PROTOCOL SUMMARY
Study Title
A Phase 3, Multicenter, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Double-Blind Study of the Efficacy 
and Safety of Apremilast (CC-10004) in Subjects with Mild to Moderate Plaque Psoriasis
Indication
The indication is mild to moderate plaque psoriasis.
Objectives
Primary Objective

To evaluate the clinical efficacy of oral apremilast 30 mg twice daily (BID), compared to 
placebo, in subjects with mild to moderate plaque psoriasis during the 16-week Placebo-
controlled Phase.
Secondary Objectives

To evaluate the safety and tolerability of apremilast 30 mg BID, compared with placebo, 
in subjects with mild to moderate plaque psoriasis

To evaluate the effect of apremilast 30 mg BID compared with placebo on itch over the 
whole body caused by plaque psoriasis

To evaluate the effect of apremilast 30 mg BID compared with placebo on Health-related 
Quality of Life (HRQoL)
Study Design
This is a Phase 3, multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study designed to 
evaluate the efficacy and safety of apremilast (CC-10004) in subjects with mild to moderate 
plaque psoriasis. 
Approximately 574 subjects will be enrolled and randomized 1:1 to receive either apremilast 30 
mg BID or placebo for the first 16 weeks. Subjects will be randomized based on a permuted 
block randomization using a centralized Interactive Response Technology (IRT). Randomization 
to apremilast arm or placebo arm will be stratified by baseline static Physician Global 
Assessment (sPGA) score (mild [2] or moderate [3]). Approximately 30% of subjects 
randomized will have a baseline sPGA score of mild (2) and approximately 70% of subjects will 
have a baseline sPGA score of moderate (3).

Subjects randomized to the apremilast 30 mg BID treatment group will receive 
apremilast 30 mg tablets orally twice daily for the first 16 weeks

Subjects randomized to the placebo treatment group will receive placebo tablets 
(identical in appearance to apremilast 30 mg tablets) orally twice daily for the first 16 
weeks

All subjects will receive apremilast 30 mg tablets orally twice daily after the Week 16 
Visit through the end of the Apremilast Extension Phase of the study

CC-10004-PSOR-022 Amendment 2 Final: 21 Nov 2018
The study will consist of four phases:

Screening Phase – up to 35 days

Double-blind Placebo-controlled Phase – Weeks 0 to 16

Subjects will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either apremilast 30 mg BID 
or placebo.  

Apremilast Extension Phase – Weeks 16 to 32

All subjects will be switched to (or continue with) apremilast 30 mg BID.  All 
subjects will maintain this dosing through Week 32.

Observational Follow-up Phase – 4 weeks

Four-week Post-Treatment Observational Follow-up Phase for all subjects who 
complete the study or discontinue the study early
After all subjects have completed the Week 16 Visit (or discontinued from the study), a Week 16 
database restriction will be performed; the primary data analysis will be conducted and a Week 
16 Clinical Study Report (CSR) will be generated. However, unblinded data will only be made 
available to select Sponsor and Contract Research Organization (CRO) team members involved 
with analysis of the data and preparation of the Week 16 CSR. All other Sponsor, site, and CRO 
personnel directly involved with the conduct of the study, will remain blinded to treatment 
assignments until the final database lock at the conclusion of the study.
The study will be conducted in compliance with International Council for Harmonisation (ICH) 
Good Clinical Practices (GCPs).
Study Population
Approximately 574 adult subjects ≥ 18 years of age with mild to moderate plaque psoriasis will 
be randomized.  Only subjects who don’t have prior exposure to biologics for the treatment of 
psoriatic arthritis, psoriasis, or any other indication that could impact the assessment of psoriasis
and who are inadequately controlled with or intolerant of topical therapies (including topical 
corticosteroids, topical retinoids or vitamin D analog preparations, calcipotriene and 
betamethasone dipropionate ointment or foam, tacrolimus, pimecrolimus, or anthralin/dithranol)
for the treatment of psoriasis will be eligible for the study.
Length of Study
The study is designed as a 32-week study with a Four-week Post-treatment Observational 
Follow-up Visit and consists of 4 phases as described above.  Please refer to Section 1.3.2 for 
details.
The End of Trial is defined as either the date of the last visit of the last subject to complete the 
post-treatment follow-up, or the date of receipt of the last data point from the last subject that is 
required for primary, secondary and/or exploratory analysis, as prespecified in the protocol, 
whichever is the later date.
Study Treatments
The chemical name of apremilast (CC-10004) is acetamide, N-[2-[(1S)-1-(3-ethoxy-4-
methoxyphenyl)-2-(methylsulfonyl)ethyl]-2,3-dihydro-1,3-dioxo-1H-isoindol-4-yl].

All study medication will be provided in blister cards throughout the entire study.  Apremilast 
will be provided as 10, 20, or 30 mg tablets by the study Sponsor, Celgene Corporation.  Placebo 
will be provided as identically appearing 10, 20, or 30 mg tablets.
Investigational product will be taken orally twice daily, approximately 12 hours apart, without 
restriction of food or drink. As in the prior Phase 3 studies, dose titration will be implemented in 
order to mitigate potential gastrointestinal-related adverse events (AEs).  During Week 0 (Days 1
to 7), subjects will be dispensed placebo or 30 mg BID titration and treatment blister cards with 
10, 20, and 30 mg apremilast tablets or identically appearing placebo for the dose titration.  
Starting at Week 16, all subjects will be switched to, or will continue with apremilast.  Subjects 
originally randomized to placebo at Week 0 will be switched to apremilast at Week 16.  The 30 
mg BID titration and treatment blister cards will be used for subjects switching from placebo to 
apremilast; dummy titration blister cards will be used for subjects initially randomized to receive 
apremilast 30 mg BID. At all other visits during the Apremilast Extension Phase, all subjects will 
receive apremilast 30 mg tablets which are to be taken twice daily. 
Dose modifications are not permitted in this study.

This sample size will provide more than 90% power to detect a 15% difference between the two 
treatment groups for the primary endpoint at a two-sided significance level of 0.05. The 
calculation is based on a chi-square test assuming 15% response rate for placebo and adjusting 
for a 20% dropout rate. 
For the Placebo-controlled Phase (Weeks 0 to 16), the analyses for efficacy endpoints will be 
based on the intent-to-treat (ITT) population, defined as all subjects who are randomized. 
Statistical comparisons will be made between apremilast 30 mg BID and placebo. All statistical 
tests will be at the two-sided 0.05 significance level and the corresponding p-values and 95% 
confidence intervals (CIs) will be reported.
The treatment difference for the primary endpoint will be compared between apremilast 30 mg 
BID and placebo using a Cochran Mantel–Haenszel (CMH) test adjusting for the stratification 
factor. The two-sided p-values from the CMH test, the adjusted treatment difference in 
proportion using the weighted average of the treatment differences across the stratification factor 
with the CMH weights, along with the associated two-sided 95% CIs using a normal 
approximation to the weighted average will be provided. Missing values at Week 16 will be 
imputed using multiple imputation (MI) as the primary method, with sensitivity analysis using 
the non-responder imputation (NRI) method and the tipping point analysis.  
The continuous endpoints will be analyzed using a mixed-effect model for repeated measures 
(MMRM) as the primary method. The MMRM model will use the change from baseline as the 
response variable and include treatment group, visit time, treatment-by-time interaction, and 
stratification factor as fixed effects, and the baseline value as a covariate. An unstructured 
covariance matrix will be used to model the correlation among repeated measurements. The 
Kenward-Roger adjustment will be used with restricted maximum likelihood (REML) to make 
proper statistical inference. Within-group least-squares (LS) means and the associated standard 
errors (SEs) and two-sided 95% CIs, treatment differences in LS means and the associated two-
sided 95% CIs and two-sided p-values will be derived from the MMRM model. A sensitivity 
analysis will be conducted using the analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model with treatment 
and stratification factor as the fixed effects, the baseline value as the covariate and the LOCF 
method to impute the missing data.
The other binary endpoints will be analyzed similarly as the primary endpoint using the CMH 
test.
To control the overall type I error rate, a fixed-sequence testing procedure will be used to test the 
primary and secondary endpoints in a predefined order. The test will be performed in sequence 
and significance of all preceding endpoints is required in order to proceed to the next one. The
proposed sequence of testing for the primary and secondary efficacy endpoints is listed below.

Proportion of subjects with sPGA score of clear (0) or almost clear (1) with at least a 
2-point reduction from baseline at Week 16

Proportion of subjects who improved ≥ 75% in BSA from baseline

Change from baseline in affected BSA at Week 16

Change from baseline in total PASI score at Week 16

CC-10004-PSOR-022 Amendment 2 Final: 21 Nov 2018

In subjects with BSA > 3% at baseline, proportion of subjects who achieved BSA ≤
3% at Week 16

In subjects with whole body Itch NRS score ≥ 4 at baseline, proportion of subjects 
with ≥4-point reduction (improvement) from baseline in the whole body itch NRS 
score at Week 16

In subjects with ScPGA score ≥ 2 at baseline, proportion of subjects with ScPGA 
score of clear (0) or almost clear (1) with at least a 2-point reduction from baseline at 
Week 16

Change from baseline in DLQI total score at Week 16
The safety analyses will be performed using the safety population, defined as all subjects who 
are randomized and receive at least one dose of investigational product. Safety will be assessed 
by clinical review of all relevant parameters including treatment emergent adverse events 
(TEAEs), laboratory tests, and vital signs; no inferential testing for statistical significance will be 
performed.
Adverse events will be classified using the Medical Dictionary for Drug Regulatory Activities 
(MedDRA) classification system.  All TEAEs will be summarized by system organ class, 
preferred term, severity and relationship to investigational product.  TEAEs leading to death or to 
discontinuation from treatment and serious adverse events (SAEs) will be summarized and listed 
separately.
Data from other safety assessments will be summarized descriptively.  Shift tables for laboratory 
parameters showing the number of subjects with values low, normal, and high comparing with 
the normal reference ranges pre-treatment versus post treatment will be provided.
To account for the different exposure to the investigational product, AEs or marked laboratory 
abnormalities will also be summarized using the exposure adjusted incidence rate, in addition to 
the simple incidence rates.

INTRODUCTION
1.1.
Disease Background
Psoriasis is a chronic, immune-mediated disorder.  Plaque psoriasis, the most common form of 
psoriasis, is typically characterized by raised, demarcated erythematous plaques covered by a 
silvery scale (Lebwohl, 2003a). Psoriasis affects 2-3% of the population, with approximately 
80% of patients experiencing mild to moderate disease (Menter, 2009). Psoriasis is associated 
with a range of comorbidities that have been demonstrated in subjects regardless of psoriatic 
disease severity (Ahlehoff, 2011, 2013).  
Treatment guidelines categorize therapy by extent of psoriatic disease based on the amount of 
affected body surface area (BSA).  Limited involvement or mild disease, defined as 0-3% BSA 
(National Psoriasis Foundation [NPF]) or ≤5% (American Academy of Dermatology [AAD], 
[Menter, 2008]) can be treated with topical therapies. However, treatment satisfaction remains 
low in patient using topical therapies compared to systemic or phototherapy (Cranenburgh, 
2013). In a recently published comparison of combination calcipotriene and betamethasone 
(Enstilar®) with the individual component therapies in a 4-week treatment period, about half of 
the subjects in this treatment group did not achieve a meaningful reduction of their plaque 
psoriasis, and even higher numbers of subjects failed to achieve response with calcipotriene or 
betamethasone treatment alone (Stein Gold, 2016). Additionally, topical therapies may not be 
adequate for subjects with less than 5% BSA affected with psoriasis in vulnerable areas such as 
the face, genitals, hands and feet, scalp, or intertriginous areas (Menter, 2011). Treatment of nail 
psoriasis with topical therapies also poses a clinical challenge and may not be adequate for 
subject with significant skin and nail disease (Crowley, 2015; Pasch, 2016).
Extensive disease or moderate to severe disease, established by health authorities as BSA ≥ 10%, 
Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI) ≥12 and static Physician Global Assessment (sPGA) ≥ 3 
(moderate or greater) can be treated with systemic therapies, but biologics and oral therapies 
such as methotrexate may be limited by safety concerns and the need for careful laboratory 
monitoring.  Consequently, subjects with mild to moderate psoriasis, represent an underserved 
population.  There remains an unmet medical need for an effective, convenient treatment of mild 
to moderate psoriasis that is well tolerated compared to the currently available treatment options 
(Armstrong, 2013).
1.2.
Compound Background 
Apremilast (CC-10004) is a specific phosphodiesterase type 4 (PDE4) inhibitor under 
development for use in the treatment of inflammatory conditions.  The PDE4 is one of the major 
phosphodiesterases expressed in leukocytes. PDE4 inhibition by apremilast elevates cyclic 
adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) levels in immune cells, which in turn down-regulates the 
inflammatory response by reducing the expression of pro-inflammatory mediators such as tumor 
necrosing factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-23, IL-17, and other inflammatory cytokines, and 
increasing the production of anti-inflammatory mediators. 
In completed Phase 3 studies in subjects with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis and active 
psoriatic arthritis, treatment with apremilast was associated with statistically significant and 
clinically meaningful improvements in multiple efficacy measures. On the basis of these studies,

apremilast (OTEZLA®) is approved in approximately 50 countries worldwide for the treatment 
of adult patients with active psoriatic arthritis and the treatment of patients with moderate to 
severe plaque psoriasis who are candidates for phototherapy or systemic therapy.
Apremilast remains under further clinical development for the treatment of inflammatory/ 
autoimmune disorders including Behçet’s disease, and ulcerative colitis. Further studies within 
the approved indications of plaque psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis are also ongoing.

available pharmacology, toxicology, drug metabolism, clinical studies, and adverse event (AE) 
profile of the investigational product (IP).

Rationale
1.3.1.
Study Rationale and Purpose
Treatment of mild to moderate plaque psoriasis can be challenging, and patient satisfaction and 
compliance with current treatment modalities are often low, particularly with topical therapies 
(Cranenburgh, 2013; Duffin, 2014).  Low satisfaction with treatment options can lead to poor 
adherence and suboptimal response.
There remains an unmet medical need for an effective, convenient treatment of mild to moderate 
psoriasis that is well tolerated compared to the currently available treatment options (Armstrong, 
2013). Currently approved topical corticosteroids and vitamin D analogues may be limited by 
short treatment durations, poor treatment compliance and significant adverse effects such as 
tachyphylaxis, skin atrophy, striae, telangiectasia, and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) 
axis suppression (Chan, 2009; Kragballe, 2013).  Other topical therapies, such as coal tar and 
anthralin preparations have cosmetically unappealing formulations, foul odor, limited efficacy, 
and potential carcinogenic risk (Chan, 2009). Systemic therapies including conventional 
therapies such as methotrexate, retinoids and cyclosporine or the biologics, have been approved 
for moderate to severe plaque psoriasis, and are associated with dose limiting effects such as 
hepatotoxicity, teratogenicity, nephrotoxicity and increased risk of malignancy or severe 
infection. In addition, careful laboratory monitoring for infections, reactivation of latent 
tuberculosis, hypersensitivity reactions and malignancies (Menter, 2009; Nast, 2012) may be 
required with these agents.
Apremilast (APR, OTEZLA®) is a drug that is taken orally (by mouth [PO]).  Apremilast inhibits 
the enzyme PDE4, which is a cAMP-specific PDE and the dominant PDE in inflammatory cells.  
By inhibiting PDE4, apremilast elevates intracellular cAMP levels, which in turn modulates a 
network of pro- and anti-inflammatory mediators and reduces the inflammatory response.
The proposed Phase 3 study is intended to assess the safety and efficacy of apremilast 30 mg 
twice daily (BID) in the treatment of subjects with mild to moderate plaque psoriasis who are not 
adequately controlled by topical therapies.
1.3.2.
Rationale for the Study Design
Study CC-10004-PSOR-012 was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 4 trial, in 
which the efficacy and safety of apremilast was evaluated in 221 subjects with moderate plaque 
psoriasis defined as BSA of 5-10% and sPGA of 3 (moderate).  In addition, eligible subjects had

CC-10004-PSOR-022 Amendment 2 Final: 21 Nov 2018
no prior exposure to systemic therapy (conventional or biologic), and no concurrent topical 
therapy for psoriasis was permitted during the study, with the exception of an unmedicated 
moisturizer such as Eucerin®.  Subjects were treated with APR 30 BID or placebo for 16 weeks 
during the Placebo-controlled Phase.  At the end of the Placebo-controlled Phase at Week 16, 
subjects entered the Apremilast Extension Phase and received APR 30 BID up to study Week 52.
Analyses of the proportion of subjects who achieved an sPGA score of 0 (clear) or 1 (almost 
clear) with at least a 2-point reduction from baseline at Week 16, demonstrated statistically 
significant benefit with APR 30 BID compared to placebo in the treatment of subjects with 
plaque psoriasis of moderate severity.  These results from the CC-10004-PSOR-12 study are 
consistent with results from the pivotal Phase 3 studies CC-10004-PSOR-008 and CC-10004-
PSOR 009, which were conducted in subjects with moderate to severe psoriasis.
This study will directly investigate the safety and efficacy of apremilast 30 mg BID, compared 
with placebo, in the treatment of subjects with mild to moderate plaque psoriasis. While PASI-75 
has been the standard primary efficacy endpoint to measure disease severity in subjects with 
moderate to severe plaque psoriasis (BSA ≥10%), the utility of PASI is limited by its decreased 
sensitivity in moderate disease (BSA < 10%) where the general degree of improvement is 
underestimated (Spuls, 2010; Menter, 2008).  The PASI scoring system combines the severity of 
the psoriatic lesion and BSA involvement into a single score of 0-72.  Assessment of PASI 
includes the scoring of affected skin based on categories of involved BSA, with the lowest score 
covering a BSA of < 10%. As the extent of the psoriatic lesion decreases, the score is 
increasingly dependent on plaque severity.  Consequently, in subjects with a baseline BSA of 
< 10%, the PASI score can no longer account for changes in affected skin surface area, but only 
plaque severity.
The primary endpoint will be the proportion of subjects with an sPGA score of 0 (clear) or 1 
(almost clear) at Week 16 with at least a 2-point reduction from baseline.  The sPGA is a 5-point 
scale ranging from 0 (clear) to 4 (severe), incorporating an assessment of the severity of the 3 
primary signs of the disease: erythema, scaling and plaque elevation (Feldman, 2005).  This 
assessment has been used routinely in pivotal studies evaluating response to investigational 
psoriasis therapies and has been used in all clinical psoriasis trials with apremilast.  In the 
proposed study population of subjects with a baseline of sPGA of mild (2) or moderate (3), in 
whom topicals are inadequate, inappropriate or contraindicated, Celgene believes that achieving 
an sPGA score of clear (0) or almost clear (1) with at least a 2-point at Week 16 will represent a 
clinically meaningful benefit in patients with limited treatment options. 
Secondary endpoints of response will include, at Week 16, proportion of subjects who improved 
≥ 75% in BSA, change from baseline in affected BSA, PASI score, proportion of subjects who 
achieved BSA ≤ 3%, proportion of subjects with ≥4-point reduction (improvement) in the whole 
body itch numeric rating scale (NRS) score among subjects with baseline whole body itch NRS 
≥ 4, proportion of subjects with Scalp Physician Global Assessment (ScPGA) score of clear (0) 
or almost clear (1) and with at least a 2-point reduction among subjects with baseline ScPGA 
score ≥ 2, and Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) total score.
Eligible subjects will be randomized 1:1 to receive either apremilast 30 mg BID or placebo.
Randomization will be stratified by baseline sPGA score (mild [2] or moderate [3]) to ensure 
balance between treatment arms with respect to baseline severity of psoriasis. Approximately

30% of subjects randomized will have baseline sPGA score of mild (2) and approximately 70% 
of subjects will have a baseline sPGA score of moderate (3).
1.3.3.
Rationale for Dose, Schedule and Regimen Selection
In addition to subgroup analysis of Phase 3 pivotal studies of CC-10004-PSOR-008 and CC-
10004-PSOR-009, Study CC-10004-PSOR-012, a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled 
Phase 4 study, demonstrated that apremilast 30 mg BID provided a treatment benefit in subjects 
with moderate plaque psoriasis. This study will directly investigate the safety and efficacy of this 
dosing regimen in the treatment of subjects with mild to moderate plaque psoriasis.
1.3.4.
Rationale for Choice of Comparator Compounds
A randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled design was chosen in order to measure the 
absolute treatment effect of apremilast 30 mg BID in mild to moderate plaque psoriasis.  The 
placebo-controlled design also minimizes subject and investigator bias in evaluating the efficacy 
and safety of apremilast in the selected patient population (Food and Drug Administration [FDA] 
Guidance for Industry E10 [FDA, 2016]).

OVERALL STUDY DESIGN
3.1.
Study Design
This is a Phase 3, multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study designed to 
evaluate the efficacy and safety of apremilast (CC-10004) in subjects with mild to moderate 
plaque psoriasis. 
Approximately 574 subjects will be enrolled and randomized 1:1 to receive either apremilast 30 
mg BID or placebo for the first 16 weeks. Subjects will be randomized based on a permuted 
block randomization using a centralized Interactive Response Technology (IRT). Randomization 
to apremilast arm or placebo arm will be stratified by baseline sPGA score (mild [2] or moderate 
[3]).  Approximately 30% of subjects randomized will have a baseline sPGA score of mild (2) 
and approximately 70% of subjects will have a baseline sPGA score of moderate (3).

Subjects randomized to the apremilast 30 mg BID treatment group will receive 
apremilast 30 mg tablets orally twice daily for the first 16 weeks

Subjects randomized to the placebo treatment group will receive placebo tablets 
(identical in appearance to apremilast 30 mg tablets) orally twice daily for the first 16 
weeks

All subjects will receive apremilast 30 mg tablets orally twice daily after the Week 16 
Visit through the end of the Apremilast Extension Phase of the study
The study will consist of four phases (Figure 1):

Screening Phase – up to 35 days

Double-blind Placebo-controlled Phase – Weeks 0 to 16

Subjects will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either apremilast 30 mg BID 
or placebo.  

Apremilast Extension Phase – Weeks 16 to 32

All subjects will be switched to (or continue with) apremilast 30 mg BID.  All 
subjects will maintain this dosing through Week 32.

Observational Follow-up Phase – 4 weeks

Four-week Post-Treatment Observational Follow-up Phase for all subjects who 
complete the study or discontinue the study early

Efficacy Follow-up
During the follow-up period, efficacy assessments may be performed by the investigator or
qualified designee at any time during a study visit.  The investigator performing efficacy 
assessments shall make independent observations at a given study visit and shall not review 
previous assessments in advance of conducting the assessments.  When conducting the efficacy 
assessments, the investigator must complete these assessments in the following order: 1) sPGA; 
2) BSA; 3) PASI; 4) ScPGA.
6.4.
Efficacy Assessments
The following assessments will be conducted as outlined in the Table of Events, Table 3

static Physician Global Assessment
The sPGA is the assessment by the Investigator of the overall disease severity at the 
time of evaluation.  The sPGA is a 5-point scale ranging from 0 (clear) to 4 (severe), 
incorporating an assessment of the severity of the three primary signs of the disease: 
erythema, scaling and plaque elevation.  When making the assessment of overall 
severity, the Investigator should factor in areas that have already been cleared (ie, 
have scores of 0) and not just evaluate remaining lesions for severity, ie, the severity 
of each sign is averaged across all areas of involvement, including cleared lesions. 
In the event of different severities across disease signs, the sign that is the 
predominant feature of the disease should be used to help determine the sPGA score.
See (Appendix B) grading criteria.

Body Surface Area
The BSA is a measurement of involved skin over the whole body.  The overall BSA 
affected by psoriasis is estimated based on the palm area of the subject’s hand.  The 
surface area of the whole body is made up of approximately 100 palms or 
“handprints” (each entire palmar surface or “handprint” equates to approximately 1% 
of total body surface area).

Psoriasis Area and Severity Index 
The PASI will be determined for all subjects throughout the study.  The PASI 
calculation is described in Appendix C.
The PASI is a measure of psoriatic disease severity taking into account qualitative 
lesion characteristics (erythema, thickness, and scaling) and degree of skin surface 
area involvement on defined anatomical regions.  The PASI is a validated instrument 
that has become standard in clinical trials for psoriasis.
Psoriasis Area Severity Index scores range from 0 to 72, with higher scores reflecting 
greater disease severity (Fredriksson, 1978).  Erythema, thickness, and scaling are 
scored on a scale of 0 (none) to 4 (very severe) on 4 anatomic regions of the body: 
head, trunk, upper limbs, and lower limbs.  Degree of involvement on each of the 
4 anatomic regions is scored on a scale of 0 (no involvement) to 6 (90% to 100% 
involvement).  The total qualitative score (sum of erythema, thickness, and scaling 
scores) is multiplied by the degree of involvement for each anatomic region and then

Protocol CC-10004-PSOR-022

37
CC-10004-PSOR-022 Amendment 2 Final: 21 Nov 2018
multiplied by a constant.  These values for each anatomic region are summed to yield 
the PASI score.

Scalp Physician Global Assessment 
The ScPGA is a measurement of overall scalp involvement by the Investigator at the 
time of evaluation.  The ScPGA is a 5-point scale ranging from 0 (clear) to 4 (severe), 
incorporating an assessment of the severity of the three primary signs of the disease: 
erythema, scaling and plaque elevation.  When making the assessment of overall 
scalp severity, the Investigator should factor in areas that have already been cleared 
(ie, have scores of 0) and not just evaluate remaining lesions for severity, ie, the 
severity of each sign is averaged across all areas of involvement, including cleared 
lesions.  
In the event of different severities across signs of psoriasis, the sign that is the 
predominant feature of psoriasis should be used to help determine the ScPGA score. 
See Appendix D for grading criteria.

Nail Assessments/Nail Psoriasis Severity Index
The number of fingers with psoriasis nail involvement will be counted. The NAPSI 
will assess one target thumb nail or fingernail representing the worst nail psoriasis 
involvement at baseline.  See Appendix E for grading criteria.
6.5.
Safety Assessments 

Contraception Education
The risks to a fetus or to a nursing child from apremilast are not known at this time.  
Results of animal and in vitro studies can be found in the current IB.
All FCBP must use one of the approved contraceptive options as described in 
Section 4.2 while on IP and for at least 28 days after administration of the last dose of 
the IP.  The female subject’s chosen form of contraception must be effective by the 
time the female subject is randomized into the study (for example, hormonal 
contraception should be initiated at least 28 days before randomization).
At screening and at baseline, and at any time during the study when a female subject 
of childbearing potential’s contraceptive measures or ability to become pregnant 
changes, the Investigator will educate the subject regarding contraception options and 
correct and consistent use of effective contraceptive methods in order to successfully 
prevent pregnancy.

Serum and Urine Pregnancy Tests for Females of Childbearing Potential
A serum pregnancy test with a sensitivity of ≤ 25 mIU/mL will be required for FCBP 
subjects at screening and at the Early Termination Visit or Visit 10.  In addition, a 
local urine pregnancy test kit will be provided by the central laboratory and will be 
performed at the site on all FCBP subjects at the Baseline Visit, prior to dosing, and 
at Visits 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9.  An unscheduled serum pregnancy test should be 
performed if the FCBP subject has missed a menstrual period or has a positive urine 
dipstick test.

CC-10004-PSOR-022 Amendment 2 Final: 21 Nov 2018

Hepatitis B and C
Hepatitis testing will include hepatitis B surface antigen and anti-hepatitis C antibody.

Vital Signs, Height, and Weight
Vital signs, including temperature, pulse, and seated blood pressure, will be taken 
during the visits indicated in Table 3.  Height will be measured and recorded at 
Screening; weight will also be measured and recorded at screening and then as 
indicated in Table 3.  Body mass index (BMI) will be calculated at Screening.

Complete Physical Examination
A complete physical examination includes evaluations of skin, nasal cavities, eyes, 
ears, lymph nodes, and respiratory, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, neurological, and 
musculoskeletal systems.  The complete physical examination is done at screening 
and at the Early Termination or Last Treatment Visit (Visit 10).

Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS)
The C-SSRS (Posner, 2007) is a scale that captures the occurrence, severity, and
frequency of suicide-related ideations and behaviors during the assessment period
(Appendix F). The C-SSRS must be administered by appropriately trained site 
personnel. The C-SSRS will be completed at all study visits. At Visit 1 (Screening) 
the C-SSRS will be completed for the subject’s lifetime history of suicidal ideation 
and behavior. At all other visits the C-SSRS will be completed for ideation and 
behavior since the previous visit.

Psychiatric Evaluation
Apremilast prescriber information (eg, Summary of Product Characteristics, Package 
Insert) includes a warning regarding depression and suicidal thoughts. Patients with 
chronic diseases may be prone to depression. The risks and benefits of starting or 
continuing treatment with apremilast should be carefully assessed if patients report 
previous or existing psychiatric symptoms or if concomitant treatment with other 
medicinal products likely to cause psychiatric events is intended. At any time during 
the study, subjects who have suicidal thoughts or behavior should be evaluated. If the 
psychiatrist deems the subject not to be a risk for suicide, the subject may remain in 
the study, but if a risk of suicide is confirmed, the subject must be discontinued from 
the study. If the subject is discontinued during the treatment phase of the study, the 
subject should return for the Observational Follow-up Visit.
A copy of the psychiatric evaluation report must be in the subject’s source 
documentation, especially if the subject is confirmed not to be at risk for suicide and 
is continuing in the study.

Clinical Laboratory Evaluations
Clinical laboratory evaluations will be performed by a central laboratory and as 
indicated in Table 3.  Clinical laboratory evaluations include complete blood count 
(red blood cell [RBC] count, hemoglobin, hematocrit, white blood cell [WBC] count 
and differential, absolute WBC counts, platelet count); serum chemistries (total

CO2], blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, lactate dehydrogenase [LDH], and 
magnesium); as well as 
and dipstick urinalysis (specific gravity, 
pH, glucose, ketones, protein, blood, bilirubin, leukocyte esterase, nitrite, and 
urobilinogen).  Dipstick urinalysis will be performed by the central laboratory; 
microscopic urinalysis (epithelial cells, RBC, WBC, and casts) will be performed 
only if the dipstick urinalysis is abnormal.
Fasting is not required.  However, if significant elevation of serum lipid(s) is 
observed, a fasting retest should be requested to determine whether or not elevation 
was caused by eating.  

Psoriasis Flare Assessments
Psoriasis flare represents an atypical or unusual worsening of disease during 
treatment (Carey, 2006).  It is defined as a sudden intensification of psoriasis 
requiring medical intervention or a diagnosis of new generalized erythrodermic, 
inflammatory, or pustular psoriasis.  A more typical, gradual worsening of plaque 
psoriasis would not be recorded as an AE. 

Adverse Events
Details of AE reporting may be found in Section 10.1.

Subject Reported Outcomes or Health-related Quality of Life 
Assessment
6.8.1.
Whole Body Itch Numeric Rating Scale Assessment
Prior to any other procedures or assessments being performed during the treatment 
period, the subject will be asked to assess whole body itch and select a number on a 
scale of 0-10, where “0” represents no itch, and “10” represents the worst imaginable 
itch.  The number selected by the subject will be recorded in the database.  See 
Appendix G.
The Whole Body Itch NRS scale has been validated among patients with moderate to 
severe plaque psoriasis, and a 4-point change from baseline was shown to be optimal 
for demonstrating a level of clinically meaningful improvement in itch severity
(Kimball, 2016).
6.8.2.
Dermatology Life Quality Index 
The DLQI was developed as a simple, compact, and practical questionnaire for use in 
a dermatology clinical setting to assess limitations related to the impact of skin 
disease (Finlay, 1994).  The instrument contains 10 items dealing with the subject’s 
skin.  With the exception of Item Number 7, the subject responds on a four-point 
scale, ranging from “Very Much” to “Not at All.”  Item Number 7 is a multi-part 
item, the first part of which ascertains whether the subject’s skin prevented them from 
working or studying (Yes or No), and if “No,” then the subject is asked how much of 
a problem the skin has been at work or study over the past week, with response 
alternatives being “A lot,” “A little,” or “Not at all.”  
The DLQI Total score has a possible range from 0 to 30, with 30 corresponding to the 
worst health-related quality of life, and 0 corresponding to the best score.  The 
developers suggest that the DLQI can be grouped into six subscales: symptoms and 
feelings; daily activities; leisure; work/school; personal relationships; and treatment.  
Scores for four of the subscales (symptoms and feelings, daily activities, leisure, and 
personal relationships) range from 0 to 6; scores for two of the subscales 
(work/school and treatment) range from 0 to 3.  Higher scores correspond to poorer 
health-related quality of life.  See Appendix H.

DESCRIPTION OF STUDY TREATMENTS
7.1.
Description of Investigational Product(s)
The chemical name of apremilast (CC-10004) is acetamide, N-[2-[(1S)-1-(3-ethoxy-4-
methoxyphenyl)-2-(methylsulfonyl)ethyl]-2,3-dihydro-1,3-dioxo-1H-isoindol-4-yl].
Apremilast will be supplied by the Sponsor, Celgene Corporation, and labeled appropriately as 
investigational product for this study.  
All IP will be provided in blister cards throughout the entire study.  Apremilast will be provided 
as 10, 20, or 30 mg tablets.  Placebo will be provided as identically appearing 10, 20, or 30 mg 
tablets. Apremilast, the investigational product (IP), will be taken orally twice daily, 
approximately 12 hours apart, without restriction of food or drink.  To mitigate potential 
gastrointestinal (GI) side effects, dose titration will be implemented in the first week of this study 
(see Table 4).
During Week 0 (Days 1 to 7), subjects will be dispensed placebo or 30 mg BID titration and 
treatment blister cards with 10, 20, and 30 mg apremilast tablets or identically appearing placebo 
tablets.  The blister cards will contain all IP required for 4 weeks of treatment, with the first 7 
days containing the titration supplies or matching placebo (see Table 4 Treatment Schema for 
Dose Titration at Visit 2 [Week 0] which details the titration supplies from Day 1 to Day 7).
At Visit 2 (Week 0), subjects who meet entry criteria will be randomized using a permuted block 
randomization in parallel 1:1 to receive either apremilast 30 mg BID or placebo, using a 
centralized Interactive Response Technology (IRT).  Treatment assignment will be stratified by 
baseline sPGA score [mild (2), or moderate (3)]. Approximately 30% of subjects randomized 
will have baseline sPGA score of mild (2) and approximately 70% of subjects will have a 
baseline sPGA score of moderate (3). The IRT system will monitor the total enrollment of each 
strata and screening will close once the approximate percentages are reached. IP will be 
dispensed as indicated below.

originally randomized to placebo at Week 0 will be switched to apremilast 30 mg BID at 
Week 16. The 30 mg BID titration and treatment blister cards will be used for subjects switching 
from placebo to apremilast; dummy titration blister cards (dosing at 30 mg BID directly) will be 
used for subjects initially randomized to receive apremilast 30 mg BID. At all other visits during 
the Apremilast Extension Phase, all subjects will receive apremilast 30 mg tablets which are to 
be taken twice daily.

7.2.
Treatment Administration and Schedule
Investigational product will be taken orally twice daily, approximately 12 hours apart, without 
restriction of food or drink.  To mitigate potential gastrointestinal (GI) side effects, dose titration 
will be implemented in this study.  During Week 0 (Days 1 to 7) and Week 16 (when placebo 
subjects are switched to receive apremilast 30 mg BID), subjects will be dispensed blister cards 
with 10, 20, and 30 mg apremilast tablets or identically appearing placebo tablets for the dose 
titration.  At all other visits where IP is dispensed, apremilast will be provided in blister cards as 
10, 20, and 30 mg tablets or identically appearing placebo tablets.  The treatment schema for 
dose titration at baseline and Week 16 is shown in Table 4 and Table 5.  Blister card 
configurations are pictured in Appendix I, Appendix J, and Appendix K.
7.3.
Overdose
Overdose, as defined for this protocol, applies to protocol-required dosing of the investigational 
product(s) only.  Therefore, for a drug to be subject to the overdose definition it must be both 
required and an investigational drug.  In this study the only required and investigational drug is 
apremilast and the control arm drug (ie, placebo), hence the overdose definition will apply to 
only apremilast (or matching placebo).  Other required or optional non-IP intended for 
prophylaxis of certain side effects are excluded from this definition.
Overdose for this protocol, on a per dose basis, is defined as ingestion of 4 or more 30 mg 
apremilast (or matching placebo) tablets in any 24-hour period whether by accident or 
intentionally. On a schedule or frequency basis, an overdose is defined as dosing more than 4 
times during any 24-hour period.
7.4.
Method of Treatment Assignment
At Visit 2 (Week 0), subjects who meet entry criteria will be randomized using a permuted block 
randomization in parallel 1:1 to receive either apremilast 30 mg BID or placebo, using a 
centralized Interactive Response Technology (IRT).  Designated research personnel at the 
investigational sites will be assigned password protected, coded identification numbers, which 
gives them authorization to enter the IRT to randomize subjects.  
The system will present a menu of questions by which the research center personnel will identify 
the subject and confirm eligibility. When all questions have been answered and the subject 
deemed eligible, the IRT will assign a randomization identification number.  
Confirmation of the randomization will be sent to the investigational site, Celgene, and/or its 
representative. The confirmation reports should be maintained as source documents.  During the 
study visits, the pharmacy or authorized study personnel at the investigational site will dispense 
coded IP kits in accordance with the randomization number assigned by the IRT.
7.5.
Packaging and Labeling
The label(s) for IP will include Sponsor name, address and telephone number, the protocol 
number, IP name, dosage form and strength (where applicable), amount of IP per container, lot 
number, expiry date (where applicable), medication identification/kit number, dosing 
instructions, storage conditions, and required caution statements and/or regulatory statements as

applicable. Additional information may be included on the label as applicable per local 
regulations.
7.6.
Investigational Product Accountability and Disposal 
The Investigator(s) or designee(s) is responsible for accounting for all IP that is issued to and 
returned by the subject during the course of the study.
The Investigator(s) or designee(s) is responsible for taking an inventory of each shipment of IP 
received, and comparing it with the accompanying IP accountability form.  The Investigator(s) or 
Pharmacist(s) will verify the accuracy of the information on the form, sign and date it, retain a 
copy in the study file, and return a copy to Celgene.
At the study site, all IP will be stored in a locked, safe area to prevent unauthorized access.
The IP should be stored as directed on the package label.
Celgene (or designee) will review with the Investigator and relevant site personnel the process 
for investigational product return, disposal, and/or destruction including responsibilities for the 
site versus Celgene (or designee).
7.7.
Investigational Product Compliance
Study personnel will review the instructions printed on the package with the study subjects prior 
to dispensing the IP.  Investigational product will be dispensed as noted in the Table of Events, 
Table 3.  The subjects will be instructed to return the IP containers, including any unused 
medication, to the study site at each visit for tablet counts and reconciliation.  Subjects will be 
asked whether they have taken their IP as instructed at each study visit.  Any problems with IP 
compliance will be reviewed with the subject.  If a subject misses 4 or more consecutive days of 
dosing, Celgene should be contacted to decide whether dosing should resume or whether the 
subject should be terminated from the Treatment Phase of the study, and enter into the 
Observational Follow-up Phase.
Gross compliance problems (eg, missing 4 or more consecutive days of dosing or taking less 
than 75% or more than 120% of the doses between study visits) are protocol deviations and 
should be discussed with Celgene.  Overall compliance with the study treatment regimen is 
defined as taking between 75% and 120% of the expected doses during a subject’s participation 
while in the treatment phases (Placebo-controlled Phase and Apremilast Extension Phases) of the 
study.

STATISTICAL CONSIDERATIONS
9.1.
Overview
This is a Phase 3, multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study of the 
efficacy and safety of apremilast (CC-10004) in subjects with mild to moderate plaque psoriasis. 
Treatment assignment will be stratified by baseline sPGA score [mild (2), or moderate (3)]. 
Approximately 30% of subjects randomized will have baseline sPGA score of mild (2) and 
approximately 70% of subjects will have a baseline sPGA score of moderate (3).
The objective of the statistical analysis will be to evaluate the efficacy and safety of apremilast 
30 mg BID versus placebo for 16 weeks, and to evaluate the effects of apremilast 30 mg BID as 
a treatment for up to 32 weeks in subjects with mild to moderate plaque psoriasis.
After all subjects have completed the Placebo-controlled Phase (Weeks 0 to 16), the primary 
analysis will be performed.  At the study completion, ie, when all subjects have also completed 
the Apremilast Extension Phase (Weeks 16 to 32) and the Observational Follow-up Phase, the 
final analysis will be performed. To maintain the blind at the site and subject level, the individual 
subject treatment assignments will not be revealed to the investigators until after the final 
database lock following the study completion.
9.2.
Study Population Definitions
The intent-to-treat (ITT) population will consist of all subjects who are randomized. Subjects 
will be included in the treatment group to which they are randomized.
The safety population will consist of all subjects who are randomized and receive at least one 
dose of IP (IP).  Subjects will be included in the treatment group corresponding to the IP they 
actually receive.
The per protocol (PP) population will consist of all subjects included in the ITT population who 
receive at least one dose of IP (IP), have both baseline and at least one post-treatment sPGA 
evaluation, and have no important protocol deviations which may affect analyses in the Placebo-
controlled Phase
9.3.
Sample Size and Power Considerations
The sample size estimation is based on the results of the Phase 3 and 4 studies with apremilast. 
With a total of approximately 574 subjects and a randomization ratio of 1:1, the study will 
randomize approximately 287 subjects to apremilast 30 mg BID and 287 subjects to placebo. 
This sample size will provide more than 90% power to detect a 15% difference between the two 
treatment groups for the primary endpoint at a two-sided significance level of 0.05. The 
calculation is based on a chi-square test assuming 15% response rate for placebo and adjusting 
for a 20% dropout rate.
9.4.
Background and Demographic Characteristics
Subject’s age, height, weight, and baseline characteristics will be summarized using descriptive 
statistics, while sex, race and other categorical variables will be provided using frequency

tabulations.  Medical history data will be summarized using frequency tabulations by Medical 
Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA) system organ class and preferred term.
9.5.
Subject Disposition
Subject disposition (analysis population allocation, entered, discontinued, along with primary 
reason for discontinuation) will be summarized using frequency tabulations and percent for the 
Placebo-controlled Phase (Weeks 0 to 16) and the Apremilast Extension Phase (Weeks 16 to 32).  
A summary of subjects enrolled by site will be provided. Protocol deviations will be summarized 
using frequency distributions.
9.6.
Efficacy Analysis
9.6.1.
Efficacy Evaluation for the Placebo-controlled Phase (Weeks 0 to 16)
For the Placebo-controlled Phase (Weeks 0 to 16), the analyses for efficacy endpoints will be 
based on the intent-to-treat (ITT) population, defined as all subjects who are randomized. 
Statistical comparisons will be made between apremilast 30 mg BID and placebo. All statistical 
tests will be at the two-sided 0.05 significance level and the corresponding p-values and 95% 
confidence intervals (CIs) will be reported.
9.6.1.1.
Primary Efficacy Endpoint
The primary endpoint is the proportions of subjects who achieving sPGA response at Week 16 
(defined as sPGA score of clear [0] or almost clear [1] and with at least a 2-point reduction from 
baseline at Week 16). It will be analyzed using the ITT population. A sensitivity analysis will be 
performed using the PP population.
The primary endpoint will be analyzed using the Cochran–Mantel–Haenszel (CMH) test 
adjusting for the stratification factor at randomization. The two-sided p-values from the CMH 
test, the adjusted treatment difference in proportion using the weighted average of the treatment 
differences across the strata with the CMH weights, along with the associated two-sided 95% CIs 
using a normal approximation to the weighted average will be provided. 
Missing values at Week 16 will be imputed using the multiple imputation (MI) method (SAS 
Institute Inc., 2011) based on similar subjects who remained in the study as the primary method. 
Sensitivity analysis will be conducted to account for missing data using the non-responder 
imputation (NRI) method and the tipping point analysis.  Details of the NRI method and the 
tipping point analysis will be provided in the Statistical Analysis Plan (SAP).
For the multiple imputation method, the SAS procedure MI will be used to impute missing sPGA 
scores at the scheduled analysis visits in the Placebo-controlled Phase (Weeks 0 to 16) to create 
M=50 complete data sets. The missing data patterns will be checked at the scheduled analysis 
visits, ie, Baseline (Week 0), and Weeks 2, 4, 8, 12 and 16. If there are non-monotone missing 
patterns, two steps will be used to complete the imputation process. 
In the first step, the Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method will be used with a single 
chain to impute missing scores by treatment and stratification factor to create M=50 imputed data 
sets with monotone missing patterns. In case there are convergence issues, a simple model will 
be used to impute the missing scores by treatment, with further simplification by dropping both

treatment and stratification factor in imputation model if necessary. The seed will be set to 
17813721. The imputed scores will be rounded to the nearest integer. The minimum and the 
maximum values for imputation will be 0 and 4, which correspond to the lowest and the highest 
sPGA scores.
In the second step, the predictive mean matching method will be used to impute the remaining 
missing scores for the 50 data sets with monotone missing patterns. The imputation procedure 
will use monotone statement to create one complete data set for each of the monotone data set 
from the first step, and the variables will include treatment arm, stratification factor, and sPGA 
scores at scheduled analysis visits from baseline to Week 16. The seed will be set to 55218163.
After the completion of imputation, sPGA response at Week 16 will be derived based on both 
observed and imputed scores. The same CMH method will be used to analyze the 50 complete 
data sets and the SAS procedure MIANALYZE will be used to combine the results for the 
statistical inferences. 
9.6.1.2.
Secondary Efficacy Endpoints 
The secondary efficacy endpoints will be analyzed based on the ITT population. The two-sided 
p-values and two-sided 95% confidence intervals (CIs) will be reported for treatment difference 
between apremilast and placebo arms. Multiplicity adjustment will be specified in the next 
section.
The continuous endpoints will be analyzed using a mixed-effect model for repeated measures 
(MMRM) as the primary method. The MMRM model will use the change from baseline as the 
response variable and include treatment group, visit time, treatment-by-time interaction, and 
stratification factor as fixed effects, and the baseline value as a covariate. An unstructured 
covariance matrix will be used to model the correlation among repeated measurements. The 
Kenward-Roger adjustment will be used with restricted maximum likelihood (REML) to make 
proper statistical inference. Within-group least-squares (LS) means and the associated standard 
errors (SEs) and two-sided 95% CIs, treatment differences in LS means and the associated two-
sided 95% CIs and two-sided p-values will be derived from the MMRM model. A sensitivity 
analysis will be conducted using the analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model with treatment 
and stratification factor as the fixed effects, the baseline value as the covariate and the LOCF 
method to impute the missing data.
The binary endpoints will be analyzed similarly as the primary endpoint using the CMH test
adjusting for the stratification factor at randomization. The two-sided p-values from the CMH 
test, the adjusted treatment difference in proportion using the weighted average of the treatment 
differences across the strata with the CMH weights, along with the associated two-sided 95% CIs 
using a normal approximation to the weighted average will be provided. Missing values at Week 
16 will be imputed using the multiple imputation (MI) method (SAS Institute Inc., 2011) based 
on similar subjects who remained in the study as the primary method. Sensitivity analysis will be 
conducted to account for missing data using the last observation carried forward (LOCF) method 
and the non-responder imputation (NRI) method. 
9.6.1.3.
Multiplicity Adjustment
The primary and secondary efficacy endpoints will be hierarchically ranked for testing in order 
to control the overall type I error rate in claiming statistical significance at the two-sided 0.05

significance level. Specifically, for the primary efficacy endpoint (sPGA response at Week 16), 
if the two-sided p-value from the comparison between apremilast arm and placebo arm is below 
0.05, the outcome will be considered statistically significant and apremilast will be declared 
effective. For any secondary endpoint, statistical significance will be claimed only if its two-
sided p-value is below 0.05 and tests for the primary endpoint and all previous secondary 
endpoints are significant at the two-sided 0.05 level. The proposed test sequence for the primary 
and secondary efficacy endpoints is listed as the following:

Proportion of subjects with sPGA score of clear (0) or almost clear (1) and with at 
least a 2-point reduction from baseline at Week 16

Proportion of subjects who improved ≥ 75% in BSA from baseline

Change from baseline in affected BSA at Week 16

Change from baseline in total PASI score at Week 16

In subjects with BSA > 3% at baseline, proportion of subjects who achieved BSA ≤
3% at Week 16

In subjects with whole body Itch NRS score ≥ 4 at baseline, proportion of subjects 
with ≥4-point reduction (improvement) from baseline in the whole body itch NRS 
score at Week 16

In subjects with ScPGA score ≥ 2 at baseline, proportion of subjects with ScPGA 
score of clear (0) or almost clear (1) with at least a 2-point reduction from baseline at 
Week 16

Change from baseline in DLQI total score at Week 16

Subgroup Analysis 
Subgroup analyses for sPGA response at Week 16 based upon baseline demographic (age, 
gender, race, etc.) or baseline disease characteristics will be provided to determine the robustness 
of the treatment effect.
9.6.2.
Efficacy Evaluation – Apremilast Extension Phase (Weeks 16 to 32)
Efficacy endpoints for time points beyond Week 16 will be summarized according to the 
treatment assigned at randomization. For all subjects, changes in measurements will be 
calculated relative to measurements obtained at baseline (Week 0). Descriptive summary 
statistics or proportion of subjects achieving specified criteria will be summarized by treatment 
group. For continuous variables, descriptive statistics for baseline and changes or percent 
changes from baseline will be provided. Categorical variables will be summarized with 
frequency tabulations.  Two-sided 95% confidence intervals will be provided for changes or 
percent changes and response rates.

Safety Analysis
The safety analyses will be performed using the safety population, defined as all subjects who 
are randomized and receive at least one dose of investigational product. Safety will be assessed 
by clinical review of all relevant parameters including treatment emergent adverse events 
(TEAEs), laboratory tests, and vital signs; no inferential testing for statistical significance will be 
performed. Data from safety assessments will be summarized descriptively for the Placebo-
controlled Phase (Weeks 0 to 16) and the Apremilast Exposure Period when subjects receive 
apremilast treatment. For safety analyses in the Placebo-controlled Phase, baseline will be 
relative to the first dose date following randomization at Week 0. For safety analyses in 
Apremilast Exposure Period, baseline will be relative to the first apremilast dose date at Week 0 
for subjects initially randomized to apremilast or Week 16 for subjects initially randomized to 
placebo and switched to apremilast in the Apremilast Extension Phase (Weeks 16 to 32).
Adverse events will be classified using the Medical Dictionary for Drug Regulatory Activities 
(MedDRA) classification system.  All TEAEs will be summarized by system organ class, 
preferred term, severity and relationship to investigational product.  TEAEs leading to death or to 
discontinuation from treatment and SAEs will be summarized and listed separately.
Data from other safety assessments will be summarized descriptively.  Shift tables for laboratory 
parameters showing the number of subjects with values low, normal, and high compare to the 
normal reference ranges pretreatment versus post treatment will be provided.
To account for the different exposure to the investigational product, AEs or marked laboratory 
abnormalities will also be summarized using the exposure adjusted incidence rate, in addition to 
the simple incidence rates.
9.8.
Interim Analysis
No interim analysis will be conducted.
After all subjects have completed the Week 16 Visit (or discontinued from the study), a Week 16 
database restriction will be performed, the primary data analysis will be conducted and a Week 
16 CSR will be generated.  However, unblinded data will only be made available to select 
Sponsor and Contract Research Organization (CRO) team members involved with analysis of the 
data and preparation of the Week 16 CSR.  All other Sponsor, site, and CRO personnel directly 
involved with the conduct of the study, will remain blinded to treatment assignments until the 
final database lock at the conclusion of the study.  At the end of the study, after all subjects have 
completed, or have been discontinued from the Apremilast Extension Phase (Weeks 16 to 32) 
and the Observational Follow-up Phase, the final analysis will be performed and a final CSR will 
be generated.

ADVERSE EVENTS
10.1.
Monitoring, Recording and Reporting of Adverse Events
An AE is any noxious, unintended, or untoward medical occurrence that may appear or worsen 
in a subject during the course of a study. It may be a new intercurrent illness, a worsening 
concomitant illness, an injury, or any concomitant impairment of the subject’s health, including 
laboratory test values (as specified by the criteria in Section 10.3), regardless of etiology. Any 
worsening (ie, any clinically significant adverse change in the frequency or intensity of a pre-
existing condition) should be considered an AE.  A diagnosis or syndrome should be recorded on 
the AE page of the CRF rather than the individual signs or symptoms of the diagnosis or 
syndrome. 
Abuse, withdrawal, sensitivity or toxicity to an investigational product should be reported as an 
AE. Overdose, accidental or intentional, whether or not it is associated with an AE should be 
reported on the overdose CRF. (See Section 7.3 for the definition of overdose.) Any sequela of 
an accidental or intentional overdose of an investigational product which meets the definition of 
an adverse event, should be reported as an AE on the CRF. If the sequela of an overdose meets 
serious criteria, then it must be marked as serious on the CRF. The overdose itself should not be 
reported as an AE.
In the event of overdose, the subject should be monitored as appropriate and should receive 
supportive measures as necessary. There is no known specific antidote for apremilast overdose. 
Actual treatment should depend on the severity of the clinical situation and the judgment and 
experience of the treating physician.
All subjects will be monitored for AEs during the study.  Assessments may include monitoring 
of any or all of the following parameters:  the subject’s clinical symptoms, laboratory, 
pathological, radiological or surgical findings, physical examination findings, or findings from 
other tests and/or procedures.
All AEs will be recorded by the Investigator from the time the subject signs informed consent 
until 28 days after the last dose of IP as well as those SAEs made known to the Investigator at 
any time thereafter that are suspected of being related to IP. All adverse events (serious/non-
serious) will be recorded on the CRF and in the subject’s source documents.  All SAEs must be 
reported to Celgene Drug Safety within 24 hours of the Investigator’s knowledge of the event by 
recording on the CRF and transmitting the data electronically.  In the event the CRF is not 
available for transmission, a paper SAE Report Form will be sent directly to Celgene Drug 
Safety.  The event must also be reported on the CRF once available.
10.2.
Evaluation of Adverse Events
A qualified Investigator will evaluate all AEs as to: 
10.2.1.
Seriousness 
An SAE is any AE occurring at any dose that:

Results in death;

Apremilast
Protocol CC-10004-PSOR-022
Celgene Corporation

56
CC-10004-PSOR-022 Amendment 2 Final: 21 Nov 2018

Is life-threatening (ie, in the opinion of the Investigator, the subject is at immediate 
risk of death from the AE);

Requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization 
(hospitalization is defined as an inpatient admission, regardless of length of stay);

Results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity (a substantial disruption of the 
subject’s ability to conduct normal life functions);

Is a congenital anomaly/birth defect;

Constitutes an important medical event.
Important medical events are defined as those occurrences that may not be immediately life-
threatening or result in death, hospitalization, or disability, but may jeopardize the subject or 
require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the other outcomes listed above.  
Medical and scientific judgment should be exercised in deciding whether such an AE should be 
considered serious.
Events not considered to be SAEs are hospitalizations for:

a standard procedure for protocol therapy administration.  However, hospitalization or 
prolonged hospitalization for a complication of therapy administration will be 
reported as an SAE. 

routine treatment or monitoring of the studied indication not associated with any 
deterioration in condition.

the administration of blood or platelet transfusion as routine treatment of studied 
indication. However, hospitalization or prolonged hospitalization for a complication 
of such transfusion remains a reportable SAE.

a procedure for protocol/disease-related investigations (eg, surgery, scans, endoscopy, 
sampling for laboratory tests, bone marrow sampling).  However, hospitalization or 
prolonged hospitalization for a complication of such procedures remains a reportable 
SAE.

hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization for technical, practical, or social 
reasons, in absence of an AE.

a procedure that is planned (ie, planned prior to start of treatment on study); must be 
documented in the source document and the CRF.  Hospitalization or prolonged 
hospitalization for a complication remains a reportable SAE.

an elective treatment of or an elective procedure for a pre-existing condition, 
unrelated to the studied indication, that has not worsened from baseline. 

emergency outpatient treatment or observation that does not result in admission, 
unless fulfilling other seriousness criteria above.
All SAEs must be reported to Celgene Drug Safety within 24 hours of the Investigator’s 
knowledge of the event by recording them on the CRF, or other appropriate method as directed.

For each AE, the Investigator will provide information on severity, start and stop dates, 
relationship to the IP, action taken regarding the IP, and outcome.
10.2.2.
Severity/Intensity
For all AEs, the Investigator must assess the severity/ intensity of the event. 
Mild

Asymptomatic or mild symptoms; clinical or diagnostic observations only

Intervention not indicated

Activities of daily life (ADLs) minimally or not affected

No or minimal intervention/therapy may be required 
Moderate 

Symptom(s) cause moderate discomfort

Local or noninvasive intervention indicated

More than minimal interference with ADLs but able to carry out daily social and 
functional activities.

Drug therapy may be required
Severe (could be non-serious or serious) 

Symptoms causing severe discomfort/pain

Symptoms requiring medical/surgical attention/intervention

Interference with ADLs including inability to perform daily social and functional 
activities (eg, absenteeism and/or bed rest)

Drug therapy is required
The term “severe” is often used to describe the intensity of a specific event (as in mild, moderate 
or severe myocardial infarction); the event itself, however, may be of relatively minor medical 
significance (such as severe headache).  This criterion is not the same as “serious” which is 
based on subject/event outcome or action criteria associated with events that pose a threat to a 
subject’s life or functioning.  
Seriousness, not severity, serves as a guide for defining regulatory reporting obligations.

10.2.3.
Causality
The Investigator must determine the relationship between the administration of the IP and the 
occurrence of an AE/SAE as Not Suspected or Suspected as defined below:
Not suspected:
a causal relationship of the AE to IP administration is unlikely 
or remote, or other medications, therapeutic interventions, or 
underlying conditions provide a sufficient explanation for the 
observed event.
Suspected:
there is a reasonable possibility that the administration of IP 
caused the AE.  ‘Reasonable possibility’ means there is 
evidence to suggest a causal relationship between the IP and the 
AE.
Causality should be assessed and provided for every AE/SAE based on currently available 
information.  Causality is to be reassessed and provided as additional information becomes 
available.
If an event is assessed as suspected of being related to a comparator, ancillary or additional IP 
that has not been manufactured or provided by Celgene, please provide the name of the 
manufacturer when reporting the event.
10.2.4.
Duration
For each AE, the Investigator will provide a record of the start and stop dates of the event.
10.2.5.
Action Taken
The Investigator will report the action taken with IP as a result of each AE, as applicable (eg, 
discontinuation, interruption, or dose modification, as appropriate) and report if concomitant 
and/or additional treatments were given for the event. 
10.2.6.
Outcome
The Investigator will report the outcome of the event for each AE.
All SAEs that have not resolved upon discontinuation of the subject’s participation in the study 
must be followed until recovered (returned to baseline), recovered with sequelae, or death (due to 
the SAE).
10.3.
Abnormal Laboratory Values
An abnormal laboratory value is considered to be an AE if the abnormality:

results in discontinuation from the study;

requires treatment, modification/ interruption of IP dose, or any other therapeutic 
intervention; or


is judged to be of significant clinical importance, eg, one that indicates a new disease 
process and/or organ toxicity or is an exacerbation or worsening of an existing 
condition.
Regardless of severity grade, only laboratory abnormalities that fulfill a seriousness criterion 
need to be documented as a SAE.
If a laboratory abnormality is one component of a diagnosis or syndrome, then only the diagnosis 
or syndrome should be recorded as the AE on the CRF.  If the abnormality was not a part of a 
diagnosis or syndrome, then the laboratory abnormality should be recorded as the AE. If 
possible, the laboratory abnormality should be recorded as a medical term and not simply as an 
abnormal laboratory result (eg, record thrombocytopenia rather than decreased platelets).
10.4.
Pregnancy
All pregnancies or suspected pregnancies occurring in a female subject of childbearing potential
are immediately reportable events.  
Pregnancies and suspected pregnancies (including elevated βhCG or positive pregnancy test in a 
female subject of childbearing potential regardless of disease state) occurring while the subject is 
on IP, or within 28 days of the subject’s last dose of IP, are considered immediately reportable 
events.  Investigational product is to be discontinued immediately and the subject instructed to 
return any unused portion of the IP to the Investigator. The pregnancy, suspected pregnancy, or 
positive pregnancy test must be reported to Celgene Drug Safety immediately by email, phone or 
facsimile, or other appropriate method, using the Pregnancy Initial Report Form, or approved 
equivalent form.  
The Investigator will follow the female subject until completion of the pregnancy and must 
notify Celgene Drug Safety immediately about the outcome of the pregnancy (either normal or 
abnormal outcome) using the Pregnancy Follow-up Report Form or approved equivalent form.
If the outcome of the pregnancy was abnormal (eg, spontaneous abortion), the Investigator 
should report the abnormal outcome as an AE.  If the abnormal outcome meets any of the serious 
criteria, it must be reported as an SAE to Celgene Drug Safety by facsimile, or other appropriate 
method, within 24 hours of the Investigator’s knowledge of the event using the SAE Report 
Form or approved equivalent form.
All neonatal deaths that occur within 28 days of birth should be reported, without regard to 
causality, as SAEs.  In addition, any infant death after 28 days that the Investigator suspects is 
related to the in utero exposure to the IP should also be reported to Celgene Drug Safety by 
facsimile, or other appropriate method, within 24 hours of the Investigator’s knowledge of the 
event using the SAE Report Form, or approved equivalent form.
10.5.
Reporting of Serious Adverse Events
Any AE that meets any criterion for an SAE requires the completion of the relevant CRFs. All 
SAEs must be reported to Celgene Drug Safety by recording them on the CRF and transmitting 
the data electronically within 24 hours of the Investigator’s knowledge of the event. In the event 
the CRF is not available for transmission, a paper SAE Report Form will be sent directly to 
Celgene Drug Safety.  The event must also be reported on the CRF once available.  This

CC-10004-PSOR-022 Amendment 2 Final: 21 Nov 2018
instruction pertains to the initial reporting of an SAE as well as reporting any follow-up 
information.
The Investigator is required to ensure that the data on these forms is accurate and consistent.  
This requirement applies to all SAEs (regardless of relationship to IP) that occur during the study 
(from the time the subject signs informed consent until 28 days after the last dose of IP) or any 
SAE made known to the Investigator at any time thereafter that are suspected of being related to 
IP.  Serious adverse events occurring prior to treatment (after signing the ICF) will be captured
within the CRF but will not be transmitted electronically to Celgene Drug Safety.
Where required by local legislation, the Investigator is responsible for informing the Institutional 
Review Board/Ethics Committee (IRB/EC) of the SAE and providing them with all relevant 
initial and follow-up information about the event. The Investigator must keep copies of all SAE 
source documents and all correspondence with the IRB/EC.
10.5.1.
Safety Queries
Queries pertaining to SAEs will be generated from Celgene Drug Safety to the site via the CRF.
10.6.
Expedited Reporting of Adverse Events
For the purpose of regulatory reporting, Celgene Drug Safety will determine the expectedness of 
events suspected of being related to apremilast based on the Investigator Brochure.
In the United States, all suspected unexpected serious adverse reactions (SUSARs) will be 
reported in an expedited manner in accordance with 21 CFR 312.32.
Celgene or its authorized representative shall notify the Investigator of the following information 

Any AE suspected of being related to the use of IP in this study or in other studies 
that is both serious and unexpected (ie, SUSAR);

Any finding from tests in laboratory animals that suggests a significant risk for 
human subjects including reports of mutagenicity, teratogenicity, or carcinogenicity.
Where required by local legislation, the Investigator shall notify his/her IRB/EC promptly of 
these new serious and unexpected AE(s) or significant risks to subjects.
The Investigator must keep copies of all pertinent safety information on file including 
correspondence with the IRB/EC.  (See Section 14.3 for record retention information).

DISCONTINUATIONS
11.1.
Treatment Discontinuation
The following events are considered sufficient reasons for discontinuing a subject from the 
investigational product(s):

Adverse Event

Lack of efficacy

Withdrawal by subject

Death

Lost to follow-up

Non-compliance with IP

The reason for discontinuation of treatment should be recorded in the CRF and in the source 
documents.
When a subject is discontinued from treatment, the Investigator should make every attempt 
possible to have the subject evaluated at the Early Termination Visit within 4 days of the last 
intake of IP.
The decision to discontinue a subject from treatment remains the responsibility of the treating 
physician, which will not be delayed or refused by the Sponsor.  However, prior to discontinuing 
a subject, the Investigator may contact the Medical Monitor and forward appropriate supporting
documents for review and discussion.

EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
12.1.
Emergency Contact
In emergency situations, the Investigator should contact the responsible Clinical Research 
Physician/Medical Monitor or designee by telephone at the number(s) listed on the Emergency 
Contact Information page of the protocol (after title page).
In the unlikely event that the Clinical Research Physician/Medical Monitor or designee cannot be 
reached, please contact the global Emergency Call Center by telephone at the number listed on 
the Emergency Contact Information page of the protocol (after title page). This global 
Emergency Call Center is available 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. The representatives are 
responsible for obtaining your call-back information and contacting the on-call Celgene/contract 
research organization Medical Monitor, who will then contact you promptly.
Note: The back-up 24-hour global emergency contact call center should only be used if you are 
not able to reach the Clinical Research Physician(s) or Medical Monitor or designee for 
emergency calls. 
12.2.
Emergency Identification of Investigational Products
The blind must not be broken during the course of the study unless in the opinion of the 
Investigator, it is absolutely necessary to safely treat the subject.  If it is medically imperative to 
know what IP the subject is receiving, IP should be temporarily discontinued if, in the opinion of 
the Investigator, continuing IP can negatively affect the outcome of the subject’s treatment.
The decision to break the blind in emergency situations remains the responsibility of the treating 
physician, which will not be delayed or refused by the Sponsor.  However, the Investigator may 
contact the Medical Monitor prior to breaking the blind to discuss unblinding, mainly in the 
interest of the subject. 
The Investigator should ensure that the code is broken only in accordance with the protocol. The 
Investigator should promptly notify the Medical Monitor of the emergency unblinding and the 
reason for breaking the blind, which should be clearly documented by the Investigator in the 
subject’s source documentation.
Emergency unblinding should only be performed by the Investigator through the IRT by using an 
emergency unblinding personal identification number (PIN), and the Investigator should call IRT 
for unblended dose information.

REGULATORY CONSIDERATIONS
13.1.
Good Clinical Practice
The procedures set out in this study protocol pertaining to the conduct, evaluation, and 
documentation of this study are designed to ensure that Celgene, its authorized representative, 
and Investigator abide by Good Clinical Practice (GCP), as described in International Council for
Harmonisation (ICH) Guideline E6 and in accordance with the general ethical principles outlined 
in the Declaration of Helsinki. The study will receive approval from an IRB/EC prior to 
commencement. The Investigator will conduct all aspects of this study in accordance with 
applicable national, state, and local laws of the pertinent regulatory authorities.
13.2.
Investigator Responsibilities
Investigator responsibilities are set out in the ICH Guideline for Good Clinical Practice and in 
the local regulations.  Celgene staff or an authorized representative will evaluate and approve all 
Investigators who in turn will select their staff.
The Investigator should ensure that all persons assisting with the study are adequately informed 
about the protocol, amendments, study treatments, as well as study-related duties and functions, 
including obligations of confidentiality of Celgene information. The Investigator should maintain 
a list of Sub-investigators and other appropriately qualified persons to whom he or she has 
delegated significant study-related duties.
The Investigator is responsible for keeping a record of all subjects who sign an informed consent 
form (ICF) and are screened for entry into the study.  Subjects who fail screening must have the
reason(s) recorded in the subject’s source documents.
The Investigator, or a designated member of the Investigator’s staff, must be available during 
monitoring visits to review data, resolve queries and allow direct access to subject records (eg, 
medical records, office charts, hospital charts, and study-related charts) for source data 
verification.  The Investigator must ensure timely and accurate completion of CRFs and queries.
The information contained in the protocol and amendments (with the exception of the 
information provided by Celgene on public registry websites) is considered Celgene confidential 
information.  Only information that is previously disclosed by Celgene on a public registry 
website may be freely disclosed by the Investigator or its institution, or as outlined in the Clinical 
Trial Agreement.  Celgene protocol, amendment and IB information is not to be made publicly 
available (for example on the Investigator’s or their institution’s website) without express written 
approval from Celgene.  Information proposed for posting on the Investigator’s or their 
institution’s website must be submitted to Celgene for review and approval, providing at least 5 
business days for review.
At the time results of this study are made available to the public, Celgene will provide 
Investigators with a summary of the results that is written for the lay person. The Investigator is 
responsible for sharing these results with the subject and/or their caregiver as agreed by the 
subject.

13.3.
Subject Information and Informed Consent
The Investigator must obtain informed consent of a subject and/or a subject’s legal representative 
prior to any study related procedures.
Documentation that informed consent occurred prior to the study subject’s entry into the study 
and of the informed consent process should be recorded in the study subject’s source documents 
including the date.  The original ICF signed and dated by the study subject and by the person 
consenting the study subject prior to the study subject’s entry into the study, must be maintained 
in the Investigator’s study files and a copy given to the study subject.  In addition, if a protocol is 
amended and it impacts on the content of the informed consent, the ICF must be revised.  Study 
subjects participating in the study when the amended protocol is implemented must be re-
consented with the revised version of the ICF.  The revised ICF signed and dated by the study 
subject and by the person consenting the study subject must be maintained in the Investigator’s 
study files and a copy given to the study subject.
13.4.
Confidentiality
Celgene affirms the subject's right to protection against invasion of privacy and to be in 
compliance with ICH and other local regulations (whichever is most stringent). Celgene requires 
the Investigator to permit Celgene's representatives and, when necessary, representatives from 
regulatory authorities, to review and/or copy any medical records relevant to the study in 
accordance with local laws.
Should direct access to medical records require a waiver or authorization separate from the 
subject’s signed ICF, it is the responsibility of the Investigator to obtain such permission in 
writing from the appropriate individual.
13.5.
Protocol Amendments
Any amendment to this protocol must be approved by the Celgene Clinical Research 
Physician/Medical Monitor.  Amendments will be submitted to the IRB/EC for written approval.  
Written approval must be obtained before implementation of the amended version occurs.  The 
written signed approval from the IRB/EC should specifically reference the Investigator name, 
protocol number, study title and amendment number(s) that is applicable. Amendments that are 
administrative in nature do not require IRB/IEC approval but will be submitted to the IRB/IEC

Institutional Review Board/Independent Ethics Committee Review 
and Approval
Before the start of the study, the study protocol, ICF, and any other appropriate documents will 
be submitted to the IRB/EC with a cover letter or a form listing the documents submitted, their 
dates of issue, and the site (or region or area of jurisdiction, as applicable) for which approval is 
sought. If applicable, the documents will also be submitted to the authorities in accordance with 
local legal requirements.
IP can only be supplied to an Investigator by Celgene or its authorized representative after 
documentation on all ethical and legal requirements for starting the study has been received by

Celgene or its authorized representative. This documentation must also include a list of the 
members of the IRB/EC and their occupation and qualifications. If the IRB/EC will not disclose 
the names, occupations and qualifications of the committee members, it should be asked to issue 
a statement confirming that the composition of the committee is in accordance with GCP. For 
example, the IRB General Assurance Number may be accepted as a substitute for this list. 
Formal approval by the IRB/EC should mention the protocol title, number, amendment number 
(if applicable), study site (or region or area of jurisdiction, as applicable), and any other 
documents reviewed. It must mention the date on which the decision was made and must be 
officially signed by a committee member. Before the first subject is enrolled in the study, all 
ethical and legal requirements must be met.
The IRB/EC and, if applicable, the authorities, must be informed of all subsequent protocol 
amendments in accordance with local legal requirements. Amendments must be evaluated to 
determine whether formal approval must be sought and whether the ICF should also be revised.
The Investigator must keep a record of all communication with the IRB/EC and, if applicable, 
between a Coordinating Investigator and the IRB/EC. This statement also applies to any 
communication between the Investigator (or Coordinating Investigator, if applicable) and 
regulatory authorities.
Any advertisements used to recruit subjects for the study must be reviewed by Celgene and the 
IRB/EC prior to use.  
13.7.
Ongoing Information for Institutional Review Board/ Ethics 
Committee
If required by legislation or the IRB/EC, the Investigator must submit to the IRB/EC:

Information on serious or unexpected AEs as soon as possible; 

Periodic reports on the progress of the study;

Deviations from the protocol or anything that may involve added risk to subjects.
13.8.
Termination of the Study
Celgene reserves the right to terminate this study prematurely at any time for reasonable medical 
or administrative reasons. Any premature discontinuation will be appropriately documented 
according to local requirements (eg, IRB/EC, regulatory authorities, etc).
In addition, the Investigator or Celgene has the right to discontinue a single site at any time 
during the study for medical or administrative reasons such as:

Unsatisfactory enrollment;

14.2.
Data Management
Data will be collected via CRF and entered into the clinical database per Celgene SOPs. This 
data will be electronically verified through use of programmed edit checks specified by the 
clinical team.  Discrepancies in the data will be brought to the attention of the clinical team, and 
investigational site personnel, if necessary.  Resolutions to these issues will be reflected in the 
database.  An audit trail within the system will track all changes made to the data.
14.3.
Record Retention
Essential documents must be retained by the Investigator according to the period of time outlined 
in the clinical trial agreement. The Investigator must retain these documents for the time period 
described above or according to local laws or requirements, whichever is longer. Essential 
documents include, but are not limited to, the following:

Signed ICFs for all subjects;

Subject identification code list, screening log (if applicable), and enrollment log;

Record of all communications between the Investigator and the IRB/EC;

Composition of the IRB/EC;

Record of all communications between the Investigator, Celgene, and their authorized 
representative(s);

List of Sub-investigators and other appropriately qualified persons to whom the 
Investigator has delegated significant study-related duties, together with their roles in 
the study, curriculum vitae, and their signatures;

Copies of CRFs (if paper) and of documentation of corrections for all subjects;

IP accountability records;

Record of any body fluids or tissue samples retained;

All other source documents (subject records, hospital records, laboratory records, 
etc.); 

All other documents as listed in Section 8 of the ICH consolidated guideline on GCP 
(Essential Documents for the Conduct of a Clinical Trial).

The Investigator must notify Celgene if he/she wishes to assign the essential documents to 
someone else, remove them to another location or is unable to retain them for a specified period.  
The Investigator must obtain approval in writing from Celgene prior to destruction of any 
records. If the Investigator is unable to meet this obligation, the Investigator must ask Celgene 
for permission to make alternative arrangements. Details of these arrangements should be 
documented. 
All study documents should be made available if required by relevant health authorities. 
Investigator or institution should take measures to prevent accidental or premature destruction of 
these documents.

QUALITY CONTROL AND QUALITY ASSURANCE
All aspects of the study will be carefully monitored by Celgene or its authorized representative 
for compliance with applicable government regulations with respect to current GCP and SOPs.
15.1.
Study Monitoring and Source Data Verification
Celgene ensures that appropriate monitoring procedures are performed before, during and after 
the study.  All aspects of the study are reviewed with the Investigator and the staff at a study 
initiation visit and/or at an Investigators’ Meeting.  Prior to enrolling subjects into the study, a 
Celgene representative will review the protocol, CRFs, procedures for obtaining informed 
consent, record keeping, and reporting of AEs/SAEs with the Investigator.  Monitoring will 
include on-site visits with the Investigator and his/her staff as well as any appropriate 
communications by mail, email, fax, or telephone.  During monitoring visits, the facilities, 
investigational product storage area, CRFs, subject’s source documents, and all other study 
documentation will be inspected/reviewed by the Celgene representative in accordance with the 
Study Monitoring Plan.
Accuracy will be checked by performing source data verification that is a direct comparison of 
the entries made onto the CRFs against the appropriate source documentation.  Any resulting 
discrepancies will be reviewed with the Investigator and/or his/her staff.  Any necessary 
corrections will be made directly to the CRFs or via queries by the Investigator and/or his/her 
staff. Monitoring procedures require that informed consents, adherence to inclusion/exclusion 
criteria and documentation of SAEs and their proper recording be verified.  Additional 
monitoring activities may be outlined in a study-specific monitoring plan.
15.2.
Audits and Inspections
In addition to the routine monitoring procedures, a Good Clinical Practice Quality Assurance 
unit exists within Celgene.  Representatives of this unit will conduct audits of clinical research 
activities in accordance with Celgene SOPs to evaluate compliance with Good Clinical Practice 
guidelines and regulations.
The Investigator is required to permit direct access to the facilities where the study took place, 
source documents, CRFs and applicable supporting records of study subject participation for 
audits and inspections by IRB/ECs, regulatory authorities (eg, FDA, EMA, Health Canada) and 
company authorized representatives.  The Investigator should make every effort to be available 
for the audits and/or inspections.  If the Investigator is contacted by any regulatory authority 
regarding an inspection, he/she should contact Celgene immediately.
15.3.
Product Quality Complaint
A Product Quality Complaint (PQC) is any written, electronic, or oral communication that 
alleges deficiencies related to the identity, quality, durability, reliability, safety, effectiveness,
purity, or performance of any drug product manufactured by or on behalf of Celgene Corporation 
after it is released for distribution.  PQCs may reduce the usability of the product for its intended 
function or affect performance of the product and therefore pose a significant risk to the subject.  
Examples of PQCs include (but are not limited to): mixed product, mislabeling, lack of effect, 
seal/packaging breach, product missing/short/overage, contamination, suspected falsified,

literature in a peer-reviewed journal, irrespective of the results.  At a minimum, this applies to 
results from all Phase 3 clinical studies, and any other study results of significant medical 
importance.  This also includes results relating to investigational medicines whose development 
programs have been discontinued.
Study results may also be presented at one or more medical congresses and may be used for 
scientific exchange and teaching purposes.  Additionally, this study and its results may be 
submitted for inclusion in all appropriate health authority study registries, as well as publication 
on health authority study registry websites, as required by local health authority regulations.
Eligibility for external authorship, as well as selection of first authorship, will be based on 
several considerations, including, but not limited to, contribution to protocol development, study 
recruitment, data quality, participation in data analysis, participation in study steering committee 
(when applicable) and contribution to abstract, presentation and/or publication development.

The target thumb or finger nail which represents the worst nail psoriasis is graded for 
nail matrix psoriasis and nail bed psoriasis.  The sum of these two scores is the total score 
for that nail.
Evaluation 1: Nail matrix. In each quadrant of the nail, nail 
matrix psoriasis is evaluated by presence of any of the nail 
matrix features (pitting, leukonychia red spots in the lunula, 
crumbling):
Score for nail matrix psoriasis  _____________
0 = none
1 = present in 1/4 nail
2 = present in 2/4 nail
3 = present in 3/4 nail
4 = present in 4/4 nail
Evaluation 2: Nail bed. Nail bed psoriasis is evaluated by the 
presence of any of the nail bed features (onycholysis, splinter 
hemorrhages, subungual hyperkeratosis, “oil drop” (salmon 
patch dyschroma): 
Score for nail bed psoriasis  _____________
0 = none

Disclaimer:
This scale is intended for use by trained clinicians. The questions contained in the Columbia-
Suicide Severity Rating Scale are suggested probes. Ultimately, the determination of the 
presence of suicidality depends on clinical judgment.
Definitions of behavioral suicidal events in this scale are based on those used in The Columbia 
Suicide History Form, developed by John Mann, MD and Maria Oquendo, MD, Conte Center 
for the Neuroscience of Mental Disorders (CCNMD), New York State Psychiatric Institute, 1051

SUICIDAL BEHAVIOR
(Check all that apply, so long as these are separate events; must ask about all types) 
Lifetime 
Actual Attempt:
A potentially self-injurious act committed with at least some wish to die, as a result of act. Behavior was in part thought of 
as method to kill oneself. Intent does not have to be 100%. If there is any intent/desire to die associated with the act, then it 
can be considered an actual suicide attempt. There does not have to be any injury or harm, just the potential for injury or 
harm. If person pulls trigger while gun is in mouth but gun is broken so no injury results, this is considered an attempt.
Inferring Intent: Even if an individual denies intent/wish to die, it may be inferred clinically from the behavior or 
circumstances. For example, a highly lethal act that is clearly not an accident so no other intent but suicide can be inferred 
(e.g. gunshot to head, jumping from window of a high floor/story). Also, if someone denies intent to die, but they thought 
that what they did could be lethal, intent may be inferred.
Have you made a suicide attempt?
Have you done anything to harm yourself?
Have you done anything dangerous where you could have died?
What did you do?
Did you______ as a way to end your life?
Did you want to die (even a little) when you_____?
Were you trying to end your life when you _____?
Or did you think it was possible you could have died from_____?
Or did you do it purely for other reasons / without ANY intention of killing yourself (like to relieve stress, 
feel better, get sympathy, or get something else to happen)? (Self-Injurious Behavior without suicidal intent)
If yes, describe:
Has subject engaged in Non-Suicidal Self-Injurious Behavior? 
Yes No
□ □
Total # of
Attempts
______
Yes No
□ □ 
Interrupted Attempt:
When the person is interrupted (by an outside circumstance) from starting the potentially self-injurious act (if not for that, 
actual attempt would have occurred).
Overdose: Person has pills in hand but is stopped from ingesting. Once they ingest any pills, this becomes an attempt rather 
than an interrupted attempt. Shooting: Person has gun pointed toward self, gun is taken away by someone else, or is 
somehow prevented from pulling trigger. Once they pull the trigger, even if the gun fails to fire, it is an attempt. Jumping: 
Person is poised to jump, is grabbed and taken down from ledge. Hanging: Person has noose around neck but has not yet 
started to hang - is stopped from doing so.
Has there been a time when you started to do something to end your life but someone or something stopped 
you before you actually did anything?
If yes, describe: 
Yes No

Aborted Attempt:
When person begins to take steps toward making a suicide attempt, but stops themselves before they actually have engaged 
in any self-destructive behavior. Examples are similar to interrupted attempts, except that the individual stops him/herself, 
instead of being stopped by something else.

Preparatory Acts or Behavior:
Acts or preparation towards imminently making a suicide attempt. This can include anything beyond a verbalization or 
thought, such as assembling a specific method (e.g. buying pills, purchasing a gun) or preparing for one’s death by suicide 
(e.g. giving things away, writing a suicide note).

required (e.g. comatose with reflexes intact; third-degree burns less than 20% of body; 
extensive blood loss but can recover; major fractures).
4. Severe physical damage; medical hospitalization with intensive care required (e.g. comatose 
without reflexes; third-degree burns over 20% of body; extensive blood loss with unstable vital 
signs; major damage to a vital area).

Potential Lethality: Only Answer if Actual Lethality=0
Likely lethality of actual attempt if no medical damage (the following examples, while having 
no actual medical damage, had potential for very serious lethality: put gun in mouth and pulled 
the trigger but gun fails to fire so no medical damage; laying on train tracks with oncoming 
train but pulled away before run over).
0 = Behavior not likely to result in injury
1 = Behavior likely to result in injury but not likely to cause death
