SKYRIZI key pillars

STUDY DESIGN

INSPIRE Induction (N=966) was a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of SKYRIZI 1200 mg IV, at Weeks 0, 4, and 8 vs placebo over 12 weeks in adult patients with moderate to severe UC. The primary endpoint was clinical remission at Week 12.1

COMMAND Maintenance (N=547) was a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of SKYRIZI 180 mg or 360 mg SC vs placebo up to 52 weeks in adult patients who were clinical responders to one of three SKYRIZI induction regimens consisting of 600 mg, 1200 mg, or 1800 mg IV (the 600 mg and 1800 mg IV are not FDA-approved induction regimens) in the INSPIRE Phase 2b or Phase 3 studies. The primary endpoint was clinical remission at Week 52. COMMAND also included a prespecified subgroup analysis inclusive only of patients who responded to the FDA-approved induction dosing of SKYRIZI 1200 mg IV (N=271).1

Use the lowest effective dosage to maintain therapeutic response.

Clinical response at Week 4 in UC per partial modified Mayo Score is a composite of Mayo stool frequency and rectal bleeding subscores and was defined as a decrease in total score ≥30% and ≥1 point from baseline and a decrease in rectal bleeding subscore ≥1 or rectal bleeding subscore of 0 or 1.1

§Endoscopic improvement in UC is defined as Mayo endoscopic subscore of 0 or 1 without friability.1 Endoscopic results are based on a full colonoscopy or flexible sigmoidoscopy, at the discretion of the investigator.2

||Endoscopic remission in UC is defined as Mayo endoscopic subscore of 0.1 Endoscopic results are based on a full colonoscopy or flexible sigmoidoscopy, at the discretion of the investigator.2

Steroid-free clinical remission in UC is defined as clinical remission per modified Mayo Score (rectal bleeding, stool frequency, endoscopic subscore) at Week 52 and corticosteroid-free for ≥90 days immediately preceding Week 52.

Continuous placebo data not intended for direct comparison.

LIMITATIONS OF PRESPECIFIED SUBGROUP ANALYSIS: Results shown are only among patients who responded to the FDA-approved 1200 mg IV induction dose. Excluded are those who received unapproved induction doses (600 mg or 1800 mg). Data were not controlled for multiplicity. No conclusions or statistical inferences can be made.3  

All P-values are SKYRIZI treatment arms vs placebo (induction responders).

Advanced therapy-naïve patients include some patients who were exposed to an advanced therapy (biologics, JAK inhibitors, and/or S1P receptor modulators) but did not experience treatment failure.1

more than 97%

In a post hoc analysis of patients who responded to the FDA-approved 1200 mg IV induction dose, among those in clinical remission at Week 52,
>97% were also corticosteroid-free for ≥90 days prior to visit.5

(180 mg [N=39/40]; 360 mg [N=44/45]; placebo [induction responders] [N=26/26])

POST HOC LIMITATION: Data were not controlled for multiplicity. No conclusions or statistical inferences can be made.

At Week 52, in the prespecified subgroup analysis in patients who responded to the FDA-approved 1200 mg IV induction dose, 44% of patients on SKYRIZI 180 mg and 48% of patients on SKYRIZI 360 mg achieved corticosteroid-free clinical remission|| compared to 29% on placebo.3
