Summary

This protocol includes 2 standalone studies with randomization, data collection, analysis and reporting conducted independently.

The main objectives of this protocol are:

* To assess the safety and tolerability of upadacitinib in adults with active axSpA including bDMARD-IR AS (Study 1) and nr-axSpA (Study 2).
* To evaluate the safety and tolerability of upadacitinib in extended treatment in adult participants with active axSpA including bDMARD-IR AS who have completed the Double-Blind Period (Study 1) and nr-axSpA who have completed the Double-Blind Period (Study 2).
* To evaluate the maintenance of disease control after withdrawal of upadacitinib.
