SKYRIZI is contraindicated in patients with a history of serious hypersensitivity reaction to risankizumab-rzaa or any of the excipients ( 4 )

Warnings and cautions

5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Hypersensitivity Reactions: Serious hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, may occur. ( 5.1 ) Infections: SKYRIZI may increase the risk of infection. Instruct patients to seek medical advice if signs or symptoms of clinically important infection occur. If such an infection develops, do not administer SKYRIZI until the infection resolves. ( 5.2 ) Tuberculosis (TB): Evaluate for TB prior to initiating treatment with SKYRIZI. ( 5.3 ) Hepatotoxicity: Drug-induced liver injury during induction treatment of inflammatory bowel disease has been reported. Monitor liver enzymes and bilirubin levels at baseline and, during induction, up to at least 12 weeks of treatment. Monitor thereafter according to routine patient management. ( 5.4 ) Immunizations: Avoid use of live vaccines. ( 5.5 ) 5.1 Hypersensitivity Reactions Serious hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, have been reported with use of SKYRIZI. If a serious hypersensitivity reaction occurs, discontinue SKYRIZI and initiate appropriate therapy immediately [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 )]. 5. 2 Infections SKYRIZI may increase the risk of infections [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 )] . Treatment with SKYRIZI should not be initiated in patients with any clinically important active infection until the infection resolves or is adequately treated. In patients with a chronic infection or a history of recurrent infection, consider the risks and benefits prior to prescribing SKYRIZI. Instruct patients to seek medical advice if signs or symptoms of clinically important infection occur. If a patient develops such an infection or is not responding to standard therapy, monitor the patient closely and do not administer SKYRIZI until the infection resolves. 5. 3 Tuberculosis Evaluate patients for tuberculosis (TB) infection prior to initiating treatment with SKYRIZI. Across the Phase 3 psoriasis clinical studies, of the 72 subjects with latent TB who were concurrently treated with SKYRIZI and appropriate TB prophylaxis during the studies, none developed active TB during the mean follow-up of 61 weeks on SKYRIZI. Two subjects taking isoniazid for treatment of latent TB discontinued treatment due to liver injury. Of the 31 subjects from the PsO-3 study with latent TB who did not receive prophylaxis during the study, none developed active TB during the mean follow-up of 55 weeks on SKYRIZI. Consider anti-TB therapy prior to initiating SKYRIZI in patients with a past history of latent or active TB in whom an adequate course of treatment cannot be confirmed. Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of active TB during and after SKYRIZI treatment. Do not administer SKYRIZI to patients with active TB. 5. 4 Hepatotoxicity A serious adverse reaction of drug-induced liver injury in conjunction with a rash that required hospitalization was reported in a patient with Crohn’s disease (ALT 54x ULN, AST 30x ULN, and total bilirubin 2.2x ULN) following two 600 mg intravenous doses of SKYRIZI. The liver test abnormalities resolved following administration of steroids. SKYRIZI was subsequently discontinued. For the treatment of Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, evaluate liver enzymes and bilirubin at baseline, and during induction at least up to 12 weeks of treatment. Monitor thereafter according to routine patient management. Consider other treatment options in patients with evidence of liver cirrhosis. Prompt investigation of the cause of liver enzyme elevation is recommended to identify potential cases of drug-induced liver injury. Interrupt treatment if drug-induced liver injury is suspected, until this diagnosis is excluded. Instruct patients to seek immediate medical attention if they experience symptoms suggestive of hepatic dysfunction. 5.5 Immunizations Avoid use of live vaccines in patients treated with SKYRIZI. Drugs that interact with the immune system may increase the risk of infection following administration of live vaccines. Prior to initiating therapy with SKYRIZI, complete all age-appropriate vaccinations according to current immunization guidelines. No data are available on the response to live or inactive vaccines.

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.

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.

Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to SKYRIZI exposure: Skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders : eczema and rash

Pregnancy

8.1 Pregnancy Pregnancy Exposure Registry There is a pregnancy exposure registry that monitors outcomes in women who become pregnant while treated with SKYRIZI. Patients should be encouraged to enroll by calling 1-877-302-2161 or visiting http://glowpregnancyregistry.com. Risk Summary Available pharmacovigilance and clinical trial data with risankizumab use in pregnant women are insufficient to establish a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage or other adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. Although there are no data on risankizumab-rzaa, monoclonal antibodies can be actively transported across the placenta, and SKYRIZI may cause immunosuppression in the in utero - exposed infant . There are adverse pregnancy outcomes in women with inflammatory bowel disease (see Clinical Considerations) . In an enhanced pre- and post-natal developmental toxicity study, pregnant cynomolgus monkeys were administered subcutaneous doses of 5 or 50 mg/kg risankizumab-rzaa once weekly during the period of organogenesis up to parturition. Increased fetal/infant loss was noted in pregnant monkeys at the 50 mg/kg dose (see Data) . The 50 mg/kg dose in pregnant monkeys resulted in approximately 5 times the exposure (AUC) in humans administered the maximum recommended induction dose (1,200 mg) and 32 times the exposure (AUC) to the maximum recommended maintenance dose (360 mg). No risankizumab-rzaa-related effects on functional or immunological development were observed in infant monkeys from birth through 6 months of age. The clinical significance of these findings for humans is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. The background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively. Clinical Considerations Disease-associated maternal and embryo/fetal risk Published data suggest that the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes in women with inflammatory bowel disease is associated with increased disease activity. Adverse pregnancy outcomes include preterm delivery (before 37 weeks of gestation), low birth weight (less than 2,500 g) infants, and small for gestational age at birth. Fetal/Neonatal adverse reactions Transport of endogenous IgG antibodies across the placenta increases as pregnancy progresses, and peaks during the third trimester. Therefore, SKYRIZI may be present in infants exposed in utero . The potential clinical impact of risankizumab exposure in infants exposed in utero should be considered. Data Animal Data An enhanced pre- and post-natal developmental toxicity study was conducted in cynomolgus monkeys. Pregnant cynomolgus monkeys were administered weekly subcutaneous doses of risankizumab-rzaa of 5 or 50 mg/kg from gestation day 20 to parturition, and the cynomolgus monkeys (mother and infants) were monitored for 6 months after delivery. No maternal toxicity was noted in this study. There were no treatment-related effects on growth and development, malformations, developmental immunotoxicology, or neurobehavioral development. However, a dose-dependent increase in fetal/infant loss was noted in the risankizumab-rzaa-treated groups (32% and 43% in the 5 mg/kg and 50 mg/kg groups, respectively) compared with the vehicle control group (19%). The increased fetal/infant loss in the 50 mg/kg group was considered to be related to risankizumab-rzaa treatment. The no-observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) for maternal toxicity was identified as 50 mg/kg, and the NOAEL for developmental toxicity was identified as 5 mg/kg. The 5 mg/kg dose in pregnant monkeys resulted in approximately 0.6 times the exposure (AUC) in humans administered the maximum recommended induction dose (1,200 mg) and 5 times the exposure (AUC) in humans administered the maximum recommended maintenance dose (360 mg). In the infants, mean serum concentrations increased in a dose-dependent manner and were approximately 17%-86% of the respective maternal concentrations. Following delivery, most adult female cynomolgus monkeys and all infants from the risankizumab-rzaa-treated groups had measurable serum concentrations of risankizumab-rzaa up to 91 days postpartum. Serum concentrations were below detectable levels at 180 days postpartum.

Pediatric use

8.4 Pediatric Use Moderate-to-Severe Plaque Psoriasis The safety and effectiveness of SKYRIZI for the treatment of moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis have been established in pediatric patients 6 years of age and older who are candidates for systemic therapy or phototherapy. Use of SKYRIZI for this indication is supported by evidence from a four-part trial in a total of 137 pediatric subjects 6 years of age and older with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis. In addition to two lead-in pharmacokinetic cohorts, the trial also included a randomized, efficacy assessor-blinded, active treatment-controlled cohort that enrolled 82 pediatric subjects 12 years of age and older and a single-arm, open-label cohort that enrolled 30 pediatric subjects 6 to less than 12 years of age [see Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 ), Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 ), and Clinical Studies ( 14.1 )] . The safety and effectiveness of SKYRIZI have not been established in pediatric patients younger than 6 years of age with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis. Active Psoriatic Arthritis The safety and effectiveness of SKYRIZI for the treatment of psoriatic arthritis have been established in pediatric patients 6 years of age and older. Use of SKYRIZI for this indication is supported by evidence from well-controlled studies of SKYRIZI in adults with psoriatic arthritis, pharmacokinetic data from adult patients with psoriatic arthritis or plaque psoriasis, and pharmacokinetic, safety, and immunogenicity data from pediatric patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis [see A dverse Reactions ( 6.1 ), Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 , 12.6 ), and Clinical Studies ( 14.2 ) ] . Risankizumab exposures in pediatric patients with psoriatic arthritis at the recommended dosage are predicted to be comparable to those observed in adults with psoriatic arthritis based on population pharmacokinetic modeling and simulation . The safety and effectiveness of SKYRIZI have not been established in pediatric patients younger than 6 years of age with psoriatic arthritis. Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis The safety and effectiveness of SKYRIZI have not been established in pediatric patients with Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis.

Geriatric use

8.5 Geriatric Use Of the 6,862 subjects exposed to SKYRIZI, a total of 664 were 65 years and older (243 subjects with plaque psoriasis, 246 subjects with psoriatic arthritis, 72 subjects with Crohn’s disease and 103 subjects with ulcerative colitis), and 71 subjects were 75 years and older. Clinical studies of SKYRIZI, within each indication, did not include sufficient numbers of subjects 65 years of age and older to determine whether they respond differently from younger adult subjects. No clinically meaningful differences in the pharmacokinetics of risankizumab-rzaa were observed based on age [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] .

Endogenous maternal IgG and monoclonal antibodies are transferred in human milk. The effects of local gastrointestinal exposure and limited systemic exposure in the breastfed infant to risankizumab-rzaa are unknown. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother's clinical need for SKYRIZI and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from SKYRIZI or from the underlying maternal condition. 8.4 Pediatric Use Moderate-to-Severe Plaque Psoriasis The safety and effectiveness of SKYRIZI for the treatment of moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis have been established in pediatric patients 6 years of age and older who are candidates for systemic therapy or phototherapy.

Mechanism of action

12.1 Mechanism of Action Risankizumab-rzaa is a humanized IgG1 monoclonal antibody that selectively binds to the p19 subunit of human IL-23 cytokine and inhibits its interaction with the IL-23 receptor. IL-23 is a naturally occurring cytokine that is involved in inflammatory and immune responses. Risankizumab-rzaa inhibits the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines.

IL-23 is a naturally occurring cytokine that is involved in inflammatory and immune responses. Risankizumab-rzaa inhibits the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines. 12.2 Pharmacodynamics No formal pharmacodynamics studies have been conducted with risankizumab-rzaa. 12.3 Pharmacokinetics Risankizumab-rzaa plasma concentrations, after single dose administration increased dose proportionally from 18 mg to 360 mg when administered subcutaneously (0.12 to 2.4 times the lowest recommended dose and 0.05 to 1 times the highest recommended dose) and from 200 mg to 1,800 mg when administered as an up to 3-hour intravenous infusion (0.2 to 3 times the recommended dose) in healthy subjects. In subjects with plaque psoriasis treated with 150 mg subcutaneously at Weeks 0, 4, and every 12 weeks thereafter, steady-state peak concentration (C max ) and trough concentration (C trough ) are estimated to be 12 mcg/mL and 2 mcg/mL, respectively. With the same subcutaneous dosing regimen, the pharmacokinetics of risankizumab-rzaa in subjects with psoriatic arthritis were similar to that in subjects with plaque psoriasis. In subjects with Crohn’s disease treated with 600 mg intravenous induction dose at Weeks 0, 4, and 8, followed by 180 mg or 360 mg subcutaneous maintenance dose at Week 12 and every 8 weeks thereafter, the median C max and C trough are estimated to be 156 mcg/mL and 38.8 mcg/mL, respectively, during Weeks 8-12; and the steady state median C max and C trough are estimated to be 14 mcg/mL and 4.1 mcg/mL, respectively for 180 mg or 28 mcg/mL and 8.1 mcg/mL, respectively, for 360 mg, during Weeks 40-48. In subjects with ulcerative colitis treated with 1,200 mg intravenous induction dose at Weeks 0, 4, and 8, followed by 180 mg or 360 mg subcutaneous maintenance dose at Week 12 and every 8 weeks thereafter, the median C max and C trough are estimated to be 350 and 87.7 mcg/mL, respectively, during the induction period (Weeks 8-12); and the steady state median C max and C trough are estimated to be 19.6 and 4.64 µg/mL, respectively, for 180 mg or 39.2 mcg/mL and 9.29 mcg/mL, respectively, for 360 mg, during the maintenance period (Weeks 40-48). Based on population pharmacokinetic analyses, the pharmacokinetics of risankizumab-rzaa in subjects with ulcerative colitis was generally similar to that in subjects with Crohn’s disease. Absorption The absolute bioavailability of risankizumab-rzaa was estimated to be 74 to 89% following subcutaneous injection. In healthy subjects, following administration of a single subcutaneous dose, C max was reached by 3 to 14 days. Distribution The estimated steady-state volume of distribution (inter-subject CV%) was 11.2 L (34%) in subjects with plaque psoriasis, and 7.68 L (64%) in subjects with Crohn’s disease. Elimination The estimated systemic clearance (inter-subject CV%) was 0.31 L/day (24%) and 0.30 L/day (34%) and terminal elimination half-life was approximately 28 days and 21 days in subjects with plaque psoriasis and Crohn’s disease, respectively. Metabolism The metabolic pathway of risankizumab-rzaa has not been characterized. As a humanized IgG1 monoclonal antibody, risankizumab-rzaa is expected to be degraded into small peptides and amino acids via catabolic pathways in a manner similar to endogenous IgG. Specific Populations Pediatric Patients Plaque Psoriasis: Risankizumab-rzaa exposures in pediatric subjects 6 years of age and older with plaque psoriasis receiving weight-based dosing regimens were consistent with those in adults. At the recommended dosing regimens evaluated in these subjects, estimated median steady-state peak and trough plasma concentrations were 15.7 and 2.3 mcg/mL, respectively, in subjects weighing less than 40 kg, and 11.1 and 1.6 mcg/mL, respectively, in subjects weighing 40 kg or greater. Psoriatic Arthritis: Risankizumab exposures in patients 6 years of age and older with active psoriatic arthritis at the recommended pediatric dosage are predicted to be comparable to those observed in adult patients with psoriatic arthritis based on population pharmacokinetic modeling simulation. Geriatric Patients Risankizumab-rzaa exposures (C trough ) in geriatric patients (≥65 years) are comparable to those in younger adult patients within each indication. No studies have been conducted to determine the effect of renal or hepatic impairment on the pharmacokinetics of risankizumab-rzaa. Body Weight Risankizumab-rzaa clearance and volume of distribution increase and plasma concentrations decrease as body weight increases; however, no dose adjustment is recommended based on body weight in adult patients. Drug Interaction Studies Cytochrome P450 Substrates No clinically significant changes in exposure of caffeine (CYP1A2 substrate), warfarin (CYP2C9 substrate), omeprazole (CYP2C19 substrate), metoprolol (CYP2D6 substrate), or midazolam (CYP3A substrate) were observed when used concomitantly with risankizumab-rzaa in subjects with plaque psoriasis (risankizumab-rzaa 150 mg administered subcutaneously at Weeks 0, 4, 8, and 12) and subjects with Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis (risankizumab-rzaa 1,800 mg administered intravenously at Weeks 0, 4, and 8, i.e., 3 times and 1.5 times the recommended dose for Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, respectively). 12.6 Immunogenicity The observed incidence of anti-drug antibodies is highly dependent on the sensitivity and specificity of the assay. Differences in assay methods preclude meaningful comparisons of the incidence of anti-drug antibodies (ADA) in the trials described below with the incidence of ADA in other trials, including those of SKYRIZI or other risankizumab products. Moderate-to-Severe Plaque Psoriasis By Week 52, approximately 24% (263/1079) of adults treated with SKYRIZI at the recommended dosage developed antibodies to risankizumab-rzaa. Of the subjects who developed antibodies to risankizumab-rzaa, approximately 57% (14% of all subjects treated with SKYRIZI) had antibodies that were classified as neutralizing. Higher antibody titers in approximately 1% of subjects treated with SKYRIZI were associated with lower risankizumab-rzaa concentrations and reduced clinical response. In pediatric subjects 6 years of age and older, approximately 15% (13/88) of subjects treated with SKYRIZI at the recommended dose developed antibodies to risankizumab-rzaa by Week 52. Of the 13 subjects who developed antibodies to risankizumab-rzaa, approximately 15% (2.3% of all subjects treated with SKYRIZI) had antibodies that were classified as neutralizing. Due to the small number of subjects who developed antibodies to risankizumab-rzaa, it is difficult to determine the impact of the antibodies on pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, safety, and/or effectiveness. Active Psoriatic Arthritis By Week 28, approximately 12.1% (79/652) of adult subjects treated with SKYRIZI at the recommended dose developed antibodies to risankizumab-rzaa. None of the subjects who developed antibodies to risankizumab-rzaa had antibodies that were classified as neutralizing. Antibodies to risankizumab-rzaa were not associated with changes in clinical response for psoriatic arthritis. A higher proportion of subjects with anti-drug antibodies experienced hypersensitivity reactions (6.3% (5/79)) and injection site reactions (2.5% (2/79)) compared to subjects without anti-drug antibodies (3.8% (22/574) with hypersensitivity reactions and 0.7% (4/574) with injection site reactions). None of these hypersensitivity and injection site reactions led to discontinuation of risankizumab-rzaa. Moderately to Severely Active Crohn’s Disease By Week 64, antibodies to risankizumab-rzaa developed in approximately 3.4% (2/58) of subjects treated with SKYRIZI induction followed by 360 mg maintenance regimen. No subjects (0/57) treated with SKYRIZI induction followed by 180 mg maintenance regimen developed antibodies to risankizumab-rzaa. None of the subjects who developed antibodies to risankizumab-rzaa had antibodies that were classified as neutralizing. Moderately to Severely Active Ulcerative Colitis By Week 64, antibodies to risankizumab-rzaa developed in approximately 8.9% (8/90) or 4.4% (4/91) of subjects treated with SKYRIZI induction followed by the 180 mg or 360 mg maintenance regimen, respectively. Of the subjects who developed antibodies to risankizumab-rzaa, 75% (6.7% of all subjects treated with SKYRIZI induction followed by the 180 mg maintenance regimen) or 50% (2.2% of all subjects treated with SKYRIZI induction followed by the 360 mg maintenance regimen), respectively, had antibodies that were classified as neutralizing.

Pharmacokinetics

12.3 Pharmacokinetics Risankizumab-rzaa plasma concentrations, after single dose administration increased dose proportionally from 18 mg to 360 mg when administered subcutaneously (0.12 to 2.4 times the lowest recommended dose and 0.05 to 1 times the highest recommended dose) and from 200 mg to 1,800 mg when administered as an up to 3-hour intravenous infusion (0.2 to 3 times the recommended dose) in healthy subjects. In subjects with plaque psoriasis treated with 150 mg subcutaneously at Weeks 0, 4, and every 12 weeks thereafter, steady-state peak concentration (C max ) and trough concentration (C trough ) are estimated to be 12 mcg/mL and 2 mcg/mL, respectively. With the same subcutaneous dosing regimen, the pharmacokinetics of risankizumab-rzaa in subjects with psoriatic arthritis were similar to that in subjects with plaque psoriasis. In subjects with Crohn’s disease treated with 600 mg intravenous induction dose at Weeks 0, 4, and 8, followed by 180 mg or 360 mg subcutaneous maintenance dose at Week 12 and every 8 weeks thereafter, the median C max and C trough are estimated to be 156 mcg/mL and 38.8 mcg/mL, respectively, during Weeks 8-12; and the steady state median C max and C trough are estimated to be 14 mcg/mL and 4.1 mcg/mL, respectively for 180 mg or 28 mcg/mL and 8.1 mcg/mL, respectively, for 360 mg, during Weeks 40-48. In subjects with ulcerative colitis treated with 1,200 mg intravenous induction dose at Weeks 0, 4, and 8, followed by 180 mg or 360 mg subcutaneous maintenance dose at Week 12 and every 8 weeks thereafter, the median C max and C trough are estimated to be 350 and 87.7 mcg/mL, respectively, during the induction period (Weeks 8-12); and the steady state median C max and C trough are estimated to be 19.6 and 4.64 µg/mL, respectively, for 180 mg or 39.2 mcg/mL and 9.29 mcg/mL, respectively, for 360 mg, during the maintenance period (Weeks 40-48). Based on population pharmacokinetic analyses, the pharmacokinetics of risankizumab-rzaa in subjects with ulcerative colitis was generally similar to that in subjects with Crohn’s disease. Absorption The absolute bioavailability of risankizumab-rzaa was estimated to be 74 to 89% following subcutaneous injection. In healthy subjects, following administration of a single subcutaneous dose, C max was reached by 3 to 14 days. Distribution The estimated steady-state volume of distribution (inter-subject CV%) was 11.2 L (34%) in subjects with plaque psoriasis, and 7.68 L (64%) in subjects with Crohn’s disease. Elimination The estimated systemic clearance (inter-subject CV%) was 0.31 L/day (24%) and 0.30 L/day (34%) and terminal elimination half-life was approximately 28 days and 21 days in subjects with plaque psoriasis and Crohn’s disease, respectively. Metabolism The metabolic pathway of risankizumab-rzaa has not been characterized. As a humanized IgG1 monoclonal antibody, risankizumab-rzaa is expected to be degraded into small peptides and amino acids via catabolic pathways in a manner similar to endogenous IgG. Specific Populations Pediatric Patients Plaque Psoriasis: Risankizumab-rzaa exposures in pediatric subjects 6 years of age and older with plaque psoriasis receiving weight-based dosing regimens were consistent with those in adults. At the recommended dosing regimens evaluated in these subjects, estimated median steady-state peak and trough plasma concentrations were 15.7 and 2.3 mcg/mL, respectively, in subjects weighing less than 40 kg, and 11.1 and 1.6 mcg/mL, respectively, in subjects weighing 40 kg or greater. Psoriatic Arthritis: Risankizumab exposures in patients 6 years of age and older with active psoriatic arthritis at the recommended pediatric dosage are predicted to be comparable to those observed in adult patients with psoriatic arthritis based on population pharmacokinetic modeling simulation. Geriatric Patients Risankizumab-rzaa exposures (C trough ) in geriatric patients (≥65 years) are comparable to those in younger adult patients within each indication. No studies have been conducted to determine the effect of renal or hepatic impairment on the pharmacokinetics of risankizumab-rzaa. Body Weight Risankizumab-rzaa clearance and volume of distribution increase and plasma concentrations decrease as body weight increases; however, no dose adjustment is recommended based on body weight in adult patients. Drug Interaction Studies Cytochrome P450 Substrates No clinically significant changes in exposure of caffeine (CYP1A2 substrate), warfarin (CYP2C9 substrate), omeprazole (CYP2C19 substrate), metoprolol (CYP2D6 substrate), or midazolam (CYP3A substrate) were observed when used concomitantly with risankizumab-rzaa in subjects with plaque psoriasis (risankizumab-rzaa 150 mg administered subcutaneously at Weeks 0, 4, 8, and 12) and subjects with Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis (risankizumab-rzaa 1,800 mg administered intravenously at Weeks 0, 4, and 8, i.e., 3 times and 1.5 times the recommended dose for Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, respectively).
