nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) over a 4-week period in total with maximal doses of NSAID(s), or is unable to receive a full 4 weeks of maximal NSAID therapy because of intolerance, toxicity, or contraindications to NSAIDs.
- Participants with complete ankylosis of the spine are permitted to be included in the study, but will be limited to approximately 10 percent (%) of the study population

E.4

Principal exclusion criteria

- Participants who have other inflammatory diseases that might confound
the evaluations of benefit from the ustekinumab therapy, including but not limited to, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, or Lyme disease
- Participants who have received infliximab or infliximab biosimilar, within 12 weeks of the first study agent administration; have received adalimumab, adalimumab biosimilar, or certolizumab pegol within 6 weeks of the first study agent administration; have received etanercept or etanercept biosimilar within 6 weeks of the first study agent administration
- Participants who have ever received golimumab
- Participants who are pregnant, nursing, or planning a pregnancy or fathering a child while enrolled in the study or within 5 months after receiving the last administration of study agent
- Participants who have received any systemic immunosuppressives or disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) other than methotrexate (MTX), sulfasalazine (SSZ), or hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) within 4 weeks prior to first
administration of study agent. Medications in these categories include, but are not limited to leflunomide, chloroquine, azathioprine, cyclosporine, mycophenolate mofetil, gold, and penicillamine

E.5 End points

E.5.1

Primary end point(s)

The primary endpoint is the proportion of subjects who achieve an ASAS 40 response at Week 24.

Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point

Week 24

E.5.2

Secondary end point(s)

To control for multiplicity for the primary endpoint analysis and the major secondary endpoint analyses, the 4 major secondary analyses listed below will be performed sequentially contingent upon the success of the primary statistical analysis in that treatment group comparison. Otherwise, the p-values for the
subsequent endpoints will be considered as supportive analyses. The following prespecified order will be used to analyze the major secondary endpoints.
-The proportion of subjects who achieve an ASAS 20 at Week 24.
-The proportion of subjects who achieve at least a 50% improvement from baseline in BASDAI at Week 24.
-The change from baseline in BASFI at Week 24.
-The proportion of subjects who achieve ASDAS (CRP) inactive disease (<1.3) at Week 24.
