SUMMARY
This is a Phase 2b, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, 
dose-ranging study to investigate the safety, efficacy, pharmacokinetics (PK), and 
pharmacodynamics (PD) of bimekizumab (also known as UCB4940) compared with placebo in 
adult subjects with moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis in order to guide the selection of 
doses and clinical indices in the Phase 3 development program.
The study population consists of adult subjects (≥18 years of age) with a diagnosis of moderate 
to severe chronic plaque psoriasis (Baseline Psoriasis Area and Severity Index [PASI] ≥12 and 
body surface area [BSA] affected by psoriasis ≥10% and Investigator’s Global Assessment 
[IGA] score ≥3 [on a 5-point scale]) who are a candidate for systemic psoriasis therapy and/or 
phototherapy and/or chemophototherapy.
Approximately 320 subjects will be screened in order to have 240 subjects randomized in the 
study. There will be approximately 40 subjects per treatment arm. For each subject, the study 
will last a maximum of 32 weeks and will consist of 3 periods, a Screening Period (2 to 
4 weeks), a Treatment Period (12 weeks), and a Safety Follow-Up (SFU) Period (20 weeks after 
the last dose of study medication). After the 12-week Treatment Period, eligible subjects will be 
allowed to enroll in an extension study. 
During the Treatment Period eligible subjects will be randomized 1:1:1:1:1:1 to receive the 
following blinded study treatment regimens:
!
Bimekizumab 64mg administered subcutaneously (sc) every 4 weeks (Q4W)
!
Bimekizumab 160mg administered sc Q4W
!
Bimekizumab 320mg loading dose administered sc at Baseline followed by 160mg dose 
administered sc Q4W.
!
Bimekizumab 320mg administered sc Q4W
!
Bimekizumab 480mg administered sc Q4W
!
Placebo administered sc Q4W
Approximately 40 subjects will be randomized to each treatment arm and study medication will 
be administered in the clinic at Baseline, Week 4, and Week 8. Additional nondosing study visits 
will occur at Week 1, Week 2, and Week 6. At Week 12, all subjects enrolling in the extension 
study will undergo the Week 12 study assessments before receiving their first extension study
dose of study treatment. All subjects not enrolling in the extension study will have the Week 12 
study assessments and will enter the SFU Period.
Subjects withdrawing early from the study will undergo the Early Withdrawal Visit assessments 
and will enter the SFU Period. Subjects who withdraw early from study treatment will be asked 
to return for study assessments 12 weeks after the first dose (ie, the Week 12 Visit) and for the 
SFU Visit.
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the dose response of bimekizumab administered 
sc every 4 weeks for 12 weeks in the treatment of subjects with moderate to severe chronic 
plaque psoriasis.

The secondary objectives of the study are to assess the efficacy of individual dose regimens of 
bimekizumab compared to placebo, the PK, safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of 
bimekizumab, and to assess the exposure response relationship of bimekizumab as it relates to 
efficacy and safety.
The other objectives of the study are to demonstrate the effects of bimekizumab on improvement 
of general health-related quality of life (QOL), skin-related QOL, and psoriatic disease in nails 
and scalp (in subjects with nail and scalp disease at Baseline). Analyses of genomic, genetic, and 
proteomic biomarkers may also be performed.
The primary efficacy variable is the PASI90 response defined as a subject that achieves 90% 
reduction in the PASI score at Week 12. The secondary efficacy variables are IGA response at 
Week 12 and Week 8, PASI90 response at Week 8, PASI75 response at Week 12, and PASI100 
response at Week 12. The other efficacy variables are listed in Section 4.1.3. 
Pharmacokinetic and PD variables are listed in Section 4.2.1 and Section 4.2.2, respectively,
immunological variables are listed in Section 4.3, and pharmacogenomics variables are listed in
Section 4.2.3.
Pharmacokinetic, PD, genomic, genetic, proteomic, and immunological variables will be 
evaluated to assess their relationship to treatment response.
Safety variables to be assessed are adverse events (AEs), vital signs, electrocardiograms (ECGs), 
physical examination, and measurements of laboratory parameters.

INTRODUCTION
2.1
Psoriasis 
Psoriasis is a common, chronic inflammatory disease characterized by a series of linked cellular 
changes in the skin: hyperplasia of epidermal keratinocytes, vascular hyperplasia and ectasia, and 
infiltration of T lymphocytes, neutrophils, and other types of leukocytes in affected skin. Though 
the pathophysiology of psoriasis is not fully understood, the importance of T-cells and 
inflammatory cytokines has been demonstrated by the clinical benefit provided by therapies 
directed at these targets (Kreuger and Ellis, 2005). 
There are a variety of forms including plaque, guttate, inverse, pustular, and erythrodermic. 
Plaque psoriasis is the most common, comprising approximately 80% to 90% of all cases. 
Approximately 17% of those with psoriasis have moderate to severe disease (Kurd et al, 2008).
In addition to the impact on skin, psoriasis has a multitude of psychosocial and emotional effects 
on patients, including increased self-consciousness, frustration, fatigue, depression, and suicidal 
ideation. As a result, patients frequently report sleeping problems, difficulties at work, problems 
interacting with family members, disrupted leisure activities, and sexual difficulties 
(Dowlatshahi et al, 2014; Gottlieb, 2005; Mukhtar et al, 2004; Ortonne, 2004; Krueger et al, 
2001). 
A number of comorbidities have been associated with psoriasis, especially with more severe 
psoriasis. Psoriatic arthritis, cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, chronic pulmonary 
disease, peptic ulcer disease, renal disease, and diabetes have all been demonstrated to have an 
increased prevalence in psoriasis patients (Yeung et al, 2013; Christophers et al, 2010; Gisondi et 
al, 2007; Gelfand et al, 2006).

2.1.1
Global epidemiology of psoriasis
Psoriasis affects approximately 3% of the adult US population (Rachakonda et al, 2014; Kurd 
and Gelfand, 2009) and its onset can begin at any age (Augustin et al, 2010; Icen et al, 2009). 
The reported worldwide incidence and prevalence of psoriasis varies greatly depending on age, 
gender, ethnicity, and geography primarily due to genetic and environmental factors. Estimates 
of incidence and prevalence include all types of psoriasis. Plaques psoriasis is the most common 
form of psoriasis therefore reported estimates of the magnitude of this condition are likely 
weighted heavily by this subtype. Both the incidence and prevalence of psoriasis are higher 
among Caucasians and those living in higher latitudes. Psoriasis affects approximately 2% to 4% 
of the population of western countries. Geographical differences are also influenced by case 
definition, study design, and the definition of prevalence (Parisi et al, 2013; Langley et al, 2005; 
Raychaudhuri and Gross, 2000).
2.1.2
Current treatments for psoriasis
Therapy for patients with psoriasis varies according to the severity of disease. Limited or mild 
disease is often treated with topical therapies such as corticosteroids and vitamin D analogs. 
Patients with more severe disease are often treated with chemophototherapy, methotrexate, the 
oral phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) inhibitor (apremilast), or biologic agents, such as tumor 
necrosis factor (TNF) antagonists, interleukin (IL) 12/23 inhibitors, and IL-17A inhibitors. The 
effectiveness of TNF inhibitors in the treatment of psoriasis has been demonstrated in many 
Phase 3 clinical studies and has led to the approval of multiple TNF inhibitors for use in patients 
with moderate to severe psoriasis. Interleukin inhibitors include secukinumab and ixekizumab, 
IL-17A inhibitors approved for treatment of moderate to severe psoriasis. Ustekinumab is an IL-
12/23 antagonist approved for use in patients with moderate to severe psoriasis, and brodalumab, 
an IL-17 receptor antagonist, has completed pivotal Phase 3 studies in psoriasis. Standard 
therapies for psoriasis are listed below:
!
Topical steroids (eg, triamcinolone, mometasone, clobetasol, betamethasone, hydrocortisone) 
are generally used as first-line treatment of psoriasis. High-strength steroids are typically 
reserved for use on the arms and legs. Areas such as the face and skin folds (axillary, 
inguinal regions, etc) are usually treated with a low potency steroid. Chronic use of topical 
steroids can lead to corticosteroid-related side effects and is generally discouraged.
!
Vitamin D analogs (eg, calcipotriol and tacalcitol) are commonly used to treat mild to 
moderate psoriasis, and work best within the mild patients. They are safe but lack efficacy 
for many moderate to severe patients.
!
Chemophototherapy is a frequent option for moderate to severe patients, but the 
inconvenience of multiple treatment visits and varying efficacy limits its use in the market. 
!
Methotrexate is a systemic immunosuppressant and is used in moderate to severe patients. 
Toxicity concerns, particularly in older patients, are a major drawback.
!
Apremilast is an oral small-molecule inhibitor of PDE4 that is also approved for treatment of 
adults with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. PDE4 inhibitors work intracellularly to 
modulate a network of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory mediators. PDE4 is a cyclic 
adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)-specific PDE and the dominant PDE in inflammatory 
cells. PDE4 inhibition elevates intracellular cAMP levels, which in turn down-regulates the

inflammatory response by modulating the expression of TNFα, IL-23, IL-17, and other 
inflammatory cytokines.
!
Biologics, including TNFα inhibitors (adalimumab, etanercept, and infliximab), 
IL-12/23 inhibitors (ustekinumab), and IL-17A inhibitors are the treatment options of choice 
for patients with moderate to severe plaques psoriasis who are candidates for systemic 
therapy or phototherapy. These products are injected sc or delivered via intravenous (iv) 
infusion and while effective, TNFα inhibitors come with boxed warnings including the risk 
of serious infections and reports of lymphoma and malignancy in children and adolescent 
patients. The efficacy of TNFα inhibitors in treating psoriasis has been attributed to their 
inhibition of Th17-T cells. Different from the traditional systemic drugs that impact the entire 
immune system, biologics target specific parts of the immune system and offer reduced 
multi-organ toxicity and adverse effects associated with traditional treatments.
Secukinumab has been approved in the US and the EU for the treatment of moderate to 
severe plaque psoriasis in adult patients who are candidates for systemic therapy or 
phototherapy. Secukinumab is a monoclonal antibody (mAb) that inhibits the activity of the 
IL-17A isoform and is the first approved drug in its class. Clinical study results have shown 
that secukinumab achieves higher efficacy response levels than other drugs historically, 
demonstrating that IL-17 is a very effective target for the development of drugs for the 
treatment of psoriasis. 
2.2
Bimekizumab
Bimekizumab is an engineered, humanized, full-length immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1) mAb, with 
high affinity for human IL-17A and IL-17F, important proinflammatory cytokines of the IL-17 
family believed to play important roles in autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. Interleukin-
17A has been shown to have a role in pathogenesis of several autoimmune disorders and IL-17F 
has been increasingly recognized to contribute to the pathogenesis of a number of inflammatory 
diseases, including psoriasis, ulcerative colitis, asthma, ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis, 
and rheumatoid arthritis. While anti-IL-17A antibodies have demonstrated efficacy in patients 
with psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis, as yet, no therapeutic approach is 
available that fully inhibits the activity of IL-17F. Bimekizumab selectively and potently inhibits 
the activity of both IL-17A and IL-17F isoforms in vitro. Therefore, it permits an evaluation of 
the potential for additional efficacy, that may be conferred by dual inhibition of both cytokines, 
in patients suffering from diseases in which both cytokines are active.
2.2.1
Clinical
Three clinical studies of bimekizumab have been completed: UP0008 in 39 subjects with mild to 
moderate plaque psoriasis, RA0124 in 30 healthy volunteers, and PA0007 in 53 subjects with 
psoriatic arthritis. Two studies (RA0123 and UP0031) are ongoing in subjects with moderate to 
severe rheumatoid arthritis and in healthy subjects, respectively.
UP0008 was a Phase 1, single ascending dose study in adults with mild to moderate psoriasis 
affecting ≤5% BSA. In this blinded study, single doses of up to 640mg (approximately 8mg/kg 
in an 80kg adult) were evaluated without any safety concerns. A total of 26 subjects with 
psoriasis with less than 5% of body surface involvement were treated with a range of single iv 
doses from 8 to 640mg. There were no clinically relevant safety findings identified at any dose

and all doses were well tolerated. The pre-specified exploratory assessment of disease activity 
showed clinically relevant and statistically significant improvements at the higher doses studied.
RA0124 was a Phase 1, open-label, parallel-group, single-dose study in healthy subjects. The 
primary objective of this study was to determine the absolute bioavailability of single sc doses of 
bimekizumab (80mg and 160mg). The secondary objectives were to evaluate the dose 
proportionality of bimekizumab 80mg and 160mg sc, and to evaluate the safety and tolerability 
of these sc doses and 160mg given by iv infusion. In RA0124, the absolute bioavailability was 
similar for the 2 doses tested (0.656 and 0.631 for the bimekizumab 80mg and 160mg sc doses, 
respectively). The PK of bimekizumab was linear in the tested dose range and the median t1/2
following sc administration was similar to that following iv administration (27.81 days and 28.25 
days for bimekizumab 160mg sc and 160mg iv, respectively). 
Bimekizumab has also been investigated in a Phase 1b, proof of concept, randomized,
placebo-controlled, multiple dose study (PA0007). The primary objective of PA0007 was to 
assess the safety and PK of multiple dose administration of iv bimekizumab in subjects with 
psoriatic arthritis. Four active doses and a placebo were tested. Drug was administered as a 
loading dose at Week 0, and 2 additional doses were administered at Week 3 and Week 6. In 
each treatment group, subjects received a total of 3 doses of bimekizumab, administered every 3 
weeks as shown below:
!
80mg loading dose followed by 40mg at Weeks 3 and 6
!
160mg loading dose followed by 80mg at Weeks 3 and 6
!
240mg loading dose followed by 160 mg at Weeks 3 and 6
!
560mg loading dose followed by 320mg at Weeks 3 and 6
The results of this study demonstrated that all doses of bimekizumab were well tolerated and 
there were no unexpected clinically relevant safety findings.
Infections (mostly nasopharyngitis) were the most commonly reported events in both the active 
treatment and the placebo group. None of the infections were considered serious or required 
treatment with antibiotics. Two subjects in the active treatment group experienced 1 local 
candida infection each (oropharhyngitis and vulvovaginitis, respectively) that were non-serious 
and resolved with topical therapy. There was a potential reduction in mean neutrophil count in 
the active treatment group, although this drop was not clinically relevant and a clear relationship 
with dose or time was not evident. Some increases in liver function tests were reported, but none 
had a convincing relationship to exposure to study medication. The exploratory analysis showed 
clinically relevant improvement in activity of psoriatic arthritis and in skin involvement in those 
subjects with concomitant active psoriatic lesions.
Two additional studies of bimekizumab are ongoing. RA0123 is a Phase 2a, double-blind, 
randomized, placebo-controlled, multiple dose study to evaluate the safety, PK, PD, and efficacy 
of multiple doses of bimekizumab administered as add-on therapy to stable certolizumab pegol 
therapy in subjects with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis. UP0031 is a Phase 1 open-label, 
parallel-group, single-dose study to evaluate the relative bioavailability and tolerability of 
bimekizumab 160mg sc in healthy subjects.

2.2.2
Nonclinical
Parallel inhibition of IL-17A and IL-17F has been shown to be efficacious in a variety of animal 
models of inflammatory disease. Intravenously administered bimekizumab was well tolerated in 
repeat dose toxicology studies in Cynomolgus monkeys with a no adverse effect level (NOAEL) 
of 200mg/kg/week. The findings of note in toxicity studies were diarrhea related to infectious 
enteritis (observed in the single dose study) and asymptomatic mild colonic ulceration in a 
proportion of animals (in the repeat dose study); this latter finding was not associated with 
hematology abnormalities. Data suggest that bimekizumab has induced primary lesions to the 
mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue via a pharmacologically-related mechanism. In a second 
repeat-dose study, none of the minor apoptosis/necrosis findings observed in gut associated 
lymph nodes were revealed. In animals given the highest dose of bimekizumab in the study 
(20mg/kg/week), a slightly higher number of protozoa (Balantidium coli) was observed in the 
cecum and colon as compared to the control animals and low dose animals. Therefore gut 
associated lymph node lesions observed in the first study are considered to be accidental and/or 
linked to exaggerated pharmacology and proliferation of Balantidium coli and is considered the 
consequence of a change in local mucosal immunity. To date, similar findings have not been 
seen in studies in humans.
Additional information on the nonclinical data for bimekizumab is available in the current 
version of the IB.

STUDY DESIGN
5.1
Study description
This is a Phase 2b, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, 
dose-ranging study to evaluate the safety, efficacy, PK, and PD of bimekizumab administered sc 
to subjects with psoriasis. To be eligible to participate in this study, subjects must be adults with 
a diagnosis of moderate to severe psoriasis (Baseline PASI ≥12 and BSA affected by psoriasis 
≥10% and IGA score ≥3 [on a 5-point scale]) who are a candidate for systemic psoriasis therapy 
and/or phototherapy and/or chemophototherapy.
5.1.1
Study Periods
This study will include 3 periods, a Screening Period (2 to 4 weeks), a Treatment Period 
(12 weeks), and a SFU Period (20 weeks after the last dose of study medication). After the 
12-week Treatment Period, eligible subjects will be allowed to enroll in an extension study
(PS0011). 
Screening Period
The Screening Period will last 2 weeks, but can be extended up to a total of 4 weeks in the event 
that applicable laboratory screening tests require retesting if the initial results are in error, 
borderline, or indeterminate. During this time, laboratory data (hematology, urine, and 
biochemistry tests) will be obtained, the doses of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug 
(NSAIDs) (if used to treat psoriatic arthritis), will be verified as stable.

Treatment Period
During the Treatment Period subjects will be randomized 1:1:1:1:1:1 to receive the following 
blinded study treatment regimens:
!
Bimekizumab 64mg administered sc Q4W
!
Bimekizumab 160mg administered sc Q4W
!
Bimekizumab 320mg loading dose administered sc at Baseline followed by 160mg dose 
administered sc Q4W
!

!
Bimekizumab 480mg administered sc Q4W
!
Placebo administered sc Q4W
Approximately 320 subjects will be screened in order to have 240 subjects randomized in the 
study. There will be approximately 40 subjects per treatment arm and study medication will be 
administered in the clinic at Baseline, Week 4, and Week 8. Additional nondosing study visits 
will occur at Week 1, Week 2, and Week 6.
At Week 12, all subjects enrolling in the extension study (PS0011) will undergo the Week 12 
study assessments and then receive their first extension study dose of study treatment. All 
subjects not enrolling in the extension study will have the Week 12 study assessments and will 
enter the SFU Period.
Subjects who withdraw early from study treatment will be asked to return for study assessments 
12 weeks after the first dose (ie, the Week 12 Visit) and for the SFU Visit. 
Subjects withdrawing early from the study will undergo the early Withdrawal Visit assessments 
and will enter the SFU Period.
The assessments at each Treatment Period Visit are presented in Table 5‒1.
Safety Follow-Up Period
All subjects not continuing in the extension study, including those withdrawn from study
treatment, will have a SFU Visit 20 weeks after their last dose of study medication.
The assessments for the SFU Visit are presented in Table 5‒1.
5.1.2
Study duration per subject
For each subject, the study will last a maximum of up to 32 weeks. This includes the following 
study period durations:
!
Screening Period: 2 to 4 weeks 
!
Double-blind, placebo-controlled Treatment Period: 12 weeks
!
Safety Follow-Up Period: a SFU Visit is planned 20 weeks after the last dose of study 
medication
After the 12-week Treatment Period, subjects will be allowed to enroll in an extension study. 
The SFU Visit will not be conducted in PS0010 for subjects who enroll in the extension study.

These doses were chosen based on the efficacy and safety data from the 3 completed clinical 
studies of bimekizumab (UP0008, RA0124, and PA0007). These doses support the maximum 
likelihood of confirmation of efficacy for bimekizumab in subjects with moderate to severe
chronic plaque psoriasis while presenting a high likelihood of an acceptable safety profile. 
The study duration of 12 weeks is considered appropriate to show the separation between the 
doses studied to assess dose-response relationship. Twelve weeks is an appropriate duration to 
determine the induction of efficacy in patients with plaque psoriasis who are starting a biologic 
therapy.
The study is double-blind in order to avoid subjective bias in the reporting and assessment of the 
efficacy, safety, and tolerability effects of bimekizumab. Placebo will be administered as a 
control in order to provide a comparison of inactive treatment to bimekizumab and to establish 
the frequency and/or magnitude of changes in clinical endpoints that may occur in the absence of 
active treatment.

5. PASI ≥12 and BSA ≥10% and IGA score ≥3 on a 5-point scale.
6. Candidates for systemic psoriasis therapy and/or phototherapy and/or chemophototherapy.
7. Female subjects must be postmenopausal (at least 1 year; to be confirmed hormonally as part 
of the Screening process, if less than 2 years since last menstrual period), permanently
sterilized (eg, tubal occlusion, hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy) or, if of childbearing 
potential, must be willing to use a highly effective method of contraception up till 20 weeks 
after last administration of study drug, and have a negative pregnancy test at Visit 1

18. Subjects with a current or recent history, as determined by the Investigator, of severe, 
progressive, and/or uncontrolled renal, hepatic, hematological, endocrine, pulmonary, cardiac 
(eg, congestive heart failure, New York Heart Association [NYHA] Grade 3 and 4), 
gastrointestinal (GI) (note: subjects with active peptic ulcer disease are excluded; subjects 
with a history of peptic ulcer disease are allowed), or neurological disease.
19. Subject has a history of uncompensated heart failure, fluid overload, or myocardial 
infarction, or evidence of new onset ischemic heart disease or in the opinion of the 
Investigator other serious cardiac disease, within 12 weeks prior to Baseline.
20a. Subject has >2x upper limit of normal (ULN) of any of the following: alanine 
aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), or 
>ULN total bilirubin (≥1.5xULN total bilirubin if known Gilbert’s syndrome). If subject has 
elevations only in total bilirubin that are >ULN and <1.5xULN, fractionate bilirubin to 
identify possible undiagnosed Gilbert’s syndrome (ie, direct bilirubin <35%).
Tests that result in ALT, AST, or ALP up to 25% above the exclusion limit may be repeated 
once for confirmation during the Screening Period. Upon retesting, subjects whose ALT, 
AST, or ALP remain above the thresholds defined above, should not be randomized. 
For randomized subjects with a baseline result >ULN for ALT, AST, ALP, or total bilirubin, 
a baseline diagnosis and/or the cause of any clinically meaningful elevation must be 
understood and recorded in the Case Report form (CRF).
If subject has >ULN ALT, AST, or ALP that does not meet the exclusion limit at screening, 
repeat the tests, if possible, prior to dosing to ensure there is no further ongoing clinically 
relevant increase. In case of a clinically relevant increase, inclusion of the subject must be 
discussed with the Medical Monitor.
21. Subjects with clinically significant laboratory abnormalities (eg, creatinine >1.5xULN, 
neutropenia <1.5x109/L, hemoglobin <8.5g/dL, lymphocytes <1.0 x109/L, platelets <100 
x109/L). Individual screening tests for which the results are in error, borderline, or 
indeterminate for inclusion in the study, can be repeated once for confirmation during the 
screening period if they are within 25% of the exclusion limit. Upon retesting, subjects 
whose results remain outside this threshold should not be randomized.
22. Subjects with any other condition which, in the Investigator's judgement, would make the 
subject unsuitable for inclusion in the study.
23. Subjects have been exposed to more than 1 biological response modifier (limited to anti-TNF 
or IL-12/-23) for psoriatic arthritis or psoriasis prior to the Baseline Visit. The list of 
prohibited medications is presented in Section 7.8.2.
24. Subjects have received previous treatment with any anti-IL-17 therapy for the treatment of 
psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis.
25. Subjects with a diagnosis of inflammatory conditions other than psoriasis or psoriatic 
arthritis, including but not limited to rheumatoid arthritis, sarcoidosis, or systemic lupus 
erythematosus. Subjects with a diagnosis of Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis are allowed 
as long as they have no active symptomatic disease at Screening or Baseline.

next scheduled study treatment. If the value on the repeat is still Grade 2 or above, a 
second repeat test must be performed and results made available prior to the next 
scheduled study treatment. If this second repeat value is still Grade 2 or above, the 
subject must be withdrawn. 
Investigators should attempt to obtain information on subjects in the case of withdrawal or 
discontinuation. For subjects considered as lost to follow-up, the Investigator should make an 
effort (at least 1 phone call and 1 written message to the subject), and document his/her effort 
(date and summary of the phone call and copy of the written message in the source documents), 
to complete the final evaluation. All results of these evaluations and observations, together with a 
narrative description of the reason(s) for removing the subject, must be recorded in the source 
documents. The Case Report Form (CRF) must document the primary reason for withdrawal or 
discontinuation.
Investigators should contact the Medical Monitor, whenever possible, to discuss the withdrawal 
of a subject in advance.
6.3.1
Potential drug-induced liver injury IMP discontinuation criteria
Subjects with potential drug-induced liver injury (PDILI) must be assessed to determine if IMP 
must be discontinued. In addition, all concomitant medications and herbal supplements that are 
not medically necessary should also be discontinued.
The PDILI criteria below require immediate and permanent discontinuation of IMP: 
!
Subjects with either of the following:
∀
ALT or AST ≥5xULN
∀
ALT or AST ≥3xULN and coexisting total bilirubin ≥2xULN
!
Subjects with ALT or AST ≥3xULN who exhibit temporally associated symptoms of 
hepatitis or hypersensitivity. Hepatitis symptoms include fatigue, nausea, vomiting, right 
upper quadrant pain or tenderness. Hypersensitivity symptoms include fever (without clear 
alternative cause), rash, or eosinophilia (ie, >5%). 
The PDILI criterion below allows for subjects to continue on IMP at the discretion of the 
Investigator. 
!
Subjects with ALT or AST ≥3xULN (and ≥2x baseline) and <5xULN, total bilirubin 
<2xULN, and no eosinophilia (ie, ≤5%), with no fever, rash, or symptoms of hepatitis (eg, 
fatigue, nausea, vomiting, right upper quadrant pain or tenderness).
Evaluation of PDILI must be initiated as described in Section 12.5.1. If subjects are unable to 
comply with the applicable monitoring schedule, IMP must be discontinued immediately.
Investigators should attempt to obtain information on subjects in the case of IMP discontinuation 
to complete the final evaluation. Subjects with PDILI should not be withdrawn from the study 
until investigation and monitoring are complete. All results of these evaluations and 
observations, as well as the reason(s) for IMP discontinuation and subject withdrawal (if 
applicable), must be recorded in the source documents. The CRF must document the primary 
reason for IMP discontinuation.

The Investigator (or designee) is responsible for the safe and proper storage of IMP at the site. 
Investigational medicinal product stored by the Investigator is to be kept in a secured area with 
limited access.
Appropriate storage conditions must be ensured by controlled temperature and by completion of 
a temperature log in accordance with local requirements on a regular basis per study manuals, 
showing minimum and maximum temperatures reached over the time interval.
Study drug will be shipped to the study sites in temperature controlled containers. Out-of-range 
shipping or storage conditions must be brought to the attention of the Sponsor or designee, 
immediately. Authorization to use any out-of-range IMP must be documented and received prior 
to dispensing or administering the IMP at the study site. 
7.6
Drug accountability
A Drug Accountability form will be used to record IMP dispensing and return information on a 
by-subject basis and will serve as source documentation during the course of the study. Details of 
any IMP lost (due to breakage or wastage), not used, disposed of at the study site, or returned to 
the Sponsor or designee must also be recorded on the appropriate forms. All supplies and 
pharmacy documentation must be made available throughout the study for UCB (or designee) to 
review.
In order to maintain the blind, all study drug documentation (eg, shipping receipts, drug 
accountability logs, IXRS randomization materials) must be maintained and accessed by 
unblinded, trained site personnel only. Designated, unblinded site personnel must be 
appropriately trained and licensed (per country guidelines) to administer injections. 
Blinded study staff may be delegated the responsibility to receive, inventory, and destroy the 
used kits. The packaging identifies each kit by a unique number that does not correlate to the 
contents and therefore, does not unblind study site staff. Unblinded study staff will be 
responsible for preparation (breaking tamper proof sticker on kit, etc) of the clinical trial 
material, including recording the administration information on source document.
The Investigator (or designee) is responsible for retaining all used, unused, and partially used 
containers of IMP until returned or destroyed.
The Investigator may assign some of the Investigator’s duties for drug accountability at the study 
site to an appropriate pharmacist/designee.
The Investigator must ensure that the IMP is used only in accordance with the protocol.
Periodically, and/or after completion of the clinical phase of the study, all used (including empty 
containers) and unused IMP containers must be reconciled and returned to UCB (or designee), 
preferably in their original package. Onsite destruction of used kits only may be allowed with 
prior approval from the Sponsor or designee after reconciliation. Investigational medicinal 
product intended for the study cannot be used for any other purpose than that described in this 
protocol.
7.7
Procedures for monitoring subject compliance
During the treatment period of this study, study medication will be administered in the clinic and 
compliance will be determined at the visit by study personnel. Drug accountability must be 
recorded on the Drug Accountability Form.

Concomitant medication(s)/treatment(s)
All concomitant medications, including over the counter products, herbal, traditional remedies, 
vitamin/mineral supplements, other dietary supplements, “nutraceuticals,” and hormones must be 
recorded in the subject’s source documentation (eg, clinical chart) and on the electronic Case 
Report Form (eCRF). This record should include the name of the drug, the dose, the route and 
date(s) of administration, and the indication for use.
The Investigator should examine the acceptability of all concomitant procedures, medications, 
topical preparations and dietary supplements not explicitly prohibited in this study, and if 
necessary, discuss with the Medical Monitor. 
In order to ensure that appropriate concomitant therapy is administered, subjects will be 
instructed to consult with the Investigator prior to taking any medication (either 
self-administered non-prescription drugs or prescription therapy prescribed by another 
physician).
7.8.1
Permitted concomitant treatments (medications and therapies)
Topical medications
Subjects may continue to use topical moisturizers or emollients, bath oils, or oatmeal bath 
preparations for skin conditions during the study, as needed. Over-the-counter shampoos for the 
treatment of psoriasis of the scalp are also permitted. 
Subjects who use prohibited topical medications will be allowed to stay in the study but will be 
counseled to not use them further. No other topical preparations are allowed in the 2 weeks 
before randomization or during the study unless medically required to treat an AE.
Other medications
Subjects who are already receiving an established NSAID regimen (at least 8 weeks prior to 
Baseline) and have been on a stable dose for at least 4 weeks prior to Baseline may continue their 
use during the study. However, initiation of, or increase in dosage of, NSAIDs during the study 
(especially in subjects with a history of GI intolerance to NSAIDs or a history of GI ulceration) 
should be done with caution. Intra-articular steroid injections for arthritis of the knee are 
allowed.
Subjects who are already receiving an established anti-depressant regimen should be on a stable 
dose of anti-depressant for 12 weeks prior to Baseline.
7.8.2
Prohibited concomitant treatments (medications and therapies)
The list of prohibited concomitant medications is provided Table 7‒1.
Subjects who use prohibited medications, with the exception of topicals, will be withdrawn from 
study treatment but followed until the SFU. 
As noted above, subjects who use prohibited topical medications will be allowed to stay in the 
study but will be counseled to not take them further.

noted above, subjects that use prohibited topical medications will be allowed to stay in the study 
but will be counseled to not use them further.
Vaccines
Administration of live (including attenuated) vaccines is not allowed during the conduct of the 
study or for 20 weeks after the last dose of study drug (see Exclusion Criterion #0, Section 6.2). 
Administration of inactivated vaccines is allowed during the study at the discretion of the 
Investigator.

Blinding
Due to differences in presentation of the IMPs (bimekizumab and placebo), special precautions 
will be taken to ensure study blinding and study sites will have blinded and unblinded personnel.
Bimekizumab and placebo injections will be prepared and administered at the investigational 
sites by unblinded, dedicated study personnel. The unblinded personnel will not be involved in 
the study in any way other than assuring the medication is taken from the correct kit and 
administering the drug to the subjects.
Study sites will be required to have a written blinding plan in place, signed by the Principal 
Investigator, which will detail the site’s steps for ensuring that the double-blind nature of the 
study is maintained. 
During the study the Sponsor will provide blinded and unblinded site monitors for the purposes 
of verifying safety, efficacy and drug administration and documentation records. Blinded study 
monitors and study site personnel, blinded to treatment assignment, will not discuss or have 
access to any drug related information.
Further details are provided in the study manuals and site blinding plan.
7.9.1
Procedures for maintaining and breaking the treatment blind
7.9.1.1
Maintenance of study treatment blind
All subject treatment details (bimekizumab or placebo) will be allocated and maintained by the 
interactive voice or web response system (IXRS).
7.9.1.2
Breaking the treatment blind in an emergency situation
The integrity of this clinical study must be maintained by observing the treatment blind. In the 
event of an emergency for which the appropriate treatment for a subject cannot be made without 
knowing the treatment assignment, it will be possible to determine to which treatment arm and 
dose the subject has been allocated by contacting the IXRS. All sites will be provided with 
details of how to contact the system for code breaking at the start of the study. The Medical 
Monitor or equivalent should be consulted prior to unblinding, whenever possible.
The Clinical Project Manager (CPM) will be informed immediately via the IXRS when a code is 
broken, but will remain blinded to specific treatment information. Any unblinding of the IMP 
performed by the Investigator must be recorded in the source documents and on the Study 
Termination eCRF page.
7.10
Randomization and numbering of subjects
An IXRS will be used for assigning eligible subjects to a treatment regimen based on a 
predetermined production randomization and/or packaging schedule provided by the Sponsor. 
The randomization schedule will be produced by an independent biostatistician with the Contract 
Research Organization (CRO) who is otherwise not involved in this study. Subject treatment 
assignment will be stratified by region and prior biologic exposure (yes/no). The IXRS will 
generate individual assignments for subject kits of IMP, as appropriate, according to the visit 
schedule. Efforts should be made to limit the enrollment of subjects with prior biologic exposure 
to approximately 30% of the total study population.

At Screening, each subject will be assigned a 5 digit number that serves as the subject identifier 
throughout the study. The subject number will be required in all communication between the 
Investigator or designee and the IXRS regarding a particular subject. 
At the Baseline Visit, a subject will be randomized into the study. The Investigator or designee 
will use the IXRS for randomization. The IXRS will automatically inform the Investigator or 
designee of the subject’s ID number. The IXRS will allocate kit numbers to the subject based on 
the subject number during the course of the study.
Subject numbers and kit numbers will be tracked via the IXRS.

STUDY PROCEDURES BY VISIT 
Table 5‒1 (schedule of study assessments) provides a general overview of study assessments. A 
list of procedures to be completed at each visit is described below. 
!
Visit windows of +/-3 days on either side of the scheduled dosing are permitted; 
however, the Investigator should try to keep the subjects on the original dosing schedule. 
The window of +/-3 days is relative to Baseline and applicable for all subsequent visits. 
Changes to the dosing schedule outside of the 3-day window must be discussed with the 
Medical Monitor.
!
The minimum of time between doses should be no less than 24 days and no more than 
32 days.
!
For the Safety Follow-Up Visit (20 weeks after the last dose), the visit should occur no 
more than 3 days prior to the scheduled visit date and within 7 days after the scheduled 
visit date (-3 days/+7 days)
8.1
Screening Visit
Prior to any study specific activities, subjects will be asked to read, sign, and date an ICF that has
been approved by the Sponsor and an IEC/IRB, and that complies with regulatory requirements. 
Subjects will be given adequate time to consider any information concerning the study given to 
them by the Investigator or designee. As part of the informed consent procedure, subjects will be 
given the opportunity to ask the Investigator any questions regarding potential risks and benefits 
of participation in the study.
Where local regulations permit, subjects will also be given the option to participate in the 
genomics, genetics, and proteomics substudy. Subjects agreeing to participate in the substudy 
will be required to complete a separate Informed Consent Form. The Informed Consent Form 
must be signed prior to collecting any samples for the substudy. The substudy will only be 
conducted where ethically accepted and authorized by the regulatory agencies. Refusal to 
participate in the substudy will not affect a subject’s ability to participate in the main PS0010 
study. 
Subjects may also be asked about their willingness to participate in a study exit interview near 
the end of the study. Subjects may decide to participate in the genomic, genetic and proteomic 
substudy, or the interview, or neither.
The following procedures or assessments will be performed at the Screening Visit:

Early Withdrawal Visit
Subjects withdrawing early from the study (see Section 6.3) will undergo the same assessments 
as the Week 12 Visit (see Section 8.8) and will enter the SFU Period.
Subjects that withdrawal from study treatment early will be asked to return for the study 
assessments 12 weeks after the first dose (ie, the Week 12 Visit) and for the SFU Visit (20 weeks 
after the last received dose).
8.11
Unscheduled Visit
At the Investigator’s discretion, an Unscheduled Visit may be completed at any time during the 
study but prior to the SFU Visit, if deemed necessary for the subject’s safety and well-being. 
If an Unscheduled Visit is conducted due to safety or efficacy reasons, an eC-SSRS assessment 
will be performed with the subject during the visit. If an Unscheduled Visit is conducted for 
reasons other than safety or efficacy concerns (eg, replacement of lost medication, repeated 
collection of a laboratory specimen due to collection or analysis issues), an eC-SSRS will not be 
required at these visits.
At this visit, any of the following assessments may be performed, depending on the reason for 
the visit:
!
Vital signs 
!
eC-SSRS
!
Physical examination
!
Record 12-lead ECG 
!
If medically indicated, obtain blood sample(s) for:

ASSESSMENT OF EFFICACY
9.1
Psoriasis Area and Severity Index
The PASI is the most commonly used and validated assessment for grading the severity of
psoriasis in clinical studies (Feldman, 2004). The PASI quantifies the severity and extent of the 
disease and weighs these with the percentage of BSA involvement. 
The percent area of involvement (BSA%) is estimated across 4 body areas; head, upper limbs,
trunk, and lower limbs and then transferred into a grade (Table 9‒1).

The PASI will be completed at the visits specified in Table 5‒1.
9.2
BSA affected by psoriasis
The BSA palm method will be used for the evaluation of BSA as follows:
Body surface area estimation uses the palm (subject’s flat hand and thumb together, fingers 
included) as representing around 1% of the total BSA.

Subject’s palm=1%
!
Head and neck=10% (10 palms)
!
Upper extremities=20 % (20 palms)

Total BSA=100%
Evaluation of BSA will be completed at the visits specified in Table 5‒1.
9.3
Investigator’s Global Assessment
A static IGA for psoriasis will be used to assess disease severity in all subjects during the study. 
The IGA will be completed at the visits specified in Table 5‒1.

Dermatology Life Quality Index
The DLQI is a questionnaire designed for use in adult subjects with psoriasis. The DLQI is a skin 
disease-specific questionnaire aimed at the evaluation of how symptoms and treatment affect 
patients’ health related QOL. This instrument asks subjects about symptoms and feelings, daily 
activities, leisure, work and school, personal relationships and treatment. It has been shown to be 
valid and reproducible in psoriasis patients. The DLQI score ranges from 0 to 30 with higher 
scores indicating lower health related QOL. A 5-point change in the DLQI score (DLQI 
response) has been reported to be meaningful for the patient (within-patient minimal important 
difference); while a DLQI absolute score of 0 or 1 indicates no or small impact of the disease on 
health related QOL. Subjects will be asked to complete the DLQI as outlined in the Schedule of 
Study Assessments (Table 5‒1). Study site personnel should ensure that each subject completes 
the instrument prior to leaving the study site. 
9.5
Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale
The HADS was chosen for its well-established psychometric properties and its use in clinical 
research on biological therapy in subjects with chronic plaque psoriasis (Dauden et al, 2009; 
Langley et al, 2010). The HADS scores for anxiety and for depression range from 0 to 21 with 
higher scores indicating worse state. A score below 8 is considered to be normal wheras a score 
of 15 and above is considered severe (Snaith and Zigmond, 1994).
9.6
Modified Nail Psoriasis Severity Index Score
Psoriatic nail disease will be evaluated at the Baseline Visit using the modified Nail Psoriasis 
Severity Index (mNAPSI). All affected nails will be scored (0 to 3) for onycholysis/oil drop 
dyschromia, nail plate crumbling, and pitting and will be scored (0 for “no” or  1 for “yes”) for 
leukonychia, nail bed hyperkeratosis, splinter hemorrhages and red spots in the lunula. The score 
for an individual nail ranges from 0 to 13 with higher scores indicative of more severe nail 
disease. The total mNAPSI score is the sum of the scores for each individual nail. If a nail is 
unaffected, it will be recorded as such and will not contribute to the total mNAPSI score. 
Subjects with nail disease at Baseline are defined as those with an mNAPSI score >0 at Baseline.
The mNAPSI will be assessed at the visits specified in Table 5‒1.

Patient’s Global Assessment of Disease Activity for the arthritis 
visual analog scale
The PGADA for the arthritis visual analog scale (VAS) will be used to provide an overall 
evaluation of arthritis disease symptoms. Subjects will respond to the question, “Considering all 
the ways your arthritis affects you, please mark a vertical line on the scale below to show how 
you are feeling today”, using a VAS where 0 is “very good, no symptoms” and 100 is “very 
poor, severe symptoms.
Each subject will complete the PGADA at the visits specified in Table 5‒1.
9.8
Patient Global Impression of Change
The PGIC will be assessed at Baseline and on a weekly basis following the completion of all the 
patient symptom diary items. Only patients in selected countries who participate in the 
completion of the patient symptom diary will participate in the completion of the PGIC. 
The PGIC is a 5-item instrument that will ask the participants to think about their 
psoriasis-related symptoms (including itching, pain, scaling, and sleep loss) since they started 
this study. Each item has 7 response categories ranging from “Very much improved,” “Much 
improved,” “Minimally improved,” “No change,” “Minimally worse,”  “Much worse,” to “Very 
much worse.”
9.9
Patient Global Impression of Severity
The PGIS will be completed at Baseline and on a weekly basis following the completion of all 
patient symptom diary items. Only patients in selected countries who participate in the 
completion of the patient symptom diary will participate in the completion of the PGIS. 
The PGIS is a 5-item instrument that will ask the participants to think about their 
psoriasis-related symptoms (including itching, pain, scaling, and sleep loss) over the past week 
and an additional 5 items asking about the same set of symptoms at the current point in time. 
Each item has 5 response categories ranging from “No (symptoms),” “Mild (symptoms),” 
“Moderate (symptoms),” “Severe (symptoms),” to “Very severe (symptoms).”
Both PGIC and PGIS will be used to evaluate participants overall sense of the status and 
perceived improvement in relevant symptoms and to aid the interpretation of the changes in the 
patient symptom diary.
9.10
Psoriasis Scalp Severity Index
The PSSI considers both the extent of the area of involvement and the severity based on the 
scoring scales outlined in Table 9‒3. The assessment considers erythema, induration and 
desquamation on the scalp. For each of these 3 elements, the scores of the area and severity are 
multiplied. Then, the score from each element is totaled to obtain the PSSI score. As with the 
PASI, the PSSI score ranges from 0 to 72 with a higher score indicating increased scalp disease 
severity.
The PSSI will be assessed at the visits specified in Table 5‒1.

Patient Symptom Diary responses
UCB is developing a new PRO measure that will be used to assess key symptoms relevant to 
patients with moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis. PS0010 will use the draft PRO 
measure in selected countries to enable psychometric validation of the PRO. Site staff will train 
the participating subjects on the use of the electronic PRO (ePRO) diary at the Screening Visit, 
following which the device will be dispensed to the subject for home use until the Week 12 Visit. 
The ePRO diary will be administered on a daily basis from Screening to the Week 12 Visit.
Item content of the ePRO diary will be finalized prior to study initiation and will include a 
variety of psoriasis-related characteristics, reported as relevant by patients in the published 
literature and planned concept elicitation interviews. The ePRO diary will also administer 
appropriate anchor items (eg, patient global impression of change, and patient global impression 
of concept) at the end of every study week. The ePRO diary software will be programmed such 
that the subjects will be given a window of opportunity to complete the ePRO diary each 
evening. The data collected on the ePRO diary will be uploaded to a central server database and 
will be 21 CFR Part 11 compliant. Appropriate GCP procedures (including subject/site training 
and testing) will be performed at the study sites

36-Item Short Form Health Survey
The SF-36 (Version 2, standard recall) is a 36-item generic health related QOL instrument that 
uses a recall period of 4 weeks. Items are grouped into 8 domains as follows: Physical 
Functioning (10 items), Role Physical (4 items), Bodily Pain (2 items), General Health (5 items),
Vitality (4 items), Social Functioning (2 items), Role Emotional (3 items), Mental Health (5 
items), and 1 item for perceived stability or change in health (Health Transition) during the last 
year. The concepts represented by these domains contribute to physical, mental, and social 
aspects of health-related QOL. In addition to domain scores, the PCS and MCS scores are 
calculated from the 8 domains (excluding the Health Transition item). Component scores 
appreciate the impact of each domain on physical and mental health status (Maruish, 2011). Each 
of the 8 domain scores and the component summary scores range from 0 to 100, with a higher 
score indicating a better health status. The domains and the 2 component summary scores are 
standardized with a mean of 50 and a standard deviation (SD) of 10 in the general USA 
population. The minimally important differences (MIDs), in terms of T-score points, for SF-36 
domains and component summaries are the following: PCS, 2; MCS, 3; Physical Functioning, 3; 
Role-Physical, 3; Bodily Pain, 3; General Health, 2; Vitality, 2; Social Functioning, 3; 
Role-Emotional, 4; and Mental Health, 3.
The SF-36 will be completed by the subject the visits specified in Table 5‒1.

will be determined when the results of the main study are made available. 
A separate Informed Consent Form will be required for those subjects who agree to participate in 
the genomics, genetics, and proteomics substudy. The substudy will only be conducted where 
ethically accepted and authorized by the regulatory agencies. Refusal to participate in the 
substudy will not affect a subject’s ability to participate in the main study. 
The samples will be stored at -80°C at the central biorepository for up to 20 years.

ASSESSMENT OF IMMUNOLOGICAL VARIABLES
11.1
Assessment of immunogenicity
Blood samples for measurement of antibodies to bimekizumab will be collected at the visits 
specified in Table 5‒1. The threshold for antibody positivity will be defined prior to analysis.
At dosing visits, blood samples will be drawn prior to dosing, and will be drawn at the same time 
of the sampling for clinical laboratory tests. The time and date of collection will be recorded in 
the eCRF. 
Instructions pertaining to sample collection, processing, storage, labeling, and shipping are 
provided in the laboratory manual for this study. The presence of antibodies to bimekizumab will 
be determined using a validated bioanalytical method. Detailed information on sample analysis 
will be provided in a bioanalytical report.

ASSESSMENT OF SAFETY
12.1
Adverse events
12.1.1
Definition of adverse event
An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation 
subject administered a pharmaceutical product that does not necessarily have a causal 
relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign 
(including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the 
use of a medicinal (investigational) product, whether or not related to the medicinal 
(investigational) product.
In order to ensure complete safety data collection, all AEs occurring during the study (ie, after 
the signing of the Informed Consent Form), including any pretreatment and posttreatment

periods required by the protocol, must be reported in the CRF even if no IMP was taken but 
specific study procedures were conducted. This includes all AEs not present prior to the initial 
visit and all AEs that recurred or worsened after the initial visit.
Signs or symptoms of the condition/disease for which the IMP is being studied should be 
recorded as AEs only if their nature changes considerably or their frequency or intensity 
increases in a clinically significant manner as compared to the clinical profile known to the 
Investigator from the subject’s history or the Baseline Period.
12.1.2
Adverse events of special interest
An AE of special interest (AESI) is any AE that a regulatory authority has mandated be reported 
on an expedited basis, regardless of the seriousness, expectedness, or relatedness of the AE to the 
administration of a UCB product/compound.
Potential Hy’s Law, defined as ≥3xULN ALT or AST with coexisting ≥2xULN total bilirubin in 
the absence of ≥2xULN ALP, with no alternative explanation for the biochemical abnormality, 
must ALWAYS be reported to UCB as an AESI (ie, without waiting for any additional etiologic 
investigations to have been concluded). Follow-up information should then be reported if an 
alternative etiology is identified during investigation and monitoring of the subject.
12.1.3
Adverse events for special monitoring
UCB has identified AEs for special monitoring (AESM). An AESM is an AE or safety topic for 
which special monitoring, additional data collection activities, and/or enhanced signal detection 
activities (within UCB), are considered appropriate. Identified AESM can be of particular 
interest based on findings from the IMP clinical program to date, potential risks generally 
associated with biologic immunomodulators, or comorbidities and risk factors prevalent in the 
study population.
Adverse events for special monitoring for this study include: serious infections (including 
opportunistic infections and TB, see Section 12.6.1), cytopenias, hypersensitivities, suicide 
ideation or behavior (assessed using the eC-SSRS), depression-and anxiety (assessed using the 
HADS, see Section 9.5), major cardiovascular events and liver function test changes/enzyme 
elevations (ALT, AST, and bilirubin; see Section 12.5.1), malignancies, and inflammatory bowel 
diseases.
12.1.4
Procedures for reporting and recording adverse events
The subject will be given the opportunity to report AEs spontaneously. A general prompt will 
also be given at each study visit to detect AEs. For example:
“Did you notice anything unusual about your health (since your last visit)?”
In addition, the Investigator should review any self-assessment procedures (eg, diary cards) 
employed in the study.
12.1.5
Description of adverse events
When recording an AE, the Investigator should use the overall diagnosis or syndrome using 
standard medical terminology, rather than recording individual symptoms or signs. The CRF and 
source documents should be consistent. Any discrepancies between the subject’s own words on

his/her own records (eg, diary card) and the corresponding medical terminology should be 
clarified in the source documentation.
When recording the severity of an AE in the CRF (ie, mild, moderate, or severe), the Investigator 
must refer to the CTCAE Version 4 
(http://ctep.cancer.gov/protocolDevelopment/electronic_applications/ctc.htm). Details for 
completion of the Adverse Event CRF (including judgment of severity and relationship to IMP) 
are described in the CRF Completion Guidelines.
12.1.6
Follow up of adverse events
An AE should be followed until it has resolved, has a stable sequelae, the Investigator
determines that it is no longer clinically significant, or the subject is lost to follow up. 
If an AE is ongoing at the end of the study for a subject, follow up should be provided until 
resolution/stable level of sequelae is achieved, or until the Investigator no longer deems that it is 
clinically significant, or until the subject is lost to follow up. If no follow up is provided, the 
Investigator must provide a justification. The follow up will usually be continued for 20 weeks 
after the subject has discontinued his/her IMP.
12.1.7
Rule for repetition of an adverse event
An increase in the intensity of an AE should lead to the repetition of the AE being reported with:
!
The outcome date of the first AE that is not related to the natural course of the disease being 
the same as the start date of the repeated AE, and the outcome of “worsening”
!
The AE verbatim term being the same for the first and repeated AE, so that the repeated AE 
can be easily identified as the worsening of the first one
12.1.8
Pregnancy
If an Investigator is notified that a subject has become pregnant after the first intake of any IMP, 
the Investigator must immediately notify UCB’s Patient Safety (PS) department by providing the 
completed Pregnancy Report and Outcome form (for contact details see SAE reporting 
information at the beginning of this protocol). The subject should be withdrawn from the study 
as soon as pregnancy is known (by positive pregnancy test), and the following should be 
completed:
!
The subject should return for an early Withdrawal Visit.

The subject should immediately stop the intake of the IMP 
!
A SFU Visit should be scheduled 20 weeks after the subject has discontinued her IMP.
The Investigator must inform the subject of information currently known about potential risks 
and about available treatment alternatives.
The pregnancy will be documented on the Pregnancy Report and Outcome form provided to the 
Investigator. The progression of the pregnancy and the eventual birth (if applicable) must be 
followed up using the Pregnancy Report and Outcome form in which the Investigator has to 
report on the health of the mother and of the child. Every reasonable attempt should be made to 
follow the health of the child for 30 days after birth for any significant medical issues. In certain 
circumstances, UCB may request that follow up is continued for a period longer than 30 days. If

the subject is lost to follow up and/or refuses to give information, written documentation of 
attempts to contact the subject needs to be provided by the Investigator and filed at the site. 
UCB’s PS department is the primary contact for any questions related to the data collection for 
the pregnancy, eventual birth, and follow up.
In cases where the partner of a male subject enrolled in a clinical study becomes pregnant, the 
Investigator or designee is asked to contact the subject to request consent of the partner via the 
Partner Pregnancy Consent form that has been approved by the responsible IRB/IEC and should 
be available in the Investigator site file. In case of questions about the consent process, the 
Investigator may contact the UCB/contract research organization (CRO) contract monitor for the 
study. The Investigator will complete the Pregnancy Report and Outcome form and send it to 
UCB’s PS department (for contact details see SAE reporting information at the beginning of this 
protocol) only after the partner has agreed that additional information can be captured and has 
provided the signed Partner Pregnancy Consent form. UCB’s PS department is also the primary 
contact for any questions related to the data collection for the partner pregnancy, eventual birth, 
and follow up.
A pregnancy becomes an SAE in the following circumstances: miscarriage, abortion (elective for 
a medical indication or spontaneous), unintended pregnancy after hormonal contraceptive failure 
(if the hormonal contraceptive was correctly used), ectopic pregnancy, fetal demise, or any 
congenital anomaly/birth defect of the baby. Those SAEs must be additionally reported using the 
Investigator SAE Report Form.
12.1.9
Suspected transmission of an infectious agent via a medicinal 
product
For the purposes of reporting, any suspected transmission of an infectious agent via a medicinal 
product should be considered as an SAE; such cases must be reported immediately, recorded in 
the AE module of the CRF, and followed as any other SAE. Any organism, virus, or infectious 
particle (eg, prion protein transmitting transmissible spongiform encephalopathy), pathogenic or 
nonpathogenic, is considered an infectious agent.
12.1.10
Overdose of investigational medicinal product
Excessive dosing (beyond that prescribed in the protocol and including overdose) should be 
recorded in the eCRF. Any SAE or nonserious AE associated with excessive dosing must be 
followed as any other SAE or nonserious AE. These events are only considered AEs or SAEs if 
there are associated clinical signs and symptoms or if the act of taking the excess medicine itself 
is an AE or SAE (eg, suicide attempt).
12.1.11
Safety signal detection
Selected data from this study will be reviewed periodically to detect as early as possible any 
safety concern(s) related to the IMP so that Investigators, clinical study subjects, regulatory 
authorities, and IRBs/IECs will be informed appropriately and as early as possible.
In addition, an independent Data Monitoring Committee (DMC) will periodically review and 
monitor the safety data from this study and advise UCB. Details are provided in the DMC
Charter. A cardiovascular (CV) Adjudication Committee will also periodically review and 
monitor the safety data from this study and advise UCB. Details are provided in the CV 
Adjudication Committee Charter.

The Study Physician or medically qualified designee/equivalent will conduct an ongoing review 
of SAEs and perform ongoing SAE reconciliations in collaboration with the PS representative.
As appropriate for the stage of development and accumulated experience with the IMP, 
medically qualified personnel at UCB may identify additional safety measures (eg, AEs, vital 
signs, laboratory or ECG results) for which data will be periodically reviewed during the course 
of the study.
12.2
Serious adverse events
12.2.1
Definition of serious adverse event
Once it is determined that a subject experienced an AE, the seriousness of the AE must be 
determined. An SAE must meet 1 or more of the following criteria:
!
Death
!
Life-threatening
(Life-threatening does not include a reaction that might have caused death had it occurred in 
a more severe form.)
!
Significant or persistent disability/incapacity
!
Congenital anomaly/birth defect (including that occurring in a fetus)
!
Important medical event that, based upon appropriate medical judgment, may jeopardize the 
patient or subject and may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent 1 of the other 
outcomes listed in the definition of serious
(Important medical events may include but are not limited to, potential Hy’s Law (see 
Section 12.1.2), allergic bronchospasm requiring intensive treatment in an emergency room 
or at home, blood dyscrasias that do not result in inpatient hospitalization, or the 
development of drug dependency or drug abuse.)
!
Initial inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization
(A patient admitted to a hospital, even if he/she is released on the same day, meets the 
criteria for the initial inpatient hospitalization. An emergency room visit that results in 
admission to the hospital would also qualify for the initial inpatient hospitalization criteria. 
However, emergency room visits that do not result in admission to the hospital would not 
qualify for this criteria and, instead, should be evaluated for 1 of the other criteria in the 
definition of serious [eg, life-threatening adverse experience, important medical event].
Hospitalizations for reasons not associated with the occurrence of an AE [eg, preplanned 
surgery or elective surgery for a pre-existing condition that has not worsened or manifested 
in an unusual or uncharacteristic manner] do not qualify for reporting. For example, if a 
subject has a condition recorded on his/her medical history and later has a preplanned surgery 
for this condition, it is not appropriate to record the surgery or hospitalization as an SAE, 
since there is no AE upon which to assess the serious criteria. Please note that, if the 
pre-existing condition has worsened or manifested in an unusual or uncharacteristic manner, 
this would then qualify as an AE and, if necessary, the seriousness of the event would need to 
be determined.)

Note: Confirmed active TB is always to be considered as an SAE and must be captured on an 
SAE Report Form and provided to the Sponsor in accordance with SAE reporting requirements.
12.2.2
Procedures for reporting serious adverse events
If an SAE is reported, UCB must be informed within 24 hours of receipt of this information by 
the site (see contact information for SAE reporting listed in the Serious Adverse Event Reporting 
section at the front of the protocol). The Investigator must forward to UCB (or its representative) 
a duly completed “Investigator SAE Report Form for Development Drug” (SAE Report Form) 
provided by UCB, even if the data are incomplete, or if it is obvious that more data will be 
needed in order to draw any conclusions. Information recorded on this form will be entered into 
the global safety database.
An Investigator SAE Report Form will be provided to the Investigator. The Investigator SAE 
Report Form must be completed in English. 
It is important for the Investigator, when completing the SAE Report Form, to include the 
assessment as to a causal relationship between the SAE and the IMP administration. This insight 
from the Investigator is very important for UCB to consider in assessing the safety of the IMP 
and in determining whether the SAE requires reporting to the regulatory authorities in an 
expedited manner.
Additional information (eg, autopsy or laboratory reports) received by the Investigator must be 
provided within 24 hours. All documents in the local language must be accompanied by a 
translation in English, or the relevant information included in the same document must be 
summarized in the Investigator SAE Report Form.
The Investigator is specifically requested to collect and report to UCB (or its representative) any 
SAEs (even if the Investigator is certain that they are in no way associated with the IMP), up to 
30 days from the end of the study for each subject, and to also inform participating subjects of 
the need to inform the Investigator of any SAE within this period. Serious AEs that the 
Investigator thinks may be associated with the IMP must be reported to UCB regardless of the 
time between the event and the end of the study.
Upon receipt of the SAE Report Form, UCB will perform an assessment of expectedness of the 
reported SAE. The assessment of the expectedness of the SAE is based on the IB.
12.2.3
Follow up of serious adverse events
An SAE should be followed until it has resolved, has a stable sequelae, the Investigator
determines that it is no longer clinically significant, or the subject is lost to follow up. 
Information on SAEs obtained after clinical database lock will be captured through the Drug 
Safety database without limitation of time.
12.3
Immediate reporting of adverse events
The following AEs must be reported immediately:
!
SAE: AE that the Investigator classifies as serious by the above definitions regardless of 
causality
!
Suspected transmission of an infectious agent via a medicinal product

Anticipated serious adverse events
The following list of Anticipated SAEs has been identified, as these events are anticipated to 
occur in the population studied in this protocol at some frequency that is independent of drug 
exposure. This original list will remain in effect for the duration of the protocol. Note that listed 
events will not be regarded as anticipated SAEs if they are life threatening or if they result in the 
death of the study subject.
This list does not change the Investigator’s obligation to report all SAEs (including Anticipated 
SAEs) as detailed in Section 12.2.2.

Laboratory measurements
Clinical laboratory assessments consist of serum chemistry, hematology, and urinalysis. A 
centralized laboratory will be used to supply all laboratory test supplies and analyze all blood 
and urine samples for hematology, biochemistry and urinalysis measurements. Any unscheduled 
laboratory testing should also be collected using the central laboratory. Testing to rule out 
hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and HIV (see Exclusion Criterion #7, Section 6.2) will be performed at 
Screening in addition to those measurements listed in Table 12‒2. 
Specific details regarding the handling and processing of serum chemistry, hematology, and 
urinalysis samples are provided in the study laboratory manuals.

12.5.1
Evaluation of PDILI
The PDILI IMP discontinuation criteria for this study are provided in Section 6.3.1, with the 
accompanying required follow-up investigation and monitoring detailed below. All PDILI events 
must be reported as an AE and reported to the study site and sponsor within 24 hours of learning 
of their occurrence. Any PDILI event that meets the criterion for potential Hy’s Law must be 
reported as an AESI (see Section 12.1.2), and, if applicable, also reported as an SAE (see 
Section 12.2.1). 
Evaluation of PDILI consists of the diagnostic testing and continued monitoring included in 
Table 12‒3 (specific tests dependent on laboratory results and corresponding symptoms) and 
consultation with a local hepatologist (if applicable; discussed in Section 12.5.1.1). The local 
hepatologist is the expert usually consulted by the treating physician for assessment and 
management of potential hepatic disease. This would usually be a hepatologist, but may be a 
gastroenterologist. Additional investigation and monitoring may be required and adapted based 
on the diagnosis after the cause of the liver injury/abnormality is confirmed (details in 
Section 12.5.1.5). 
The results of all monitoring, including laboratory testing and other testing, should be made 
available to the study site and Sponsor.
All initial tests resulting in abnormal hepatic laboratory values need to be repeated, but 
appropriate medical action must not be delayed waiting for the repeat result.

If tests are done locally for more rapid results, a concurrent sample should also be sent to the 
central laboratory whenever possible. Medical care decisions are to be made initially using the 
most rapidly available results and a conservative approach must be taken if the results from the 2 
laboratory tests are significantly different. Data from the local and central laboratory are to be 
recorded on the applicable CRF pages.
When IMP is discontinued, all concomitant medications and herbal supplements that are not 
medically necessary should also be discontinued. In these cases, the investigator should also 
consider dose reduction for medically necessary concomitant medication and consider changing 
any medically required concomitant medication known to be hepatotoxic to a suitable 
alternative.
Rechallenge with a substance potentially causing drug-induced liver injury is dangerous, may be 
fatal, and must not occur.

12.5.1.1
Consultation with Medical Monitor and local hepatologist
Potential drug-induced liver injury events require notification of the Medical Monitor within 
24 hours (eg, by laboratory alert), and the subject must be discussed with the Medical Monitor as 
soon as possible. If required, the subject must also be discussed with the local hepatologist. The 
local hepatologist is the expert usually consulted by the treating physician for assessment and 
management of potential hepatic disease. This would usually be a hepatologist, but may be a 
gastroenterologist. If determined necessary, this discussion should be followed by a full 
hepatology assessment (see Section 12.5.1.4) and SAE report (if applicable).
12.5.1.2
Immediate action: determination of IMP discontinuation
All PDILI events require immediate action, testing, and monitoring. 
The immediate action is dependent on the laboratory values and symptoms of hepatitis or 
hypersensitivity and ranges from continuation of IMP (followed by immediate investigation) to 
immediate and permanent discontinuation (see Section 6.3.1 and Table 12‒3 for details).
When IMP is discontinued, all concomitant medications and herbal supplements that are not 
medically necessary should also be discontinued. The investigator should also consider dose 
reduction for medically necessary concomitant medication and consider changing any medically 
required concomitant medication known to be hepatotoxic to a suitable alternative.
12.5.1.3
IMP restart/rechallenge
Rechallenge with a substance potentially causing drug-induced liver injury is dangerous, may be 
fatal, and must not occur.
12.5.1.4
Testing: identification/exclusion of alternative etiology
The measurements and additional information required for the assessment of PDILI events when 
there is a reasonable possibility that they may have been caused by the IMP are included but not 
limited to those listed in Table 12‒4 (laboratory measurements) and Table 12‒5 (additional 
information). Results of the laboratory measurements and information collected are to be 
submitted to the sponsor on the corresponding CRF. If the medical history of the subject 
indicates a requirement for other assessments not included below, these additional assessments 
should be completed and submitted, as applicable.
All blood samples should be stored, if possible. If tests are done locally for more rapid results, a 
concurrent sample must also be sent to the central laboratory.
The following measurements are to be assessed:

and symptoms of TB. In addition, each subject will complete a TB questionnaire with questions 
directed at symptoms of TB and potential exposure to TB. 
Exclusion criteria at Screening
Subjects with known TB infection, at high risk of acquiring TB infection, or latent TB infection 
are excluded. 
a.
Known TB infection whether present or past is defined as:
∀
Active TB infection or clinical signs and symptoms suspicious for TB (pulmonary or 
extra-pulmonary)
∀
History of active TB infection involving any organ system or findings in other organ 
systems consistent with TB infection, unless adequately treated and proven to be fully 
recovered upon consult with a TB specialist.
∀
Any evidence by radiography or other imaging modalities consistent with previously 
active TB infection that is not reported in the subject’s medical history
b. High risk of acquiring TB infection is defined as:
∀
Known exposure to another person with active TB infection within the 3 months prior to 
Screening
∀
Time spent in a healthcare delivery setting or institution where individuals infected with 
TB are housed and where the risk of transmission of infection is high
c.
Latent TB infection is defined as:
∀
The absence of signs, symptoms (ie, evidence of organ-specific involvement), or physical 
findings suggestive of TB infection with a positive IGRA test (or 2 indeterminate IGRA 
test results) and a chest x-ray (or other imaging) without evidence of TB infection. If the 
result of the IGRA test is indeterminate, the particular IGRA test previously performed 
may be repeated once; if positive or indeterminate on retest, the subject may not be 
randomized to study medication. The retest must be done during the protocol-defined 
Screening window (2 to 4 weeks).
Note: If available, respiratory or other specimens must also be smear and culture 
negative for TB (Centers for Disease Control [CDC] diagnosis of LTB infection)
http://www.cdc.gov/TB/topic /testing/default.htm)
d. Current or history of nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTMB) infection despite prior or 
current therapy.
Signs and Symptoms
The Investigator should consider all potential sites of infection when assessing for TB during the 
physical examination, and other evaluations, and based on the subject’s medical or social history. 
The most common primary focus of TB is the lung. Other sites may include gastrointestinal 
system, bone/joints, lymph glands and meninges etc. However, in immune compromised patients 
and/or patients treated with TNF inhibitors, extra-pulmonary manifestations of TB is common 
compared to normal population.

Some common symptoms that the subject may present are dependent on the primary focus of 
infection and may include cough, blood in sputum, night sweats, lymphadenitis, joint 
pain/swelling, spinal deformity, headache/confusion, abdominal pain (mimicking inflammatory 
bowel disease), etc. Unusual presentations should always be considered.
LTBI is defined in the “Exclusion Criteria” above. If the result of the IGRA is indeterminate, the 
particular IGRA previously performed may be repeated once; if positive or indeterminate on 
retest, the subject may not be randomized to study medication. If LTBI or active TB is identified, 
subject must undergo appropriate study specified withdrawal procedures. The retest must be 
done during the protocol-defined Screening window (2 to 4 weeks). Laboratory diagnosis should 
be undertaken via mycobacteria culture media (or if available by preferred nucleic acid 
amplification test such as the Xpert MTB RIF test) and result must be negative for TB inducing 
pathogens.
Test Conversion
Tuberculosis test conversion is defined as a positive IGRA result for the current test when 
previous IGRA test results were negative. All subjects with TB test conversion must immediately
stop study drug administration. In case of a TB test conversion, the subject must be considered as 
having either a suspected new latent or an active TB infection and be promptly referred to an 
appropriate specialist (eg, pulmonologist, infectious disease specialist) for further evaluation. If 
test conversion indicates LTBI, active TB, or NTMB then, per UCB TB working instructions, 
TB test conversion (confirmed) should be classified adequately, either as due to LTBI, active TB 
infection, or NTMB, respectively. Additional assessments (eg, blood tests or IGRA, chest x-rays, 
or other imaging) should be performed where medically relevant and documented. Such 
conversions should be reported to the UCB Drug Safety function.
Latent TB
In case the evaluation by the appropriate specialist indicates a new LTBI during the study, a 
prophylactic TB treatment should be initiated and the subject must be withdrawn from the study. 
Every related action should be discussed in advance with the Medical Monitor. 
Once withdrawn from study treatment, subjects should return for the Week 12/WD Visit, 
complete all Early Withdrawal Visit assessments, and complete a SFU Visit (20 weeks after the 
last dose of study medication).
Active TB or nontuberculosis mycobacterium infection 
Subjects who develop active TB or NTMB infection during the study must be withdrawn from 
the study. The subject must be immediately discontinued from study medication and an Early 
Withdrawal Visit must be scheduled as soon as possible, but no later than the next scheduled 
visit. The subject should be encouraged to keep the SFU Visit as specified by the protocol. 
Treatment should be started immediately.
Note that subjects with history of NTMB or active NTMB infection are excluded from the study 
regardless of prior or current therapy for this condition. 
12.6.1.1
Tuberculosis assessment by IGRA
During conduct of the study, the TB assessment by IGRA (QuantiFERON TB GOLD is 
recommended) will be performed at Screening and should be repeated at Week 8/Early

Subjects diagnosed with active TB or LTB infection should be withdrawn from the study and 
receive appropriate TB or prophylaxis therapy. 
Any presumptive diagnosis or diagnosis of a TB infection is a reportable event. Confirmed active 
TB must be reported as an SAE. The Investigator is to complete and submit the TB follow up 
form provided.
The subject should be transferred to the care of his/her physician and managed according to the 
best available standard of care. Subjects identified as having converted to active TB during the 
study must be withdrawn and scheduled to return for the Week 12/WD Visit as soon as possible 
but no later than the next scheduled study visit and complete all Week 12/WD Visit assessments. 
The subject should be encouraged to complete a SFU Visit (20 weeks after the last dose of study 
medication).
If infection with NTMB is identified during the study, the same procedure as for active TB 
acquired during the study must be followed.
12.6.2
Pregnancy testing
Pregnancy testing will consist of serum testing at the Screening and SFU Visits. The pregnancy 
test will be urine at all other visits. 
The Screening Visit serum pregnancy testing results must be negative and received and reviewed 
prior to randomization. A negative urine pregnancy test result should be obtained immediately 
prior to each administration of study drug and at all subsequent post-dosing visits. Pregnancy 
tests should be administered to all female subjects of childbearing potential, regardless of their 
use of birth control.
12.6.3
Vital signs
Vital signs will be collected at every visit and will include systolic and diastolic BP, pulse rate, 
and body temperature (oral, axillary, or otic). Subjects should be sitting for 5 minutes before and 
during vital signs assessments. 
Vital signs are to be measured prior to blood sampling, and prior to dosing, where applicable. 
12.6.4
12-lead electrocardiograms
Twelve-lead standard ECGs will be recorded at the visits specified in Table 5‒1, and read by a 
central ECG laboratory. 
Full details of ECG recording will be provided in the ECG Manual.

Physical examination
The physical examination will include general appearance; ear, nose, and throat; eyes, hair, and 
skin; respiratory; cardiovascular; GI; musculoskeletal; hepatic; neurological (including limb 
reflexes); and mental status. Physical examination will be performed at Screening, the 
Week 12/WD Visit, and the SFU Visit. Findings considered clinically significant changes since 
the physical examination at the Screening Visit will be recorded as AEs.

Assessment of suicidal ideation and behavior
Suicidal ideation and behavior will be assessed by trained study personnel using the eC-SSRS.  
This scale will be used to assess suicidal ideation and behavior that may occur during the study. 
The visits at which the eC-SSRS assessments will be performed are specified in the schedule of 
study assessments (Section 5.2). 
The eC-SSRS is a standardized and validated instrument developed for the assessment of the 
severity and frequency of suicidal ideation and behavior (Mundt et al, 2010; Posner et al, 2011). 
Subjects respond to standardized clinical questions that are presented in a uniform fashion. The 
eC-SSRS defines 5 subtypes of suicidal ideation and behavior in addition to self-injurious 
behavior with no suicidal intent. The eC-SSRS takes approximately 3 to 10 minutes to complete.
Refer to Section 6.3 for eC-SSRS-related withdrawal criteria.

co-Investigators, or as study subject care physicians. The duration of membership for the DMC 
will be inclusive of planned analyses for PS0010. The DMC may also be asked to provide a 
review of final study results, as deemed appropriate.
The detailed role, scope, responsibilities, and complete procedures, as well as the identity of the 
DMC members, will be described in a separate charter document.
The DMC procedures will ensure that data remain blind to the study team and Investigators at all 
times throughout the conduct of the study.

A cardiovascular (CV) Adjudication Committee will also periodically review the safety data 
from this study. Details will be described in a separate charter document.

STUDY MANAGEMENT AND ADMINISTRATION 
13.1
Adherence to protocol
The Investigator should not deviate from the protocol. However, the Investigator should take any 
measure necessary in deviation from or not defined by the protocol in order to protect clinical 
study subjects from any immediate hazard to their health and safety. In this case, this action 
should be taken immediately, without prior notification of the regulatory authority, IRB/IEC, or 
Sponsor.
After implementation of such measure, the Investigator must notify the CPM of the Sponsor
within 24 hours and follow any local regulatory requirements.
13.2
Monitoring
UCB (or designee) will monitor the study to meet the Sponsor’s monitoring Standard Operating 
Procedures (SOPs), ICH-GCP guideline, and applicable regulatory requirements, and to ensure 
that study initiation, conduct, and closure are adequate. Monitoring of the study may be 
delegated by UCB to a CRO or a contract monitor.
The Investigator and his/her staff are expected to cooperate with UCB (or designee) and to be 
available during the monitoring visits to answer questions sufficiently and to provide any 
missing information. The Investigator(s)/institution(s) will permit direct access to source 
data/documents for study-related monitoring, audits, IRB/IEC review, and regulatory 
inspection(s).
The Investigator will allow UCB (or designee) to periodically review all CRFs and 
corresponding source documents (eg, hospital and laboratory records for each study participant). 
Monitoring visits will provide UCB (or designee) with the opportunity to evaluate the progress 
of the study, verify the accuracy and completeness of eCRFs, ensure that all protocol 
requirements, applicable authorities regulations, and Investigator’s obligations are being 
fulfilled, and resolve any inconsistencies in the study records.
13.2.1
Definition of source data 
All source documents must be accurate, clear, unambiguous, permanent, and capable of being 
audited. Source documentation should be made using some permanent form of recording (ink, 
typing, printing, optical disc). They should not be obscured by correction fluid or have temporary 
attachments (such as removable self-stick notes). Photocopies of eCRFs are not considered 
acceptable source documents. Source documents are original records in which raw data are first 
recorded. These may include hospital/clinic/general practitioner records, charts, diaries, x-rays, 
laboratory results, printouts, pharmacy records, care records, ECG or other printouts, completed 
scales, or quality of life questionnaires, for example. Source documents should be kept in a 
secure, limited access area.
Sponsor or designee will review to ensure that computerized source documents produced by the 
site are compliant with FDA Part 11 requirements and document appropriately. Source 
documents that are computer generated and stored electronically that are not FDA Part 11 
compliant, must be printed for review by the monitor (eg, ECG reports). Once printed, these

copies should be signed and dated by the Investigator and become a permanent part of the 
subject’s source documents. The Investigator will facilitate the process for enabling the monitor 
to compare the content of the printout and the data stored in the computer to ensure all data are 
consistent.
Electronic data records, such as Holter monitor records or electroencephalogram records, must 
be saved and stored as instructed by the Sponsor or designee. 
Patient Reported Outcome (PRO) measures (eg, DLQI, SF-36, and PGADA) will be completed 
by each subject utilizing electronic data capture.
The ePRO diary data will be entered into an electronic diary by the subject. The data collection 
and database management system will be supplied by a vendor and will be compliant with the 
FDA Part 11. The data collected on the ePRO diary will be uploaded to a central server database 
and will be sent electronically to UCB (or a designated CRO).
13.2.2
Source data verification
Source data verification ensures accuracy and credibility of the data obtained. During monitoring 
visits, reported data are reviewed with regard to being accurate, complete, and verifiable from 
source documents (eg, subject files, recordings from automated instruments, tracings [ECG], 
x-ray films, laboratory notes). All data reported on the eCRF should be supported by source 
documents, unless otherwise specified in Section 13.2.1.
13.3
Data handling
13.3.1
Case Report Form completion
This study will use electronic data capture (EDC); the Investigator is responsible for prompt 
reporting of accurate, complete, and legible data in the eCRF and in all required reports.
This study will use an electronic device to capture patient reported outcomes (see 
Section 13.2.1).
Serious adverse event reporting will be done using the SAE Form (see Section 12.2.2) while also 
entering the event in the appropriate eCRF section. The safety database and the clinical database 
will be reconciled during the study and discrepancies will be corrected as needed.
The Investigator should maintain a list of personnel authorized to enter data into the eCRF. 
Access to the EDCwill be given after training has been received. A training certificate will be 
provided and filed.
Detailed instructions on the use of the EDC will be provided in the eCRF Completion 
Guidelines.
Corrections made after the Investigator’s review and approval (by means of a 
password/electronic signature) will be re-approved by the Investigator. Any change or correction 
to the eCRF after saving must be accompanied by a reason for the change.
13.3.2
Database entry and reconciliation
Case Report Forms/external electronic data will be entered/loaded into a validated electronic 
database using a clinical data management system (CDMS). Computerized data cleaning checks 
will be used in addition to manual review to check for discrepancies and to ensure consistency of

the data. This study is performed using EDC: the data are entered into the eCRFs once and are 
subsequently verified.
An electronic audit trail system will be maintained to track all data changes in the database once 
the data have been saved initially into the system or electronically loaded. Regular backups of 
the electronic data will be performed.
13.3.3
Subject Screening and Enrollment log/Subject Identification Code list
The subject’s screening and enrollment will be recorded in the Subject Screening and Enrollment 
Log.
The Investigator will keep a Subject Identification Code list. This list remains with the 
Investigator and is used for unambiguous identification of each subject.
The subject’s consent and enrollment in the study must be recorded in the subject’s medical 
record. These data should identify the study and document the dates of the subject’s 
participation.
13.4
Termination of the study
UCB reserves the right to temporarily suspend or prematurely discontinue this study either at a 
single site, multiple sites, or at all sites at any time for reasons including, but not limited to, 
safety or ethical issues, inaccurate or incomplete data recording, noncompliance, or 
unsatisfactory enrollment with respect to quality or quantity.
If the study is prematurely terminated or suspended, UCB (or its representative) will inform the 
Investigators/institutions and the regulatory authority(ies) of the termination or suspension and 
the reason(s) for the termination or suspension, in accordance with applicable regulatory 
requirement(s). The IRB/IEC should also be informed and provided with reason(s) for the 
termination or suspension by the Sponsor or by the Investigator/institution, as specified by the 
applicable regulatory requirement(s). In addition, arrangements will be made for the return of all 
unused IMP and other material in accordance with UCB procedures for the study.
13.5
Archiving and data retention
The Investigator will maintain adequate records for the study, including eCRFs, medical records, 
laboratory results, Informed Consent documents, drug dispensing and disposition records, safety 
reports, information regarding participants who discontinued, and other pertinent data.
All essential documents are to be retained by the Investigator until at least 2 years after the last 
approval of a marketing application in an ICH region and until there are no pending or 
contemplated marketing applications in an ICH region, or at least 2 years have elapsed since the 
formal discontinuation of clinical development of the IMP. These documents should be retained 
for a longer period, however, if required by the applicable regulatory requirement(s) or by an 
agreement with UCB (CPMP/ICH/135/95, 2002 [Section 4.9.5]). The Investigator will contact 
UCB for authorization prior to the destruction of any study records or in the event of accidental 
loss or destruction of any study records. The Investigator will also notify UCB should he/she 
relocate or move the study-related files to a location other than that specified in the Sponsor’s 
study master file.

13.6
Audit and inspection
The Investigator will permit study-related audits mandated by UCB, after reasonable notice, and 
inspections by domestic or foreign regulatory authorities.
The main purposes of an audit or inspection are to confirm that the rights and well-being of the 
subjects enrolled have been protected, that enrolled subjects (ie, signing consent and undergoing 
study procedures) are appropriate for the study, and that all data relevant for the evaluation of the 
IMP have been processed and reported in compliance with the planned arrangements, the 
protocol, investigational site, and IRB/IEC SOPs, ICH GCP, and applicable regulatory 
requirements.
The Investigator will provide direct access to all study documents, source records, and source
data. If an inspection by a regulatory authority is announced, the Investigator will immediately 
inform UCB (or designee).
13.7
Good Clinical Practice
Noncompliance with the protocol, ICH-GCP, or local regulatory requirements by the 
Investigator, institution, institution staff, or designees of the Sponsor will lead to prompt action 
by UCB to secure compliance. Continued noncompliance may result in the termination of the 
site’s involvement in the study.

STATISTICS
A description of statistical methods is presented below and will be described in more detail in the 
statistical analysis plan (SAP).
14.1
Definition of analysis sets
The Enrolled Set (ES) will consist of all subjects who have given informed consent.
The Randomized Set (RS) will consist of all randomized subjects. 
The Safety Set (SS) will consist of all subjects who received at least 1 dose of the study
medication.
The Full Analysis Set (FAS) will consist of all randomized subjects who received at least 1 dose 
of the study medication and have a valid measurement of the primary efficacy variable at 
Baseline.
The Per-Protocol Set (PPS) will consist of all subjects in the FAS who had no important protocol 
deviation affecting the primary efficacy variable. The subjects with important protocol deviations 
will be pre-defined and evaluated during a data evaluation meeting prior to unblinding of the 
data.

General statistical considerations
Summary statistics will consist of frequency tables for categorical variables. For continuous 
variables, summary statistics will consist of the number of available observations, arithmetic 
mean, standard deviation, median, minimum, and maximum unless stated otherwise.
All statistical tests will be performed based on a 2-sided significance level of 5% unless stated 
otherwise.
14.3
Planned efficacy analyses
14.3.1
Analysis of the primary efficacy variable
The primary efficacy variable will be analyzed for all subjects in the FAS.
The dose-response relationship between treatment and PASI90 response will be assessed using a 
logistic regression model which will include fixed effects for treatment, region, and prior 
biologic exposure (yes/no). This will be evaluated using a linear contrast in which equal spacing 
between each of the doses is assumed. The coefficients for this linear contrast will be -2, -1, 0, 1, 
and 2 for placebo, bimekizumab 64mg Q4W, bimekizumab 160 Q4W, bimekizumab 320mg 
Q4W, and bimekizumab 480mg Q4W, respectively. While the bimekizumab 320mg loading 
dose followed by bimekizumab 160mg Q4W has been left out of the linear contrast for 
evaluating dose response, it will remain a part of the logistic regression model and will be 
compared to the bimekizumab 160mg Q4W dose. Prior biologic exposure was selected as a fixed 
effect in the logistic regression model as it is a stratification variable for randomization and 
because it may have an impact on efficacy. The use of region as a fixed effect in the model is 
also based on its use as a stratification variable in randomization and is intended to combine 
study centers into similar geographic regions. The geographic regions to be used will be defined 
in the IXRS and in the SAP. If the logistic regression model is unable to converge, then prior 
biologic exposure may be dropped from the model to facilitate convergence. The linear contrast 
from the logistic regression model will be evaluated at a 2-sided significance level of α=0.05. 
This evaluation of dose-response will constitute the primary efficacy analysis.
As a supportive analysis for the primary efficacy variable, the same logistic regression model 
described above will be used to assess the effect of each individual dose vs placebo on PASI90 
response. Comparisons will be made for each dose vs placebo at a 2-sided significance level of 
α=0.05. For each dose, the odds ratio vs placebo, the 95% confidence interval, and the 
corresponding p-value will be calculated. 
The pairwise comparisons of bimekizumab versus placebo will be formally evaluated for 
statistical significance only if the primary dose response efficacy analysis is statistically 
significant. Once the dose response has been established, pairwise testing of each bimekizumab
dose versus placebo will account for multiplicity by using a fixed sequence testing procedure 
with each bimekizumab dose being tested sequentially from the highest dose to the lowest dose. 
Each test will only be conducted if the previous test reaches significance at a 2-sided significance 
level of α=0.05. This procedure will control the overall Type I error rate. A pairwise comparison 
will also be made for the bimekizumab 160mg Q4W group versus the bimekizumab 320mg 
loading dose followed by bimekizumab 160mg Q4W group, but this evaluation will not be part 
of the sequential testing procedure described above (ie, the p-value will be nominal).

Non-responder imputation (NRI) will be used to account for missing data in the primary 
analysis. That is, subjects with a missing PASI score at Week 12 or who discontinued study 
treatment prior to the Week 12 Visit will be considered non-responders for the primary analysis.
14.3.1.1
Sensitivity analyses
The primary dose response analysis and pairwise comparisons will be repeated for all subjects in 
the PPS to evaluate the effect of important protocol deviations on the analysis.
An ordered categorical analysis using a non-parametric correlation statistic of Mantel and 
Haenszel (1959) and modified ridit scores will be performed as a sensitivity analysis to the 
primary dose-response evaluation based on the logistic regression model. This analysis will 
include region and prior biologic exposure as stratification factors to adjust for potential 
differences in the dose response based on these variables, and will be evaluated at a 2-sided 
significance level of α=0.05.
Additional sensitivity analyses to evaluate the assumptions related to the handling of missing 
data for the primary efficacy variable will be performed and are described in greater detail in 
Section 14.6.
14.3.2
Other efficacy analyses
14.3.2.1
Analysis of the secondary efficacy variables
The secondary efficacy variables will be analyzed for all subjects in the FAS.
All categorical variables (ie, PASI75/90/100 response, IGA response [clear, almost clear]) will 
be analyzed for treatment effects using pairwise comparisons based on the same method as that 
described for the primary efficacy variable.
Dose and exposure response will be assessed using a non-linear model assessing the relationship 
between dose/exposure and PASI score. The model will include fixed effects for dose/exposure 
and test the clinical and statistical relevance of covariate effects. Further details will be given in a 
separate data analysis plan (DAP) and reported in a separate document.
14.3.2.2
Analysis of the other efficacy variables
All other efficacy variables will be analyzed for all subjects in the FAS.
All categorical variables will be summarized using frequency tables by treatment group for each 
visit.
All continuous variables will be summarized using descriptive statistics by treatment group for 
each visit.
Time to PASI50, PASI75, PASI90, and PASI100 response will be estimated and presented using 
the Kaplan-Meier product-limit method for each treatment. Time to a given response will be 
defined as the length in days from Baseline until the first date when the response is achieved. 
Subjects who discontinue study treatment prior to achieving a response will be censored at the 
date of study treatment discontinuation. Subjects who reach the Week 12 Visit without achieving 
the given response will be censored at the date of the Week 12 Visit. The median time to
response, including the 2-sided 95% confidence interval, will be calculated for each treatment.
Between group differences (each bimekizumab dose vs placebo) will be analyzed with the log-
rank statistic.

All other efficacy variables will be summarized based on imputed data (NRI and last observation 
carried forward [LOCF] for binary and continuous variables, respectively) and observed case 
data (ie, subjects with missing data or who have prematurely discontinued study treatment are 
treated as missing).
14.3.3
Subgroup analyses
Subgroup analyses will be performed on the primary and secondary efficacy variables. The 
following variables for subgroup analyses will be defined: age, gender, disease duration, region, 
body weight, BMI, prior systemic phototherapy or chemophototherapy, prior nonbiologic 
systemic therapy, prior biologic systemic exposure, any prior systemic therapy, and antibody 
positivity. These summaries will be based on imputed data (NRI) and will include descriptive 
statistics only.
14.4
Planned safety and other analyses
14.4.1
Safety analyses
All safety variables will be analyzed for all subjects in the SS. 
Adverse events will be coded according to the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities 
(MedDRA®). Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) will be summarized descriptively by 
treatment group, primary system organ class, high level term, and preferred term. Additional 
tables will summarize TEAEs by intensity and relationship to study drug, TEAEs leading to 
withdrawal from the study, treatment-emergent SAEs, and deaths.
TEAEs will be defined as events that have a start date on or following the first administration of 
study treatment through the final administration of study treatment +140 days (covering the 
20-week SFU period). To allow for a fair comparison across all subjects, exposure at risk for 
defining treatment-emergence during the 12-week treatment period will be cut off at the Week 
12 visit (for subjects who complete through the Week 12 visit) or at 12 weeks (84 days) after the 
first administration of study treatment (for subjects who discontinue prior to the Week 12 visit). 
Adverse events that emerge following the 12-week treatment period will be summarized 
separately.
Laboratory values, urinary values, ECGs, vital signs, and extent of exposure will be presented 
descriptively by treatment group.
14.4.2
Pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics analyses
Pharmacokinetic variables will be analyzed for all subjects in the PK-PPS. Pharmacodynamic 
variables will be analyzed for all subjects in the PD-PPS. 
Pharmacokinetic and PD analyses will be detailed in a separate DAP and reported in a separate 
document.
An analysis will be performed based on data through Week 8 to confirm the dose selection for 
Phase 3. Details will be described in the DAP and linked with the Operational Plan and SAP.
Bimekizumab plasma concentrations will be summarized for each treatment at each scheduled 
visit.
Anti-bimekizumab antibody data will be summarized for each treatment at each scheduled visit.

IL-17A, IL-17F, IL-6, and IL-23 data will be summarized for each treatment at each scheduled 
visit.
14.5
Handling of protocol deviations
Important protocol deviations are deviations from the protocol which potentially could have a 
meaningful impact on study conduct, or on the primary efficacy, key safety, or PK/PD outcomes 
for an individual subject. The criteria for identifying important protocol deviations will be 
defined within the appropriate protocol-specific document. Important protocol deviations will be 
reviewed as part of the ongoing data cleaning process and all important deviations will be 
identified and documented prior to unblinding to confirm exclusion from analysis sets.
14.6
Handling of dropouts or missing data
For the primary efficacy analysis based on evaluating dose response, missing data will be 
imputed using NRI. That is, subjects with missing data at Week 12 or who discontinue double-
blind study treatment prior to Week 12 will be counted as non-responders for the analysis. Two 
sensitivity analyses will be performed for the primary analysis:
1. An analysis will be performed in which all available data at Week 12 will be considered. 
This analysis will be based on the logistic regression model to evaluate dose-response as 
specified in the primary analysis. However, in this case, subjects will be analyzed according 
to their randomized treatment, even if they discontinued prior to Week 12 and were no longer 
on the randomized study treatment when the assessment was performed at Week 12. Even 
though efforts will be made to collect the primary outcome data for all subjects at Week 12, 
there may still be some subjects for whom Week 12 efficacy data cannot be obtained. In this 
case, the subjects will be assumed to be non-responders. The estimand here is the difference 
in outcome improvement at the planned endpoint for all randomized participants 
(Mallinckrodt, 2012). This is an estimand of effectiveness to evaluate the de facto hypothesis. 
It should be noted that this measures something different from the primary analysis and could 
be confounded by placebo subjects who withdraw and are subsequently on another active 
medication at the time of the Week 12 assessment. Therefore, the results of this analysis 
should be interpreted in the appropriate context.
2. An additional sensitivity analysis will be based on observed data only for subjects who are 
still on the initially randomized treatment at Week 12. Subjects with missing data or who 
have prematurely discontinued study treatment will be treated as missing. The same 
procedure described for the primary efficacy analysis of dose response will be used.
Sensitivity analyses will also be performed for the pairwise comparisons of bimekizumab doses 
versus placebo based on PASI90 at Week 12. The following sensitivity analysis will be 
conducted:
1. Missing data will be addressed by using multiple imputation (MI) based on the Markov-
Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method for intermittent missing data, followed by monotone 
regression for monotone missing data. The actual PASI scores will be imputed and then 
dichotomized to obtain the PASI90 response status. The multiply imputed data sets will be 
analyzed using a logistic regression model with factors of treatment group, prior biologic 
exposure (yes/no), and region. Finally, SAS PROC MIANALYZE will be used to combine 
the results into a single inference. This procedure assumes a missing at random (MAR)

pattern of missingness and corresponds to an estimand of what has been called the difference 
in outcome improvement if all subjects tolerated or adhered to treatment (Mallinckrodt, 
2012). This is an estimand of efficacy to evaluate the de jure hypothesis.
2. The logistic regression model will be applied where all available data at Week 12 will be 
considered, as described in sensitivity analysis #1 for the primary dose-response efficacy 
analysis.
3. The logistic regression model will be applied where only observed data for subjects still on 
the initially randomized treatment at Week 12 will be considered, as described in sensitivity 
analysis #2 for the primary dose-response efficacy analysis.
For the dose/exposure response model, missing data will not be imputed. If a subject drops out, 
this will be used as a covariate in the model.
Other categorical efficacy variables will be imputed using NRI.
Other continuous efficacy variables will be imputed using LOCF where the last observed value 
of a variable is used to impute the missing data.
14.7
Planned interim analysis and data monitoring
After all enrolled subjects have completed 8 weeks of treatment, an interim analysis will be 
performed to analyze the dose-exposure response for PASI, including the PASI90 response, in 
each dose group to determine the optimal therapeutic dose(s) for subsequent studies. Decisions 
related to the conduct of the PS0010 study will not be impacted by these analyses as they will be 
conducted by individuals that are not part of the clinical study team, and they will not be shared 
with any clinical study team members until after the lock of Week 12 data, at which point the 
study will be unblinded. Further details related to this interim analysis will be outlined in a 
separate DAP.
14.8
Determination of sample size
A total of 240 subjects (40 in each treatment group) are planned to be randomized in this study. 
The primary efficacy analysis will be based on the FAS. While some randomized subjects may 
not be in the FAS, it is expected that this number will not impact the following calculations.
The sample size is calculated based on published PASI90 response data from the secukinumab 
psoriasis program (ERASURE and FIXTURE studies) and from a Phase 2 bimekizumab study in 
subjects with psoriatic arthritis (PA0007). As an IL-17A inhibitor, the secukinumab data are 
important in the estimation of the response of bimekizumab, an IL-17A/F inhibitor. In the 
ERASURE and FIXTURE studies, PASI90 responses at Week 12 were reported to be 59.2% and 
54.2% for the 300mg treatment group and 39.1% and 41.9% for the 150mg treatment group 
versus 1.2% and 1.5% in the placebo group, respectively (Langley et al, 2014). Limited data 
from a subset of subjects with psoriasis BSA >3% in the PA0007 study indicate a PASI90 
response of 86.7% after 8 weeks of treatment for the combined top 3 doses versus no response in 
the placebo group.  
For the sample size calculation, responder rates of 60%, 50%, and 2% at the end of a 12-week 
Treatment Period for bimekizumab 480mg Q4W, bimekizumab 320mg Q4W, and placebo have 
been assumed, respectively. These assumptions are similar to the results observed in the 
ERASURE and FIXTURE studies and conservative relative to the PA0007 study in order to

account for uncertainty in the estimates. The PASI90 responder rates for the 160mg Q4W, and 
64mg Q4W doses are assumed to decrease, using estimates of 40% and 20%, respectively. Note 
that the bimekizumab 320mg loading dose followed by bimekizumab 160mg Q4W has been left 
out of this sample size calculation as it will not be included in the test for dose response, but will 
rather be compared separately to the bimekizumab 160mg Q4W dose.
The sample size for the primary objective of evaluating the dose response relationship was 
calculated using a 2-sided test for detecting a linear trend across proportions (Nam, 1987) at a 
significance level of 0.05. With 40 subjects in each treatment group, the test for detecting the 
overall dose response based on PASI90 response is powered at >99%.
The sample size calculations were performed using the software nQuery Advisor® 7.0.

ETHICS AND REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS
15.1
Informed consent
Subject’s informed consent must be obtained and documented in accordance with local 
regulations, ICH-GCP requirements, and the ethical principles that have their origin in the 
principles of the Declaration of Helsinki.
A separate Informed Consent Form will be required for subjects participating in the substudy for 
genomics, genetics, and proteomics blood sampling.
Prior to obtaining informed consent, information should be given in a language and at a level of 
complexity understandable to the subject in both oral and written form by the Investigator (or 
designee). Each subject will have the opportunity to discuss the study and its alternatives with 
the Investigator.
Prior to participation in the study, the written Informed Consent Form should be signed and 
personally dated by the subject and by the person who conducted the informed consent 
discussion (Investigator or designee). The subject must receive a copy of the signed and dated 
Informed Consent Form. As part of the consent process, each subject must consent to direct 
access to his/her medical records for study-related monitoring, auditing, IRB/IEC review, and 
regulatory inspection.
If the Informed Consent Form is amended during the study, the Investigator (or the Sponsor, if 
applicable) must follow all applicable regulatory requirements pertaining to the approval of the 
amended Informed Consent Form by the IRB/IEC and use of the amended form.
All studies conducted at centers in the United States must include the use of a Health Insurance 
Portability and Accountability Act Authorization form.
The subject may withdraw his/her consent to participate in the study at any time. A subject is 
considered as enrolled in the study when he/she has signed the Informed Consent Form. An
eCRF must not be started, nor may any study specific procedure be performed for a given 
subject, without having obtained his/her written consent to participate in the study.
15.2
Subject identification cards
Upon signing the Informed Consent, the subject will be provided with a subject identification 
card in the language of the subject. The Investigator will fill in the subject identifying

subject to keep the card with him/her at all times.
15.3
Institutional Review Boards and Independent Ethics 
Committees
The study will be conducted under the auspices of an IRB/IEC, as defined in local regulations, 
ICH-GCP, and in accordance with the ethical principles that have their origin in the Declaration 
of Helsinki.
The Investigator/UCB will ensure that an appropriately constituted IRB/IEC that complies with 
the requirements of the current ICH-GCP version or applicable country-specific regulations will 
be responsible for the initial and continuing review and approval of the clinical study. Prior to 
initiation of the study, the Investigator/UCB will forward copies of the protocol, Informed 
Consent Form, IB, Investigator’s curriculum vitae (if applicable), advertisement (if applicable), 
and all other subject-related documents to be used for the study to the IRB/IEC for its review and 
approval.
Before initiating a study, the Investigator will have written and dated full approval from the 
responsible IRB/IEC for the protocol.
The Investigator will also promptly report to the IRB/IEC all changes in the study, all 
unanticipated problems involving risks to human subjects or others, and any protocol deviations, 
to eliminate immediate hazards to subjects.
The Investigator will not make any changes in the study or study conduct without IRB/IEC 
approval, except where necessary to eliminate apparent immediate hazards to the subjects. For 
minor changes to a previously approved protocol during the period covered by the original 
approval, it may be possible for the Investigator to obtain an expedited review by the IRB/IEC as 
allowed.
As part of the IRB/IEC requirements for continuing review of approved studies, the Investigator
will be responsible for submitting periodic progress reports to the IRB/IEC (based on IRB/IEC 
requirements), at intervals appropriate to the degree of subject risk involved, but no less than 
once per year. The Investigator should provide a final report to the IRB/IEC following study 
completion.
UCB (or its representative) will communicate safety information to the appropriate regulatory 
authorities and all active Investigators in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements. 
The appropriate IRB/IEC will also be informed by the Investigator or the Sponsor, as specified 
by the applicable regulatory requirements in each concerned country. Where applicable, 
Investigators are to provide the Sponsor (or its representative) with evidence of such IRB/IEC 
notification.
15.4
Subject privacy
UCB staff (or designee) will affirm and uphold the subject’s confidentiality. Throughout this 
study, all data forwarded to UCB (or designee) will be identified only by the subject number 
assigned at Screening.
The Investigator agrees that representatives of UCB, its designee, representatives of the relevant 
IRB/IEC, or representatives of regulatory authorities will be allowed to review that portion of the

Section 2.1.2 Current treatments for psoriasis
Therapy for patients with psoriasis varies according to the severity of disease. Limited or mild 
disease is often treated with topical therapies such as corticosteroids and vitamin D analogs. 
Patients with more severe disease are often treated with photochemotherapy, methotrexate, the 
oral phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) inhibitor (apremilast), or biologic agents, such as tumor 
necrosis factor (TNF) antagonists, interleukin (IL) 12/23 inhibitors, and IL-17A inhibitors. The 
effectiveness of TNF inhibitors in the treatment of psoriasis has been demonstrated in many 
Phase 3 clinical studies and has led to the approval of multiple TNF inhibitors for use in patients 
with moderate to severe psoriasis. Interleukin inhibitors include secukinumab, an IL-17A 
inhibitor approved for treatment of moderate to severe psoriasis; and ixekizumab, an IL-17A 
inhibitor currently under regulatory review. Ustekinumab is an IL-12/23 antagonist approved for 
use in patients with moderate to severe psoriasis, and brodalumab, an IL-17 receptor antagonist, 
has completed pivotal Phase 3 studies in psoriasis. Standard therapies for psoriasis are listed 
below:

20. Subject has >2x upper limit of normal (ULN) of any of the following: alanine 
aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), *alkaline phosphatase (ALP), or 
>ULN total bilirubin (≥1.5xULN total bilirubin if known Gilbert’s syndrome). If subject has 
elevations only in total bilirubin that are >ULN and <1.5xULN, fractionate bilirubin to 
identify possible undiagnosed Gilbert’s syndrome (ie, direct bilirubin <35%).
*An isolated elevation between 2x ULN and <3x ULN of ALP is acceptable in the absence 
of an identified exclusionary medical condition.
Tests that result in ALT, AST, or ALP up to 25% above the exclusion limit may be repeated 
once for confirmation during the Screening Period. Upon retesting, subjects whose ALT, 
AST, or ALP remain above the thresholds defined above, should not be randomized. 
For randomized subjects with a baseline result >ULN for ALT, AST, ALP, or total bilirubin, 
a baseline diagnosis and/or the cause of any clinically meaningful elevation must be 
understood and recorded in the Case Report form (CRF).
If subject has >ULN ALT, AST, or ALP that does not meet the exclusion limit at screening, 
repeat the tests, if possible, prior to dosing to ensure there is no further ongoing clinically 
relevant increase. In case of a clinically relevant increase, inclusion of the subject must be 
discussed with the Medical Monitor.

Protocol Amendment 2
Rationale for the amendment
The purpose of this amendment is the following:
!
To revise the references to PS0011 as an “open-label extension study.” Because of 
changes to the study design of PS0011, the PS0011 study is no longer planned to be an 
“open-label” study. 
!
Clarify that the SFU Visit will not be conducted in PS0010 for subjects who enroll in the 
extension study.
!
Clarify and correct text regarding the analyses of safety.
Modifications and changes
Global changes
The reference to PS0011 as an “open-label extension study” was changed throughout the
document. “Open-label” was deleted and, instead, the PS0011 study is being referred to as an 
“extension study.”
Specific changes
