Statistical methods:
Primary analysis: The achievement of PASI 90 at Week 16 is the 
primary endpoint and is binary variables with values of 0 or 1. The 
difference in proportion responding between the BI 655066
(risankizumab) arm and placebo arm will be estimated and tested 
using the Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel risk difference estimate stratified 
by the randomisation factors of concomitant disease of PsA at 
baseline (Yes versus No), and body weight (≤90 kg versus >90 kg) 
with weights proposed by Greenland & Robins. 
Secondary analysis: The same methods as the primary analyses will
be used to analyse all binary secondary. Change from baseline in
Psoriasis Symptoms Scale (PSS) at Week 16 will be analysed by the 
van Elteren test between the BI 655066 (risankizumab) arm and 
placebo arm.
In order to maintain the full significant level of 5%, two null 
hypotheses of each BI 655066 (risankizumab) arm vs Placebo will be 
tested using fixed-sequence method.

studies, the majority of patients receiving BI 655066 achieved 90% improvement of their 
disease. The most common AEs reported in these trials were mild nasopharyngitis, headache, 
back pain, and arthralgia, which showed no dose dependency. Local reactions following 
subcutaneous administration of BI 655066 were uncommon, and limited to redness, swelling 
or induration at the injection site. 
As with any immune modulating agent, BI 655066 may impair immune function resulting in 
a risk of infection. This will be monitored by collection of all AEs during the treatment and 
observation periods. Patients with clinically important active infection will not be included in 
the study. Patients with positive QuantiFERON® TB test, positive T-SPOT® test, or a positive 
PPD (purified protein derivative) skin test for tuberculosis must fulfil entry criteria as 
specified in Section 3.3.3, item 6. There is not enough information at this time to rule out a 
risk of cancer with BI 655066, but this risk is considered small with this type of compound as 
experience with the anti-IL-12/23 mAb ustekinumab has not suggested significant risk for 
cancer/serious infection. The investigators will perform physical examination at each visit
and will monitor for signs and symptoms of malignancy.
Increases in major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) including myocardial infarction, 
cerebrovascular accident, and cardiovascular death, reported initially with anti-IL-12/23 
agents, such as ustekinumab, have not been observed in longer-term studies. In Phase I study 
and phase II study of BI 655066, 3 cases were considered to be possible MACE. While the 
likelihood of increased MACE with treatment by BI 655066 is small, all suspected 
cardiovascular events (serious or non-serious) observed in this study will be adjudicated by 
an independent MACE adjudication committee.
A patient will have an about 33% (1 in 3) chance in being randomised to the placebo arm. 
Patients assigned to placebo will not receive an active treatment through Week 16, but after 
that patients will receive BI 655066. The knowledge gained from the placebo treatment group 
in a relatively short period of time will be used to control for confounding factors for an 
unbiased estimate of effect size. The delay in starting treatment does not diminish the 
potential benefit of treatment because of active treatment. If the patient experiences an 
intolerable increase of psoriasis the patient will be discontinued from the trial to receive 
rescue treatment.
Patients will be monitored with study visits every 4 weeks through the end of the placebo 
period at Week 16.  
Although rare, a potential for drug induced liver injury (DILI) is under constant surveillance 
by sponsors and regulators. Therefore, this trial requires timely detection, evaluation, and 
follow-up of laboratory alterations in selected liver laboratory parameters to ensure patients´ 
safety, see also Section 5.3.6.1.
In order to recognize any safety signals as early as possible, an independent data monitoring 
committee (DMC) will monitor all studies where patients are receiving BI 655066. 
In conclusion, the benefit-risk profile is considered appropriate for this stage of clinical 
development.

DESCRIPTION OF DESIGN AND TRIAL POPULATION
OVERALL TRIAL DESIGN AND PLAN
3.1
This randomised, double-blind, double-dummy, placebo controlled, parallel design study 
compares two different dose regiments of BI 655066 (risankizumab) with placebo. In total, 
approximately 168 patients with moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis will be 
randomised in this trial. 
Patients are included in the trial once they have signed the informed consent. Patients suitable 
after screening will be eligible to participate in the 40-week treatment period and will be 
randomised at a ratio of 2:2:1:1 to one of 4 treatment arms (BI 655066 75 mg, BI 655066
150 mg, placebo with BI 655066 75 mg, after Week 16, and placebo with BI 655066 150 mg
after Week 16) as shown in Figure 3.1: 1. Randomisation will be stratified by concomitant 
PsA at baseline (Yes versus No) and body weight (≤90 kg versus >90 kg) as listed in Section 
7.6.
Figure 3.1: 1 Trial design
Individual patient participation is concluded when the patient has completed the last planned 
visit. The “last-patient-last-visit-primary-endpoint” is the last scheduled primary endpoint 
visit at Week 16 completed by the last patient. 
Patients will be offered to roll over into an extension trial, if they have completed the study 
and meet the inclusion criteria for the extension trial. 
Patients who will not participate in the extension trial will be followed up for AE assessment 
16 weeks after having received their last dose.

3.1.1
Administrative structure of the trial
The trial is sponsored by Boehringer Ingelheim (BI).
BI has appointed a trial clinical monitor, responsible for coordinating all required activities, 
in order to:
•
manage the trial in accordance with applicable regulations and internal SOPs,
•
direct the clinical trial team in the preparation, conduct, and reporting of the trial,
•
ensure appropriate training and information of local clinical monitors (CML), clinical 
research associates (CRAs), and investigators of participating countries.
A coordinating investigator will be responsible to coordinate activities of investigators at 
different centres participating in this multi-centre trial. Tasks and responsibilities will be 
defined in a contract. Relevant documentation on the participating (principal) investigators 
and other important participants, including their curricula vitae, will be filed in the ISF.
Data management will be done by BI according to BI SOPs and Statistical Evaluation will be 
done by AbbVie according to AbbVie SOPs.
A central laboratory service and vendors for ECG, electronic clinical outcome assessment,
and IRT (interactive response technology) will be used in this trial. Details will be provided 
in the applicable manuals available in the ISF.
The organisation of the trial will be performed by the Nippon Boehringer-Ingelheim or by a 
contract research organisation (CRO) with which the responsibilities and tasks will have been 
agreed and a written contract filed before initiation of the clinical trial. A CML will be 
appointed responsible for coordinating the activities required in order to manage the trial in 
accordance with applicable regulations and internal SOPs in the countries covered by the 
respective BI Japan.  
Tasks and functions assigned in order to organise, manage, and evaluate the trial are defined 
according to BI SOPs. A list of responsible persons and relevant Japanese information can be 
found in the ISF.
3.1.2
Data Monitoring Committee (DMC)
A project-based DMC, independent of the sponsor will be established to assess the progress 
of the clinical trial, including unblinded safety assessment at specified intervals, and to 
recommend to the sponsor whether to continue, modify, or stop the trial. Any efficacy data 
provided to the DMC will only be used for DMC's obligation to assess the full benefit-to-risk 
of the treatments. Thus, no statistical penalty will be imposed since efficacy analyses will not 
be the basis for any potential early trial termination. Measures are in place to ensure blinding 
of the sponsor and all other trial participants. The sponsor will remain blinded until after 
database lock. The tasks and responsibilities of the DMC will be specified in a charter. The 
DMC will maintain written records of all its meetings.

3.1.3
MACE Adjudication Committee 
A project-based independent adjudication committee will be used to adjudicate all observed 
cardio- and cerebro-vascular events and thrombotic events reported during the conduct of the 
study to assure consistent assessment of MACE. This review will be blinded to treatment 
allocation; the events that are adjudicated and the adjudication process will be detailed in the 
MACE Adjudication Committee Charter.
DISCUSSION OF TRIAL DESIGN, INCLUDING THE CHOICE OF 
3.2
CONTROL GROUPS
This is a randomised, double-blind, double-dummy, placebo controlled, parallel design trial. 
The trial design is appropriate for assessing the efficacy and safety of two different dose 
regiments of BI 655066 compared to placebo in patients with moderate to severe chronic 
plaque psoriasis. While there is a low rate of response with placebo treatment, it is important 
to have a placebo control early in the study. In order to facilitate patient participation, the trial 
design will allow patients initially assigned to placebo to receive active treatment. Thus, only 
AEs reported during the first 16 weeks of the trial can be directly compared to placebo. 
SELECTION OF TRIAL POPULATION

A total of approximately 168 patients will be randomised in the current trial. A sufficient 
number of patients will be screened to meet this randomised goal. Patients will be recruited at 
multiple investigative sites. Recruitment will be competitive.  
A log of all patients enrolled into the trial (i.e., who have signed informed consent) will be 
maintained in the ISF at the investigational site irrespective of whether they have been treated 
with investigational drug or not.

3.3.4
Removal of patients from therapy or assessments
Removal of individual patients
3.3.4.1
All patients have the right to withdraw from the study at any time without the need to justify
their decision. The investigator has the right to remove patients from the study for 
noncompliance, administrative, or other reasons. It should be clearly understood that an 
excessive rate of withdrawals can render the study results uninterpretable. The sponsor 
reserves the right to remove any study patient from the trial for non-compliance.
An individual patient is to be withdrawn from trial treatment if:
∀
The patient withdraws consent for trial treatment or trial participation, without the need to 
justify the decision.
∀
The patient can no longer be treated with trial medication for other medical reasons (such 
as surgery, AEs, other diseases, or pregnancy)
∀
Development of a toxicity or AE which warrants BI 655066 discontinuation including but 
not limited to SAEs or suspected unexpected serious adverse reactions (SUSARs).
∀
If prohibited treatment is used during the study for any indication, the patient must 
discontinue use of the prohibited treatment if he/she wishes to continue in the study. In 
case of undue safety risk for the patient, the patient should discontinue study treatment at 
the discretion of the investigator. If the patient received a live virus vaccination during the 
study, the patient must discontinue study treatment.
∀
If the patient experiences an intolerable increase of psoriasis during the course of the trial 
the patient will be discontinued from the trial to receive rescue treatment as deemed 
appropriate by the investigator.
∀
The patient has repeatedly shown to be non-compliant with important trial procedures 
and, in the opinion of both, the investigator and CML, is not willing or able to stick to the 
trial requirements in the future.
Discontinuation of study medication should not lead to withdrawal from the study. If possible 
the patient should complete all study visits and procedures as initially planned.
Given the patient’s agreement, the patient will undergo the procedures for early treatment 
discontinuation and follow-up as outlined in the Flow Chart and Section 6.2.3. If a patient
becomes pregnant, refer to Section 5.3.6.2 for instructions.
Patients who discontinue the trial after receiving the first dose of study medication at Visit 2

will not be replaced.
For randomised patients leaving the study before the planned end of observation (EOO), their 
vital status should be collected at Week 56.
For randomised patients the reason for withdrawal (e.g., AEs) must be recorded in the case 
report form (CRF). These data will be included in the trial database and reported.
Discontinuation of the trial by the sponsor
3.3.4.2
BI/AbbVie reserves the right to discontinue the trial overall or at a particular trial site at any 
time for the following reasons:
1. Failure to meet expected enrolment goals overall or at a particular trial site
2. Emergence of any efficacy/safety information that could significantly affect continuation 
of the trial, or any other administrative reason (e.g., discontinuation of development of BI 
655066)
3. Violation of Good Clinical Practice (GCP), the clinical trial protocol (CTP), or the 
contract disturbing the appropriate conduct of the trial
The investigator/the trial site will be reimbursed for reasonable expenses incurred in case of 
trial termination (except in case of the third reason).

In conclusion, above two doses (75 mg and 150 mg) are selected for this trial.
4.1.3
Method of assigning patients to treatment groups
Through the utilisation of IRT, patients will be randomised to receive BI 655066 75 mg, BI 
655066 150 mg, placebo (BI 655066 75 mg after Week 16), or placebo (BI 655066 150 mg 
after Week 16) in a ratio of 2:2:1:1 (See Section 3.1).  
After the eligibility criteria are confirmed, the investigator or designee will randomise the 
patient on Day 1 (Visit 2) through IRT call or website entry. At visits where study medication 
is to be administered, study sites will be required to complete the medication resupply 
module in the IRT. Details regarding the use of the IRT are described in the site-user manual 
available in the ISF.
4.1.4
Drug assignment and administration of doses for each patient
An IRT will be used to allocate medication to patients through medication numbers. These 
visits where study medication is to be administered are specified in the Flow Chart. 
At randomisation as well as subsequent medication administration visits, IRT will assign 
medication numbers. Site personnel will enter the medication numbers in the eCRF. 
Study drugs will be administered subcutaneously. Injections will be given in a double-
blind/double-dummy fashion with each patient receiving 2 injections at each dosing visit:  2 
injections of BI 655066, one injection of BI 655066 and one injection of matching placebo or 
2 injections of matching placebo depending on randomized dosing group. Syringes will be 
administered per Flow Chart schedule as assigned by IRT. 
The injections at each visit, including injections of placebo necessary in order to assure 
blinding are presented in Table 4.1.4: 1.   
BI 655066 and/or matching placebo will be administered as a subcutaneous injection in the 
abdomen, thighs, gluteal regions, or upper arms (contra-lateral to that used for PK/ADA
samples). Injections should be at least 2cm apart and should not be close to a vein. The 
injection sites should avoid sites of psoriasis involvement as well as sites where the skin is 
tender, bruised, erythematous, or indurated, and should be alternated to other areas for 
subsequent doses. The 2 injections at each dosing visit should be administered within 
approximately 5 minutes.  Further information regarding injection details will be provided in 
the ISF.

Blinding and procedures for unblinding
Blinding
4.1.5.1
After randomisation at Visit2, patients, Investigators and everyone involved in trial conduct 
or analysis or with any other interest in this double-blind trial will remain blinded with regard 
to the randomised treatment assignments until after final database lock.
The randomization code will be kept secret by clinical trial support up to final database lock.
The randomisation codes will be provided to bioanalytics prior to last patient out to allow
them to exclude PK samples of placebo patients from the bioanalytical analyses. Bioanalytics 
will not disclose the randomisation code or the results of their measurements until the trial is 
officially unblinded. Serum drug levels and demographic data together with treatment 
assignments and dosing information may be made available to individuals outside of the trial 
team for the purpose of PK dataset generation and analysis in accordance with sponsor’s 
standard procedures.
The randomisation code will be unblinded to personnel involved in the interim analysis.
Unblinding and breaking the code
4.1.5.2
Emergency unblinding will be available to the principal investigator via IRT. It must only be 
used in an emergency situation when the identity of the trial drug must be known to the 
Investigator in order to provide appropriate medical treatment or otherwise assure safety of

trial participants. Each principal investigator receives a manual from the IRT provider that 
contains instructions on how to unblind the treatment of a patient via the IRT. If the code 
break for a patient is accessed, the sponsor must be informed immediately. The reason for 
accessing the code break, together with the date, must be documented in the source 
documents and/or the appropriate eCRF page along with the date and the initials of the 
person who broke the code. In case third party needs to break the code, however, when the 
Investigator cannot be reached, the code can be opened by calling emergency code manager
(Refer trial identification card).
Due to the requirements to report SUSARs, it may be necessary for a representative from 
BI’s Pharmacovigilance group to access the randomisation code for individual patients during 
trial conduct. The access to the code will only be given to authorised pharmacovigilance 
representatives and not be shared further. 
4.1.6
Packaging, labelling, and re-supply
The investigational products will be provided by BI or a designated CRO. They will be 
packaged and labelled in accordance with the principles of Good Manufacturing Practice 
(GMP).  Re-supply to the sites will be managed via an IRT system, which will also monitor 
expiry dates of supplies available at the sites.
For details of packaging and the description of the label, refer to the ISF.
4.1.7
Storage conditions
Drug supplies will be kept in their original packaging and in a secure limited access storage 
area according to the recommended storage conditions on the medication label. A 
temperature log must be maintained for documentation.
If the storage conditions are found to be outside the specified range, the sponsor must be 
contacted immediately. Refer to ISF.
Trial medication must be securely stored, e.g., in a locked refrigerator or at a pharmacy. The 
medication may only be dispensed to trial patients according to the CTP by authorised 
personnel as documented in the trial staff list.
4.1.8
Drug accountability
The investigator/pharmacist who is documented in the trial staff list/investigational drug 
storage manager will receive the investigational drugs delivered by the sponsor when the 
following requirements are fulfilled:
∀
Approval of the trial protocol by the institutional review board (IRB)
∀
Availability of a signed and dated clinical trial contract between the sponsor and the head 
of the investigational site,
∀
Notification of the regulatory authority, e.g., competent authority,
∀
Availability of the curriculum vitae of the principal investigator,
∀
Availability of a signed and dated CTP,

∀
Availability of the proof of a medical license for the principal investigator 
The investigator/pharmacist who is documented in the trial staff list/investigational drug 
storage manager must maintain records of the product’s delivery to the trial site, the 
inventory at the site, the use by each patient, and the return to the sponsor or warehouse/drug 
distribution centre or alternative disposal of unused products. If applicable, the sponsor or 
warehouse/drug distribution centre will maintain records of the disposal. 
These records will include dates, quantities, batch/serial numbers, expiry (‘use- by’) dates, 
and the unique code numbers assigned to the investigational product and trial patients. The 
investigator/pharmacist who is documented in the trial staff list/investigational drug storage 
manager will maintain records that document adequately that the patients were provided the 
doses specified by the CTP and reconcile all investigational products received from the 
sponsor. At the time of return to the sponsor or appointed CRO, the investigator/pharmacist
who is documented in the trial staff list/investigational drug storage manager must verify that 
no remaining supplies are in the Investigator’s possession.
All unused medication must be returned to the sponsor.

Other treatments and emergency procedures
There are no special emergency procedures to be followed.
Stable doses of concomitant therapies for chronic conditions, for which neither the condition 
nor the treatment are judged to exclude the patient from participation (See Section 3.3) are 
permissible. All concomitant medications should be carefully evaluated by the investigator 
and the CML should be contacted when there are questions regarding concomitant 
medications.  
In the event that a patient experiences an intolerable increase of psoriasis, as deemed by the 
investigator, during the course of the trial the patient will be discontinued from the trial to 
receive rescue treatment. 
In case of AEs in need of treatment symptomatic therapy according to investigator judgment 
will be permitted. All concomitant and/or rescue therapies will be recorded on the appropriate

ASSESSMENT OF SAFETY
5.3
Safety will be assessed descriptively based on: 
•
Adverse events
•
Serious adverse events
•
Clinical laboratory values (haematology, clinical chemistry, and urinalysis) 
•
Intensity of AEs will be assessed by Rheumatology Common Toxicity Criteria (RCTC) 
version 2.0 (refer to ISF for details)
5.3.1
Physical examination
Complete and targeted physical examinations will be performed at visits as described in the 
Flow Chart. Complete physical examination will include vital signs assessment and general 
appearance as well as evaluation of all relevant organ systems. Targeted physical 
examination will include vital signs assessment and evaluation of organ systems associated 
with AE(s) symptoms or laboratory abnormalities.
Clinically relevant abnormal findings will be reported as baseline conditions or AEs.
Waist circumference
5.3.1.1
Waist circumference measurements should be made around a patient’s bare midriff, after the 
patient exhales while standing without shoes and with both feet touching and arms hanging 
freely. The tape should be placed perpendicular to the long axis of the body and horizontal to 
the floor and applied with sufficient tension to conform to the measurement surface. Waist 
circumference should be determined by measuring the midpoint between the lowest rib and 
the iliac crest.
Body Weight
5.3.1.2
Body weight measurements should be done on the same scale for each patient. In order to get 
comparable body weight values, it should be performed in the following way:
∀
fasting (except for the screening visit)
∀
after the urine sampling (body weight after bladder voiding)
∀
shoes and coat/jackets should be taken off
∀
pockets should be emptied of heavy objects (i.e., keys, coins, etc.)
5.3.2
Vital Signs
Vital signs evaluations will be performed at visits as shown in the Flow Chart. This includes 
systolic/diastolic blood pressure, pulse rate, temperature, and respiratory rate. Blood pressure, 
pulse rate, and respiratory rate will be measured after patients have been sitting comfortably 
for at least five minutes. Measurement of vital signs should precede blood sampling to avoid 
the impact of blood sampling on the vital measurements. At dosing visits vital signs

evaluations will be performed pre-dose and at Visit 2 and Visit 3 additional evaluations will 
be taken at approximately 5 minutes post-dose (5 minutes after last injection) and 
approximately 60 minutes post-dose (60 minutes after last injection). 
Patients should be closely monitored for signs and symptoms of hypersensitivity reactions for 
approximately 2 hours after the last injection at Visit 2 and for approximately 1 hour after the 
last injection at all other visits with drug administration. Hypersensitivity reactions should be 
treated according to medical standards. Pre-medications for further injections might be 
considered and will be agreed on between investigator and BI clinical monitor.
5.3.3
Safety laboratory parameters
The laboratory tests listed in Table 5.3.3: 1 will be performed by the central laboratory 
service provider. A local laboratory may be used for selected tests in exceptional cases. 
Patients should be fasting for at least 8 hours prior to the blood sample being taken (except 
screening visit).
Instructions regarding sample collection, sample handling/processing, and sample shipping 
are provided in the Laboratory Manual in the ISF. For time points of laboratory sampling, see 
Flow Chart.
Laboratory results (i.e., all safety laboratory and clinical laboratory data relevant for current 
clinical practice) of the patients will be available in real time to the respective investigator 
(via laboratory reports) and to the sponsor (via the central laboratory website) and selected 
abnormal laboratory alerts will be flagged to the site and sent to sponsor in real time. 
Clinically relevant abnormal findings will be reported as baseline conditions or AE’s. A 
clinically relevant value may be either in or outside the reference range. Clinically relevant 
abnormal laboratory test results must be confirmed using an unscheduled visit laboratory kit 
and should be repeated until normalisation or stabilisation or until an alternative explanation 
has been found. Abnormal laboratory values will be also graded for intensity by using RCTC 
Version 2.0 criteria (R13-3515).

5.3.6
Assessment of adverse events
Definitions of AEs 
5.3.6.1
Adverse event
An adverse event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical 
investigation subject administered a medicinal product and which does not necessarily have 
to have a causal relationship with this treatment.
An AE can therefore be any unfavourable and unintended sign (including an abnormal 
laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal 
product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product.
Adverse reaction
An adverse reaction is defined as a response to a medicinal product which is noxious and
unintended. Response in this context means that a causal relationship between a medicinal
product and an AE is at least a reasonable possibility. Adverse reactions may arise from use 
of the product within or outside the terms of the marketing authorisation or from occupational 
exposure. Conditions of use outside the marketing authorisation include off-label use, 
overdose, misuse, abuse, and medication errors.
Serious adverse event
A serious adverse event (SAE) is defined as any AE which:
∀
results in death,
∀
is life-threatening, this refers to an event in which the patient was at risk of death at
the time of the event; it does not refer to an event that hypothetically might have
caused death if more severe.
∀
requires inpatient hospitalisation or 
∀
prolongation of existing hospitalisation,
∀
results in persistent or significant disability or incapacity, or
∀
is a congenital anomaly/birth defect, or

∀
is to be deemed serious for any other reason if it is an important medical event when 
based upon appropriate medical judgment which may jeopardise the patient and may 
require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the other outcomes listed in 
the above definitions.
Medical and scientific judgement should be exercised in deciding whether other situations
should be considered serious reactions, such as important medical events that might not be
immediately life threatening or result in death or hospitalisation but might jeopardise the
patient or might require intervention to prevent one of the other outcomes listed above.
Examples of such events are intensive treatment in an emergency room or at home for
allergic bronchospasm, blood dyscrasias, or convulsions that do not result in hospitalisation 
or development of dependency or abuse. Any suspected transmission via a medicinal product 
of an infectious agent is also considered a serious adverse reaction.
The following events will be handled as “deemed serious for any other reason”. 
An AE which possibly leads to disability will be reported as an SAE.
AEs considered “Always Serious”
Cancers of new histology and exacerbations of existing cancer must be reported as a serious
event regardless of the duration between discontinuation of the drug and the occurrence of the
cancer.
In accordance with the European Medicines Agency initiative on Important Medical Events, 
BI has set up a list of further AEs, which by their nature, can always be considered to be 
“serious” even though they may not have met the criteria of an SAE as given above.
The latest list of “Always Serious AEs” can be found in the EDC-system. These events 
should always be reported as SAEs as given above.
Adverse events of special interest (AESIs)
The term AESI relates to any specific AE that has been identified at the project level as being 
of particular concern for prospective safety monitoring and safety assessment within this trial, 
e.g., the potential for AEs based on knowledge from other compounds in the same class. 
AESI need to be reported to the sponsor’s Pharmacovigilance Department within the same 
timeframe that applies to SAE. Please see above.
The following are considered as AESIs:
Hepatic injury
A hepatic injury is defined by the following alterations of hepatic laboratory parameters: 
•
an elevation of AST and/or ALT ≥3 fold ULN combined with an elevation of total 
bilirubin ≥2 fold ULN measured in the same blood draw sample, and/or
•
marked peak aminotransferase (ALT, and/or AST) elevations ≥10 fold ULN
These lab findings constitute a hepatic injury alert and the patients showing these lab 
abnormalities need to be followed up according to the “DILI checklist” provided in the ISF.

001-MCS-40-106-RD-03 (13 0) / Saved on: 05 Aug 2015
In case of clinical symptoms of hepatic injury (icterus, unexplained encephalopathy, 
unexplained coagulopathy, right upper quadrant abdominal pain, etc.) without lab results 
(ALT, AST, total bilirubin) available, the investigator should make sure these parameters are 
analysed, if necessary in an unscheduled blood test. Should the results meet the criteria of 
hepatic injury alert, the procedures described in the DILI checklist should be followed.
Intensity of AEs
The intensity grading of AEs will be performed according to Rheumatology Common 
Toxicity Criteria (RCTC) Version 2.0 developed by OMERACT (R13-3515). Refer to ISF 
for intensity/severity classification.  Intensity options are:  
Grade 1 
mild
Grade 2 
moderate
Grade 3 
severe
Grade 4 
life –threatening
Causal relationship of AEs
The definition of an adverse reaction implies at least a reasonable possibility of a causal
relationship between a suspected medicinal product and an AE. An adverse reaction, in 
contrast to an AE, is characterised by the fact that a causal relationship between a medicinal 
product and an occurrence is suspected.
Medical judgment should be used to determine the relationship, considering all relevant
factors, including pattern of reaction, temporal relationship, de-challenge or re-challenge,
confounding factors such as concomitant medication, concomitant diseases and relevant
history.
Arguments that may suggest that there is a reasonable possibility of a causal relationship
could be:
• The event is consistent with the known pharmacology of the drug
• The event is known to be caused by or attributed to the drug class.
• A plausible time to onset of the event relative to the time of drug exposure.
• Evidence that the event is reproducible when the drug is re-introduced
• No medically sound alternative etiologies that could explain the event (e.g., preexisting or 
concomitant diseases, or co-medications).
• The event is typically drug-related and infrequent in the general population not exposed to 
drugs (e.g. Stevens-Johnson syndrome).
• An indication of dose-response (i.e., greater effect size if the dose is increased, smaller
effect size if dose is diminished).
Arguments that may suggest that there is no reasonable possibility of a causal relationship
could be:
• No plausible time to onset of the event relative to the time of drug exposure is evident
(e.g., pre-treatment cases, diagnosis of cancer or chronic disease within days/weeks of drug 
administration; an allergic reaction week after discontinuation of the drug concerned)
• Continuation of the event despite the withdrawal of the medication, taking into account the 
pharmacological properties of the compound (e.g., after 5 half-lives).

Of note, this criterion may not be applicable to events whose time course is prolonged despite 
removing the original trigger.
• Additional arguments amongst those stated before, like alternative explanation (e.g.
situations where other drugs or underlying diseases appear to provide a more likely
explanation for the observed event than the drug concerned).
• Disappearance of the event even though the study drug treatment continues or remains
unchanged.
Adverse event collection and reporting
5.3.6.2
AE Collection
The Investigator shall maintain and keep detailed records of all AEs in their patient files.
The following must be collected and documented on the appropriate CRF by the investigator:
∀
From signing the informed consent onwards through the residual effect period (REP) until 
individual patient’s end of trial:
-
all AEs (serious and non-serious) and all AESIs.
However, if an individual patient discontinues trial medication prematurely but stays in 
the trial (i.e., if further visits including telephone visits, or vital status assessments are 
planned) from then on and until the individual patient’s end of the trial the investigator 
must report related SAEs and related AESIs
∀
After the individual patient’s end of trial:
The investigator does not need to actively monitor the patient for AEs but should only 
report relevant SAEs and relevant AESIs of which the investigator may become aware of.
The REP is defined as 15 weeks after the last trial medication application. All AEs which 
occurred through the treatment phase and throughout the REP will be considered as on 
treatment please see Section 7.3.4. Events which occurred after the REP will be considered as 
post treatment events.

The investigator must report SAEs, AESIs, and non-serious AEs which are relevant for the 
reported SAE or AESI, on the BI SAE form via fax immediately (within 24 hours ) to the 
sponsor’s unique entry point (country specific contact details will be provided in the ISF). 
The same timeline applies if follow-up information becomes available. In specific occasions 
the investigator could inform the sponsor upfront via telephone. This does not replace the 
requirement to complete and fax the BI SAE form.
All SAEs and AESIs must be reported immediately to the head of the trial site.
With receipt of any further information to these events, a follow-up SAE form has to be
provided. For follow-up information the same rules and timeline apply as for initial 
information.
Information required
For each AE, the Investigator should provide the information requested on the appropriate
CRF pages and the BI SAE form. The Investigator should determine the causal relationship
to the trial medication. 
The following should also be recorded as an (S)AE in the eCRF and SAE form (if 
applicable):
∀Worsening of the underlying disease or of other pre-existing conditions
∀Changes in vital signs, ECG, physical examination and laboratory test results, if they 
are judged clinically relevant by the investigator.
If such abnormalities already pre-exist prior trial inclusion they will be considered as baseline 
conditions.
All (S)AEs, including those persisting after individual patient’s end of trial must be followed 
up until they have resolved, have been sufficiently characterised, or no further information 
can be obtained.
Pregnancy
In the rare case pregnancy may occur in a clinical trial. Once a patient has been enrolled into
this clinical trial and has taken trial medication, the investigator must report immediately 
(within 24 hours) a potential drug exposure during pregnancy (DEDP) to the sponsor’s 
unique entry point (contact details will be provided in the ISF). The Pregnancy Monitoring 
Form for Clinical Trials (Part A) should be used. 
The outcome of the pregnancy associated with the drug exposure during pregnancy must be 
followed up and reported to the sponsor’s unique entry point on the Pregnancy Monitoring 
Form for Clinical Trials (Part B). 
The ISF will contain the Pregnancy Monitoring Form for Clinical Trials (Part A and B).
As pregnancy itself is not to be reported as an AE, in the absence of an accompanying SAE 
and/or AESI, only the Pregnancy Monitoring Form for Clinical Trials and not the SAE form

is to be completed. If there is an SAE and/or AESI associated with the pregnancy as an SAE 
form must be completed in addition. 
Adverse event(s) due to Medical device failure of trial medication
The investigator must report “Medical device failure” that leads to AEs or is judged as a 
potential cause for leading SAEs by the investigator, on the Product/Device Complaints 
Form to the sponsor, see the instruction in ISF. “Medical device failure” that lead to SAEs 
and/or AESIs or is judged as a potential cause for leading SAE must be reported to the 
sponsor’s Pharmacovigilance Department immediately.
DRUG CONCENTRATION MEASUREMENTS AND 
5.4
PHARMACOKINETICS
5.4.1
Assessment of Pharmacokinetics
BI 655066 concentrations will be reported descriptively. No PK parameters will be calculated. 
PK data will be incorporated into a larger pharmacometric analysis with other trials of BI 
655066 project. The relationship between PK and selected efficacy endpoints, biomarkers,
and AEs may be assessed. PK and demographic data together with treatment assignments and 
dosing information may be made available to individuals outside of the trial team for the 
purpose of PK dataset generation in accordance with sponsor’s standard procedures.  
Detailed information on timing for dosing, PK and ADA sampling is provided in the Flow 
Chart. Date and exact clock time of drug administration and PK and ADA sampling will be 
recorded on eCRFs. These actual administration and sampling times will be used for 
determination of PK parameters. On visits with study medication dosing, PK and ADA 
sampling should occur prior to the drug administration.
5.4.2
Methods of sample collection
Plasma sampling for pharmacokinetic analysis 
5.4.2.1
For quantification of analyte plasma concentrations, approximately 3 mL of blood will be 
taken at the time points listed in the Flow Chart under PK sampling. For details on sample 
handling and logistics refer to the ISF (Laboratory Manual).  
After completion of the study, plasma samples may be used for further methodological 
investigations, e.g., stability testing. However, only data related to the analyte will be 
generated by these additional investigations.  
Plasma sampling for ADA
5.4.2.2
For ADA assessment, approximately 3 mL of blood will be taken at the time points listed in 
the Flow Chart under ADA sampling. For details on sample handling and logistics refer to the 
ISF (Laboratory Manual). Following the finalisation of the ADA bioanalytical report, 
selected ADA aliquots may be transferred to long term storage for possible additional ADA 
characterisation in the future.

5.4.3
Analytical determinations
BI 655066 concentrations will be determined by a validated Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent 
Assay (ELISA).
The presence of ADA to BI 655066 will be assessed via a tiered approach using a validated 
electrochemiluminescence assay (screening, confirmatory, and titration analysis as 
appropriate). Samples that are confirmed positive may be further characterised in a validated 
neutralising antibody assay.
5.4.4
Pharmacokinetic – Pharmacodynamic Relationship
Refer to Section 7.3.6.
ASSESSMENT OF BIOMARKERS 
5.5
5.5.1
Assessment of soluble protein biomarkers
Serum will be collected to assess changes in protein levels of disease specific markers such as 
but not limited to #-defensin 2, neutrophil gelatinase associated lipocalin-2 (NGAL), S-100 
A8 protein and adiponectin over time. In addition, changes in levels of biomarkers related to 
metabolic syndrome such as leptin, resistin, TNFa, IL-6 and VEGF will be explored.
Methods of sample collection
5.5.1.1
Approximately 8.5 ml of blood will be collected at time points indicated in the Flow Chart.
Samples should be collected prior to administration of study drug at dosing visits. For details
on sample handling and logistics refer to the ISF (Laboratory Manual).
Analytical determinations
5.5.1.2
These biomarkers are considered exploratory and respective assays will need to be qualified
to meet the required performance criteria.
5.5.2
Biomarker sample banking
After completion of the study any unused serum samples collected for biomarker sampling as 
listed in Section 5.5.1 may be used for further investigations (e.g., additional biomarkers for 
immunological & inflammatory diseases), if participation and the informed consent for 
biomarker sample banking is agreed upon by the patient. Declination to allow storage and use 
of these samples will not preclude participation in this study. The study samples will be 
stored for a maximum period of 15 years (under consideration of local legislation and if 
consented by the patient) upon archiving of the final study report after study completion.

INVESTIGATIONAL PLAN
VISIT SCHEDULE
6.1
All patients are to adhere to the visit schedule as specified in the Flow Chart. Each visit date 
(with its window) is to be counted from Day 1. If any visit has to be rescheduled, subsequent 
visits should follow the original visit date schedule. Additional visits for the purpose of re-
testing of laboratory parameters or AE monitoring may be included as deemed necessary by 
the investigator.
DETAILS OF TRIAL PROCEDURES AT SELECTED VISITS
6.2
Study procedures to be performed at each visit are listed in the Flow Chart and the respective 
protocol sections. Refer to Section 5 for explanations of procedures. Additional details on 
procedures at selected visits are provided below.
Measurement of vital signs should precede blood sampling and be assessed pre-dose at all 
dosing visits.  
Patient reported outcome (PRO)s should be completed by the patient on his/her own in the
pre-specified order (as programmed on the electronic device) in a quiet area/room before any 
other visit assessments or treatments, and, if possible, before any interaction with the 
investigator or other members of the study team. 
The order of completion for PROs is as follows, as applicable for each PRO at relevant visits 
according to the Flow Chart:
(1) PSS
(2) DLQI
(3) HAQ-DI (for PsA assessments) 
(4) Pain visual analog scale (VAS) (for PsA assessments)
(5) Patient global assessment VAS (for PsA assessments)
6.2.1
Screening period
No trial procedures should be done unless the patient has consented to taking part in the trial.
Once consented, the patient is considered to be enrolled in the trial and has started screening. 
The patient number should be recorded on the enrolment log and registered in IRT as a 
screened patient.
Screening (Visit 1) should normally take place no more than 42 days before Visit 2 and be 
completed no less than 14 days prior to Visit 2. Screening procedures may be extended to 
more than one physical visit, if needed.
Re-screening will not be permitted. Patients who fail screening following Visit 1 assessments 
should be registered as a screen failure in IRT.

Medical History
Cardiovascular (CV) History and CV risk factors will be collected and reported in the 
Medical History eCRF page. 
Baseline Conditions
Chronic diseases, current observable conditions, any new clinically relevant findings 
discovered from the physical examination, ECG, safety laboratory tests, and any condition 
requiring therapy (excluding psoriasis) will be reported on the Baseline Condition CRF page.
Psoriatic Arthritis Diagnosis Assessment
At Visit 1, all patients with a positive medical history of psoriatic arthritis will be further 
evaluated for psoriatic arthritis (PsA) diagnosis based on CASPAR (ClASsification of 
Psoriatic Arthritis) criteria (R15-1001). See Appendix 10.3 for further details
IRT
All patients who are screened must be registered with IRT. If the patient results in a screen 
failure, IRT should be notified as soon as possible and within the 42-day screening period. 
Details of IRT procedures can be found in the IRT manual located in the ISF.
For the comprehensive list of the trial procedures required at the Screening Visit (Visit 1) 
please refer to Flow chart.
6.2.2
Treatment period
The treatment period is from Visit 2 to EOT Visit.  
Visits 2, 4, 6, 8, EOT, and FU2/EOO will be performed in fasted state (8 hours no food and 
only water). If a patient comes in non-fasted where a fasting condition is required, the visit 
should be performed, the non-fasted condition documented on the laboratory requisition, and 
the patient reminded about the expected conditions.
Urine pregnancy testing for all woman of child-bearing potential will be conducted on-site 
prior to every dosing and must be negative to further treat the patient. A positive urine test 
must be confirmed with a serum pregnancy test.
Randomisation via IRT and administration of study medication should be the last activity at 
Visit 2.
Venipuncture (i.e., safety laboratories, PK, ADA, biomarkers) should be the last procedure 
prior to study drug administration.

6.2.3
Follow-Up Period and Trial Completion
For all randomised patients termination of trial medication and trial completion must be 
recorded on the corresponding eCRFs.
Early treatment and trial termination 
6.2.3.1
If study medication is discontinued prior to the planned Flow Chart EOT visit, every effort 
should be made to have the patient continue in the trial and complete all of the remaining 
Treatment Period Visits, as well as Follow-Up 1 and Follow-Up 2 Visits.  Trial termination 
should be completed at Follow-Up 2 Visit and Follow-Up 3 Visit should not be completed. 
If a patient cannot or will not continue in the trial, the patient should complete EOT visit 
procedures instead of the planned treatment period visit and return to the clinic for Follow-Up 
3/End of Observation (FU3/EOO) Visit 16 weeks after last dose of study medication.
Patients who discontinue treatment early should be registered as withdrawn/discontinued in 
IRT will not have the option to participate in the extension trial.   
Trial completion
6.2.3.2
Patients who finish the randomised treatment period will return to the clinic for Follow-Up 1 
Visit (FU1) and Follow-Up 2 Visit (FU2). Completion is defined as a patient having reached 
the FU2 visit within the specified window per the Flow Chart. Patients who complete the 
randomised treatment period without early treatment discontinuation will have the option to 
participate in the extension trial.  
After FU1 Visit, the Flow Chart visit schedule is dependent on extension participation:
∀
Patient who will not participate in the extension trial will return to the clinic 
for FU2/EOO Visit and FU3/EOO Visit. Trial termination will be completed 
at FU3/EOO. The decision not to enter the extension trial will be registered in 
IRT at FU2/EOO Visit.
∀
Patients who participate in the extension trial will complete FU2/EOO as the 
final 1311.38 study visit. Trial termination will be completed at FU2/EOO and 
registered in IRT.

STATISTICAL METHODS AND DETERMINATION OF
SAMPLE SIZE
STATISTICAL DESIGN - MODEL
7.1
This is a confirmatory, multicentre, randomised, double-blind, double-dummy, placebo 
controlled study evaluating the efficacy and safety of two different dose regiments of BI 
655066 in patients with moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis. The primary objective of 
this trial is to assess the safety and efficacy of two different dose regiments of BI 655066 in 
comparison to placebo in patients with moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis.
Baseline refers to the measurement recorded at randomisation (Visit 2); if data at Visit 2 is 
missing, then data from Visit 1 will be considered baseline. The percent reduction from 
baseline is calculated by % PASI reduction from baseline = ((PASI at baseline - PASI at Visit 
X)/PASI at baseline) * 100, at all follow-up visits. Achieving an X% or larger reduction from 
baseline PASI score is denoted as PASI X.
Randomisation will be stratified by concomitant disease of PsA at baseline (Yes versus No) 
and body weight (≤ 90 kg versus >90 kg). Based upon these design considerations and the 
binary nature of the primary endpoint of PASI 90, they will be analysed using the Cochran-
Mantel-Haenszel risk difference estimate stratified by the randomisation factors mentioned 
previously.
NULL AND ALTERNATIVE HYPOTHESES
7.2
The primary hypotheses is that either BI 655066 150 mg or BI 655066 75 mg is superior to 
placebo in achieving ≥90% reduction from baseline in the PASI score (PASI 90) at Week 16 
in participants with moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis.
In order to maintain the full significant level of 5%, the following null hypotheses will be 
tested using fixed-sequence method in the following order, with two-sided alpha level of 
0.05.
1. BI 655066 150 mg is not different from placebo with respect to PASI 90 response at 
Week 16
2. BI 655066 75 mg is not different from placebo with respect to PASI 90 response at 
Week 16
PLANNED ANALYSES
7.3
The efficacy analyses will be based on the intent-to-treat principle, comprising all 
participants who were randomised. Efficacy analyses will be based on the planned treatment 
(i.e., the treatment assigned at randomisation); this set of patients is called the Intent-to-treat 
Population (ITT Population). Safety analyses will be performed on a Safety Population, 
comprising all randomized participants who received at least one dose of study drug. The

001-MCS-40-106-RD-03 (13 0) / Saved on: 05 Aug 2015
safety analysis will be performed based on the actual treatment received at the randomisation 
visit.
To evaluate the impact of protocol deviations on the primary endpoint, additional analyses 
will be performed on a Per-protocol (PP) Population.  The PP Population will include those 
who were most compliant with the protocol in ways that could impact the primary endpoint. 
Final results and the criteria for exclusion of subjects will be finalized prior to the blind 
break. 
The PP Population is defined as all subjects from the ITT Population who meet all the 
following criteria:
●
Subjects must receive at least 75% of planned study drug injections during the 
first 16 Week.  
●
Subjects must have a PASI assessment post-baseline.
●
Inclusion Criterion 2:  Subjects must have stable moderate to severe chronic 
plaque psoriasis at baseline:
○
Have an BSA ≥ 10% and
○
Have a PASI ≥ 12 and
○
Have an sPGA ≥ 3.
PP Populations will be analyzed by treatment group as randomized. 
7.3.1
Primary endpoint analyses
The achievement of PASI 90 at Week 16 is the primary endpoint and is a binary variable with 
values of 0 or 1. The difference in proportion responding between the BI 655066 arm and 
placebo arm will be estimated and tested using the Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel risk difference 
estimate stratified by the randomisation factors of concomitant disease of PsA at baseline 
(Yes versus No) and body weight (≤90 kg versus >90 kg) with weights proposed by 
Greenland & Robins, which is calculated as follows:

If there is a stratum for a treatment group that has 0 patients in it, the 0 count will be replaced 
by 0.1 in order to prevent dividing by 0 in the above equations, as suggested in Greenland & 
Robins. Treatment versus placebo comparisons will include both a p-value and 95% 
confidence interval.
7.3.2
Secondary endpoint analyses
The same methods as discussed for the primary analyses will be used to analyse all binary
secondary endpoint at Week 16.
Secondary endpoints for Week 52 will be summarised descriptively.
7.3.3
Further endpoint analyses
Change from baseline in PSS at Week 16 will be analysed by the van Elteren test between the 
BI 655066 arm and placebo arm. The other further endpoints will be summarised 
descriptively, with number and proportion of responders for dichotomous endpoints and 
mean, median, SD and IQR presented for continuous variables.
Time to onset of Endpoint, the time to event will be calculated as: 
∀
Time to first onset (with observed event) = [date of first onset] – [date of first active 
treatment] + 1
∀
If a patient never attains Endpoint (e.g., PASI75 or PASI90), then that patient’s time 
to first onset will be censored at the last visit where the Endpoint was measured (e.g., 
PASI).
Time to Loss of Endpoint (from time of randomisation), defined using the following
algorithm:
a) Never attains Endpoint (Failure at time 0)
b) After achieving Endpoint, patient will be a failure if they subsequently do not
achieve Endpoint and either discontinue from the study or switch therapy

while still not achieving Endpoint. Time to failure will be calculated using
date of first failure to achieve Endpoint.
c) Patients randomised to placebo will have Week 16 (i.e. when they begin
taking BI 655066) as Day 0 for determining Time to Loss of response.
d) Patients who maintain Endpoint throughout the study will be censored at their
last measurement
Time to Loss of Endpoint (from time of achieving Endpoint or from specific point in time) 
will be defined as above but only for those patients that have achieved Endpoint.
All Time to Event endpoints will be presented using Kaplan-Meier curves.
As sensitivity analysis, the primary and secondary endpoints will be analysed in the same 
way based on PP Population.
7.3.4
Safety analyses
AEs will be coded using the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA) coding 
dictionary. Standard AbbVie summary tables and listings will be produced. All AEs with an 
onset between start of treatment and end of the REP, a period of 15 weeks after the last dose 
of trial medication, will be assigned to the treatment period for evaluation.
All treated patients will be included in the safety analysis. In general, safety analyses will be 
descriptive in nature and will be based on AbbVie standards. No hypothesis testing is planned.
Statistical analysis and reporting of AEs will concentrate on treatment-emergent AEs. To this 
end, all AEs occurring between start of treatment and end of the REP will be considered 
‘treatment-emergent’. The residual effect period is defined as 15 weeks after the last trial 
medication application. Adverse events that start before first drug intake and deteriorate 
under treatment will also be considered as ‘treatment-emergent’.
Frequency, severity, and causal relationship of AEs will be tabulated by system organ class 
and preferred term after coding according to the current version of the MedDRA.
Laboratory data will be analysed both quantitatively as well as qualitatively. The latter will 
be done via comparison of laboratory data to their reference ranges. Values outside the 
reference range as well as values defined as clinically relevant will be highlighted in the 
listings. Treatment groups will be compared descriptively with regard to distribution 
parameters as well as with regard to frequency and percentage of patients with abnormal 
values or clinically relevant abnormal values.
Vital signs, physical examinations, or other safety-relevant data observed at screening, 
baseline, during the course of the trial and at the end-of-trial evaluation will be assessed with 
regard to possible changes compared to findings before start of treatment.

7.3.5
Pharmacokinetic analyses
Descriptive statistics of BI 655066 concentration measurements by treatment group and visit 
will be provided.
PK data will be analysed using population PK approaches. For this purpose, data may also be 
combined with data from other trials and the results will be reported separately from the 
clinical trial report (CTR). Detail of the population PK analysis plan will be specified 
separately.
7.3.6
Pharmacodynamic analyses
No formal analysis of pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic relationships is planned. As the 
data from previous trials with BI 655066 suggest a PK- PD relationship for efficacy 
endpoints such as PASI, population PK-PD analyses will be performed. For this purpose, data 
may also be combined with data from other trials. Model based analyses will be planned and 
documented separately according to internal and external guidelines and SOPs. Other 
exploratory analyses of drug concentration, biomarker, or safety data may be performed using 
data obtained as part of this trial.
7.3.7
Biomarker analyses
Changes in serum protein biomarker levels over time will be described by treatment group. 
INTERIM ANALYSES
7.4
Before the submission to regulatory agencies with the long-term data, an interim report will 
be prepared for the submissions. An analysis will be conducted when the last patient 
completes the Week 28 visit. Primary endpoint (PASI 90 score at Week 16) for all patients 
will be included in the Week 28 analyses; hence no alpha adjustment is required at the Week 
28 analysis. For this analysis all efficacy endpoints and safety as well as PK and 
immunogenicity data will be analysed. As endpoints for Week 28, same analyses will be 
performed for the Week 52 endpoints defined in Section 5.
An independent team will be unblinded to perform this analysis. Unblinded treatment 
assignments will not be disseminated to the sites, investigators, or patients until the end of 
final database lock. 
HANDLING OF MISSING DATA
7.5
Every effort should be made to collect complete data at all visits.
The following rules will be used to impute for missing data:
-
For all non-binary endpoints, LOCF (Last Observation Carried Forward) will be used 
to impute missing values
-
For all binary endpoints (i.e., endpoints that are either 1 (patient responded) or 0 
(patient did not respond)):
-
If no data after that visit, then impute as failure (No Response Imputation [NRI])

-
If data at visits before and after, only impute as success if both visits are 
successes;
else impute as failure
Missing items from the PROs will be handled according to the respective measure
instructions (cf. Appendix 10.3). If there is no data for a particular visit, then it will be 
imputed following the same rules as described above.
Sensitivity analyses to assess the robustness of the hypothesis testing results will include:
∀
LOCF (for binary endpoints)
∀
Logistic regression
∀
MMRM (for continuous endpoints)
∀
Multiple imputation (for binary endpoints)
RANDOMISATION
7.6
Patients will be randomised in blocks to double-blind treatment, stratified by concomitant 
disease of PsA at baseline (Yes versus No) and body weight (≤90 kg versus >90 kg). Patients 
will be randomised to 4 sequences in a ratio of 1:1:2:2 within each level of stratification. 
Sequence 1: Weeks 0-16: Placebo, Weeks 16-52: BI 655066 75 mg
Sequence 2: Weeks 0-16: Placebo, Weeks 16-52: BI 655066 150 mg
Sequence 3: Weeks 0-16: BI 655066 75 mg, Weeks 16-52: BI 655066 75 mg
Sequence 4: Weeks 0-16: BI 655066 150 mg, Weeks 16-52: BI 655066 150 mg
BI will arrange for the randomisation and the packaging and labelling of trial medication. The 
randomisation lists will be generated using a validated system, which involves a pseudo-
random number generator so that the resulting treatment will be both reproducible and non-
predictable. The block sizes will be documented in the CTR. Access to the codes will be 
controlled and documented.
DETERMINATION OF SAMPLE SIZE
7.7
The study is powered to show a benefit of BI 655066 over placebo in terms of PASI 90 
response at Week 16. Based on the outcome from the trial 1311.2, the PASI 90 response rate 
at Week 16 is assumed to be at least 65% in the BI 655066 arm. There is only minimal data 
available on placebo response in the BI 655066 program but the phase 3 results from 
ustekinumab and secukinumab indicate a response rate for PASI 90 of approximately 5% in 
the placebo arm. With 2-sided significance level 5%, based on these assumptions (65% vs 5% 
PASI 90 response rates), 17 patients in the BI 655066 arm and 17 in the placebo arm will 
provide 95% power for each comparison and an overall power of at least 90%.
For the Japanese submission, the safety data of at least 100 Japanese patients exposed to BI 
655066 at the registered dose(s) for 1 year or more is necessary for long team safety 
assessment as a result of the PMDA consultation meeting in 2015. This study will enrol a 
total of 168 patients, with 56 patients in each of the two BI 655066 arms and 56 patients in 
the placebo arm. It is expected that at least 68 patients exposed to BI 655066 75 mg and 68

patients exposed to BI 655066 150 mg will reach at least 1 year exposure to BI 655066 in this 
clinical trial or in the following extension study. Other global phase III trials where Japanese 
patients are to be enrolled will make up for the remaining safety data requirements.

trials.boehringer-ingelheim.com. The rights of the Investigator and of the sponsor with regard 
to publication of the results of this trial are described in the contract with trial site. As a rule, 
no trial results should be published prior to finalisation of the CTR.
The rights of the Investigator/trial site and of the sponsor with regard to publication of the 
results of this trial are described in the Investigator contract/trial site’s contract. As a general 
rule, no trial results should be published prior to finalisation of the CTR.
The certificate of insurance cover is made available to the Investigator and the patients, and is 
stored in the ISF (Investigator Site File).
TRIAL APPROVAL, PATIENT INFORMATION, INFORMED 
8.1
CONSENT
This trial will be initiated only after all required legal documentation has been reviewed and 
approved by the respective IRB according to national and international regulations. The same 
applies for the implementation of changes introduced by amendments.
Prior to patient participation in the trial, written informed consent must be obtained from each 
patient (or the patient’s legally accepted representative) according to ICH/GCP and to the 
regulatory and legal requirements of Japan. Each signature must be personally dated by each 
signatory and the informed consent and any additional patient-information form retained by 
the Investigator as part of the trial records. A signed copy of the informed consent and any 
additional patient information must be given to each patient or the patient’s legally accepted 
representative.
The Investigator must give a full explanation to trial patients based on the patient information 
form. A language understandable to the patient should be chosen, technical terms and 
expressions avoided, if possible. The patient must be given sufficient time to consider 
participation in the trial. The Investigator obtains written consent of the patient’s own free

will with the informed consent form after confirming that the patient understands the contents. 
The Investigator must sign (or place a seal on) and date the informed consent form. If a trial 
collaborator has given a supplementary explanation, the trial collaborator also signs (or 
places a seal on) and dates the informed consent.
Re-consenting may become necessary when new relevant information becomes available and 
should be conducted according to the sponsor’s instructions.
The consent and re-consenting process should be properly documented in the source 
documentation.
DATA QUALITY ASSURANCE
8.2
A quality assurance audit/inspection of this trial may be conducted by the sponsor, sponsor’s 
designees, by IRB or by regulatory authorities. The quality assurance auditor will have access 
to all medical records, the Investigator’s trial-related files and correspondence, and the 
informed consent documentation of this clinical trial.
RECORDS
8.3
Case report forms for individual patients will be provided by the sponsor. See Section 4.1.5.2
for rules about emergency code breaks. For drug accountability, refer to Section 4.1.8.
8.3.1
Source documents
In accordance with regulatory requirements the Investigator should prepare and maintain 
adequate and accurate source documents and trial records that include all observations and 
other data pertinent to the investigation on each trial patient. Source data as well as reported 
data should follow good documentation practices and be attributable, legible, 
contemporaneous, original and accurate. Changes to the data should be traceable (audit trail).
Data reported on the CRF must be consistent with the source data or the discrepancies must 
be explained.
The current medical history of the subject may not be sufficient to confirm eligibility for the 
trial and the Investigator may need to request previous medical histories and evidence of any 
diagnostic tests. In this case the Investigator must make three documented attempts to retrieve 
previous medical records. If this fails a verbal history from the patient, documented in their 
medical records, would be acceptable.
Before providing any copy of patients’ source documents to the sponsor the investigator must 
ensure that all patient identifiers (e.g., patient’s name, initials, address, phone number) have 
properly been removed or redacted to ensure patient confidentiality.
If the patient is not compliant with the protocol, any corrective action e.g., re-training must be 
documented in the patient file.
For the eCRF, data must be derived from source documents, for example:
∀
Patient identification: gender, date or year of birth

∀
Patient participation in the trial (substance, trial number, patient number, date patient was 
informed)
∀
Dates of Patient’s visits, including dispensing of trial medication
∀
Medical history (including trial indication and concomitant diseases, if applicable)

Adverse events (onset date (mandatory), and end date (if available))
∀
Serious adverse events (onset date (mandatory), and end date (if available))
∀
Concomitant therapy (start date, changes)
∀
Originals or copies of laboratory results and other imaging or testing results, with proper 
documented medical evaluation (in validated electronic format, if available)
∀
Completion of Patient’s Participation in the trial (end date; in case of premature 
discontinuation document the reason for it).
∀
Prior to allocation of a patient to a treatment into a clinical trial, there must be 
documented evidence in the source data (e.g., medical records) that the trial participant 
meets all inclusion criteria and does not meet any exclusion criteria. The absence of 
records (either medical records, verbal documented feedback of the patient or testing 
conducted specific for a protocol) to support inclusion/exclusion criteria does not make 
the patient eligible for the clinical trial.
8.3.2
Direct access to source data and documents
The sponsor will monitor the conduct of the trial by regular on-site monitoring visits and in-
house data quality review. The frequency of on-site monitoring will be determined by 
assessing all characteristics of the trial, including its nature, objective, methodology and the 
degree of any deviations of the intervention from normal clinical practice.
The Investigator/institution will allow on-site trial-related monitoring, audits, IRB review and 
regulatory inspections. Direct access must be provided to the eCRF and all source 
documents/data, including progress notes, copies of laboratory and medical test results, which 
must be available at all times for review by the CRA, auditor and regulatory inspector 
(e.g., PMDA). The CRA and auditor may review all eCRFs and informed consents. The 
accuracy of the data will be verified by direct comparison with the source documents 
described in Section 8.3.1. The sponsor will also monitor compliance with the protocol, ICH 
GCP, and Japanese GCP.
8.3.3
Storage period of records
Trial sites:
The trial sites must retain the source and essential documents (including ISF) according to the 
national or Japanese requirements (whatever is longer) valid at the time of the end of the trial.
Sponsor:
The sponsor must retain the essential documents according to the sponsor’s SOPs.

The PASI score is an established measure of clinical efficacy for psoriasis medications (R96-
3541).
The PASI is a tool which provides a numeric scoring for patients overall psoriasis disease 
state, ranging from 0 to 72. It is a linear combination of percent of surface area of skin that is 
affected and the severity of erythema, infiltration, and desquamation over four body regions. 
The endpoints used are based on the percent reduction from baseline, generally summarised 
as a dichotomous outcome based on achieving over an X% reduction (or PASI X), where X is 
50, 75, 90 and 100.
To calculate the PASI score, the four main body areas are assessed: head (h), trunk (t), 
upper extremities (u) and lower extremities (l). These correspond to 10, 30, 20 and 40% of 
the total body area respectively.
The area of psoriatic involvement of these four areas (Ah, At, Au, and Al) is given a 
numerical value: 0 = no involvement, 1 = <10%, 2 = 10 to <30%, 3 = 30 to <50%, 4 = 50 to 
<70%, 5 = 70 to <90%, and 6 = 90 to 100% involvement.
The signs of severity, erythema (E), infiltration (I) and desquamation (D) of lesions are 
assessed using a numeric scale 0-4 where 0 is a complete lack of cutaneous involvement and 
4 is the severest possible involvement; scores are made independently for each of the areas, h, 
t, u and l and represents a composite score for each area. An illustration of judging erythema 
follows: 0 = no erythema, 1 = slight erythema, 2 = moderate erythema, 3 = striking erythema, 
and 4 = exceptionally striking erythema.
The PASI score is calculated according to the following formula:
PASI = 0.1(Eh+Ih+Dh)Ah + 0.3(Et+It+Dt)At + 0.2(Eu+Iu+Du)Au + 0.4(El+Il+Dl)Al
STATIC PHYSICIAN GLOBAL ASSESSMENT (SPGA)
10.2
This sPGA is a 5 point score ranging from 0 to 4, based on the physician’s assessment of the 
average thickness, erythema, and scaling of all psoriatic lesions (Table 10.2: 1) (R15-5200). 
The assessment is considered “static” which refers to the patients disease state at the time of 
the assessments, without comparison to any of the patient’s previous disease states, whether 
at Baseline or at a previous visit.
A lower score indicates less body coverage, with 0 being clear and 1 being almost clear. 
The investigator (or qualified site personnel) scores the erythema, induration and scaling of 
all psoriatic lesions from 0 - 4 based on the following descriptors:
Erythema 
0
Normal (post-inflammatory hyper/hypopigmentation may be present)
1
Faint, diffuse pink or slight red coloration 
2
Mild (light red coloration)

Scoring 
A composite score is generated from the above data and the final sPGA is determined from 
this composite score as follows:
Clear 
0 = 0 for all three 
Almost clear 1 = mean >0, <1.5
Mild
2 = mean >=1.5, <2.5
Moderate 
3 = mean >=2.5, <3.5

10.3.1
psoriatic arthritis diagnosis at Screening
At Visit 1 at selected study site, patients with a positive history of PsA or suspected to have 
PsA will be further evaluated for PsA diagnosis based on CASPAR criteria (R15-1001). To 
be classified has having PsA, a patient must have inflammatory articular disease (joint, spine, 
or entheseal) with at least 3 points total from the 5 categories in Table 10.3.1: 1. All trial 
participants will have 2 points assigned due to evidence of current psoriasis per trial entry 
criteria and require at least one additional point for diagnosis of PsA.

* Hip will only be assessed for TJC (tender joint counts), not for SJC (swollen joint count).
Joint counts will be performed by assessor(s) who must be well trained and part of the site 
personnel. Whenever possible, the same evaluator should perform these assessments at all 
visits.
Number of tender joints:
The 68 joints assessed for tenderness include the 2 temporomandibular, 2 sternoclavicular, 2 
acromioclavicular joints, 2 shoulders, 2 elbows, 2 wrists, 10 metacarpophalangeal, 10 
proximal interphalangeal, 8 distal interphalangeal joints of the hands, the 2 hips, 2 knees, 2 
ankles2 mid-tarsal, 10 metatarsophalangeal, and 10 proximal interphalangeal joints of the 
feet. 
Joints are be scored as either tender (1) or not tender (0)
Number of swollen joints:
The 66 joints to be examined for swelling are the same as those examined for tenderness, 
however excluding both hip joints.
Joints are to be scored as either swollen (1) or not swollen (0).
Synovial fluid and/or soft tissue swelling but not bony overgrowth represents a positive result 
for swollen joint count. Dactylitis of a digit in the hand or the foot counts as one tender and 
swollen joint.
Data will be recorded for tender and swollen joints (right or left side), i.e., a box (no, yes or 
not applicable) needs to be ticked for all joints.

ACR Response Criteria
ACR 20 (R96-2379):
•
At least 20% improvement in SJC* compared to baseline AND
•
At least 20% improvement in TJC* compared to baseline AND
•
At least 20% improvement in at least 3 out of the following 5 variables 
1. Patient’s assessment of pain on VAS 
2. Patient’s global assessment of the disease on VAS
3. Physician’s global assessment of the disease on VAS
4. Patient’s assessment of disability on HAQ
5. Acute phase reactants (serum CRP)
* SJC and TJC are evaluated according to the complete joint count (see Appendix 10.3.2).
Physician’s global assessment of disease activity
The physician’s global assessment of disease activity will be performed using 100 mm VAS 
ranging from no disease activity to maximal disease activity, after the question "Considering 
all the ways the Subjects psoriatic arthritis affects them, how would you rate the way they felt 
over the past week? Place a vertical mark ( | ) on the line to indicate how they felt”. To 
enhance objectivity, the physician must not be aware of the specific patient’s global 
assessment of disease activity, when performing his own assessment on that subject.
PATIENT REPORTED OUTCOMES
10.4
10.4.1
Psoriasis Symptom Scale (PSS)
The PSS will be self-administered by the patient at visits indicated in the Flow Chart.
The PSS is a four-item patient reported outcome (PRO) instrument that assesses the severity 
of psoriasis symptoms in patients with moderate to severe psoriasis. The symptoms included 
are: pain, redness, itching and burning from psoriasis. Current symptom severity is assessed 
as a daily diary, using a 5-point Likert-type scale ranging from 0 (none) to 4 (very severe). 
The PSS was developed based on published evidence supporting the development of two 
similar, proprietary patient-reported outcome instruments: the Psoriasis Symptom Inventory 
and the Psoriasis Symptom Diary. These measures were developed in accordance with FDA 
PRO Guidance and have published evidence of reliability, validity, and ability to detect 
change (R14-3562, R14-3559, R15-1219, R15-1410, R15-1411).
Psoriasis Symptom Scale
Listed below are a set of problems that people with psoriasis have said are important. For 
each question, click on the circle that best describes the severity of your symptoms during the 
past 24 hours. Please answer every question.

Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI)
The DLQI will be self-administered by the patient at visits indicated in the Flow Chart.
The DLQI is a patient-administered, ten-question, quality of life questionnaire that covers six 
domains including symptoms and feelings, daily activities, leisure, work and school, personal 
relationships and treatment (R05-2548). The DLQI has a one-week recall period. Item scores 
range from 0 (not relevant) and 1 (not at all) to 3 (very much). Question 7 is a “yes”/“no” 
question where “yes” is scored as 3.
DLQI total score is calculated by summing the scores of each question resulting in a range of 
0 to 30 where 0-1 = no effect on patient’s life, 2-5 = small effect, 6-10 = moderate effect, 11-
20 = very large effect, and 21-30 = extremely large effect on patient’s life. The higher the 
score, the more the quality of life is impaired. A 5-point change from baseline is considered a 
clinically important difference.
The DLQI has been extensively used in clinical trials and has a large evidence base 
supporting reliability and validity (R15-3845).

Health Assessment Questionnaire Disability Index (HAQ-DI)
The HAQ-DI will be self-administered by the patient at visits indicated in the Flow Chart.
The HAQ-DI is a twenty-item patient reported outcome instrument that assesses current 
physical function/disability. The HAQ-DI covers eight categories (dressing and grooming, 
hygiene, arising, reach, eating, grip, walking and common daily activities). There are four 
response options, ranging from 0 (no difficulty) to 3 (unable to do). HAQ-DI score is 
reported as a mean score between 0 and 3 by dividing the total score by the number of items 
answered (R15-3849).
The HAQ-DI has been the most-widely used instrument to assess physical function clinical 
trials of treatments for rheumatoid and psoriatic arthritis and has extensive evidence of its 
validity and other psychometric properties in this context (R15-3846). 
The HAQ-DI will be self-administered by the patient at visits indicated in the Flow Chart.
