Study Design:
This phase 3, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized, 
parallel-group study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 
nemolizumab in subjects with PN. 
Approximately 270 subjects with PN will be randomized 2:1 to receive either 
nemolizumab (CD14152) or placebo, stratified by study center and body weight 
(< 90 kg vs ≥90 kg). Subjects weighing < 90 kg at baseline will receive either

30 mg nemolizumab (with 60 mg loading dose at baseline) or placebo every 4 
weeks (Q4W). Subjects weighing ≥90 kg at baseline will receive either 60 mg 
nemolizumab or placebo Q4W (no loading dose at baseline).
Subjects’ participation in the study will be up to 36 weeks. The study consists of 
a screening period (up to 4 weeks), a 24-week treatment period, and an 8-week 
follow up period (12 weeks after their last study drug injection). Refer to
Figure 1 for an overview of study design.
Following provision of written informed consent, subjects with PN will be 
screened for enrolment in the study. Eligible subjects will return for a baseline 
visit where, following randomization, they will be administered either a dose of 
60 mg nemolizumab or placebo via 2 subcutaneous (SC) injections. Thereafter, 
study drug will be administered Q4W at Week 4, 8, 12, 16 and 20 by either a 
single SC injection of either nemolizumab 30 mg or placebo for subjects 
weighing < 90 kg at baseline or by two SC injections of either nemolizumab 30 
mg or placebo for subjects weighing ≥90 kg at baseline. Refer to Table 1 for an 
overview of the study therapy. Efficacy and safety assessments will be 
performed at visits throughout the screening and treatment period, as outlined in 
the Schedule of Assessments (Table 5).
At the end of the 24-week treatment period, consenting subjects may be eligible 
to enter an active treatment/long-term extension (LTE) study
(RD.06.SPR.202699). Subjects who participate in the LTE are not required to 
complete the follow-up visit. Subjects who do not participate in the LTE will 
return for a follow-up visit at Week 32 (12 weeks after the last study drug 
injection). 
Subjects who prematurely discontinue the study drug will be asked to continue 
participation in the study and return for all remaining visits and assessments 
(including daily assessments of pruritus and sleep disturbance). Subjects who 
discontinue study drug due to required rescue therapy may be eligible to 
participate in the LTE study following completion of study visits through Week 
24. Subjects who discontinue the study prematurely should complete an early 
termination (ET) visit and a follow-up visit 12 weeks after the last study drug 
injection.
An independent data monitoring committee (IDMC) will review and monitor 
subject safety throughout the study, and an independent adjudication committee 
(IAC) will review all asthma-related events throughout the study. The IDMC

Planned Sample 
Size:
Approximately 270 subjects are planned to be randomized in this study
Therapy:
Nemolizumab (CD14152) or placebo will be provided as lyophilized powder for 
solution for subcutaneous injection only after reconstitution in a single-use, pre-
filled, dual-chamber syringe (DCS).
During the treatment period, eligible subjects will be randomized to receive 
either nemolizumab (CD14152) or placebo, administered Q4W for 24 weeks 
(last injection at Week 20). Subjects weighing < 90 kg at baseline will receive
either nemolizumab 30 mg or placebo via a single SC injection (with a loading 
dose of 60 mg on Day 1/baseline); subjects weighing ≥90 kg at baseline will 
receive either nemolizumab 60 mg or placebo via two SC injections at all visits 
(no loading dose).
Subjects will have the option to self-inject study drug while at the study center 
under staff supervision. Subjects will be trained on injecting the study drug and 
will be allowed to inject study drug at all subsequent visits, while at the study 
center, under staff supervision. If the subject does not wish to perform the 
injections, study staff can administer study drug at each visit.

Rescue therapies
If deemed to be medically necessary by the investigator (eg, to control 
intolerable signs/symptoms of PN), rescue therapies can be prescribed to the 
subjects at any time during the study except during the screening period.

Subjects receiving rescue therapies during the screening period are not eligible 
to participate in the study. 
As a general guideline and per individual investigator judgment, rescue therapy 
should not be prescribed within the first 4 weeks after baseline to allow a 
minimum time for study drug exposure.
Investigator assessments of efficacy should be performed before initiating rescue 
therapy. Subjects requiring rescue therapy between scheduled visits should 
return to the clinic (unscheduled visit) for investigator assessment of efficacy 
before starting rescue therapy.
Whenever possible, investigators should first use topical medication or oral 
antihistamines as rescue therapy before escalating to other systemic therapies. If 
subjects receive topical treatments, oral antihistamines, or ultraviolet B (UVB) 
phototherapy as rescue therapy, study drug administration should be continued 
unless there is a concern according to the investigator’s judgment. If subjects 
receive systemic rescue therapy (other than oral antihistamines), intralesional 
corticosteroids, or oral psoralen + ultraviolet A (PUVA) treatment, the study 
drug administration must be permanently discontinued. See Section 9.10.2 for a 
complete list of allowed rescue therapies.
Subjects requiring rescue medication (with or without study drug
discontinuation) may be eligible for LTE participation. These subjects must 
continue with study visits through Week 24 to be considered for LTE 
participation. 
Treatment 
Duration:
The expected duration of each subject’s participation in the study is up to 36
weeks, including a screening period (up to 4 weeks), a 24-week treatment
period, and an 8-week follow-up period (12-weeks after the last study drug
injection).
Subjects who rollover into the LTE are not required to complete the follow-up 
visit.

Statistical Methods 
and Planned 
Analyses:
The intent-to-treat (ITT) population will consist of all randomized subjects. The 
safety population will include all randomized subjects who receive at least 1 
dose of study drug. The Per-Protocol (PP) population will consist of all subjects 
in the ITT population who have no major protocol deviations that would have a

significant effect on the efficacy of the study treatment. The ITT population will 
be the primary population for all efficacy analyses, and all safety data will be 
summarized based on the safety population. The PP population will be used as 
the population for sensitivity analyses of the primary and key secondary efficacy 
endpoints. 
Primary Efficacy Endpoints:
There are 2 primary efficacy endpoints
-
The proportion of subjects with at least 4 points of improvement in PP
NRS at Week 16.
-
The proportion of subjects reporting success on the IGA at Week 16, 
defined as an IGA response of 0 [Clear] or 1 [Almost clear] and a ≥2-
point reduction from baseline. 
Both primary endpoints will be analyzed using a Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel 
(CMH) test adjusted for randomized stratification variable analysis center and 
baseline body weight (< 90 kg and ≥90 kg). The estimate of the treatment 
difference (nemolizumab minus placebo), p-value and 2-sided 95% confidence 
interval will be presented. Missing data at Week 16, and any data for subjects in 
receipt of rescue medication up to Week 16, will be regarded as a non-responder 
for the primary analysis of the endpoint.
A number of sensitivity analyses are included for the primary endpoints, as per 
Section 15.4.3.
Key Secondary Endpoints:
All binary key secondary efficacy endpoints will be analyzed as per the primary 
endpoint. 
Additionally, sensitivity analyses using multiple-imputation assuming missing at 
random (MAR) and observed case (OC) analysis will be performed for key 
secondary endpoints as outlined in Section 15.4.4.
Secondary Efficacy Endpoints:
Binary secondary endpoints will be analyzed in the same manner as the primary 
endpoint; missing values will be imputed as non-responder. 
Continuous secondary endpoints (except EQ-5D, HADS) will be analyzed using 
multiple-imputation assuming MAR and using mixed effect model for repeated 
measure (MMRM) approach, including analysis center as factor and baseline as

covariate where applicable. The estimated treatment difference for each 
endpoint at each visit will be displayed in the summary of statistical analysis 
together with the 95% CI and associated p-value. EQ-5D and HADS endpoints 
will be analyzed using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) including analysis 
center as factor and baseline as covariate. All secondary endpoints will be 
presented descriptively using OC. 
Further details will be provided in the Statistical Analysis Plan.
Multiplicity:
To control the type I error at 5%, a fixed sequential testing approach will be 
implemented. For testing purposes both primary endpoints will be tested first in 
a predefined order (as listed in Section 15.4.1) at 5% significance level, and 
testing of key secondary endpoints will start only if both primary endpoints are 
successful at 5% level of significance. Key secondary endpoints will be tested in 
an order listed in section 15.4.4, stopping when a non-significant result (p> 0.05) 
is found.
Safety Analyses:
The incidence of TEAEs, vital signs, laboratory values and ECG will be 
summarized by treatment groups. 
Pharmacokinetics (PK):
Summary statistics will be used to describe the PK profile of nemolizumab. 
Individual and mean serum concentration versus time curves will be presented 
for both linear and semi-log scales. Descriptive statistics of the serum 
concentrations versus time will be presented as well as for the PK parameters. 
Sample size:
In order to achieve at least 90% power for both primary endpoint at 5%
significance level, 270 (180 nemolizumab, 90 placebo) subjects will be required 
to detect the following difference in both primary endpoints between treatment 
groups with 2:1 randomization, assuming 15% dropout rate during treatment 
period. 
NRS responders (≥4 point reduction from baseline): Based on phase 2a data, it is 
expected that the NRS response at Week 16 would be 50% in Nemolizumab 
group and 20% in placebo.
IGA response (0/1): It is expected that the IGA response at Week 16 would be 
30% in Nemolizumab group and 10% in placebo.

INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND ON PRURIGO NODULARIS
Prurigo nodularis (PN) is characterized by the presence of multiple (up to hundreds), 
symmetrically distributed, highly pruritic, hyperkeratotic, erosive or crusted nodules and 
papules.1 Chronic itching is believed to induce and maintain the characteristic PN skin 
lesions through an itch-scratch cycle.2 This leads to an impaired quality of life (QoL) and 
high burden due not only to the severe itch but also the chronic skin lesions and lack of 
treatment options.3
Limited data exist about the incidence and prevalence of PN in the general population, 
but it seems to be more frequent and intense in females and the elderly.4,5
The physiopathology of PN is still not fully understood; however, the interactions 
between cutaneous nerve fibers, neuropeptides and immune cells seem to play an 
important role in the onset of PN.6 The etiology of PN is associated with a subclinical 
small fiber neuropathy based on the observed reduction of intraepidermal nerve fiber 
density in patient biopsies and the epidemiological association of PN with various 
etiologies of peripheral neuropathies.7,8,9 Further supporting this theory is the observation 
of a positive response in some patients to gabapentin and pregabalin, commonly utilized 
treatments for pain and neuropathy.10 PN also has a neuroinflammatory component as 
changes in the morphology of skin nerve fibers and increased dermal neural hyperplasia 
are associated with concomitant inflammation caused by T lymphocytes, eosinophils, 
granulocytes and mast cells.6
As itch is the hallmark symptom of PN, a role for neural sensitization followed by lesion 
appearance and development of a chronic itch-scratch cycle has been suggested. 
A large spectrum of underlying conditions that induce chronic pruritus can be associated 
with PN, including dermatological (eg, atopic dermatitis), systemic (eg, chronic kidney 
failure), neurological (eg, brachioradial pruritus), and psychiatric or mixed origin 
disorders.11

Only a few studies have described the incidence and the strength of association of 
different co-morbidities in a representative cohort of patients with PN.4 A large study of 
PN patients at a major academic center in the United States noted associations of PN with 
chronic kidney disease, Type II Diabetes, and HIV.12 Further, data from US claims 
databases confirmed these associations.5 A subset of patients with PN also have a 
concomitant atopic diathesis, occurring in nearly half of subjects with PN in a small 
European study in a predominantly Caucasian population. Atopic diathesis was also 
found to predict a significantly earlier age of onset (median age of 19 years) compared to 
non-atopic patients (median age of 48 years).13
Psychosocial disorders are also significantly associated with PN. Rowland Payne et al.,14
found that more than 50% of their PN patients had a history of depression or anxiety 
requiring medical intervention.
The goal of PN treatment is to break the itch-scratch cycle and allow the skin to heal. 
However, treatment of PN is notoriously challenging and frustrating for both 
dermatologists and patients, as the response to current therapy options is typically limited 
or associated with adverse events (AEs). There are no standardized or approved therapies
for PN to date and evidence from controlled studies is limited.10 The difficulty in treating 
this disease is reflected in the wide range of treatments proposed in the literature.
The current treatment recommendations for PN include identification and treatment of 
any underlying disease, moisturizers and antipruritics, topical therapies (corticosteroids, 
calcineurin inhibitors), and oral antihistamines as first-line agents.15 Phototherapy, oral or 
intra-lesional steroids, topical vitamin D3 (calcipotriol), capsaicin, cryotherapy and 
antidepressants (amitriptyline, selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors) are used as 
second-line therapies with variable efficacy. In third-line, systemic treatments such as 
cyclosporine,16 antiepileptic drugs (gabapentin, pregabalin)17 and thalidomide18 showed 
moderate-to-good response in pruritus reduction after several months of administration, 
but their use is limited by their unfavorable safety profile. Other off-label therapeutic 
options proposed for pruritus based on limited evidence include opioid receptor agonists 
and antagonists (naltrexone),19 NKR1-antagonists (aprepitant),20 and antibiotics 
(roxithromycin, erythromicin).21

The T-cell-derived cytokine interleukin-31 (IL-31) has been suggested to be a key player 
in the development of pruritus in PN. Skin biopsies from PN patients with an atopic 
background showed a 50-fold upregulation of IL-31 mRNA compared to skin from 
healthy individuals and a 4.5-fold upregulation compared to skin from atopic dermatitis 
(AD) patients.22 A significantly higher level of IL-31 mRNA was also observed in PN 
patients with unknown AD background compared to normal skin.23
IL-31 is preferentially produced by T helper 2 (Th2) cells, following induction by IL-4.24
The IL-31 receptor A (IL-31RA) has been found to be expressed in several tissues 
including the dorsal root spinal ganglia, where the cell bodies of cutaneous sensory 
neurons reside,22 as well as keratinocytes. IL-31 binds to IL-31RA, forming a 
heterodimer with Oncostatin M receptor (OSMR), which activates the down-stream 
JAK/STAT signaling pathway and transmits signals into the cell.25, 26
Taken together, IL-31 seems to be an important cytokine for the regulation of PN and a 
potential therapy target.
BACKGROUND ON NEMOLIZUMAB
Nemolizumab is a humanized anti-human IL-31 receptor A (RA) monoclonal modified 
immunoglobulin G (IgG) 2 antibody comprising a structure of 2 H-chains (445 amino 
acid residues) and 2 L-chains (214 amino acid residues) connected by 16 disulfide bonds.
Nemolizumab inhibits the binding of IL-31 to IL-31RA and subsequent signal 
transduction.
Nonclinical Studies
Non-clinical studies in mice, cynomolgus monkeys, and dogs have demonstrated a role 
for IL-31 in pruritus models that were inhibited by administration of anti-IL-31 or anti-
IL-31RA monoclonal antibodies.27-31 The Investigator’s Brochure (IB) contains detailed 
information on nonclinical studies. 
Clinical Pharmacokinetic Profile and Immunogenicity
Nemolizumab PK profile was extensively assessed in subjects with AD in Phase 1, 2, and 
2b studies (Studies CIM001JP, CIM003JG, and RD.03.SPR.114322, respectively) and

after repeated doses and in subjects with PN (Phase 2 study, RD.03.SPR.115828). 
Similar nemolizumab systemic exposure was observed in subjects with AD and in 
subjects with PN when treated with the same dose (0.5 mg/kg). 
The similarity in nemolizumab exposure between the PN and AD subjects was also 
confirmed using popPK modelling.  Overall pharmacokinetic assessments after 
subcutaneous (SC) injections of weight-based (0.1 to 3 mg/kg) or flat (10 to 90 mg) doses 
showed a dose proportional increase of nemolizumab serum concentrations after a single 
(mg/kg) injection and a less than proportional increase after repeated (mg/kg and flat) 
administrations. The terminal elimination half-life of nemolizumab was around 2 weeks 
after single and repeated administrations. Steady state concentrations were achieved from 
week 16 of treatment following single SC injections and from Week 4 of treatment when 
a loading (flat 2x) dose was administered at the baseline injection. Limited systemic 
accumulation was observed after repeated administrations.
The IB contains additional detailed information on nemolizumab pharmacokinetics.
Immunogenicity results showed nemolizumab to have a very low potential of inducing 
ADA in subjects with AD or in subjects with PN. Only one treatment related ADA-
positive subjects was reported out of the 34 subjects with PN receiving the treatment. No 
subjects had positive ADA that included IgE and no subjects developed neutralizing 
antibodies (NAb).
Clinical Studies
One phase 2 study with nemolizumab has been completed in PN subjects. Additional 
studies have been completed in healthy subjects, subjects with AD, and subjects with 
uremic pruritus.  Results of phase 2 studies in PN and AD subjects are summarized 
below. The IB contains additional detailed information on clinical studies conducted with 
nemolizumab.

Phase 2a Safety and Efficacy Study: Prurigo Nodularis
The phase 2a study (RD.03.SPR.115828) was a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-
blind, parallel-group, multicenter study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of 
nemolizumab in subjects suffering from PN over a 12-week treatment period. 
A total of 70 subjects were randomized: 36 subjects were randomized to placebo and 34 
subjects were randomized to nemolizumab 0.5 mg/kg. Sixty subjects (85.7%) completed 
the study. Demographic characteristics were similar in both treatment groups. Disease 
characteristics at baseline were similar in both treatment groups, with the exception of the 
Prurigo Activity Score (PAS) at baseline, which was slightly higher in the placebo 
compared with the nemolizumab group, and more subjects in the nemolizumab group had 
a severe Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) score compared with the placebo group.
The primary efficacy endpoint was percent change from baseline in Peak Pruritus 
Numeric Rating Scale (PP NRS) to Week 4 (weekly average of the peak). Nemolizumab 
was clinically and statistically significantly superior to placebo in reducing the PP NRS 
scores at Week 4 (difference between treatment groups -38.0%; 95% confidence interval 
[CI] -51.0, -25.0; p<0.001). 
The proportion of subjects with IGA success, a secondary endpoint, was higher in the 
nemolizumab group compared with the placebo group at Week 12 and at a follow-up visit 
at Week 18, and the differences were statistically significant (Week 12: difference 17.2%; 
p=0.020; Week 18: difference 32.0%; p=0.001).
Secondary endpoints also included PP NRS scores at other time points, Average Pruritus 
(AP) NRS, PP and AP Verbal Rating Scale, Dynamic Pruritus Scale, and PAS. 
Improvements were statistically significantly greater in the nemolizumab group than in
the placebo group at all time points for pruritus endpoints and at or before Week 12 for 
PAS endpoints.
The most frequently reported treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE) was 
nasopharyngitis, the incidence of which was similar in the nemolizumab group (5 
subjects, 14.7%) and the placebo group (4 subjects, 11.1%). The incidence of 
neurodermatitis was higher in the placebo group (5 subjects, 13.9%) compared with the

nemolizumab group (2 subjects, 5.9%). The incidence of atopic dermatitis was higher in 
the nemolizumab group (3 subjects, 8.8%) compared with the placebo group (0 subjects). 
The percentage of subjects with severe TEAEs was higher in the nemolizumab group (5 
subjects, 14.7%) compared with the placebo group (1 subject, 2.8%). The incidence of 
TEAEs leading to permanent discontinuation of the study drug was similar between the 
nemolizumab and placebo groups.
The incidence of treatment-emergent SAEs was similar between the nemolizumab group 
(4 subjects, 11.8%) and the placebo group (3 subjects, 8.3%). Neurodermatitis was the 
most frequently reported treatment-emergent SAE, for which all subjects were in the 
placebo group (3 subjects, 8.3%). One subject in the nemolizumab group had a treatment-
emergent SAE related to study drug (dermatitis psoriasiform). There were no deaths 
reported during the study.
Phase 2b Dose-Ranging Study: Atopic Dermatitis
The phase 2b study (RD.03.SPR.114322) was a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-
blind, parallel-group, dose-ranging study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and 
pharmacokinetics of various doses of nemolizumab in moderate-to-severe AD subjects 
with severe pruritus (PP NRS ≥7).
A total of 226 adult subjects were randomized: 57 subjects were randomized to placebo 
and 169 subjects were randomized to nemolizumab arms (55 subjects to 10 mg, 57 
subjects to 30 mg, and 57 subjects to 90 mg). Overall, all demographic and baseline 
disease characteristics were similar in all treatment groups.
The primary efficacy endpoint was percent change from baseline in Eczema Area and 
Severity Index (EASI) to Week 24. At the Week 24 visit, a greater percent change 
reduction in EASI was observed with the nemolizumab 30-mg dose (least squares mean
difference versus placebo = 16.7%) and the difference was statistically significant (95%
CI = -30.2, -3.2; p = 0.016) compared to placebo. The nemolizumab 10-mg dose showed 
a marginally statistically significant difference versus placebo (least squares mean
difference = 13.6%; 95% CI = -27.3, 0.0; p = 0.051). However, the difference between
the nemolizumab 90-mg dose and placebo did not achieve statistical significance.

The PP NRS responder (PP NRS improvement ≥4) rate was statistically significant (p <
0.05) for all nemolizumab doses at all timepoints from Week 2. 
All doses of nemolizumab were associated with a slightly higher incidence of TEAEs 
when compared to placebo. There was no increase in the incidence of skin infections in 
the nemolizumab compared to the placebo groups, although there was a higher incidence 
of non-skin infections with nemolizumab (mainly rhinopharyngitis and upper respiratory 
tract infections). There was a dose-dependent increase of asthma flares (1 [1.8%], 2 
[3.6%], 7 [12.3%], and 10 [17.5%] in placebo, 10 mg, 30 mg, and 90 mg, respectively) in 
subjects with pre-existing asthma. Events were mostly mild or moderate (1 severe event 
with the highest dose), manageable, and reversible under treatment with study drug. 
Local and systemic injection-related reactions (IRRs) occurred more frequently in the 
placebo group compared to the active treatment groups. Finally, there was a low 
incidence of peripheral edema, with no serious cases and no imbalance with the placebo 
arm. There was a comparable percentage of subjects discontinuing treatment due to 
TEAE in the placebo and active treatment arms.
There was 1 non-related AE with a fatal outcome (82-year-old subject treated with the
10-mg dose died due to non–study drug related aspiration pneumonia and
cardiopulmonary arrest). Three suspected unexpected serious adverse reactions
(SUSARs) were recorded in the study: exacerbation of AD (10-mg dose, withdrawal
from study), septic shock (90-mg dose, sepsis, Staphylococcus aureus–positive blood
culture, recovered/resolved without sequelae), and phlegmon/cellulitis of the right cheek
(30-mg dose, recovered/resolved without sequelae). All doses of nemolizumab were
associated with a slightly higher incidence of serious TEAEs (1 [1.8%], 3 [5.5%], 2 
[3.5%], and 2 [3.5%] in placebo, 10 mg, 30 mg, and 90 mg, respectively) but not severe 
TEAEs (6 [10.7%], 3 [5.5%], 5 [8.8%], and 2 [3.5%] in placebo, 10 mg, 30 mg, and 90 
mg, respectively) when compared to placebo. 
The safety and efficacy data generated in the phase 2b dose-finding study supported the
selection of the 30-mg dose as the treatment dose for the phase 3 studies in AD.

CLINICAL RISKS/BENEFITS OF NEMOLIZUMAB
Pruritus is the cardinal symptom in PN, and is often difficult to treat with current 
therapies. Chronic itching is believed to induce and maintain the characteristic PN skin 
lesions through an itch-scratch cycle. Therefore, the goal of PN treatments target pruritus 
remission in order to allow skin healing and improvement in patients’ QoL.
Results from a previous clinical study with nemolizumab demonstrated a marked effect 
on PN and pruritus. The decrease in itching sensation was rapid, within the first week 
following the first injection and improved with subsequent administrations. This 
improvement in the signs and symptoms of PN was consistent with the observed 
improvement in QoL (evaluated using the Dermatology Life Quality Index [DLQI]).
Continuous treatment with nemolizumab also led to an improvement in the overall 
severity of PN, which was evaluated with various validated scales (ie, IGA, PP NRS, and 
PAS). Based on the results of the phase 2a study (RD.03.SPR.115828) nemolizumab was 
clinically and statistically significantly superior to placebo in reducing the weekly 
average of PP NRS scores at Week 4 (difference between treatment groups -38.0%; 95% 
CI -51.0, -25.0; p<0.001). Improvements in IGA success and PAS observed in the 
nemolizumab group were also statistically significantly greater than those observed in the 
placebo group.
According to the currently available information on nemolizumab and the risks 
associated with biologic agents in general, the important potential risks for nemolizumab 
include IRRs (including local injection site reaction as well as systemic injection 
reaction), newly-diagnosed or worsening of asthma, skin and non-skin infections, and 
exacerbation of AD. The following specific risk-minimization and safety follow-up 
measures have been planned in this clinical study:
a.
In the phase 2b dose-ranging study (RD.03.SPR.114322) in AD, a dose-dependent 
increase of asthma flares in subjects with pre-existing asthma was observed. The 
protocol will exclude subjects with asthma exacerbation requiring hospitalization in 
the preceding 12 months before screening, subjects whose asthma has not been well 
controlled (ie, symptoms > 2 days per week, nighttime awakenings 2 or more times 
per week, or some interference with normal activities) during the last 3 months before

the screening visit, Asthma Control Test (ACT) score ≤ 19, and subjects with peak 
expiratory flow (PEF) below 80% of the predicted value. At all visits, all subjects will 
be asked about respiratory changes and a respiratory examination will be performed. 
Peak expiratory flow measurements will be performed for all subjects at screening,
baseline, and at intervals throughout the study. For subjects with a history of asthma, 
PEF measurements and ACT will be administered at all visits. Subjects diagnosed 
with de novo asthma will perform PEF and ACT assessments at all visits starting with 
the visit in which the diagnosis was confirmed. Subjects with a medical history of 
asthma will be referred to the physician managing their asthma if ACT ≤ 19, PEF < 
80% of the predicted value, and/or unexpected worsening of asthma is observed or 
reported. Subjects without a medical history of asthma will be referred to a 
respiratory specialist if respiratory changes suggestive of asthma are observed or 
reported. An independent adjudication committee (IAC) will review all asthma AEs 
reported during the course of the study. 
b. The exclusion criteria of this clinical study (ie, restricting entry of subjects with 
recent/current infections or known/suspected immunosuppression or unusually 
frequent, recurrent, severe, or prolonged infections) will prevent non-eligible patients 
from receiving nemolizumab. As no data are available in pregnant or breastfeeding 
women, these patients are not eligible for this study. Patients who have recently 
received live or non-live vaccines may be considered for enrollment after an 
appropriate time has elapsed before baseline/Day 1. Administration of live vaccines is 
prohibited during the study. Administration of non-live vaccines is prohibited with 
the exception of seasonal, emergency, and COVID-19 vaccinations.
c.
A slight trend of dose-dependent increase of peripheral edema was reported in the 
nemolizumab phase 2a study (CIM003JG) for AD. Most events were mild (11 of 21), 
no case was serious, and none resulted in premature treatment discontinuation; no 
case was associated with renal or cardiac AEs. The EASI values and thymus and 
activation-regulated chemokine levels were relatively higher in subjects with 
peripheral edema indicating that peripheral edema might be related to more severe 
AD. There were a few subjects reporting peripheral edema in the phase 2b 
(RD.03.SPR.114322) study (2 [3.6%], 2 [3.6%], 4 [7%], and 2 [3.5%] in placebo, 10-

mg, 30-mg, and 90-mg groups, respectively). Peripheral edema will be followed as an 
AE of special interest (AESI) in this study.
d. An independent data monitoring committee (IDMC) will monitor the safety data 
regularly throughout the study, including AESIs, which were defined based on the 
currently available safety information on nemolizumab and the risks associated with 
biologic agents in general. AESIs for this study are:

IRRs
o
Anaphylactic reactions
o
Acute allergic reactions requiring treatment
o
Severe injection site reaction (ie, lasting > 24 hours)

Newly diagnosed asthma or worsening of asthma

Infections
o
Any severe infection or any infection requiring treatment with parenteral 
antibiotics or with oral antibiotics/antivirals/antifungals for > 2 weeks
o
Any confirmed or suspected coronavirus disease (COVID)-19 infection

Peripheral edema: limbs, bilateral

Facial edema

Elevated ALT or AST (> 3 × ULN) in combination with elevated bilirubin (> 2 × 
ULN)
In conclusion, when taking into consideration the currently available data of
nemolizumab and the risk-minimization approaches to be implemented, the benefit/risk
ratio of nemolizumab is considered to be favorable in this study.
DOSE SELECTION RATIONALE
The dose was selected based on the phase 2 study results contained in PN subjects
(RD.03.SPR.115828 ). PN subjects enrolled in the phase 2 study received a 0.5 mg/kg 
weight-based dose, administered every 4 weeks (Q4W), and successfully demonstrated 
efficacy in the treatment of PN with an acceptable safety profile. The same weight-based 
dose was administered in the phase 2a study CIM003JP in AD subjects, allowing a direct 
comparison between the two populations. Similarity in the PK profiles between subjects

with AD and subjects with PN was established, and no effect of disease on nemolizumab 
systemic exposure was identified.
This phase 3 study will utilize a flat dose. This fixed dose is considered safer and more
efficient as it avoids errors that could be made in calculating, preparing, and 
administering a weight-based dose. 
The switch from a body weight-based dose to a flat dose was supported by previous 
observed clinical data in subjects with AD. During the phase 2b study 
RD.03.SPR.114322 in AD subjects, a 30-mg flat dose (with 60-mg loading dose) 
administered Q4W provided the best benefit/risk ratio and produced a similar exposure 
compared to the 0.5 mg/kg dose used in the AD phase 2a study CIM003JG.
The switch from mg/kg to a flat dose was further supported by popPK and PK/PD 
modeling and simulation tools. PK/PD modelling was conducted using the two primary 
clinical efficacy endpoints, ie, PP NRS responder and IGA 0-1 success.
-
The PK/PD model for PP NRS were initially developed based on data from AD 
subjects, tested against observations of study RD.03.SPR.115828 and considered 
suitable to be used for modelling and simulation in PN populations. 
-
Conversely, due to the difference in IGA scale between the two indications (ie, PN 
and AD), a PN-specific model was built based on data from study 
RD.03.SPR.115828. 
Overall, the PopPK and PK/PD models were used to select a flat dose that produce 
similar systemic exposure and efficacy results than the ones observed in the phase 2 study
RD.03.SPR.115828.
Dose for subjects with a body weight below 90 kg:  The popPK and PK/PD modeling 
demonstrated that similar exposure and similar clinical efficacy are expected in this sub-
population after a 30-mg dose administered Q4W (with a loading dose of 60 mg at 
baseline) compared to the dose regimen used in the phase 2 study (0.5 mg/kg Q4W). 
Dose for subjects with a body weight superior or equal to 90 kg: The switch from a 
body weight-based dose (0.5 mg/kg) to a flat 30 mg dose (with a loading dose of 60 mg

at baseline) will produce a lower systemic exposure in the heavier subjects. The clinical 
relevance of this lower systemic exposure was assessed using PK/PD models. 
-
Simulations showed that no differences in PP NRS efficacy endpoint is expected for 
those subjects.
-
Simulations with the PN-specific model for the IGA endpoint showed a lower 
responder rate for those subjects after administration of the 30-mg dose with a 60-mg 
loading dose. The PK/PD model confirmed that IGA responder rate would be
comparable to that observed after 0.5 mg/kg administration when using a flat 60-mg 
dose without a loading dose. 
For this reason, a 60-mg dose without a loading dose will be used for subjects with a 
body weight superior or equal to 90 kg, in order to guarantee an IGA responder rate 
comparable with that obtained in the overall population in study RD.03.SPR.115828.
Of note, for subjects with a body weight superior or equal to 90 kg, PopPK simulation 
showed that a 60-mg dose will provide similar nemolizumab exposure with respect to 
that observed with the 0.5 mg/kg dose. Based on the similarity in systemic exposure 
between the 2 doses, no major change in the drug safety is expected in adults. 
Loading dose: Subcutaneous administration of nemolizumab results in slow absorption 
with peak serum concentrations achieved after 4 to 9 days. Plateau systemic exposure 
levels are achieved after at least 16 weeks of repeated monthly administrations. 
Therefore, loading doses are necessary to rapidly achieve targeted systemic levels, and to 
ensure a fast onset of action. Rapid inhibition of pruritus in PN is an important treatment 
goal in itself and is also expected to contribute to breaking the itch-scratch cycle and thus, 
to improve the skin condition in PN subjects. These outcomes were achieved in a phase 
2b study in AD subjects using a 60-mg loading dose (ie, 2 doses of 30 mg nemolizumab) 
at the baseline visit. No loading dose will be used for the subjects with a body weight 
superior or equal to 90 kg.

INVESTIGATIONAL PLAN
DESCRIPTION OF OVERALL STUDY DESIGN AND PLAN
This phase 3, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized, parallel-group
study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of nemolizumab in subjects with PN.
Considering a screen failure rate of 35-40%, 415-450 subjects will be screened so that 
approximately 270 adult subjects with PN will be randomized 2:1 to receive either 
nemolizumab (CD14152) or placebo. Subjects weighing < 90 kg at baseline will receive 
either 30 mg nemolizumab (with 60 mg loading dose at baseline) or placebo Q4W. 
Subjects weighing ≥90 kg at baseline will receive either 60 mg nemolizumab or placebo 
Q4W. Subjects will be stratified by study center and baseline body weight (< 90 kg and ≥
90 kg). Subjects will be enrolled in approximately 70 study centers in Europe, North 
America, and Asia Pacific.
Subjects’ participation in the study will be up to 36 weeks. The study consists of a 
screening period (up to 4 weeks), a 24-week treatment period, and an 8-week follow up 
period (12 weeks after the last study drug injection). Refer to Figure 2 for an overview of 
study design.
Following provision of written informed consent, subjects with PN will be screened for 
enrolment in the study. Eligible subjects will return for a baseline visit where, following 
randomization, they will be administered either 60 mg of nemolizumab or placebo via 2 
SC injections. Thereafter, study drug will be administered Q4W at Weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 
and 20 by a single SC injection of either nemolizumab 30 mg or placebo for subjects 
weighing < 90 kg at baseline or by two SC injections of either nemolizumab 30 mg or 
placebo for subjects weighing ≥90 kg at baseline. Refer to Table 3 for an overview of the 
study therapy. Efficacy and safety assessments will be performed at visits throughout the 
screening and treatment period, as outlined in the Schedule of Assessments (Table 5).
At the end of the 24-week treatment period, consenting subjects may be eligible to enter 
an active treatment/long-term extension (LTE) study (RD.06.SPR.202699). Subjects who 
participate in the LTE are not required to complete the follow-up visit. Subjects who do

not participate in the LTE will return for a follow-up visit at Week 32 (12 weeks after the 
last study drug injection).
Subjects who prematurely discontinue the study drug will be asked to continue 
participation in the study and return for all remaining visits and assessments (including 
daily assessment of pruritus and sleep disturbance). Subjects who discontinue study drug 
due to required rescue therapy may be eligible to participate in the LTE study following 
completion of study visits through Week 24. Subjects who discontinue the study 
prematurely should complete an early termination (ET) visit and a follow-up visit 12 
weeks after the last study drug injection.
An IDMC will review and monitor subject safety throughout the study, and an IAC will 
review all asthma-related events throughout the study. The IDMC and IAC charters 
provide details on the IDMC and IAC, including the plan of analysis for outputs; the 
composition of the committees; and procedures, roles, responsibilities and 
communications.

DISCUSSION OF STUDY DESIGN
This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of nemolizumab (CD14152) in adult 
subjects with PN. The rationale for the general study design is based upon the prior phase 
2a study design conducted in adult subjects with PN. The rationale for the nemolizumab 
dose/dose regimen is provided in Sections 5.2 and 5.4.
Eligible subjects for this clinical study will be adults with a clinical diagnosis (≥ 6 
months) of PN, manifested by pruriginous nodular lesions on the trunk and/or limbs, and 
at least 20 nodules bilaterally distributed on the entire body. The inclusion criterion for 
IGA is consistent with the disease severity targeted in the study: An IGA of 3 or 4 
corresponds to moderate or severe PN, respectively. Severe pruritus will be defined by 
PP NRS scores within the past 24 hours at screening and the mean PP NRS score during 
the previous week at baseline. Subjects with chronic pruritus due to other active 
conditions or unilateral pruriginous lesions are ineligible. Further, subjects must undergo 
specific required washout periods from restricted topical and systemic treatments before 
enrolling in the study. The study population is selected based on the current unmet need 
in the management of PN, the mode of action of nemolizumab (CD14152), and the need 
to understand the efficacy and safety of nemolizumab (CD14152) in the adult population
with PN.
As no approved medicine for PN exists with which to compare nemolizumab, a placebo-
controlled design was implemented in this study to allows blinding, randomization, and 
identical administration procedures to control for human bias or other influences on the 
disease (eg, natural disease course), while enabling demonstration of differences in 
clinical effect and safety profile of investigational treatment, if present. All subjects will 
have access to rescue medication to minimize risk and for ethical considerations. It is the 
position of the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) that, where 
ethical and feasible, a placebo control arm should be included in the pivotal trial(s) used 
to support marketing authorisation application.
A 16-week treatment period is considered adequate to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 
nemolizumab based on the results of the phase 2a study (RD.03.SPR.115828) in subjects 
with PN. A further 8-week treatment period is included to provide additional data as

requested by the European Medicines Agency for chronic diseases such as PN. All 
subjects who complete the treatment period (Week 24 visit) can be considered for LTE 
study eligibility. A 2-to-1 randomization is selected to minimize the number of subjects 
exposed to placebo for an extended period of time. 
Although the pathophysiology of PN is still not fully understood, the efficacy endpoints 
selected for the phase 3 trial are relevant to the underlying manifestations associated with 
the disease under study (ie, skin lesions, chronic itch, sleep disturbance, and quality of 
life impairment). The selected endpoints for assessing the safety and PK of nemolizumab 
(CD14152) are in accordance with current standards. Blinding subjects and the 
designated study team to the treatment assignment(s) helps ensure objectivity and 
minimize bias. Randomization through the Interactive Response Technology (IRT)
guards against selection bias.
The study includes an 8-week follow-up period (ie, 12 weeks after the last study drug 
injection) for subjects who decline or are not eligible to enroll in the LTE study. The 
duration of the follow-up period from the final nemolizumab dose (12 weeks) 
corresponds to approximately 5 half-lives of nemolizumab, which is considered adequate 
to ensure subject safety. The follow-up visit is not required for subjects who participate in 
the LTE, where the primary objective is long-term evaluation of safety.
Differences may be detectable during the study drug reconstitution process between 
active study drug and placebo but appear similar after reconstitution is complete 
(approximately 10 minutes). Throughout the study, a pharmacist (or other qualified 
personnel) will prepare study drug for injection, including confirmation of complete 
reconstitution, prior to delivery of study drug for injection. The pharmacist (or other 
qualified personnel) preparing study drug should not be involved with any study 
assessments and should not discuss any aspects of study drug reconstitution with the 
subject or study staff involved in subject interviews or study assessments.
The placebo-controlled design includes a provision for rescue therapy for pruritus, based 
on the investigator’s clinical judgment. Subjects requiring rescue therapy may be eligible 
for the LTE study but will be required to continue scheduled study visits until the Week 
24 visit before LTE eligibility will be assessed.

To avoid bias and to ensure the integrity of the blind, personnel directly involved with the 
ongoing conduct of the study from the Sponsor, contract research organization (CRO), or 
other investigational study centers will not have access to any information that may lead 
to unblinding.

If a subject is withdrawn from the study for any reason, the date and the reason for study 
withdrawal must be recorded on the electronic case report form (eCRF). Subjects who 
have been enrolled and treated will not be replaced by another subject. Once a subject is 
withdrawn from the study, the subject may not re-enter the study.
Subjects who prematurely discontinue from the study should undergo final study 
assessments and attend an Early Termination (ET) visit. Subjects should also complete a
follow-up visit 12 weeks after the last study drug administration.
Subjects who prematurely discontinue study drug will be encouraged to complete all 
remaining visits and assessments (including daily assessment of pruritus and sleep 
disturbance). 
Subjects requiring rescue medication (with or without study drug discontinuation) may be 
eligible for LTE participation, following completion of study visits through Week 24. 
Reasonable efforts will be made to contact subjects who are lost to follow-up. These 
efforts must be documented in the subject’s file.
In the event that a subject discontinues prematurely from the study because of a TEAE or 
serious TEAE, the TEAE or serious TEAE will be followed up until it resolves (returns to 
normal or baseline values) or stabilizes, or until it is judged by the investigator to no 
longer be clinically significant.
Additionally, the Sponsor may stop the study at any time for safety, regulatory, legal, or 
other reasons aligned with GCP. This study may be terminated at the discretion of the 
Sponsor or any regulatory agency. 
Pregnancy
Subjects will be instructed that known or suspected pregnancy occurring during the study 
should be confirmed and reported to the investigator. If a subject becomes pregnant, 
the investigator must withdraw the subject from the study without delay. The 
subject must not receive any further injection(s) of the study drug.

The investigator must:

Follow the procedures for reporting/follow-up of a pregnancy within 24 hours 
(see Section 12.7.7) of receipt of the information.

Complete as fully as possible the applicable Pregnancy Surveillance Form(s) (see 
Section 12.7.7).

Monitor and record the progress of the pregnancy until its outcome. Contact the 
subject’s regular physician (general practitioner or gynecologist) or hospital staff 
to obtain further details and ask for regular follow-up information.

Provide tri-monthly updates until the final outcome of the pregnancy. If the 
subject can no longer be reached (lost to follow-up), documentation of the non-
response/contact with 2 phone calls and a letter (certified with return receipt) is 
required.

If the pregnancy leads to an abortion (ie, voluntary abortion, spontaneous 
abortion, or therapeutic abortion), in utero death or congenital anomaly, follow 
the procedure for declaration of/reporting an SAE (Section 12.7.4). 
The investigator should also be notified of pregnancy occurring during the study (and 
within 12 weeks [± 5 days] after the last dose of study drug) but confirmed after 
completion of the study. In the event that a subject is subsequently found to be pregnant 
after inclusion in the study, any pregnancy will be followed to term, and the status of 
mother and child will be reported to the Sponsor after delivery.
Full details will be recorded on the withdrawal page (exit form), or an SAE report will be 
completed if the subject has completed the study. Pregnancy is not to be considered as an 
AE; however, it must be monitored and reported as described in Section 12.7.7.

COVID-19 Infection
Study drug administration will be discontinued in a subject in whom a COVID-19 
infection is confirmed or suspected. COVID-19 must be specified as the reason for study 
drug discontinuation.
Study drug administration may resume in subjects with confirmed or suspected COVID-
19 infection based on investigator judgement after discussion with the medical monitor or 
Sponsor and only if the following minimum conditions are met:

For symptomatic subjects: At least 14 days have passed since recovery, defined as 
resolution of fever without the use of fever-reducing medications and 
improvement in respiratory symptoms (eg, cough, shortness of breath)

For asymptomatic subjects: At least 21 days have passed since the positive 
PCR test and no symptoms.
Note: The above should be considered minimum criteria. Where the local 
guidelines are more stringent for infection resolution criteria, those must 
be applied.
See Appendix 2 for additional guidance for management of subjects and study conduct 
during the COVID-19 pandemic.

PACKAGING AND LABELING
All packaging and labeling operations will be performed according to Good 
Manufacturing Practice for Medicinal Products in the local language, national 
regulations/guidelines, and the relevant regulatory requirements, specifying that the drug 
is for use in a clinical study. Each DCS will be packaged in an individual carton, 
including a 27G 1/2” needle and a plunger rod (not assembled), and will be identified by 
a unique kit number. Local adaptation of the kit design may be required; specific details 
for each country are provided in the pharmacy manual.
STUDY DRUG PREPARATION
A pharmacist (or other qualified personnel) will prepare study drug for injection 
according to the instructions for use and instructions provided in the current version of 
the pharmacy manual. Study drug preparation should be conducted in a secured and clean 
area with limited access to only designated personnel at the time of the preparation. Good 
hygiene practices and clean techniques must apply at all times.
Differences may be detectable during the study drug reconstitution process between 
active and placebo, but active and placebo appear similar after reconstitution is complete 
(approximately 10 minutes). Throughout the study, a pharmacist (or other qualified 
personnel) will prepare study drug for injection, including confirmation of complete 
reconstitution, prior to delivery of study drug for injection. The pharmacist (or other

qualified personnel) preparing the study drug should not be involved with any study 
assessments and should not discuss any aspects of study drug reconstitution with the 
subject or study staff involved in subject interviews or study assessments.
The study drug does not contain preservatives. From a microbiological point of view, the 
preparation of the study drug has to be done as close to subject administration as possible, 
and the study drug should be used immediately (less than 1 hour) after reconstitution. If 
not used immediately, the study drug has to be used within 4 hours maximum after 
reconstitution stored at room temperature (below 30°C) and only if the preparation has 
taken place applying strictly good hygiene practices and clean techniques to ensure 
controlled aseptic conditions.
STUDY DRUG INJECTION/ADMINISTRATION
All study drug injections will occur at the study center, following instructions provided in 
the instructions for use and the current version of the pharmacy manual. After confirming 
that the study drug is fully reconstituted, the pharmacist (or other qualified personnel) 
will deliver the DCS to the investigator or other qualified personnel, for SC injection in 
the subject’s abdomen or an alternative injection site. A different injection site should be 
selected for each injection. Refer to the current version of the pharmacy manual and the 
instructions for use for further details. The site of injection should be recorded in the 
subject’s treatment record as well as the eCRF at each time point.
For subjects willing and able to self-inject, study center staff will provide training on 
study drug injections. Subjects will be allowed to inject medication following appropriate 
training and under supervision by study center clinic staff (with DCS preparation 
including reconstitution performed by the pharmacist or other qualified personnel and 
delivered for injection after reconstitution is complete). Study center/clinic staff can 
perform all injections if the subject does not wish to perform injections. The eCRF will 
record who performed study drug injection at each visit.
After study drug administration, subjects will be monitored closely for any signs or 
symptoms of hypersensitivity reaction before being discharged. For the first 2 visits

where study drug is administered, subjects should remain at the study center for at least 
30 minutes following study drug administration. 
STUDY DRUG MANAGEMENT
Storage of Study Drug
All DCS units must be stored together in a safe and secure area with restricted access. 
Upon receipt, the DCS must be removed from the shipping cooler, kept in the outer 
carton until use, and stored in a refrigerator between 2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F), protected 
from light, and protected from freezing.
The refrigerator must be monitored daily, and if a temperature excursion occurs, the 
designated personnel should promptly inform the study monitor, as specified in the 
current version of the pharmacy manual.
Study Drug Accountability
Study drug will be provided to the investigational site and site personnel will 
acknowledge receipt of the study drug using IRT to confirm the shipment condition and 
content. If a damaged shipment is received and/or a temperature excursion has been 
experienced, he/she will notify the Sponsor/contract research organization (CRO) and 
follow the guidelines according to the current version of the pharmacy manual.
The designated personnel will also maintain accurate records of the study drug 
throughout the clinical study, including the inventory delivered to the study center, the 
use by each subject, the reconciliation of all delivered and received DCS units, and the 
return/destruction of unused study drug as specified in the current version of the 
pharmacy manual. No unauthorized use is permitted. Used DCS units will be properly 
documented in drug accountability records. Unless a product technical complaint (PTC) 
is detected or an event occurs before, during, or just after the injection, the used DCS can 
be disposed in an appropriate sharps container and according to waste regulation(s) in the 
country. A DCS involved in a malfunction or an investigator or subject complaint must 
be retained on site and designated personnel must proceed as defined in the current 
version of the pharmacy manual. Refer to Section 9.6 for product technical complaints.

The study monitor may check the study supplies at each study center at any time during 
the study. It is the responsibility of the study monitor to ensure that the investigator (or 
designee) has correctly documented the amount of the study drug received, dispensed, 
and returned/destroyed on the dispensing log that will be provided. A full drug 
accountability log will be maintained at the study center at all times. The study monitor 
will arrange collection of any unused study drug not destroyed by the site. The study 
monitor will also perform an inventory of study drug at the close-out visit to the study 
center. All discrepancies must be accounted for and documented.
Dispensing and Return of Study Drug
All study drug preparation must be appropriately performed and documented by the 
designated personnel. Any error in the preparation of dosing solution must be reported to 
the study monitor promptly and be properly documented. At the end of the study, the 
reconciliation/return/destruction process for all unused study drug will be conducted 
according to the sites’ SOPs, local regulations, and best practices, as described in the 
current version of the pharmacy manual. If the site does not have the capability to destroy 
drug, then the unused study drug will be returned to the CRO/drug depot for destruction.
PRODUCT TECHNICAL COMPLAINTS
All DCS units, including the needle and plunger rod, must be inspected prior to 
preparation/injection by the persons performing the preparation/injection to ensure 
absence of visual defects that could lead to a DCS PTC. In case of doubt, the DCS should 
not be used, and the deficiency must be reported as defined in the pharmacy manual.
All PTCs should be reported to the Sponsor/designee by filing the relevant forms 
available in the Investigator Site File and the pharmacy manual and as required by local 
regulations. A PTC is any written, electronic, or oral communication that alleges 
deficiencies related to the identity, quality, reliability, safety, durability, effectiveness, or 
performance of a drug or delivery system. Examples may include but are not limited to 
appearance issues, discoloration, odor, broken/cracked syringe, missing parts, damaged 
stoppers, and foreign matter in lyophilized powder or diluent. These complaints may or 
may not represent a potential risk to the subject. For these types of events, a form must be

completed as per the specific instruction by the site personnel, pictures of the defective 
DCS/items must be attached, and forwarded to the Sponsor/designee at the latest on the 
next working day. Reporting to health authorities will be in accordance with local 
regulations. The defective DCS/items must be kept in case of investigation need as 
defined in the pharmacy manual and may be requested to be sent to the Sponsor/designee
in accordance with regulations.
Refer to the current version of the pharmacy manual for further details.
MEASURES TO MINIMIZE BIAS: STUDY TREATMENT ASSIGNMENT 
AND BLINDING 
Method of Study Treatment Assignment
Upon confirmation of eligibility for a given subject to participate in the study, a unique 
randomization number will be assigned to that subject via Interactive Response 
Technology (IRT). 
The randomization number for a given subject will be used to identify the treatment arm 
the subject will be assigned to.
Subjects will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive treatment of either nemolizumab 
(CD14152) or placebo. The randomization scheme will be stratified by the study site and 
baseline body weight (< 90 kg and ≥90 kg) using the IRT system.  
Study Blinding
All attempts will be made to keep the study center staff and subjects blinded throughout 
the study. Members of the study center staff, including those responsible for DCS 
preparation, will not have access to the randomized treatment assignment.
To ensure double-blind administration of study drug, the study center pharmacist(s) or 
other qualified personnel will prepare all nemolizumab (CD14152) or placebo treatments, 
according to the current version of the pharmacy manual and assigned DCS provided by 
the IRT system.
As there may be detectable differences between active and placebo during the 
reconstitution process, the DCS is delivered for injection after the reconstitution is

complete. The pharmacist (or other qualified personnel) preparing study drug should not 
be involved with any study assessments and should not discuss any aspects of study drug 
reconstitution with the subject or study staff involved in subject interviews or study 
assessments.
To maintain the integrity of the study blinding, the bioanalytical laboratory staff who 
process/analyze the PK/anti-drug antibody (ADA)/pharmacodynamic (PD)/ 
pharmacogenomic (PGx) samples will not provide any information to the Sponsor, CRO, 
or investigational study center personnel directly involved with the ongoing conduct of 
the study that may lead to unblinding during the ongoing study. PK and ADA results will 
released by the bioanalytical laboratory after data base lock. 
Unblinding of a subject’s individual treatment code should occur only in case of a 
medical emergency or in the event of a serious medical condition that necessitates 
identification of the study drug for the welfare of that subject, as judged by the 
investigator. The emergency unblinding process utilizes IRT to allow the investigator to 
have unrestricted, immediate, and direct access to the subject’s individual study 
treatment. When possible (ie, when the health of the subject is not immediately at risk), 
the investigator or sub-investigator is encouraged to consult with the medical monitor and 
the Sponsor before breaking the blind.
If emergency unblinding is required:
•
Only the investigator will make the decision to unblind the treatment assignment.
•
Only the affected subject will be unblinded.
•
The IRT system will provide the treatment assignment to the investigator.
Refer to the Randomization and Trial Supply Management (RTSM) User Guide for 
information on the steps for breaking the blind in the IRT system.
When the blinding code is broken, the reason must be fully documented. If the code is 
broken by the investigator, the subject must be withdrawn from the study and must also 
be appropriately followed for a minimum of 12 weeks after the last dose of study drug.
The reporting requirements for unblinding are the same for reporting an SAE. See also 
Section 12.7.4.

The randomization code will remain blinded to all study sites and study team members 
until completion of the study and after the study database has been locked.
The IDMC will review data at periodic intervals throughout the study as defined in the 
IDMC charter. The IDMC charter will specify the procedures for unblinding to ensure
treatment assignment remains undisclosed to all individuals involved in the direct 
execution and management of the study until the final database is locked.
DOSAGE MODIFICATION
Dose modification of the study drug will not be permitted during the clinical study.
Any inadvertent dose modification(s) should be reported to the Sponsor/CRO and 
documented in the eCRF.
In the event of a missed dose (ie, temporary discontinuation of the study drug), it will be 
documented in the eCRF that the drug has not been administered at the study visit, 
together with the reason (eg, for safety). Subjects will be asked to return to the study 
centers for all remaining visits and complete all study assessments and procedures as 
described in the Schedule of Assessments (Table 5).
Dosing frequency is scheduled for Q4W, based on the baseline/Day 1 visit date. If a 
study visit occurs outside the visit window defined in the Schedule of Assessments
(Table 5), study drug can still be administered provided there is a minimum of 3 weeks 
but not more than 5 weeks since the last injection. If beyond 5 weeks, the next injection 
should then occur at the next planned visit. Future visits should be scheduled as soon as 
possible and within the required windows based on the baseline/Day 1 visit date, while 
maintaining the minimum 3-week interval between 2 injections.
TREATMENT COMPLIANCE
Treatment compliance will be assessed through the treatment records and drug 
dispensation logs.
As study drug is administered in the clinic, treatment compliance will be overseen and 
documented by the investigator and study staff (using the treatment records and drug 
accountability records). At a minimum, date, time, dose, injector (subject or site staff),

and site of injection should be accurately recorded to confirm that each dose of study 
treatment was properly administered.
PRIOR AND CONCOMITANT THERAPY
Prior therapies are defined as therapies that have been stopped within the 3 months before 
the screening visit, unless relevant to the inclusion/exclusion criteria. Whenever possible, 
all prior therapies for PN should be documented.
Concomitant therapies/medications are defined as follows:

Any existing therapies ongoing at the time of the screening visit,

Any changes to existing therapies (such as changes in dose, formulation or 
application frequency) during the course of the study, or

Any new therapies received by the subject since the screening visit
The following 2 categories are to be considered for prior and concomitant therapies:

Drugs/Therapies include but are not limited to: prescription, over-the-counter, 
birth control pills/patches/hormonal devices, vitamins, moisturizers, sunscreens, 
herbal medicines/supplements, and homeopathic preparations.

Medical and surgical procedures (eg, phototherapy, exodontia, etc); procedures 
whose sole purpose is diagnosis (non-therapeutic) are not included.
Prior and concomitant therapies for drugs/therapies or for medical/surgical procedures are 
to be recorded in the appropriate eCRF.
Concomitant therapies are to be recorded, reviewed, and updated at each visit.
At each visit, investigators should also confirm concomitant therapies for contraception.
See Appendix 1 for details. Contraceptive counseling should occur at screening.
Any new concomitant therapy or modification of an existing therapy may be linked to an 
AE. In such cases, a corresponding AE form should be completed to account for the new 
therapy or change in therapy, except in some cases such as an inadvertent dose

modification (see Section 9.8), in which case the therapy/medication will be linked to an 
item in the subject’s medical history.
Permitted Concomitant Therapy
Unless specified as prohibited therapies (see Section 9.10.3), all therapies are authorized, 
including basic skin care (cleansing and bathing), moisturizers, bleach baths, and topical 
anesthetics.
Starting from the screening visit, subjects can use their daily moisturizer, if it does not 
contain any compound with known anti-itch effect (eg, menthol, polidocanol, etc.). 
Subjects should not change emollients or moisturizers or apply products for itching relief 
during the course of the study.
Sedatives and antidepressants as described in Table 4 are allowed if they have been 
administrated for at least 3 months at a stable dose before screening baseline and dose 
changes are not planned during the study.
The formation of cytochrome P450 (CYP450) metabolic enzymes can be altered by 
increased levels of certain cytokines (eg, IL-1, IL-6, IL-10) during chronic inflammation. 
Treatment with a biologic agent with an anti-inflammatory effect such as nemolizumab
may indirectly upregulate CYP450 expression by decreasing cytokine levels. Although 
there is no known evidence suggesting that IL-31 affects the level or activity of CYP450 
enzymes, the impact of nemolizumab (CD14152) on such enzymes has not been studied. 
Therefore, investigators should consider observing for clinical or laboratory signs that 
might indicate a potential effect of nemolizumab (CD14152) in subjects using 
concomitant therapies that are CYP450 substrates, particularly those with a narrow 
therapeutic index. Typical examples of substrates with a narrow therapeutic range include 
warfarin, drugs that may cause torsade de pointes, almost all cytotoxic antineoplastic 
drugs, and aminoglycoside antibiotics. A list of representative CYP450 substrates with 
narrow therapeutic index can be found in Appendix 3.

Rescue Therapy
If deemed to be medically necessary by the investigator (eg, to control intolerable PN
signs/symptoms), rescue therapies can be prescribed to the subjects. 
Rescue therapy must not be prescribed during the screening period.
As a general guideline and per individual investigator judgment, rescue therapy should 
not be prescribed within the first 4 weeks after baseline to allow a minimum time for 
study drug exposure.
Rescue therapies include:

Topical corticosteroids

Topical calcineurin inhibitors

Oral antihistamines

Systemic or intralesional corticosteroids

Biologics (including their biosimilars)

Systemic nonsteroidal immunosuppressants/immunomodulators

Phototherapy

Gabapentinoids
Whenever possible, investigators should first use topical medication or oral 
antihistamines as rescue therapy before escalating to other systemic therapies. If subjects 
receive topical treatments, oral antihistamines, or ultraviolet B (UVB) phototherapy as 
rescue therapy, study drug administration should be continued unless there is a concern 
according to the investigator’s judgment. If subjects receive systemic rescue therapy 
(other than oral antihistamines), intralesional corticosteroids, or oral psoralen + 
ultraviolet A (PUVA) treatment, the study drug administration must be permanently 
discontinued. In the event study drug administration is discontinued due to receipt of 
systemic rescue therapy, subjects will be encouraged to complete the remaining 
scheduled study visits according to the Schedule of Assessments in Table 5. Subjects who 
complete the Week 24 visit may be eligible to participate in the LTE if screening criteria 
are met.

For the purpose of efficacy analysis, subjects receiving any rescue therapies will be 
considered as treatment failures. Investigator assessments of efficacy should be 
performed before initiating rescue therapy. Subjects requiring rescue therapy between 
scheduled visits should return to the clinic (unscheduled visit) for investigator assessment 
of efficacy before starting rescue therapy. Further, the use of any rescue therapies should 
be documented in the eCRF.

* Unless used as rescue therapy during the study.
Note: Subjects should not interrupt ongoing treatment with medications important for the subject’s health 
for the sole purpose of participating in this study.
If a prohibited therapy becomes necessary for the safety of the subject, the investigator 
should notify the medical monitor and discuss possible alternatives. If a subject receives a 
prohibited therapy during the clinical study (eg, inadvertent short-term use), the 
investigator should also notify the medical monitor and discuss whether or not it is 
acceptable for the subject to continue receiving the study drug.
Specifically, the use of systemic corticosteroids during the study is prohibited except 
when used as rescue therapy for PN (in accordance with the instructions in 
Section 9.10.2). If the use of systemic corticosteroids becomes necessary for the safety of 
the subject to treat condition(s) other than PN, the study drug should be temporarily 
discontinued for the duration of treatment with systemic corticosteroids plus 5 half-lives.
It is recommended that all subjects should be up to date with respect to standard of care 
vaccinations as defined by the local guidance. For subjects who have vaccination planned 
during the study, it will be determined after consultation with the treating physician, 
whether the administration of vaccine can be postponed until after the end of study, or 
preponed to before the start of the study, without compromising the health of the subject.

Screening visit must be performed at least 7 days prior to Day 1 visit. Subjects deemed eligible will be provided with electronic handheld devices.
b)
Subjects will complete PGIS-P, PGIC-P, PGIS-SD, PGIC-SD, and PGAD assessments at Week 1 (ie, 7 days after the Day 1/Baseline visit) for test-
retest validation of itch and sleep PRO measures. 
c)
The follow-up visit will be conducted for subjects who decline or are not eligible to enter the LTE study (including early termination) and should be 
conducted 12 weeks after the last study drug injection. (The follow-up visit is not required for subjects who will rollover to the LTE study.)
d)
Assessments to be conducted at the unscheduled visit depend on the reason for the visit. PK and ADA analyses are required only at unscheduled visits 
that are conducted for safety reasons. Subjects requiring rescue therapy between scheduled visits should return to the clinic for an unscheduled visit for 
investigator assessments of efficacy before starting rescue therapy. See Section 10.2.1 for details.
e)
SD NRS and sleep diary questions to be recorded by subjects once daily in the morning and if possible, within 1 hour of getting out of bed (Visit 
1/Screening through Visit 8/Week 24). PP NRS and AP NRS to be recorded by subjects once daily in the evening (Visit 1/Screening through Visit 
8/Week 24), beginning after the screening visit. On designated visits, PGIS-SD and PGIC-SD should be recorded after the SD NRS and sleep diary in 
the morning; PGIS-P and PGIC-P should be recorded after the PP NRS and AP NRS in the evening. 
f)
Pruritus assessments scheduled for clinic visit days that are recorded by subjects in the evening (ie, PP NRS, AP NRS, PGIS-P, PGIC-P) will be 
recorded the evening before the clinic visit.
g)
Patient-reported outcome assessments and designated safety measurements should occur before investigator assessments, laboratory sample collections, 
and study drug administration.
h)
Optional for consenting subjects and only for selected equipped sites; see Section 11.8 for details on clinical photographs.

testing beginning from de novo diagnosis and at all subsequent scheduled visits.
j)
PEF testing will be performed for all subjects at screening, baseline, Week 8, Week 16, Week 24, and follow-up visits. For subjects reporting a medical 
history of asthma, PEF testing will be performed at all visits during the clinical study. For subjects diagnosed with de novo asthma, PEF testing will be 
performed at all visits, starting with the visit in which the diagnosis was confirmed. Subjects should be asked to withhold asthma medication on study 
visit days until after PEF testing is complete, to the extent it does not pose an undue risk to the subject. See Section 12.6.3 for details. 
k)
12-lead ECGs should be performed in the supine position, before any scheduled vital sign measurements and blood draws. See Section 12.4.
l)
In case of indeterminate result for TB test, the test should be repeated (only 1 retest is allowed). If the test is still indeterminate, the subject must not be 
included in the study, unless subject has a documented history of completion of an appropriate TB treatment regimen with no history of re-exposure to 
TB since their treatment was completed.
m) Subjects should be well hydrated and fast for at least 8 hours before the visit(s) when blood chemistry testing is planned, except for the screening visit.

Subjects weighing < 90 kg at baseline will receive a loading dose on Day 1 (ie, 2 injections of nemolizumab 30 mg or placebo) then single injections of 
either 30 mg nemolizumab or placebo Q4W. Subjects weighing ≥90 kg at baseline will receive either 60 mg nemolizumab or placebo via 2 injections 
Q4W at all study visits.
u)
Study drug reconstitution will be performed by the pharmacist (or other qualified personnel) throughout the study, and complete reconstitution 
confirmed, prior to delivery for injection. Study center staff will provide study drug injection training for subjects willing and able to self-inject study 
drug. Based on the subject’s preference, study center staff can also perform all injections.
v)
After study drug administration, subjects will be monitored closely for any signs or symptoms of hypersensitivity reaction before being discharged. For 
the first 2 visits where study drug is administered, subjects should remain at the study center for at least 30 minutes following study drug administration. 
w) If a study visit occurs outside the visit window, study drug injection(s) can still be administered provided there is a minimum of 3 weeks but not more 
than 5 weeks since the last injection. If beyond 5 weeks, the next study drug injection should then occur at the next planned visit. Future visits should be 
scheduled as soon as possible and within the required windows based on the baseline/Day 1 visit date, while maintaining the minimum 3-week interval 
between 2 injections.

Unscheduled Visit
The subject should be reminded to adhere to the study schedule. Unscheduled visits are 
defined as visits to repeat testing for abnormal laboratory results, for follow-up of AEs, or
to conduct efficacy assessments for subjects requiring rescue medication between 
regularly scheduled study visits. Visits occurring outside of the visit window are not 
considered unscheduled visits.
Assessments to be conducted at the unscheduled visit will depend on the reason for the 
visit. Any of the procedures/assessments listed in Table 5 may be conducted, but not all 
are required. However, blood sample collection for PK and ADA analyses are required 
only during unscheduled visits that are conducted for safety reasons.

EFFICACY ASSESSMENTS
The Schedule of Assessments (Table 5) outlines the efficacy assessments to be performed 
throughout the study and their timing. Whenever possible, the same evaluator should 
perform all assessments for the same subject in order to reduce intra-subject variability. 
INVESTIGATOR GLOBAL ASSESSMENT
The IGA is a 5-point scale used by the investigator or trained designee to evaluate the 
global severity of PN. The Investigator will review the subject’s skin and give a score of 
0 (Clear), 1 (Almost clear), 2 (Mild), 3 (Moderate), or 4 (Severe). Treatment 
response/success is defined as 0 (Clear) or 1 (Almost clear) and a ≥ 2-point improvement
from baseline (see Appendix 4).
PRURIGO ACTIVITY SCORE
The Investigator or designee will use the PAS as an evaluation of the disease. This 
includes a count of the number of lesions in a representative area and a calculated staging 
(stage 0 to stage 4) based on the percentage of lesions with excoriations/crusts and healed 
lesions compared to all lesions. 
A copy of the PAS can be found in Appendix 5.
NUMERIC RATING SCALES
Itch/Pruritus Numeric Rating Scales
Two NRSs relating to itch/pruritus (average and maximum intensity) will be completed 
by the subject once daily in the evening (see Appendix 6).32 Each NRS will ask for a unit 
score on an 11-point scale (0 to10) where 0 is “no itch” and 10 is the “worst itch 
imaginable”. The 2 questions asked will be:

For average itch intensity (AP NRS): “On a scale of 0 to 10, with 0 being “no 
itch” and 10 being the “worst itch imaginable”, how would you rate your itch 
overall during the previous 24 hours?”

Page 94 of 185

For maximum itch intensity (PP NRS): “On a scale of 0 to 10, with 0 being “no 
itch” and 10 being the “worst itch imaginable”, how would you rate your itch at 
the worst moment during the previous 24 hours?”
If a subject does not complete the NRS assessments in the evening before a scheduled 
visit, the subject will be allowed to complete the assessment the following day at the 
clinic visit. Site staff will be asked to ensure that the answer to the second question (PP 
NRS) is equal to or higher than the answer to the first question (AP NRS). If it is not,
then further explanation will be given to the subject.
Sleep Disturbance Numeric Rating Scale
An NRS relating to sleep disturbance will be completed by the subject once daily in the 
morning and if possible, within 1 hour of getting out of bed, to report the degree of their 
sleep loss related to PN (see Appendix 7). Each NRS will ask for a unit score on an 11-
point scale (0-10). The question asked will be “On a scale of 0 to 10, with 0 being “no 
sleep loss related to the symptoms of my skin disease (prurigo nodularis)” and 10 being 
“I did not sleep at all due to the symptoms of my skin disease (prurigo nodularis)”, how 
would you rate your sleep last night?”
If a subject does not complete the SD NRS in the morning before a scheduled visit, the 
subject will be allowed to complete the assessment at the clinic visit.
SUBJECT SLEEP DIARY
Subjects will be given a morning sleep diary to record the quality of their sleep. See
Appendix 8. The subject sleep diary is a modification of the consensus sleep diary,33 and 
is designed to gather information about the subject’s sleep pattern and how symptoms 
related to PN (eg, itching, burning) affect their sleep. Subject sleep diary items used to 
derive sleep parameters (eg, sleep onset latency, WASO) are defined in Appendix 8.
Subjects will be instructed to complete the sleep diary (Questions 1 to 11) once daily in
the morning (ie, within 1 hour of getting out of bed), with the daily SD NRS
(Appendix 7). If a subject does not complete the sleep diary in the morning before a 
scheduled visit, the subject will be allowed to complete the assessment at the clinic visit.

PAIN FREQUENCY AND INTENSITY 
Subjects will be asked to report the frequency and intensity of pain they endure related to 
their skin disease (prurigo nodularis) (see Appendix 9). Subjects will rate the frequency 
of their pain on a 6-point scale (0-5) in response to the following question:

“How often would you say that you experience pain from your skin disease (prurigo 
nodularis)?” 
Subjects will rate the intensity of their pain using an 11-point NRS (0-10) in response to 
the following question:

“On a scale of 0 to 10, with 0 being “no pain” and 10 being “the worst unbearable 
pain”, how would you rate the pain associated with your skin disease (prurigo 
nodularis) at the worst moment during the past week?”
PATIENT-REPORTED OUTCOMES ASSESSMENTS
Patient Global Assessment of Disease 
For the PGAD, subjects will be asked to rate their overall impression of their skin disease 
(prurigo nodularis) severity using a 5-point scale from “clear” to “severe” (see
Appendix 10). Subjects will be asked the following question:

“Overall, how would you describe your skin disease (prurigo nodularis) right 
now?”
The PGAD will also serve as an anchor for the patient-reported outcome (PRO) 
psychometric validation.
Patient Global Assessment of Treatment 
The PGAT utilizes a 5-point Likert scale for subjects to rate the way they feel their skin 
disease (prurigo nodularis) is responding to the study treatment. See Appendix 11.
Subjects will be asked the following question:

“How would you rate the way your skin disease (prurigo nodularis) responded to the 
study medication?”
Patient Global Impression of Severity - Pruritus
For the PGIS-P, subjects will be asked to rate their impression of their overall itch 
severity during the last week using a 5-point scale from “none” to “very severe”
(Appendix 12). Subjects will record their PGIS-P scores in the evening after completing 
the Pruritus (PP and AP) NRS (Appendix 6). If a subject does not complete the PGIS-P in 
the evening before a scheduled visit, the subject will be allowed to complete the 
assessment the following day at the clinic visit. The PGIS-P will serve as an anchor for 
the PRO psychometric validation. 
Patient Global Impression of Change - Pruritus
The PGIC-P utilizes a 5-point Likert scale (from “much better” to “much worse”) for 
subjects to rate their impression of how their overall itch has changed since beginning 
study drug. See Appendix 13. Subjects will record their PGIC-P scores in the evening 
after completing the Pruritus (PP and AP) NRS (Appendix 6). If a subject does not 
complete the PGIC-P in the evening before a scheduled visit, the subject will be allowed 
to complete the assessment the following day at the clinic visit. The PGIC-P will serve as 
an anchor for the PRO psychometric validation. 
Patient Global Impression of Severity - Sleep Disturbance
For the PGIS-SD, subjects will be asked to rate their impression of the severity of their 
sleep disturbance due to the symptoms of PN during the past week using a 5-point scale 
from “none” to “very severe” (See Appendix 14). Subjects will record their PGIS-SD 
score in the morning after completing the SD NRS and Subject Sleep Diary (Appendix 7
and Appendix 8, respectively). If a subject does not complete the PGIS-SD in the 
morning before a scheduled visit, the subject will be allowed to complete the assessment 
at the clinic visit. The PGIS-SD will serve as an anchor for the PRO psychometric 
validation.

Patient Global Impression of Change - Sleep Disturbance
The PGIC-SD utilizes a 5-point Likert scale for subjects to rate their impression of how 
their overall sleep disturbance, due to the symptoms of their skin disease (prurigo 
nodularis), has changed since beginning study drug (see Appendix 15). Subjects will 
record their PGIC-SD score in the morning after completing the SD NRS and Sleep Diary
(Appendix 7 and Appendix 8, respectively). If a subject does not complete the PGIC-SD 
in the morning before a scheduled visit, the subject will be allowed to complete the 
assessment at the clinic visit. The PGIC-SD will serve as an anchor for the PRO 
psychometric validation. 
QUALITY OF LIFE QUESTIONNAIRES
Dermatology Life Quality Index
The DLQI is a validated 10-item questionnaire covering domains including 
symptoms/feelings, daily activities, leisure, work/school, personal relationships, and 
treatment (see Appendix 16).34
The subject will rate each question ranging from 0 (not at all) to 3 (very much). A higher 
total score indicates a poorer QoL. 
Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale
The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) is a 14-question validated
questionnaire completed by the subject.35 Each question has a multiple choice answer 
which is scored between 0 and 3. Questions are identified as relating to anxiety (A) or 
depression (D) and a summation for each area is performed leading to a total score of 0 to 
21 for each area. Scores of 0 to 7 are considered normal, 8 to 10 are borderline, and ≥ 11 
indicates clinical effects.
A copy of the HADS can be found in Appendix 17.
EuroQoL 5 Dimension Instrument
The EQ-5D instrument is a validated questionnaire, completed by the subject that 
consists of 2 parts. The first part consists of 5 multiple choice QoL questions and the

second is a 100 point VAS scale with 0 being “Worst imaginable health state” and 100 
being “Best imaginable health state”.
A copy of the EQ-5D can be found in Appendix 18.
CLINICAL PHOTOGRAPHS
The optional clinical photography assessment will take place at selected equipped study 
centers. Subjects will be asked to provide separate consent to be involved in this section 
of the study. Declining to participate in this section of the study will not affect subject 
involvement in the main part of the study.
The Investigator or designee will be asked to take clinical photographs of the entire 
subject’s body on 2 occasions throughout the study. Additional details will be provided in 
the photographic manual.

SAFETY ASSESSMENTS
Safety assessments (vital signs, physical examinations, ECG recording, AEs, respiratory 
examination and assessments, and clinical laboratory results [routine hematology and 
biochemistry]) are to be performed at protocol-specified visits, beginning at the screening 
visit (upon signing the ICF), as specified in the Schedule of Assessments (Table 5).
VITAL SIGNS
Vital signs will be evaluated at all visits, as indicated in the Schedule of Assessments 
(Table 5). Vital signs will include pulse rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure (after 
the subject has been sitting for at least 5 minutes), and body temperature. All abnormal 
values at the screening visit identified as clinically significant by the investigator will be 
recorded in the medical history form. Any clinically significant changes from the 
screening visit (and onwards) will be recorded as an AE. 
HEIGHT AND WEIGHT
Height and weight will be measured according to the Schedule of Assessments (Table 5).
PHYSICAL EXAMINATION
Complete physical examination should be performed at the screening, baseline, and 
specified subsequent scheduled visits, according to the Schedule of Assessments 
(Table 5). A complete physical examination will include assessments of the head, ears, 
eyes, nose, throat, neck (including thyroid), skin/integumentary system, cardiovascular 
system, respiratory system (for additional respiratory assessments, see Section 12.6), 
gastrointestinal system, musculoskeletal system, lymph nodes, nervous system, and 
extremities.
The investigator should assess all abnormal findings for clinical significance. All 
clinically significant abnormal findings at the screening visit will be recorded in the 
medical history form. Any clinically significant changes from the screening visit will be 
recorded as an AE.

12-LEAD ELECTROCARDIOGRAM
A 12-lead, resting ECG will be performed and read centrally according to visits indicated 
in the Schedule of Assessments (Table 5) using the ECG machine provided. ECGs for 
each subject should be obtained using the electrocardiograph machine provided for the 
study. ECGs will be performed in the supine position and before any scheduled vital sign 
measurements and blood draws. Subjects should be monitored for potentially clinically 
significant ECG results (refer to the current version of the central laboratory manual). 
Tests with abnormal results that are deemed clinically significant should be repeated to
ensure reproducibility of the abnormality. ECG abnormalities present at screening should 
be recorded in the medical history form. Any abnormalities considered by the 
investigator to be clinically significant after the screening visit are to be recorded as AEs 
and discussed with the medical monitor, as needed.
CLINICAL LABORATORY EVALUATION
The hematology laboratory analyses, clinical chemistry laboratory analyses, and 
urinalyses will be performed at a central laboratory. Reference ranges will be supplied by 
the central laboratory and used by the investigator to assess the laboratory data for 
clinical significance and pathological changes.
The investigator or medically qualified sub-investigator must review and evaluate 
laboratory values for each subject in a timely manner. Study centers should refer to the 
current version of the laboratory manual for laboratory values outside of normal limits. 
For each out-of-range laboratory result, the investigator or designee will evaluate whether 
he/she considers it to be clinically significant, defined as meeting at least 1 of the 
following conditions:

The abnormality suggests a disease and/or organ toxicity, or 

The abnormality is of a degree that requires additional active management, eg, 
discontinuation of the drug, close observation, more frequent follow-up 
assessments, or further diagnostic investigation.

Page 101 of 185
If the investigator observes a clinically significant laboratory result, the test will be 
repeated as soon as possible and the subject will be monitored until the value returns to 
normal and/or an adequate explanation for the abnormality is found.
Investigators will also be allowed to repeat specific laboratory test(s) or procedure(s) 
where the investigator suspects an inaccuracy or false result and that may impact the 
safety of the subject or the interpretation of the trial results. This should occur only after 
discussion with medical monitor.
All clinically significant out-of-range laboratory values at the screening visit will be 
recorded in the medical history form (report a diagnosis rather than the laboratory value 
whenever possible). All clinically significant out-of-range laboratory values after the 
screening visit are to be reported as an AE if this abnormality was not present at the 
screening visit or is assessed as having worsened since the screening visit (ie, changed 
significantly from the screening visit). Whenever possible, the investigator should 
provide a diagnosis of an AE when reporting the abnormal laboratory value. See Section 
12.7 for details. 
Subjects should be reminded to be well hydrated before all visits for phlebotomy 
purposes. Subjects should fast for at least 8 hours before the visits when blood chemistry 
testing is planned, except for the screening visit. The screening visit laboratory values 
must be available before the baseline visit. Laboratory testing conducted in a nonfasting 
state will not be a protocol deviation.
Total blood volumes to be drawn at each visit are provided in the clinical laboratory 
manual. Additional samples may be required if medically indicated (eg, at unscheduled 
visits for safety reasons, when an abnormal laboratory value is observed and requires a 
re-test).
Laboratory assessment samples are to be obtained at designated visits as detailed in the 
Schedule of Assessments (Table 5).

Hematology
The hematology tests include: hemoglobin, hematocrit, white blood cell count (with 
differential including eosinophils), red blood cell count, platelet count, and mean cell 
volume.
Clinical Chemistry
The clinical chemistry tests include: creatinine, AST, ALT, gamma glutamyltransferase, 
alkaline phosphatase, lactate dehydrogenase, total bilirubin, direct bilirubin, albumin, 
total protein, uric acid, sodium, potassium, calcium, chloride, glucose, urea, total 
cholesterol, triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein, high-density lipoprotein, creatine 
phosphokinase (CPK). CPK isoenzyme test will be performed only if CPK is elevated to 
> 2.5 × ULN. The investigator should also contact the medical monitor in such situations.
For postmenopausal subjects (ie, no menses for 12 consecutive months), postmenopausal 
status will be confirmed with a high follicle-stimulating hormone level in the 
postmenopausal range.
Urinalysis
The urinalysis tests include: pH, glucose, ketones, blood, protein, leukocytes, nitrites, 
bilirubin, urobilinogen, and specific gravity.
Pregnancy Testing
All women of childbearing potential will have a serum pregnancy test at the screening 
visit and UPTs at subsequent visits according to the Schedule of Assessments (Table 5). 
Pregnancy test results must be available prior to the administration of the study drug.
Subjects with a positive serum pregnancy test result at screening must not be enrolled.
Urine pregnancy tests with a sensitivity < 25 IU/L will be provided to the study centers 
for use in the trial.
UPTs will be performed at the study centers, and all other samples will be sent to central 
laboratory for analysis.

no study drug should be administered pending the serum pregnancy test result. Subjects 
with a positive serum pregnancy test result during the trial must discontinue treatment 
and be withdrawn from the trial.
Virology
Virology including HBsAg, HBcAb, hepatitis C, human immunodeficiency virus 1, and 
human immunodeficiency virus 2 antibodies will be assessed at the screening visit. 
Subjects with a positive HBcAb and a negative HBsAg will also be assessed for hepatitis 
B surface antibody. Subjects with positive HCV antibodies will have a confirmatory test 
for HCV (eg, PCR).
Tuberculosis Testing
Immunosuppressant biologic treatments have been shown to increase the risk of TB 
infection or to cause conversion from latent to active TB in some circumstances. Subjects 
will be screened for active or latent TB before entry into this study.
12.5.6.1 Tuberculosis Definitions
Active TB is a disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis in any part of the body and 
that is in an active state as determined by either a smear or culture taken from any source 
in the person’s body which tests positive for TB or by radiographic evidence. Individuals 
with active TB are symptomatic, depending upon the location of the disease (most 
commonly in the lungs but also possibly in the brain, kidneys, spine, or elsewhere), and 
can spread the infection to others.
Latent TB is said to exist when an individual is infected with M tuberculosis, as 
evidenced by a positive Interferon Gamma Release Assay36 such as QuantiFERON-TB 
Gold, but is asymptomatic and has no evidence of active infection on screening pathology 
or radiographic tests. Such individuals do not pass the disease to others and should 
commence a course of prophylactic antimycobacterial treatment to eliminate the infection 
and commit to completing the course of treatment.

12.5.6.2 Tuberculosis Screening
Ideally, as part of the medical history, the subject should be asked if they have presented 
with active or latent TB in the past and whether they have received a bacillus Calmette-
Guérin (BCG) vaccination. They should also be asked if they have been in contact with 
any individuals known to have active TB or been placed in any circumstances that may 
have exposed them to an increased risk of TB infection, such as travel to TB endemic 
regions, close contact with persons with active TB, or workplace risk (eg, prison, 
hospitals).
A subject who tests positive for latent TB (with a positive QuantiFERON-TB Gold test) 
should be referred to the subject’s treating physician for appropriate follow-up, unless the 
subject has a documented history of completion of an appropriate TB treatment regimen 
with no history of re-exposure to TB since their treatment was completed. If the result is 
indeterminate, the test may be repeated once. If confirmed indeterminate, the subject 
should then be managed as though he/she has a positive test result.
RESPIRATORY ASSESSMENTS
At screening, the investigator should specifically question all subjects about any medical 
history of asthma and their respiratory health (eg, wheezing, coughing, allergies, and 
infections). Subjects with a history of asthma will be questioned about the seasonality of 
their asthma and known triggers, such as allergens. Newly-diagnosed asthma or 
worsening of asthma during the study will be reported as an AESI.
Asthma Control Test
Subjects with a medical history of asthma will take the ACT at visits according to the 
Schedule of Assessments (Table 5) before questioning and physical examination by the 
investigator. Subjects with a new (de novo) diagnosis of asthma will take the ACT 
beginning at the visit the diagnosis was first confirmed and thereafter, at all subsequent 
study visits. Subjects with an ACT score ≤ 19 will be referred to the physician managing 
their asthma.

The ACT is an assessment to determine if a subject’s asthma symptoms are well 
controlled. The ACT is designed for adults and adolescents 12 years or older, and is 
composed of 5 questions. For each question, the subject will choose the best answer out 
of 5 possible answers. The test provides a numerical score ranging from 5 to 25 to assess 
asthma control; a higher score indicates better asthma control while a score of 19 or less 
indicates the subject’s asthma may not be under control. A copy of the ACT can be found 
in Appendix 19.
Respiratory Examination
A respiratory examination will be required to be performed for all subjects at all 
scheduled visits, according to the Schedule of Assessments (Table 5). The ACT will also 
aid the investigator’s questioning of subjects with a medical history of asthma and should 
be completed before the clinical questioning. All subjects will be asked non-leading 
questions about any respiratory changes. The investigator or designee will then perform a 
respiratory examination of all subjects at all visits. 
Subjects with a medical history of asthma will be referred to the physician managing their 
asthma if unexpected worsening of asthma is observed or reported. Subjects without a 
medical history of asthma who experience respiratory changes (exam findings or newly-
reported signs and/or symptoms suggestive of asthma) will be referred to a respiratory 
specialist.
Peak Expiratory Flow
All subjects will undergo PEF testing at screening, baseline, and specified visits 
according to the Schedule of Assessments (Table 5). For subjects reporting a medical 
history of asthma, PEF testing will be conducted at all visits. 
In the event that PEF is < 80% of the predicted value at screening in patients without any 
history of asthma or in patients with history of asthma but with the ACT score > 19, PEF 
testing can be repeated once within 48 hours.
Subjects with a new (de novo) diagnosis of asthma will undergo PEF testing at all visits 
after the diagnosis is first made according to the Schedule of Assessments (Table 5).

Peak expiratory flow testing during the clinical study will be performed under the 
supervision of qualified study personnel. Peak expiratory flow measurements should 
consist of 3 good efforts, with the best result documented. It is preferable that the PEF 
measurement be performed before noon or at the same time during each study visit 
whenever possible. Obtained PEF values will be compared to predicted values based on 
the subject’s age, sex and height.37,38
To avoid interference with PEF measurements, attempts should be made to withhold 
asthma medication on study visit days until after PEF testing is complete; to the extent it 
does not pose an undue risk to the subject. 
Subjects with a medical history of asthma with a PEF < 80% of the predicted value will 
be referred to the physician managing their asthma.
Respiratory Referrals
Subjects with a medical history of asthma will be referred to the physician who manages 
their asthma when:

PEF < 80% of the predicted value

ACT score ≤19 because an ACT score ≤19 conveys asthma that may not be 
adequately controlled

Unexpected worsening of asthma is observed or reported at any time during the 
study
At any study visit, subjects without a medical history of asthma will be referred to an 
appropriate specialist physician whenever:

Signs and/or symptoms suggestive of asthma are newly observed or reported.

Respiratory assessments (ie, examination, PEF) suggest a decline in the subject’s 
respiratory health.

ADVERSE EVENTS
Adverse Events
An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study subject 
administered a medicinal product which does not necessarily have a causal relationship 
with this treatment. An AE 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 it is related to the 
medicinal (investigational) product. This includes an exacerbation of pre-existing 
conditions or events, intercurrent illnesses, drug interaction, or the significant worsening 
of the indication under investigation that is not recorded elsewhere in the eCRF under 
specific efficacy assessments. 
Note(s): 

Any new sign or symptom reported by the subject that appears after accidental or 
intentional overdose or misuse should be reported as an AE.

Whenever possible, a diagnosis should be reported on the AE form, instead of 
signs, symptoms, or abnormal laboratory values. 

Pregnancy is not to be considered an AE; however, it must be monitored and 
reported as described in Section 12.7.7.

Each worsening of a chronic disease from the screening visit should be reported 
as a new AE.
The investigator or designee will report all AEs that occur from the time the ICF is signed 
until the end of the study. The sponsor/CRO should be informed if the investigator 
becomes aware of any safety information that appears to be drug related, even after the 
subject has completed the clinical study.
At each post enrollment visit, the investigator (or sub-investigator) will question the 
subject about AEs using an open non persuasive question to elicit reporting of AEs (for 
example, “Have you noticed any change in your health since the last visit?”). Directed 
questioning and examination will then be performed as appropriate.

RD.06.SPR.202685
Nemolizumab (CD14152)
Version 5.0 
CONFIDENTIAL
Page 108 of 185
Any AE occurring during the AE reporting period, whether it is related to the study 
drug(s) or not, will be recorded immediately in the source document and described on the 
Adverse Event Form (“AE Form”) along with the date of onset, severity, relationship to 
the study drug(s), and outcome, without omitting any requested and known information. 
Additional information will be requested under certain circumstances.  
Adverse events assessed as related to the treatment or study procedure will be monitored 
until they have resolved or reached a stable condition. Other AEs will be monitored until 
the last visit if they have not resolved or reached a stable condition. 
The investigator will obtain and maintain in the subject’s files all pertinent medical 
records, information and medical judgment from colleagues who assisted in the treatment 
and follow up of the subject. If necessary, the investigator will contact the subject’s 
personal physician or hospital staff to obtain further details.
Assessment of Severity
Each AE will be assigned a category by the investigator as follows:
Mild:
An AE that is easily tolerated by the subject, causes minimal discomfort, 
and does not interfere with everyday activities.
Moderate:
An AE that is sufficiently discomforting to interfere with normal everyday 
activities; intervention may be needed.
Severe:
An AE that prevents normal everyday activities; treatment or other 
intervention usually needed.
If there is a change in severity of an AE, it must be recorded as a separate event.
Assessment of Causality
The investigator is to determine whether there is a reasonable causal relationship between 
the occurrence of the AE, and exposure to the study drug (ie, nemolizumab or placebo) 
and/or study procedure (eg, injection, blood sample collection). Medical judgment should 
be used to determine the relationship, considering all relevant factors including the

pattern of the reaction, temporal relationships, relevant medical history, and confounding 
factors such as co-medication or concurrent diseases.
The expression “reasonable causal relationship” is meant to convey in general that there 
are facts or arguments to suggest a causal relationship (ICH E2A, Section IIIA 1).
The relationship assessment for an AE is to be completed using the following definitions 
as a guideline for all AEs occurring during this clinical study:
Reasonable possibility:
According to the reporting investigator, there is a reasonable possibility (ie, suggestive 
evidence or arguments) that there is a causal relationship irrespective of the dose 
administered:

Between the study drug (nemolizumab) and the AE, and/or

Between the clinical study protocol procedure (eg, injection, blood sample 
collection) and the AE
No Reasonable Possibility:
No suggestive evidence or arguments can be identified regarding a causal relationship 
between the study drug or the clinical study protocol procedure and the AE.
Action Taken
The investigator will describe the action taken in the appropriate section of the eCRF, as 
follows:

None

Study drug stopped

Study drug temporarily interrupted

Concomitant medication (any additions or discontinuations)

Other, specify

Follow-up of Adverse Events
All investigators should follow-up with subjects with AEs until the event is resolved or 
until, in the opinion of the investigator, the event is stabilized or determined to be 
chronic. Details of AE resolution must be documented in the eCRF.
Subjects should be followed up for 12 weeks (± 5 days) after receiving the last dose of 
study drug, and any AEs that occur during this time should be reported according to the 
procedures outlined above.
Documentation and Reporting of Adverse Events
Adverse events should be reported and documented in accordance with the procedures 
outlined below. All AEs occurring during the study must be documented on the relevant 
eCRF pages. The following data should be documented for each AE:

Description of the symptom event

Classification of “serious” or “not serious”

Severity

Date of first occurrence and date of resolution (if applicable)

Action taken

Causal relationship

Outcome of event (unknown, recovered, not yet recovered, recovered with 
sequelae, death [with date and cause reported])
Adverse Events of Special Interest
An AESI is a noteworthy treatment-emergent event for the study drug that should be 
monitored closely and reported promptly. See Section 12.7.5 for reporting procedure(s). 
An AESI can be either serious or nonserious.

Based on the potential risks of nemolizumab (CD14152) and the risks associated with 
biologics (and their biosimilar equivalents) in general (ie, class effects), the following 
AEs will be considered AESIs:

Injection-related reactions (IRRs)
o
Anaphylactic reactions
o
Acute allergic reactions requiring treatment
o
Severe injection site reaction (ie, lasting > 24 hours)

Newly diagnosed asthma or worsening of asthma
o
More specifically, subjects with a medical history of asthma will be 
referred to the physician who manages their asthma when:

ACT score ≤ 19: An ACT score ≤ 19 conveys asthma that may not 
be adequately controlled. An AESI is reported based on the 
investigator’s clinical judgment, including consideration of the 
managing physician’s report.

PEF < 80% of the predicted value: An AESI should be reported.

Unexpected worsening of asthma is observed or reported. An AESI 
is reported based on the investigator’s clinical judgment.
o
Subjects without a medical history of asthma will be referred to an 
appropriate respiratory physician/specialist when:

Signs and/or symptoms suggestive of asthma have been observed 
or reported. An AESI is reported based on the investigator’s 
clinical judgment of the specialist’s report.

Respiratory assessments (ie, examination, PEF) suggest a decline 
in the subject’s respiratory health. An AESI is reported based on 
the investigator’s clinical judgment of the specialist’s report.

Infections
o
Any severe infection or any infection requiring treatment with parenteral 
antibiotics or oral antibiotics/antivirals/antifungals for > 2 weeks
o
Any confirmed or suspected COVID-19 infection

Peripheral edema: limbs, bilateral

Facial edema

Serious Adverse Events
An SAE is any untoward medical occurrence, in the view of either the investigator or 
Sponsor, that:

results in death

is life-threatening

results in inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization

results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity

is a congenital anomaly/birth defect
Other important medical events that may not be immediately life-threatening or result in 
death or hospitalization, based upon appropriate medical judgment, are considered SAEs 
if they are thought to jeopardize the subject and/or require medical or surgical 
intervention to prevent one of the outcomes defining an SAE. 
Hospitalization may not constitute sufficient grounds to be considered as an SAE if it is 
solely for the purpose of diagnostic tests (even if related to an AE), elective 
hospitalization for an intervention that was already planned before subject enrolment in 
the clinical trial, admission to a day care facility, social admission (eg, if the subject has 
no place to sleep), or administrative admission (eg, for a yearly examination).
SAEs are critically important for the identification of significant safety problems; 
therefore, it is important to take into account both the investigator’s and the Sponsor’s 
assessment. If either the Sponsor or the investigator believes that an event is serious, the 
event must be considered serious and evaluated by the Sponsor for expedited reporting.
Procedure for Reporting Serious Adverse Events
For any SAE occurring during the clinical study, regardless of whether or not related to 
the study drug and/or procedure, the investigator must:

1. Take prompt and appropriate medical action, if necessary. The safety of the subject is 
the first priority.
2. Ensure that the event is evaluated as an SAE. Immediately notify (within 24 hours of 
receipt of the event) the Syneos Health Safety and Pharmacovigilance group of an 
SAE report, by email or fax:
Fax Number: 001-877-464-7787 
Safety email: SafetyReporting@SyneosHealth.com 
Note: Immediate SAE reporting is required by the investigator if it occurs during the 
clinical study or within 12 weeks (± 5 days) of receiving the last dose of study drug, 
whether or not the event is considered to be related to the investigational product.
The demographics, medical history, drugs/therapies, and medical and surgical 
procedures forms must also be available for review in the eCRF, at that time.
3. Send any relevant information or anonymized medical records (eg, laboratory test 
results) to the Syneos Health Safety and Pharmacovigilance group (see contact details 
above), within 24 hours of receipt of this relevant information.
4. Monitor and record the progress of the event until it resolves or reaches a stable 
condition, with or without sequelae. For all additional follow-up evaluations, 
complete an updated SAE report within 24 hours of receipt of the updated 
information.
5. Obtain and maintain in the subject files all pertinent medical records, information, 
and medical judgments from colleagues who participate in the treatment and follow-
up of the subject. If necessary, contact the subject’s personal physician or hospital 
staff to obtain further details.
6. When the outcome of the event is known, complete an updated SAE report, if 
appropriate.
7. Prompt notification of SAEs by the investigator is essential so that legal obligations 
and ethical responsibilities toward the safety of subjects are met. The Sponsor has a

legal responsibility to notify both the local regulatory authority and other regulatory 
agencies about the safety of a product under clinical investigation. The Sponsor or its 
delegate (ie, the CRO) will comply with country-specific regulatory requirements 
relating to safety reporting to regulatory authorities, institutional review board 
(IRB)/independent ethics committee (IEC) and investigators. Investigator safety 
reports are prepared for SUSARs according to local regulatory requirements, and are 
forwarded to investigators as necessary.
An investigator who receives an investigator safety report describing a SAE(s) or 
other specific safety information (eg, summary or listing of SAEs) from the Sponsor 
or its delegate (ie, the CRO) will file it accordingly (ie, within the Trial Master File), 
and will notify the IRB/IEC, if appropriate according to local requirements.
8. Comply with the applicable regulatory requirement(s) related to the reporting of 
SAEs to the IRB/IEC.
Procedure for Reporting Adverse Events of Special Interest
For any AESI occurring during the clinical study, regardless of whether or not related to 
the treatment, the investigator must:
1. Take prompt and appropriate medical action, if necessary. The safety of subjects is 
the first priority.
2. Ensure that the event is evaluated as an AESI. Notify (within 3 days of receipt of the 
event) the Syneos Health Safety and Pharmacovigilance group of an AESI report, by 
email or fax. Refer to Section 12.7.4.
Note: AESI reporting is required by the investigator if it occurs during the clinical 
study following the first dose of study drug or within 12 weeks (± 5 days) of 
receiving the last dose of study drug, whether or not the event is considered to be 
related to the investigational product.
The demographics, medical history, drugs/therapies, and medical and surgical 
procedures forms must also be available for review in the eCRF, at that time.

3. Send any relevant information or medical records (eg, laboratory test results) to the 
Syneos Health Safety and Pharmacovigilance group within 3 days of receipt of this 
relevant information.
4. Monitor and record the progress of the event until it resolves or reaches a stable 
condition, with or without sequelae. For all additional follow-up evaluations, update 
the AESI report within 3 days of receipt of the updated information.
5. Obtain and maintain in the files all pertinent medical records, information, and 
medical judgments from colleagues who participate in the treatment and follow-up of 
the subject. If necessary, contact the subject’s personal physician or hospital staff to 
obtain further details.
6. When the outcome of the event is known, update the AESI report, if appropriate.
Suspected Unexpected Serious Adverse Reactions
AEs that meet all of the following criteria will be classified as SUSARs and reported to 
the appropriate regulatory authorities in accordance with applicable regulatory 
requirements for expedited reporting:

serious

unexpected (ie, the event is not consistent with the safety information in the IB)

there is at least a reasonable possibility that there is a causal relationship between 
the event and the study treatment
The investigator will assess whether an event is causally related to study treatment. The 
Sponsor (or Syneos Health) will consider the investigator’s assessment and determine 
whether the event meets the criteria for being reportable as a 7-day or 15-day safety 
report. SUSARs that are fatal or life-threatening must be reported to the regulatory 
authorities and the IEC/IRBs (where required) ≤ 7 days after the Sponsor (or Syneos 
Health) has first knowledge of them, with a follow-up report submitted within a further 8 
calendar days. Other SUSARs must be reported to the relevant regulatory authorities and 
the IEC/IRBs within 15 calendar days after the Sponsor (or Syneos Health) first has 
knowledge of them.

The Sponsor (or Syneos Health) is responsible for reporting SUSARs and any other 
events required to be reported in an expedited manner to the regulatory authorities and for 
informing investigators of reportable events, in compliance with applicable regulatory 
requirements within specific timeframes. Investigators will notify the relevant IEC/IRBs 
of reportable events within the applicable timeframes, according to local requirements.
Procedures for Reporting Pregnancy
Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) must have a negative pregnancy test at 
screening. Following administration of study drug, any known cases of pregnancy in 
female subjects will be reported until the subject completes or withdraws from the study. 
Any pregnancy occurring during clinical studies where the fetus could have been exposed 
to the study drug must be monitored until its outcome in order to ensure the complete 
collection of safety data. If a subject becomes pregnant, the investigator must:
1. Withdraw the subject from the clinical study. The subject must not receive any 
injection of the study drug.
2. Complete as fully as possible the Pregnancy Surveillance Form – Part I: History and 
Start of Pregnancy. Send by email or fax along with the exit form within 24 hours of 
receipt of the information, to the Syneos Health Safety and Pharmacovigilance group. 
Refer to Section 12.7.4.
Note: Immediate pregnancy reporting is required by the investigator if it occurs during 
the clinical study or within 12 weeks (± 5 days) of receiving the last dose of study drug, 
whether or not the event is considered to be related to the investigational product.
3. Monitor and record the progress of the pregnancy until its outcome. Contact the 
subject’s regular physician (general practitioner or gynecologist) or hospital staff to 
obtain further details and ask for regular follow-up information.
4. Provide tri-monthly updates until the final outcome of the pregnancy, by completing 
the Pregnancy Surveillance Form – Part II: Course and Outcome of Pregnancy. For 
all additional follow-up evaluations, send the form by email or fax to the 
Syneos Health Safety and Pharmacovigilance group within 24 hours of receipt of the

information. If the subject can no longer be reached (ie, lost to follow-up), 
documentation of the non-response/contact with 2 phone calls and a letter (certified 
with return receipt) is required.
5. At the outcome of the pregnancy, complete as fully as possible the Pregnancy 
Surveillance Form – Part II: Course and Outcome of Pregnancy. Print and send the 
form by email or fax to the Syneos Health Safety and Pharmacovigilance group 
within 24 hours of receipt of the information.
6. If the pregnancy leads to an abortion (ie, voluntary abortion, spontaneous abortion, or 
therapeutic abortion), in utero death or congenital anomaly, follow the procedure for 
declaration of/reporting an SAE (see Section 12.7.4).
Overdose
Study drug overdose is the accidental or intentional use of the drug in an amount higher 
than the dose being studied. The investigator must immediately notify the Sponsor of any 
occurrence of overdose with study drug.
Although overdose of nemolizumab occurred in the phase 2 AD study (ie, accidental 
injection of more than 2.0 mg/kg SC), no related AEs were reported.
INDEPENDENT DATA MONITORING COMMITTEE
An IDMC will review and monitor subject safety throughout the study. The IDMC will 
provide recommendations on the safety of subjects. The IDMC charter will provide 
details on the IDMC, including the plan of analysis for IDMC outputs; the composition of 
the IDMC; and the procedures, roles, responsibilities, and communications.
INDEPENDENT ADJUDICATION COMMITTEE
An IAC will review all asthma-related AEs throughout the study. The IAC charter will

PHARMACOKINETICS
PHARMACOKINETIC SAMPLING
Blood Samples
Blood samples for PK analysis of nemolizumab levels will be collected at the time points 
indicated in the Schedule of Assessments (Table 5) and the clinical laboratory manual to 
determine the PK profile of nemolizumab. At each sampling time point for PK 
assessments, the collected blood will be placed to clot at room temperature (no more than 
60 minutes after collection) and then centrifuged. The serum will be collected into 
storage tubes.
As a guideline, PK samples should be collected at approximately the same time of day 
throughout the study, to the extent possible, before study drug injection (pre-dose 
samples). The date and the time of each sample collection will be recorded in the eCRF, 
together with the time of study drug injection at the same visit (or missed injection if 
applicable).
CD14152 Quantification in Biological Sampling
Concentration of nemolizumab (CD14152) in the serum will be determined by the 
designated CRO using a validated enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method. Details 
related to the processing of serum samples and the assessments of nemolizumab will be 
described in the bioanalytical plan, which will be finalized before the beginning of 
sample analysis. Results will be described in the bioanalytical report, which will be 
included as an appendix in the final clinical study report.
PK parameters, PopPK and PK/PD analyses 
Population PK parameters of nemolizumab (CD14152) will be derived, by a designated 
CRO, using a non-linear mixed effect modeling approach with NONMEM software. A 
pre-specified PopPK model based on existing information from previous studies in adults 
(first-order absorption and a 1-compartment distribution model) will be updated with the 
nemolizumab serum concentrations obtained in this study.

In addition, PK/PD analyses will be conducted using pre-specified models based on 
existing information from previous studies in adults. For efficacy, PD endpoints are 
defined as the 2 primary clinical efficacy endpoints of the study: PP NRS responder and 
IGA success. If needed PK/PD analysis might be conducted for safety.
PopPK and PK/PD analyses will be described in an ad hoc Modeling & Simulation Plan.

OTHER ASSESSMENTS
PHARMACOGENOMICS
Pharmacogenomic testing (DNA analysis) is optional for this study, and will apply to 
subjects who provide written consent for this procedure. Subjects are not required to 
participate in the DNA analysis sub-study in order to enroll in the main study.
DNA analysis will be performed using a blood sample collected at baseline. If 
inadvertently not collected at baseline, the sample may be collected at a post-baseline 
visit.
Samples will be stored by the Sponsor or designated CRO for up to 15 years after the end
of the study. Candidate sequences in DNA analysis may include but are not limited to 
genes that encode IL-31 and its receptor (IL-31RA). DNA analysis will be conducted for 
the purpose of understanding inter-individual variability in nemolizumab (CD14152) 
efficacy, safety, and PK.
These data may be used or combined with data collected from other studies to identify 
genomic markers that may predict response and elucidate mechanisms of disease. 
Analyses may include sequence variation or single nucleotide polymorphism 
identification within candidate genes and surrounding genomic regions. Genome-wide 
studies may also be performed.
It is the intent of the Sponsor to assure that PGx information obtained remains 
confidential. The Sponsor maintains rigorous confidentiality standards for clinical studies 
by “coding” (ie, assigning a unique subject ID number at the investigational study center) 
for all subjects enrolled in the study. All samples taken for DNA analysis will undergo a 
second level of “coding” (each sample will receive a double-coded ID), according to the 
International Council for Harmonisation (ICH)-15 standards. Records will exist to trace 
double-coded samples to individual subjects for destruction if a subject provides a written 
request to withdraw their sample for DNA analysis. The data from samples that have 
already been analyzed will not be destroyed.

Blood samples for DNA analysis will be destroyed after 15 years have elapsed from the 
completion of this study.
IMMUNOGENICITY 
Blood samples will be collected at the time points indicated in the Schedule of 
Assessments (Table 5) and the clinical laboratory manual to assess anti-nemolizumab 
ADA.
The ADA will be determined by the designated CRO using a validated 
electrochemiluminescence immunoassay (ECLIA). The serum concentration will be 
assessed using a multi-tiered approach.
Details related to the processing of serum samples and the assessments of ADA will be 
described in the bioanalytical plan, which will be finalized before the beginning of 
sample analysis. Results will be described in the bioanalytical report, which will be 
included as an appendix in the final clinical study report.
If serum circulating ADA is detected, presence will be confirmed and characterized (eg, 
for titer and neutralizing potential). Incidence of positive ADA results will be 
summarized (absolute occurrence and percent of subjects).
PHARMACODYNAMIC BIOMARKERS
Blood and stratum corneum (D-Squames) samples will be collected from approximately 
100 subjects at selected sites to investigate the effect of nemolizumab (CD14152) on 
selected RNA and protein biomarkers, including but not limited to IL-31. Optional skin 
biopsies for RNA and immunohistochemistry analyses will be collected from 
approximately 30 subjects at selected sites who sign the additional consent form. Samples 
will be collected according to Table 5. 
The details of the procedures for PD samples and storage conditions are further described 
in the clinical laboratory manual. Samples will be shipped to the designated CRO for 
biomarker assessment, unless otherwise specified. Samples will be stored by the sponsor 
or designated CRO for up to 15 years after the end of the study.

Blood Samples for PD
Blood samples will be collected for assessment of IgE by the central laboratory. 
Additional blood samples will be collected and shipped to the designated CRO for RNA 
and protein biomarkers assessment. Total blood volumes to be drawn at each visit are 
provided in the clinical laboratory manual.
Stratum Corneum (D-Squames) Samples for PD
Stratum corneum samples will be collected using D-Squames (ie, tape strips) to evaluate 
biomarker expression levels.39,40,41 Body location for D-Squames sampling should be 
identified at baseline. D-Squames should be performed as much as possible in a clinically 
representative body location for all applicable subjects throughout the study and recorded 
on the central laboratory requisition form.
At baseline prior to administration of study drug, 1 lesional and 1 non-lesional area will 
be identified, and 20 consecutive D-Squames will be collected from each area, making 40 
D-Squames in total (20 from lesional skin and 20 from non-lesional skin). At Week 16, 
20 consecutive D-Squames will be collected from the exact anatomical location of the 
lesional area identified at baseline, regardless if the lesion has regressed (20 D-Squames 
in total). The samples will be shipped to the designated CRO for analysis of selected 
protein and RNA biomarkers.
Skin biopsies for PD (optional)
Three 4-mm punch biopsies will be performed (only for subjects who accept skin 
biopsies by signing the additional consent form) for RNA biomarkers and 
immunohistochemistry. Biopsies should be collected according to the investigator’s usual 
procedure, including follow-up.
Body location for biopsy sampling should be identified at baseline. Biopsies should be 
performed as much as possible in a clinically representative body location for all 
applicable subjects throughout the study and recorded on the central laboratory 
requisition form.

STATISTICAL ANALYSIS
A statistical analysis plan (SAP) will be created and finalized before database lock
(DBL). This document will provide details regarding the definition of analysis variables 
and analysis methodology to address all study objectives. The SAP will contain further 
detailed and technical descriptions of specific data conventions, calculations and of 
statistical procedures for executing the analyses that are specified in this protocol. Any 
changes made to the analysis after finalization of the SAP (ie, post-DBL) will be 
discussed and documented in the clinical study report.
The statistical evaluation will be performed using SAS® software version 9.4 or higher 
(SAS Institute, Cary, NC). All data will be listed, and summary tables will be provided. 
Summary statistics will be presented by treatment group. For continuous variables, data 
will be summarized with the number of subjects (N), mean, standard deviation (SD), 
median, minimum, and maximum by treatment group. For categorical variables, data will 
be tabulated with the number and proportion of subjects for each category by treatment 
group.
Unless otherwise stated, the baseline value for any variable will be the last non-missing 
value taken prior to the receipt of study treatment at the Baseline visit (Day 1). 
Unless otherwise stated, all statistical tests will be 2-sided and conducted at the 5% level. 
All presented CIs will be 2-sided 95% CIs.
A Blind Data Review Meeting (BDRM) will be convened to finalize assignments to the 
analysis populations, including the Per-Protocol (PP) immediately prior to DBL, ie, once 
all subjects have completed the study and data cleaning activities are essentially 
complete. The agenda for this meeting, along with any decisions made to determine 
analysis population inclusion/exclusion, decisions on data handling and other topics will 
be documented in the BDRM Plan and subsequently in the BDRM Report.

DATASETS OR STUDY POPULATIONS ANALYZED
Screened Population
The Screened population comprises all subjects who signed the ICF and have screening 
data entered into the database. This population includes screen failures and randomized 
subjects. Screen failed subjects are defined as those subjects who fail to meet inclusion 
criteria or meet exclusion criteria and discontinue the study prior to randomization. 
Subjects that are re-screened will only be counted once, under the subject ID assigned for 
the repeat screening.
Intent-to-Treat Population (ITT)
The ITT population will consist of all randomized subjects. The ITT population will be 
the primary population for efficacy analyses. All analyses under the ITT population will 
be analyzed under the treatment group as randomized.
Per-Protocol Population (PP)
The PP population will consist of all subjects in the ITT population and have no major 
protocol deviations that would have a significant effect on the efficacy of the study 
treatment. Only primary and key secondary endpoints will be analyzed using the PP
population, under the treatment group as randomized. For further information on protocol 
deviations, please refer to Section 15.9.
Safety Population (SAF)
The SAF will consist of all randomized subjects who received at least 1 administration of 
study drug. The treatment group assignment in this population will be defined by the 
treatment actually received. This population will be used for the analyses of safety.
Pharmacokinetic (PK) Analysis Population (PKAP)
The PKAP will consist of all subjects included in the SAF, with at least one measurable 
post-baseline PK assessment. Similar to SAF, the treatment group assignment in this 
population will be defined by the treatment actually received. This population will be 
used for the descriptive analyses of PK parameters.

SUBJECT DISPOSITION
The number of subjects screened and randomized in each analysis population will be 
presented. The number of subjects that discontinue the study and the reasons for 
discontinuation will be summarized. In addition, subjects’ status with regard to study 
treatment and follow-up will also be summarized.
DEMOGRAPHICS AND OTHER BASELINE CHARACTERISTICS
Demographic and other baseline characteristics (eg, age, sex, race, height, body weight, 
body mass index, and applicable disease baseline characteristics) will be summarized for 
the ITT, PP, and SAF populations. Medical history, plus prior and concomitant therapies 
(including prohibited therapies) will be summarized for the SAF population.
EFFICACY ANALYSIS
Unless otherwise stated, all efficacy analyses will be performed on the ITT population.
Primary Efficacy Endpoints
The primary endpoints include the following endpoints:
1. The proportion of subjects with an improvement of ≥4 from baseline in PP NRS 
at Week 16.
2. The proportion of subjects reporting success on the IGA at Week 16, defined as 
an IGA response of 0 [Clear] or 1 [Almost clear] and a ≥2-point reduction from 
baseline;
For both primary endpoints, any subjects with missing data at Week 16 will be regarded 
as a non-responder for the respective endpoint. If a subject is in receipt of rescue 
medication at any point on or prior to Week 16, data after receipt of rescue medication 
will be set to missing, and subsequently regarded as a non-responder for respective 
primary endpoint based on the same imputation method as for purely missing data. 
Analysis of Primary Efficacy Endpoints
The statistical hypotheses associated with the primary analysis of improvement in PP 
NRS ≥4 from baseline at Week 16 using treatment difference is, similarly:

Version 5.0 
CONFIDENTIAL
Page 127 of 185
H0: PPP NRS nemo - PPP NRS Pla = 0;
H1: PPP NRS nemo - PPP NRS Pla ≠ 0,
where PPP NRS nemo and PPP NRS Pla are the proportion of subjects categorized as having a PP 
NRS improvement from baseline to Week 16 of ≥4, for nemolizumab and Placebo, 
respectively.
The statistical hypotheses associated with the primary analysis of IGA success at Week 
16 using treatment difference is:
H0: PIGA nemo - PIGA Pla = 0;
H1: PIGA nemo - PIGA Pla ≠ 0,
where PIGA nemo and PIGA Pla are the proportion of subjects categorized as success under 
IGA at Week 16 for nemolizumab and Placebo, respectively.
Both primary endpoints will be analyzed using a Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel (CMH) test 
adjusted for the randomization strata analysis center and baseline body weight cut-off (<
90 kg and ≥90 kg), in order to test the difference between nemolizumab and placebo for 
the proportion of subjects achieving success in each endpoint. The estimate of the 
treatment difference and corresponding 2-sided 95% CI and p-values will be presented. 
The confidence intervals will be based on Wald statistic controlling for stratification 
variables. Strata-adjusted proportion differences will be obtained using weighted average 
of stratum-specific proportion using CMH. This primary analysis will be conducted on 
the ITT population. To control type I error at 5% significance level, a fixed sequential 
testing approach, as described in Section 15.4.5, will be implemented.
Sensitivity Analyses of the Primary Endpoint
Sensitivity analyses for both primary endpoints will be conducted in order to test for the 
robustness of the primary analyses. The following sensitivity analyses will be conducted: 

PP population

To assess the robustness of non-responder analysis, a tipping point analysis will 
be performed by converting non-responders due to missing data to responders in 
successive increments (∆) for both treatment groups. The value of ∆ that 
overturns (ie, non-significant) the primary results will represent the tipping point.

among both treatment groups will be presented.

Multiple Imputation (MI) method for missing data (or where rescue medication is 
received), assuming all missing data are Missing at Random (MAR)
The MI imputation will be carried out as follows: 
Imputation Phase:
1. A 50 imputed datasets with a monotone missing pattern will be created using 
SAS MI procedure based on the observed data (Markov-Chain-Monte-Carlo 
method, MCMC). The seed to be used is 202685 (the Protocol number). 
Pattern of missing data will be evaluated and it is expected that the pattern of 
missing data will be monotonic. For non-monotone missing data patterns, 
MCMC method of MI procedure will be used to impute enough data so that 
the remaining missing data is monotone.
2. Each of the imputed datasets will be used to generate 50 complete datasets, 
using following approaches:
a.
A logistic regression method to impute the ordinal IGA missing data, 
including treatment, randomization strata, and assessments from 
earlier time points as covariates. IGA responder variable will be 
derived using these imputed data. 
b. For PP NRS endpoint, a linear regression model including treatment, 
randomization strata, and assessments from earlier time points as 
covariates will be used to impute the weekly average score. PP NRS 
responder variable will be derived using these imputed data. 
Analysis Phase:
3. The complete datasets will be modelled for the endpoint using CMH method 
as per analysis described in Section 15.4.2. Proportion of responders in each 
treatment arm, difference and standard error will be calculated.

Pooling Phase:
4. The results from the CMH analysis of the multiple imputed datasets will be 
combined using the Rubin (1987) and Li et al (1991) approach to produce 
pooled CMH statistics and p-value. Proportion of responders in each treatment 
arm, difference and standard error will be combined using the MIANALYZE 
procedure in SAS.

Pattern-mixture model under assumption Missing Not at Random (MNAR) 
controlled-based pattern imputation. MI-based imputation will be applied as 
described above. Under MNAR assumption, a controlled based pattern imputation 
where only observation in placebo treatment group will be used to impute. 

Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF) imputation method for missing data 
(or where rescue medication is received)

Observed Case (OC) - No data will be imputed. For this analysis, if any rescue 
medication is received, and data are collected post rescue receipt, data post-rescue 
will be analyzed as observed (ie, not set to missing) by ignoring the use of rescue 
medication
Sensitivity analyses may be performed to evaluate the impact COVID-19 deviations. 
Further details will be provided in SAP.
Key Secondary Efficacy Endpoints
The following key secondary endpoints are to be analyzed, in order:
1. Proportion of subjects with an improvement of ≥ 4 from baseline to Week 4 in PP 
NRS;
2. Proportion of subjects with PP NRS < 2 at Week 16
3. Proportion of subjects with an improvement of ≥ 4 from baseline in SD NRS at 
Week 16
4. Proportion of subjects with an improvement of ≥ 4 from baseline in SD NRS at 
Week 4
5. Proportion of subjects with PP NRS < 2 at Week 4

Page 132 of 185
Binary secondary endpoints will be analyzed in the same manner as the primary 
endpoint; missing values will be imputed as non-responder. 
Continuous secondary endpoints (except EQ-5D, HADS) will be analyzed using 
multiple-imputation assuming MAR and using mixed effect model for repeated measure 
(MMRM) approach, including analysis center and baseline body weight cut-off (< 90 kg 
and ≥90 kg) as factor and baseline as covariate where applies. The estimated treatment 
difference for each endpoint at each visit will be displayed in the summary of statistical 
analysis together with the 95% CI and associated p-value. EQ-5D and HADS endpoints 
will be analyzed using ANCOVA including analysis center and baseline body weight cut-
off (< 90 kg and ≥90 kg) as factor and baseline as covariate. All secondary endpoints 
will be presented descriptively using OC. 
Further details will be provided in the SAP.
Handling of small study sites
A small center is defined as a center which randomizes less than 12 subjects. Small 
centers will be pooled prior to analyses. First, centers will be sorted by country, number 
of randomized subjects (descending order) and center number (ascending order). Pooling 
will start with combining the largest of the set of small centers with the smallest center 
within that country. If there is a further need to combine data (the size of the pooled 
centers includes less than 12 subjects), the next smallest center will be combined with the 
next largest of the small centers, until the criterion of a minimum of 12 subjects is met. 
The process will continue until all pooled centers have a minimum of 12 subjects within 
the country. Any remaining centers will be pooled with the last pooled center within the 
country. The pooled centers will be referred to as ‘analysis centers’ in the statistical 
analyses.
Subgroup Analysis
Descriptive summary and analysis for primary and key secondary endpoints will be 
produced for the following subgroups:

Region (Europe, North America, Asia-Pacific)

Age groups (18-65, and > 65)

SAFETY ANALYSIS
All safety analyses will be conducted on the SAF, by treatment group.
All reported AEs will be coded using the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities 
(MedDRA), version 22.0 or later. A TEAE will be defined as those AEs occurring on or 
after the date/time of first administration of study treatment until the last study visit. The 
incidence of TEAEs (events with onset dates on or after the start of the study drug), drug-
related TEAEs, SAEs, TEAEs leading to study drug discontinuation and TEAEs of 
Special Interest will be included in incidence tables, summarized by System Organ Class 
(SOC) and Preferred Term (PT). If a subject experiences more than 1 occurrence of the 
same AE, the occurrence with the greatest severity and the closest association with the 
study drug will be used in the summary tables. SAEs and AEs causing discontinuation 
will be tabulated. The incidence of TEAEs by severity, counting multiple AEs under 
SOC and PT for a subject at the maximum severity will be presented. All AEs will be 
listed by subject, along with information regarding onset, duration, relationship and 
severity to study drug, action taken with study drug, treatment of event, and outcome.
Clinical laboratory data and vital signs will be summarized using descriptive statistics, 
including observed values and change from baseline values, as well as numbers of 
subjects with values outside limits of the normal range, including shifts from baseline at 
each time point.
Summary tables will also be provided for 12-Lead ECG, Physical Examination, ACT, 
PEF, and Respiratory Exam, by treatment group. Listings will also be provided.
PHARMACOKINETIC ANALYSIS
Descriptive statistics (arithmetic and geometric mean, standard deviation [SD], 
coefficient of variation [CV%], minimum [min.], maximum [max.], and median) will be 
used to summarize the observed nemolizumab Ctrough in serum.

In addition, individual and mean serum concentration versus time curves will be 
presented for both linear and semi-log scales. Treatment related positive ADA subjects 
and positive ADA subject will be identified in the graphs.
Incidence of positive ADA results will be summarized (absolute occurrence, percent of 
subjects, and treatment-related ADA). The ADA results presentation will be detailed in 
the SAP. 
OTHER ANALYSES
Pharmacogenomic and pharmacodynamics analyses will be reported separately from the 
main study report. 
Anti-drug antibody concentrations will be reviewed. Depending on the data provided,
exploratory statistical analyses may be performed. Further details will be provided in the 
SAP.
Psychometric Validation Analyses
Confirmatory psychometric analyses will be conducted on the phase 3 data for the 
evaluation of the PP NRS, SD NRS, and subject sleep diary in the PN population. These 
analyses will be performed by the designated CRO on the basis of a separate 
psychometric validation SAP.
DETERMINATION OF SAMPLE SIZE
In order to achieve at least 90% power for both primary endpoints at 5% significance 
level, 270 (180 nemolizumab, 90 placebo) subjects will be randomized to detect the 
following differences in both primary endpoints between treatment groups with 2:1 
randomization, assuming a 15% dropout rate during treatment period.
NRS responders (≥4 point reduction from baseline): Based on phase 2a data, it is 
expected that the NRS response at Week 16 would be 50% in Nemolizumab 30 mg and 
20% in placebo. 
IGA response (0/1): It is expected that the IGA response at Week 16 would be 30% in 
Nemolizumab 30 mg and 10% in placebo.

disclosure of protected health information in accordance with HIPAA Privacy Regulation 
(for US) or with applicable national and/or local laws and regulations and in a form 
satisfactory to the Sponsor.
MONITORING
The study will be monitored according to the monitoring plan to ensure that it is 
conducted and documented properly according to the protocol, GCP, and all applicable 
regulatory requirements.
Monitoring visits and contacts will be made at appropriate times during the study. The 
Principal Investigator will assure he/she and adequate site personnel are available 
throughout the study to collaborate with clinical monitors. Clinical monitors must have 
direct access to source documentation in order to check the completeness, clarity, and 
consistency of the data recorded in the eCRFs for each subject.
The investigator will make available to the clinical monitor all source documents and 
medical records necessary to review protocol adherence and eCRFs. In addition, the 
investigator will work closely with the clinical monitor and, as needed, provide them 
appropriate evidence that the study is being conducted in accordance with the protocol, 
applicable regulations, and GCP guidelines.
QUALITY CONTROL AND QUALITY ASSURANCE
The Sponsor or its designee will perform the quality assurance and quality control 
activities of this study; however, responsibility for the accuracy, completeness, security, 
and reliability of the study data presented to the Sponsor lies with the investigator 
generating the data.

The Sponsor will arrange audits as part of the implementation of quality assurance to 
ensure that the study is being conducted in compliance with the protocol, standard 
operating procedures, GCP, and all applicable regulatory requirements. Audits will be 
independent of and separate from the routine monitoring and quality control functions.
Quality assurance procedures will be performed at study sites and during data 
management to assure that safety and efficacy data are adequate and well documented.
PROTOCOL AMENDMENT AND PROTOCOL DEVIATION
Protocol Amendment
Amendments to the protocol that entail corrections of typographical errors, clarifications 
of confusing wording, changes in study personnel, and minor modifications that have no 
effect on the safety of subjects or the conduct of the study will be classed as 
administrative amendments and will be submitted to the IEC/IRB for information only.
The Sponsor will ensure that acknowledgement is received and filed. Amendments that 
are classed as substantial amendments must be submitted to the appropriate regulatory 
authorities and the IECs/IRBs for approval and will not be implemented at sites until such 
approvals are received other than in the case of an urgent safety measure.
Protocol Deviations

APPENDICES
APPENDIX 1: CONTRACEPTION GUIDELINES
Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) must use at least 1 effective method of 
contraception during the study and for 12 weeks after the last dose of study treatment. 
A woman is considered to be a WOCBP (fertile) following menarche and until becoming 
postmenopausal, unless she is permanently sterile. Permanent sterilization methods 
include hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, and bilateral oophorectomy. A 
postmenopausal state is defined as no menses for 12 months without an alternative 
medical cause. A high follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) level in the postmenopausal 
range may be used to confirm a postmenopausal state in women not using hormonal 
contraception or hormonal replacement therapy. However, in the absence of 12 months of 
amenorrhea, a single FSH measurement is insufficient. 
A man is considered fertile after puberty unless permanently sterile by bilateral 
orchidectomy.
Adequate methods of contraception include:

combined (containing estrogen and progestogen) hormonal contraception 
associated with inhibition of ovulation (administration may be oral, intravaginal, 
or transdermal)

progestogen-only hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation
(administration may be oral, injectable, or implantable)

intrauterine device

intrauterine hormone-releasing system

combination of male condom with cap, diaphragm, or sponge with spermicide
(double barrier methods)

bilateral tubal ligation or occlusion


bilateral vasectomy (provided that the male partner has a medical assessment of 
surgical success) at least 12 weeks (3 months) before the study

true abstinence (defined as refraining from heterosexual intercourse during the 
entire period of risk in relation to the duration of the clinical trial, in line with the 
preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject)
All subjects will be strongly advised that they should not become pregnant while on study 
treatment or for 12 weeks (3 months) after the last dose. A female subject will be advised 
that she must report immediately to the study site for pregnancy testing and appropriate 
management in the event that she may be pregnant.

APPENDIX 2: SPECIFIC GUIDANCE FOR STUDY CONDUCT AND SUBJECT 
SAFETY DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC
This guidance applies during the COVID-19 pandemic, as defined by regional and/or 
local authorities. The updates summarized below are relevant to the referenced sections 
of the protocol.
Section 5.3
Risk/Benefit Assessment
During the COVID-19 pandemic, additional risks to participants may exist, including 
general environmental risks (e.g. being outside the home, possible contact with 
unsanitized surfaces) and study-related activities (e.g. interaction with study staff). 
Potential new subjects with known or suspected COVID-19 infection are ineligible for 
study enrolment until the infection has resolved. Furthermore, potential new subjects in a 
high-risk population for COVID-19 (e.g. 60 years and older or with comorbidities), 
should be temporarily deferred until the COVID-19 risk has subsided at the location of 
the enrolling site, according to investigator judgement. Risk mitigation measures to be 
implemented for enrolled subjects and for new subjects during the COVID-19 pandemic 
are detailed in Additional Measures for Subjects Amidst COVID-19 Pandemic below. 
Subjects with a known or suspected COVID-19 infection will immediately discontinue 
study drug; instructions for resuming treatment are described in Section 8.4.2. Known or 
suspected COVID-19 infection will also be followed as an AESI.
New Subsection to Section 7.1, Overall Study Design and Plan:
Additional Measures for Subjects Amidst COVID-19 Pandemic
All investigational sites should act according to applicable site regulations, to 
guidelines and restrictions implemented by local authorities, and to best practices 
for conducting clinical research during the COVID-19 pandemic. 
- Guidance for New Subjects:
Best practices currently in place must be followed when evaluating eligibility of 
subjects to participate in the study during the COVID-19 pandemic.
For potential subjects in a high-risk population for COVID-19 as defined by the 
American Academy of Dermatology (AAD)1 (e.g. 60 years and older or with

comorbidities) or local guidelines, deferring participation in the study should be 
considered. Deferment of enrollment is based on the potential risk posed by 
general environmental risks (e.g. being outside home, possible contact with 
unsanitized surfaces) and study-related activities (e.g. interaction with study 
staff).
For potential subjects in the low-risk population for COVID-19 (e.g. less than 60 
years of age and without comorbidities), the risks and benefits of participation in 
the study should be assessed on a case by case basis. 
If at the time of screening, in the opinion of the Investigator, the subject will not 
be willing and able to reach the investigational site and comply with all of the 
time commitments and requirements of the clinical study protocol, the subject 
should not be considered for enrolment. The subject may be rescreened at a later 
time.
Pre-screening phone calls should be conducted to exclude potential 
candidates/subjects who display possible symptoms of COVID-19 or are at high 
risk of having been exposed to COVID-19.
- Guidance for Enrolled Subjects:
If the local situation allows for subjects to reach the clinical investigational site 
and complete all study procedures, the following measures should be taken:
-
Implement and document in the subject records regular 
communication with the subject between visits to attempt to ensure 
early detection of potential signs/symptoms of COVID-19 infection, 
and provide adequate advice, as per local medical practice and public 
health guidelines for suspected COVID-19 infection. Please refer to 
the Centers for Disease Control (CDC; https://www.cdc.gov/ 
coronavirus/2019-ncov/symptoms-testing/symptoms.html)/European 
CDC (https://www.ecdc.europa.eu/en/covid-19/questions-
answers)/local disease prevention agency and applicable local 
guidelines for assessment of subjects’ COVID-19 status.
-
Following the same guidelines, implement and document in the 
subject records an additional communication to the subject just before 
the scheduled visit.

-
Discontinue study drug administration in case of confirmed or 
suspected COVID-19 infection until the infection is resolved. See 
Section 8.4.2.
-
Report any COVID-19 infection (confirmed or suspected) as an AE:

if any seriousness criterion is met, also report as an SAE
(see Section 12.7.4).

if it occurs during the clinical study following the first 
dose of study drug administration, also report as an AESI 
(see Section 12.7.5).
-
Implement preventive infection control measures against COVID-19 
infection following local guidelines (e.g. good hygiene practice, clean 
techniques, and use of personal protective equipment such as gloves, 
goggles, and masks).
-
Implement preventive measures in handling all subject-facing study-
mandated assessment devices and parts: 

PEF meter device body is to be cleaned after each use, with 
recommended wipes, as per user manual 

PEF meter flow sensor is to be disposed of after each set of 
measurements is taken

Approved bacterial/virus filters may be used; if used, they 
must be disposed of after each set of measurements is taken

Offer protective gloves to subjects for use while filling out 
assessments on a tablet and provide training on hygienic 
removal and disposal of gloves
If the local situation allows for subjects to reach the investigational site and 
complete only some study procedures where visit duration needs to be limited, 
the above measures also apply. All assessments should be conducted if possible. 
Subject-reported assessments that would usually be collected on the site tablet 
(e.g. ACT, PGAD, PGAT, EQ-5D, DLQI, and PN-associated pain intensity and 
frequency) may be collected remotely (e.g. completed over the phone), as 
available. (See Appendix 20 for EQ-5D remote version.)

Subjects can be dosed only if, taking into account the local situation and risk of 
exposure to COVID-19, the site considers that:
-
The study drug subcutaneous injection can be performed at the 
investigational site according to the instructions in the protocol, 
pharmacy manual and instruction for use, including preparation of 
study drug by an independent pharmacist or other qualified personnel.
-
ACT (for subjects with a medical history of asthma) and PEF (for all 
subjects) can be performed according to the protocol. 

Exceptionally, if sites cannot perform PEF safely on site, the 
subjects should perform it at home prior to the onsite visit, on 
the same day. See section below for remote PEF testing 
instructions.
-
All other safety assessments are to be performed as per protocol: 
physical exam, vital signs, ECG, laboratory assessments, pregnancy 
test, monitoring of AEs and concomitant medications. 
-
All missing assessments should be appropriately documented with 
COVID-19 recorded as the reason, where applicable.
If the local situation does not allow for subjects to reach the investigational site:
-
See New Subsection to Section 9.8, Dose Modification: 
Management of Subjects with Missed Doses of Study Drug due to 
COVID-19 Pandemic (below) for guidance on further dosing of 
subjects
-
Remote collection of data by Investigator or delegate is still to be 
done for the following assessments at the regularly scheduled visit 
time, by phone or video call:

AE collection

ACT (for subjects with history of asthma)

Concomitant therapies used

Moisturizer use/background topical therapy


UPT results (for WOCBP)

PEF results
Note: For remote PEF measurements the following should be 
done:
-
To prepare subjects to do remote PEF measurement at 
home in case it is needed during the course of the study, 
all subjects should be previously trained onsite. 
-
During the remote visits, subjects can receive additional 
support (if needed) over the phone or video call by site 
staff when performing PEF 
-
If a subject has a PEF <80% of the predicted value:

Site staff can try to evaluate whether this is due to 
poor technique and ask the subject to repeat the set 
of measurements

If the subject’s best PEF measurement is still 
<80% of the predicted value or if there are other 
concerns regarding the subject’s respiratory health, 
refer to appropriate physician and report an AESI 
(see Section 12.7.5)
-
All laboratory samples should be collected at the site and analyzed at 
the central lab. Only in exceptional situations when subject safety 
cannot be assured otherwise and subject cannot reach the site, a local 
laboratory test (i.e. hematology, blood chemistry, urinalysis) can be 
performed and reported, based on investigator judgement. 
-
Subject-reported assessments that would usually be collected on the 
site tablet (e.g. ACT, PGAD, PGAT, EQ-5D, DLQI, and PN-
associated pain frequency and intensity) may be completed over the 
phone, as available. (See Appendix 20 for EQ-5D remote version.)
All missing assessments should be appropriately documented with COVID-19 recorded 
as the reason, where applicable.

If a subject misses a dose of study drug due to the COVID-19 pandemic, study drug 
administration may be continued. The following dosing schedules apply. 
For subjects with a missed dose(s) during the treatment period, study drug administration 
can be continued based on one of the following scenarios (see also Diagram 1, below):
1) Subject has missed one or more doses between Baseline and Week 16 but can 
come to the clinical site at Week 16 (see also Diagram 2a):
-
Subjects who complete the Week 16 visit may be eligible to enroll in the 
long-term extension (LTE) study RD.06.SPR.202699 after the Week 24 
visit is complete.
-
Subjects who required rescue therapy before Week 16 may be considered 
for the LTE study but will be required to continue with study visits until 
Week 24 visit is due.
2) Subject has no missed doses through Week 12 but cannot reach the clinical site at 
Week 16 (see also Diagram 2b):
-
The Week 16 visit can be delayed by up to 4 weeks from the originally 
planned date. A remote Unscheduled visit should be planned between 
Week 12 and the delayed Week 16 visit for safety follow-up. Week 20 and 
Week 24 visits should be delayed by the same amount of time as the Week 
16 visit.
o
Subjects who complete the rescheduled Week 16 visit may be 
eligible to enroll in the LTE study after the Week 24 visit is 
complete.
-
If the subject still cannot come to the delayed Week 16 visit within 4
weeks of the originally planned date, the delayed Week 16 visit should be 
performed remotely at the rescheduled date as an early termination visit. A 
remote Unscheduled visit should be planned between Week 12 and the 
delayed Week 16 visit for safety follow-up. The Week 20 and Week 24 
visits will be cancelled. The subject may be considered for rollover into 
the LTE study after the Week 24 timepoint is reached.
3) Subject has missed one or more doses between Baseline and Week 16 and cannot 
reach the clinical site at Week 16:

-
For subjects who cannot come to the clinical site at week 12 but with an 
administered dose at Week 8 (with or without Week 4), the Week 12 visit 
can be delayed up to 3 weeks, and the Week 16 visit can be delayed up to 
4 weeks from the rescheduled Week 12 visit (see also Diagram 2c). Week 
20 and Week 24 visits should be delayed by the same amount of time as 
the Week 16 visit.
-
For subjects with an administered dose at week 12 but with a missed dose 
at Week 4 and/or Week 8, the Week 16 visit can be delayed by up to 4 
weeks from the originally planned date (see also Diagram 2d).
o
Subjects who complete the rescheduled Week 16 visit may be 
eligible to enroll in LTE study after the Week 24 visit is complete.
-
For subjects with a missed dose at week 12, the Week 16 visit will be 
performed remotely at Week 16 (cannot be delayed) as an early 
termination visit. The Week 20 and Week 24 visits will be cancelled. The 
subject may be considered for rollover into the LTE study after the Week 
24 timepoint is reached (see also Diagram 2d).
In all scenarios, study drug can be administered provided that there is a minimum 3-week 
interval between injections. If a subject cannot come to a planned visit due to COVID-19, 
the visit should be conducted remotely according to Additional Measures for Subjects 
Amidst COVID-19 Pandemic. If a subject misses 3 consecutive doses of study drug, an 
early termination visit should be conducted. Subject may still be eligible to participate in 
the LTE. Enrolment of subjects into the LTE study must be done in accordance with the 
LTE study protocol. Subjects who decline or are not eligible to enter into the LTE study 
will complete a follow-up visit 12 weeks after the last study drug injection.
16.5
Monitoring
On-site interim monitoring visits may not be feasible during COVID-19 restrictions; 
therefore, remote monitoring will be completed until on-site monitoring can be conducted 
again. Site monitoring activity will comply with the processes documented within the 
COVID-19 Site Management Risk Assessment Form.

These are instructions for filling out the Prurigo Activity Score 1.0. 
Two versions of the PAS 1.0 exist:
1 baseline: For screening and the baseline visit
1 Follow up: For all subsequent visits
These differ in instructions for Item 4.
Item 1a) Please mark all existing lesions that you see with a cross. Multiple 
answers are possible.
Papules= Pruriginous, elevated, solid, palpable lesions≤1 cm diameter*
Nodules= Pruriginous, elevated, solid, palpable lesions>1 cm diameter
Plaques= Pruriginous, palpable and flat lesions>1 cm in diameter, often on the 
lower leg
Umbilicated= Ulcers surrounded by a raised, erythematous rim - formerly referred 
to as M. Kylre
Ulcers= Ulcerations, excoriations
Linear= linear pruriginous lesions
Hypo-/Hyperpigmented maculae= Maculae or scarification as a post-inflammatory 
reaction
*According to the definition of the ILDS (Nast A et al. Br J Dermatol. 2016;174:1351-8) and Task 
Force Pruritus (Pereira et al. J Eur Acad Dermatol Venereol. 2018;32:1059-1065)
Item 1b) Please mark the clinically predominant type of prurigo with a cross. 
Please choose only one answer. 
2) Please estimate how many palpable pruriginous lesions are present. Counting 
the exact number of lesions is necessary for the first 20 lesions; if over 20 lesions, 
estimate. Healed lesions, scars or excoriations without prurigo should not be 
considered. Please choose only one answer.

3) Please indicate all locations of the body with evidence of pruriginous lesions. 
Healed lesions, scars or excoriations without prurigo should not be considered. 
The gluteal region belongs to the trunk in this case (see figure). Multiple answers 
are possible. 
4) Please select one area representing the dominant, representative type of prurigo. 
It is not necessary to select the most severe area. The purpose is to select an area 
in order to monitor the exact course of the lesions. The representative area must 
be the same at each visit! Once determined, you will repeat counting in this
area at each visit.
It is thus advisable to select an area with lesions that are not bunched together. 
This should be the forearm or upper arm, if possible. Please avoid the lower legs. 
Please indicate the bodily localization code from Item 3a. Count the nodules (in 
case of prurigo nodularis) or the typical pruriginous lesions (in case of other types 
of prurigo) in that area. Please identify all lesions and count each. When nodules 
are merged, count only one.
5) A. This item reflects the current itch/scratch activity. Please estimate what 
percentage of the pruriginous legions show excoriations/crusts. 
100% = All pruriginous lesions have excoriations/crusts. 
B. This item reflects the stage of the prurigo. Please estimate what percentage of 
the pruriginous lesions have healed. 
100% = all pruriginous leasions have healed. 
Items 7A and 7 B are to be considered separately and do not have to total 100% together.

Instructions for Dermatology Life Quality Index scoring:
3 = “Very much”
2 = “A lot”
1 = “A little”
0 = “Not at all”
0 = “Not relevant”
Question 7, “prevented work or studying/yes” = 3; “no or not relevant” = 0
The Dermatology Life Quality Index is calculated by summing the score of each question 
resulting in a maximum score of 30 and a minimum of 0. The higher the score, the more 
quality of life is impaired.
