The FACIT-Fatigue instrument is a questionnaire used to evaluate a range of self-reported symptoms over the past week, from mild subjective feelings of tiredness to an overwhelming, debilitating, and sustained sense of exhaustion that likely decreases one's ability to execute daily activities and function normally in family or social roles. Fatigue is divided into the experience of fatigue (frequency, duration, and intensity) and the impact of fatigue on physical, mental, and social activities. The questionnaire is composed of 13 questions (Short Form 13a) and each question is scored from 1 to 5. The final score results from the sum of the scores of the 13 questions, and ranges from 13 (most desirable outcome) to 65 (least desirable outcome). Adjusted change represents a change from baseline based on statistical model.

The HAQ-DI is measured by the use of a patient-reported outcome measure questionnaire, assessing the degree of difficulty a person has experienced during the past week in 8 domains of daily living activities. Each activity category consists of 2 to 3 questions (total of 20 questions). For reach question the level of activity is scored from 0 to 3, with 0 representing no difficulty and 3 as unable to do. Any activity that requires assistance from another individual or an assistive device adjusts to a minimum score of 2. For each activity category, the highest score reported in the 2 or 3 questions pertinent to that category represents the category score. Scores from the 8 categories are then summed and divided by 8 to generate the final score. The final score can range from 0 (most desirable outcome) to 3 (least desirable outcome). Adjusted change represents a change from baseline based on statistical model.

The Leeds Dactylitis Index (LDI) Basic is a quantitative measurement of dactylitis in the 20 digits using a dactylometer. The circumference of the affected and contralateral digits, and tenderness of the affected digits are measured to generate a total score. For each dactylitic digit, the final score is defined as: \[{(A/B) - 1}\*100\]\*C, where A is circumference of involved digit, B is circumference of the opposite, unaffected, digit or reference, and C is tenderness (0 or 1). The total score is determined by summing the relative score of all digits. A higher score indicates worse dactylitis. Adjusted change represents a change from baseline based on statistical model.

Time frame: From baseline (day of first dose) to 16 weeks after first dose

Population: All treated participants with LDI score \> 0 at baseline

The SF-36 is a patient-reported outcome measure, which includes 36 items in a Likert-type format to measure the following 8 health dimensions over the past week: 1) limitations in physical activities, such as bathing or dressing 2) limitations in social activities because of physical or emotional problems 3) limitations in usual role activities because of physical health problems 4) bodily pain 5) general mental health (psychological distress and well-being) 6) limitations in usual role activities because of emotional problems 7) vitality (energy and fatigue) and 8) general health perceptions. The 8 health dimensions assessed are grouped into 2 main components, physical and mental. Each of the 8 dimensions contribute to both the Physical Component Summary (PCS) score and the Mental Component Summary (MCS) score. PCS and MCS scores range from 0 to 100, with high scores indicating a better health status. Adjusted change represents a change from baseline based on statistical model.
