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.

IMMvent was a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, active-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of SKYRIZI (150 mg) compared to HUMIRA® (adalimumab) in adult patients with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis over 44 weeks.
Patients treated with adalimumab during Part A:
Part A
In the first phase, patients were randomized 1:1 to either SKYRIZI (150 mg), given as a subcutaneous injection at Weeks 0 and 4 and every 12 weeks thereafter or HUMIRA, given as a subcutaneous injection, with an initial dose of 80 mg followed by 40 mg every other week starting 1 week after the initial dose over 44 weeks.
The Part A co-primary endpoints were
Part B
Patients originally randomized to SKYRIZI received it throughout the study (Parts A & B). Among patients originally randomized to receive HUMIRA, those with a PASI 50 but less than PASI 90 response were re-randomized 1:1 to switch to SKYRIZI or continue HUMIRA.

KEEPsAKE 1 (N=964) and KEEPsAKE 2 (N=443) were 2 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies to evaluate the efficacy and safety of SKYRIZI (150 mg) vs placebo over 24 weeks with an open-label extension for up to an additional 204 weeks in adult patients with active psoriatic arthritis.
In both studies, patients were randomized to receive SKYRIZI 150 mg or placebo at Weeks 0, 4, and 16. Starting from Week 28, all patients received SKYRIZI every 12 weeks. 59.6% of patients from both studies were receiving concomitant MTX, 11.6% were receiving concomitant non-biologic DMARDs other than MTX, and 28.9% were receiving SKYRIZI monotherapy.
Patients in KEEPsAKE 1 previously experienced an inadequate response, intolerance, or contraindication to ≥1 csDMARD. Patients in KEEPsAKE 2 were bio-IR and/or csDMARD-IR.
In both studies, similar responses were seen regardless of concomitant non-biologic DMARD use, number of prior non-biologic DMARDs, age, gender, race, and BMI. In KEEPsAKE 2, responses were seen regardless of prior biologic therapy.
*The first n-value is for KEEPsAKE 1; the second n-value is for KEEPsAKE 2.
†At Week 16, patients classified as nonresponders (defined as not achieving at least a 20% improvement in either or both tender joint count and swollen joint count at both Week 12 and Week 16 compared to baseline) had the option to add or modify rescue concomitant medications/therapy. Starting at Week 36, patients classified as nonresponders were discontinued from study drug.
‡To maintain the blind to the original treatment at Week 24, patients randomized to placebo received blinded risankizumab 150 mg, and patients randomized to risankizumab received blinded placebo.
