Adverse Reactions in Adults with Plaque Psoriasis A total of 2234 subjects were treated with SKYRIZI in clinical development trials in plaque psoriasis. Of these, 1208 subjects with psoriasis were exposed to SKYRIZI for at least one year. Data from placebo- and active-controlled trials were pooled to evaluate the safety of SKYRIZI for up to 16 weeks. In total, 1306 subjects were evaluated in the SKYRIZI 150 mg group. Table 4 summarizes the adverse reactions that occurred at a rate of at least 1% and at a higher rate in the SKYRIZI group than the placebo group during the 16-week controlled period of pooled clinical trials. Table 4. Adverse Reactions Occurring in ≥ 1% of Adults with Plaque Psoriasis on SKYRIZI through Week 16 Adverse Drug Reactions SKYRIZI N = 1306 n (%) Placebo N = 300 n (%) Upper respiratory infections a 170 (13) 29 (9.7) Headache b 46 (3.5) 6 (2) Fatigue c 33 (2.5) 3 (1) Injection site reactions d 19 (1.5) 3 (1) Tinea infections e 15 (1.1) 1 (0.3) a Includes: respiratory tract infection (viral, bacterial or unspecified), sinusitis (including acute), rhinitis, nasopharyngitis, pharyngitis (including viral), tonsillitis b Includes: headache, tension headache, sinus headache, cervicogenic headache c Includes: fatigue, asthenia d Includes: injection site bruising, erythema, extravasation, hematoma, hemorrhage, infection, inflammation, irritation, pain, pruritus, reaction, swelling, warmth e Includes: tinea pedis, tinea cruris, body tinea, tinea versicolor, tinea manuum, tinea infection, onychomycosis Adverse reactions that occurred in < 1% but > 0.1% of subjects in the SKYRIZI group and at a higher rate than in the placebo group through Week 16 were folliculitis and urticaria. Specific Adverse Reactions Infections: In the first 16 weeks, infections occurred in 22.1% of the SKYRIZI group (90.8 events per 100 patient-years) compared with 14.7% of the placebo group (56.5 events per 100 patient-years) and did not lead to discontinuation of SKYRIZI. The rates of serious infections for the SKYRIZI group and the placebo group were ≤0.4%. Serious infections in the SKYRIZI group included cellulitis, osteomyelitis, sepsis, and herpes zoster. In Trials PsO-1 and PsO-2, through Week 52, the rate of infections (73.9 events per 100 patient-years) was similar to the rate observed during the first 16 weeks of treatment. Safety T hrough Week 52 Through Week 52, no new adverse reactions were identified, and the rates of the adverse reactions were similar to those observed during the first 16 weeks of treatment. During this period, serious infections that led to trial discontinuation included pneumonia. Plaque Psoriasis of the Scalp or Genital Area The overall safety profile observed in clinical trials of subjects with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis of the scalp or genital area treated with SKYRIZI is generally consistent with the safety profile observed in previous clinical trials of subjects with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis [see Clinical Studies ( 14.1 )] . Adverse Reactions in Pediatric Subjects 6 Years of Age and Older with Plaque Psoriasis The safety of SKYRIZI was evaluated in a four-part trial that included 137 pediatric subjects 6 years of age and older with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis [see Clinical Studies ( 14.1 )] . Overall, the safety profile observed in pediatric subjects 6 years of age and older treated with SKYRIZI for up to 52 weeks was consistent with the safety profile observed in adult subjects with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis. Adverse Reactions in Adult Subjects with Psoriatic Arthritis The overall safety profile observed in adult subjects with psoriatic arthritis treated with SKYRIZI is generally consistent with the safety profile in adult subjects with plaque psoriasis. Additionally, in the Phase 3 placebo-controlled trials the incidence of hepatic events was higher in the SKYRIZI group (5.4%, 16.7 events per 100 patient-years) compared to the placebo group (3.9%, 12.6 events per 100 patient-years). Of these, the most common events that were reported more frequently in both the placebo group and the SKYRIZI group were ALT increased (placebo: n=12 (1.7%); SKYRIZI: n=16 (2.3%)), AST increased (placebo: n=9 (1.3%); SKYRIZI: n=13 (1.8%)), and GGT increased (placebo: n=5 (0.7%); SKYRIZI: n=8 (1.1%)). There were no serious hepatic events reported. The incidence of hypersensitivity reactions was higher in the SKYRIZI group (n=16, 2.3%) compared to the placebo group (n=9, 1.3%). In the Phase 3 placebo-controlled trials, hypersensitivity reactions reported at a higher rate in the SKYRIZI group included rash (placebo: n=4 (0.6%); SKYRIZI: n=5 (0.7%)), allergic rhinitis (placebo: n=1 (0.1%); SKYRIZI: n=2 (0.3%)), and facial swelling (placebo: n=0 (0.0%); SKYRIZI n=1 (0.1%)). One case of anaphylaxis was reported in a subject who received SKYRIZI in the Phase 2 clinical trial. Adverse Reactions in Adult Subjects with Crohn’s Disease SKYRIZI was studied up to 12 weeks in subjects with moderately to severely active Crohn’s disease in two randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled induction trials (CD-1, CD-2) and a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-finding trial (CD-4; NCT02031276). Long-term safety up to 52 weeks was evaluated in subjects who responded to induction therapy in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled maintenance trial (CD-3) [see Clinical Studies ( 14.3 )] . In the two induction trials (CD-1, CD-2) and the dose finding trial (CD-4), 620 subjects received the SKYRIZI intravenous induction regimen at Weeks 0, 4 and 8. In the maintenance trial (CD-3), 297 subjects who achieved clinical response, defined as a reduction in CDAI of at least 100 points from baseline after 12 weeks of induction treatment with intravenous SKYRIZI in trials CD-1 and CD-2, received a maintenance regimen of SKYRIZI either 180 mg or 360 mg subcutaneously at Week 12 and every 8 weeks thereafter for up to an additional 52 weeks. Adverse reactions reported in > 3% of subjects in induction trials and at a higher rate than placebo are shown in Table 5. Table 5.

In this table, injection site reactions are counted only once per subject for the rate calculations. Specific Adverse Reactions Infections: In the maintenance trial (CD-3) through Week 52, the rate of infections was 32.3% (50.2 events per 100 patient-years) in subjects who received SKYRIZI 180 mg and 36.6% (60.8 events per 100 patient-years) in subjects who received SKYRIZI 360 mg compared to 36.4% (60.3 events per 100 patient-years) in subjects who received placebo after SKYRIZI induction. The rate of serious infections was 2.6% (2.7 events per 100 patient-years) in subjects who received SKYRIZI 180 mg and 5.6% (7.4 events per 100 patient-years) in subjects who received SKYRIZI 360 mg compared to 2.1% (2.4 events per 100 patient-years) in subjects who received placebo after SKYRIZI induction. Lipid Elevations: Elevations in lipid parameters (total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol [LDL-C]) were first assessed at 4 weeks following initiation of SKYRIZI in the induction trials (CD-1, CD-2). Increases from baseline and increases relative to placebo were observed at Week 4 and remained stable to Week 12. Following SKYRIZI induction, mean total cholesterol increased by 9.4 mg/dL from baseline to a mean absolute value of 175.1 mg/dL at Week 12. Similarly, mean LDL-C increased by 6.6 mg/dL from baseline to a mean absolute value of 92.6 mg/dL at Week 12. Mean LDL-C increased by 3.1 mg/dL from baseline to a mean absolute value of 99 mg/dL at Week 52 with SKYRIZI 180 mg maintenance treatment and by 2.3 mg/dL from baseline to a mean absolute value of 102.2 mg/dL at Week 52 with SKYRIZI 360 mg maintenance treatment (CD-3). Adverse Reactions in Adult Subjects with Ulcerative Colitis SKYRIZI was studied up to 12 weeks in subjects with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled induction trial (UC-1) and a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-finding trial (UC-3). Long-term safety up to 52 weeks was evaluated in subjects who responded to induction therapy in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled maintenance trial (UC-2) [see Clinical Studies ( 14.4 )]. In the induction trials (UC-1 and UC-3), 712 subjects received the SKYRIZI 1,200 mg intravenous induction regimen at Weeks 0, 4 and 8. In the maintenance trial (UC-2), 347 subjects who achieved clinical response, defined as a decrease in mMS of ≥2 points and ≥30% from baseline and a decrease in RBS ≥1 from baseline or an absolute RBS ≤1, received a maintenance regimen of SKYRIZI either 180 mg or 360 mg subcutaneously at Week 12 and every 8 weeks thereafter for up to an additional 52 weeks. The adverse reaction reported in ≥3% subjects treated with SKYRIZI in the ulcerative colitis induction trials (UC-1 and UC-3) and at a higher rate than placebo was arthralgia (3% SKYRIZI vs 1% placebo). Adverse reactions reported in ≥3% of subjects treated with SKYRIZI in the maintenance trial (UC-2) and at a higher rate than placebo are shown in Table 7. Table 7.
