ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryPercentage of Participants Achieving Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) American College of Rheumatology (ACR) 30 (Ixekizumab - OLT Period)Week 16
JIA ACR, is comprised of 6 variables: number of active joints, number of joints with limited range of motion, Physician's Global Assessment of Disease Activity, Parent's Global Assessment of Well-Being, physical function (measured by the Childhood Health Assessment Questionnaire \[CHAQ\]), and acute-phase reactants (high-sensitivity C-reactive protein \[hsCRP\] and erythrocyte sedimentation rate \[ESR\]). A JIA ACR30 response is defined as at least 30% improvement from baseline in at least 3 of any 6 variables in the core set, with no more than 1 of the remaining variables worsening by more than 30%.
SecondaryPercentage of Participants Achieving JIA ACR 30 (Adalimumab - OLT Period)Week 16
JIA ACR, is comprised of 6 variables: number of active joints, number of joints with limited range of motion, Physician's Global Assessment of Disease Activity, Parent's Global Assessment of Well-Being, physical function (measured by the Childhood Health Assessment Questionnaire \[CHAQ\]), and acute-phase reactants (high-sensitivity C-reactive protein \[hsCRP\] and erythrocyte sedimentation rate \[ESR\]). A JIA ACR30 response is defined as at least 30% improvement from baseline in at least 3 of any 6 variables in the core set, with no more than 1 of the remaining variables worsening by more than 30%.
SecondaryPercentage of Participants Achieving JIA ACR 50/70/90/100 (OLT Period)Week 16
JIA ACR, is comprised of 6 core set variables: number of active joints, number of joints with limited range of motion, Physician's Global Assessment of Disease Activity, Parent's Global Assessment of Well-Being, physical function (measured by the Childhood Health Assessment Questionnaire \[CHAQ\]), and acute-phase reactants (high-sensitivity C-reactive protein \[hsCRP\] and erythrocyte sedimentation rate \[ESR\]). A JIA ACR 50/70/90 response is defined as a greater than or equal to (≥) 50/70/90/100% improvement from baseline in at least 3 of any 6 variables in the core set, with no more than 1 of the remaining variables worsening by more than 30%.
SecondaryPercentage of Participants Achieving JIA ACR 30/50/70/90/100 (OLE Period)Week 104

SecondaryChange From Baseline in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) for Juvenile Psoriatic Arthritis (JPsA) Participants With at Least 3% Body Surface Area (BSA) at Baseline (OLT Period)Baseline, Week 16
The PASI is an index that combines assessments of the extent of body-surface involvement in 4 anatomical regions (head, trunk, arms, and legs) and the severity of scaling (S), redness (R), and plaque induration/infiltration thickness (T) in each region, yielding an overall score of 0 for no psoriasis to 72 for the most severe disease. Severity is rated for each index (R, S, T) on a 0 to 4 scale (0 for no involvement up to 4 for severe involvement): 0 = none 1. = slight 2. = moderate 3. = severe 4. = very severe The various body regions are weighted to reflect their respective proportion of BSA.

SecondaryChange From Baseline in Leeds Enthesitis Index (LEI) for Participants With Enthesitis Related Arthritis (ERA) at Baseline (OLT Period)Baseline, Week 16
The LEI was developed specifically for use in psoriatic arthritis (PsA). It measures enthesitis at 6 sites (lateral epicondyle of humerus, right/left (R/L); medial femoral condyle, (R/L); Achilles tendon insertion, (R/L)). Each site is assigned a score of 0 (absent) or 1 (present); the results from each site are then added to produce a total score (range 0 to 6) with the higher scores indicating more severe enthesitis.

The LEI was developed specifically for use in psoriatic arthritis (PsA). It measures enthesitis at 6 sites (lateral epicondyle of humerus, right/left (R/L); medial femoral condyle, (R/L); Achilles tendon insertion, (R/L)). Each site is assigned a score of 0 (absent) or 1 (present); the results from each site are then added to produce a total score (range 0 to 6) with the higher scores indicating more severe enthesitis.
SecondaryPercentage of Participants With Disease Flare (OLT Period)Week 2 through Week 16
Disease flare is defined as worsening of ≥30% from baseline in at least 3 of the 6 JIA ACR core set criteria and an improvement of ≥30% in no more than one of the criteria. The JIA ACR, is comprised of 6 core set variables: number of active joints, number of joints with limited range of motion, Physician's Global Assessment of Disease Activity, Parent's Global Assessment of Well-Being, physical function (measured by the Childhood Health Assessment Questionnaire \[CHAQ\]), and acute-phase reactants (high-sensitivity C-reactive protein \[hsCRP\] and erythrocyte sedimentation rate \[ESR\]).

Non responder Imputation (NRI) is applied for inadequate responders and participants who had missing data at Week 16 for any reason including discontinuation. As per the pre-specified statistical analysis plan, outcomes were analyzed and reported by treatment regimen, as exposure was the same across the different treatment groups.

All randomized participants who received at least one dose of study drug with baseline psoriatic lesion(s) involving ≥3% BSA. For missing post-baseline values for subjects who discontinued the study drug due to adverse events, imputation was performed using the Modified Baseline Observation Carried Forward (mBOCF) method. As per the pre-specified statistical analysis plan, outcomes were analyzed and reported by treatment regimen, as exposure was the same across the different treatment groups.
