Ixekizumab (LY2439821) (Anti–IL-17 Humanized Antibody) in 
Chinese Patients with Psoriasis Vulgaris
5. Introduction
5.1.
General Introduction
Psoriasis is a common, lifelong, and life-shortening chronic inflammatory skin disease 
manifested by prototypic red, thick, and scaly plaques.  Psoriasis vulgaris or plaque psoriasis 
(hereafter psoriasis) is the most common form and has been shown to have a significant impact 
on the overall health of patients, including an association with inflammatory arthritis in the form 
of psoriatic arthritis.  Psoriasis is associated with increased risk for multiple comorbid 
conditions, including myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke, metabolic syndrome, diabetes 
mellitus, chronic renal insufficiency, and liver abnormalities (Yeung et al. 2013).  
The worldwide prevalence of psoriasis is 2% to 3% (Christophers 2001; International Federation 
of Psoriasis Associations [IFPA] 2014 [WWW]), with rates varying across ethnic groups and 
geographic regions (Chandran and Raychaudhuri 2010; Parisi et al. 2013). A recent population-
based and dermatologist-confirmed study showed that the prevalence of psoriasis in China is 
0.47%, higher than the incidence of 0.12% observed in a 1987 study, which may mean it is 
increasing (Ding et al. 2012). 
Ixekizumab (LY2439821) was approved in March 2016 for the treatment of moderate-to-severe 
psoriasis in adults by the United States Food and Drug Administration (US-FDA).  Ixekizumab 
(LY2439821) is a humanized immunoglobulin G subclass 4 (IgG4) monoclonal antibody (MAb)
designed and engineered to selectively inhibit interleukin-17A (IL-17A). Psoriasis is an IL-17A-
driven disease (Clark 2015).  Ixekizumab binds with high affinity (≤3 pM) and specificity to 
IL-17A, a proinflammatory cytokine.  Neutralization of IL-17A by ixekizumab has been shown 
to reduce excess keratinocyte proliferation and activation (Krueger et al. 2012).  Ixekizumab 
does not bind to ligands IL-17B, IL-17C, IL-17D, IL-17E, or IL-17F. 
The global clinical development program for ixekizumab for treatment of psoriasis included one 
Phase 1 study I1F-MC-RHAG [RHAG]; one Phase 2 study I1F-MC-RHAJ [RHAJ]; and three 
pivotal Phase 3 studies (I1F-MC-RHAZ [RHAZ], I1F-MC-RHBA [RHBA], and I1F-MC-RHBC 
[RHBC]).  A Phase 3, randomized, open-label, pharmacokinetics (PK) study (I1F-MC-RHBL; 
[RHBL]) compared the PK of ixekizumab administered via prefilled syringe and auto-injector
device.  Additionally, for the purposes of registration in Japan, in addition to participation in the 
global Phase 3 trial RHAZ, one Phase 3 open-label study (1IF-JE-RHAT; [RHAT]) determined 
the efficacy and safety of ixekizumab in Japanese patients diagnosed with plaque psoriasis or the 
more severe psoriasis subtype of erythrodermic and pustular psoriasis.  Additional details on 
each of these studies are located in the Investigator’s Brochure (IB).

I1F-MC-RHBN(c) Protocol

LY2439821
Results of a population PK analysis of data in patients with psoriasis from global studies show 
that ixekizumab exhibits linear PK over a dose range of 5 to 160 mg.  The mean elimination half-
life of ixekizumab after subcutaneous (SC) administration was approximately 13 days, and the 
time of maximum observed serum drug concentration (Cmax) occurred at approximately 4 to 
7 days.  These values are typical for MAbs in humans. Based on PK, efficacy, and safety 
evaluations, no dose adjustment of ixekizumab is recommended based on body weight, age, sex, 
and ethnic origin.
From global clinical trials, individual treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) (preferred 
terms) that were reported at a significantly greater frequency in the total ixekizumab group than 
in the placebo group were injection site reaction, injection site erythema, nausea, and 
oropharyngeal pain.  Most TEAEs were mild or moderate in severity.  Overall, severe TEAEs 
were similar across the ixekizumab treatment groups compared with those of the placebo group.  
For the percentage of patients with at least 1 serious adverse event (SAE), there were no 
significant differences between the ixekizumab treatment groups and the placebo group.  
Approximately 2% of ixekizumab-treated patients discontinued because of adverse events (AEs), 
whereas approximately 1% of placebo-treated patients discontinued because of AEs.
More information about the known and expected benefits, risks, and reasonably anticipated AEs
may be found in the IB.  Information on AEs expected to be related to the investigational product
may be found in Section 7 (Development Core Safety Information) of the IB.  Information on 
SAEs expected in the study population independent of drug exposure and that will be assessed 
by the sponsor in aggregate periodically during the course of the study may be found in Section 6 
(Effects in Humans) of the IB.
The proposed study, Study I1F-MC-RHBN (RHBN), is a Phase 1, multicenter, single- and 
multiple-dose, open-label study in Chinese patients with moderate to severe psoriasis.  This 
study will assess the PK and safety of ixekizumab for the future development of ixekizumab in 
China.  The sponsor, monitor, and investigators will perform this study in compliance with the 
protocol, good clinical practice (GCP), International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) 
guidelines, and applicable regulatory requirements.
5.2.
Rationale and Justification for the Study
The purpose of this study is to assess the PK and safety of ixekizumab in Chinese patients with 
moderate to severe psoriasis to enable the future development of ixekizumab in China. The PK
of ixekizumab in Chinese patients will be compared to the PK observed in non-Chinese patients 
from global studies.

Study RHBN is a Phase 1, multicenter, open-label, single- and multiple-dose outpatient study in 
up to 45 patients with psoriasis.  This study will assess the safety, tolerability, and PK profile of 
ixekizumab 80 mg SC in Chinese patients since 80 mg SC is the maintenance dose used in 
Phase 3 global studies and is the planned dose for Phase 3 studies in China.  Ixekizumab was
evaluated as a 160 mg SC starting dose and as an 80 mg SC maintenance dose every 2 weeks 
(Q2W) or every 4 weeks (Q4W) in global Phase 3 studies for the treatment of psoriasis;
therefore, these dose regimens will be used for the multiple-dose phase in Study RHBN.  
For the single-dose phase, patients will receive a single dose of ixekizumab 80 mg SC on Day 1 
and will be assessed at regular visits for 20 weeks.  Patients completing the single-dose phase
have the option of enrolling in the multiple-dose phase after completing the final visit in the 
single-dose phase.  Patients will remain at the site for a minimum of 4 hours postdose.  
The multiple-dose phase can be initiated once 6 patients have completed the Week 6 (Day 43) 
visit in the single-dose phase and safety data collected through 6 weeks postdosing from these
patients have been reviewed.  After review of these safety data, an agreement on initiation of the 
multiple-dose phase will be made by the investigator and sponsor.
In the multiple-dose phase, patients will be administered a starting dose of ixekizumab 160 mg 
SC on Day 1 and will then be randomized into 1 of 2 dosing regimens for the 8-week treatment 
period:  (1) 80 mg SC Q2W or (2) 80 mg SC Q4W.  Patients will be assessed at regular visits for 
an additional 20 weeks. Patients will remain at the site for a minimum of 4 hours after the first 
dose and for 2 hours after subsequent doses.
Figure RHBN.1 and Figure RHBN.2 illustrate the study design for the single-dose phase and 
multiple-dose phase, respectively. The rationale for dose selection is described in Section 9.3.  
The Study Schedules (Attachment 1 and Attachment 2) detail the procedures and tests occurring 
at specific times throughout the study.  
7.2.
Discussion of Design and Control
The primary endpoint is the evaluation of PK of ixekizumab in Chinese patients with moderate 
to severe psoriasis; therefore, an open-label study design is considered appropriate.  The 
psoriasis population for this study will be patients with a minimum body surface area (BSA) 
involvement of 10%, a total PASI score of at least 12, and an sPGA score of 3, representative 
of the population likely to receive a biologic therapy. Additional patients may be added to a 
group if several patients discontinue treatment for reasons other than AEs possibly related to 
study drug. Safety and outcome measures during the follow-up period will allow detection and 
assessment of delayed effects, if any, that could result from treatment with ixekizumab.

8. Study Population
8.1.
Criteria for Enrollment
Eligibility of patients for study enrollment will be based on the results of a screening medical 
history, physical examination, vital signs, clinical laboratory tests, and electrocardiogram (ECG).  
The nature of any conditions present at the time of the physical examination and any preexisting 
conditions will be documented.
Screening may occur from 28 days up to 3 days prior to enrollment.  Patients who are not 
enrolled within 28 days of screening may be subjected to an additional medical assessment 
and/or clinical measurements to confirm their eligibility.
Individuals who do not meet the criteria for participation in this study (screen failure) may be 
rescreened.  Individuals may be rescreened once.  The interval between rescreening should be at 
least 2 weeks.  If rescreening is performed, the individual must sign a new informed consent 
form (ICF) and will be assigned a new identification number.
Prospective approval of protocol deviations to recruitment and enrollment criteria, also known as 
protocol waivers or exemptions, are not permitted.

LY2439821
[29] have a herpes zoster or any other clinically apparent varicella-zoster virus 
infection or had such within 12 weeks of baseline (Week 0; Visit 2).
[30] have any other active or recent infection within 4 weeks of baseline (Week 0; 
Visit 2) that, in the opinion of the investigator, would pose an unacceptable 
risk to the patient if participating in the study; these patients may be 
rescreened (1 time) 4 weeks after documented resolution of symptoms.
[31] have a body temperature 38C (100.5F) at baseline (Week 0; Visit 2); these 
patients may be rescreened (1 time) 4 weeks after documented resolution of 
elevated temperature.
[32] have clinical evidence or suspicion of active TB or have previously had 
evidence of active TB and did not receive appropriate and documented 
treatment.  (Refer to Section 10.4.3.5 for additional details on determining full 
TB exclusion criteria.)
a
Evidence of active TB is documented by a positive purified protein 
derivative (PPD) test (≥5-mm induration) which is to be read between 
48 and 72 hours after placement, regardless of vaccination history, 
medical history, clinical symptoms, and abnormal chest x-ray at 
screening.
b
If either the QuantiFERON®-TB Gold test (QTF) or T-SPOT® TB test 
(T-SPOT) is available, it may be used as an alternative instead of the 
PPD test, per principal investigator preference or judgment, and may 
be read locally.  Locally read results must be documented in the eCRF.
have evidence of latent TB (as documented by a positive QTF or T-SPOT or 
PPD [≥5-mm induration] with no clinical symptoms or signs consistent with 
active TB, and a normal chest x-ray at screening) unless patients complete at 
least 4 weeks of appropriate treatment prior to randomization and agree to 
complete the remainder of treatment while in the trial (see Section 10.4.3.5 for 
additional requirements).
a
If the QTF or T-SPOT test is indeterminate, the test may be repeated 
once within approximately 2 weeks of the initial value.  If the repeat 
test is indeterminate, the patient will be excluded from the study.  If 
the retest is positive with no clinical evidence of TB, the patient will 
be considered to have latent TB. 
b
If the PPD test is performed and positive (≥5-mm induration) and the 
patient has no medical history or chest x-ray findings consistent with 
active TB, a retest can be performed using a QTF or T-SPOT test. 
Note:  If retest is done with QTF or T-SPOT, this result will be used to 
determine eligibility in place of the PPD result.  Indeterminate results 
of either test are to be handled as directed above.
c
Exceptions include patients with a history of active or latent TB who 
have documented evidence of appropriate treatment.

I1F-MC-RHBN(c) Protocol

LY2439821
[33] have uncontrolled arterial hypertension characterized by a systolic blood 
pressure (BP) >160 mm Hg or diastolic BP >100 mm Hg.
(Note:  This will be determined by 2 consecutive elevated readings.  If an 
initial BP reading exceeds this limit, the BP may be repeated once after the 
patient has rested sitting for 10 minutes.  If the repeat value is less than the 
criterion limits, the second value may be accepted.)
[34] are positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) serology (positive for 
HIV antibody).
[35] have evidence of active hepatitis B virus (positive for hepatitis B surface 
antigen) OR are positive for hepatitis B core antibody and negative for 
hepatitis B surface antibody.
[36] have evidence of or test positive for hepatitis C virus (HCV).  A positive test 
for HCV is defined as:  (1) positive for hepatitis C antibody and (2) positive 
via a confirmatory test for HCV (for example, HCV polymerase chain 
reaction).
[37] have clinical laboratory test results at screening that are outside the normal 
reference range for the population and are considered clinically significant 
and/or have any of the following specific abnormalities:  
[37a]
neutrophil count <1500 cells/L (<1.50×103 cells/μL or <1.50 GI/L)
[37b]
lymphocyte count <500 cells/L (<0.50×103 cells/μL or <0.50 GI/L)
[37c]
platelet count <100,000 cells/L (<100×103 cells/μL or <100 GI/L)
[37d]
aspartate aminotransferase (AST) or alanine aminotransferase (ALT) 
>2.5 times the upper limit of normal (>2.5xULN)  
[37e]
total white blood cell (WBC) count <3000 cells/L 
(<3.00×103 cells/μL or <3.00 GI/L)
[37f]
hemoglobin <8.5 g/dL (85.0 g/L) for male patients and <8.0 g/dL 
(80 g/L) for female patients  
[37g]
serum creatinine >2.0 mg/dL.
(Note:  The AST and ALT may be repeated once within a week if the initial 
response exceeds this limit, and the repeat value may be accepted if it meets 
this criterion.  Other laboratory tests should not be repeated unless there is a 
technical error or clinical reasons to believe a result may be erroneous.)
[38] have ECG abnormalities that are considered clinically significant and would 
pose an unacceptable risk to the patient if participating in the study.
[39] have any other condition that precludes the patient from following and 
completing the protocol, in the opinion of the investigator.

[42] are unwilling to abstain from alcohol beverage intake 24 hours prior to any 
scheduled visits until the completion of all study visit procedures.
[43] have used any traditional Chinese treatments within 14 days prior to study 
enrollment or intend to use any traditional Chinese treatment during the study.
[44] Have allergy to rubber or latex.
8.1.3. Rationale for Exclusion of Certain Study Candidates
Exclusion Criteria [8] and [9] reduce the potential bias that may be introduced at the study site.  
Exclusion Criteria [14] through [18] exclude patients who are taking concomitant medications or 
receiving treatment or phototherapy that could have a negative safety impact on the patients 
enrolled or confound the results of the study.  Exclusion Criteria [19] through [38] exclude 
patients who would be at a greater safety risk, including patients at increased risk of infective 
complications or immunosuppression, if administered investigational product or whose data 
could confound the results of the study in the analysis of ixekizumab and/or patients.  Exclusion 
Criterion [41] provides protection to offspring.  
8.2.
Discontinuation
The reason for and date of discontinuation will be collected for all patients.  All patients who 
discontinue, regardless of whether or not they received investigational product, will have 
procedures performed as shown in the Study Schedule (Attachment 1).
8.2.1. Discontinuation of Patients
8.2.1.1.
Patients Inadvertently Enrolled
The criteria for enrollment must be followed explicitly.  If the investigator site identifies a patient
who did not meet enrollment criteria and who was inadvertently enrolled, the sponsor must be 
notified.  If the sponsor identifies a patient who did not meet enrollment criteria and who was 
inadvertently enrolled, the investigator site will be notified.  A discussion must occur between 
the Lilly clinical pharmacologist or clinical research physician (CRP) and the investigator to 
determine whether the patient may continue in the study, with or without investigational product.  
Inadvertently enrolled patients may be maintained in the study and on investigational product 
when the investigator and Lilly clinical pharmacologist or CRP agree it is medically appropriate 
for that patient. 
The patient may not continue in the study with or without investigational product if the Lilly 
clinical pharmacologist or CRP does not agree with the investigator’s determination that it is 
medically appropriate for the subject to continue.  The investigator must obtain documented 
approval from the Lilly clinical pharmacologist or CRP to allow the inadvertently enrolled 
patient to continue in the study with or without investigational product.

8.2.1.2.
Discontinuations from Investigational Product or from the Study
In addition, patients will be discontinued from the investigational product or from the study in
the following circumstances:

Enrollment in any other clinical trial involving an investigational product or enrollment in 
any other type of medical research judged not to be scientifically or medically compatible 
with this study.

Investigator decision:
o
The investigator decides that the patient should be discontinued from the study.
o
If the patient, for any reason, requires treatment with another therapeutic agent 
that has been demonstrated to be effective for treatment of the study indication, 
discontinuation from the study occurs prior to introduction of the other agent.

Subject decision:
o
The patient requests to be discontinued from the study.

Sponsor decision:
o
Lilly stops the study or stops the patient’s participation in the study for medical, 
safety, regulatory, or other reasons consistent with applicable laws, regulations, 
and GCP.

AE:
o
If a clinically significant event (CSE) occurs, the investigational product is to be 
discontinued and appropriate measures taken.  Lilly or its designee should be 
alerted immediately.  A CSE will be defined as a moderate to severe AE, 
abnormal clinical sign, or clinical laboratory finding that may pose a risk to the 
well-being of the subject.  Refer to Section 10.4, Safety Evaluations.
o
A clinically significant systemic hypersensitivity reaction occurs following 
administration of the investigational product (for example, drug-related 
symptomatic bronchospasm, allergy-related edema/angioedema, or hypotension) 
and requires parenteral medication, does not respond to symptomatic medication, 
or results in clinical sequelae or an anaphylactic reaction.
After the investigator’s determination that CSE criteria have been met and the investigator’s 
judgment of relatedness to the investigational product is documented, a decision will be made 
between the investigator and Lilly or its designee regarding subject discontinuation.
The nature of any conditions, clinical signs or symptoms, or abnormal laboratory values present 
at the time of discontinuation and any applicable follow-up procedures will be documented.  
Discontinuation procedures are outlined in the Study Schedules (Attachment 1 and Attachment 
2).

8.2.2. Discontinuation of Study Sites
Study site participation may be discontinued if Lilly, the investigator, or the ERB of the study 
site judges it necessary for any reason consistent with applicable laws, regulations, and GCP.
8.2.3. Discontinuation of the Study
The study will be discontinued if Lilly judges it necessary for medical, safety, regulatory, or 
other reasons consistent with applicable laws, regulations, and GCP.

9. Treatment
9.1.
Treatment Materials and Supplies
All patients will be administered ixekizumab via prefilled syringe.
9.1.1. Packaging, Preparation, Labeling, and Storage
The ixekizumab solution for injection will be supplied by the sponsor or its designee in 
accordance with current Good Manufacturing Practices.  Ixekizumab will be supplied as an 
injectable solution in a 1-mL, single-dose, disposable manual syringe.  Each syringe of 
ixekizumab is designed to deliver 80 mg of ixekizumab.  Syringes will be supplied in cartons, 
with the appropriate quantity of syringes specific to the planned dispensing schedule of the 
investigational product.  
Clinical trial materials will be labeled according to China’s regulatory requirements.  All 
investigational products will be supplied with lot numbers, expiry dates, and certificates of 
analysis and will be stored, inventoried, reconciled, and destroyed according to applicable 
regulations.  
The investigational product should be stored at 2C to 8C (36F to 46F) in its original carton to 
protect from light.  Investigational product should not be frozen or shaken.  Sites will be required 
to monitor temperature of the on-site storage conditions of the syringes.
9.2.
Treatment Administration
This study involves an evaluation of ixekizumab 80 mg administered by prefilled syringe during 
the treatment period.  For the single-dose phase, all patients will receive a single dose of 80 mg 
given as one 80 mg SC injection at Week 0 (Visit 2) and will then be observed for a 20-week
period.  For the multiple-dose phase, all patients will receive a 160 mg SC starting dose 
(2 injections) and will then be randomized at a 1:1 ratio to 1 of 2 dose groups via a computer-
generated random sequence using an interactive web-response system (IWRS):  one group will 
receive 80 mg SC Q2W starting on Day 15, and the other group will receive 80 mg SC Q4W 
starting on Day 29 for the duration of the 8-week treatment period.  All patients in the multiple-
dose phase will be followed for an additional 20-week observation period after the treatment 
period completes.  
Injections will be administered at the site by the clinical staff.  
Administration:  A dose of investigational product will consist of SC injection(s) of 
investigational product.  Possible injection sites include the abdomen, thigh, and upper arm.  The 
injection site should not be in a psoriatic lesion and should be rotated to another area for 
subsequent doses.  
Allow the prefilled syringe containing the drug product to equilibrate to room temperature for 
approximately 30 minutes.  Do not return syringe to the refrigerator.  
The investigator or designee is responsible for:

I1F-MC-RHBN(c) Protocol
Page 28
LY2439821

explaining the correct use of the investigational agent to the site personnel,

verifying that instructions are followed properly,

maintaining accurate records of investigational product dispensing and collection,

and returning all unused medication to Lilly or its designee at the end of the study.
Note: In some cases, sites may destroy the material if, during the investigator site selection, the 
evaluator has verified and documented that the site has appropriate facilities and written 
procedures to dispose clinical trial materials.  
Patients will be instructed to contact the investigator as soon as possible if he or she has a 
complaint or problem with the investigational product so that the situation can be assessed.  See 
Section 10.4.5 for more details.
All clinical trial material provided to the investigator will be stored in a secure place and 
allocated and dispensed by appropriately trained persons.  The allocation and dispensing of the 
investigational products will be fully documented and verified by a second person.  Detailed 
records of the amounts of investigational product received, dispensed, and remaining at the end 
of the study will be maintained.
The doses will be administered at approximately the same times on each planned dosing day, and 
each patient should have doses administered by the same member of the staff as far as possible.
The actual time of all dose administrations will be recorded in the subject’s case report form 
(CRF).
9.3.
Rationale for Selection of Dose
Ixekizumab has been administered to patients with rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and 
psoriasis.  A 160 mg SC starting dose (Week 0) followed by an 80 mg SC dose Q2W or Q4W 
was evaluated as an induction dosing regimen over 12 weeks of treatment in global pivotal Phase 
3 studies in patients with psoriasis (Studies RHAZ, RHBA, and RHBC). In this study, the PK 
profile and safety/tolerability of ixekizumab 80 mg will be assessed initially in the single-dose 
phase.  Thereafter, the induction dosing regimens evaluated in the pivotal Phase 3 studies will be 
evaluated in the multiple-dose phase for this Phase 1 study in China.  The doses planned for this 
study are justified by adequate margins of safety from toxicology studies in cynomolgus 
monkeys (Table RHBN.1) and the safety and tolerability data from single- and multiple-dose 
studies in patients with psoriasis.

Specific Restrictions/Requirements
Prior to beginning the study, the patients will complete informed consent and baseline tests.  
Patients will be screened for eligibility in the study as described in Sections 8.1 and 8.2 and will 
be informed of the study-specific restrictions and requirements of the study.  Patients who are not 
willing to comply with the study restrictions and requirements will not be eligible to be enrolled.  
Patients will reside in the clinical research unit during the infusion visits until completion of all 
procedures associated with that visit.  Patients will adhere to the following study restrictions 
and/or requirements:  

It is unlikely that there are significant reproductive risks, including risks of harm to the 
fetus or infant, with ixekizumab treatment.  This is based on results from reproductive 
and developmental toxicity studies in monkeys. However, male patients should use 
barrier method contraception during intercourse with female partners of childbearing 
potential during the study and for at least 3 months after the last dose of ixekizumab, 
whichever is longer. Female patients must use a reliable method of birth control or 
remain abstinent during the study and for at least 3 months after the last dose of 
ixekizumab, whichever is longer (additional details are provided in the Inclusion Criteria 
[Section 8.1.1]).

Patients must abstain from alcoholic beverages intake for 24 hours prior to any scheduled 
visit and until completion of the study procedures associated with that visit.  

Patients must refrain from smoking for 30 minutes prior to any study procedure and until 
completion of that procedure.

9.4.1. Special Treatment Considerations
Patients should be instructed not to donate blood or blood products during participation in the 
study.  All biological agents carry the risk of systemic allergic/hypersensitivity reactions.  
Clinical manifestations of these reactions may include but are not limited to:

skin rash

pruritus (itching) 

urticaria (hives) 

angioedema (for example, swelling of the lips and/or tongue) 

anaphylactic reaction.
Sometimes, these reactions can be life threatening.  Proteins may also cause redness, itching, 
swelling, or pain locally at the injection site; therefore, all patients should be closely monitored 
for signs or symptoms that could result from such reactions, educated on the signs or symptoms 
of these types of reactions, and instructed to contact the study site immediately if any of the 
symptoms are experienced following an injection.  If a patient experiences an acute 
allergic/hypersensitivity reaction after an injection of investigational product, he or she should be 
managed appropriately and given instruction to receive relevant supportive care.  Additionally, 
for an event judged by the investigator to be a potential systemic allergic/hypersensitivity 
reaction, a blood sample should be drawn to test for antidrug antibodies.  
For patients who experience a potential allergic or hypersensitivity reaction, consideration for 
any premedication for future injections will be agreed upon between the investigator and the 
sponsor and/or its designee.  Examples of potential allergic or hypersensitivity reactions that 
might merit premedication include mild to moderate skin rashes, mild to moderate generalized 
pruritus and/or urticaria, and mild to moderate injection site reactions (for example, injection site 
erythema or injection site pruritus).  Patients who develop clinically significant systemic allergic
or hypersensitivity reactions after administration of investigational product who do not respond 
to symptomatic medication or have clinical sequelae (for example, hospitalization) should be 
discontinued from the study and should not receive further doses of investigational product, with 
or without premedication (see Section 8.2).  Medications considered appropriate for 
premedication include but are not restricted to acetaminophen/paracetamol up to 1000 mg and 
antihistamines (for example, oral diphenhydramine 50 mg), given 30 to 60 minutes prior to 
investigational product injection.  Patients may self-premedicate at home prior to administration 
of investigational product as directed by the investigator.  All such premedications will be 
recorded as concomitant therapy.  Corticosteroids are not permitted as agents for premedication.

9.6.
Concomitant Therapy
Patients will maintain their usual medication regimen for other concomitant diseases throughout 
the study unless that regimen is specifically excluded in the protocol.  Patients taking 
concomitant medications should be on stable doses at the time of baseline and should remain at 
stable doses throughout the study unless changes need to be made for an AE.  Additional 
systemic drugs are to be avoided during the study unless they are required to treat an AE.  Other 
medications may be allowed if approved by the sponsor or its designee.
If the need for concomitant medication arises, inclusion or continuation of the patient may be at 
the discretion of the investigator after consultation with a Lilly clinical pharmacologist or CRP.  
Any additional medication used during the course of the study must be documented.
All concomitant medication taken during the study must be recorded on the concomitant 
medication page of the CRF.  Treatment with concomitant psoriasis therapies during the study is 
permitted only as outlined in the Exclusion Criteria (Section 8.1.2) and as described in the 
following paragraphs.  Patients taking permitted medications should be on chronic stable doses at 
the baseline visit (Week 0; Visit 2) as specified in Section 8.1.2.
The following therapies will not be permitted during the course of the study:  

psoriasis therapy as described in the Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria (Sections 8.1.1 and 
8.1.2), except as described in the following paragraphs for topical agents.

concomitant medications as described in the Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria 
(Sections 8.1.1 and 8.1.2)

live vaccines

phototherapy.
Topical Psoriasis Treatment: Topical psoriasis treatment as indicated below will be permitted 
after completion of Week 4 (Visit 9) and prior to Week 18 (Day 127) during the single-dose 
phase and after completion of the Week 12 visit during the multiple-dose phase.

Topical treatments including, but not limited to corticosteroids, vitamin D analogues, 
tarzarotene, and tacrolimus are permitted. Only steroids of mild potency (for 
example, desonide, fluocinolone acetonide, and alclometasone) or low potency (that 
is, hydrocortisone) are recommended for the face, axilla, and/or genitalia.  These 
topical medications should not be used within approximately 24 hours prior to study 
visits requiring sPGA and PASI measures.

Medicated shampoos and other nonsteroidal topical therapies: Medicated 
shampoos, topical moisturizers/emollients, and other nonprescription topical products 
are permitted. These topical medications should not be used within approximately 
12 hours prior to study visits requiring sPGA and PASI measures.

I1F-MC-RHBN(c) Protocol

Vaccines:  Use of nonlive seasonal vaccinations and/or emergency vaccination (such as rabies or 
tetanus vaccinations) is allowed.
Other Concomitant Therapies:  Acetaminophen or aspirin will also be allowed as needed.
Traditional Chinese Medicine:  Patients must stop any traditional Chinese treatments at least 
14 days prior to study enrollment and must not resume treatment until after last study visit.

Sample Collection and Safety Data Collection
Attachment 1 and Attachment 2 list the schedules for sample collection in this study.
Attachment 3 lists the clinical laboratory tests that will be performed for this study.
Attachment 4 summarizes the blood volumes for all blood sampling during the study.  
10.1. Laboratory Samples
Blood and urine samples will be collected to determine whether patients meet 
inclusion/exclusion criteria and to monitor patient health.  Routine clinical laboratory tests will 
be analyzed by a central laboratory selected by Lilly.  
Investigators must document their review of each laboratory safety report.
Samples collected for specified laboratory tests will be destroyed within 60 days of receipt of 
confirmed test results.  Tests are run and confirmed promptly whenever scientifically 
appropriate.  When scientific circumstances warrant, however, it is acceptable to retain samples 
to batch the tests run or to retain the samples until the end of the study to confirm that the results 
are valid.  Certain samples may be retained for a longer period, if necessary, to comply with 
applicable laws, regulations, or laboratory certification standards.
10.2. Samples for Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamic 
Evaluations
10.2.1. Pharmacokinetic Samples
Samples for the measurement of serum ixekizumab concentrations will be collected from 
patients enrolled in the study at the time points specified in the PK sampling times in the Study 
Schedules (Attachment 1 and Attachment 2).  An intensive sampling scheme is being 
implemented to capture the entire ixekizumab concentration profile after single-dose 
administration and at steady state during a dosing interval.  
Venous blood samples (approximately 4 mL) will be collected into tubes, and serum ixekizumab
concentrations will be determined.  Instructions for collection and handling of blood samples will 
be provided by Lilly or its designee.  The actual date and time (24-hour clock time) of each 
sampling will be recorded.
10.2.2. Bioanalysis
Samples will be analyzed at a laboratory approved by the sponsor and stored at a facility 
designated by the sponsor.
Concentrations of ixekizumab will be assayed using a validated enzyme-linked immunosorbent 
assay.  
Bioanalytical samples collected to measure investigational product concentrations will be 
retained for a maximum of 1 year following last patient visit for the study.  

I1F-MC-RHBN(c) Protocol
Page 34
LY2439821
10.2.3. Pharmacodynamic Clinical Outcome Measures 
The clinical outcome measures, PASI and sPGA, are considered the pharmacodynamic (PD) 
measures in this study.  
The PASI is the most commonly used primary endpoint and measure of psoriasis severity in 
clinical trials (European Medicines Agency [EMA] 2004 WWW; Menter et al. 2008).  The PASI 
combines assessments of the extent of BSA involvement in 4 anatomical regions (head, trunk, 
arms, and legs) and the severity of desquamation, erythema, and plaque induration/infiltration 
(thickness) in each region, yielding an overall score of 0 for no psoriasis to 72 for severe disease 
(Fredriksson and Pettersson 1978).  
The static Physician Global Assessment (sPGA) is the physician’s global assessment of the 
patient’s psoriasis (Ps) lesions evaluated at a given time point (European Medicines Agency 
[EMA] 2004 [WWW]).  Plaques are assessed for induration, erythema, and scaling, and an 
overall rating of psoriasis severity is given using the anchors of clear (0), minimal (1), mild (2), 
moderate (3), severe (4), or very severe (5). 
Data will be collected at the times shown in the Study Schedules (Attachment 1 and Attachment 
2).
10.3. Samples for Immunogenicity Research 
Blood samples for immunogenicity testing will be collected to determine antibody production 
against ixekizumab.  Immunogenicity will be assessed by a validated assay designed to detect 
antidrug antibodies in the presence of ixekizumab.  Antibodies may be further characterized 
and/or evaluated for their ability to neutralize the activity of ixekizumab.  Immunogenicity 
samples may also be analyzed for ixekizumab serum concentration to facilitate in the 
interpretation of the immunogenicity data.
Samples may be stored for a maximum of 15 years following last patient visit for the trial at a 
facility selected by the sponsor to enable further analysis of immune responses to ixekizumab.  
The duration allows the sponsor to respond to regulatory requests related to ixekizumab.
10.4. Safety Evaluations
Investigators are responsible for monitoring the safety of patients who have entered this study 
and for alerting Lilly or its designee to any event that seems unusual, even if this event may be 
considered an unanticipated benefit to the patient.
The investigator is responsible for the appropriate medical care of patients during the study.  
Planned safety assessments and measures are detailed in Section 10.4.3, but additional 
assessments and safety tests may be performed at the investigator’s discretion.
The investigator remains responsible for following, through an appropriate health care option, 
AEs that are serious, considered related to study treatment or the study, or that caused the patient
to discontinue before completing the study.  The patient should be followed until the event is 
resolved or explained.  Frequency of follow-up evaluation is left to the discretion of the 
investigator.

I1F-MC-RHBN(c) Protocol
Page 35
LY2439821
In addition to records of observations made at specific times, unexpected signs and symptoms 
and concomitant medications will be recorded in the clinical trial records throughout the study.
10.4.1. Adverse Events
Lilly has standards for reporting AEs that are to be followed regardless of applicable regulatory 
requirements that may be less stringent.
Study site personnel will record the occurrence and nature of each patient’s preexisting 
conditions, including clinically significant signs and symptoms of the disease under treatment in 
the study.
Cases of pregnancy that occur during maternal or paternal exposures to the investigational 
product should be reported.  Data on fetal outcome and breastfeeding are collected for regulatory 
reporting and drug safety evaluation.
After the ICF is signed, site personnel will record any change in the condition(s) and the 
occurrence and nature of any AEs.  All AEs related to protocol procedures are reported to Lilly 
or designee.
Any clinically significant findings from ECGs, laboratory test results, vital sign measurements, 
other procedures, and so on should be reported as AEs to Lilly or its designee.
Investigators will be instructed to report to Lilly or its designee their assessment of the potential 
relatedness of each AE to protocol procedure, studied disease state, or investigational product via
CRF, electronic data entry, or designated data transmission methods.
The investigator decides whether he or she interprets the observed AEs as related to disease, 
study medication, study procedure, or other concomitant treatment or pathologies.  To assess the 
relationship of the AE to the investigational product, the following terminologies are defined:

Related:  A direct cause and effect relationship between the study treatment and the AE 
is likely.

Possibly related:  A cause and effect relationship between the study treatment and the 
AE has not been demonstrated at this time and is not probable, but is also not impossible.

Unrelated:  Without question, the AE is definitely not associated with the study 
treatment.
Per Lilly’s standard operating procedures, all “related” and “possibly related” AEs and SAEs 
will be defined as related to the investigational product.
10.4.2. Serious Adverse Events
Serious adverse event collection and reporting will commence after the ICF is signed.  
Planned surgeries should not be reported as SAEs unless the underlying medical condition has 
worsened during the course of the study.

I1F-MC-RHBN(c) Protocol
Page 36
LY2439821
Study site personnel must alert Lilly or its designee of any SAE within 24 hours of investigator 
awareness of the event via a sponsor-approved method.  If alerts are issued via telephone, they
are to be immediately followed with official notification on study-specific SAE forms.  This 
24-hour notification requirement refers to the initial SAE information and all follow-up SAE 
information.  
An SAE is any AE from this study that results in one of the following outcomes:

death

initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization

a life-threatening experience (that is, immediate risk of dying)

persistent or significant disability/incapacity

congenital anomaly/birth defect

considered significant by the investigator for any other reason.
Important medical events that may not result in death, be life-threatening, or require 
hospitalization may be considered SAEs when, based upon appropriate medical judgment, they 
may jeopardize the patient and may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the 
outcomes listed in this definition.
Serious adverse events occurring up to and including the patient’s last study visit will be 
collected, regardless of the investigator’s opinion of causation, in the clinical data collection 
database and the pharmacovigilance system at the sponsor.
If an investigator becomes aware of SAEs occurring to a patient after the patient’s participation 
in the trial has ended, the investigator should report them to the sponsor, regardless of the 
investigator’s opinion of causation, and the SAEs will be entered in the pharmacovigilance 
system at the sponsor.
Information on SAEs expected in the study population independent of drug exposure and that 
will be assessed by the sponsor in aggregate periodically during the course of the trial may be 
found in the IB.  
10.4.2.1. Suspected Unexpected Serious Adverse Reactions 
Suspected unexpected serious adverse reactions (SUSARs) are serious events that are not listed 
in the IB and that the investigator identifies as related to investigational product or procedure.  
United States 21 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 312.32 and European Union Clinical 
Trial Directive 2001/20/EC, and the associated detailed guidances or national regulatory 
requirements in participating countries, require the reporting of SUSARs.  Lilly has procedures 
that will be followed for the recording and expedited reporting of SUSARs that are consistent 
with global regulations and the associated detailed guidances.

I1F-MC-RHBN(c) Protocol
Page 37
LY2439821
10.4.3. Other Safety Measures
10.4.3.1. Physical Examination
Physical examinations and routine medical assessments will be conducted as specified in the 
Study Schedules (Attachment 1 and Attachment 2) and as clinically indicated.
10.4.3.2. Vital Signs
Vital signs (BP, respiratory rate, pulse rate, and body temperature) will be measured in a sitting 
posture.  Any clinically significant findings that result in a diagnosis should be captured on the 
CRF.  Additional measurements of vital signs may be performed at the discretion of the 
investigator.  
10.4.3.3. Body Weight
Body weight will be recorded as specified in the Study Schedules (Attachment 1 and Attachment 
2) and as clinically indicated.
10.4.3.4. Electrocardiograms
For each patient, a single 12-lead digital ECG will be collected according to the Study Schedules
(Attachment 1 and Attachment 2).  Electrocardiograms must be recorded before collecting any 
blood for safety or PK tests.  Patients must be supine for approximately 5 to 10 minutes before 
ECG collection and remain supine but awake during ECG collection.  Electrocardiograms may 
be obtained at additional times when deemed clinically necessary.  Collection of additional 
ECGs at a particular time point is allowed to ensure high quality records. All ECGs recorded 
should be stored at the investigational site.
Electrocardiograms will be interpreted by a qualified physician (the investigator or qualified 
designee) at the site as soon after the time of ECG collection as possible, ideally while the patient
is still present, to determine whether the patient meets entry criteria at the relevant visit(s) and 
for immediate patient management, should any clinically relevant findings be identified.  
If a clinically significant finding is identified (including, but not limited to changes in QT/QTc 
interval from baseline) after enrollment, the investigator will determine if the patient can 
continue in the study.  The investigator or qualified designee is responsible for determining if 
any change in patient management is needed and must document his/her review of the ECG 
printed at the time of collection.  Any new clinically relevant finding should be reported as an 
AE.
10.4.3.5. Chest X-Ray and Tuberculosis Testing
A posterior-anterior view chest x-ray will be obtained, unless the x-ray or results from a chest x-
ray obtained within 6 months prior to the study are available.  The chest x-ray or results will be 
reviewed by the investigator or designee to exclude patients with active TB infection.
In addition, patients will be tested at screening as indicated in the Study Schedules (Attachment 1
and Attachment 2) for evidence of active or latent TB (positive PPD [≥5-mm induration] or 
positive QTF or T-SPOT at screening but no other evidence of active TB).  In sites where the 
QTF or T-SPOT test is available and, in the judgment of the investigator, preferred as an 
alternative to the PPD skin test for the evaluation of TB infection, it may be used instead of the 

I1F-MC-RHBN(c) Protocol
Page 38
LY2439821
PPD test (positive test excluded) and may be read locally. If the QTF or T-SPOT test is 
indeterminate, 1 retest is allowed. If the retest is indeterminate, the patient will be excluded from 
the study.  If the retest is positive but without clinical evidence of TB, the patient will be 
considered as latent TB for study purposes. 
Patients with documentation of a negative test result within 3 months prior to baseline (Week 0;
Visit 2) do not need a TB screen at Visit 1.  Documentation of this test result must include a 
record of the size of the induration response.  A PPD test recorded as negative without 
documenting the size of induration will result in a retest.
However, patients with a positive QTF or T-SPOT at screening, but no other evidence of active 
TB, may be rescreened 1 time and may be enrolled without repeating the test if the following 
conditions are met:

after receiving at least 4 weeks of appropriate latent TB infection (LTBI) therapy, and

no evidence of hepatotoxicity (ALT/AST must remain ≤2xULN) upon retesting of serum 
ALT/AST prior to randomization (such patients must complete appropriate LTBI therapy 
during the course of the study in order to remain eligible), and 

meet all other inclusion and exclusion criteria for participation.
If rescreening occurs within 6 months of the screening chest x-ray, there is no necessity for 
repeat of chest x-ray for considering enrollment. Patients who have a documented history of 
completing an appropriate TB treatment regimen with no history of re-exposure to TB since their 
treatment was completed and no evidence of active TB are eligible to participate in the 
study. Patients who have had household contact with a person with active TB are excluded, 
unless appropriate and documented prophylaxis for TB was given.
10.4.3.6. Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology–Self Report, 16 item
The QIDS-SR16 is a self-administered, 16-item instrument intended to assess the existence and 
severity of symptoms of depression as listed in the American Psychiatric Association’s 
Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th Edition (DSM-IV) (APA 1994). A 
patient is asked to consider each statement as it relates to the way they have felt for the past 
7 days. There is a 4-point scale for each item ranging from 0 to 3. The 16 items corresponding 
to 9 depression domains are summed to give a single score ranging from 0 to 27, with higher 
scores denoting greater symptom severity. The domains assessed by the instrument 
include: (1) sad mood, (2) concentration, (3) self-criticism, (4) suicidal ideation, (5) interest, 
(6) energy/fatigue, (7) sleep disturbance (initial, middle, and late insomnia or hypersomnia), 
(8) decrease/increase in appetite/weight, and (9) psychomotor agitation/retardation. Additional 
information and the QIDS-SR16 questions can be found at the University of Pittsburgh 
IDS/QIDS internet page (http://www.ids-qids.org).
10.4.3.7. Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale
Consistent with the United States Food and Drug Administration (US-FDA) regulatory guidance 
(FDA 2012), any occurrence of suicide-related thoughts and behaviors will be assessed as 
indicated in the Study Schedules (Attachment 1 and Attachment 2) using the Columbia-Suicide 
Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS), a scale that captures the occurrence, severity, and frequency of 

I1F-MC-RHBN(c) Protocol
Page 39
LY2439821
suicide-related thoughts and behaviors during the corresponding assessment period.  The scale 
includes suggested questions to elicit the type of information needed to determine if a suicide-
related thought or behavior occurred. 
Terms captured by the use of the C-SSRS can be mapped to Columbia Classification Algorithm 
for Suicide Assessment (Posner et al. 2007) to facilitate future pooling of data. 
The first time the scale is administered in this study, the C-SSRS “Baseline” version will be 
used, and the findings will constitute the baseline assessment.  The C-SSRS “Since Last Visit”
scale will be used for all subsequent assessments.  If a suicide-related thought or behavior is 
identified at any time during the study, a thorough evaluation will be performed by a study 
physician, and appropriate medical care will be provided.  The Lilly Self-Harm Supplement 
should be completed every time the C-SSRS is administered.  If, based on administration of the 
C-SSRS, it is determined that suicide-related behaviors have occurred, then the Lilly Self-Harm 
Follow-Up form will be used to collect additional information to allow for a more complete 
assessment of these behaviors.
10.4.4. Safety Monitoring
The Lilly clinical pharmacologist or CRP will monitor safety data throughout the course of the 
study.
Lilly will review SAEs within time frames mandated by company procedures.  The Lilly clinical 
pharmacologist or research physician will consult with the functionally independent Global 
Patient Safety therapeutic area physician or clinical research scientist (CRS) when appropriate, 
and periodically review:

trends in safety data

laboratory analytes

AEs including monitoring of infection.
10.4.5. Complaint Handling
Lilly collects product complaints on investigational products and drug delivery systems used in 
clinical trials in order to ensure the safety of study participants, monitor quality, and facilitate 
process and product improvements.
The investigator or his/her designee is responsible for handling the following aspects of the 
product complaint process in accordance with the instructions provided for this study:

recording a complete description of the product complaint reported and any associated 
AEs using the study-specific complaint forms provided for this purpose

faxing the completed product complaint form within 24 hours to Lilly or its designee.
If the investigator is asked to return the product for investigation, he/she will return a copy of the 
product complaint form with the product.

I1F-MC-RHBN(c) Protocol

LY2439821
10.5. Appropriateness and Consistency of Measurements
Pharmacokinetic measurements are appropriate for the proposed study design which consists of 
both single- and multiple-dose treatment groups.  Safety measures used in this trial are all well 
established.  The PASI and sPGA, rating measures specific for psoriasis, are well-recognized 
tools for assessing efficacy in this disease.  
10.6. Compliance
Every attempt will be made to select patients who have the ability to understand and comply with 
instructions.  Noncompliant patients may be discontinued from the study.  The time and day of 
drug administration will be recorded.  Drug accountability records will be maintained by the 
study site.
The specifications in this protocol for the timings of safety, PK, and PD sampling are given as 
targets, to be achieved within reasonable limits.  Modifications may be made to the time points 
based upon the safety information obtained.  The scheduled time points may be subject to minor 
alterations; however, the actual time must be correctly recorded in the CRF.
Any major modifications that might affect the conduct of the study, patient safety, and/or data 
integrity will be detailed in a protocol amendment.

Sample Size and Analyses Methods
11.1. Determination of Sample Size
Up to 45 patients (15 patients for the single-dose phase and 30 patients for the multiple-dose 
phase) will be enrolled to target that 8 patients complete the single-dose phase and 20 patients 
(10 for each dosing regimen) complete the multiple-dose phase.
This study has been designed to meet the primary objective of assessing the PK of a single dose 
and multiple doses of ixekizumab in Chinese patients with psoriasis.  The sample size was 
chosen to meet Chinese regulatory requirements and to provide sufficient data to evaluate the 
objectives and is not intended to achieve any prior statistical requirements.  
11.2. Data Analysis Plans
11.2.1. General Considerations
Statistical analysis of this study will be the responsibility of Eli Lilly and Company or its 
designee.
PK and PD analyses will be conducted on the full analysis set.  This set includes all data from all 
patients receiving at least 1 dose of the investigational product, and for PK analyses, it includes 
patients with sufficient PK samples to enable a PK assessment.  Safety analyses will be 
conducted for all enrolled patients, whether or not they completed all protocol requirements.
Additional exploratory analyses of the data will be conducted as deemed appropriate.  Analyses 
will be fully detailed in the statistical analysis plan. Study results may be pooled with the results 
of other studies for population PK analysis to avoid issues with post-hoc analyses and incomplete 
disclosures of analyses.  
Data will be presented using summary tables and patient data listings.  
11.2.2. Study Participant Disposition
All patients who discontinue from the study will be identified, and the extent of their 
participation in the study will be reported.  If known, a reason for their discontinuation will be 
given.
11.2.3. Study Participant Characteristics
The patient’s age, sex, weight, BMI, height, race, and ethnicity, or other demographic 
characteristics (such as geographic region, baseline disease severity, duration of disease, 
previous systemic therapy, and previous biologic therapy) will be summarized.
Baseline clinical measures (such as sPGA score, PASI total score, and BSA) will be 
summarized.

I1F-MC-RHBN(c) Protocol
Page 42
LY2439821
11.2.4. Pharmacokinetic Analyses
Pharmacokinetic parameter estimates for ixekizumab will be calculated by standard 
noncompartmental methods of analysis.  The PK parameters for estimation after the single dose 
will include Cmax, time to Cmax (tmax), and area under the concentration versus time curve
(AUC).  Other parameters such as terminal half-life, apparent clearance, and apparent volume of 
distribution may be determined.  The PK parameters for estimation after the last dose of the 
8- week treatment will include Cmax, tmax, and AUC.  Other parameters such as terminal half-
life, apparent clearance, and apparent volume of distribution may be determined.
Descriptive statistics of PK parameters will be presented for each dose regimen (single dose, 
Q2W multiple dose, and Q4W multiple dose).  Data may also be analyzed by population PK 
methods alone or in combination with other studies as deemed appropriate.  
11.2.5. Pharmacodynamic Analyses
11.2.5.1. Pharmacodynamic Parameter Estimation 
Clinical outcome measures PASI and sPGA are considered the PD measures in this study (see
Section 10.2.3).
11.2.5.2. Pharmacodynamic Statistical Inference
Descriptive statistics will be presented for PASI scores and sPGA scores (for both the single-
dose and multiple-dose phases of the study) by dose regimen and study day. Mean percentage 
change in PASI scores from baseline will be calculated and summarized.
Additional analyses may be conducted as deemed appropriate.
11.2.6. Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic Analyses
Exploratory exposure-response relationship analyses for PASI scores and sPGA scores may be 
conducted, if deemed appropriate.
11.2.7. Safety Analyses
11.2.7.1. Clinical Evaluation of Safety
All investigational product and protocol procedure AEs will be listed, and if the frequency of 
events allows, safety data will be summarized using descriptive methodology.
The incidence of symptoms for each treatment will be presented by severity and by association 
with investigational product as perceived by the investigator.  Symptoms reported to occur prior 
to study enrollment will be distinguished from those reported as new or increased in severity 
during the study.  Each symptom will be classified by the most suitable term from the medical 
regulatory dictionary.
The number of SAEs related to the investigational product will be reported.

11.2.7.2. Statistical Evaluation of Safety
Safety parameters that will be assessed include the C-SSRS, safety laboratory test parameters,
and vital signs.  The parameters will be listed and summarized using standard descriptive 
statistics.  Additional analysis will be performed if warranted upon review of the data.
11.2.7.3. Evaluation of Immunogenicity
The frequency of antibody formation to ixekizumab will be determined.  If a neutralization assay 
is performed, the frequency of neutralizing antibodies will be determined.  The relationship 
between the presence (or absence) of antibodies and clinical parameters (for example, AEs and
PD measures) will be assessed, as will the relationship between the presence of antibodies and 
the PK parameters of ixekizumab.  
11.3. Interim Analyses
No interim analyses are planned for this study in order to support the primary or secondary 
objectives.  If an unplanned interim analysis is deemed necessary, the Lilly clinical 
pharmacologist, CRP or investigator, or designee will consult with the appropriate medical 
director or designee to determine if it is necessary to amend the protocol.
However, interim access to data may be conducted to support comparisons of PK data from 
Chinese patients in this study to PK data observed in non-Chinese patients from global studies, to
enable planning for future studies.  No changes to this study design are planned based on these 
PK analyses. Additionally, interim access to safety data may occur if deemed necessary or 
appropriate.

Data Management Methods
12.1. Data Quality Assurance
To ensure accurate, complete, and reliable data, Lilly or its representatives will do the following:

provide instructional material to the study sites, as appropriate.

sponsor start-up training to instruct the investigators and study coordinators.  This 
training will give instruction on the protocol, the completion of the CRFs, and study 
procedures.

make periodic visits to the study site.

be available for consultation and stay in contact with the study site personnel by mail, 
telephone, and/or fax.

review and evaluate CRF data and/or use standard computer edits to detect errors in data 
collection.

conduct a quality review of the database.
In addition, Lilly or its representatives will periodically check a sample of the patient data 
recorded against source documents at the study site.  The study may be audited by Lilly and/or 
regulatory agencies at any time.  Investigators will be given notice before an audit occurs.
The investigator will keep records of all original source data.  This might include laboratory 
tests, medical records, and clinical notes.  If requested, the investigator will provide the sponsor, 
applicable regulatory agencies, and applicable ERBs with direct access to the original source 
documents.
12.2. Data Capture Systems
12.2.1. Source Data and Case Report Form
A source document is the first record of data.  These can be paper (for example, ECG tracing or 
patient diary), a paper CRF on which the data is initially recorded, or data captured directly on an 
investigator site electronic system (for example, Holter monitor record data files or electronic 
health records).  The site must retain all source records and must maintain a record of any data 
where source data are directly entered into the paper CRF.
Data may then be entered into either an electronic (eCRF) or paper CRF, and the process will be 
documented and communicated by the sponsor to the investigator site before first patient visit.
Some investigator site data may be collected directly in the paper CRF, whereas other data that is 
collected by the site on paper or electronic records may be transferred to the paper CRF.
Lilly does not allow direct source data entry into Lilly computer systems, with the exception of 
the investigator site systems at the Lilly clinical research unit.

I1F-MC-RHBN(c) Protocol
Page 45
LY2439821
For data handled by a data management third-party organization (TPO), CRF data and some or 
all data that are related will be managed and stored electronically in the TPO system.  
Subsequent to the final database lock, validated data will be transferred to the sponsor.
For data handled internally, CRF data and some or all data that are related will be managed by 
the sponsor and stored electronically in the sponsor’s system.
12.2.2. Ancillary Data
Data managed by a central vendor will be stored electronically in the central laboratory’s 
database system.  Data will subsequently be transferred from the central vendor to the Lilly data 
warehouse and the TPO’s system.
Bioanalytical data will be stored electronically in the bioanalytical laboratory’s database.  Data 
will subsequently be transferred from the bioanalytical laboratory to the Lilly data warehouse 
and the TPO’s system.
Data from complaint forms submitted to Lilly will be encoded and stored in the global product 
complaint management system.

Informed Consent, Ethical Review, and Regulatory
Considerations
13.1. Informed Consent
The investigator is responsible for ensuring that the patient understands the potential risks and 
benefits of participating in the study, including answering any questions the patient may have 
throughout the study and sharing in a timely manner any new information that may be relevant to 
the patient’s willingness to continue his or her participation in the trial.
The ICF will be used to explain the potential risks and benefits of study participation to the 
patient in simple terms before the patient is entered into the study and to document that the 
patient is satisfied with his or her understanding of the potential risks and benefits of 
participating in the study and desires to participate in the study.
The investigator is ultimately responsible for ensuring that informed consent is given by each 
patient before the study is started.  This includes obtaining the appropriate signatures and dates 
on the ICF prior to the performance of any protocol procedures and prior to the administration of 
the investigational product.
13.2. Ethical Review
Lilly or its representatives must approve all ICFs before they are used at investigative sites.  All 
ICFs must be compliant with the ICH guideline on GCP.  
Documentation of ERB approval of the protocol and the ICF must be provided to Lilly before the 
study may begin at the investigative site(s).  The ERB(s) will review the protocol as required.
The study site’s ERB(s) should be provided with the following:

the current IB and updates during the course of the study

ICF

relevant curricula vitae.
13.3. Regulatory Considerations
This study will be conducted in accordance with:
1) consensus ethics principles derived from international ethics guidelines, including the 
Declaration of Helsinki and Council for International Organizations of Medical Sciences
(CIOMS) International Ethical Guidelines 
2) the ICH GCP Guideline [E6]
3) applicable laws and regulations.
The investigator or designee will promptly submit the protocol to applicable ERB(s).
Some of the obligations of the sponsor will be assigned to a TPO.

I1F-MC-RHBN(c) Protocol
Page 47
LY2439821
An identification code assigned to each patient will be used in lieu of the patient’s name to 
protect the patient’s identity when reporting AEs and/or other trial-related data.
13.3.1. Investigator Information
Site-specific contact information may be provided in a separate document.
13.3.2. Protocol Signatures
The sponsor’s responsible medical officer will approve the protocol, confirming that, to the best 
of his or her knowledge, the protocol accurately describes the planned design and conduct of the 
study.  
After reading the protocol, each principal investigator will sign the protocol signature page and 
send a copy of the signed page to a Lilly representative.
13.3.3. Final Report Signature
The final report coordinating investigator or designee will sign the clinical study report for this 
study, indicating agreement that, to the best of his or her knowledge, the report accurately 
describes the conduct and results of the study.
The investigator with the most enrolled patients will serve as the final report coordinating 
investigator.  If this investigator is unable to fulfill this function, another investigator will be 
chosen by Lilly to serve as the final report coordinating investigator.
The sponsor’s responsible medical officer and statistician will sign/approve the final clinical 
study report for this study, confirming that, to the best of his or her knowledge, the report 
accurately describes the conduct and results of the study.

The QuantiFERON-TB Gold test or T-SPOT.TB test may be used instead of the PPD test at Visit 1 to 
determine eligibility of a subject for the study.  Test may be waived if documented negative results are available 
from a test obtained within the last 3 months and no history of exposure to a case of active tuberculosis (TB) or 
visit to a TB endemic area since the time of the test.

Attachment 4.Protocol RHBN Blood Sampling Summary
This table summarizes the approximate number of venipunctures and blood volumes for all 
blood sampling (screening, safety laboratories, and bioanalytical assays) during the study.  Fewer 
venipunctures and blood draws may actually occur, but this will not require a protocol 
amendment.

Summary
A Phase 1, Single- and Multiple-Dose Study to Assess the 
Safety and Pharmacokinetics of Ixekizumab (LY2439821) 
(Anti–IL-17 Humanized Antibody) in
Chinese Patients with Psoriasis Vulgaris
Overview
Protocol I1F-MC-RHBN(b), A Phase 1, Single- and Multiple-Dose Study to Assess the Safety 
and Pharmacokinetics of Ixekizumab (LY2439821) (Anti–IL-17 Humanized Antibody) in 
Chinese Patients with Psoriasis Vulgaris, has been amended.  The new protocol is indicated by 
Amendment (c) and will be used to conduct the study in place of any preceding version of the 
protocol.
The overall changes and rationale for the changes made to this protocol are as follows:

Section 9.2 has been amended to allow for warming of the syringes for approximately 30 
minutes as opposed to strictly 30 minutes.  This will allow more flexibility and ease of 
operation for the site.

Section 9.6 has been amended to ensure alignment with exclusion criterion [14] and to 
include additional topical therapies for patient’s use during the study since they will not 
impact the primary and secondary objectives.

Revised Protocol Sections
Note:
All deletions have been identified by strikethroughs.
All additions have been identified by the use of underscore.
Section 9.2
Treatment Administration
Allow the prefilled syringe containing the drug product to equilibrate to room temperature for 
approximately 30 minutes.  Do not return syringe to the refrigerator. The prefilled syringes 
should be taken from the refrigerator and allowed to warm up to room temperature for 30 
minutes prior to use.  
Section 9.6
Concomitant Therapy
The following therapies will not be permitted during the course of the study:  

psoriasis therapy as described in the Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria (Sections 8.1.1 and 
8.1.2), except as described in the following paragraphs for topical agents.

concomitant medications as described in the Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria 
(Sections 8.1.1 and 8.1.2)

live vaccines

phototherapy.
Topical Psoriasis Treatment: Topical psoriasis treatment as indicated below will be permitted 
after completion of Week 4 (Visit 9) and prior to Week 18 (Day 127) during the single-dose 
phase and after completion of the Week 12 visit during the multiple-dose phase.

Steroids: Topical treatments including, but not limited to corticosteroids, vitamin D 
analogues, tarzarotene, and tacrolimus are permitted. SteroidsOnly steroids of mild 
potency (for example, desonide, fluocinolone acetonide, and alclometasone) or low 
potency (that is, hydrocortisone) will be permitted for use limited to are 
recommended for the face, axilla, and/or genitalia as needed.  These topical 
medications should not be used within approximately 24 hours prior to study visits 
requiring sPGA and PASI measures.  More potent topical steroids may be used as 
needed after last study visit.

Medicated shampoos and other nonsteroidal topical therapies: Medicated 
shampoos, topical moisturizers/emollients, and other nonprescription topical products 
are permitted. These topical medications should not be used within approximately 
12 hours prior to study visits requiring sPGA and PASI measures.
