§Eligibility: Available to patients with commercial insurance coverage for SKYRIZI®(risankizumab-rzaa) who meet eligibility criteria. This co-pay assistance program is not available to patients receiving prescription reimbursement under any federal, state, or government-funded insurance programs (for example, Medicare [including Part D], Medicare Advantage, Medigap, Medicaid, TRICARE, Department of Defense, or Veterans Affairs programs) or where prohibited by law. Offer subject to change or termination without notice. Restrictions, including monthly maximums, may apply. This is not health insurance. For full Terms and Conditions, visit www.SKYRIZICDSavingsCard.com or call 1.866.SKYRIZI for additional information. To learn about AbbVie's privacy practices and your privacy choices, visit https://privacy.abbvie.
||Eligibility criteria: Available to patients aged 63 or younger with commercial insurance coverage. Patients must have a valid prescription for SKYRIZI® (risankizumab-rzaa) for an FDA approved indication and a denial of insurance coverage based on a prior authorization request on file along with a confirmation of appeal. For medical coverage, a pre-certification submission will be required. Continued eligibility for the program requires the submission of an appeal of the coverage denial every 180 days. Program provides for SKYRIZI® (risankizumab-rzaa) at no charge to patients for up to two years or until they receive insurance coverage approval, whichever occurs earlier, and is not contingent on purchase requirements of any kind. Program is not available to patients whose medications are reimbursed in whole or in part by Medicare, Medicaid, TRICARE, or any other federal or state program. Offer subject to change or discontinuance without notice. This is not health insurance and program does not guarantee insurance coverage. No claims for payment may be submitted to any third party for product dispensed by program. Limitations may apply.
Indications
Crohn's Disease: SKYRIZI is indicated for the treatment of moderately to severely active Crohn's disease in adults.
Plaque Psoriasis: SKYRIZI is indicated for the treatment of moderate to severe plaque psoriasis in adults who are candidates for systemic therapy or phototherapy.
Psoriatic Arthritis: SKYRIZI is indicated for the treatment of active psoriatic arthritis in adults.
Important Safety Information
Hypersensitivity Reactions
SKYRIZI® (risankizumab-rzaa) is contraindicated in patients with a history of serious hypersensitivity reaction to risankizumab-rzaa or any of the excipients. Serious hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, have been reported with the use of SKYRIZI. If a serious hypersensitivity reaction occurs, discontinue SKYRIZI and initiate appropriate therapy immediately.
Infection
SKYRIZI may increase the risk of infection. Do not initiate treatment with SKYRIZI in patients with a clinically important active infection until it 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, closely monitor and discontinue SKYRIZI until the infection resolves.
Tuberculosis (TB)
Prior to initiating treatment with SKYRIZI, evaluate for TB infection and consider treatment in patients with latent or active TB for 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.
Hepatotoxicity in Treatment of Crohn’s Disease
Drug-induced liver injury was reported in a patient with Crohn’s disease who was hospitalized for a rash during induction dosing of SKYRIZI. For the treatment of Crohn’s disease, evaluate liver enzymes and bilirubin at baseline and during induction (12 weeks); monitor thereafter according to routine patient management. Consider an alternate treatment for patients with evidence of liver cirrhosis. Interrupt treatment if drug-induced liver injury is suspected, until this diagnosis is excluded. Instruct your patient to seek immediate medical attention if they experience symptoms suggestive of hepatic dysfunction.
Administration of Vaccines
Avoid use of live vaccines in patients treated with SKYRIZI. Medications that interact with the immune system may increase the risk of infection following administration of live vaccines. Prior to initiating SKYRIZI, complete all age-appropriate vaccinations according to current immunization guidelines.
Adverse Reactions
Most common (≥1%) adverse reactions associated with SKYRIZI in plaque psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis include upper respiratory infections, headache, fatigue, injection site reactions, and tinea infections.
In psoriatic arthritis phase 3 trials, the incidence of hepatic events was higher with SKYRIZI compared to placebo.
Most common (>3%) adverse reactions associated with SKYRIZI in Crohn’s disease are upper respiratory infections, headache, and arthralgia in induction and arthralgia, abdominal pain, injection site reactions, anemia, pyrexia, back pain, arthropathy, and urinary tract infection in maintenance.
Lipid Elevations: Increases from baseline and increases relative to placebo were observed at Week 4 and remained stable to Week 12 in patients treated with SKYRIZI in Crohn’s disease.
Dosage Forms and Strengths: SKYRIZI is available in a 150 mg/mL prefilled syringe and pen, and a 600 mg/10 mL single-dose vial for intravenous infusion.
INDICATIONS
Plaque Psoriasis: SKYRIZI is indicated for the treatment of moderate to severe plaque psoriasis in adults who are candidates for systemic therapy or phototherapy.
Psoriatic Arthritis: SKYRIZI is indicated for the treatment of active psoriatic arthritis in adults.
Crohn's Disease: SKYRIZI is indicated for the treatment of moderately to severely active Crohn's disease in adults.

aEndoscopic response was defined as a decrease in SES-CD >50% from baseline, or a decrease of at least 2 points for subjects with a baseline score of 4 and isolated ileal disease, based on central reading. The sections evaluated on endoscopy are the: rectum, sigmoid and left colon, transverse colon, right colon and ileum (per SES-CD assessment).
bClinical remission was defined as a CDAI score <150 points.
cThe 1200 mg IV induction dose did not demonstrate additional treatment benefit over the 600 mg IV dose and is not a recommended regimen.
dThe bio-naïve subpopulation includes patients who were bio‑exposed but did not have an inadequate response, loss of response, or intolerance to biologics (13%).
ePrior biologic failure includes inadequate response, loss of response, or intolerance to one or more biologics.
fClinical response was defined as a reduction of CDAI score ≥100 points from baseline.
APS=abdominal pain score; CD=Crohn's disease; CDAI=Crohn’s disease activity index; IV=intravenous; SC=subcutaneous; SES-CD=simple endoscopic score for Crohn’s disease; SF=stool frequency
