EFFICACY DATA FOR CROHN'S DISEASE
Proven to Give Patients a Chance at Endoscopic Control and Durable Remission in Crohn's1,2
*Based on data from trials with SKYRIZI IV.
¶Endoscopic remission at Week 52 was not statistically significant under the prespecified multiple testing procedure.
#Week 152 and 248 data is based on not statistically significant, as-observed data. No conclusions can be made.
Patients Achieved Visible Improvement of the Intestinal Lining and Clinical Remission‡ at Weeks 12 and 521,5
STUDY DESIGNS
ADVANCE (N=850) and MOTIVATE (N=569) IV Induction studies were 12-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies that evaluated the efficacy and safety of SKYRIZI in patients with moderately to severely active Crohn’s disease who demonstrated prior treatment failure to conventional (advanced therapy††-naïve##) and/or biologic treatment. Patients received an IV infusion of SKYRIZI 600 mg (recommended dose), risankizumab-rzaa 1200 mg, or placebo at Weeks 0, 4, and 8.1
FORTIFY (N=382) Maintenance study was a 52-week study that evaluated the efficacy and safety of SKYRIZI in patients who achieved clinical response† (decrease in CDAI ≥100) from SKYRIZI induction in the ADVANCE and MOTIVATE studies. Patients were randomized to SKYRIZI 180 mg SC, SKYRIZI 360 mg SC, or placebo at Week 12 and every 8 weeks thereafter.1
Use the lowest effective dosage to maintain therapeutic response.
All p-values are SKYRIZI treatment arms vs placebo.
††Advanced therapy in Crohn’s is defined as biologics.
§§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.1
†Clinical response was defined as a reduction of CDAI score ≥100 points from baseline.1
‡Clinical remission was defined as a CDAI score <150 points.1
§Endoscopic remission was defined as a SES-CD ≤4 and at least a 2-point reduction versus baseline and no subscore >1 in any individual variable, as scored by a central reviewer.1
IIEndoscopic response is 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).1
**The mixed population includes patients who had inadequate response, loss of response, or intolerance to one or more biologics (advanced therapy failure), as well as patients who were bio-exposed but did not have an inadequate response, loss of response, or intolerance to biologics (biologic naïve).1
‡‡Prior advanced therapy failure includes inadequate response, loss of response, or intolerance to one or more biologics.1
IIIIPatients who responded to placebo in induction (CR-100)† were not randomized and continued on placebo in maintenance. These patients were not included in the primary efficacy analysis.5

EARLY SYMPTOM RELIEF
SKYRIZI Is the Only IL-23i to Achieve Symptom Relief at Week 4 in Crohn’s IV Pivotal Trials1,3,6
Clinical Response* (CDAI CR-100) at Weeks 4, 8, 121,3,6
DATA LIMITATIONS: Data not labeled as a ranked secondary endpoint were prespecified nonranked endpoints not controlled for multiplicity; therefore, treatment differences could represent chance findings. No conclusions regarding these comparisons can be made.

Remission as Early as Week 46
Clinical Remission† at Weeks 4, 8, 123,6
DATA LIMITATIONS: Data at Week 8 were nonranked endpoints not controlled for multiplicity; therefore, treatment differences could represent chance findings. No conclusions regarding these comparisons can be made.

OPEN-LABEL EXTENSION (OLE) STUDY DESIGN
FORTIFY-OLE is an ongoing, multicenter, open-label extension study that evaluated long-term efficacy and safety of SKYRIZI that included patients from the FORTIFY maintenance study. Patients in the FORTIFY maintenance study achieved clinical response* with SKYRIZI in the ADVANCE and MOTIVATE IV induction studies. This study population for FORTIFY-OLE is a sub-analysis that includes all randomized subjects who had a baseline eligibility SES-CD of ≥6 (≥4 for isolated ileal disease), received SKYRIZI 600 mg IV for 12 weeks in the induction studies, and have received at least one dose of SKYRIZI 180 mg or 360 mg SC in the Phase 3 maintenance study FORTIFY and at least one dose of SKYRIZI 180 mg SC in the FORTIFY-OLE study.1,2

ENDOSCOPIC CONTROL
Visible Improvement of the Intestinal Lining Up to ~5 years
Endoscopic Remission* Seen at Weeks 12, 52, 152, and 2481,2,4,5
Results at 52 weeks are among 382 patients who achieved clinical response# after 12 weeks of treatment with SKYRIZI in IV induction trials.
Use the lowest effective dosage to maintain therapeutic response.
¶Continuous placebo data not intended for direct comparison.5
DATA LIMITATIONS: Endoscopic remission at Week 52 was not statistically significant. Subgroup data were not tested for multiplicity control, so no difference in treatment effect for SKYRIZI vs placebo can be concluded. At Weeks 152 and 248, endoscopy scores were locally read. OLE LIMITATIONS: All patients completed the 52-week maintenance period and received SKYRIZI 180 mg Q8W regardless of the maintenance dose. An OLE may enrich long-term data as patients intolerant or unresponsive to the drug drop out. AO LIMITATIONS: Patients with missing data at a specific time are not included, which may enrich the population and increase the response rates. All observed data were used regardless of premature discontinuation of study drug or initiation of concomitant medication.
