INDICATIONS AND IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION FOR SKYRIZI® (risankizumab-rzaa)1 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. Ulcerative Colitis: SKYRIZI is indicated for the treatment of moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis 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 Inflammatory Bowel 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 and ulcerative colitis, 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.
Most common (≥3%) adverse reactions associated with SKYRIZI in ulcerative colitis are arthralgia in induction, and arthralgia, pyrexia, injection site reactions, and rash 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. Lipid elevations observed in patients with ulcerative colitis were similar to those in Crohn's disease.
Dosage Forms and Strengths: SKYRIZI (risankizumab-rzaa) is available in a 150 mg/mL prefilled syringe and pen, a 600 mg/10 mL single-dose vial for intravenous infusion, and a 180 mg/1.2 mL or 360 mg/2.4 mL single-dose prefilled cartridge with on-body injector.
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.
Ulcerative Colitis: SKYRIZI is indicated for the treatment of moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis in adults.

An extensive Phase 3 clinical program in Crohn’s Disease
1,419 PATIENTS ENROLLED ACROSS SKYRIZI TRIALS
‡Advanced therapy in Crohn's is defined as biologics.
†The total population in the ADVANCE and MOTIVATE studies includes patients dosed with risankizumab-rzaa 1200 mg IV, which did not demonstrate additional treatment benefit over the 600 mg dose and is not a recommended regimen.
aThe advanced therapy-naïve subpopulation includes patients who were exposed to a biologic but did not have an inadequate response, loss of response, or intolerance to biologics (13%).
bPrior advanced therapy failure includes inadequate response, loss of response, or intolerance to one or more biologics.
cThe advanced therapy-naïve subpopulation includes patients who were exposed to a biologic but did not have an inadequate response, loss of response, or intolerance to biologics (8%).
dClinical response was defined as a reduction of CDAI score ≥100 points from baseline.

Data Limitations: Data was not multiplicity controlled, and not powered to demonstrate statistical difference in treatment effect for SKYRIZI vs placebo (induction responders). No statistical or clinical conclusions can be made.
Clinical Remission: Defined as a CDAI score <150 points.
Placebo (Induction Responders): Patients who achieved CDAI clinical response (CR-100)* to SKYRIZI induction therapy and were randomized to receive placebo in the maintenance study.
*Clinical response was defined as a reduction of CDAI score ≥100 points from baseline.
