Synopsis
AbbVie Inc.
Protocol Number:  M14-033
Name of Study Drug:  Adalimumab
Phase of Development:  3
Name of Active Ingredient:  Adalimumab
Date of Protocol Synopsis:  16 June 2016
Protocol Title:  A Double-Blind, Randomized, Multicenter Study of Higher Versus Standard 
Adalimumab Dosing Regimens for Induction and Maintenance Therapy in Subjects with Moderately to 
Severely Active Ulcerative Colitis
Objective:  The objective is to evaluate safety and efficacy of higher induction and maintenance dosing 
regimens in subjects with moderately to severely active Ulcerative Colitis (UC).  
Investigators:  Multicenter Trial (Investigator information on file at AbbVie).
Study Sites:  Approximately 125 sites for the main study and approximately 21 sites for the Japan 
sub-study.
Study Population:  Male and female subjects ≥ 18 and ≤ 75 years of age with a diagnosis of moderately 
to severely active UC (up to 25% infliximab-experienced).
Number of Subjects to be Enrolled:  For the main Induction Study, approximately 840 subjects 
(504 subjects in the higher induction dose regimen and 336 subjects in the standard induction dose 
regimen) will be enrolled at approximately 125 sites worldwide.  All subjects who complete the 
Induction Study (regardless of achievement of response at Week 8) will continue into the Maintenance 
Study.  An additional 100 Japanese subjects (60 in the higher induction dose regimen and 40 in the 
standard induction dose regimen) in a Japan sub-study will be enrolled at 21 Japan sites.  In both the 
main study and Japan sub study, up to 25% of subjects with previous infliximab exposure may be 
enrolled.
Methodology:
This Phase 3 study design includes the Screening Period followed by an 8-Week double blind Induction 
Study and a 44-Week double blind Maintenance Study.   
The Induction Study:  will evaluate the efficacy and safety of a higher induction dosing regimen of 
adalimumab versus standard induction dosing in inducing clinical remission at Week 8 in subjects with 
moderately to severely active UC.  
The Maintenance Study:  will evaluate the safety and efficacy of 44 weeks of three maintenance dosing 
regimens of adalimumab in achieving clinical remission at Week 52 (from the Induction Study Baseline) 
in subjects with moderately to severely active UC who achieved clinical response at Week 8 of the 
Induction Study.

Methodology (Continued):
During both the Induction Study and the Maintenance Study, visit week designations will represent 
weeks since first dose in the Induction Study.  Week 0 (Baseline) will reflect the date of 
first adalimumab dosing in the Induction Study.  Week 8 will represent the final assessment in the 
Induction Study.  Week 52 will represent the final assessment in the Maintenance Study (representing 
44 weeks of maintenance treatment in the Maintenance Study).  Subjects will have moderately to 
severely active UC as defined by a Mayo Score of 6 to 12 points with an endoscopy subscore of 2 or 3, 
confirmed by a central reader.  For all Mayo Score evaluations throughout the entire study, the stool 
frequency and the rectal bleeding subscores will be calculated based on entries recorded into the 
subject's diary.
Subjects who meet all of the inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria will be enrolled into the 
Induction Study.  During the Induction Study, subjects will be randomized at Baseline to one of 
2 double-blinded adalimumab induction regimens (higher dose or standard dose) in a 3:2 ratio, as shown 
in the following figure.  Use of the 3:2 randomization scheme allows for collection of additional safety 
data with the higher induction dose regimen.  The randomization will be stratified by previous infliximab 
use and Baseline corticosteroid use.
8-Week Double-Blind Induction Study
The higher induction dose regimen of 160 mg at Weeks 0, 1, 2, and 3, followed by 40 mg at Weeks 4 
and 6 leads to a total adalimumab dose over 8 weeks that is approximately twice that of the standard 
induction dose regimen (720 mg versus 320 mg).  The higher induction dose regimen was designed for 
rapid attainment of higher adalimumab serum concentrations in order to rapidly control inflammation.  
Pre dosing serum samples for infliximab concentration and human antichimeric antibodies (HACAs) 
will be collected at Week 0.  Pre-dosing serum samples for adalimumab drug levels will be collected at 
Weeks 0, 2, 4, and 8.  Pre-dosing serum samples for anti-adalimumab antibodies will be collected at 
Weeks 0, 4, and 8.

Methodology (Continued):
At Week 4, all subjects who are taking oral corticosteroids from Baseline will have their corticosteroid 
therapy tapered according to the proposed tapering schedule specified in the protocol.  If the Investigator 
feels that the steroid taper is not advisable for a particular subject at Week 4, the Study Designated 
Physician (SDP) should be consulted for evaluation and approval.
At the conclusion of the 8-Week Induction Study, all subjects will be re-randomized into the 44-week 
Maintenance Study.  Re-randomization into the Maintenance Study will be stratified by induction 
treatment regimen in the Induction Study and response status (per Full Mayo Score) at Week 8.  Among 
the responders at Week 8, the re-randomization will be further stratified by remission status (per Full 
Mayo score) at Week 8.  All subjects in the main study who complete the Induction Study) will be re-
randomized into one of three blinded treatment groups in a 2:2:1 ratio:

Adalimumab 40 mg every other week (eow)

Adalimumab 40 mg every week (ew)

Adalimumab Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (TDM) regimen (exploratory)*
*
1) All subjects in the TDM dosing regimen will receive 40 mg eow at Week 8 and Week 10. At 
Weeks 12, 24, and 37, the regimen will be adjusted for subjects meeting the dose adjustment 
criteria (see table below) based on blinded serum concentrations at the prior visit (Weeks 10, 22 and 
35, respectively) and rectal bleeding subscore at the prior and current visits as follows:

Subjects receiving 40 mg eow who meet the dose adjustment criteria will escalate to 40 mg 
weekly.

Subjects receiving 40 mg ew who meet the dose adjustment criteria will receive a one-time dose 
of 160 mg at the visit, and resume 40 mg ew starting the following week.
2) Japan sub-study does not have TDM dosing regimen.  Subjects will be re-randomized into 
Adalimumab 40 mg eow treatment group or Adalimumab 40 mg ew treatment group in a 1:1 ratio.
Pre-dosing serum samples for adalimumab drug levels will be collected in all subjects at Weeks 10, 12, 
16, 22, 24, 29, 35, 37, 42, 48, 52/Premature Discontinuation (PD), and unscheduled visits.  Pre-dosing 
serum samples for anti-adalimumab antibodies will be collected at Weeks 12, 24, 37, 52/PD, and 
unscheduled visits.
The goal of the TDM dosing regimen is to attain serum adalimumab levels within a targeted 
concentration range (selected based on exposure-response analyses from Study M06-827) while 
avoiding excessively high concentrations.  During maintenance therapy in Study M06-827, 
concentrations ranged from 0 to 39.3 µg/mL with eow dosing and 0 to 38.0 µg/mL with ew dosing.  The 
lower bound (10 µg/mL) of the targeted concentration range for the TDM dosing regimen is similar to 
the median concentrations observed over time for the subjects in remission at Week 52 of 
Study M06-827 (11.4, 10.6, and 10.8 µg/mL, for Weeks 8, 32, and 52, respectively).  Use of this 
concentration as the minimum threshold to trigger dose escalation will lead to the majority of subjects 
achieving concentrations greater than 10 µg/mL.  Since serum adalimumab concentrations roughly 
double with a doubling of dose, an upper bound of 20 µg/mL is expected to achieve maximal trough 
concentrations in the range of the highest trough concentrations observed in Study M06-827.  It is 
expected that approximately 60% of subjects in the TDM dosing regimen will escalate to ew dosing and 
15% or fewer will receive reinduction using this concentration range plus the Rectal Bleeding Subscore 
(RBS) criteria outlined in the table below as a guide to adjust adalimumab dosing.

For subjects on 40 mg eow, escalate to 40 mg ew.  Subjects on 40 mg ew will receive "reinduction" with a dose 
of 160 mg at the visit and resume 40 mg ew 1 week later.
Note:
There will be no allowance for dose adjustment in the adalimumab eow or ew dosing regimens.
  
Study visits for clinical and safety assessments will be performed at Baseline (Week 0), Weeks 1, 2, 4, 8, 
10, 12, 16, 22, 24, 29, 35, 37, 42, 48, and 52/PD.  All subjects will be provided with a Subject Diary 
where they will record ulcerative colitis-related symptoms (daily stool frequency, abdominal discomfort, 
number of bloody stools, fecal urgency, and general well-being), use of anti-diarrheals, use of 
medications for endoscopy preparation, and study drug dosing information throughout the study.  Blood 
samples will be collected for hs-CRP, adalimumab serum concentrations, anti-adalimumab antibody 
(AAA) levels, and other biomarker analyses.  In addition, stool samples for calprotectin and microbiota 
metagenomic analyses will be collected.  The stool samples should be taken before starting bowel 
preparations for endoscopy.  Subjects will undergo an endoscopy (colonoscopy or flexible 
sigmoidoscopy) with biopsy for histologic assessment during Screening, at Week 8 and at Week 52/PD 
(for subjects who remain in the study through at least Week 24) with local investigator assessment for 
Mayo endoscopic subscore confirmed by a central reader.  The central reviewer scoring will be used for 
all efficacy assessments.  The endoscopy subscore result from the central reviewer during the screening 
period will be used to evaluate the eligibility of a subject to enroll in the study.
Subjects who consent to participate in the optional pharmacogenetic (PG) analysis should have an 
additional blood sample drawn at Baseline and at Week 52/PD.  If the sample is not collected at 
Baseline, preferably it should be collected at the next study visit.
Subjects will be discontinued if they withdraw consent or if they are deemed unsuitable to continue for 
any reason by the Investigator.  Subjects experiencing an active infection or those for whom the 
investigator feels dose escalation is not advisable should contact the Study Designated Physician.

Methodology (Continued):
Subjects will only be allowed to change the dosage of UC-specific concomitant medications as specified 
below:

At Week 4, all subjects who are taking oral corticosteroids from Baseline will have their 
corticosteroid therapy tapered according to the proposed tapering schedule specified in the 
Protocol.  If the Investigator feels that the steroid taper is not advisable for a particular subject 
at Week 4, the SDP should be consulted for evaluation and approval.

Subjects taking corticosteroids at Baseline who have a loss of satisfactory clinical response per 
the Investigator's judgment after the steroid taper has been initiated may have their 
corticosteroid dose increased per the Investigator's discretion during the study.  Subjects in 
whom the maximum equivalent steroid dose exceeds the dose used at Baseline will be censored 
for efficacy assessments (i.e., they will be considered non-responders for categorical endpoints 
and will have Baseline values carried forward for non-categorical assessments) from that point 
forward.  These subjects will continue to be evaluated in the safety population.
Subjects in whom UC-related medications (defined as oral or rectal aminosalicylates, systemic or rectal 
corticosteroids, or systemic medications affecting the immune system, including thiopurines, MTX, and 
agents listed in the study exclusion criteria) that were not being taken at Baseline and are initiated during 
the study or who have dosages of these medications increased to greater than the dose taken at Baseline 
will be censored for efficacy assessments (i.e., will be considered non-responders for categorical 
endpoints and will have Baseline values carried forward for non-categorical assessments) from that point 
forward.  These subjects will continue to be evaluated in the safety population.
Immunosuppressant, corticosteroid, and aminosalicylate doses may be decreased or terminated in the 
event of moderate-to-severe treatment-related toxicities.
Diagnosis and Main Criteria for Inclusion/Exclusion:

Statistical Methods:
The following statistical analysis plan is for subjects recruited in the main study.  A separate statistical 
analysis plan will be provided for subjects recruited in the Japan sub-study and for all the subjects 
recruited in the main study and the Japan sub-study (See Appendix K).
Efficacy:
For the Induction Study, a total of 840 subjects will be allocated to the adalimumab higher induction 
dosing regimen and the adalimumab standard induction dosing regimen in a 3:2 ratio (504 and 
336 subjects in each regimen, respectively).  The sample size for the Induction Study is based on the 
expected proportions of subjects who achieve clinical remission at Week 8.  Assuming the clinical 
remission rate of 35% in the adalimumab higher induction dosing regimen and 20% in the adalimumab 
standard induction dosing regimen at Week 8, this sample size will provide > 95% power to detect a 
difference of 15% between the two treatment groups for the primary endpoint of the Induction Study 
using two-sided Fisher's Exact test at a 0.05 significance level.  The efficacy analysis will be based on 
intent-to-treat analysis set.  The intent-to-treat analysis set includes all randomized subjects who receive 
at least one dose of study drug in the Induction Study 1 (ITT1).  The difference between the higher 
induction dosing regimen group versus the standard induction dosing regimen group in the proportion of 
subjects achieving clinical remission at Week 8 will be assessed using Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel (CMH) 
test adjusted for previous infliximab use and Baseline corticosteroid use.  A CMH based two-sided 95% 
confidence interval for the difference between treatment groups will be calculated.  Breslow-Day test for 
homogeneity of odds ratios will be performed as well.  Subjects with missing primary endpoint data at 
Week 8 will be classified as "no clinical remission" (non-responder imputation [NRI] method) for the 
Week 8 endpoint.  Subjects with missing Mayo score data at Week 8 will be classified as Week 8 non-
responders for the Week 52 Maintenance Study analyses.  As sensitivity analyses, logistic regression 
including treatment, the randomization stratification factors and additional clinically important factors 
such as Immunosuppressant use at Baseline, Baseline hs-CRP, and disease severity at Baseline will also 
be performed for the primary endpoint.  
For the Maintenance Study, the sample size is based on the expected proportions of subjects who 
achieve clinical remission at Week 52.  Assuming the average response rate at Week 8 in the Induction 
Study is 50%, a total of 420 Week 8 responders will be re-randomized to adalimumab 40 mg eow, 
adalimumab 40 mg ew, and TDM regimen in a ratio of 2:2:1; i.e., 168 subjects each in the eow and ew 
groups and 84 subjects in the TDM regimen.  Assuming the Week 52 clinical remission rate of 48% in 
the ew group and 30% in the eow group among Week 8 responders, this sample size will provide 90% 
power to detect a treatment difference of 18% between the two groups using two-sided Fisher's Exact 
test at a 0.05 significance level.  The efficacy analysis will be based on intent-to-treat analysis set.  The 
intent-to-treat analysis set includes all re-randomized subjects who receive at least one dose of study 
drug in the Maintenance Study (ITT2).  The difference between the adalimumab eow regimen versus the 
adalimumab ew regimen in the proportion of subjects achieving clinical remission at Week 52 among 
Week 8 responders will be assessed using Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel (CMH) test adjusted for the 
induction treatment regimen dosing and remitter status at Week 8 (per Full Mayo score utilizing the 
Week 8 endoscopy subscore provided by the site).  A CMH based two-sided 95% confidence interval for 
the difference between treatment groups will be calculated.  Breslow-Day test for homogeneity of odds 
ratios will be performed as well.  Subjects with missing primary endpoint data at Week 52 will be 
classified as "no clinical remission" (non-responder imputation [NRI] method) for the Week 52 
endpoint.

Statistical Methods (Continued):
Efficacy (Continued): 
As sensitivity analyses, logistic regression including treatment, the randomization stratification factors 
and additional clinically important factors such as Immunosuppressant use at Baseline, Baseline hs-CRP, 
and disease severity at Baseline will also be performed for the primary endpoint.
The secondary efficacy variables of the Induction Study and the Maintenance Study are divided into 
two groups.  The first group includes ranked secondary endpoints, which are ranked by clinical 
importance.  Statistical significance is assessed at an alpha level of 0.050 (two-sided) in ranked endpoint 
order until the significant level exceeds 0.05.  No additional statistically significant treatment differences 
could be declared if the preceding ranked endpoint fails to achieve 0.05.  The second group includes all 
other additional secondary variables.  For the Induction Study Week 8 endpoints, the difference between 
the higher adalimumab induction dosing regimen versus the standard adalimumab induction dosing 
regimen will be assessed using ITT1 analysis set.  For the Maintenance Study Week 52 endpoints, the 
difference between the eow group versus the ew group will be assessed using ITT2 analysis set.  
Categorical data will be described by frequency and percentage; continuous data will be described by 
mean, standard deviation, minimum, median, and maximum.  In general, the secondary endpoints at 
Week 8 for the Induction Study that are of the binary type will be analyzed using a two-sided CMH test 
adjusted for previous infliximab use and Baseline corticosteroid use using the ITT1 analysis set, and the 
secondary endpoints at Week 52 for the Maintenance Study that are of the binary type will be analyzed 
using a two-sided CMH test adjusted for induction treatment regimen and remitter status (per Full Mayo 
score) at Week 8 (where applicable) using the ITT2 analysis set.  Additionally, the two-sided 95% 
confidence interval for the difference in proportions will be provided.  Continuous secondary efficacy 
variables will be analyzed using Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) with factor for treatment group, 
stratification variables and Baseline values.  NRI for missing data will be used for categorical endpoints.  
Procedures for handling missing data for continuous endpoints will be described in the Statistical 
Analysis Plan.
Pharmacokinetic:
Adalimumab trough serum concentrations will be summarized by treatment group at each time point 
using descriptive statistics.  In addition, pharmacokinetic model-based analyses will be performed with 
the focus on apparent clearance (CL/F) and apparent volume of distribution (V/F) of adalimumab.
Immunogenicity:
AAA will be evaluated for each subject and each regimen, and rates of AAA positivity will be 
calculated.  As appropriate, the effect of AAA on adalimumab pharmacokinetics, efficacy variable(s), 
and treatment emergent adverse events may be evaluated.
Safety:
Adverse events (AEs), laboratory data and vital signs are the primary safety parameters in this study.  
All safety comparisons will be performed for both Induction and Maintenance Studies using the safety 
analysis set, which includes all subjects who receive at least one dose of study medication in each Study, 
respectively.  Treatment-emergent adverse events will be tabulated by system organ class and by 
MedDRA preferred term by treatment group for the Induction Study and the Maintenance Study, and for 
any adalimumab over the entire study.  Mean changes in vital signs, physical examination results, ECGs, 
and clinical laboratory values will be analyzed.

Introduction
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is one of the two primary forms of idiopathic inflammatory bowel 
disease.  It is postulated that UC is caused by unregulated and exaggerated local immune 
response to environmental triggers in genetically susceptible individuals.1  UC is a chronic, 
relapsing inflammatory disease of the large intestine characterized by inflammation and 
ulceration of the mucosal and submucosal intestinal layers.  The incidence in North 
America is estimated at 2.2 to 14.3 cases per 100,000 person-years with a prevalence of 
37 to 246 cases per 100,000 persons.2  The burden of UC on the healthcare system is 
profound, accounting for nearly 500,000 physician visits and more than 
46,000 hospitalizations per year in the United States (US) alone.3
The hallmark clinical symptoms include bloody diarrhea associated with rectal urgency 
and tenesmus.  The clinical course is marked by exacerbation and remission.  The 
diagnosis of UC is suspected on clinical grounds and supported by diagnostic testing, and 
elimination of infectious causes.4
The most severe intestinal manifestations of UC are toxic megacolon and perforation.  
Extraintestinal complications include arthritis (sacroiliitis and ankylosing spondylitis), 
dermatological conditions (erythema nodosum, aphthous stomatitis, and pyoderma 
gangrenosum), inflammation of the eye (uveitis), and liver dysfunction (primary 
sclerosing cholangitis).  Patients with UC are at an increased risk for colon cancer, and the 
risk increases with the duration of disease as well as extent of colon affected by the 
disease.5
The aim of medical treatment in UC is to control inflammation and reduce symptoms.  
Available pharmaceutical therapies are limited, do not always completely abate the 
inflammatory process, and have significant adverse effects.  Therapies for mildly to 
moderately active UC include 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) derivatives and 
immunosuppressants.  Corticosteroids are used in patients with more severe symptoms but 
are not useful for longer term therapy.6  The frequency and severity of corticosteroid 
toxicities are significant, including infections, emotional and psychiatric disturbances, 

Adalimumab
M14-033 Protocol Amendment 3
EudraCT 2013-001682-16
35
skin injury, and metabolic bone disease.  Corticosteroids are not effective for the 
maintenance of remission and the UC practice guidelines from the American College of 
Gastroenterology recommend against chronic steroid treatment.7
Patients with moderate to severe symptoms may derive some benefits from 
immunomodulatory agents (azathioprine [AZA], 6-mercaptopurine [6-MP] or 
methotrexate [MTX]); however, the use of these agents is limited by slow onset of action 
(3 to 6 months) and adverse events (AEs), including bone marrow suppression, infections, 
hepatotoxicity, pancreatitis, and malignancies.7,8  Removal of the colon/rectum can 
eliminate the source of the inflammatory process but may be accompanied by significant 
morbidity.
The safety and efficacy of adalimumab for the induction and maintenance of clinical 
remission in adult subjects with moderately to severely active UC has been studied in 
two completed clinical trials (Study M06-826 and Study M06-827) and an ongoing 
open-label study (Study M10-223).9-11  In addition, adalimumab was associated with 
statistically significant and clinically relevant results in multiple other endpoints, 
including response, endoscopic improvement, and improvements in Inflammatory Bowel 
Disease Questionnaire (IBDQ) scores compared to placebo for up to 52 weeks in these 
subjects.11
The purpose of this study is to evaluate a higher induction and maintenance regimen, 
including an exploratory dosing regimen evaluating a therapeutic drug monitoring 
strategy, than the standard approved adalimumab induction regimen (160 mg at Week 0 
and 80 mg at Week 2, followed by 40 mg every other week [eow] beginning at Week 4) 
for induction and maintenance therapy in adult patients with moderately to severely active 
ulcerative colitis.  This study is designed to fulfill the following two post-marketing 
requirements (PMR) that were part of the US approval of adalimumab in adult patients 
with UC:

Adalimumab
M14-033 Protocol Amendment 3
EudraCT 2013-001682-16
36
●
PMR 5:  Conduct a trial in moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis 
patients to evaluate the safety of induction regimens of adalimumab at doses 
higher than 160/80 mg.  In this trial, the efficacy of Humira (adalimumab) 
should also be assessed, both during induction treatment as well as during 
continued treatment after induction, and pharmacokinetic measurements 
should be conducted for exposure-response analysis.  In this trial, collecting 
samples for immunogenicity testing (utilizing a validated anti-adalimumab 
antibody assay as described in PMR 3 above) and conducting analyses of the 
impact of immunogenicity on safety, pharmacokinetics, and efficacy is 
important.  The protocol should be agreed upon by the agency prior to the 
initiation of the trial.
●
PMR 6:  A safety and pharmacokinetic trial as a sub-study of the trial 
described in PMR 5 above to evaluate trough concentrations of adalimumab 
and antibody levels (utilizing a validated anti-adalimumab antibody assay as 
described in PMR 3 above) at the time of loss of clinical remission in patients 
whose physicians plan to escalate the dose (e.g., decrease the dosing interval 
to weekly or increase the dosage) in response to loss of remission.  Trough 
concentrations will be evaluated to determine whether patients who have low 
adalimumab exposures benefit from dose escalation without increasing risk of 
serious adverse events.  The protocol should be agreed upon by the agency 
prior to initiation of the trial.
This study is constructed of a main study and a Japan sub-study.  Both the main study and 
Japan sub-study include an Induction Study and a Maintenance Study.  The protocol 
indicates the method for the main study and is to be followed for the Japan sub-study 
except as indicated in Appendix K.
3.1
Differences Statement
The differences between Study M14-033 and the other UC studies (Study M06-826 and 
Study M06-827), are the inclusion of a higher induction dose, a higher maintenance dose 
(weekly dosing) and an adjustable dosing regimen based on therapeutic drug monitoring 
during the Maintenance Study, which will allow for a greater range of exposure and 
ultimately provide greater precision around adalimumab dosing/exposure and 

Adalimumab
M14-033 Protocol Amendment 3
EudraCT 2013-001682-16
37
efficacy/safety relationships in subjects with moderately to severely active ulcerative 
colitis.  The pharmacokinetic profile of adalimumab during Induction and Maintenance 
Studies and its relationship to efficacy in adult subjects with moderately to severely active 
ulcerative colitis will be characterized.
In addition, the methodology differs from the registration trials in that the endoscopy was 
not read centrally in the registration trials, and Study M06-827 included 40% of subjects 
previously treated with an anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) agent compared to a 
maximum of 25% in the present trial.
3.2
Benefits and Risks
Extensive clinical and postmarketing experience exists with adalimumab in a wide range 
of disease states, including Crohn's disease and UC.  The safety profile of adalimumab in 
those indications is well-established with more than 50,000 patient-years of adalimumab 
clinical trial experience.  The clinical studies in adult UC have not altered this safety 
profile and demonstrated a positive benefit/risk balance.  Conditions which may present a 
risk specifically for patients with UC are exclusion criteria in this study (e.g., evidence of 
current colonic dysplasia or active infections).
3.3
Adalimumab Overview
Adalimumab is a recombinant human immunoglobulin (IgG1) monoclonal antibody 
containing only human peptide sequences.  Adalimumab is produced by recombinant 
deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) technology in a mammalian cell expression system.  It 
consists of 1330 amino acids and has a molecular weight of approximately 
148 kilodaltons.  Adalimumab is composed of fully human heavy and light chain variable 
regions, which confer specificity to human TNF, and human IgG1 heavy chain and kappa 
light chain sequences.  Adalimumab binds with high affinity and specificity to soluble 
TNF-α but not to lymphotoxin-α (TNF-β).
TNF is a naturally occurring cytokine that is involved in normal inflammatory and 
immune responses.  Elevated levels of TNF play an important role in pathologic 

Adalimumab
M14-033 Protocol Amendment 3
EudraCT 2013-001682-16
38
inflammation.  Adalimumab binds specifically to TNF and neutralizes the biological 
function of TNF by blocking its interaction with the p55 and p75 cell surface TNF 
receptors.  Adalimumab also modulates biological responses that are induced or regulated 
by TNF.  After treatment with adalimumab, levels of acute phase reactants of 
inflammation (C-reactive protein [CRP] and erythrocyte sedimentation rate) and serum 
cytokines rapidly decrease.
Adalimumab was first approved in US and EU for the treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis 
in 2002 and 2003, respectively, and subsequently by the Pharmaceuticals and Medical 
Devices Agency in Japan in 2008.  Additional indications have been approved in the US 
and EU including psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, axial spondylitis, Crohn's Disease, 
ulcerative colitis, polyarticular Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis, pediatric Crohn's disease, 
pediatric psoriasis as well as pediatric Enthesitis Related Arthritis and non-radiographic 
axial spondyloarthritis in the EU, and intestinal Beçhet's disease in Japan.  Additional 
updates regarding approved indications can be found in the current edition of the Humira 
Investigational Drug Brochure.
3.4
Safety Information
Adalimumab therapy has a well-established and well-described safety profile based on 
extensive postmarketing experience and continued clinical trial subject exposure since the 
first approved indication in 2002 for rheumatoid arthritis.  A detailed discussion of the 
pre-clinical toxicology, metabolism, pharmacology and safety experience with 
adalimumab can be found in the current Investigator's Brochure.  AbbVie is committed to 
continue to collect safety information including those events that may occur in this trial in 
order to confirm this established safety profile and to identify any unknown potential 
adverse reactions, rare events and those events with a long latency.  AbbVie is 
participating in a Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-requested, TNF inhibitor 
class-wide exploration of the rare appearance of malignancy in subjects who are 30 years 
old or younger at the time of diagnosis.  The risk of malignancy in this age group has not 
been established and is difficult to study due to its rarity.  AbbVie appreciates your

attention to the additional reporting requirements needed in this unlikely event, outlined in 
Section 6.1.5 under Adverse Event Reporting.

Overall Study Design and Plan:  Description
This is a Phase 3, double-blind, randomized, multicenter study of higher versus standard 
adalimumab dosing regimens for induction and maintenance therapy in subjects with 
moderately to severely active UC (Mayo Score of 6 to 12 points with an endoscopy 
subscore of 2 or 3, confirmed by a central reader).  For all Mayo Score evaluations 
throughout the study, the stool frequency and the rectal bleeding subscore will be 
calculated according to Appendix C.
The study was designed to enroll 840 subjects in the main study (504 subjects in the 
higher induction dose regimen and 336 subjects in the standard induction dose regimen) at 
approximately 125 sites worldwide to meet scientific and regulatory objectives without 
enrolling an undue number of subjects in alignment with ethical considerations.  There 
also will be 100 Japanese subjects (60 subjects in the higher induction dose regimen and 
40 subjects in the standard induction dose regimen) in a Japan sub-study to be enrolled at 
21 Japan sites.  The Japan sub-study will be conducted utilizing the same design as 
outlined in the main study with the exceptions that are outlined in Appendix K.  If the 
target number of subjects has been enrolled, there is a possibility that additional subjects 
in screening will not be enrolled.
This study will include:
●
A 3-Week Screening Period

40
●
An 8-Week Double-Blind Induction Study
●
A 44-Week Double-Blind Maintenance Study
●
A 70-Day Follow-Up Period
During both the Induction Study and the Maintenance Study, visit week designations will 
represent weeks since first dose in the Induction Study.  Week 0 (Baseline) will reflect the 
date of first adalimumab dosing in the Induction Study.  Week 8 will represent the final 
assessment in the Induction Study and the beginning of the Maintenance Study.  Week 52 
will represent the final assessment in the Maintenance Study (representing 44 weeks of 
maintenance treatment in the Maintenance Study).  A subject's participation in the study is 
anticipated to be up to 65 weeks.  There is a ± 3-day window for all study visits.  An 
effort will be made to bring subjects back to their original scheduled visit (calculated from 
Baseline) if they are out of the visit window.
Study visits for clinical and safety assessments will be performed at Baseline (Week 0), 
Weeks 1, 2, 4, 8, 10, 12, 16, 22, 24, 29, 35, 37, 42, 48 and 52/PD.  All subjects will be 
provided with a subject diary at Screening where they will record ulcerative colitis-related 
symptoms (stool frequency, abdominal discomfort, number of bloody stools, fecal 
urgency, and general well-being), use of anti-diarrheals, use of medications for endoscopy 
preparation, and study drug dosing information) throughout the study.  Blood samples will 
be collected for high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), adalimumab serum 
concentrations, anti-adalimumab antibody (AAA) levels, and other biomarker analyses as 
indicated in Table 2.  In addition, stool samples for calprotectin, and microbiota 
metagenomic analyses will be collected.  The stool samples should be taken before 
starting bowel preparations for endoscopy. Subjects will undergo an endoscopy 
(colonoscopy or flexible sigmoidoscopy) with biopsy for histologic assessment during 
Screening, at Week 8 and Week 52/PD (for subjects who remain in the study through at 
least Week 24), with local investigator assessment for Mayo endoscopic subscore 
confirmed by a central reader.  Subjects who consent to participate in the optional 
pharmacogenetic (PG) analysis should have an additional blood sample drawn at Baseline 

Adalimumab
M14-033 Protocol Amendment 3
EudraCT 2013-001682-16
41
and at Week 52/PD.  If the sample is not collected at Baseline, it should be collected at the 
next study visit.
A schematic of the study design is presented in Figure 1.
Figure 1.
Study Schematic
Screening Period
The Screening Period begins at the Screening Visit and continues through to Baseline 
Visit (Week 0).  Screening Assessments will include medical history, physical 
examination, chest x-ray, endoscopy (colonoscopy or flexible sigmoidoscopy), 
electrocardiogram (ECG), diary review and laboratory results including pregnancy testing, 
all of which will be reviewed by the study site to confirm selection criteria are met prior to 
enrolling the subject.
Subjects who meet all eligibility criteria during the Screening Period (refer to 
Section 5.2.1) will enter the 8-Week Double-Blind Induction Study.  The length of time 
between screening and the 8-Week Double-Blind Induction Study Baseline Visit must 
allow time for endoscopy central reading and lab results.  The Screening period

Adalimumab
M14-033 Protocol Amendment 3
EudraCT 2013-001682-16
42
(1 – 3 weeks, ±3 days is granted around all study visits) may be extended as necessary 
after consultation and approval with the AbbVie Study Designated Physician (SDP) for 
subjects who require initiation of prophylactic anti-tuberculosis (TB) therapy, or in case of 
external, not subject-related circumstances (e.g., due to delay of availability of screening 
test results).
Subjects who initially screen fail for the study may be permitted to re-screen following 
re-consent.  There is no minimum period of time a subject must wait to re-screen for the 
study.  The subject must meet all inclusion and none of the exclusion criteria at the time 
of re-screening in order to qualify for the study.  If the subject had a complete initial 
screening evaluation including the assessment of a purified protein derivative (PPD) test 
(or equivalent), or Interferon-Gamma Release Assay (IGRA; QuantiFERON-TB Gold 
In-Tube test or T-SPOT TB test), chest x-ray, and ECG, these tests will not be required to 
be repeated for re-screening provided the conditions noted in Section 5.3.1.1 are met and 
no more than 90 days have passed.  An endoscopy will not be required to be repeated for 
re-screening provided the conditions noted in Section 5.3.1.1 are met and no more than 
30 days have passed between the endoscopy date and the rescreening date.  All other 
screening procedures will be repeated.  As appropriate, sites should contact the AbbVie 
SDP to confirm if subjects may be re-screened.
8-Week Double-Blind Induction Study
Subjects who meet all of the inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria will be 
enrolled into the 8-Week Induction Study.  In both the main study and the Japan sub-study 
populations, up to 25% of subjects with previous infliximab exposure may be enrolled.
Subjects will be randomized via interactive response system (IRT) at Baseline (Week 0) 
to one of 2 double-blinded adalimumab induction regimens (higher dose or standard dose) 
in a 3:2 ratio.  Use of the 3:2 randomization scheme allows for collection of additional 
safety data with the higher induction dose regimen.  The randomization will be stratified 
by:
●
Previous infliximab use

Adalimumab
M14-033 Protocol Amendment 3
EudraCT 2013-001682-16
43
and
●
Baseline corticosteroid use.
The higher induction dose regimen of 160 mg at Weeks 0, 1, 2, and 3, followed by 40 mg 
at Weeks 4 and 6 leads to a total adalimumab dose over 8 weeks that is approximately 
twice that of the standard induction regimen (720 mg versus 320 mg) as shown in 
Figure 2 below.
Figure 2.
8-Week Double-Blind Induction Study
Subjects will return to the study site at scheduled visits and complete study procedures for 
each visit as outlined in Section 5.3.1.1.
At Week 4, all subjects who are on oral corticosteroids from Baseline will have their 
corticosteroid dose tapered according to the proposed tapering schedule outlined in the 
protocol.  If the Investigator feels that the steroid taper is not advisable for a particular 
subject at Week 4, the SDP should be consulted for evaluation and approval.

44-Week Double-Blind Maintenance Study
At the conclusion of the 8-Week Double-Blind Induction Study, subjects will return to the 
study site and will be re-randomized via IRT into the 44-Week Double-Blind 
Maintenance Study to one of three treatment groups in a 2:2:1 ratio:
●
Adalimumab 40 mg eow
●
Adalimumab 40 mg every week (ew)
●
Adalimumab Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (TDM) regimen (exploratory).  See 
Figure 3.  (The Japan sub-study does not have a TDM regimen.  Subjects will 
be randomized into Adalimumab 40 mg eow treatment group or Adalimumab 
40 mg ew treatment group in a 1:1 ratio.)
At Week 8, subjects will be re-stratified by:
●
Treatment regimen in the Induction Study
and
●
Response status (per Full Mayo score utilizing the Week 8 endoscopy subscore 
provided by the site) at Week 8.  Among the responders at Week 8, the re-
randomization will be further stratified by remission status (per Full Mayo 
score utilizing the Week 8 endoscopy subscore provided by the site) 
determined at Week 8.

Drug Monitoring (TDM) Regimen
Subjects in the adalimumab 40 mg eow treatment group will continue to receive 40 mg 
eow until the end of the study.  Subjects in the adalimumab 40 mg ew treatment group 
will start 40 mg ew at Week 8 until the end of the study.
All subjects in the TDM regimen will receive 40 mg eow at Week 8 and Week 10, and 
may have their adalimumab dose adjusted at Weeks 12, 24, and 37 based on criteria 
assessing blinded adalimumab serum concentration at the prior visit (Weeks 10, 22, and 
35, respectively, Table 1) and rectal bleeding subscore (RBS) at the prior and current 
visits as follows:
●
Subjects receiving 40 mg eow and meeting the regimen adjustment criteria will 
escalate to 40 mg weekly.

160 mg at the visit and resume 40 mg ew 1 week later.
Note:
There will be no allowance for dose adjustment in the adalimumab eow or ew dosing groups.
Throughout the study, subjects will only be allowed to change the dosage of UC-specific 
concomitant medications as specified in Section 5.2.3.2.
Subjects will return to the study site at scheduled visits and complete study procedures for 
each visit as outlined in Section 5.3.1.1.  Site staff to ensure all data needed to complete 
Weeks 12, 24 and 37 is available prior to the subject arriving at the site.  Notify the 
Clinical Research Associate (CRA) should any needed reports be missing.  No study drug 
will be administered or injected at the final visit.
70-Day Follow-Up/Premature Discontinuation
Subjects may discontinue adalimumab treatment at any time during study participation 
(Section 5.4).  Subjects who end study participation early will have a premature 
discontinuation (PD) Visit.  All subjects will have a follow-up phone call approximately 
70 days after the last administration of study drug to obtain information on any new or

prior to Baseline, is receiving at the time of Enrollment, and/or receives during the study, 
must be recorded along with the reason for use, date(s) of administration including start 
and end dates, and dosage information including dose, route and frequency on the 
appropriate electronic case report form (eCRF).
UC-specific medications (including but not limited to oral corticosteroids, oral or rectal 
aminosalicylates, and immunosuppressant agents) that the subject has received within 
90 days of Baseline should be recorded on the appropriate page of the eCRF and should

include the dates of administration and dosages.  Antibiotics taken for any reason within 
90 days of Baseline should be recorded on the appropriate page of the eCRF and should 
include the reason for use, dates of administration and dosages.  Subjects who failed to 
respond (within the past 1 year) or were intolerant (within the past 5 years) to treatment 
with oral corticosteroids, or immunosuppressants will have the last dosage, dates of 
administration, maximum dose, and reasons for discontinuation recorded in appropriate 
eCRF.
If subjects have/had ever been treated with azathioprine, 6-MP, or methotrexate, the 
duration of therapy, maximum dose, reason for use and reason(s) for termination of 
treatment will be recorded in appropriated eCRF.  For subjects previously treated with 
infliximab, the infliximab history will be recorded, including the duration of therapy, 
maximum dose, reason for use and reason(s) for termination of treatment.  The AbbVie 
SDP identified in Section 6.1.5 should be contacted if there are any questions regarding 
concomitant or prior therapies.
In addition for subjects age ≤ 30 with a reported malignancy adverse event, prior exposure 
to, or current use of, antineoplastics, or other drugs which have a risk of malignancy as 
stated in their labels and other relevant dosing information to estimate total exposure will 
be collected in the source documents and appropriate eCRF pages.  At the time of the 
reported malignancy adverse event, sites will be asked if any of the prior and concomitant 
medications contributed to the event.  Any medications used prior to the study will be 
captured on the appropriate eCRF.  Information on the reason for use, date(s) of 
administration including start and end dates, highest maintained dose, dosage information 
including dose, route and frequency, and reason for stopping the medication will be 
collected in the source documents and appropriate eCRF pages.
5.2.3.2
Concomitant Therapy
Doses of immunosuppressants (including but not limited to azathioprine, 6-MP, and 
MTX) and aminosalicylates taken at Baseline will be continued.  Doses must remain 
stable from Baseline throughout the duration of the study.  Doses may be decreased or 

Adalimumab
M14-033 Protocol Amendment 3
EudraCT 2013-001682-16
57
terminated in the event of moderate-to-severe treatment-related toxicities (e.g., leukopenia 
or elevated liver enzymes) in the opinion of the investigator.
Doses of oral corticosteroids taken at Baseline (as outlined in inclusion criterion 4 in 
Section 5.2.1) will be continued.  Subjects may not be on both oral budesonide (or oral 
beclomethasone) and oral prednisone (or equivalent) simultaneously.  Subjects may not 
change the corticosteroid dose during the first 4 weeks of the study except in the event of 
treatment-related toxicities considered moderate to severe in the opinion of the 
investigator.  At Week 4, all subjects who are taking oral corticosteroid therapy at 
Baseline will have their corticosteroid therapy tapered according to the proposed tapering 
schedule specified in Section 5.3.1.1.  If the Investigator feels that the steroid taper is not 
advisable for a particular subject at Week 4, the SDP should be consulted for evaluation 
and approval.
●
For steroids other than budesonide, a reduction of 5 mg prednisone (or
equivalent) per day for doses > 10 mg/day of prednisone (or equivalent) every 
week until a 10 mg/day (or equivalent) dose is reached, then a weekly decrease 
by 2.5 mg (or equivalent) per day until discontinuation.
●
For budesonide, a weekly decrease by 3 mg/day of budesonide until
discontinuation.
●
For beclomethasone, discontinue.
Subjects taking corticosteroids at Baseline who have a loss of satisfactory clinical 
response per the Investigator's judgment after the steroid taper has been initiated may 
have their corticosteroid dose increased per the Investigator's discretion during the study.  
Subjects in whom the maximum equivalent steroid dose exceeds the dose used at Baseline 
will be censored for efficacy assessments (i.e., they will be considered non-responders for 
categorical endpoints and will have Baseline values carried forward for non-categorical 
assessments) from that point forward.  These subjects will continue to be evaluated in the 
safety population.

Adalimumab
M14-033 Protocol Amendment 3

58
Subjects in whom the following UC-related medications (oral or rectal aminosalicylates, 
systemic or rectal corticosteroids, thiopurines, and MTX) that were not being taken at 
Baseline and are initiated during the study or who have dosages of these medications 
increased to greater than the dose taken at Baseline will be censored for efficacy 
assessments (i.e., will be considered non-responders for categorical endpoints and will 
have Baseline values carried forward for non-categorical assessments) from that point 
forward.  These subjects will continue to be evaluated in the safety population.
Subjects who enter the study on probiotics may continue this therapy provided doses 
remain stable from Baseline throughout the duration of the study.
Changes in all concomitant medications will be assessed at each study visit from Baseline 
(Week 0) through Week 52/PD Visits.  Any changes will be documented in the source 
documents and captured on the appropriate eCRF page.

d.
Subjects will undergo an endoscopy (colonoscopy or flexible sigmoidoscopy) with biopsy for histologic assessment during Screening, at Week 8 and at Week 52/PD (for 
subjects who remain in the study through at least Week 24).  A full colonoscopy will be performed at Screening unless the subject underwent a full colonoscopy within 
12 months prior to Screening and appropriate documentation is available (to confirm the diagnosis and extent of disease and no current evidence of dysplasia and colon 
cancer).  In this case, the screening endoscopy may be either a full colonoscopy or a flexible sigmoidoscopy.  Appropriate documentation of biopsy results consistent with the 
diagnosis of UC, in the assessment of the Investigator, must be available in order to confirm the subject's eligibility for the study.  If this documentation is not available a 
diagnostic biopsy from the most affected observed area of the colon must be performed during the Screening endoscopy and evaluated by a qualified local pathologist and the 
results reviewed by the Investigator.  Biopsies to rule out current dysplasia and colon cancer may be taken during any study endoscopy per the Investigator's discretion and 
evaluated by the local pathologist.  The Week 8 and Week 52/PD endoscopies may be either full colonoscopies or flexible sigmoidoscopies.  During all endoscopies, 
2 biopsies for histologic evaluation by a central laboratory will be taken from each observed colonic segment (see Section 5.3.1.1 for details about biopsy sampling).
e.
Physical examinations performed at Screening, Week 8 and Week 52/PD Visits are full physical examinations which must include an assessment of extra-intestinal 
manifestations (EIMs).  Physical exams performed at all other visits are symptom-based.
f.
Subjects with negative latent TB test(s) (In cases where a subject received both a PPD test and IGRA, both must be negative) within 90 days of Screening will not require a 
repeat latent TB test, if documentation is available.  PPD skin test is to be read 48 to 72 hours after placement.
g.
Chest x-ray includes posterior-anterior [PA] and lateral views. Subjects with normal chest x-ray within 3 months of Screening will not require a repeat chest x-ray, if 
documentation is available.
h.
Subjects with normal ECG within 90 days of Screening will not require a repeat ECG, if documentation is available.
i.
Laboratory assessments will only need to be repeated at Baseline if the time between Screening and Baseline is greater than 14 days, or if the subject's health status has 
changed to warrant a repeat test.
j.
Dipstick urinalysis will be completed by the sites at all required visits.  A microscopic analysis will be performed by the central laboratory, in the event the dipstick results 
show protein, ketones or blood greater than negative or glucose greater than normal.  Further explanations of these tests are provided in the Laboratory Manual.
k.
A serum pregnancy test will be performed on all women of childbearing potential at Screening.  Urine pregnancy test will be performed at Baseline Visit, and at the Week 
52/PD for all women of child bearing potential.  The frequency can be increased up to every visit as per local regulations.  If any urine pregnancy test is positive, a serum 
pregnancy test will be performed by the central laboratory.
l.
Subjects will be tested for the presence of the Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) at Screening.  A positive result for the Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBs Ag) will be exclusionary.  
Please refer to Section 5.3.1.1 in the Hepatitis B testing section for details on testing requirements.  If required by country regulatory authorities to confirm eligibility, subjects 
will be tested for HIV and documented that the test has been performed.  This testing is to be done at a local laboratory.  A subject will not be eligible for study participation if 
test results indicate a positive HIV infection.  AbbVie will not receive results from the testing and not be made aware of any positive result.

m.
If a sample cannot be obtained during the site visit, the site will give instructions and a stool sample supply kit (supplieswill be provided at the time-points indicated).  The 
stool from which these samples are prepared should be scored using the Bristol stool chart by the site.  All stool samples for metagenomic analysis should be collected before 
any bowel preparation for endoscopy is started and should be returned to the site within 3 days of collection.  Note:  TheScreening stool sample may be taken anytime during 
the Screening period but should be collected prior to any bowel prep.  Remaining sample will be stored for potential researchtesting.
n.
Anti-dsDNA performed if ANA result is positive.
o.
Blood samples for the measurement of adalimumab, AAA concentrations, serologic markers and mRNA will be collected prior to dosing.  All adalimumab samples should 
be shipped the same day they are collected at Weeks 10, 22 and 35 to ensure adequate processing time to determine blinded serum concentration levels needed for 
dosing adjustments, where applicable, at Weeks 12, 24 and 37.  Note:  Testing of the adalimumab and AAA concentrations must not be performed locally.  All 
pharmacokinetic results will remain blinded to the Investigator, study site personnel, and the subject throughout the study.
p.
Verify subject has signed consent for optional pharmacogenetic sample prior to the sample drawn.  If the sample is not collected at Baseline, preferably it should be collected 
at the next study visit.
q.
Subjects will begin the corticosteroid taper at Week 4.  If the Investigator feels that the steroid taper is not advisable for a particular subject at Week 4, the SDP should be 
consulted for evaluation and approval.
r.
Collection of Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) begins the day the subject signs the informed consent.
s.
Subjects will be dispensed the subject diary at Screening and will be trained on how to complete the diary by site staff during the Screening visit.  All subjects should 
complete their subject diary on a daily basis throughout the entire study, including during hospitalizations whenever possible.  The diary will be reviewed by site personnel 
with the subject at each visit and collected at the Final/PD visit.
t.
Administration of drug will be performed after all assessments and examinations scheduled for that day have been completed.
u.
Subjects will be contacted 70 days following study drug discontinuation for an assessment of any new or ongoing AEs, except those subjects who continue on adalimumab 
therapy after the end of study participation.
v.
Visits for dispensing new study drug in case of temperature excursion, loss or damage are not considered an Unscheduled Visit.  In addition, visits to retest a lab will not be 
considered an Unscheduled Visit.

5.3.1.1
Study Procedures
The study procedures outlined in Table 2 are discussed in detail in this section, with the 
exception of drug and HACA/Infliximab concentration measurements, antibody 
measurements, and serologic and mRNA biomarkers (discussed in Section 5.3.2, 
Section 5.3.1.3, and Section 5.3.5.2), and the collection of adverse event (AE) information 
(discussed in Section 6.1.4).  All study data will be recorded in source documents and on 
the appropriate eCRFs.
Informed Consent
At the Screening visit, the subject will sign and date a study specific, Independent Ethics 
Committee (IEC)/Independent Review Board (IRB) approved, informed consent form 
before any study procedures are performed or any medications are withheld from the 
subject in order to participate in this study.  Details regarding how informed consent will 
be obtained and documented are provided in Section 9.3.  Consent will be required for any 
optional testing.
Inclusion/Exclusion Criteria
Subjects will be evaluated to ensure they meet all inclusion criteria and none of the 
exclusion criteria at both the Screening and Baseline Visits.
Medical (including Medication) and Surgical History
A complete medical and surgical history (which includes UC-onset date), history of 
tobacco and alcohol use, will be obtained from each subject during the Screening Period. 
An updated medical history will be obtained at the Baseline Visit to ensure that the 
subject still qualifies.
Prior azathioprine or 6-MP use or MTX (since birth) will be asked.  If subjects have/had 
ever treated with azathioprine or 6-MP or MTX, the duration of therapy, maximum dose, 
reason for use and reason(s) for termination of treatment with azathioprine and/or 6-MP 
and/or MTX will be recorded in the appropriate eCRF.

Adalimumab
M14-033 Protocol Amendment 3
EudraCT 2013-001682-16
67
A detailed medical history with respect to Loss of Response and/or Intolerance to 
Infliximab must be documented in the subject's source documents.  Documentation must 
include the investigator's judgment based on the conditions defined in Appendix H.
A detailed medical history with respect to TB exposure also needs to be documented.  
This information needs to include Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccination, 
cohabitation with individuals who have had TB, and/or residence or work in TB-endemic 
locations.
Vital Signs
Vital sign determinations of sitting blood pressure (diastolic and systolic), pulse rate, 
respiratory rate, body temperature, and body weight will be obtained at each visit prior to 
blood draws.  Weight measurements of subjects (with clothes on) should be obtained at 
each visit using the same measuring instrument.  Height will be measured at the Screening 
Visit only.  All measurements will be recorded in metric units when applicable.
Endoscopy
All endoscopies should be recorded in a video format at the time points noted in Table 2.  
Endoscopies will be reviewed by a primary central reviewer who is blinded to the 
subject's clinical data, the site's endoscopy assessment and the subject's therapy.  If, in the 
assessment of the endoscopist, the Screening endoscopy does not indicate an endoscopy 
subscore of 2 or 3 per eligibility requirements, the subject should be screen-failed and the 
video should not be sent for central review.  The endoscopy during the Screening period, 
at Week 8 and Week 52/PD Visit (for subjects who remain in the study through at least 
Week 24) will be used for calculation of the endoscopy subscore of the Mayo Score, refer 
to Appendix C.  The endoscopy subscore will be documented by the endoscopist at the 
site and maintained in the subject's source documents.  The endoscopist will also 
document the presence or absence of friability in the subject's source documents and 
eCRF.

Adalimumab
M14-033 Protocol Amendment 3
EudraCT 2013-001682-16
68
Screening endoscopy:  A full colonoscopy will be performed at Screening unless the 
subject underwent a full colonoscopy within 12 months prior to Screening and appropriate 
documentation is available (to confirm the diagnosis and extent of disease and no 
evidence of current dysplasia and colon cancer).  In this case, the screening endoscopy 
may be either a full colonoscopy or a flexible sigmoidoscopy.
The endoscopy subscore result from the central reviewer will be entered into the eCRF by 
the site and used to evaluate the eligibility of a subject at Baseline for the study.  A second 
central read (adjudication) of the screening endoscopy will be required if the subject's 
eligibility for the study is discrepant between the site and central reader.  For instance, if a 
site endoscopist scores the endoscopy subscore of 2 and the central reader provides a 
score of 1, the subject's ability to be enrolled would be in question and that would lead to 
an adjudication using a second central reader as outlined in the endoscopy central reader 
manual.  The adjudicator will perform an independent review with read-only access to 
both site and central assessments (blinded to the source of assessments).  The adjudicator
will not provide an assessment but will select the assessment with whom he/she agrees.  
The adjudicator's assessment will be considered final.
Week 8 and Week 52/PD endoscopy:  The Week 8 and Week 52/PD endoscopies may be 
either full colonoscopies or flexible sigmoidoscopies.  The site's endoscopist scoring will 
be entered into the eCRF by the site and used for the Mayo score calculation for the 
purposes of re-randomization.  The central reader's assessment will be used for the Mayo 
scores used in all efficacy endpoint assessments.
Only endoscopists designated to take part in the study will perform the endoscopies. 
Biopsy During Endoscopy
Appropriate documentation of biopsy results consistent with the diagnosis of UC, in the 
assessment of the Investigator, must be available in order to confirm the subject's 
eligibility for the study.  If this documentation is not available a diagnostic biopsy from 
the most affected observed area of the colon must be performed during the Screening 

Adalimumab
M14-033 Protocol Amendment 3
EudraCT 2013-001682-16
69
endoscopy and read by a qualified local pathologist and the results reviewed by the 
Investigator.  Biopsies to rule out dysplasia and colon cancer may be taken during any 
study endoscopy per the Investigator's discretion and evaluated by the local pathologist.
The signed pathology reports confirming the diagnosis and when appropriate, ruling out 
current dysplasia/malignancy will be monitored by the responsible CRA and kept with the 
subject's source documents onsite.  Subjects will not be enrolled if colon dysplasia or 
colon cancer is discovered at the Screening endoscopy.  If a diagnosis of colon dysplasia 
or colon cancer is discovered during any subsequent endoscopic evaluation during the 
course of the study, the findings should be recorded as an adverse event and the subject 
should be discontinued from the study.
Additional tissue biopsy sample(s) will be collected from each observed bowel segment 
(rectum, sigmoid, descending colon, transverse colon, ascending colon/cecum) and stored 
for histologic analysis by a central laboratory, as described below.
Up to 10 biopsy specimens per subject should be obtained at each endoscopy for 
histologic assessment.  Two (2) biopsies should be taken from each observed segment of 
the colon (rectum, sigmoid, descending colon, transverse colon, ascending colon/cecum).  
One biopsy should be taken from the area of most inflammation (if the area is ulcerated, 
the sample should be obtained from the edge of the ulcer).  The second biopsy should be 
taken from an area that is representative of the general degree of mucosal inflammation 
present in that segment.
For all histology biopsies, the location of the biopsy specimen (distance from the anal 
margin) should be recorded.
In the absence of any visible lesions or areas of general inflammation characteristic of 
ulcerative colitis, one biopsy specimen should be collected from normal mucosa in the 
same segments as noted above.

dysplasia/malignancy should be processed and read locally per site standards.
Up to 10 biopsy specimens per subject should be obtained by endoscopy for histologic 
assessment at Screening, Week 8, and Week 52/PD.  Using routine forceps for tissue 
collection, obtain the required number of biopsy specimens from each of the identified 
regions and process the specimens following the instructions in the Investigator Manual 
provided by the laboratory.
Tissue Analysis
The following analyses will be sent to the central laboratory and performed on 
formalin-fixed samples:
1.
Qualitative ulcerative colitis histological assessment for the colon using a 
histologic scoring system.
2.
These samples may not be read in real time, however if unexpected findings, such 
as dysplasia, are noted on the histology biopsies, the central laboratory will contact 
the Investigator to inform him/her about the unexpected finding.  Subjects who are 
found to have dysplasia on the submitted biopsy will be terminated from the trial at 
the time the dysplasia is discovered.  Unexpected findings should be recorded as an 
adverse event.
3.
Any remaining tissue (per local requirements) could be used for future exploratory 
analysis of non-genetic biomarkers related to the subject's disease and/or response 
to study drug or additional therapies, and/or development of adverse events.  These 
samples may also be used for the development of diagnostic tests.  Results of 
exploratory analyses, if any, will not be reported with the study summary.  AbbVie 
will store the samples in a secure storage space with adequate measures to protect 
confidentiality.  The samples will be retained for no longer than 20 years after 
completion of the study (where allowed by local requirements).

Physical Examination
A physical exam will be performed at the designated study visits as outlined in Table 2.  
Physical examinations performed at Screening, Week 8 and Week 52/PD Visits are full 
physical examinations and must include an assessment of extra-intestinal manifestations 
(EIMs).  Physical exams performed at all other visits are symptom-based.
Physical examination findings that are related to or part of each subject's medical history 
should be captured on the appropriate medical history eCRF.
TB Screening
A PPD skin test (alternatively, also known as tuberculin skin test) must be placed or a 
Interferon-Gamma Release Assay (IGRA; QuantiFERON-TB Gold In-Tube test or 
T-SPOT TB test) must be performed during the Screening Period for all subjects 
including those with a prior history of BCG administration.  If a subject had a negative 
PPD or IGRA test within 90 days prior to Screening, and all protocol required 
documentation is available, this test does not need to be repeated, provided nothing has 
changed in the subject's medical history to warrant a repeat test.  These cases must be 
discussed with the AbbVie SDP.
For the PPD Test:
The subject will be required to have the PPD test read by a licensed healthcare 
professional 48 to 72 hours (or according to manufacturer's guide) after placement when 
the induration is maximal.  An induration (not erythema) of 5 mm or greater will be 
considered as PPD positive, irrespective of BCG status or local guidelines.  The 
induration must be recorded in mm not as positive or negative.  The absence of induration 
should be recorded as "0 mm," not "negative."  (If required by specific countries, a 
two-step test may be performed per local guidelines.  The result of the second test should 
be recorded.  An induration of 5 mm or greater will be considered as PPD positive.)
Subjects who have had an ulcerating reaction to a PPD skin test in the past should not be 
re-exposed and should not be tested at Screening but will be considered PPD-positive.

Adalimumab
M14-033 Protocol Amendment 3
EudraCT 2013-001682-16
72
If there are sites where the accepted testing materials are not available an alternative may 
be substituted, but the method must be submitted and approved by AbbVie prior to use 
with study subjects.
In the assessment of the chest x-ray, a radiologist must note the presence or absence of 
(1) calcified granulomas, (2) pleural scarring/thickening, and (3) signs of active TB.  The 
Principal Investigator will indicate the clinical significance of any findings and will sign 
and date the report.  If the chest x-ray demonstrates changes suggestive of previous TB 
(e.g., calcified nodule, fibrotic scar, apical or basilar pleural thickening) or other findings 
that are clinically significant, the Principal Investigator must contact the AbbVie SDP 
before enrolling the subject.
If the PPD or the IGRA test is positive or the subject has a chest x-ray indicative of latent 
TB, the subject will be required to initiate and have taken at least 2 weeks (or per local 
guidelines, whichever is longer) of an ongoing course of Center for Disease Control 
(CDC) recommended prophylaxis or prophylaxis per local guidelines prior to starting 
study therapy.
Subjects with a prior history of latent TB that have a documented completion of the CDC 
recommended or local guideline recommended prophylaxis may be permitted to enroll.  If 
the subject has a prior history of latent TB but has not completed or received prophylaxis, 
prophylaxis must be initiated for at least 2 weeks (or per local guidelines, whichever is 
longer) before enrolling into the study.
If the subject has a prior history of active TB they must have documentation of 
completion of CDC recommended or local guideline recommended treatment and 
documentation of resolution of the infection.
Subjects should be screened for TB using either PPD or IGRA.  In the event both a PPD 
test and an IGRA test are performed; if either test is positive, the subject will be 
considered to be positive and should initiate TB prophylaxis.  If the IGRA test is 
indeterminate, the site should repeat the test with another blood sample or perform a PPD 

Adalimumab
M14-033 Protocol Amendment 3
EudraCT 2013-001682-16
73
test.  If the second IGRA test is also indeterminate, the subject is considered to be positive 
and should initiate TB prophylaxis.
Prior, ongoing and newly initiated TB prophylactic treatment should be captured on the 
concomitant medications page in the eCRF and in the source documents.  Known history 
of latent/active TB should be captured in medical history eCRF page.
For sites participating in the Czech Republic, the following local requirements will 
also be applicable:
●
A pulmonologist will be responsible to obtain a detailed medical history with 
respect to TB exposure.  This information needs to include BCG vaccination, 
cohabitation with individuals who have had TB, and residence or work in TB 
endemic locations.  The information obtained by the pulmonologist must be 
documented in the subject's source note, dated and signed by the 
pulmonologist.
●
A pulmonologist must review the results of the PPD skin test or the IGRA test 
and the chest x-ray and provide his/her opinion about the eligibility of each 
subject to be enrolled to the study.  This opinion must be documented in 
writing in the subject's source documents.
●
All subjects with a positive PPD or IGRA test need to be approved for entry 
into the trial by both the Czech pulmonologist and the AbbVie SDP and all 
such subjects need to receive prophylaxis for latent TB.  Under no 
circumstances can a subject with a positive PPD or IGRA test result and no 
prior history of treatment for active or latent TB be allowed into this trial.
Chest X-Ray
All subjects will undergo a standard chest x-ray (PA and lateral views) at the Screening 
Visit to rule out the presence of TB or other clinically relevant findings.  The chest x-ray 
will not be required if the subject had a previous normal chest x-ray within 90 days of 
Screening, provided all protocol required documentation is available at the site (as 
outlined below).

Adalimumab
M14-033 Protocol Amendment 3
EudraCT 2013-001682-16
74
In the assessment of the chest x-ray, a radiologist must note the presence or absence of 
(1) calcified granulomas, (2) pleural scarring/thickening, and (3) signs of active TB.  The 
Principal Investigator will indicate the clinical significance of any findings and will sign 
and date the report.  The CXR reports require the signature of both the radiologist who 
read the films and the Principal Investigator.  If it is the site's policy that the radiologist 
does not sign the final report, the report must include the date of the procedure, the name 
of the interpreting radiologist and at a minimum must be signed and dated by the Principal 
Investigator.
Subjects can have a repeat chest x-ray at any time during the study as warranted based on 
the opinion of the Investigator.
12-Lead ECG
A resting 12-lead ECG will be performed at the designated study visits in Table 2.  A 
qualified physician will interpret the clinical significance of any abnormal finding, sign, 
and date each ECG.  Any clinically significant findings will be documented in the source 
documents and later transcribed on to the appropriate eCRF.  Each signed original ECG 
will be monitored by the responsible CRA and kept with subject's source documents 
onsite.
For subjects with a normal ECG taken within 90 days of Screening, a repeat ECG at 
Screening will not be required, provided all protocol required documentation is available.  
If there are other findings that are clinically significant, the Principal Investigator must 
contact the SDP before enrolling the subject.
Subjects can have a repeat ECG at any time during the study as warranted based on the 
opinion of the Investigator.
Laboratory Assessments
Samples obtained for the laboratory tests will be collected as indicated in Table 2.  Blood 
draws should be performed after efficacy assessments and vital sign determinations are 

Adalimumab
M14-033 Protocol Amendment 3
EudraCT 2013-001682-16
75
made.  Additional laboratory tests may be obtained when clinically warranted.  Should a 
laboratory test value be outside the reference range and be considered by the Investigator 
to be clinically significant, the test should be repeated to verify the result.  All laboratory 
test results that are considered clinically significant by the Investigator will be followed to 
a satisfactory resolution.
The Central Laboratory chosen for the study will process the samples and provide results 
for the clinical laboratory tests indicated in Table 3.
The last clinical laboratory test value obtained prior to randomization will serve as the 
baseline laboratory test values.  Laboratory abnormalities are considered to be adverse 
events only if they result in discontinuation from the study, necessitate therapeutic 
medical intervention, and/or if the investigator considers them to be adverse events.
The laboratory results will be sent from the central laboratory to the investigative site 
where they will be reviewed, signed and dated by the Investigator.  The central laboratory 
will provide instructions regarding the collection, processing, and shipping of samples.
If required by country regulatory authorities to confirm eligibility, subjects will be tested 
for antibodies to the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) at Screening and documented 
that the test has been performed.  This testing is to be done at a local laboratory.  A 
subject will not be eligible for study participation if test results indicate a positive HIV 
infection.  AbbVie will not receive results from the testing and will not be made aware of 
any positive result.

Pregnancy Tests
A serum pregnancy test will be performed on all women of childbearing potential at 
Screening.  Urine pregnancy tests will be performed locally by designated study personnel 
at the Baseline Visit, and at the Week 52/PD for all women of childbearing potential.  The 
frequency can be increased up to every visit as per local regulations.
If any urine pregnancy test is positive, a serum pregnancy test will be performed by the 
central laboratory.  A lactating or pregnant female will not be eligible for participation or 
continuation in this study.
Hepatitis B Testing
All subjects will be tested for the presence of the Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) at Screening.  
A positive result for the Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBs Ag) will be exclusionary.  
Samples that are negative for HBs Ag will be tested for surface antibodies (HBs Ab) and 
core antibodies (HBc Ab Total).  Subjects with HBs Ag (–), HBs Ab *(–), and 
HBc Ab Total (+) require PCR qualitative testing for HBV DNA.  Any HBV DNA PCR 
result that meets or exceeds detection sensitivity will be exclusionary.  Subjects with a 
negative HBs Ag test and tests showing the results below do not require HBV DNA PCR 
qualitative testing: 
●
HBc Ab Total (–) and HBs Ab *(–) 
●
HBc Ab Total (–) and HBs Ab *(+)

Other Laboratory Assessments
Stool Sample (Fecal Calprotectin, C. Difficile, and Metagenomic Analyses)
During the Screening Period, a stool sample will be collected and sent to the central 
laboratory for testing.  The sample will be assessed for the presence of C. difficile toxin, 
fecal calprotectin and microbiota metagenomic analyses.  Subjects will be sent home with 
a stool sample supply kit as indicated in Table 2 if a sample cannot be obtained during the 
site visit.  The site will give instructions to the subjects with the collection procedures.  
The fecal calprotectin sample collected during the Screening period will be used as the 
baseline.
All stool samples should be collected before any bowel preparation for endoscopy is 
started and returned to the site within 3 days of collection.  All microbiota metagenomic 
analyses stool samples should be scored using the Bristol stool chart (Appendix I) by site 
staff.  A central laboratory(s) will be utilized to process these laboratory samples.  The 
samples must be shipped to the central laboratory using dry ice.  Additional information is 
available in the Investigator Manual provided by the central laboratory.  Subjects can 
Re-screen if they have a positive C. difficile at Screening, are treated appropriately, and 
have a negative C. difficile upon completion of treatment.

Adalimumab
M14-033 Protocol Amendment 3

Fecal calprotectin and microbiota metagenomic analysis will be performed for all subjects 
as indicated in Table 2.  Fecal calprotectin and microbiota metagenomic results will 
remain blinded to the Investigator, study site personnel and the subject throughout the 
study.
Any remaining stool (per local requirements) could be used for future exploratory analysis 
of non-genetic biomarkers related to the subject's disease and/or response to study drug or 
additional therapies, and/or development of adverse events.  These samples may also be 
used for the development of diagnostic tests.  Results of exploratory analyses, if any, will 
not be reported with the study summary.  AbbVie will store the samples in a secure 
storage space with adequate measures to protect confidentiality.  The samples will be 
retained for no longer than 20 years after completion of the study (where allowed by local 
requirements) for possible future research.
Outcome Assessments
IBDQ
IBDQ will be completed at the time points indicated in Table 2 (Appendix F).
Mayo Score/Partial Mayo Score 
Data from the patient diaries will be collected so Mayo score/Partial Mayo Score may be 
calculated at the time points indicated in Table 2.
Whenever possible, the same physician (investigator or subinvestigator) should determine 
the Physician's Global Assessment (PGA) subscore for an individual subject through the 
duration for the study.  The directions for capturing the stool frequency subscore, rectal 
bleeding subscore, and PGA subscores of the Mayo score are described in Appendix C.

complete the SF-36 at the visits indicated in Table 2 (Appendix G).
Work Productivity and Impairment Questionnaire (WPAI)
Subjects will complete the WPAI Questionnaire at the time-points indicated in Table 2.  
The data in the subject-completed questionnaire will be transferred to the appropriate 
eCRF by the site personnel at each study visit (Appendix D).
Corticosteroid Therapy
At and after Week 4, subjects who are on oral prednisone (or equivalent) or budesonide or 
beclomethasone will initiate a taper of their corticosteroid dose.  If the Investigator feels 
that the steroid taper is not advisable for a particular subject at Week 4, the SDP should be 
consulted for evaluation and approval.  A proposed tapering schedule is shown below.
Dose
Rate
Prednisone (or equivalent)

Subject Diary
Subjects will be dispensed an electronic diary at Screening and will be trained on how to 
complete the diary by site staff during the Screening visit.  All subjects should complete 
their subject diary on a daily basis throughout the entire study.  The diary will be reviewed 
by site personnel with the subject at each visit and collected at the Final/PD visit.
The dosing records will be reviewed and verified for compliance at each visit by the 
research personnel at the study center and reinforced if necessary.  All relevant dosing 
information will be retained by the study coordinator and transcribed into the eCRF.  
Additionally, any discernible departure from the protocol regarding study drug 
administration will be recorded on the source documents and in the appropriate drug 
accountability form.  
Study Drug Dispensing/Administration
Study drug will be administered to all subjects onsite by either site medical staff or the 
subject or designee (friend, family member or health care professional) during the 
first visit.  The subject or a designated family member or friend will be trained to 
administer the SC injections of adalimumab.  Detailed instructions and training for the 
administration of adalimumab are provided in Appendix E.
Adalimumab injections occurring during study visits will be performed at the visit by the 
subject or his/her designated family member, friend or Healthcare Professional under the 
supervision of trained medical personnel to reinforce proper aseptic SC injection 
technique.  Subjects or a trained designated family member, friend or Healthcare 
Professional will perform the injections of adalimumab in the subject's home during the 
weeks they are not in for scheduled clinic visits.
Study drug kits are assigned by the IVRS/IWRS following the subjects randomized 
treatment schedule.

The first four doses of study drug will be administered on site the same day at the 
Baseline Visit and Week 1 Visit.  On Week 2, 24 and 37 visits, the IVR will have to be 
called twice.  The first call to the IVR will determine the first two kits to be administered 
to the subject during the visit.  Site staff will need to contact the IVR system a 
second time to obtain the additional two kits which will be provided to the subject to take 
home.  The site staff will remind the subject to take the syringes in the correct order per 
kit before opening a new kit, when applicable.  The IVR will be contacted once at all 
remaining on-site visits to receive the correct study drug kit(s).  The first syringe will be 
administered at the site and the remaining kits containing syringes will be sent home with 
the subject.  Subjects must be reminded to take the syringes in the assigned kits in the 
order dispensed by the IVR system.
A ± 3-day dosing window is allowable for scheduled study dosing dates.  For subjects 
who deviate from this dosing window, every effort should be made to bring the subject 
back to the original dosing schedule as soon as possible.  For situations where bringing 
the subject back on the original dosing schedule will cause the dose to be out of the 
± 3-day dosing window, please contact the Monitor for additional instructions.
At all office visits, subjects should be observed after study drug administration until 
judged clinically stable by the study personnel.  If an anaphylactic reaction or other 
serious allergic reaction occurs, administration of study medication should be 
discontinued immediately and appropriate therapy initiated.  When dosing at home 
subjects should be instructed to contact the site immediately with any signs or symptoms 
of a reaction.  If subjects are unable to reach his/her study site or experience 
life-threatening symptoms, they will be instructed to call an emergency number or 
proceed to the nearest emergency room and then inform the site as soon as possible.
Subjects will be instructed to return all used and unused syringes, sharp containers and 
empty boxes at each visit for accountability.

The steroid-free endpoints require subjects to have discontinued steroids for at least 
90 days.  While steroid therapy is associated with significant toxicity, durable steroid-free 
status may be more clinically meaningful than discontinuation evaluated simply at a 
single point in time.  A position paper on endpoints in ulcerative colitis trials suggested 
that the minimal clinically significant corticosteroid-free duration is unclear, but the 
authors suggested that 3 months or longer represented a clinically meaningful endpoint in 
therapeutic trials.14  The duration of steroid-free status should also be considered within
the context of the duration of the clinical study, the maximum allowed steroid dose at 
Baseline, and the tapering schedule.  Based on these factors, 90 days was felt to be 
clinically meaningful and therefore this duration was selected for the ranked secondary 
endpoints that evaluate steroid-free status in this study.

Safety Variables
Safety will be assessed by adverse events, physical examination, vital signs and laboratory 
data during the entire study.
5.3.4
Pharmacokinetic Variables
Serum concentrations of adalimumab at each scheduled sampling time will be 
summarized and stratified by treatment regimen.  The number and percentage of subjects 
who develop AAA will be determined.  The adalimumab concentration data may be 
analyzed using a nonlinear mixed effects model (population PK analysis).  The 
relationship of response (primary efficacy variables and other responses of interest) with 
study drug exposure will be explored.
5.3.5
Pharmacogenetic and Serologic Variables
5.3.5.1
Pharmacogenetic Variables
Samples may be sequenced and data analyzed for DNA sequences contributing to the 
disease or to the subject's response to adalimumab, in terms of pharmacokinetics, efficacy, 
tolerability, and safety.  Such DNA sequences may include those related to drug 
metabolizing enzymes, drug transport proteins, the target pathway, or others related to the 
disease or to drug response.  Some DNA sequences that are currently insufficiently 
characterized or unknown may be understood to be important at the time of analysis.  The 
samples may also be used for the development of diagnostic tests.  The results of 
pharmacogenetic analyses may not be reported with the study summary.

Adalimumab
M14-033 Protocol Amendment 3

92
5.3.5.2
Serologic Variables
Samples may be analyzed for plasma and serum proteins, peptides, and non-protein 
soluble factors such as lipids that may help predict disease behavior, adverse events, and 
help determine more severe disease phenotypes. 
Where allowed by local requirements at the time of the blood draw for biomarkers, serum 
may be stored for possible future research.  Samples will be stored frozen for future 
exploratory analysis of non-genetic biomarkers related to the subject's disease and/or 
response to study drug or additional therapies, or development of adverse events.  These 
samples may also be used for the development of diagnostic tests.  Results of exploratory 
analyses, if any, will not be reported with the study summary.  AbbVie will store the 
samples in a secure storage space with adequate measures to protect confidentiality.  As 
allowed by local requirements, the samples will be retained for up to 20 years after 
completion of the study research.
5.4
Removal of Subjects from Therapy or Assessment
5.4.1
Discontinuation of Individual Subjects
A subject may withdraw from the study at any time.  The Investigator may discontinue 
any subject's participation for any reason, including an adverse event, safety concerns or 
failure to comply with the protocol.
Subjects will be withdrawn from the study immediately if any one of the following 
occurs:
●
Clinically significant abnormal laboratory result(s) or adverse event(s), as 
determined by the Investigator in consultation with the AbbVie SDP.
●
The Investigator believes it is in the best interest of the subject.
●
The subject requests withdrawal from the study.
●
Inclusion and exclusion criteria violation was noted after the subject started 
study drug, when continuation of the study drug would place the subject at risk 
as determined by the AbbVie SDP (see Section 5.2 and Section 7.0).

Adalimumab
M14-033 Protocol Amendment 3
EudraCT 2013-001682-16
93
●
Introduction of prohibited medications or dosages when continuation of the 
study drug would place the subject at risk as determined by the AbbVie SDP.
●
Subject is non-compliant with TB prophylaxis.
●
The subject becomes pregnant while on study medication.
●
Subject has dysplasia of the gastrointestinal tract or a malignancy, except for 
localized non-melanoma skin cancer.  Discontinuation for carcinoma in-situ of 
the cervix is at the discretion of the Investigator.  
●
Subject is diagnosed with lupus-like syndrome, multiple sclerosis or 
demyelinating disease.
●
Subject is significantly non-compliant with study procedures which would put 
the subject at risk for continued participation in the trial, as determined by the 
Investigator, in consultation with the AbbVie SDP.   
If, during the course of study drug administration, the subject prematurely discontinues 
study drug use, the procedures outlined for the PD Visit must be completed within 
2 weeks of the last dose of study drug, and preferably prior to the initiation of another 
therapy.  However, these procedures should not interfere with the initiation of any new 
treatments or therapeutic modalities that the Investigator feels are necessary to treat the 
subject's condition.  Following discontinuation of the study drug, the subject will be 
treated in accordance with the Investigator's best clinical judgment.
A final phone call will be made to the subject approximately 70 days after the last dose of 
study drug to determine the status of any ongoing AEs/SAEs or the occurrence of any new 
AEs/SAEs.  The 70-day follow-up phone call will not be required for any subject that 
initiates commercial adalimumab.
All attempts must be made to determine the date of the last dose of study drug and the 
primary reason for PD.  The information will be recorded on the appropriate eCRF page.
For subjects that are considered lost to follow-up, reasonable attempts must be made to 
obtain information on the final status of the subject.  At a minimum, two phone calls must 
be made and one certified letter must be sent.

Discontinuation of Entire Study
AbbVie may terminate this study prematurely, either in its entirety or at any study site, for 
reasonable cause provided that written notice is submitted in advance of the intended 
termination.  The investigator may also terminate the study at his/her site for reasonable 
cause, after providing written notice to AbbVie in advance of the intended termination.  
Advance notice is not required by either party if the study is stopped due to safety 
concerns.  If AbbVie terminates the study for safety reasons, AbbVie will immediately 
notify the investigator by telephone and subsequently provide written instructions for 
study termination.

the medication as acceptable.
All clinical supplies must be stored and locked in a secure place until they are dispensed 
for subject use or are returned to AbbVie Inc.
Investigational products are for investigational use only and are to be used only within the 
context of this study.
5.5.3
Method of Assigning Subjects to Treatment Regimens
All subjects will be assigned a unique identification number by the IRT at the screening 
study visit.  Subjects who meet the entry criteria in Section 5.2.1 and Section 5.2.2 will 
proceed to be enrolled into the Induction Study.  Subjects who enter the Induction Study 
will be randomized at Week 0 in a 3:2 ratio into the criteria-driven regimens using the 
IRT, which will assign a randomization number according to the randomization scheme, 
generated by AbbVie before the start of the study.  The randomization will be stratified by 
previous infliximab use and Baseline corticosteroid use.  The criteria-driven regimen 
assignment will be maintained by the IRT.  Subjects will be referred to by the subject 
number assigned at Screening.
Subjects will return to the study site and will be re-randomized via IRT into the 44-Week 
Double-Blind Maintenance Study at the conclusion of the Week 8 Visit to one of three 
treatment regimens in a 2:2:1 ratio.  Subjects will be re-stratified by:  induction treatment 
regimen and response status (per Full Mayo Score) at Week 8.  Among Week 8 
responders, the randomization will be further stratified by remission status (per Full Mayo 
Score) at Week 8.

The sites will be provided with appropriate kit number(s) for drug-dispensing purpose for 
each subject by the IRT.  Before the study is initiated, the directions for the IRT will be 
provided to each site.  Study drug will be dispensed/administered at the study visits 
summarized in Table 2.
5.5.4
Selection and Timing of Dose for Each Subject
Subjects should take study medication as outlined in Section 5.5.1.  If a subject should 
forget to administer the injection of study medication on his/her regularly scheduled 
dosing date, he or she should take the forgotten injection as soon as they remember the 
dose was missed up to the day of his/her next scheduled dose.  The subject should not 
administer two doses on the same day.  
In the event the incorrect dose is taken or a dose is missed, the subject should be 
instructed to contact the site to determine how to proceed with dosing.  The subject must 
record all home dosing information in the subject diary.
Doses not administered (e.g., not taken before next dose is scheduled), should be recorded 
as not taken in the source.  The extra dose should be returned to the study site full.  The 
subject should resume his/her regular dosing schedule based on the first dosing date at 
Baseline.
5.5.5
Blinding
5.5.5.1
Blinding of Investigational Product
All AbbVie personally with direct oversight of the conduct and management of the trial 
(with the exception of the AbbVie Drug Supply Management Team) the Investigator, 
study site personnel and the subject will remain blinded to each subject's treatment 
throughout the blinded period of the study.  The IRT will provide access to blinded 
subject treatment information in the case of medical emergency.
In the event of a medical emergency in which the Investigator believes that knowledge of 
study drug treatment is required, every effort must be made to contact the AbbVie SDP 

Adalimumab
M14-033 Protocol Amendment 3
EudraCT 2013-001682-16
100
(see Section 7.0) prior to breaking the blind, as long as it does not compromise subject 
safety.  The date and reason that the blind was broken must be conveyed to AbbVie and 
recorded on the appropriate eCRF.
5.5.6
Treatment Compliance
The investigator or his/her designated and qualified representatives will dispense study 
drug only to subjects enrolled in the study in accordance with the protocol.  The study 
drug must not be used for reasons other than that described in the protocol.
The subject or his/her qualified designee will administer all doses of study drug.  
Appropriate site staff will supervise the subject's administration of the study drug at 
required in-office study visits to ensure proper injection technique.  In order to document 
compliance with the treatment regimen, the subject will be given a diary to record all 
injection dates and times administered at home.  Compliance information will be 
documented on the appropriate eCRF.  Subjects will be counseled on missed doses of 
medication.  If the subject does not return the diary (or information is not available 
electronically), IP boxes and sharp containers (when applicable), the site should question 
the subject and obtain as much information as possible as to the dosing of the study drug.
The information should be documented on the source documents as per "best recollection" 
and when possible, re-verified when the diary is returned or available electronically before 
completing on the applicable eCRF page.
5.5.7
Drug Accountability
The Investigator or designee will verify that study drug supplies are received intact, at the 
appropriate temperature, and in the correct amounts.  This will be accomplished by 
documenting the condition of the shipment, verifying the kit numbers in the package 
against the Proof of Receipt (POR) or similar document included with each drug shipment, 
and documenting this verification by signing and dating the POR or similar document.  
The original POR Note or similar document will be kept in the site files as a record of 
what was received.

Adalimumab
M14-033 Protocol Amendment 3
EudraCT 2013-001682-16
101
In addition, an accurate running inventory of study drug will be kept by the site on a Site 
Drug Accountability log including date received, the lot number, kit number(s), date 
dispensed, subject number, and the identification with date of the person dispensing the 
drug.  For this study, unless otherwise prohibited locally, these records will be maintained 
electronically as part of the IVRS/IWRS system.
All empty IP boxes and used pre-filled syringes will be inventoried by the site.  Each 
subject will be given his/her own Sharps disposal container to store used pre-filled 
syringes.  Empty IP boxes and Sharps containers should be returned by the subject at each 
visit for accountability and compliance purposes and new containers issued as necessary.  
Empty Boxes and returned Sharps containers will be retained (unless prohibited by local 
law or site policy/procedure) until the CRA is on site to confirm the returned medication.  
CRAs and site staff will complete study medication accountability via study medication 
logs, source documents, subject diary, empty IP boxes and by visually inspecting the 
syringes in the Sharps container whenever possible.  Used Sharps containers should never 
be opened.  Once the CRA has verified drug accountability at the site, the site staff and 
CRA will document that the used pre-filled syringes have been destroyed, using 
appropriate biohazard precautions, when appropriate.  A copy of the destruction 
methodology should be maintained at the site's facility.  Unused medication will be 
returned by the CRA after drug accountability has been completed at the site.

Discussion and Justification of Study Design
5.6.1
Discussion of Study Design and Choice of Control 
Regimens
Study M14-033 is a global, randomized, multicenter study of standard versus higher 
adalimumab dosing regimens for induction and maintenance therapy in subjects with 
moderately to severely active UC.  No placebo regimen is planned due to documented 
efficacy of adalimumab in UC and the purpose of this study is to investigate whether 
greater efficacy is achieved with the higher dose than with the standard dose, and to 
compare safety outcomes.  Additionally, since subjects will have evidence of endoscopic 
damage confirmed by a central reader and clinical symptoms consistent with moderately 

Adalimumab
M14-033 Protocol Amendment 3
EudraCT 2013-001682-16
102
to severely active UC, it would be not medically acceptable to deny those subjects 
effective treatment and it would be difficult to enroll subjects in the trial when the drug is 
available to be prescribed for UC.
The study objective is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of higher induction and 
maintenance dosing regimens in subjects with moderately to severely active UC.
5.6.2
Appropriateness of Measurements
Standard statistical, clinical, and laboratory procedures will be utilized in this study.  The 
clinical efficacy measurement used in this study (Mayo Score) has been used in multiple 
pivotal clinical trials in assessing disease activity in subjects with UC.12,13  All clinical and 
laboratory procedures in this study are standard and generally accepted.
5.6.3
Suitability of Subject Population
Subjects with moderately to severely active UC who meet all inclusion criteria and none 
of the exclusion criteria are eligible for this study.  The specific subject population chosen 
was based on unmet medical needs of currently available medical therapies as well as 
previous anti-TNF studies that demonstrated effectiveness in UC.13
5.6.4
Selection of Doses in the Study
Dose regimens and numbers of subjects were determined based on efficacy and safety 
data from the adult UC population from Study M06-827, PK/pharmacodynamic modeling 
using PK and efficacy data from Study M06-827 and observed safety data from high dose 
adalimumab IV studies in rheumatoid arthritis.
Induction Dose Selection
The use of higher induction doses than 160/80 mg in adult subjects with moderately to 
severely active UC is supported by exposure-efficacy analyses from Study M06-827.  At 
Week 8 of Study M06-827, serum trough adalimumab concentrations ranged from 0 to 
22.8 μg/mL following dosing with 160/80 mg at Weeks 0 and 2 and 40 mg at Weeks 4 

Adalimumab
M14-033 Protocol Amendment 3
EudraCT 2013-001682-16
103
and 6.  The highest rate of remission (25.4%) was observed in subjects in the highest 
concentration quartile, in which most observed concentrations ranged from 12 to 
16 μg/mL.  The higher induction regimen selected for testing represents an approximate 
doubling in adalimumab exposure over the first 8 weeks compared to the standard dose, 
and is expected to achieve a higher rate of remission at Week 8 compared to the standard 
approved induction dose regimen.
Maintenance Dose Selection
In order to test the efficacy and safety of a wide range of adalimumab exposure during 
maintenance therapy for UC three dosing strategies will be tested.  Two fixed doses, 
40 mg eow (the currently approved maintenance dose) and 40 mg weekly will be tested.  
An exploratory regimen evaluating a TDM strategy will also be evaluated.  The goal of 
the TDM maintenance dosing regimen is to analyze the feasibility, efficacy, and safety of 
aiming for serum adalimumab levels within a targeted concentration range for making 
decisions regarding dosing.
The targeted concentration range selected for the TDM dosing regimen was based on 
serum concentrations observed during Study M06-827 and the mean serum concentrations 
observed in subjects who achieved remission during this study.  During maintenance 
therapy in Study M06-827, concentrations with maintenance dosing ranged from 0 to 
39.3 μg/mL with eow dosing and 0 to 38.0 μg/mL with 40 mg weekly dosing.  The lower 
bound of the targeted concentration range (10 μg/mL) for the TDM regimen is based on 
serum concentrations in Week 52 remitters in Study M06-827.  In those subjects, the 
median concentrations observed over time were 11.4, 10.6, and 10.8 μg/mL, for Weeks 8, 
32, and 52, respectively. 
Use of this concentration minimum threshold to trigger dose escalation is expected to lead 
to the majority of subjects achieving concentrations greater than 10 μg/mL.  Since serum 
adalimumab concentrations roughly double with a doubling of dose, an upper bound of 
20 μg/mL is expected to achieve maximal trough concentrations in the range of highest 
trough concentrations observed in Study M06-827.  Based on observed adalimumab 

Adalimumab
M14-033 Protocol Amendment 3
EudraCT 2013-001682-16
104
pharmacokinetics in Study M06-827, it is expected that approximately 60% of subjects in 
the TDM dosing regimen will escalate to 40 mg weekly dosing, and approximately 15% 
will receive re-induction thereafter using this concentration range and the RBS criteria 
described in Table 1 as a guide to adjust dosing.

through 6.1.7.  For product complaints, please refer to Section 6.2.
6.1
Medical Complaints
The investigator will monitor each subject for clinical and laboratory evidence of adverse 
events on a routine basis throughout the study.  The investigator will assess and record 
any adverse event in detail including the date of onset, event diagnosis (if known) or 
sign/symptom, severity, time course (end date, ongoing, intermittent), relationship of the 
adverse event to study drug, and any action(s) taken.  For serious adverse events 
considered as having "no reasonable possibility" of being associated with study drug, the 
investigator will provide an "Other" cause of the event.  For adverse events to be 
considered intermittent, the events must be of similar nature and severity.  Adverse events, 
whether in response to a query, observed by site personnel, or reported spontaneously by 
the subject will be recorded.

All adverse events will be followed to a satisfactory conclusion.
6.1.1
Definitions
6.1.1.1
Adverse Event
An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation 
subject administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have a 
causal relationship with this treatment.  An adverse event can therefore be any 
unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or 
disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product, 
whether or not the event is considered causally related to the use of the product.
Such an event can result from use of the drug as stipulated in the protocol or labeling, as 
well as from accidental or intentional overdose, drug abuse, or drug withdrawal.  Any 
worsening of a pre-existing condition or illness is considered an adverse event.  
Worsening in severity of a reported adverse event should be reported as a new adverse 
event.  Laboratory abnormalities and changes in vital signs are considered to be adverse 
events only if they result in discontinuation from the study, necessitate therapeutic 
medical intervention, (refer Section 6.1.7 regarding toxicity management) and/or if the 
investigator considers them to be adverse events.
An elective surgery/procedure scheduled to occur during a study will not be considered an 
adverse event if the surgery/procedure is being performed for a pre-existing condition and 
the surgery/procedure has been pre-planned prior to study entry.  However, if the 
pre-existing condition deteriorates unexpectedly during the study (e.g., surgery performed 
earlier than planned), then the deterioration of the condition for which the elective 
surgery/procedure is being done will be considered an adverse event.
6.1.1.2
Serious Adverse Events
If an adverse event meets any of the following criteria, it is to be reported to AbbVie as a 
SAE within 24 hours of the site being made aware of the serious adverse event.

Adalimumab
M14-033 Protocol Amendment 3
EudraCT 2013-001682-16
106
Death of Subject
An event that results in the death of a subject.
Life-Threatening
An event that, in the opinion of the investigator, would have 
resulted in immediate fatality if medical intervention had not 
been taken.  This does not include an event that would have 
been fatal if it had occurred in a more severe form.
Hospitalization or 
Prolongation of 
Hospitalization
An event that results in an admission to the hospital for any 
length of time or prolongs the subject's hospital stay.  This 
does not include an emergency room visit or admission to an 
outpatient facility.
Congenital Anomaly
An anomaly detected at or after birth, or any anomaly that 
results in fetal loss.
Persistent or 
Significant 
Disability/Incapacity
An event that results in a condition that substantially 
interferes with the activities of daily living of a study subject.  
Disability is not intended to include experiences of relatively 
minor medical significance such as headache, nausea, 
vomiting, diarrhea, influenza, and accidental trauma 
(e.g., sprained ankle).
Important Medical 
Event Requiring 
Medical or Surgical 
Intervention to 
Prevent Serious 
Outcome
An important medical event that may not be immediately 
life-threatening or result in death or hospitalization, but based 
on medical judgment may jeopardize the subject and may 
require medical or surgical intervention to prevent any of the 
outcomes listed above (i.e., death of subject, life-threatening, 
hospitalization, prolongation of hospitalization, congenital 
anomaly, or persistent or significant disability/incapacity).  
Additionally, any elective or spontaneous abortion or 
stillbirth is considered an important medical event.  Examples 
of such events include allergic bronchospasm requiring 
intensive treatment in an emergency room or at home, blood 
dyscrasias or convulsions that do not result in inpatient
hospitalization, or the development of drug dependency or 
drug abuse.
For serious adverse events with the outcome of death, the date and cause of death will be 
recorded on the appropriate case report form.

6.1.2
Adverse Event Severity
The investigator will use the following definitions to rate the severity of each adverse 
event:
Mild
The adverse event is transient and easily tolerated by the subject.
Moderate
The adverse event causes the subject discomfort and interrupts the 
subject's usual activities.
Severe
The adverse event causes considerable interference with the subject's 
usual activities and may be incapacitating or life-threatening.
6.1.3
Relationship to Study Drug
The investigator will use the following definitions to assess the relationship of the adverse 
event to the use of study drug:
Reasonable 
Possibility
An adverse event where there is evidence to suggest a causal 
relationship between the study drug and the adverse event.
No Reasonable 
Possibility
An adverse event where there is no evidence to suggest a causal 
relationship between the study drug and the adverse event.
For causality assessments, events assessed as having a reasonable possibility of being 
related to the study drug will be considered "associated."  Events assessed as having no 
reasonable possibility of being related to study drug will be considered "not associated."  
In addition, when the investigator has not reported a causality or deemed it not assessable, 
AbbVie will consider the event associated.
If an investigator's opinion of no reasonable possibility of being related to study drug is 
given, an Other cause of event must be provided by the investigator for the serious 
adverse event.

6.1.4
Adverse Event Collection Period
All adverse events reported from the time of study drug administration until 70 days 
following discontinuation of study drug administration have elapsed will be collected, 
whether solicited or spontaneously reported by the subject.  In addition, serious adverse 
events will be collected from the time the subject signed the study-specific informed 
consent.  Adverse event information will be collected and recorded on the appropriate 
eCRFs.
Subjects will be contacted approximately 70 days following study drug discontinuation 
for an assessment of any new or ongoing AEs, except those subjects who continue on 
adalimumab therapy after the end of study participation.  These subjects are not required 
to complete the 70-day follow-up and any new Adverse Events should be reported 
through the mechanism used for all post marketing adverse experiences.
All Adverse Events identified to AbbVie from the 70-day follow-up phone call will be 
collected as source data to be evaluated and reported (Figure 4).  Thus, all SAEs and non-
serious AEs, as defined by AbbVie, as well as the medication for AEs/SAEs, reported 
during the 70-day follow-up phone call must be captured in the clinical database via the 
eCRF and also recorded in source documentation (Appendix J).  The end of trial is the last 
subject contact, i.e., the 70-day follow-up call.
Adverse event information will be collected as shown in Figure 4.

Information regarding a pregnancy occurrence in a study subject and the outcome of the 
pregnancy will be collected.
Pregnancy in a study subject is not considered an AE.  However, the medical outcome of 
an elective or spontaneous abortion, stillbirth or congenital anomaly is considered a SAE 
and must be reported to AbbVie within 24 hours of the site becoming aware of the event.
6.1.7
Toxicity Management
Subjects who develop a new infection while undergoing treatment with adalimumab 
should be monitored closely.  Administration of study injections should be interrupted if a 
subject develops an infection requiring IV anti-infective treatment or if an infection meets 
the definition of "serious" (see Section 6.1.1 for definitions).  Study medication may be 
restarted once the physician determines that the infection has been successfully treated.  
Otherwise prohibited concomitant medications may be given if medically necessary.  
Prior to use, every attempt should be made to contact the AbbVie Study Physician for 
direction on re-introduction of adalimumab therapy after prohibited medication 
administration.
If the subject must undergo elective surgery, the study injections must be interrupted 
two weeks prior to the surgery.  If the subject must undergo emergency surgery, the study 
injections must be interrupted at the time of the surgery.  The injectable study medication 
can recommence at least two weeks after surgery once the physician has examined the 
surgical site and determined that it has healed and there is no sign of infection.
6.2

114
Complete, specific details of the statistical analysis will be described and fully 
documented in the Statistical Analysis Plan (SAP) for the main study and the Japan 
sub-study.  The SAPs will be finalized prior to the database lock.
8.1.1
Analysis Population
The following populations will be used for analyses in this study: 
Intent-to-Treat (ITT1) population includes all subjects who were randomized at Baseline.  
ITT1 subjects will be analyzed as randomized.  ITT1 is the primary population for the 
efficacy analysis at Week 8 during the Induction Study.
Intent-to-Treat maintenance (ITT2) population includes all subjects who are re-
randomized at Week 8 to the Maintenance Study.  ITT2 subjects will be analyzed as 
randomized.  ITT2 is the primary population for the efficacy analysis at Week 52 during 
the Maintenance Study.
The Safety set consists of all subjects who received at least one injection of study drug.  
The Safety set will be analyzed as treated, according to treatment the subject actually 
received.  The safety set will be used only for safety analysis.
8.1.2
Planned Methods of Statistical Analysis
All statistical tests will be two-tailed with the significance level 0.05.  Descriptive 
statistics will be provided.  These include the number of observations, mean, standard 
deviation, minimum, median, and maximum for continuous variables; and counts and 
percentages for discrete variables.  The analysis will be performed using SAS® (SAS 
Institute Inc., Cary, NC, USA).
8.1.3
Demographics and Baseline Characteristics
Demographics and Baseline characteristics of the study subjects will be summarized using 
descriptive statistics.  The p-value will be provided to assess the comparability of the 
treatment groups assigned by randomization.  The continuous variables will be analyzed 

Adalimumab
M14-033 Protocol Amendment 3
EudraCT 2013-001682-16
115
using the analysis of variance (ANOVA), and discrete variables will be analyzed using the 
chi-square test or Fisher's exact test.
8.1.4
Statistical Analyses of Efficacy
8.1.4.1
Primary Efficacy Variables
The primary efficacy endpoint for the Induction Study is:
Proportion of subjects achieving clinical remission (defined as a Full Mayo score ≤ 2 with 
no subscore > 1) at Week 8.
The primary efficacy endpoint for the Maintenance Study is:
Proportion of Week 8 responders (per Full Mayo score, defined as a decrease in Full 
Mayo score of ≥ 3 points and ≥ 30% from Baseline plus a decrease in the rectal bleeding 
subscore [RBS] ≥ 1 or an absolute RBS of 0 or 1) achieving clinical remission (per Full 
Mayo score) at Week 52.
The primary analysis of the Induction Study will compare the subjects in the higher 
adalimumab induction regimen versus the standard adalimumab induction regimen in the 
ITT1 analysis set.  The difference between the treatment regimens in the proportion of 
subjects achieving clinical remission at Week 8 will be assessed using Cochran-Mantel-
Haenszel (CMH) test adjusted for previous infliximab use and Baseline corticosteroid use 
at Baseline.  A CMH based two sided 95% confidence interval for the difference between 
treatment groups will be calculated.  Breslow-Day test for homogeneity of odds ratios will 
be performed as well.  Subjects with missing primary endpoint data at Week 8 will be 
classified as "no clinical remission" (non-responder imputation [NRI] method) for the 
Week 8 endpoint.  Subjects with missing Mayo score data for Week 8 will also be 
classified as Week 8 non responders.
As sensitivity analyses, logistic regression including treatment, the randomization 
stratification factors and additional clinically important factors such as 

Adalimumab
M14-033 Protocol Amendment 3
EudraCT 2013-001682-16
116
Immunosuppressant use at Baseline, Baseline hs-CRP, and disease severity at Baseline 
will also be performed for the primary endpoint for the Induction Study.
The primary analysis of the Maintenance Study will compare the Week 8 responders (per 
Full Mayo Score) in the eow regimen versus the subjects in the ew regimen in the ITT2 
analysis set.  The difference between the treatment regimens in the proportion of subjects 
achieving clinical remission at Week 52 will be assessed using Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel 
(CMH) test adjusted for Induction treatment regimen and the remitter status (per Full 
Mayo Score) at Week 8.  A CMH based two-sided 95% confidence interval for the 
difference between treatment groups will be calculated.  Breslow-Day test for 
homogeneity of odds ratios will be performed as well.  Subjects with missing primary 
endpoint data at Week 52 will be classified as "no clinical remission" (non-responder 
imputation [NRI] method) for the Week 52 endpoint.  Subjects with missing Mayo score 
data for Week 52 will also be classified as Week 52 non-responders.
The TDM regimen will be used for exploratory analyses.
8.1.4.2
Secondary Efficacy Variables
The secondary efficacy variables are divided into two groups.  The first group includes 
ranked secondary endpoints, which are ranked by clinical importance.  Statistical 
significance is assessed at an alpha level of 0.050 (two-sided) in ranked endpoint order 
until the significant level exceeds 0.05.  No additional statistically significant treatment 
differences could be declared if the preceding ranked endpoint fails to achieve 0.05.  The 
second group includes all other additional secondary variables.  For the Induction Study 
endpoints, the difference between the higher adalimumab induction regimen versus the 
standard adalimumab induction regimen will be assessed using ITT1 analysis set.  For the 
Maintenance Study endpoints, the difference between the eow dosing regimen versus the 
ew doing regimen will be assessed using Intent-to-Treat maintenance (ITT2) analysis set 
where Week 8 responder/remitter status will be determined based on the Full Mayo score 
using endoscopy subscore from the central reader.  Categorical data will be described by 
frequency and percentage; continuous data will be described by mean, standard deviation, 

Adalimumab
M14-033 Protocol Amendment 3
EudraCT 2013-001682-16
117
minimum, median, and maximum.  In general, the secondary endpoints at Week 8 that are 
of the binary type will be analyzed using a two-sided CMH test adjusted for previous 
infliximab use and Baseline corticosteroid use in the ITT1 analysis set, and the secondary 
endpoints at Week 52 that are of the binary type will be analyzed using a two-sided CMH 
test adjusted for induction treatment regimen, and remitter status (per Full Mayo score) at 
Week 8 (where applicable) in the ITT2 analysis set.  Additionally, the two-sided 95% 
confidence interval for the difference in proportions will be provided.  Continuous 
secondary efficacy variables will be analyzed using Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) 
with factor for treatment regimen, stratification variables and Baseline values.  NRI for 
missing data will be used for categorical endpoints.  Procedures for handling missing data 
for continuous endpoints will be described in the Statistical Analysis Plan.
8.1.5
Statistical Analyses of Safety
Adverse events (AEs), laboratory data and vital signs are the primary safety parameters in 
this study.  All safety comparisons will be performed for both Induction and Maintenance 
Studies using the safety analysis set which includes all subjects who receive at least 
one dose of study medication in each Study respectively.  Treatment-emergent AEs, will 
be tabulated by MedDRA preferred term by treatment group for the Induction Study and 
the Maintenance Study, and for any adalimumab over the entire study.  Mean changes in 
vital signs, physical examination results, ECGs, and clinical laboratory data values will be 
analyzed.

Interim Analysis
An interim analysis of the primary endpoint and ranked secondary efficacy variables for 
the Induction Study only as well as safety data collected from Baseline through double-
blind Week 8 may be performed after the last subject in ITT1 population completes the 
8-week double-blind Induction Study of the main study.  A database cut will be performed 
and any discrepant data will be clarified before the lock.  Since this interim analysis is the 
only and final analysis of the primary efficacy endpoint of the Induction Study, no 
adjustment of alpha-level is necessary.
8.1.8
Pharmacokinetic Analyses
Adalimumab trough serum concentrations will be summarized by treatment regimen at 
each time point using descriptive statistics.  In addition, pharmacokinetic model based 
analyses will be performed with the focus on apparent clearance (CL/F) and apparent 
volume of distribution (V/F) of adalimumab.  The relationship between adalimumab 
concentrations and clinical response will be determined as appropriate.
AAA will be evaluated for each subject and each dose, and rates of AAA positive will be 
calculated.  As appropriate, the effect of AAA on adalimumab pharmacokinetics, efficacy 
variable(s), and treatment-emergent adverse events may be evaluated.  HACA will be 
evaluated for each subject and each dose, and rates of HACA positive will be calculated.

8.2
Determination of Sample Size
When Protocol M14-033 was initially designed, AbbVie used an assumption regarding 
induction response rate in order to calculate the expected number of Week 8 responders 
that would comprise the analysis set used to compare the Week 52 remission rates in the 
adalimumab 40 mg every other week and 40 mg weekly groups.  AbbVie assumed that 
the overall response rate (per Full Mayo Score) at Week 8 would be 60%, which would 
provide 315 Week 8 responders for the analysis of Week 52 remission (126 in the every 
other week dosing group, 126 in the every week dosing group, and 63 in the exploratory 
TDM group, based upon a 2:2:1 randomization scheme) from the 525 randomized 
induction subjects.  This sample size would provide 80% power to detect a treatment 
difference of 18%, assuming an expected Week 52 remission rate of 48% in the 
adalimumab weekly dosing group and 30% in the adalimumab every other week dosing 
group.
Considering the uncertainty in the Week 8 response rate may be caused by the impact of 
central reading on the endoscopic subscore, based on the ozanimod Phase 2 
TOUCHSTONE trial data presented in early 2015, AbbVie re-estimated the Week 8 
response rate to be 50% instead of 60%.  Under this assumption, if the sample remains 
525, a smaller size of the Week 52 analysis set than was original predicted, and thus an 
insufficient power (72%) for the analysis of the Week 52 remission endpoint is expected.  
Furthermore, Week 52 remission rate will be the primary endpoint of the Maintenance 
Study.  AbbVie proposes to increase the power for this endpoint from 80% as originally 
designed to 90% retaining the currently assumed treatment difference.  The combined 
impact of these changes (i.e., increased power plus higher uncertainty in Week 8 response 
rate) results in an increase in the overall Study M14-033 sample size from 525 subjects to 
a total of 840 subjects.
Subjects will be randomized to the adalimumab higher induction regimen and the 
adalimumab standard induction regimen in a 3:2 ratio.  The sample size calculations for 
the main study are based on a two sided Fisher's exact test at a significance level of 0.05.  
Assuming an expected Week 8 endoscopic improvement rate of 60% in the adalimumab 

Adalimumab
M14-033 Protocol Amendment 3
EudraCT 2013-001682-16
120
higher induction dosing regimen and 45% in the adalimumab standard induction dosing 
regimen, 804 subjects (504 subjects in the higher induction dosing regimen and 
336 subjects in the standard induction dosing regimen) will provide 90% statistical power 
to detect the difference between the two induction treatment regimens.  This sample size 
of 804 subjects in the main study will provide at least 95% power to detect a treatment 
difference of 15% for the primary endpoint of clinical remission, assuming an expected 
Week 8 clinical remission rate of 35% in the adalimumab higher induction regimen and 
20% in the adalimumab standard induction regimen.
Assuming the average response rate at Week 8 in the adalimumab induction dosing 
regimens in the main study is 50%, there will be 420 responders for the analysis of 
Week 52 clinical remission among the Week 8 responders (168 in the higher maintenance 
dosing regimen, 168 in the standard maintenance dosing regimen, and 84 in the TDM 
regimen).  This sample size will provide 90% power to detect a treatment difference of 
18%, assuming an expected Week 52 clinical remission rate of 48% in the adalimumab 
higher maintenance dosing regimen and 30% in the adalimumab standard maintenance 
dosing regimen. 
The sample size calculations for the Japan sub-study are described in Appendix K.
8.3
Randomization Methods
At Baseline, subjects will be randomized 3:2 to one of two double-blinded adalimumab 
induction regimens (higher dose or standard dose).  The randomization will be stratified 
by previous infliximab use and Baseline corticosteroid use.  In both the main study and 
the Japan sub-study populations, up to 25% of subjects with previous infliximab exposure 
may be enrolled.
At the conclusion of the 8-week Induction Study, all subjects will be re-randomized into 
the 44-week Maintenance Study.  Re-randomization will be stratified by induction 
treatment regimen and response status (per Full Mayo Score utilizing the Week 8 
endoscopy subscore provided by the site) at Week 8.  Among Week 8 responders, the 

Adalimumab
M14-033 Protocol Amendment 3
EudraCT 2013-001682-16
121
randomization will be further stratified by remission status (per Full Mayo Score utilizing 
the Week 8 endoscopy subscore provided by the site) at Week 8.  All subjects will be 
randomized into one of three blinded treatment regimens in a 2:2:1 ratio:
●
Adalimumab 40 mg eow
●
Adalimumab 40 mg ew
●
Adalimumab Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (TDM) regimen (exploratory).  
(The Japan sub-study does not have a TDM regimen.  Subjects will be 
randomized into Adalimumab 40 mg eow or Adalimumab 40 mg ew treatment 
regimens in a 1:1 ratio.)
The randomization schedule will be prepared by the Statistics Department of AbbVie.

Subject Information and Consent
The investigator or his/her representative will explain the nature of the study to the subject, 
and answer all questions regarding this study.  Prior to any study-related screening 
procedures being performed on the subject, the informed consent statement will be 
reviewed and signed and dated by the subject, the person who administered the informed 
consent, and any other signatories according to local requirements.  A copy of the 
informed consent form will be given to the subject and the original will be placed in the 
subject's medical record.  An entry must also be made in the subject's dated source 
documents to confirm that informed consent was obtained prior to any study-related 
procedures and that the subject received a signed copy.
Any optional testing will only be performed if the subject has voluntarily given informed 
consent, approved by an IRB/IEC, after the nature of the testing has been explained and 
the subject has had an opportunity to ask questions.  Subject consent must be signed 
before the optional testing is performed.  If the subject does not consent to the optional 
testing, it will not affect the subject's participation in the study.
In the event a subject withdraws consent to participate from the study, stored biomarker 
and optional samples will continue to be used for research and analysis.  In the event that 
a subject would like to withdraw consent for research using these samples, the subject 

Adalimumab
M14-033 Protocol Amendment 3
EudraCT 2013-001682-16
123
may request that their samples not be analyzed.  Once AbbVie receives the request, 
remaining biomarker and/or optional samples will be destroyed.  However, if the subject 
changes his/her consent, and the samples have already been tested, those results will 
remain as part of the overall research data.
Information regarding incentives for subjects and information regarding provisions for 
treating and/or compensating subjects who are harmed as a consequence of participation 
in the study can be found in the informed consent form.

EudraCT 2013-001682-16
124
validation of the study-specific eCRFs will be conducted by AbbVie and will be 
maintained in the Trial Master File at AbbVie.
The investigator will document subject data in his/her own subject files.  These subject 
files will serve as source data for the study.  eCRF data required by this protocol will be 
recorded by investigative site personnel in the EDC system, except for subject-completed 
questionnaires, which will be completed on paper by the subject then transcribed into the 
EDC system.  All data entered into the eCRF will be supported by source documentation.
The investigator or an authorized member of the investigator's staff will make any 
necessary corrections to the eCRF.  All change information, including the date and person 
performing the corrections, will be available via the audit trail, which is part of the EDC 
system.  For any correction, a reason for the alteration will be provided.  The eCRFs will 
be reviewed periodically for completeness, legibility, and acceptability by AbbVie 
personnel (or AbbVie's representatives).  AbbVie (or AbbVie's representatives) will also 
be allowed access to all source documents pertinent to the study in order to verify eCRF 
entries.  The principal investigator will review the eCRFs for completeness and accuracy 
and provide his or her electronic signature and date to eCRFs as evidence thereof.
Medidata will provide access to the EDC system for the duration of the trial through a 
password-protected method of internet access.  Such access will be removed from 
investigator sites at the end of the site's participation in the study.  Data from the EDC 
system will be archived on appropriate data media (CD-ROM, etc.) and provided to the 
investigator at that time as a durable record of the site's eCRF data.  It will be possible for 
the investigator to make paper printouts from that media.

by study personnel.  The completed paper questionnaire will be considered source 
documentation.  
10.3
Electronic Patient Reported Outcomes (ePRO)
Patient reported data must be completed for each subject screened/enrolled in this study.  
Some of these data are being collected with an Electronic Patient Reported Outcome 
(ePRO) tool called Trialmax, provided by the technology vendor CRF Health of Plymouth 
Meeting, PA, USA.  The ePRO system is in compliance with Title 21 CFR Part 11.  The 
documentation related to the system validation of the ePRO tool is available through the 
vendor, CRF Health, while the user acceptance testing of the study-specific ePRO design 
will be conducted and maintained at AbbVie.
The subject will be entering the data into an electronic device, these data will be uploaded 
to a server.  The data on the server will be considered source documentation, and 
maintained and managed by CRF Health.
Internet access to the ePRO data will be provided by CRF Health for the duration of the 
trial.  This access will be available for the duration of the trial to the investigational sites, 
as well as delegated personnel.  Such access will be removed from investigational sites 
following the receipt of the study archive.  Data from the ePRO tool will be archived on 
appropriate data media (CD-ROM, etc.) and provided to the investigational site at that 

Adalimumab
M14-033 Protocol Amendment 3

126
time as a durable record of the site's ePRO data.  It will be possible for the investigational 
site to create paper print-outs from that media. 
The ePRO data (stool frequency, abdominal discomfort, number of bloody stools, fecal 
urgency, use of anti-diarrheals, use of medications used for endoscopy preparation, 
general well-being and dosing information) will be collected electronically via a handheld 
device into which the patient will record the required pieces of information on a daily 
basis.  The electronic device will be programmed to allow for data entry once per day.  All 
data entered on the device will be immediately stored to the device itself and 
manually/automatically uploaded to a central server administrated by CRF Health.  The 
investigational site staff will be able to access all uploaded subject entered data via a 
password protected website, until the generation, receipt and confirmation of the study 
archive.  The subject's dosing information will be used as confirmation for the site and site 
staff will need to add the information to the appropriate eCRF.  To calculate the Partial 
Mayo score, the site will be able to use the subscores from ePRO to manually enter into 
the eCRF.
10.4
Data Collection Process
AbbVie is using an Electronic Patient Reported Outcome (ePRO) tool to capture portions 
of the clinical data defined in this protocol.  The use of ePRO requires certain process 
changes compared to the use of traditional paper PROs.  Trial-Specific Guidelines 
(T-SGs) have been developed to document the changes from the traditional paper PRO 
process.  These T-SGs govern the ePRO processes in this trial.

subscore.
The Partial Mayo Score is a composite of the following subscores:  Stool Frequency 
subscore, Rectal Bleeding subscore, and Physician's Global Assessment subscore.
Stool Frequency Subscore
The stool frequency subscore is calculated by comparing the stool frequency to a 
reference number.  The reference number is the number of stools per day (24 hours) that is 
typical for the subject when having active UC but not experiencing a flare and needs to be 
designated once prior to enrollment.  The reference number should represent a full 
number of at least 1.
Subjects will record the daily number of stools throughout the trial.  Using these numbers, 
the Stool Frequency subscore will be assessed for each study day as follows: 
A number of bowel movements lower than or equal to the reference number of bowel 
movements should be scored as 0 = Normal.
One or 2 bowel movements more than the reference number of bowel movements should 
be scored as 1.
Three or 4 bowel movements more than the reference number of bowel 
movements should be scored as 2.
Five or more bowel movements more than the reference number of bowel 
movements should be scored as 3.
The Stool Frequency subscores based on 5 days prior to each study visit will be averaged 
and used for the Stool Frequency subscore for each study visit.

EudraCT 2013-001682-16
137
The Stool Frequency subscore during days which the subject received anti-diarrheal 
medication will be scored as a 3.
Diary entries for stool frequency should not be included in the 5 days prior to the visit that 
are evaluated for the Stool Frequency subscore for the following days:  (1) the day the 
subject received medication for bowel preparation prior to endoscopy, (2) the day the 
subject underwent an endoscopy, and (3) 2 days following the endoscopy.  Earlier diary 
entries will be used accordingly in order to provide the most recent data for 5 days prior to 
the respective study visit.
Rectal Bleeding Subscore
Subjects will be assigned a daily rectal bleeding subscore value as follows:
No visible blood with stool during the respective day should be scored as 0.
Visible blood with stool less than half the time during the respective day should be 
scored as 1.
Visible blood with stool at least half the time during the respective day should be 
scored as 2.
A score of 3 for bleeding requires subjects to have at least 50% of bowel 
movements accompanied by visible blood and at least one bowel movement with 
blood alone.
The score entries into subject's diary based on 5 days prior to each study visit will be 
averaged and used for the Rectal Bleeding subscore for each study visit.  
Diary entries for rectal bleeding should not be included in the 5 days prior to the visit that 
are evaluated for the Rectal Bleeding  subscore for the following days:  (1) the day the 
subject received medication for bowel preparation prior to endoscopy, (2) the day the 
subject underwent an endoscopy, and (3) 2 days following the endoscopy.  Earlier diary 

Adalimumab
M14-033 Protocol Amendment 3
EudraCT 2013-001682-16
138
entries will be used accordingly in order to provide the most recent data for 5 days prior to 
the respective study visit.
Physician's Global Assessment Subscore
The physician's global assessment acknowledges the 2 subject-reported subscores, the 
endoscopy subscore as applicable, the subject's daily record of abdominal discomfort and 
general well-being during based on the 5 days prior to the visit, and other observations 
such as physical findings, and the subject's performance status in order to assess disease 
activity as follows:
0 = Normal
1 = Mild disease
2 = Moderate disease
3 = Severe disease
Endoscopy Subscore
The endoscopist should evaluate each observed segment of the colon (rectum, sigmoid, 
descending colon, transverse colon, ascending colon/cecum) by using the classification as 
follows:
0 = Normal or inactive disease
1 = Mild disease (erythema, decreased vascular pattern, mild friability)
2 = Moderate disease (marked erythema, absent vascular pattern, friability, 
erosions)
3 = Severe disease (spontaneous bleeding, ulceration)
The endoscopic subscore for the subject will be the worst score of the observed segments.

Adalimumab

139
The local endoscopist should also separately assess presence or absence of friability 
(yes/no).
The endoscopy will be recorded (not a still image) and will undergo a central review
process for endoscopy subscore assessment.

Adalimumab
M14-033 Protocol Amendment 3
EudraCT 2013-001682-16
146
If you do not have all of the items you need to give yourself an injection, call your study 
physician.  Use only the items provided in the box your adalimumab comes in.
●
Make sure the liquid in the prefilled syringe is clear and colorless.  Do not use 
a prefilled syringe if the liquid is cloudy or discolored or has flakes or particles 
in it.
●
Have a special sharps (puncture proof) container nearby for disposing of used 
needles and syringes.
For your protection, it is important that you follow these instructions.
2. Choosing and preparing an injection site
●
Wash your hands well.
●
Choose a site on the front of your thighs or your stomach area (abdomen).  If 
you choose your abdomen, you should avoid the area 2 inches around your 
belly button (navel).
●
Choose a different site each time you give yourself an injection.  Each new 
injection should be given at least one inch from a site you used before.  Never 
inject into areas where the skin is tender, bruised, red or hard or where you 
have scars or stretch marks.
●
If you have psoriasis, you should try not to inject directly into any raised, thick, 
red or scaly skin patches or lesions.

Adalimumab
M14-033 Protocol Amendment 3
EudraCT 2013-001682-16
147
●
You may find it helpful to keep notes on the location of your injection sites.
●
Wipe the site where adalimumab is to be injected with an alcohol prep (swab), 
using a circular motion.  Do not touch this area again until you are ready to 
inject.
3. How to prepare your adalimumab dose for injection with a Prefilled Syringe
●
Hold the syringe upright with the needle facing down.  Check to make sure 
that the amount of liquid in the syringe is the same or close to the 0.8 mL line 
for the 40 mg prefilled syringe.  The top of the liquid may be curved.  If the 
syringe does not have the correct amount of liquid, do not use that syringe.  
Call your study doctor.
●
Remove the needle cover taking care not to touch the needle with your fingers 
or allow it to touch any surface.
●
Turn the syringe so the needle is facing up and slowly push the plunger in to 
push the air in the syringe out through the needle.  If a small drop of liquid 
comes out of the needle that is okay.
●
Do not shake the syringe.
4. Injecting Adalimumab
●
With your other hand, gently squeeze an area of the cleaned area of skin and 
hold it firmly.
●
You will inject into this raised area of skin.  Hold the syringe like a pencil at 
about a 45° angle (see picture) to the skin.
●
With a quick, short, "dart-like" motion, push the needle into the skin.
●
After the needle is in, let go of the skin.  Pull back slightly on the plunger.  If 
blood appears in the syringe it means that you have entered a blood vessel.  Do 
not inject adalimumab.  Pull the needle out of the skin and repeat the steps to 
choose and clean a new injection site.  Do not use the same syringe.  Dispose 
of it in your special sharps container.  If no blood appears, slowly push the 
plunger all the way in until all of the adalimumab is injected.
●
When the syringe is empty, remove the needle from the skin keeping it at the 
same angle it was when it was pushed into the skin.

●
Press a cotton ball or gauze pad over the injection site and hold it for 
10 seconds.  Do not rub the injection site.  You may have slight bleeding.  This 
is normal.
●
Dispose of the syringe right away into your special sharps container.

Guidelines to Evaluate Loss of Response and Intolerance to 
Infliximab
To enroll in this study, subjects who have previously been exposed to infliximab must 
meet one of the two conditions defined below.
Loss of Response
The investigator judges the subject to have responded to infliximab in the past and 
demonstrated a loss of response after a full and adequate course of infliximab based on the 
investigator's assessment.
Intolerance to Infliximab
A subject is defined as intolerant when, in the opinion of the investigator, therapy was 
discontinued as a result of a significant acute or delayed infusion/administration reaction 
to the medication.

Japan Sub-Study
There will be a Japan sub-study that includes only Japanese subjects enrolled from sites in 
Japan.  The subjects enrolled under the Japan sub-study will not be included in the 
primary analyses of the main study nor used for regulatory applications outside of Japan.  
The Japan sub-study will, however, allow the integration of clinical data obtained from all 
other subjects in the main study to support a future regulatory application in Japan.
The main study is to be followed for the Japan sub-study except where indicated as 
outlined below.
4.0
Study Objective of Japan Sub-Study
The study objective is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of higher induction and 
maintenance dosing regimens in subjects with moderately to severely active ulcerative 
colitis and to show the consistency of efficacy between Japanese population and 
integrated population of Japanese and western subjects.
5.0
Investigational Plan of Japan Sub-Study
5.1
Overall Study Design and Plan: Description
The primary analysis for the Japan sub-study during the Induction Study will be an 
analysis of subjects achieving clinical remission (per Full Mayo Score) at Week 8.  The 
primary analysis for the Japan sub-study during the Maintenance Study will be an analysis 
of subjects is the proportion of Week 8 responders achieving clinical remission (per Full 
Mayo score) at Week 52.
The analysis will include approximately 100 subjects (60 in the higher induction dose 
regimen and 40 in the standard induction dose regimen) from 21 Japanese sites and 
approximately 840 subjects from all other sites in the main study.

44-Week Double-Blind Maintenance Study
The TDM regimen in the maintenance period will not be applied to the Japan sub-study 
because of logistical challenges in obtaining adalimumab serum concentration results 
within the time period specified in the main study.  At the conclusion of the 8-Week 
Double-Blind Induction Study, subjects will return to the study site and will be re 
randomized using the same stratification variables as the main study via IRT into the 
44-Week Double-Blind Maintenance Study to one of two treatment groups in a 1:1 ratio 
with the same stratification from the main study:
●

result in a low failure rate (i.e., less than 1% per year) when used consistently and 
correctly are (see local informed consent for more detail):
●
Implants, injectables, some intrauterine devices (IUDs), intrauterine 
hormone-releasing system (IUS);
●

Rationale for the Difference from Main Study:
The lower doses of azathioprine and 6-MP are recommended for Japanese IBD patients 
because of the difference of TPMT activity between Japanese and western IBD patients.  
The 6-TGN (active metabolite of azathioprine and 6-MP) concentration in Japanese 
patients with IBD on the specified doses of azathioprine and 6-MP therapy is considered 
to be comparable to those reported from Western countries.

Study Activities (Continued)
d.
Subjects will undergo an endoscopy (colonoscopy or flexible sigmoidoscopy) with biopsy for histologic assessment during Screening, at Week 8 and at Week 52/PD (for 
subjects who remain in the study through at least Week 24).  A full colonoscopy will be performed at Screening unless the subject underwent a full colonoscopy within 12 
months prior to Screening and appropriate documentation is available (to confirm the diagnosis and extent of disease and no evidence of dysplasia and colon cancer).  In this 
case, the screening endoscopy may be either a full colonoscopy or a flexible sigmoidoscopy.  Appropriate documentation of biopsy results consistent with the diagnosis of UC, 
in the assessment of the Investigator, must be available in order to confirm the subject's eligibility for the study.  If this documentation is not available a diagnostic biopsy 
from the most affected observed area of the colon must be performed during the Screening endoscopy and evaluated by a qualified local pathologist and the results reviewed 
by the Investigator.  Biopsies to rule out dysplasia and colon cancer may be taken during any study endoscopy per the Investigator's discretion and evaluated by the local 
pathologist.  The Week 8 and Week 52/PD endoscopies may be either full colonoscopies or flexible sigmoidoscopies.  During allendoscopies, 2 biopsies for histologic 
evaluation by a central laboratory will be taken from each observed colonic segment (see Section 5.3.1.1 for details about biopsy sampling).
e.
Physical examinations performed at Screening, Week 8 and Week 52/PD Visits are full physical examinations which must include an assessment of extra-intestinal 
manifestations (EIMs).  Physical exams performed at all other visits are symptom-based.
f.
Subjects with negative latent TB test(s) (In cases where a subject received both a PPD test and IGRA, both must be negative) within 90 days of Screening will not require a 
repeat latent TB test, if documentation is available.  PPD skin test is to be read 48 to 72 hours after placement.
g.
Chest x-ray includes posterior-anterior [PA] and lateral views. Subjects with normal chest x-ray within 3 months of Screening will not require a repeat chest x-ray, if 
documentation is available.
h.
Subjects with normal ECG within 90 days of Screening will not require a repeat ECG, if documentation is available.
i.
Laboratory assessments will only need to be repeated at Baseline if the time between Screening and Baseline is greater than 14 days, or if the subject's health status has 
changed to warrant a repeat test.
j.
Dipstick urinalysis will be completed by the sites at all required visits.  A microscopic analysis will be performed by the central laboratory, in the event the dipstick results 
show protein, ketones or blood greater than negative or glucose greater than normal.  Further explanations of these tests areprovided in the Laboratory Manual.
k.
A serum pregnancy test will be performed on all women of childbearing potential at Screening.  Urine pregnancy test will be performed at Baseline Visit, and at the Week 
52/PD for all women of child bearing potential.  The frequency can be increased up to every visit as per local regulations.  If any urine pregnancy test is positive, a serum 
pregnancy test will be performed by the central laboratory.
l.
Subjects will be tested for the presence of the Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) at Screening.  A positive result for the Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBs Ag) will be exclusionary.  
Please refer to Section 5.3.1.1 in the Hepatitis B testing section for details on testing requirements.  If required by country regulatory authorities to confirm eligibility, subjects 
will be tested for HIV and documented that the test has been performed.  This testing is to be done at a local laboratory.  A subject will not be eligible for study participation if 
test results indicate a positive HIV infection.  AbbVie will not receive results from the testing and not be made aware of any positive result.

m.
If a sample cannot be obtained during the site visit, the site will give instructions and a stool sample supply kit (supplieswill be provided at the time-points indicated).  The 
stool from which these samples are prepared should be scored using the Bristol stool chart by the site.  All stool samples for metagenomic analysis should be collected before 
any bowel preparation for endoscopy is started and should be returned to the site within 3 days of collection.  Note:  The Screening stool sample may be taken anytime during 
the Screening period but should be collected prior to any bowel prep.  Remaining sample will be stored for potential researchtesting.
n.
Anti-dsDNA performed if ANA result is positive.
o.
Blood samples for the measurement of adalimumab, AAA concentrations, serologic markers and mRNA will be collected prior to dosing.  Note:  Testing of the adalimumab 
and AAA concentrations must not be performed locally.  All pharmacokinetic results will remain blinded to the Investigator, study site personnel, and the subject throughout 
the study.
p.
Verify subject has signed consent for optional pharmacogenetic sample prior to the sample drawn.  If the sample is not collected at Baseline, preferably it should be collected 
at the next study visit.
q.
Subjects will begin the corticosteroid taper at Week 4.  If the Investigator feels that the steroid taper is not advisable for a particular subject at Week 4, the SDP should be 
consulted for evaluation and approval.
r.
Collection of Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) begins the day the subject signs the informed consent.
s.
Subjects will be dispensed the subject diary at Screening and will be trained on how to complete the diary by site staff during the Screening visit.  All subjects should 
complete their subject diary on a daily basis throughout the entire study, including during hospitalizations whenever possible.  The diary will be reviewed by site personnel 
with the subject at each visit and collected at the Final/PD visit.
t.
Administration of drug will be performed after all assessments and examinations scheduled for that day have been completed.
u.
Subjects will be contacted 70 days following study drug discontinuation for an assessment of any new or ongoing AEs, except those subjects who continue on adalimumab 
therapy after the end of study participation.
v.
Visits for dispensing new study drug in case of temperature excursion, loss or damage are not considered an Unscheduled Visit.  In addition, visits to retest a lab will not be 
considered an Unscheduled Visit.  Unscheduled Visits according to this table are for purposes when the subject is coming in for a visit for evaluation and assessment of 
ulcerative colitis.

Collection of Samples for Adalimumab and AAA Assays
Blood samples for adalimumab and AAA assays will be collected by venipuncture into 
appropriately labeled 4-mL evacuated serum collection tubes (one tube for adalimumab 
and one tube for AAA) without gel separator immediately prior to dosing.  Sufficient 
blood will be collected to provide approximately 2 mL serum for adalimumab assay and 
2 mL serum for AAA assay.  Please refer to the laboratory manual for instructions.
A maximum of 22 samples (not including unscheduled visit sample collections) are 
planned in Japan to be collected per subject for adalimumab (15 samples) and AAA 
(7 samples) assays.  The total number of samples planned (not including unscheduled visit 
sample collections) will not exceed 1,500 (15 samples × 100 subjects) for the adalimumab 
assay and 700 (7 samples × 100 subjects) for the AAA assay for the sub-study.
Collection of Samples for Infliximab and HACA Assays
Blood samples for infliximab and HACA assay will be collected at Week 0 (Baseline) by 
venipuncture into appropriately labeled 4-mL evacuated serum collection tube without gel 
separator at Baseline.  The sample will be obtained immediately prior to dosing.  
Sufficient blood will be collected to provide approximately two 1 mL serum specimens 
(one tube for infliximab and one tube for HACA).  Please refer to the laboratory manual 
for instructions.
The total number of samples planned for Japan will not exceed 200 (2 samples × 
100 subjects) for the sub-study.

At Baseline (Week 0), subjects will be randomized 3:2 to one of two double-blind 
adalimumab induction regimens.

Adalimumab
M14-033 Protocol Amendment 3
EudraCT 2013-001682-16
195
Subjects assigned to the standard induction regimen will receive adalimumab 160 mg 
(4 syringes) at Baseline (Week 0) and matching placebo (4 syringes) at Week 1.  At 
Week 2, subjects will receive 80 mg (2 syringes) and matching placebo (2 syringes).  At 
Week 3, subjects will receive matching placebo (4 syringes) and at Weeks 4 and 6, 
subjects will receive a dosing regimen of 40 mg (1 syringe).
Subjects assigned to the higher induction regimen will receive 160 mg (4 syringes) at 
Weeks 0, 1, 2, and 3 followed by 40 mg (1 syringe) at Weeks 4 and 6.
Double-Blind Maintenance Study
At Week 8, subjects will be re-randomized to receive 1 of 2 double-blind adalimumab 
treatment maintenance regimens in a 1:1 ratio.  
Subjects assigned to the adalimumab 40 mg eow regimen will receive 40 mg (1 syringe) 
at Weeks 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32, 34, 36, 38, 40, 42, 44, 46, 48 and 
50.  Matching Placebo (1 syringe) will be administered at Weeks 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 
23, 25, 27, 29, 31, 33, 35, 37, 39, 41, 43, 45, 47, 49, 51.  No dose will be administered at 
Week 52/Premature Discontinuation.
Subjects assigned to the adalimumab 40 mg ew regimen will receive 40 mg (1 syringe) at 
Weeks 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30,

dose will be administered at Week 52/Premature Discontinuation.
5.5.3
Method of Assigning Subjects to Treatment Regimens
All subjects will be assigned a unique identification number by the IRT at the screening 
study visit.  Subjects who meet the entry criteria in Section 5.2.1 and Section 5.2.2 will 
proceed to be enrolled into the study.  Subjects who enter the study will be randomized at 
Week 0 in a 3:2 ratio into the criteria-driven regimens using the IRT, which will assign a 
randomization number according to the randomization scheme, generated by AbbVie 
before the start of the study.  The randomization will be stratified by previous infliximab 

Adalimumab
M14-033 Protocol Amendment 3
EudraCT 2013-001682-16
196
use and Baseline corticosteroid use.  The criteria-driven regimen assignment will be 
maintained by the IRT.  Subjects will be referred to by the subject number assigned at 
Screening.
Subjects will return to the study site and will be re-randomized via IRT into the 44-Week 
Double-Blind Maintenance Study at the conclusion of the Week 8 Visit to one of 
two treatment regimens in a 1:1 ratio.  Subjects will be re-stratified by:  induction 
treatment regimen and response status (per Full Mayo Score) at Week 8.  Among Week 8 
responders, the randomization will be further stratified by remission status (per Full Mayo 
Score) at Week 8.
The sites will be provided with appropriate kit number(s) for drug-dispensing purpose for 
each subject by the IRT.  Before the study is initiated, the directions for the IRT will be 
provided to each site.  Study drug will be dispensed/administered at the study visits 
summarized in Table 2.
6.1.5
Adverse Event Reporting
In the event of a serious adverse event, and additionally, any non-serious event of 
malignancy in subjects 30 years of age and younger, whether related to study drug or not, 
the investigator will notify the AbbVie Clinical Pharmacovigilance within 24 hours of the 
site being made aware of the event by entering the SAE or non-serious event of 
malignancy in subjects 30 years of age and younger data into the electronic data capture 
(EDC) system.  Serious adverse events and non-serious events of malignancy in subjects 
30 years of age and younger, that occur prior to the site having access to the RAVE®
system or if RAVE® is not operable, should be documented on the SAE Non-case report 
forms (CRF) and emailed (preferred route) or faxed to Clinical Pharmacovigilance within 
24 hours of the site being made aware of the serious adverse event.

Statistical Methods and Determination of Sample 
Size
8.1
Statistical and Analytical Plans
The objectives of the statistical analyses of the Japan sub-study are to evaluate the 
efficacy and safety of adalimumab for the induction and maintenance of clinical remission 
in subjects with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis in the Japanese sites and 
all sites from both the main study and the Japan sub-study. Efficacy analysis will be 

Adalimumab
M14-033 Protocol Amendment 3
EudraCT 2013-001682-16
200
performed in the integrated Intent to Treat (ITT1) set and the Japan ITT1 set. The safety 
analysis will be conducted in the integrated Safety set and the Japan Safety set, using the 
population defined in Section 8.1.1.  A separate detailed statistical analysis plan (SAP) 
will be completed prior to database lock of the main study and the Japan sub-study.
8.1.1
Analysis Population
The integrated ITT1 (I-ITT1) dataset includes all randomized subjects (at both Japanese 
sites and all other sites in the main study).  The Japan ITT1 (J-ITT1) dataset includes all 
subjects who were randomized at Japanese sites only and will be used for efficacy 
analyses of Japanese subjects separately from other subjects in the main study.  The 
integrated Intent to-Treat maintenance (I-ITT2) population includes all subjects (at both 
Japanese sites and all other sites in the main study) who are re randomized to 40 mg eow 
group and 40 mg ew group at Week 8 (subjects who are re-randomized to TDM group 
will not be included).  The I-ITT2 subjects will be analyzed as randomized.  The I-ITT2 is 
the primary population for the efficacy analysis at Week 52 during the maintenance study.
The J-ITT2 dataset includes all subjects who were re-randomized at Week 8 at Japanese 
sites only and will be used for maintenance efficacy analyses of Japanese subjects 
separately from other subjects in the main study.
The integrated Safety set consists of all subjects (from both Japanese sites and those sites 
following the parent protocol) who received at least one dose of study medication.  The 
Japan Safety set consists of all randomized subjects from Japanese sites who received at 
least one dose of study medication.
8.1.3
Demographics and Baseline Characteristics
Demographics and Baseline characteristics of the study subjects will be summarized 
similarly as the main study for each treatment group using descriptive statistics in both the 
I-ITT1 dataset and the J-ITT1 dataset.  The p-value will be provided to assess the 
comparability of the treatment groups assigned by randomization.  Continuous variables 

Adalimumab
M14-033 Protocol Amendment 3
EudraCT 2013-001682-16

will be analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and discrete variables will be 
analyzed using chi-square test or Fisher's exact test.
8.1.4
Statistical Analysis of Efficacy
8.1.4.1
Primary Efficacy Variables
The primary efficacy endpoint for the Induction Study is:
Proportion of subjects achieving clinical remission (defined as a Full Mayo score ≤ 2 with 
no subscore > 1) at Week 8.
The primary efficacy endpoint for the Maintenance Study is:
Proportion of Week 8 responders (per Full Mayo score, defined as a decrease in Full 
Mayo score of ≥ 3 points and ≥ 30% from Baseline Plus a decrease in the rectal bleeding 
subscore [RBS] ≥ 1 or an absolute RBS of 0 or 1) achieving clinical remission (per Full 
Mayo score) at Week 52.
The primary endpoint for the Induction Study will be analyzed similarly as the main study 
using the I-ITT1 and J-ITT1 sets.  The difference between the treatment groups in the 
proportion of subjects achieving clinical remission at Week 8 will be assessed using 
Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel (CMH) test adjusted for previous infliximab use and Baseline 
corticosteroid use at Baseline.  A CMH based two-sided 95% confidence interval for the 
difference between treatment groups will be calculated.  Breslow-Day test for 
homogeneity of odds ratios will be performed as well.  Subjects with missing primary 
endpoint data at Week 8 will be classified as "no clinical remission" (non-responder 
imputation [NRI] method).  Subjects with missing Mayo score data for Week 8 will also 
be classified as Week 8 non-responders.
As sensitivity analyses, logistic regression including treatment, the randomization 
stratification factors and additional clinically important factors such as 
Immunosuppressant use at Baseline, Baseline hs-CRP, and disease severity at Baseline 
will also be performed for the primary endpoint for the Induction Study.

Adalimumab
M14-033 Protocol Amendment 3
EudraCT 2013-001682-16
202
For primary analysis of the Maintenance Study will compare the Week 8 responders (per 
Full Mayo Score) in the eow regimen versus the subjects in the ew regimen in the I-ITT2 
and J-ITT2 analysis sets.  The difference between the treatment regimen in the proportion 
of subjects achieving clinical remission at Week 52 will be assessed using Cochran-
Mantel-Haenszel (CMH) test adjusted for Induction treatment regimen and the remitter 
status (per Full Mayo Score) at Week 8.  A CMH based two-sided 95% confidence 
interval for the difference between treatment groups will be calculated.  Breslow-Day test 
for homogeneity of odds ratios will be performed as well.  Subjects with missing primary 
endpoint data at Week 52 will be classified as "no clinical remission" (non-responder 
imputation [NRI] method) for the Week 52 endpoint.  Subjects with missing Mayo score 
data for Week 52 will also be classified as Week 52 non-responders.
8.1.4.2
Secondary Efficacy Variables
The analysis for secondary efficacy variables will be performed similarly as the main 
study using the I-ITT1 set and the J-ITT1 set for Induction Study endpoints at Week 8, or 
the I-ITT2 set and the J-ITT2 set for Maintenance Study endpoints at Week 52, where 
appropriate.
8.1.5
Statistical Analysis of Safety
Adverse events (AEs), laboratory data and vital signs are the primary safety parameters in 
this study and will be analyzed similarly as the main study for the integrated Safety set 
and the Japan Safety set.
8.1.7
Interim Analyses
An interim analysis of the primary endpoint and ranked secondary efficacy variables for 
Week 8 only as well as safety data collected from Baseline through double-blind Week 8 
will be performed only if performed for the main study.

8.2
Determination of Sample Size of Japan Sub-study
Section 8.2 of the main study outlines the rationale for the sample size of 840 subjects.  
An additional 100 subjects has been determined as the proper sample size for the Japan 
sub-study based on the following rationale.
Using the same assumptions as the main study with the following:
●
Remission rate for induction treatment at 8 weeks:  35% in the high dose group 
and 20% in the standard dose group
●
Remission rate for maintenance treatment at 52 weeks among Week 8 
responders:  48% in the high dose group and 30% in the standard dose group
●
Overall response rate for induction treatment at Week 8:  50%
●
α = 5%, power = 95% for induction study
●
α = 5%, power = 90% for maintenance study
The precisions of point estimations of remission rates in Japanese population are included 
within the 95% CI of remission rates in integrated population will be within 20% with 
100 subjects.  With this sample size, the probability to show consistency between 
Japanese population and integrated population will be greater than 80% using the 
method 2 shown in the "Basic principles on global clinical trials."15
8.3
Randomization Methods
At Baseline, subjects will be randomized 3:2 to one of two double-blinded adalimumab 
induction regimens (higher dose or standard dose).  The randomization will be stratified 
by previous infliximab use and Baseline corticosteroid use.  At the conclusion of the 
8-week Induction Study, all subjects will be re-randomized into the 44-week Maintenance 
Study.  Re-randomization will be stratified by induction treatment regimen, and response 
status (per Full Mayo Score utilizing the Week 8 endoscopy subscore provided by the 
site) at Week 8.  Among Week 8 responders, the randomization will be further stratified 
by remission status (per Full Mayo Score utilizing the Week 8 endoscopy subscore 

Adalimumab

provided by the site) at Week 8.  All subjects will be randomized into one of two blinded 
treatment regimens in a 1:1 ratio:
●
Adalimumab 40 mg eow
●
Adalimumab 40 mg ew
The randomization schedules will be prepared separately for the Japan sub-study by the 
Statistics Department of AbbVie.

Subject Information and Consent
The investigator or his/her representative will explain the nature of the study to the subject, 
and answer all questions regarding this study.  Prior to any study-related screening 
procedures being performed on the subject, the informed consent statement will be 
reviewed and signed and dated by the subject, the person who administered the informed 
consent, and any other signatories according to local requirements.  If the subject is 
< 20 years old, a subject's parent or legal guardian must be explained and willing to give 
written informed consent.  A copy of the informed consent form will be given to the 
subject and the original will be placed in the subject's medical record.  An entry must also 
be made in the subject's dated source documents to confirm that informed consent was 
obtained prior to any study-related procedures and that the subject received a signed copy.
In the event a subject withdraws consent to participate from the study, stored biomarker 
and optional samples will continue to be used for research and analysis.  In the event that 
a subject would like to withdraw consent for research using these samples, the subject 
may request that their samples be withdrawn.  Once AbbVie receives the request, 
remaining biomarker and/or optional samples will be destroyed.  However, if the subject 
changes his/her consent, and the samples have already been tested, those results will still 
remain as part of the overall research data.
Information regarding incentives for subjects and information regarding provisions for 
treating and/or compensating subjects who are harmed as a consequence of participation 
in the study can be found in the informed consent form.

Section 1.2  Synopsis
Previously read:
AbbVie Inc.
Protocol Number:  M14-033
Name of Study Drug:  Adalimumab
Phase of Development:  3
Name of Active Ingredient:  Adalimumab
Date of Protocol Synopsis:  03 December 2015
Protocol Title:  A Double-Blind, Randomized, Multicenter Study of Higher Versus Standard 
Adalimumab Dosing Regimens for Induction and Maintenance Therapy in Subjects with Moderately to 
Severely Active Ulcerative Colitis
Objective:  The primary objective is to evaluate safety and efficacy of higher induction and maintenance 
dosing regimens in subjects with moderately to severely active Ulcerative Colitis (UC).
Investigators:  Multicenter Trial (Investigator information on file at AbbVie).
Study Sites:  Approximately 125 sites for the main study and approximately 21 sites for the Japan 
sub-study.
Study Population:  Male and female subjects ≥ 18 and ≤ 75 years of age with a diagnosis of moderately 
to severely active UC (up to 25% infliximab-experienced).
Number of Subjects to be Enrolled:  For the main study, approximately 525 subjects (315 in the higher 
induction dose regimen and 210 in the standard induction dose regimen) will be enrolled at 
approximately 125 sites worldwide.  There also will be 80 Japanese subjects (48 in the higher induction 
dose regimen and 32 in the standard induction dose regimen) in a Japan sub-study to be enrolled at 
21 Japan sites.  In both the main study and Japan sub-study, up to 25% of subjects with previous 
infliximab exposure may be enrolled.
Methodology:
This Phase 3 study design includes a Screening Period, an 8-Week Double-Blind Induction Period and a 
44-Week Double-Blind Maintenance Period.
Subjects will have moderately to severely active UC as defined by a Mayo Score of 6 to 12 points with 
an endoscopy subscore of 2 or 3, confirmed by a central reader.  Subjects who meet all of the inclusion 
criteria and none of the exclusion criteria will be enrolled into the 8-week Induction Period.  For all 
Mayo Score evaluations throughout the study, the stool frequency and the rectal bleeding subscores will 
be calculated based on entries recorded into the subject's diary based on 5 days prior to each study visit.  
During the Induction Period, subjects will be randomized at Baseline to one of 2 double-blinded 
adalimumab induction regimens (higher dose or standard dose) in a 3:2 ratio, as shown in the following 
figure.  Use of the 3:2 randomization scheme allows for collection of additional safety data with the 
higher induction dose regimen.  The randomization will be stratified by previous infliximab use and 
Baseline corticosteroid use.

M14-033 Protocol Amendment 3
EudraCT 2013-001682-16
211
Methodology (Continued):
8-Week Double-Blind Induction Period
The higher induction dose regimen of 160 mg at Weeks 0, 1, 2, and 3, followed by 40 mg at Weeks 4 
and 6 leads to a total adalimumab dose over 8 weeks that is approximately twice that of the standard 
induction dose regimen (720 mg versus 320 mg).  The higher induction dose regimen was designed for 
rapid attainment of higher adalimumab serum concentrations in order to rapidly control inflammation.  
Pre-dosing serum samples for infliximab concentration and human antichimeric antibodies (HACAs) 
will be collected at Week 0.  Pre-dosing serum samples for adalimumab drug levels will be collected at 
Weeks 0, 2, 4, and 8.  Pre-dosing serum samples for anti-adalimumab antibodies will be collected at 
Weeks 0, 4, and 8.
At Week 4, all subjects who are on oral steroids will have their steroid dose tapered according to the 
proposed tapering schedule outlined in the protocol.  If the Investigator feels that the steroid taper is not 
advisable for a particular subject at Week 4, the Study Designated Physician (SDP) should be consulted 
for evaluation and approval.
At the conclusion of the 8-Week Induction Period, all subjects will be re-randomized into the 44-week 
Maintenance Period.  Re-randomization will be stratified by induction treatment regimen and response 
status (per Full Mayo Score) at Week 8.  Among the responders at Week 8, the randomization will be 
further stratified by remission status (per Full Mayo score) at Week 8.  All subjects in the main study 
will be randomized into one of three blinded treatment arms in a 2:2:1 ratio:

Adalimumab 40 mg every other week (eow)

Adalimumab 40 mg every week (ew)

Adalimumab Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (TDM) regimen (exploratory arm)*
*
1) All subjects in the TDM arm will receive 40 mg eow at Week 8 and Week 10.  At Weeks 12, 24, 
and 37, the regimen will be adjusted for subjects meeting the dose adjustment criteria (see table 
below) based on blinded serum concentrations at the prior visit (Weeks 10, 22 and 35, respectively) 
and rectal bleeding subscore at the prior and current visits as follows:

Subjects receiving 40 mg eow who meet the dose adjustment criteria will escalate to 40 mg 
weekly.

Subjects receiving 40 mg ew who meet the dose adjustment criteria will receive a one-time dose 
of 160 mg at the visit, and resume 40 mg ew starting the following week.

Adalimumab
M14-033 Protocol Amendment 3
EudraCT 2013-001682-16
212
Methodology (Continued):
2) Japan sub-study does not have TDM arm.  Subjects will be randomized into Adalimumab 40 mg 
eow arm or Adalimumab 40 mg ew arm in a 1:1 ratio.
During the maintenance period, pre-dosing serum samples for adalimumab drug levels will be collected 
in all subjects at Weeks 10, 12, 16, 22, 24, 29, 35, 37, 42, 48, 52/Premature Discontinuation (PD), and 
unscheduled visits.  Pre-dosing serum samples for anti-adalimumab antibodies will be collected at 
Weeks 12, 24, 37, 52/PD, and unscheduled visits.
The goal of the TDM regimen is to attain serum adalimumab levels within a targeted concentration range 
(selected based on exposure-response analyses from Study M06-827) while avoiding excessively high 
concentrations.  During maintenance therapy in Study M06-827, concentrations ranged from 0 to 
39.3 µg/mL with eow dosing and 0 to 38.0 µg/mL with ew dosing.  The lower bound (10 µg/mL) of the 
targeted concentration range for the TDM regimen is similar to the median concentrations observed over 
time for the subjects in remission at Week 52 of Study M06-827 (11.4, 10.6, and 10.8 µg/mL, for 
Weeks 8, 32, and 52, respectively).  Use of this concentration as the minimum threshold to trigger dose 
escalation will lead to the majority of subjects achieving concentrations greater than 10 µg/mL.  Since 
serum adalimumab concentrations roughly double with a doubling of dose, an upper bound of 20 µg/mL 
is expected to achieve maximal trough concentrations in the range of the highest trough concentrations 
observed in Study M06-827.  It is expected that approximately 60% of subjects in the TDM arm will 
escalate to ew dosing and 15% or fewer will receive reinduction using this concentration range plus the 
Rectal Bleeding Subscore (RBS) criteria outlined in the table below as a guide to adjust adalimumab 
dosing.

of 160 mg at the visit and resume 40 mg ew 1 week later.
Note:
There will be no allowance for dose adjustment in the adalimumab eow or ew dosing arms.

Methodology (Continued)
Study visits for clinical and safety assessments will be performed at Baseline (Week 0), Weeks 1, 2, 4, 8, 
10, 12, 16, 22, 24, 29, 35, 37, 42, 48, and 52/PD.  All subjects will be provided with a Subject Diary 
where they will record ulcerative colitis-related symptoms (daily stool frequency, abdominal discomfort, 
number of bloody stools, fecal urgency, and general well-being), use of anti-diarrheals, use of 
medications for endoscopy preparation, and study drug dosing information throughout the study.  Blood 
samples will be collected for hs-CRP, adalimumab serum concentrations, anti-adalimumab antibody 
(AAA) levels, and other biomarker analyses.  In addition, stool samples for calprotectin and microbiota 
metagenomic analyses will be collected.  The stool samples should be taken before starting bowel 
preparations for endoscopy.  Subjects will undergo an endoscopy (colonoscopy or flexible 
sigmoidoscopy) with biopsy for histologic assessment during Screening, at Week 8 and at Week 52/PD 
(for subjects who remain in the study through at least Week 24) with local investigator assessment for 
Mayo endoscopic subscore confirmed by a central reader.  The central reviewer scoring will be used for 
all efficacy assessments.  The endoscopy subscore result from the central reviewer during the screening 
period will be used to evaluate the eligibility of a subject to enroll in the study.
Subjects who consent to participate in the optional pharmacogenetic (PG) analysis should have an 
additional blood sample drawn at Baseline and at Week 52/PD.
Subjects will be discontinued from the study if they withdraw consent or if they are deemed unsuitable 
to continue for any reason by the Investigator.  Subjects experiencing an active infection or those for 
whom the investigator feels dose escalation is not advisable should contact the Study Designated 
Physician.
Throughout the study, subjects will only be allowed to change the dosage of UC-specific concomitant 
medications as specified below:

At Week 4, subjects who are taking corticosteroid therapy at Baseline will have their corticosteroid 
therapy tapered according to a proposed tapering schedule specified in the Protocol.  If the 
Investigator feels that the steroid taper is not advisable for a particular subject at Week 4, the SDP 
should be consulted for evaluation and approval.

Subjects taking corticosteroids at Baseline who have a loss of satisfactory clinical response per the 
Investigator's judgment after the steroid taper has been initiated may have their corticosteroid dose 
increased per the Investigator's discretion during the study.  Subjects in whom the maximum 
equivalent steroid dose exceeds the dose used at Baseline will be censored for efficacy assessments

carried forward for non-categorical assessments) from that point through the end of the study.  
These subjects will continue to be evaluated in the safety population.
Subjects in whom UC-related medications (defined as oral or rectal aminosalicylates, systemic or rectal 
corticosteroids, or systemic medications affecting the immune system, including thiopurines, MTX, and 
agents listed in the study exclusion criteria) that were not being taken at Baseline and are initiated during 
the study or who have dosages of these medications increased to greater than the dose taken at Baseline 
will be censored for efficacy assessments (i.e., will be considered non-responders for categorical 
endpoints and will have Baseline values carried forward for non-categorical assessments) from that point 
through the end of the study.  These subjects will continue to be evaluated in the safety population.

Criteria for Evaluation (Continued):
Pharmacokinetics:
Blood samples will be collected for the measurement of serum adalimumab concentrations just prior to 
dosing at Baseline and Weeks 2, 4, 8, 10, 12, 16, 22, 24, 29, 35, 37, 42, 48, 52 (or at the PD visit if the 
subject discontinues prior to Week 52), and unscheduled visits.  Pre-dosing serum samples for HACAs 
and infliximab concentrations will be collected at Week 0.
Blood samples will be collected for the measurement of AAA just prior to dosing at Baseline and 
Weeks 4, 8, 12, 24, 37, 52 (or at the PD visit if the subject discontinues prior to Week 52), and 
unscheduled visits.
Safety:
Safety analyses will be performed on all subjects who receive at least one dose of study drug.  Incidence 
of adverse events, changes in vital signs, physical examination results, and clinical laboratory data will 
be assessed.
Statistical Methods:
The following statistical analysis plan is for subjects recruited in the main study.  A separate statistical 
analysis plan will be provided for subjects recruited in the Japan sub-study and for all the subjects 
recruited in the main study and the Japan sub-study (See Appendix K).
Efficacy:
The primary endpoint is the proportion of subjects achieving clinical remission (defined as a Full Mayo 
score ≤2 with no subscore > 1) at Week 8 in the intent-to-treat (ITT) analysis set.  The ITT analysis set 
includes all randomized subjects.  The difference between the higher induction regimen arm versus the 
standard induction regimen arm in the proportion of subjects achieving clinical remission at Week 8 will 
be assessed using Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel (CMH) test adjusted for previous infliximab use, and 
Baseline corticosteroid use.  A CMH based two-sided 95% confidence interval for the difference 
between treatment arms will be calculated.  Breslow-Day test for homogeneity of odds ratios will be 
performed as well.  Subjects with missing primary endpoint data at Week 8 will be classified as "no 
clinical remission" (non-responder imputation [NRI] method) for the Week 8 endpoint.  Subjects with 
missing Mayo score data for Week 8 will also be classified as Week 8 non-responders for the Week 52 
analyses.  As sensitivity analyses, logistic regression including treatment, the randomization 
stratification factors and additional clinically important factors such as IMM use at Baseline, Baseline 
CRP, and disease severity at Baseline will also be performed for the primary endpoint.
For CMH test statistic, if the condition of each stratum to have at least one subject with each treatment 
and at least one subject with each possible outcome is violated for the primary approach to the primary 
efficacy endpoint, the stratification factor Baseline corticosteroid use will be dropped from the CMH 
model in the analysis of all categorical variables.

Statistical Methods (Continued):
Efficacy (Continued): 
The secondary efficacy variables are divided into two groups.  The first group includes ranked secondary 
endpoints, which are ranked by clinical importance.  Statistical significance is assessed at an alpha level 
of 0.050 (two-sided) in ranked endpoint order until the significant level exceeds 0.05.  No additional 
statistically significant treatment differences could be declared if the preceding ranked endpoint fails to 
achieve 0.05.  The second group includes all other additional secondary variables.  For Week 8 
endpoints, the difference between the higher adalimumab induction arm versus the standard adalimumab 
induction arm will be assessed using ITT analysis set.  For Week 52 endpoints, the difference between 
the eow arm versus the ew arm will be assessed using Intent-to-Treat maintenance (ITT-M) analysis set.  
The ITT-M analysis set includes all subjects who were re-randomized at Week 8.  Categorical data will 
be described by frequency and percentage; continuous data will be described by mean, standard 
deviation, minimum, median, and maximum.  In general, the secondary endpoints at Week 8 that are of 
the binary type will be analyzed using a two-sided CMH test adjusted for previous infliximab use and 
Baseline corticosteroid use in the ITT analysis set, and the secondary endpoints at Week 52 that are of 
the binary type will be analyzed using a two-sided CMH test adjusted for induction treatment regimen, 
and remitter status (per Full Mayo score) at Week 8 (where applicable) in the ITT-M analysis set.  
Additionally, the two-sided 95% confidence interval for the difference in proportions will be provided.  
Continuous secondary efficacy variables will be analyzed using Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) 
with factor for treatment arm, stratification variables and Baseline values.  NRI for missing data will be 
used for categorical endpoints.  Procedures for handling missing data for continuous endpoints will be 
described in the Statistical Analysis Plan.

Adalimumab trough serum concentrations will be summarized by treatment arm at each time point using 
descriptive statistics.  In addition, pharmacokinetic model-based analyses will be performed with the 
focus on apparent clearance (CL/F) and apparent volume of distribution (V/F) of adalimumab.
Immunogenicity:
AAA will be evaluated for each subject and each regimen, and rates of AAA positivity will be 
calculated.  As appropriate, the effect of AAA on adalimumab pharmacokinetics, efficacy variable(s),
and treatment emergent adverse events may be evaluated.

Safety:
Adverse events (AEs), laboratory data and vital signs are the primary safety parameters in this study.  
All safety comparisons will be performed for both induction and maintenance periods using the safety 
analysis set.  Treatment-emergent AEs are defined as events that begin or worsen either on or after the 
first dose of the study medication and within 70 days after the last dose of the study medication.  
Treatment-emergent AEs will be summarized separately for the double-blind induction period (Week 0 
to Week 8), double-blind maintenance period (Week 8 to 70 days after the last dose of the study 
medication), and Study M14-033 (Week 0 to 70 days after the last dose of the study medication).  An 
overview of treatment-emergent AEs, including AEs of special interest such as adverse events leading to 
death and adverse events leading to PD (see details in the SAP), AEs by (Medical Dictionary for Drug 
Regulatory Activities [MedDRA] version 15.1 or later) preferred term and system organ class, AEs by 
maximum relationship to study drug, and AEs by maximum severity will be summarized by number and 
percentage.  Other safety variables like laboratory data will be described by descriptive statistics.  In 
addition, shift tables and listings will be provided for abnormal values, whereby the normal range of the 
analyzing laboratory will be used.

Protocol Number:  M14-033
Name of Study Drug:  Adalimumab
Phase of Development:  3
Name of Active Ingredient:  Adalimumab
Date of Protocol Synopsis:  16 June 2016
Protocol Title:  A Double-Blind, Randomized, Multicenter Study of Higher Versus Standard 
Adalimumab Dosing Regimens for Induction and Maintenance Therapy in Subjects with Moderately to 
Severely Active Ulcerative Colitis
Objective:  The objective is to evaluate safety and efficacy of higher induction and maintenance dosing 
regimens in subjects with moderately to severely active Ulcerative Colitis (UC).  
Investigators:  Multicenter Trial (Investigator information on file at AbbVie).
Study Sites:  Approximately 125 sites for the main study and approximately 21 sites for the Japan 
sub-study.
Study Population:  Male and female subjects ≥ 18 and ≤ 75 years of age with a diagnosis of moderately 
to severely active UC (up to 25% infliximab-experienced).
Number of Subjects to be Enrolled:  For the main Induction Study, approximately 840 subjects 
(504 subjects in the higher induction dose regimen and 336 subjects in the standard induction dose 
regimen) will be enrolled at approximately 125 sites worldwide.  All subjects who complete the 
Induction Study (regardless of achievement of response at Week 8) will continue into the Maintenance 
Study.  An additional 100 Japanese subjects (60 in the higher induction dose regimen and 40 in the 
standard induction dose regimen) in a Japan sub-study will be enrolled at 21 Japan sites.  In both the 
main study and Japan sub study, up to 25% of subjects with previous infliximab exposure may be 
enrolled.
Methodology:
This Phase 3 study design includes the Screening Period followed by an 8-Week double blind Induction 
Study and a 44-Week double blind Maintenance Study.   
The Induction Study:  will evaluate the efficacy and safety of a higher induction dosing regimen of 
adalimumab versus standard induction dosing in inducing clinical remission at Week 8 in subjects with 
moderately to severely active UC.  
The Maintenance Study:  will evaluate the safety and efficacy of 44 weeks of three maintenance dosing 
regimens of adalimumab in achieving clinical remission at Week 52 (from the Induction Study Baseline) 
in subjects with moderately to severely active UC who achieved clinical response at Week 8 of the 
Induction Study.

Methodology (Continued):
During both the Induction Study and the Maintenance Study, visit week designations will represent 
weeks since first dose in the Induction Study.  Week 0 (Baseline) will reflect the date of 
first adalimumab dosing in the Induction Study.  Week 8 will represent the final assessment in the 
Induction Study.  Week 52 will represent the final assessment in the Maintenance Study (representing 
44 weeks of maintenance treatment in the Maintenance Study).  Subjects will have moderately to 
severely active UC as defined by a Mayo Score of 6 to 12 points with an endoscopy subscore of 2 or 3, 
confirmed by a central reader.  For all Mayo Score evaluations throughout the entire study, the stool 
frequency and the rectal bleeding subscores will be calculated based on entries recorded into the 
subject's diary.
Subjects who meet all of the inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria will be enrolled into the 
Induction Study.  During the Induction Study, subjects will be randomized at Baseline to one of 
2 double-blinded adalimumab induction regimens (higher dose or standard dose) in a 3:2 ratio, as shown 
in the following figure.  Use of the 3:2 randomization scheme allows for collection of additional safety 
data with the higher induction dose regimen.  The randomization will be stratified by previous infliximab 
use and Baseline corticosteroid use.
8-Week Double-Blind Induction Study
The higher induction dose regimen of 160 mg at Weeks 0, 1, 2, and 3, followed by 40 mg at Weeks 4 
and 6 leads to a total adalimumab dose over 8 weeks that is approximately twice that of the standard 
induction dose regimen (720 mg versus 320 mg).  The higher induction dose regimen was designed for 
rapid attainment of higher adalimumab serum concentrations in order to rapidly control inflammation.  
Pre dosing serum samples for infliximab concentration and human antichimeric antibodies (HACAs) 
will be collected at Week 0.  Pre-dosing serum samples for adalimumab drug levels will be collected at 
Weeks 0, 2, 4, and 8.  Pre-dosing serum samples for anti-adalimumab antibodies will be collected at 
Weeks 0, 4, and 8.

227
Methodology (Continued):
At Week 4, all subjects who are taking oral corticosteroids from Baseline will have their corticosteroid 
therapy tapered according to the proposed tapering schedule specified in the protocol.  If the Investigator 
feels that the steroid taper is not advisable for a particular subject at Week 4, the Study Designated 
Physician (SDP) should be consulted for evaluation and approval.
At the conclusion of the 8-Week Induction Study, all subjects will be re-randomized into the 44-week 
Maintenance Study.  Re-randomization into the Maintenance Study will be stratified by induction 
treatment regimen in the Induction Study and response status (per Full Mayo Score) at Week 8.  Among 
the responders at Week 8, the re-randomization will be further stratified by remission status (per Full 
Mayo score) at Week 8.  All subjects in the main study who complete the Induction Study) will be re-
randomized into one of three blinded treatment groups in a 2:2:1 ratio:

Adalimumab 40 mg every other week (eow)

Adalimumab 40 mg every week (ew)

Adalimumab Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (TDM) regimen (exploratory)*
*
1) All subjects in the TDM dosing regimen will receive 40 mg eow at Week 8 and Week 10.  At 
Weeks 12, 24, and 37, the regimen will be adjusted for subjects meeting the dose adjustment 
criteria (see table below) based on blinded serum concentrations at the prior visit (Weeks 10, 22 and 
35, respectively) and rectal bleeding subscore at the prior and current visits as follows:

Subjects receiving 40 mg eow who meet the dose adjustment criteria will escalate to 40 mg 
weekly.

Subjects receiving 40 mg ew who meet the dose adjustment criteria will receive a one-time dose 
of 160 mg at the visit, and resume 40 mg ew starting the following week.
2) Japan sub-study does not have TDM dosing regimen.  Subjects will be re-randomized into 
Adalimumab 40 mg eow treatment group or Adalimumab 40 mg ew treatment group in a 1:1 ratio.
Pre-dosing serum samples for adalimumab drug levels will be collected in all subjects at Weeks 10, 12, 
16, 22, 24, 29, 35, 37, 42, 48, 52/Premature Discontinuation (PD), and unscheduled visits.  Pre-dosing 
serum samples for anti-adalimumab antibodies will be collected at Weeks 12, 24, 37, 52/PD, and 
unscheduled visits.
The goal of the TDM dosing regimen is to attain serum adalimumab levels within a targeted 
concentration range (selected based on exposure-response analyses from Study M06-827) while 
avoiding excessively high concentrations.  During maintenance therapy in Study M06-827, 
concentrations ranged from 0 to 39.3 µg/mL with eow dosing and 0 to 38.0 µg/mL with ew dosing.  The 
lower bound (10 µg/mL) of the targeted concentration range for the TDM dosing regimen is similar to 
the median concentrations observed over time for the subjects in remission at Week 52 of 
Study M06-827 (11.4, 10.6, and 10.8 µg/mL, for Weeks 8, 32, and 52, respectively).  Use of this 
concentration as the minimum threshold to trigger dose escalation will lead to the majority of subjects 
achieving concentrations greater than 10 µg/mL.  Since serum adalimumab concentrations roughly 
double with a doubling of dose, an upper bound of 20 µg/mL is expected to achieve maximal trough 
concentrations in the range of the highest trough concentrations observed in Study M06-827.  It is 
expected that approximately 60% of subjects in the TDM dosing regimen will escalate to ew dosing and 
15% or fewer will receive reinduction using this concentration range plus the Rectal Bleeding Subscore 
(RBS) criteria outlined in the table below as a guide to adjust adalimumab dosing.

d.
For subjects on 40 mg eow, escalate to 40 mg ew.  Subjects on 40 mg ew will receive "reinduction" with a dose 
of 160 mg at the visit and resume 40 mg ew 1 week later.
Note:
There will be no allowance for dose adjustment in the adalimumab eow or ew dosing regimens.
  
Study visits for clinical and safety assessments will be performed at Baseline (Week 0), Weeks 1, 2, 4, 8, 
10, 12, 16, 22, 24, 29, 35, 37, 42, 48, and 52/PD.  All subjects will be provided with a Subject Diary 
where they will record ulcerative colitis-related symptoms (daily stool frequency, abdominal discomfort, 
number of bloody stools, fecal urgency, and general well-being), use of anti-diarrheals, use of 
medications for endoscopy preparation, and study drug dosing information throughout the study.  Blood 
samples will be collected for hs-CRP, adalimumab serum concentrations, anti-adalimumab antibody 
(AAA) levels, and other biomarker analyses.  In addition, stool samples for calprotectin and microbiota 
metagenomic analyses will be collected.  The stool samples should be taken before starting bowel 
preparations for endoscopy.  Subjects will undergo an endoscopy (colonoscopy or flexible 
sigmoidoscopy) with biopsy for histologic assessment during Screening, at Week 8 and at Week 52/PD 
(for subjects who remain in the study through at least Week 24) with local investigator assessment for 
Mayo endoscopic subscore confirmed by a central reader.  The central reviewer scoring will be used for 
all efficacy assessments.  The endoscopy subscore result from the central reviewer during the screening 
period will be used to evaluate the eligibility of a subject to enroll in the study.
Subjects who consent to participate in the optional pharmacogenetic (PG) analysis should have an 
additional blood sample drawn at Baseline and at Week 52/PD.  If the sample is not collected at 
Baseline, preferably it should be collected at the next study visit.
Subjects will be discontinued if they withdraw consent or if they are deemed unsuitable to continue for 
any reason by the Investigator.  Subjects experiencing an active infection or those for whom the 
investigator feels dose escalation is not advisable should contact the Study Designated Physician.

Methodology (Continued):
Subjects will only be allowed to change the dosage of UC-specific concomitant medications as specified 
below:

At Week 4, all subjects who are taking oral corticosteroids from Baseline will have their 
corticosteroid therapy tapered according to the proposed tapering schedule specified in the 
Protocol.  If the Investigator feels that the steroid taper is not advisable for a particular subject 
at Week 4, the SDP should be consulted for evaluation and approval.

Subjects taking corticosteroids at Baseline who have a loss of satisfactory clinical response per 
the Investigator's judgment after the steroid taper has been initiated may have their 
corticosteroid dose increased per the Investigator's discretion during the study.  Subjects in 
whom the maximum equivalent steroid dose exceeds the dose used at Baseline will be censored 
for efficacy assessments (i.e., they will be considered non-responders for categorical endpoints 
and will have Baseline values carried forward for non-categorical assessments) from that point 
forward.  These subjects will continue to be evaluated in the safety population.
Subjects in whom UC-related medications (defined as oral or rectal aminosalicylates, systemic or rectal 
corticosteroids, or systemic medications affecting the immune system, including thiopurines, MTX, and 
agents listed in the study exclusion criteria) that were not being taken at Baseline and are initiated during 
the study or who have dosages of these medications increased to greater than the dose taken at Baseline 
will be censored for efficacy assessments (i.e., will be considered non-responders for categorical 
endpoints and will have Baseline values carried forward for non-categorical assessments) from that point 
forward.  These subjects will continue to be evaluated in the safety population.
Immunosuppressant, corticosteroid, and aminosalicylate doses may be decreased or terminated in the 
event of moderate-to-severe treatment-related toxicities.

Statistical Methods:
The following statistical analysis plan is for subjects recruited in the main study.  A separate statistical 
analysis plan will be provided for subjects recruited in the Japan sub-study and for all the subjects 
recruited in the main study and the Japan sub-study (See Appendix K).
Efficacy:
For the Induction Study, a total of 840 subjects will be allocated to the adalimumab higher induction 
dosing regimen and the adalimumab standard induction dosing regimen in a 3:2 ratio (504 and 
336 subjects in each regimen, respectively).  The sample size for the Induction Study is based on the 
expected proportions of subjects who achieve clinical remission at Week 8.  Assuming the clinical 
remission rate of 35% in the adalimumab higher induction dosing regimen and 20% in the adalimumab 
standard induction dosing regimen at Week 8, this sample size will provide > 95% power to detect a 
difference of 15% between the two treatment groups for the primary endpoint of the Induction Study 
using two-sided Fisher's Exact test at a 0.05 significance level.  The efficacy analysis will be based on 
intent-to-treat analysis set.  The intent-to-treat analysis set includes all randomized subjects who receive 
at least one dose of study drug in the Induction Study 1 (ITT1).  The difference between the higher 
induction dosing regimen group versus the standard induction dosing regimen group in the proportion of 
subjects achieving clinical remission at Week 8 will be assessed using Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel (CMH) 
test adjusted for previous infliximab use and Baseline corticosteroid use.  A CMH based two-sided 95% 
confidence interval for the difference between treatment groups will be calculated.  Breslow-Day test for 
homogeneity of odds ratios will be performed as well.  Subjects with missing primary endpoint data at 
Week 8 will be classified as "no clinical remission" (non-responder imputation [NRI] method) for the 
Week 8 endpoint.  Subjects with missing Mayo score data at Week 8 will be classified as Week 8 non-
responders for the Week 52 Maintenance Study analyses.  As sensitivity analyses, logistic regression 
including treatment, the randomization stratification factors and additional clinically important factors 
such as Immunosuppressant use at Baseline, Baseline hs-CRP, and disease severity at Baseline will also 
be performed for the primary endpoint.  
For the Maintenance Study, the sample size is based on the expected proportions of subjects who 
achieve clinical remission at Week 52.  Assuming the average response rate at Week 8 in the Induction 
Study is 50%, a total of 420 Week 8 responders will be re-randomized to adalimumab 40 mg eow, 
adalimumab 40 mg ew, and TDM regimen in a ratio of 2:2:1; i.e., 168 subjects each in the eow and ew 
groups and 84 subjects in the TDM regimen.  Assuming the Week 52 clinical remission rate of 48% in 
the ew group and 30% in the eow group among Week 8 responders, this sample size will provide 90% 
power to detect a treatment difference of 18% between the two groups using two-sided Fisher's Exact 
test at a 0.05 significance level.  The efficacy analysis will be based on intent-to-treat analysis set.  The 
intent-to-treat analysis set includes all re-randomized subjects who receive at least one dose of study 
drug in the Maintenance Study (ITT2).  The difference between the adalimumab eow regimen versus the 
adalimumab ew regimen in the proportion of subjects achieving clinical remission at Week 52 among 
Week 8 responders will be assessed using Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel (CMH) test adjusted for the 
induction treatment regimen dosing and remitter status at Week 8 (per Full Mayo score utilizing the 
Week 8 endoscopy subscore provided by the site).  A CMH based two-sided 95% confidence interval for 
the difference between treatment groups will be calculated.  Breslow-Day test for homogeneity of odds 
ratios will be performed as well.  Subjects with missing primary endpoint data at Week 52 will be 
classified as "no clinical remission" (non-responder imputation [NRI] method) for the Week 52 
endpoint.

Statistical Methods (Continued):
Efficacy (Continued): 
As sensitivity analyses, logistic regression including treatment, the randomization stratification factors 
and additional clinically important factors such as Immunosuppressant use at Baseline, Baseline hs-CRP, 
and disease severity at Baseline will also be performed for the primary endpoint.
The secondary efficacy variables of the Induction Study and the Maintenance Study are divided into 
two groups.  The first group includes ranked secondary endpoints, which are ranked by clinical 
importance.  Statistical significance is assessed at an alpha level of 0.050 (two-sided) in ranked endpoint 
order until the significant level exceeds 0.05.  No additional statistically significant treatment differences 
could be declared if the preceding ranked endpoint fails to achieve 0.05.  The second group includes all 
other additional secondary variables.  For the Induction Study Week 8 endpoints, the difference between 
the higher adalimumab induction dosing regimen versus the standard adalimumab induction dosing 
regimen will be assessed using ITT1 analysis set.  For the Maintenance Study Week 52 endpoints, the 
difference between the eow group versus the ew group will be assessed using ITT2 analysis set.  
Categorical data will be described by frequency and percentage; continuous data will be described by 
mean, standard deviation, minimum, median, and maximum.  In general, the secondary endpoints at 
Week 8 for the Induction Study that are of the binary type will be analyzed using a two-sided CMH test 
adjusted for previous infliximab use and Baseline corticosteroid use using the ITT1 analysis set, and the 
secondary endpoints at Week 52 for the Maintenance Study that are of the binary type will be analyzed 
using a two-sided CMH test adjusted for induction treatment regimen and remitter status (per Full Mayo 
score) at Week 8 (where applicable) using the ITT2 analysis set.  Additionally, the two-sided 95% 
confidence interval for the difference in proportions will be provided.  Continuous secondary efficacy 
variables will be analyzed using Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) with factor for treatment group, 
stratification variables and Baseline values.  NRI for missing data will be used for categorical endpoints.  
Procedures for handling missing data for continuous endpoints will be described in the Statistical 
Analysis Plan.
Pharmacokinetic:
Adalimumab trough serum concentrations will be summarized by treatment group at each time point 
using descriptive statistics.  In addition, pharmacokinetic model-based analyses will be performed with 
the focus on apparent clearance (CL/F) and apparent volume of distribution (V/F) of adalimumab.
Immunogenicity:
AAA will be evaluated for each subject and each regimen, and rates of AAA positivity will be 
calculated.  As appropriate, the effect of AAA on adalimumab pharmacokinetics, efficacy variable(s), 
and treatment emergent adverse events may be evaluated.
Safety:
Adverse events (AEs), laboratory data and vital signs are the primary safety parameters in this study.  
All safety comparisons will be performed for both Induction and Maintenance Studies using the safety 
analysis set, which includes all subjects who receive at least one dose of study medication in each Study, 
respectively.  Treatment-emergent adverse events will be tabulated by system organ class and by 
MedDRA preferred term by treatment group for the Induction Study and the Maintenance Study, and for 
any adalimumab over the entire study.  Mean changes in vital signs, physical examination results, ECGs, 
and clinical laboratory values will be analyzed.

end of the study.  Subjects in the adalimumab 40 mg ew arm will start 40 mg ew at 
Week 8 until the end of the study.
All subjects in the TDM arm will receive 40 mg eow at Week 8 and Week 10, and may 
have their adalimumab dose adjusted at Weeks 12, 24, and 37 based on criteria assessing 
blinded serum concentration at the prior visit (Weeks 10, 22, and 35, respectively, 
Table 1) and rectal bleeding subscore (RBS) at the prior and current visits as follows:
●
Subjects receiving 40 mg eow and meeting the regimen adjustment criteria will 
escalate to 40 mg weekly.
●
Subjects receiving 40 mg ew and meeting the regimen adjustment criteria will 
receive a one-time dose of 160 mg at the visit, followed by 40 mg ew starting

8.1.4.1
Primary Efficacy Variable
The primary efficacy endpoint is:
Proportion of subjects achieving clinical remission (defined as a Full Mayo score ≤ 2 with 
no subscore > 1) at Week 8.
The primary analysis will compare the subjects in the higher adalimumab induction arm 
versus the standard adalimumab induction arm in the ITT analysis set.  The difference 
between the treatment arms in the proportion of subjects achieving clinical remission at 
Week 8 will be assessed using Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel (CMH) test adjusted for 
previous infliximab use and Baseline corticosteroid use at Baseline.  A CMH based 
two-sided 95% confidence interval for the difference between treatment arms will be 
calculated.  Breslow-Day test for homogeneity of odds ratios will be performed as well.  
Subjects with missing primary endpoint data at Week 8 will be classified as "no clinical 
remission" (non-responder imputation [NRI] method) for the Week 8 endpoint.  Subjects 
with missing Mayo score data for Week 8 will also be classified as Week 8 
non-responders.
As sensitivity analyses, logistic regression including treatment, the randomization

Baseline, Baseline CRP, and disease severity at Baseline will also be performed for the 
primary endpoint.
For CMH test statistic, if the condition of each stratum to have at least one subject with 
each treatment and at least one subject with each possible outcome is violated for the 
primary approach to the primary efficacy endpoint, the stratification factor Baseline 
corticosteroid use will be dropped from the CMH model in the analysis of all categorical 
variables.

Primary Efficacy Variables
The primary efficacy endpoint for the Induction Study is:
Proportion of subjects achieving clinical remission (defined as a Full Mayo score ≤ 2 with 
no subscore > 1) at Week 8.
The primary efficacy endpoint for the Maintenance Study is:
Proportion of Week 8 responders (per Full Mayo score, defined as a decrease in Full 
Mayo score of ≥ 3 points and ≥ 30% from Baseline plus a decrease in the rectal bleeding 
subscore [RBS] ≥ 1 or an absolute RBS of 0 or 1) achieving clinical remission (per Full 
Mayo score) at Week 52.
The primary analysis of the Induction Study will compare the subjects in the higher 
adalimumab induction regimen versus the standard adalimumab induction regimen in the 
ITT1 analysis set.  The difference between the treatment regimens in the proportion of 
subjects achieving clinical remission at Week 8 will be assessed using Cochran-Mantel-
Haenszel (CMH) test adjusted for previous infliximab use and Baseline corticosteroid use 
at Baseline.  A CMH based two sided 95% confidence interval for the difference between 
treatment groups will be calculated.  Breslow-Day test for homogeneity of odds ratios will 
be performed as well.  Subjects with missing primary endpoint data at Week 8 will be 
classified as "no clinical remission" (non-responder imputation [NRI] method) for the

As sensitivity analyses, logistic regression including treatment, the randomization 
stratification factors and additional clinically important factors such as 
Immunosuppressant use at Baseline, Baseline hs-CRP, and disease severity at Baseline 
will also be performed for the primary endpoint for the Induction Study.
The primary analysis of the Maintenance Study will compare the Week 8 responders (per 
Full Mayo Score) in the eow regimen versus the subjects in the ew regimen in the ITT2 
analysis set.  The difference between the treatment regimens in the proportion of subjects 
achieving clinical remission at Week 52 will be assessed using Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel 
(CMH) test adjusted for Induction treatment regimen and the remitter status (per Full 
Mayo Score) at Week 8.  A CMH based two-sided 95% confidence interval for the 
difference between treatment groups will be calculated.  Breslow-Day test for 
homogeneity of odds ratios will be performed as well.  Subjects with missing primary 
endpoint data at Week 52 will be classified as "no clinical remission" (non-responder 
imputation [NRI] method) for the Week 52 endpoint.  Subjects with missing Mayo score 
data for Week 52 will also be classified as Week 52 non-responders.
The TDM regimen will be used for exploratory analyses.
Section 8.1.4.2  Secondary Efficacy Variables

The secondary efficacy variables are divided into two groups.  The first group includes 
ranked secondary endpoints, which are ranked by clinical importance.  Statistical 
significance is assessed at an alpha level of 0.050 (two-sided) in ranked endpoint order 
until the significant level exceeds 0.05.  No additional statistically significant treatment 
differences could be declared if the preceding ranked endpoint fails to achieve 0.05.  The 
second group includes all other additional secondary variables.  For Week 8 endpoints, the 
difference between the higher adalimumab induction arm versus the standard adalimumab 
induction arm will be assessed using ITT analysis set.  For Week 52 endpoints, the 

Adalimumab

difference between the eow arm versus the ew arm will be assessed using Intent-to-Treat 
maintenance (ITT-M) analysis set where Week 8 responder/remitter status will be 
determined based on the Full Mayo score using endoscopy subscore from the central 
reader.  Categorical data will be described by frequency and percentage; continuous data 
will be described by mean, standard deviation, minimum, median, and maximum.  In 
general, the secondary endpoints at Week 8 that are of the binary type will be analyzed 
using a two-sided CMH test adjusted for previous infliximab use and Baseline 
corticosteroid use in the ITT analysis set, and the secondary endpoints at Week 52 that are 
of the binary type will be analyzed using a two-sided CMH test adjusted for induction 
treatment regimen, and remitter status (per Full Mayo score) at Week 8 (where applicable) 
in the ITT-M analysis set.  Additionally, the two-sided 95% confidence interval for the 
difference in proportions will be provided.  Continuous secondary efficacy variables will 
be analyzed using Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) with factor for treatment arm, 
stratification variables and Baseline values.  NRI for missing data will be used for 
categorical endpoints.  Procedures for handling missing data for continuous endpoints will 
be described in the Statistical Analysis Plan.

Previously read:
Adverse events (AEs), laboratory data and vital signs are the primary safety parameters in 
this study.  All safety comparisons will be performed for both induction and maintenance 
periods using the Safety set.  Treatment-emergent AEs are defined as events that begin or 
worsen either on or after the first dose of the study medication and within 70 days after 
the last dose of the study medication.  Treatment-emergent AEs will be summarized 
separately for the double-blind induction period (Week 0 to Week 8), double-blind 
maintenance period (Week 8 to 70 days after the last dose of the study medication), and 
Study M14-033 (Week 0 to 70 days after the last dose of the study medication).  An 
overview of treatment-emergent AEs, including AEs of special interest such as adverse 
events leading to death and adverse events leading to PD (see details in the SAP), AEs by 
Medical Dictionary for Drug Regulatory Activities (MedDRA version 15.1 or later) 
preferred term and system organ class, AEs by maximum relationship to study drug, and 
AEs by maximum severity will be summarized by number and percentage.  Other safety 
variables like laboratory data will be described by descriptive statistics.  In addition, shift 
tables and listings will be provided for abnormal values, whereby the normal range of the 
analyzing laboratory will be used.

Section 8.2  Determination of Sample Size
Previously read:
Subjects will be randomized to the adalimumab higher induction arm and the adalimumab 
standard induction arm in a 3:2 ratio.  The sample size calculations for the main study are 
based on a two-sided Fisher's exact test at a significance level of 0.05.  Assuming an 
expected Week 8 endoscopic improvement rate of 60% in the adalimumab higher 
induction dose arm and 45% in the adalimumab standard induction dose arm, 525 subjects 
(315 in the higher induction dose arm and 210 in the standard induction dose arm) will 
provide 90% statistical power to detect the difference between the two induction treatment 
arms.  This sample size of 525 subjects in the main study will provide at least 95% power 
to detect a treatment difference of 15% for the primary endpoint of clinical remission, 
assuming an expected Week 8 clinical remission rate of 35% in the adalimumab higher 
induction arm and 20% in the adalimumab standard induction arm.
Assuming the average response rate at Week 8 in the adalimumab induction dose arms in 
the main study is 60%, there will be 315 responders for the analysis of Week 52 clinical 

Adalimumab
M14-033 Protocol Amendment 3

288
remission among the Week 8 responders (126 in the higher maintenance dose arm, 126 in 
the standard maintenance dose arm, and 63 in the TDM regimen arm).  This sample size 
will provide 80% power to detect a treatment difference of 18%, assuming an expected 
Week 52 clinical remission rate of 48% in the adalimumab higher maintenance arm and 
30% in the adalimumab standard maintenance arm. 
The sample size calculations for the Japan sub-study are described in Appendix K.
Has been changed to read:
When Protocol M14-033 was initially designed, AbbVie used an assumption regarding 
induction response rate in order to calculate the expected number of Week 8 responders 
that would comprise the analysis set used to compare the Week 52 remission rates in the 
adalimumab 40 mg every other week and 40 mg weekly groups.  AbbVie assumed that 
the overall response rate (per Full Mayo Score) at Week 8 would be 60%, which would 
provide 315 Week 8 responders for the analysis of Week 52 remission (126 in the every 
other week dosing group, 126 in the every week dosing group, and 63 in the exploratory 
TDM group, based upon a 2:2:1 randomization scheme) from the 525 randomized 
induction subjects.  This sample size would provide 80% power to detect a treatment 
difference of 18%, assuming an expected Week 52 remission rate of 48% in the 
adalimumab weekly dosing group and 30% in the adalimumab every other week dosing 
group.
Considering the uncertainty in the Week 8 response rate may be caused by the impact of 
central reading on the endoscopic subscore, based on the ozanimod Phase 2 
TOUCHSTONE trial data presented in early 2015, AbbVie re-estimated the Week 8 
response rate to be 50% instead of 60%.  Under this assumption, if the sample remains 
525, a smaller size of the Week 52 analysis set than was original predicted, and thus an 
insufficient power (72%) for the analysis of the Week 52 remission endpoint is expected.  
Furthermore, Week 52 remission rate will be the primary endpoint of the Maintenance 
Study.  AbbVie proposes to increase the power for this endpoint from 80% as originally 
designed to 90% retaining the currently assumed treatment difference.  The combined 

Adalimumab
M14-033 Protocol Amendment 3
EudraCT 2013-001682-16
289
impact of these changes (i.e., increased power plus higher uncertainty in Week 8 response 
rate) results in an increase in the overall Study M14-033 sample size from 525 subjects to 
a total of 840 subjects.
Subjects will be randomized to the adalimumab higher induction regimen and the 
adalimumab standard induction regimen in a 3:2 ratio.  The sample size calculations for 
the main study are based on a two sided Fisher's exact test at a significance level of 0.05.  
Assuming an expected Week 8 endoscopic improvement rate of 60% in the adalimumab 
higher induction dosing regimen and 45% in the adalimumab standard induction dosing 
regimen, 804 subjects (504 subjects in the higher induction dosing regimen and 
336 subjects in the standard induction dosing regimen) will provide 90% statistical power 
to detect the difference between the two induction treatment regimens.  This sample size 
of 804 subjects in the main study will provide at least 95% power to detect a treatment 
difference of 15% for the primary endpoint of clinical remission, assuming an expected 
Week 8 clinical remission rate of 35% in the adalimumab higher induction regimen and 
20% in the adalimumab standard induction regimen.
Assuming the average response rate at Week 8 in the adalimumab induction dosing 
regimens in the main study is 50%, there will be 420 responders for the analysis of 
Week 52 clinical remission among the Week 8 responders (168 in the higher maintenance 
dosing regimen, 168 in the standard maintenance dosing regimen, and 84 in the TDM 
regimen).  This sample size will provide 90% power to detect a treatment difference of 
18%, assuming an expected Week 52 clinical remission rate of 48% in the adalimumab 
higher maintenance dosing regimen and 30% in the adalimumab standard maintenance 
dosing regimen. 
The sample size calculations for the Japan sub-study are described in Appendix K.
