4. Subjects must have a baseline disease activity as defined by having an ASDAS ≥ 2.1 or a BASDAI ≥ 4
5. Subjects must be either NSAID-naïve or had not been treated with the maximal recommended dose during the last 2 weeks prior to the Baseline Visit.

E.4

Principal exclusion criteria

3. Prior exposure to any anti-TNF therapy; any biologic therapy with a potential therapeutic impact on SpA, or subject has been treated with any investigational drug of chemical or biologic nature within a minimum of 30 days or five half-lives (whichever is longer) of the drug prior to the Baseline Visit.
