Amendment 2 06 Jun 2022 
This amendment is considered to be substantial based on the criteria set forth in Article 
10(a) of Directive 2001/20/EC of the European Parliament and the Council of the 
European Union. 
Overall Rationale for Amendment 2:  
To permit (following consultation with the Medical Monitor), the screening of potential 
participants whose occasional recreational use of marijuana or medical use of marijuana 
will not likely impact the study. 
 
Section # and Name 
Description of Change 
Brief Rationale 
Section 5.2: Exclusion 
Criteria (No. 30) 
 
Substance abuse:  
ORIGINAL: Active 
substance abuse or a 
history of substance abuse 
within 6 months prior to 
the initial Screening visit. 
REVISED: Active substance 
abuse or a history of 
substance abuse (in the 
opinion of the Principal 
Investigator) within 6 
months prior to the initial 
Screening visit. Note that 
documented medical use 
of marijuana or occasional 
recreational use of 
marijuana may be 
permitted subject to a 
priori agreement with the 
Medical Monitor. 
When either the use of 
medical marijuana or the 
occasional recreational use 
of marijuana would be 
judged to not confound 
safety, efficacy or study 
compliance, then subject 
to a prior agreement with 
the Medical Monitor, such 
potential participants may 
progress to the Initial 
Screening Visit.

PROTOCOL SUMMARY 
1.1. 
Synopsis 
Protocol Title: A Phase Ib, Randomized, Double-Blind, Parallel Group, Placebo-
Controlled Study of the Clinical Effect, Safety and Tolerability of a Single Intravenous 
Infusion of GSK1070806 in Moderate to Severe Atopic Dermatitis Patients. 
Brief Title: Clinical Effect, Safety and Tolerability of GSK1070806 in Atopic Dermatitis. 
Rationale: Interleukin-18 (IL-18) is a pleiotropic cytokine with potential to amplify 
pathways important in Atopic Dermatitis (AtD) and for which increased IL-18 levels 
correlate with disease severity. GSK1070806 is a potent anti-IL-18 monoclonal antibody 
that is being developed for the treatment of AtD. 
Objectives and Endpoints: 
Objectives 
Endpoints 
Primary 
To compare the clinical effect of a 
single intravenous (IV) infusion of 
2 mg/kg GSK1070806 versus 
placebo in moderate to severe 
Atopic Dermatitis in the Biologic 
Naïve (BN) population (Group 1). 
Percent change from baseline (PCFB) in the 
Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) at Week 
12. 
Secondary 
To further compare the clinical 
effect (GSK1070806 versus 
placebo) in the BN population 
(Group 1). 
• 
Change from baseline (CFB) in the EASI at 
Week 12. 
• 
EASI 50/75/90 defined as ≥ 50/75/90% 
reduction in the EASI from Baseline at Week 
12. 
• 
Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) score 
of 0 or 1 at Week 12. 
To estimate the clinical effect of 
GSK1070806 in the dupilumab 
inadequate responder (Dupi-IR) 
population (Group 2). 
• 
PCFB in the EASI at Week 12. 
To assess safety and tolerability 
(GSK1070806 versus placebo) in 
the combined AtD population 
(Groups 1 and 2). 
• Incidence of serious adverse events (SAEs) 
and adverse events (AEs). 
• Incidence of clinically important findings in: 
o vital signs 
o electrocardiogram 
o laboratory: haematology, clinical 
chemistry and urinalysis.

Objectives 
Endpoints 
To assess anti-drug antibody 
(ADA) formation in the AtD 
population (Groups 1 and 2 
combined) 
Incidence of ADAs. 
Overall Design: 
A multi-centre, 12-week, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, placebo-controlled 
study of GSK1070806 to investigate efficacy and safety in moderate-to-severe AtD 
participants. 
Brief Summary: 
The study will assess the impact of GSK1070806 in two groups of patients with moderate-
to-severe AtD: 
• Group 1: Patients naïve to biologic treatment (and who have failed topical 
therapies). 
• Group 2: Patients who have not adequately responded (or have been intolerant) to 
dupilumab (Dupixent). 
All participants must wash out topical therapies (corticosteroids, calcineurin inhibitors, 
phosphodiesterase (PDEIV) inhibitors) for at least 7 days prior to dosing on Day 1. 
All participants are required to undergo Coronavirus strain 19 (COVID-19) testing prior to 
dosing and at the End of Study. 
Changes in the clinical signs of AtD as well as changes in disease biomarkers in blood and 
in skin (via serial biopsies and tape stripping) are to be assessed as well as patient reported 
outcomes (itch, sleep disturbance, fatigue), pharmacokinetics and anti-drug antibodies. 
The primary completion is at Week (Wk) 12 and the End of Study Visit is at Wk 24. 
Nine outpatient visits are scheduled: Screening (1), Treatment Period (6), Follow-Up 
Period (2). Skin biopsies and tape strips will be collected on Day 1 (prior to dosing), Wks 
4 and 12. 
Number of Participants: 
Approximately 64 patients are expected to be screened to achieve approximately 48 
randomly assigned participants.

INTRODUCTION 
GSK1070806 is a potent anti-interleukin-18 (IL-18) monoclonal antibody that is being 
developed for the treatment of Atopic Dermatitis (AtD) [see Investigator Brochure (IB), 
[GSK Document Number WM2009/00047/07]. 
2.1. 
Study Rationale  
Atopic Dermatitis 
Atopic dermatitis is a chronic relapsing inflammatory skin disease characterized by 
eczematous lesions and intense pruritus [Weidinger, 2016, Simpson, 2016a], and is 
associated with skin barrier dysfunction and immune dysregulation. Intense pruritus results 
in sleep deprivation, signs of anxiety and depression, impaired quality of life and reduced 
productivity [reviewed Yosipovitch, 2019]. 
AtD is a heterogeneous disease with primary T-helper cell (TH)2/TH22-skewing and 
variable TH1/TH17 contribution [Glickman, 2020]. Changes in the  transcriptional profile 
of AtD have been observed with a number of experimental / approved therapies that have 
also shown clinical efficacy including cyclosporin [Khattri, 2014], topical corticosteroids 
[Brunner, 2016], Janus kinase inhibitors [Pavel, 2019], phosphodiesterase 4 inhibitor 
[Bissonnette, 2019] dupilumab [Beck, 2014], ustekinumab [Khattri, 2017] and 
fezakinumab [Brunner, 2019]. The AtD skin proteome shows an inflammatory and 
vascular-endothelial signature (even in non-lesional skin), emphasizing the need for early 
treatment [Pavel, 2019]. 
Prevalence and Economic Burden 
Population-based estimates place adult prevalence between 2.1 - 4.4% across countries 
[Barbarot, 2018]. Severity is consistent worldwide with mild, moderate and severe at 
~60%, ~29%, and 11%, respectively [Fuxench, 2019]. 
In the United States (U.S.) three recent studies report that AtD occurs in approximately 7-
8% adults [Silverberg, 2015, Barbarot, 2018, Sacottte, 2018, Fuxench, 2019].  
From a 2004 study investigating the burden of skin disease in the United States, it was 
estimated that total annual burden of AtD (direct, indirect and costs due to quality of 
life) was $4.2 billion, equating to approximately $5.4 billion in 2016 [Adamson, 2017].  
Treatment(s) and Unmet Medical Need 
Dupilumab (Dupixent, see Summary of Product Characteristics, 2021] is a fully human 
monoclonal antibody directed against the IL-4 receptor α subunit and is licenced for use in 
moderate-severe AtD when topical prescription therapies have failed. Clinical trials of 
dupilumab in adults and adolescent populations with moderate to severe AtD have 
demonstrated significant improvement in clinical outcomes: for example, in two pivotal 
studies, SOLO 1 and SOLO 2, a 75% improvement in the eczema activity severity index, 
(EASI-75) was achieved in approximately 50% patients (versus placebo, 15%) with 
approximately 37% patients achieving an investigator global assessment (IGA) score of  
0/1 (clear/nearly clear skin), as compared to placebo (10% IGA 0/1). Other important 
measures including itch, quality of life and symptoms of anxiety and depression also

showed meaningful clinical improvement [Beck, 2014; Thaci, 2015; Simpson, 2016b; 
Blauvelt, 2017; de Bruin-Weller, 2018; Cork, 2020; Simpson, 2020a]. 
Although it was recently reported that the Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) 0/1 end 
point signiﬁcantly under estimated dupilumab’s treatment effects [Silverberg, 2019], the 
post-hoc analyses using other validated clinical endpoints suggest that there still remains 
an unmet medical need. Therefore, alternative therapies continue to be explored for patients 
who must discontinue dupilumab (or any other therapy) due to limited or slow-onset 
efficacy or adverse reactions. Indeed, there exists an opportunity to explore a broader 
approach and for which relatively infrequent dosing may also be possible, such as an anti-
IL-18 mAb (GSK1070806). 
2.2. 
Background 
Rationale for a potential role of IL-18 in Atopic Dermatitis 
Interleukin-18 (IL-18) is a pleiotropic cytokine which acts as a modulator of the innate 
and adaptive immune response in a context dependent manner with potential to amplify 
pathways important in AtD [Saikiran, 2013, Lee, 2015]. Increased IL-18 levels were 
observed in the skin and plasma of patients with AtD and correlated with disease severity 
[Inoue, 2011]. In preclinical models, overexpression of IL-18 induces skin inflammation, 
while neutralisation of IL-18 can prevent development of an AtD-like phenotype 
suggesting that IL-18 may have potential in clinical disease [Antonopoulos, 2008; Röse, 
2012; Plitz, 2003; Kawase, 2003; Ricardo-Gonzalez, 2018; Chen, 2020; Konishi, 2002; 
Terada, 2006]. Polymorphisms in the IL-18 gene locus are associated with higher 
circulating IL-18 levels and increased incidence of AtD. Collectively, these data suggest 
that IL-18 may play a key role in the pathophysiology of AtD which warrants clinical 
evaluation. 
GSK1070806 and prior clinical studies 
GSK1070806 is a highly potent anti-IL-18 monoclonal immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1) 
antibody which was previously explored in a first time in human (FTIH) and in exploratory 
studies in Type 2 Diabetes and Delayed Graft Function following renal transplantation 
[Mistry, 2014; McKie, 2016;Wlodek, 2021]. One additional early phase clinical study was 
also conducted in Crohn’s Disease but results have not yet been reported [see IB “Previous 
Human Experience” and Appendix “Tabulated List of Clinical Studies” for details, GSK 
Document Number WM2009/00047/07]. 
Study 215253 in Atopic Dermatitis: 
This translational medicine study (215253) will test the impact of GSK1070806 in two 
groups of patients with moderate-severe AtD. Group 1 participants are those who have 
failed topical therapies and remain naïve to both biologic therapies (e.g. dupilumab) and to 
inhibitors of the Janus kinase pathway (JAKi); the biologic naïve (BN) population. The 
primary efficacy endpoint of Group 1 is percent change from baseline in the eczema area 
and severity index (PCFB EASI [Hanifin, 2001]) at Wk 12. 
Given that the range of biological processes impacted by IL-18 is considerably broader 
than those impacted by IL-4/IL-13, there is the potential that GSK1070806 may provide

Potential Risk of Clinical Significance 
 
Summary of Data/Rationale for Risk 
 
Mitigation Strategy 
 
Study Intervention(s) GSK1070806 
Increased susceptibility to infection 
 
IL-18 plays a role in host defence against 
microbial pathogens. Therefore, there is a 
theoretical risk that blocking of IL-18 
signalling by GSK1070806 may increase a 
patient’s susceptibility to bacterial and viral 
infections.  
Cynomolgus monkeys can be 
asymptomatic carriers of Shigella flexneri. 
Clinical signs of Shigella flexneri were first 
noted in a monkey administered vehicle 
control (0 mg/kg) and later in monkeys 
who received GSK1070806 at doses (3, 30 
and 300mg/kg) in the 4-week repeat dose 
study.  With the exception of 1 female in 
the top (300mg/kg) dose group, all animals 
responded to intramuscular antibiotic 
(Baytril) treatment prior to necropsy. 
In clinical studies, there was no apparent 
increase noted in infections, immune 
system disorders, or haematologic 
abnormalities in human participants dosed 
up to 10mg/kg. 
Appropriate exclusion criteria are included 
in the protocol (Section 5.2) to exclude 
patients with high risk of acute, recurrent 
and chronic infections 
Appropriate stopping criteria are included 
in the protocol (Section 7.1.1) with reviews 
of SAEs and severe AEs should they occur.

Potential Risk of Clinical Significance 
 
Summary of Data/Rationale for Risk 
 
Mitigation Strategy 
 
Infusion related and immune mediated side 
effects. 
 
No intravenous infusion-related or injection 
site reactions were noted in the monkey IV 
4-week repeat dose study and in human 
clinical studies. 
Participants will be monitored closely in a 
clinical unit for clinical signs of infusion-
related and immune-mediated side effects 
for 2 hours post-end of IV infusion. 
Patients will be informed of the potential 
for and symptoms of a late drug infusion 
reaction and on what to do (and this will 
also be detailed in the informed consent 
form [ICF]). 
Training for delegated staff on how to 
manage / available facilities will have been 
performed and documented. 
Immunogenicity 
No anti-drug antibodies (ADAs) were 
detected following 4 weekly 
administrations at doses up to 300 
mg/kg/week, or following the 8-week 
treatment free period, in cynomolgus 
monkeys. 
To date, 3 human participants had 
confirmed ADAs post dosing (1mg/kg), 
with relatively low titres. In 2 of 3 
participants the ADA titre were transient 
(positive at one time point) and were 
therefore not considered to be of major 
clinical significance. The third participant 
Monitoring of ADAs is included in the 
protocol.

Mitigation Strategy 
 
had confirmed low titre ADA from Day 14 
to Day 213 post dose, but these did not 
result in any clinical sequelae. To date, 
there is no evidence that ADAs affected the 
safety or pharmacokinetic profile of 
GSK1070806. 
Effects on blood pressure 
There was no apparent change in blood 
pressure in a single 300 mg/kg dose non-
clinical safety pharmacology study and a 4-
week toxicology study in monkeys (300 
mg/kg administered weekly for 4 weeks). 
In the FTIH clinical study (A18110040), no 
apparent change was observed in any mean 
value for any vital sign parameters (systolic 
and diastolic blood pressure, heart or 
respiration rate and body temperature) 
following administration of placebo or 
GSK1070806 at any dose level.  
Following administration of 3 mg/kg in

Summary of Data/Rationale for Risk 
 
Mitigation Strategy 
 
In Study A18116378 AEs of hypertension 
were reported in Type 2 Diabetic Mellitus 
patients following GSK1070806 
administration (2/13 (15%) participants at 
0.25 mg/kg; 3/12 (25%) participants at 5 
mg/kg), but not placebo. A detailed review 
of blood pressure did not suggest an overall 
trend, although there were some individuals 
with variations in blood pressure.  
Effects on pregnancy 
A reproductive toxicology study has not 
been conducted. 
GSK1070806 is not considered genotoxic. 
Elevated levels of IL-18 in placentas of 
blood samples from women with 
preeclampsia have been observed. 
Non-clinical modelling suggested that the 
likely transferable drug concentration for 
sperm to female via the vaginal tract is 
negligible.  
Women who are pregnant, lactating or are 
planning on becoming pregnant during the 
study are excluded. (please refer to Section 
5.2 for male and female contraception). 
WOCBP require the use of highly effective 
contraceptive methods and are to be 
monitored for pregnancy and withdrawn 
from selected study procedures in case of 
pregnancy (excepting continued safety 
monitoring)

Study Procedures  
Skin biopsy 
Complications of skin biopsy are 
uncommon but may include bleeding, 
infection, and scarring. 
 
Biopsies are to be performed under a local 
anaesthetic to reduce any discomfort. The 
small risk of infection after biopsy will be 
minimised by cleaning of the site before 
biopsy and the addition of a steri-
strip/suture if required (or similar). 
Participants are instructed to visually 
inspect skin biopsy sites and are informed 
on the signs of inflammation/infection to 
watch for and to contact the investigator 
with any concerns. 
 
Skin tape stripping 
Repeated tape stripping may cause mild 
discomfort. 
 
Participants are to be instructed to apply a 
bland emollient (if appropriate) following 
the procedure. 
Risk associated with attending an 
investigative site during the Coronavirus 
strain 19 (COVID-19) Pandemic 
 
The current COVID-19 (Severe acute 
respiratory syndrome-Coronavirus-2 
[SARS-CoV-2]) pandemic may pose a 
challenge to the integrity of the trial, 
protection of participants’ rights, safety and 
wellbeing and the safety of clinical trial 
staff. Therefore, risk mitigation strategies 
have been introduced and will be evaluated 
on an ongoing basis per each country. The 
Participant Selection: If it is deemed 
appropriate at a local level, participants will 
be counselled regarding the importance of 
infection control measures such as hand 
washing, reducing inter-personal contacts 
as much as possible and of potential 
COVID 19 symptoms. Site trial staff in 
direct contact and/or within 1 m distance of 
study participants will receive additional

protection via the use of Personal 
Protective Equipment (PPE) and 
disinfectants. 
Participant monitoring: If it is deemed 
appropriate at a local level, prospective 
AtD participants will be contacted by sites 
to check on COVID-19-related symptoms 
prior to being pre-screened (SARSCoV-2 
test) and prior to consenting. Consented 
participants may also be contacted (if it is 
deemed appropriate at a local level) prior to 
each scheduled visit. 
Participants will be screened prior to 
dosing on Day 1 and tested at the End of 
Study Visit (or at early withdrawal) as per 
protocol (see Section 1.3). 
Protection of Trial Integrity: Adherence 
to the protocol and investigative site 
procedures will go towards protecting the 
integrity of the data collected during this 
clinical trial, as well as the participants’ 
data protection rights. 
COVID-19 Contingency Plan: Any

SARS-CoV-2 test (3) may continue in the 
study (or may be temporarily suspended 
during recovery) if the investigator judges 
this to be possible (e.g. if the participant is 
able to adhere to local management 
guidance).  If a participant needs to be 
excluded from (further) participation in the 
trial s/he will receive follow-up medical 
attention as per local procedure.

Benefit Assessment 
AtD participants may experience benefit in improved symptoms and clinical presentation 
following a single administered dose of GSK1070806. By enrolling in this study, 
participants will be contributing to the process of developing a new medicine to address 
the unmet need for patients intolerant or unresponsive to currently available treatments. 
2.3.3. 
Overall Benefit: Risk Conclusion 
There remains an unmet medical need for effective treatment of AtD in patients who 
inadequately responded to topical SoC. 
 
Considering the measures taken to minimise the potential risks of GSK1070806, the 
potential for clinical benefit outweighs the potential risks of testing GSK1070806 in 
study participants.

STUDY DESIGN 
4.1. 
Overall Design 
This is a multi-centre, 12-week, randomized, double-blind, parallel group, placebo-
controlled study of GSK1070806 administered as a single 2 mg/kg IV and will investigate 
the efficacy and safety in moderate-severe AtD participants. See the Study Schematic 
(Section 1.2) and the Schedule of Activities (Section 1.3). 
Study Populations and Randomisation 
Group 1 - BN: for whom disease was not adequately controlled by topical treatments. 
Approximately 40 BN patients may need to be consented for screening to provide 30 
randomized. Thirty BN participants will receive GSK1070806 or placebo in a 2:1 ratio 
(20 and 10 participants, respectively). 
Group 2 - Dupi-IRs: patients whose disease was not adequately controlled following at 
least 16 weeks of dupilumab treatment (please refer to inclusion and exclusion criteria) or 
who could not tolerate dupilumab. Approximately 24 Dupi-IR patients may need to be 
consented for screening to provide 18 randomized. Eighteen Dupi-IR participants will 
receive GSK1070806 or placebo in a 5:1 ratio (15 and 3 participants, respectively). 
Primary Efficacy Endpoint 
The primary efficacy endpoint is percent change from baseline in the eczema area and 
severity index (PCFB EASI [Hanifin, 2001]) at Wk 12 in participants of Group 1. 
Study Duration 
Groups 1 and 2 will be conducted in parallel. 
The overall study duration for an individual participant is not expected to exceed 28 
weeks (Screening is 4 weeks; Treatment Period is 12 weeks; Follow-Up Period is 12 
weeks). 
The End of Study (Wk 24, Day 169) allows for continued safety monitoring beyond the 
Wk 12 primary endpoint in this new disease population (AtD), for which GSK1070806 has 
not yet been tested.

4.2. 
Scientific Rationale for Study Design 
Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled design 
GSK1070806 is an experimental drug which has not previously been studied in the AtD 
population. The inclusion of a placebo arm in Groups 1 and 2 will ensure blinding of any 
attribution of treatment to potential safety signals whilst also providing control data for 
the comparison of efficacy and biomarkers. 
Rationale for Two Study Populations 
Participants are to be grouped on the basis of their prior treatment: either Group 1 - biologic 
naïve (BN) and having failed topical therapies, or Group 2 - whether having specifically 
demonstrated an inadequate response to dupilumab (Dupi-IR).  
• Group 1: Participants with moderate to severe AtD who have not responded adequately 
to topical treatments (after 4 weeks treatment with either TCS or TCI within the last 6 
months) may usually, at this stage, be considered for an approved therapy (if available) 
e.g. Dupixent, or JAKis, or be considered for clinical trials. 
Potential BN participants must not have ever been treated for AtD with either 
dupilumab, other experimental biological treatments, or JAKi(s), owing to the potential 
for an overlapping mechanism of action with GSK1070806 
Studying GSK1070806 in the BN population will enable evaluation of preliminary 
efficacy in moderate-severe AtD and will allow indirect comparison with historical 
data. 
• Group 2: Although approximately 50% AtD patients receiving dupilumab (Dupixent, 
an anti-interleukin-4 receptor [IL-4R] mAb) achieve EASI75, there remains a 
significant unmet need.  Since the range of biological processes impacted by IL-18 is 
broader than those impacted by IL-4/IL-13, there is the potential that GSK1070806 
may provide benefit to those patients who were not adequately controlled by 
dupilumab. Therefore, it is of particular interest to additionally select/include a small 
group of Dupi-IRs to broaden the investigation.  
Given the putative difference in efficacy between the two study populations (as a 
consequence of prior treatment with dupilumab), the clinical endpoints for these 
populations are to be analysed separately (see Section 9). 
Washout of prior therapy during Screening. 
All participants must meet all clinical criteria at the point of randomization (for subsequent 
dosing on Day 1) following at least a 7-day washout of TCS (starting from Day -7).  
Duration of Treatment / Follow-Up Period 
The duration of the Treatment Period is 12 weeks (see both this Section 4.2 “Efficacy 
Endpoints” and Justification for Dose: Section 4.3).

Activity 
Participants will abstain from strenuous exercise for 24 hours before each blood 
collection for clinical laboratory tests.  
5.4. 
Screen Failures 
Screen failures are defined as participants who consent to participate in the clinical study 
but are not subsequently randomized/entered in the study. A minimal set of screen failure 
information is required to ensure transparent reporting of screen failure participants to meet 
the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) publishing requirements and 
to respond to queries from regulatory authorities. Minimal information includes 
demography, screen failure details, eligibility criteria, any protocol deviations and any 
serious adverse events (SAEs). 
5.4.1. 
Re-screening 
Participants who do not meet the eligibility criteria for this study may be rescreened once. 
Re-screened participants should be assigned a new participant number. 
5.4.2. 
Re-testing of Clinical Laboratory Values during Screening 
If a participant fails any of the laboratory criteria (e.g. variability around the threshold 
limit of a normal value, or spurious result), the test may be repeated once 
within the screening period. If the participant fails the laboratory criteria for a second 
time they will be considered a screen failure. 
 
If a blood sample needs to be repeated due to sample handling problems, breakage or 
sample integrity, this is not considered a re-testing. Further details regarding the 
procedure for re-testing may be found in the SRM.

6.2. 
Preparation/Handling/Storage/Accountability 
For the required dose, the IP will be diluted in 0.9% sodium chloride injection and 
administered through IV infusion. Description of the methods and materials required for 
preparation and handling of GSK1070806 dosing solutions are detailed in the Pharmacy 
Manual. 
Study treatment must be dispensed or administered according to procedures described 
herein and in the SRM and Pharmacy Manual.  
The investigator or designee must confirm appropriate temperature conditions have been 
maintained during transit for all study intervention received and any discrepancies are 
reported and resolved before use of the study intervention. 
Only participants enrolled in the study may receive study intervention and only 
authorized site staff may supply or administer study intervention. All study interventions 
must be stored in a secure, environmentally controlled, and monitored (manual or 
automated) area in accordance with the labeled storage conditions with access limited to 
the investigator and authorized site staff. 
The investigator, institution, or the head of the medical institution (where applicable) is 
responsible for study intervention accountability, reconciliation, and record maintenance 
(i.e., receipt, reconciliation, and final disposition records) 
Further guidance and information for the final disposition of unused study intervention 
are provided in the Study Reference Manual 
Under normal conditions of handling and administration, study intervention is not 
expected to pose significant safety risks to site staff.  Take adequate precautions to avoid 
direct eye or skin contact and the generation of aerosols or mists. In the case of 
unintentional occupational exposure notify the monitor, Medical Monitor and/or GSK 
study contact. 
Precaution will be taken to avoid direct contact with the study intervention. A Material 
Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)/equivalent document describing occupational hazards and 
recommended handling precautions either will be provided to the investigator, where this 
is required by local laws, or is available upon request from GSK. In the case of 
unintentional occupational exposure notify the monitor, Medical Monitor and/or GSK 
study contact.

6.3. 
Measures to Minimize Bias: Randomization and Blinding 
Blinded study with unblinded 
site pharmacist who is 
dispensing intervention 
All participants will be centrally randomized using an 
Interactive Voice/Web Response System 
(IVRS/IWRS): RAMOS-NG.  
Before the study is initiated, the telephone number and 
call-in directions for the IVRS and/or the log in 
information and directions for the IWRS will be 
provided to each site. 
Participants will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio (Group 1 
Biologic Naïve versus placebo) or 5:1 ratio (Group 2 
Dupi-IR) to receive study intervention. 
Investigators will remain blind to each participant’s 
assigned study intervention. 
In order to maintain the blind, an otherwise 
uninvolved 3rd party will be responsible for the 
dispensing of study intervention and will endeavour to 
ensure that there are no differences in the preparation 
time following randomization. 
Unblinded monitors, and in the event of a Quality 
Assurance audit, the auditor(s) will be permitted 
access to un-blinded study intervention records at the 
site(s) to verify that randomization/dispensing has 
been done accurately. 
 
A participant may continue in the study if that participant’s intervention assignment is 
unblinded. 
GSK’s Global Clinical Safety and Pharmacovigilance (GCSP) staff may unblind the 
intervention assignment for any participant with an SAE. If the SAE requires that an 
expedited regulatory report be sent to one or more regulatory agencies, a copy of the 
report, identifying the participant’s intervention assignment, may be sent to investigators 
in accordance with local regulations and/or GSK policy. 
6.3.1. 
Controlled Early Access to Unblinded PK and PKPD Data 
Designated independent representative(s) may be unblinded for performing population 
PK and PKPD dataset preparation and draft PK and PKPD model development at one or 
more time points throughout the trial using scrambled (random reassignment of subject 
identification numbers) PK and PKPD unblinded datasets.

Study Intervention Compliance 
When participants are dosed at the site, they will receive study intervention directly from 
the investigator or designee, under medical supervision.  The date and time of each dose 
administered in the clinic will be recorded in the source documents.  The dose of study 
intervention and study participant identification will be confirmed at the time of dosing 
by a member of the study site staff other than the person administering the study 
intervention.

Treatment of Overdose 
For this study, any dose of GSK1070806 greater than 2 mg/kg will be considered an 
overdose. 
GSK does not recommend specific treatment for an overdose.  
In the event of an overdose, the investigator/treating physician should: 
• 
Contact the Medical Monitor immediately to discuss details (actual dose administered) 
and next steps. 
• 
 Monitor the participant for any AE/SAE and clinical laboratory parameters for 24 
weeks (until End of Study) following dosing. 
• 
Document the quantity of the excess dose in the case report form (CRF). 
6.8. 
Concomitant Therapy 
The Medical Monitor should be contacted if there are any questions regarding prior, 
concomitant (including rescue) or non-permitted therapies. 
Documenting therapies: Any medication or vaccine (including over-the-counter or 
prescription medicines, recreational drugs, vitamins, and/or herbal supplements) or other 
specific categories of interest (topical therapies for AtD) that the participant is receiving at 
the time of enrolment or receives during the study must be recorded along with: 
• reason for use 
• dates of administration including start and end dates 
• dosage information including dose and frequency

from Day -7 until at least Day 85. 
The following concomitant therapies are permitted under the conditions described. 
• Paracetamol/Acetaminophen, at doses of  2 grams/day at any time during the 
study. 
• Oral anti-histamines (at the approved dose) at any time during the study. 
• Intra-articular steroids (at the approved dose) at any time during the study. 
• COVID-19 vaccines: see SRM for updated list of vaccines permitted per each 
country. 
• Other concomitant medication may be considered on a case-by-case basis by the 
investigator (and in consultation with the Medical Monitor if required).  
 
6.8.2. 
Prohibited Medications 
Medications prohibited between Screening and Wk 12 are as follows owing to their 
potential to confound safety (and efficacy) assessments. 
• Topical corticosteroids, topical calcineurin inhibitors, topical PDE4 inhibitors  
• Oral immunosuppressants 
• IV corticosteroids or biological immunosuppressants 
• Phototherapy 
If a participant requires a prohibited medication to address an urgent clinical need (e.g. 
extremely active disease, see Section 7.1.4) this should be recorded as a protocol deviation. 
The protocol deviation may affect the evaluability of the participant and should be 
discussed with the Medical Monitor in advance, if possible. 
7. 
DISCONTINUATION OF STUDY INTERVENTION AND 
PARTICIPANT DISCONTINUATION/WITHDRAWAL 
The study stopping criteria are based upon the mechanism of action of blocking IL-18 (a 
modulator of the immune response), the one month cynomolgus monkey toxicology study 
finding(s) and on prior clinical experience following single (up to 10 mg/kg GSK1070806) 
and two doses (up to 5 mg/kg) GSK1070806, see IB, [GSK Document Number 
WM2009/00047/07]. 
7.1. 
Discontinuation of Study Intervention 
As this is a single dose study, discontinuation of study intervention is not applicable. This 
section describes additional monitoring or participant management that should be 
implemented if specific safety-related criteria are fulfilled. Unless otherwise specified, 
participants experiencing any of these criteria should continue in the study.

7.1.1. 
Adverse Event Criteria 
• 
A participant develops a serious or severe opportunistic or atypical infection.  
• 
The participant experiences a serious or severe adverse reaction following study 
investigational product administration, meeting Grade 3 or 4 of the Common 
Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) criteria, irrespective of causality. 
Full CTCAE descriptions and grades can be found in the accompanying SRM or the U.S 
Department of Health and Human Services, CTCAE, Version 5.0 (2017). 
Study assessments may be missed if it is determined by the investigator that it is not in the 
best interests of the participant to attend scheduled study visits prior to resolution of the 
adverse event. Once resolved, participants should complete remaining study assessments 
according to the SoA 
7.1.2. 
Liver Chemistry Criteria 
Since participants will receive a single dose of study medication, there are no liver specific 
stopping criteria as such and the participant may continue in the study according to the 
SoA. In the event of liver parameters deviating from the thresholds described in Section 
10.6, follow the instructions in that section. 
Liver chemistry increased monitoring criteria have been designed to assure participant 
safety and evaluate liver event etiology (in alignment with the FDA premarketing clinical 
liver safety guidance). 
fda.gov/downloads/Drugs/GuidanceComplianceRegulatoryInformation/Guidances/UCM
174090.pdf. 
7.1.3. 
QTc Criteria 
The same QT correction formula (either Bazett’s formula [QTcB] or Fridericia’s formula 
[QTcF]) must be used for all QTc data being collected for each individual participant to 
determine eligibility for the study. This formula must not be changed or substituted once 
the participant has been enrolled. 
 
If an abnormal (prolonged) QTc is observed post-dose, obtain 2 more ECGs over a brief 
period, and then use the averaged QTc value of the triplicate ECGs to determine whether 
the participant meets these criteria: 
• QTc >500 msec OR uncorrected QT >600 
msec. 
• Change from baseline of QTc >60 msec. 
The Investigator should assess the participant for clinical consequences and potential 
causes (including concomitant medications and electrolytes). Appropriate follow-up 
should be determined by the Investigator according to their assessment and in some cases 
might include referral to an emergency facility or cardiology for further evaluation. 
 
The investigator or qualified designee will determine if the participant may continue in the 
study according to the SoA, and if any change in participant management is needed.

Clinical Study Protocol template V15 dated 21-Dec-2020 
The review of the ECG printed at the time of collection must be documented. Any new 
clinically relevant finding should be reported as an AE. 
7.1.4. 
Other Criteria 
• 
Prohibited Medications: If the participant initiates and continues a prohibited 
medication (see Section 6.8.2) owing to a considerable worsening of AtD, s/he must 
be withdrawn from the study. Considerable worsening of AtD is defined as an increase 
in EASI of ≥25% from Baseline at 2 consecutive visits between Wks 4 and 12, 
according to the clinical judgement of the investigator.  
• 
Surgery: the participant requires surgery prior to Wk 12. 
• 
Pregnancy: the participant should be withdrawn from the study. 
7.1.5. 
Study Safety Stopping Criteria 
Blinded AEs, SAEs, laboratory abnormalities, ECG abnormalities, and changes in vital 
signs occurring across all randomised participants will be regularly reviewed by the SRT 
to ensure appropriate participant safety. 
The study may be paused or terminated if there are emergent safety findings that require 
further investigation or invalidate the positive benefit-risk assessment. Any changes to the 
study due to safety reasons will be promptly communicated to the appropriate Regulatory 
Authorities. The study may re-start only following approval of a substantial amendment by 
the regulatory agencies as well as the local ethics committees. 
7.2. 
Participant Discontinuation/Withdrawal from the Study 
• A participant may withdraw from the study at any time at his/her own request or 
may be withdrawn at any time at the discretion of the investigator for safety, 
behavioural, or compliance reasons.  
• Since participants will receive a single dose of study medication on Day 1, 
withdrawal following dosing will constitute declining to participate in study 
activities. Participants should be encouraged to remain in the study and complete 
the planned visits and assessments for the purposes of continued safety monitoring, 
if possible. 
• The Investigator must determine the primary reason for early withdrawal. 
Withdrawal due to an AE (according to the definition of an adverse event) should 
be distinguished from withdrawal due to an insufficient efficacy response.  
• In the event of an early withdrawal participants should be encouraged to complete 
at least the Early Withdrawal visit as soon as feasible. Participants should be 
encouraged to complete any/all remaining scheduled visits for the purposes of 
safety monitoring including the End of Study Visit (approximately 24 weeks after 
dosing) to mitigate safety risks associated with administration of a long-acting, 
novel immunosuppressive. The investigator should aim to follow up participants 
until all AEs and SAEs have resolved.

Clinical Study Protocol template V15 dated 21-Dec-2020 
• If the participant withdraws consent for disclosure of future information, the 
sponsor may retain and continue to use any data collected before such a 
withdrawal of consent. 
• If a participant withdraws from the study, he/she may request destruction of any 
samples taken and not tested, and the investigator must document this in the site 
study records. 
7.3. 
Lost to Follow Up 
A participant will be considered lost to follow-up if he or she repeatedly fails to return for 
scheduled visits and is unable to be contacted by the study site.  
The following actions must be taken if a participant fails to return to the clinic for a required 
study visit: 
• The site must attempt to contact the participant and reschedule the missed visit as 
soon as possible and counsel the participant on the importance of maintaining the 
assigned visit schedule and ascertain whether or not the participant wishes to and/or 
should continue in the study. 
• Before a participant is deemed lost to follow up, the investigator or designee must 
make every effort to regain contact with the participant (where possible, 3 telephone 
calls and, if necessary, a certified letter to the participant’s last known mailing 
address or local equivalent methods). These contact attempts should be documented 
in the participant’s medical record. 
• Should the participant continue to be unreachable, he/she will be considered to have 
withdrawn from the study.  
• Site personnel, or an independent third party, will attempt to collect the vital status 
of the participant within legal and ethical boundaries for all participants 
randomized, including those who did not get study intervention. Public sources may 
be searched for vital status information. If vital status is determined as deceased, 
this will be documented and the participant will not be considered lost to follow-
up. Sponsor personnel will not be involved in any attempts to collect vital status 
information. 
Discontinuation of specific sites or of the study as a whole are handled as part of Appendix 
1.

STUDY ASSESSMENTS AND PROCEDURES 
• Study procedures and their timing are summarized in the SoA.  
• Protocol waivers or exemptions are not allowed  
• Immediate safety concerns should be discussed with the sponsor immediately upon 
occurrence or awareness to determine if the participant may continue in the study.  
• Adherence to the study design requirements, including those specified in the SoA, 
is essential and required for study conduct. 
• All screening evaluations must be completed and reviewed to confirm that potential 
participants meet all eligibility criteria. The investigator will maintain a screening 
log to record details of all participants screened and to confirm eligibility or record 
reasons for screening failure, as applicable.  
• Procedures conducted as part of the participant’s routine clinical management (e.g., 
blood count) and obtained before signing of ICF may be utilized for screening or 
baseline purposes provided the procedure met the protocol-specified criteria and 
was performed within the time frame defined in the SoA. 
• Safety/Laboratory/analyte results that could unblind the study will not be reported 
to investigative sites or other blinded personnel until the study has been unblinded. 
• The maximum amount of blood collected from each participant over the duration 
of the study, including any extra assessments that may be required, will not exceed 
500 mL. 
• Repeat or unscheduled samples may be taken for safety reasons or for technical 
issues with the samples. 
8.1. 
Efficacy Assessments 
8.1.1. 
Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) 
EASI [Hanifin, 2001] is an internationally used classification of atopic dermatitis severity 
and is recommended for use by Harmonising Outcome Measures for Eczema, an 
international group for standardizing clinical trial outcomes in atopic dermatitis. 
EASI is an investigator-assessed measure that is used to assess the extent (area) and 
severity of atopic dermatitis.  The range of the scale is 0-72, with a higher score indicating 
greater severity. 
Please refer to the SRM for details on scoring the EASI. 
8.1.2. 
Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) 
Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) for Atopic Dermatitis is a measure of overall 
disease severity at the time of assessment and is the established FDA regulatory endpoint. 
It is measured on the following scale: 
0: Clear (No inflammatory signs of atopic dermatitis) 
1: Almost Clear (Just perceptible erythema and just perceptible papulation/infiltration)

Clinical Study Protocol template V15 dated 21-Dec-2020 
8.3.1. 
Physical Examinations 
• A complete physical examination will include, at a minimum, assessments of the Skin, 
Cardiovascular, Respiratory, Gastrointestinal and Neurological systems. Height 
(baseline only) and weight will also be measured and recorded. 
• A brief physical examination will include, at a minimum, assessments of the skin, 
lungs, cardiovascular system, and abdomen (liver and spleen). 
• Investigators should pay special attention to clinical signs related to previous serious 
illnesses. 
8.3.2. 
Vital Signs 
• Temperature, pulse rate, and blood pressure are to be assessed. 
• Blood pressure and pulse measurements are to be assessed in semi-supine position with 
a completely automated device. Manual techniques are only appropriate if an 
automated device is not available. 
• Blood pressure and pulse measurements should be preceded by at least 5 minutes of 
rest for the participant in a quiet setting without distractions (e.g., television, cell 
phones). 
Vital signs (to be taken before blood collection for laboratory tests) will consist of 1 
pulse and 3 blood pressure measurements (3 consecutive blood pressure readings at 
intervals of at least 1 minute). The average of the 3 blood pressure readings will be 
recorded. 
8.3.3. 
Electrocardiograms 
• Triplicate or Single 12-lead ECG will be obtained as outlined in the SoA (see 
Section 1.3) using an ECG machine that automatically calculates the heart rate and 
measures PR, QRS, QT, and corrected QTc intervals. Refer to Section 7.1.3 for 
QTc criteria and additional QTc readings that may be necessary. 
• At each time point at which triplicate ECG are required, 3 individual ECG tracings 
should be obtained as closely as possible in succession, but no more than 2 minutes 
apart. 
8.3.4. 
Clinical Safety Laboratory Assessments 
• See Appendix 2 for the list of clinical laboratory tests to be performed and to the 
SoA for the timing and frequency. 
• The investigator must review the laboratory report, document this review, and 
record any clinically significant changes occurring during the study as an AE. The 
laboratory reports must be filed with the source documents.  
• Abnormal laboratory findings associated with the underlying disease are not 
considered clinically significant, unless judged by the investigator to be more 
severe than expected for the participant's condition. 


TMF-14679521 
CONFIDENTIAL 
 
 
215253 
 
49 
Clinical Study Protocol template V15 dated 21-Dec-2020 
• All laboratory tests with values considered clinically significantly abnormal during 
participation in the study or within 24 weeks after the last dose of study intervention 
should be repeated until the values return to normal or baseline or are no longer 
considered significantly abnormal by the investigator or medical monitor.  
o If clinically significant/any values do not return to normal/baseline within a 
period of time judged reasonable by the investigator, the etiology should be 
identified and the sponsor notified. 
• All protocol-required laboratory tests, as defined in Section 8.3, must be conducted 
in accordance with the laboratory manual and the SoA (Section 1.3). 
• If laboratory values from non-protocol specified laboratory tests performed at the 
institution’s local laboratory require a change in participant management or are 
considered clinically significant by the investigator (e.g., SAE or AE or dose 
modification), then the results must be recorded. 
8.3.5. 
Pregnancy Testing 
• Refer to Section 5.1 Inclusion Criteria for pregnancy testing entry criteria. 
• Pregnancy testing (urine or serum as required by local regulations) should be 
conducted at monthly intervals during study intervention period. 
• Pregnancy testing (urine or serum as required by local regulations) should be 
conducted at the end of relevant systemic exposure 
• Additional serum or urine pregnancy tests may be performed, as determined 
necessary by the investigator or required by local regulation, to establish the 
absence of pregnancy at any time during the participant’s participation in the study. 
8.4. 
Adverse Events (AEs), Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) and 
Other Safety Reporting 
The definitions of adverse events (AE) or serious adverse events (SAEs) can be found in 
Section 10.3. 
The definitions of unsolicited and solicited adverse events can be found in Section 10.3. 
AEs will be reported by the participant (or, when appropriate, by a caregiver, surrogate, or 
the participant's legally authorized representative). 
The investigator and any qualified designees are responsible for detecting, documenting, 
and reporting events that meet the definition of an AE or SAE and remain responsible for 
following up all (see Section 7).  
The method of recording, evaluating, and assessing causality of AEs and SAEs and the 
procedures for completing and transmitting SAE reports are provided in Section 10.3.

Clinical Study Protocol template V15 dated 21-Dec-2020 
8.4.1. 
Time Period and Frequency for Collecting AE and SAE Information 
• All SAEs will be collected from the signing of the informed consent form (ICF)  until 
the follow-up visit at the time points specified in the SoA (Section 1.3).  
• All AEs will be collected from the start of study intervention until the follow-up visit 
at the time points specified in the SoA (Section 1.3).  
• Medical occurrences that begin before the start of study intervention but after obtaining 
informed consent will be recorded as Medical History/Current Medical Conditions not 
as AEs. 
• All SAEs will be recorded and reported to the sponsor or designee immediately and 
under no circumstance should this exceed 24 hours, as indicated in Appendix 3. The 
investigator will submit any updated SAE data to the sponsor within 24 hours of it 
being available. 
• Investigators are not obligated to actively seek information on AEs or SAEs after the 
conclusion of the study participation. However, if the investigator learns of any SAE, 
including a death, at any time after a participant has been discharged from the study, 
and he/she considers the event to be reasonably related to the study intervention or 
study participation, the investigator must promptly notify the sponsor. 
8.4.2. 
Method of Detecting AEs and SAEs 
Care will be taken not to introduce bias when detecting AE and/or SAE. Open-ended and 
non-leading verbal questioning of the participant is the preferred method to inquire about 
AE occurrence.  
8.4.3. 
Follow-up of AEs and SAEs 
After the initial AE/SAE report, the investigator is required to proactively follow each 
participant at subsequent visits/contacts. All SAEs will be followed until the event is 
resolved, stabilized, otherwise explained, or the participant is lost to follow-up (as defined 
in Section 7.3). Further information on follow-up procedures is given in Appendix 3 
(Section 10.3). 
8.4.4. 
Regulatory Reporting Requirements for SAEs 
• Prompt notification by the investigator to the sponsor of an SAE is essential so that 
legal obligations and ethical responsibilities towards the safety of participants and the 
safety of a study intervention under clinical investigation are met.  
• The sponsor has a legal responsibility to notify both the local regulatory authority and 
other regulatory agencies about the safety of a study intervention under clinical 
investigation. The sponsor will comply with country-specific regulatory requirements 
relating to safety reporting to the regulatory authority, Institutional Review Boards 
(IRB)/Independent Ethics Committees (IEC), and investigators. 
• An investigator who receives an investigator safety report describing an SAE or other 
specific safety information (e.g., summary or listing of SAEs) from the sponsor will

review and then file it along with the Investigator Brochure and will notify the 
IRB/IEC, if appropriate according to local requirements. 
• Investigator safety reports must be prepared for suspected unexpected serious adverse 
reactions (SUSAR) according to local regulatory requirements and sponsor policy and 
forwarded to investigators as necessary.

Clinical Study Protocol template V15 dated 21-Dec-2020 
The detection and characterization of antibodies to GSK1070806 will be performed using 
a validated assay method by or under the supervision of the sponsor. All samples collected 
for detection of antibodies to study intervention will also be evaluated for GSK1070806 
serum concentration to enable interpretation of the antibody data. Antibodies may be 
further characterized and/or evaluated for their ability to neutralize the activity of the study 
intervention(s). Samples may be stored for a maximum of 15 years (or according to local 
regulations) following the last participant’s last visit for the study at a facility selected by 
the sponsor to enable further analysis of immune responses to GSK1070806. 
8.9. 
Health Economics 
Health economic parameters are not evaluated in this study. 
9. 
STATISTICAL CONSIDERATIONS 
9.1. 
Statistical Hypotheses 
There are no formal hypotheses to be tested. 
9.2. 
Sample Size Determination 
Approximately 64 patients may need to be screened to obtain 48 randomized participants 
(approximately 30 and 18 participants in Groups 1 and 2, respectively). 
Participants who have withdrawn from the study, may be replaced at the discretion of the 
sponsor. 
The sample sizes for Groups 1 and 2 are selected to support preliminary assessment of the 
clinical effect, based on PCFB in the EASI for Groups 1 and 2.  
Operating characteristics of some criteria of interest for the both groups of the study have 
been calculated and presented below. 
Group 1: 
Based on 30 participants (20 administered GSK1070806 and 10 administered placebo), the 
probability of different criteria of interest are given in the table below.  
A Bayesian linear regression was used, assuming that the PCFB in the EASI follows a 
Normal distribution. The priors were as follows: 
• Placebo arm: a robust meta-analytic predictive (MAP) prior was constructed based 
on placebo PCFB in the EASI reported in recent clinical trials in AtD. The resulting 
mixture prior has 28.5% weight on a Normal (-31.56, SD=5.67), 21.5% weight on 
a Normal (-31.21, SD=11.00) and 50% weight on a Normal (-30, SD = 50), with an 
effective sample size of 14 participants (expected local-information-ratio (ELIR) 
method (Neuenschwander, 2020)) assuming a between-participant SD = 50. 
• GSK1070806 arm: a vague Normal prior was used, with mean = -30 and SD = 50, 
corresponding to an effective sample size (ELIR method) of 1 participant assuming 
a between-participant SD = 50.

Operating characteristics are provided below. A true PCFB in the EASI of -30% in the 
placebo arm was assumed, based on recent clinical trials in AtD. Various true PCFBs in 
the EASI for the GSK1070806 arm at Wk 12 were assumed, giving various true treatment 
differences. A between-participant SD of 50% was assumed for both GSK1070806 and 
Placebo arms.

Analysis Sets 
For the purposes of analysis, the following analysis sets are defined: 
Participant Analysis Set 
Description 
Screened 
All participants who signed the ICF and are screened for 
eligibility. 
Enrolled 
All participants in the Screened analysis set who entered the 
study. 
Randomized 
All participants in the Enrolled analysis set who are randomly 
assigned to study intervention in the study. 
Safety 
All participants in the Randomized analysis set who received the 
study intervention. 
 
Participants will be analyzed according to the intervention they 
actually received. 
PK 
All participants in the Safety analysis set who had at least 1 non-
missing PK assessment (Non-quantifiable values will be 
considered as non-missing values). 
 
Participants will be analyzed according to the intervention they 
actually received. 
9.4. 
Statistical Analyses 
The SAP will be finalized prior to unblinding of the study and will include a more 
technical and detailed description of the statistical analyses described in this section. This 
section is a summary of the planned statistical analyses of the most important endpoints 
including primary and key secondary endpoints. 
9.4.1. 
General Considerations 
9.4.1.1. 
Bayesian inference 
The main statistical analyses will be carried out in the Bayesian framework. Weakly 
informative priors may be used. In that case, a sensitivity analysis using vague priors will 
also be carried out. 
The following summaries of the posterior distribution will be reported: posterior median, 
95% equal tailed credible interval, posterior probabilities of the true treatment effect 
being greater/lower than pre-specified thresholds.  
9.4.1.2. 
Baseline definition 
The baseline value will be the latest pre-dose assessment with a non-missing value, 
including those from unscheduled visits. If time is not collected, Day 1 assessments are 
assumed to be taken prior to first dose and used as baseline. 
If baseline data is missing, no derivation will be performed, and baseline will be set to 
missing.

Clinical Study Protocol template V15 dated 21-Dec-2020 
9.4.1.3. 
Statistical methods 
The following statistical models will be used for the main analysis of the primary and 
secondary endpoints: 
- 
Bayesian repeated measures model for longitudinal continuous endpoints. 
- 
Bayesian logistic regression for binary endpoints at Wk 12. 
When needed, the underlying assumptions of the models will be assessed visually. 
Covariates such as baseline value may be added and will be stated in the SAP. 
9.4.1.4. 
Site pooling 
Data from all participating sites will be pooled prior to analysis. It is anticipated that 
participant accrual will be spread thinly across sites and summaries of data by site would 
unlikely be informative and will not, therefore, be provided. 
9.4.2. 
Primary Endpoint(s) 
The primary endpoint is the PCFB in the EASI at Wk 12 in Group 1. The population-
level summary is the treatment difference (GSK1070806 – placebo) in PCFB in the EASI 
scores at Wk 12. 
The analysis will be based on the Safety analysis set. Participants will be analysed 
according to the treatment they received. 
A Bayesian repeated measures model will be used, including study treatment, visit, study 
treatment-by-visit interactions, baseline EASI value, baseline-by-visit interactions and 
subject-level repeated measures.  
Priors defined in Section 9.2 will be used for the analyses. For the MAP prior, details of 
the included studies will be documented in the SAP. An inverse Wishart prior will be 
used for the within-subject unstructured covariance. Other options may be investigated to 
determine an appropriate covariance structure in case of issues. 
A Bayesian repeated measures analysis will be conducted under the missing-at-random 
assumption.  
Further details on any sensitivity estimators used to assess the primary objective will be 
provided in the SAP. 
9.4.3. 
Secondary Endpoint(s) 
9.4.3.1. 
Safety Endpoints 
No formal statistical testing will be performed on safety data. 
All safety evaluations will be based on the Safety analysis set and will be reported for group 
1 and 2 together. 
Clinical interpretation will be based upon review and displays of adverse events, laboratory 
values and vital signs. The principal consideration in this evaluation will be the

Interim Analysis 
9.5.1. 
Routine pharmacovigilance 
In line with routine pharmacovigilance, the internal GSK107086 SRT will review blinded 
safety data at appropriate intervals during the study. Data reviewed will include but not 
necessarily be limited to clinical laboratory parameters, vital signs and adverse events. 
The GSK107086 SRT will include members of the study team. 
9.5.2. 
Planned Unblinded Interim Analyses 
Interim analyses for Groups 1 and 2 may be carried out and will be conducted by a DRC, 
(see Section 10.1.5). The composition and conduct of the DRC are described in the DRC 
Charter.  
All interim analyses will be based on unblinded data and outputs will be prepared by the 
sponsor study statistics and programming team and the clinical pharmacology modelling 
and simulation team (as required). The randomisation schedules and unblinded datasets 
will be stored on internal restricted drives. The GSK study team, with the exception of 
the statistics and programming and also Clinical Pharmacology and Modelling 
Simulation (CPMS) teams, will not have access to an unblinded copy of the 
randomisation schedule during the course of the trial. 
Interim Analyses for Group 1: 
Group 1 unblinded individual data and data aggregated by treatment group may be 
reviewed when approximatively 50% participants in Group 1 have completed Wk 12 (or 
have withdrawn prior to Wk 12). A potential outcome of the interim analysis might be to 
stop the study (Group 1 and Group 2). 
Additional Group 1 unblinded individual data and data aggregated by treatment group 
may be reviewed during the conduct of the study. The purpose will be only for internal 
decisions and will have no impact on the study conduct. Recruitment will continue while 
the interim analyses are being conducted, except in the case of a safety concern. 
Interim Analysis for Group 2: 
Group 2 unblinded individual data and data aggregated by treatment group may be 
reviewed when approximatively 30 participants in Group 1 have been randomized, 
although it could be done earlier. The potential outcome of this interim analysis is to stop 
recruitment to Group 2. Additional reviews of Group 2 unblinded data by treatment group 
may be carried out during the conduct of the study. The purpose will be only for internal 
decisions and will have no impact on the study conduct. Recruitment will continue while 
the interim analysis is being conducted, except in the case of a safety concern.

Data Protection 
• Participants will be assigned a unique identifier by the sponsor. Any participant 
records or datasets that are transferred to the sponsor will contain the identifier 
only; participant names or any information which would make the participant 
identifiable will not be transferred.  
• The participant must be informed that his/her personal study-related data will be 
used by the sponsor in accordance with local data protection law. The level of 
disclosure must also be explained to the participant who will be required to give 
consent for their data to be used as described in the informed consent.  
• The participant must be informed that his/her medical records may be examined 
by Clinical Quality Assurance auditors or other authorized personnel appointed by 
the sponsor, by appropriate IRB/IEC members, and by inspectors from regulatory 
authorities. 
 
10.1.5. 
Committees Structure 
Safety Review Team (SRT): Participant safety will be continuously monitored by an 
internal SRT, which includes safety signal detection at any time during the study. Blinded 
data will be reviewed. The SRT will include a subset of the 215253 study team and will 
operate to a charter. 
Data Review Committee (DRC): The study will utilise a DRC to conduct the Interim 
Analyses described in Section 9.5. Full details of the decisions to be made, membership 
of the committee and how study integrity will be maintained will be documented in the 
DRC Charter. Details of the DRC Charter (and statistical analysis plan, SAP) will outline 
the decision-making criteria. The DRC membership will be comprised of a predefined 
subset of project team members and senior GSK stakeholders to ensure that persons with 
the appropriate expertise and knowledge conduct and interpret interim reviews of data. 
No one external to the DRC will see unblinded study data. No study personnel with direct 
contact with sites or site staff will be involved in the DRC. Further details of how the 
DRC will ensure data integrity and appropriate quality control of data prior to decision 
making are also included. 
The DRC will also conduct any unplanned interim analyses that become necessary during 
the study. These analyses will be documented through an amendment of the DRC charter 
and, if necessary, a protocol amendment. 
10.1.6. 
 Dissemination of Clinical Study Data 
• Where required by applicable regulatory requirements, an investigator signatory 
will be identified for the approval of the clinical study report.  The investigator 
will be provided reasonable access to statistical tables, figures, and relevant

data). The investigator is responsible for verifying that data entries are accurate 
and correct by physically or electronically signing the CRF.  
• Guidance on completion of CRFs will be provided in the CRF completion 
guidelines. 
• Quality tolerance limits (QTLs) will be pre-defined in the Quality Tolerance 
Limits Report to identify systematic issues that can impact participant safety 
and/or reliability of study results. These pre-defined parameters will be monitored 
during and at the end of the study and all deviations from the QTLs and remedial 
actions taken will be summarized in the clinical study report. 
• The investigator must permit study-related monitoring, audits, IRB/IEC review, 
and regulatory agency inspections and provide direct access to source data 
documents.  
• Monitoring details describing strategy including definition of study critical data 
items and processes (e.g., risk-based initiatives in operations and quality such as 
Risk Management and Mitigation Strategies and Analytical Risk-Based 
Monitoring), methods, responsibilities and requirements, including handling of 
noncompliance issues and monitoring techniques (central, remote, or on-site 
monitoring) are provided in the Monitoring Plan.

10.3. 
Appendix 3: AEs and SAEs: Definitions and Procedures for 
Recording, Evaluating, Follow-up, and Reporting 
10.3.1. 
Definition of AE 
AE Definition 
• An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, 
temporally associated with the use of a study intervention, whether or not 
considered related to the study intervention. 
NOTE: An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an 
abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) 
temporally associated with the use of a study intervention. 
 
Definition of Unsolicited and Solicited AE 
• An unsolicited adverse event is an adverse event that was not solicited using a 
Participant Diary and that is communicated by a participant/participant’s 
parent(s)/legally acting representative (LAR)(s) who has signed the informed 
consent. Unsolicited AEs include serious and non-serious AEs. 
• Potential unsolicited AEs may be medically attended (i.e., symptoms or illnesses 
requiring a hospitalisation, or emergency room visit, or visit to/by a health care 
provider). The participants/ participant’s parent(s)/LAR(s) will be instructed to 
contact the site as soon as possible to report medically attended event(s), as well as 
any events that, though not medically attended, are of participant/ parental /LAR’s 
concern. Detailed information about reported unsolicited AEs will be collected by 
qualified site personnel and documented in the participant’s records. 
• Unsolicited AEs that are not medically attended nor perceived as a concern by 
participant/participant’s parent(s)/LAR(s) will be collected during interview with 
the participants/participant’s parent(s)/LAR(s) and by review of available medical 
records at the next visit. 
• Solicited AEs are predefined local at the injection site and systemic events for 
which the participant is specifically questioned, and which are noted by the 
participant in their diary.  
 
Events Meeting the AE Definition 
• Any abnormal laboratory test results (hematology, clinical chemistry, or urinalysis) 
or other safety assessments (e.g., ECG, radiological scans, vital signs 
measurements), including those that worsen from baseline, considered clinically 
significant in the medical and scientific judgment of the investigator (i.e., not 
related to progression of underlying disease). 


TMF-14679521 
CONFIDENTIAL 
 
 
215253 
 
71 
Clinical Study Protocol template V15 dated 21-Dec-2020 
Events Meeting the AE Definition 
• Exacerbation of a chronic or intermittent pre-existing condition including either an 
increase in frequency and/or intensity of the condition. 
• New conditions detected or diagnosed after study intervention administration even 
though it may have been present before the start of the study. 
• Signs, symptoms, or the clinical sequelae of a suspected intervention- intervention 
interaction. 
• Signs, symptoms, or the clinical sequelae of a suspected overdose of either study 
intervention or a concomitant medication. Overdose per se will not be reported as 
an AE/SAE unless it is an intentional overdose taken with possible suicidal/self-
harming intent. Such overdoses should be reported regardless of sequelae. 
• "Lack of efficacy" or "failure of expected pharmacological action" per se will not 
be reported as an AE or SAE. Such instances will be captured in the efficacy 
assessments. However, the signs, symptoms, and/or clinical sequelae resulting from 
lack of efficacy will be reported as an AE or SAE if they fulfil the definition of an 
AE or SAE.  
 
Events NOT Meeting the AE Definition  
• Any clinically significant abnormal laboratory findings or other abnormal safety 
assessments which are associated with the underlying disease, unless judged by the 
investigator to be more severe than expected for the participant’s condition. 
• The disease/disorder being studied or expected progression, signs, or symptoms of 
the disease/disorder being studied, unless more severe than expected for the 
participant’s condition. 
• Medical or surgical procedure (e.g., endoscopy, appendectomy): the condition that 
leads to the procedure is the AE. 
• Situations in which an untoward medical occurrence did not occur (social and/or 
convenience admission to a hospital). 
• Anticipated day-to-day fluctuations of pre-existing disease(s) or condition(s) 
present or detected at the start of the study that do not worsen.

10.3.2. 
Definition of SAE 
An SAE is defined as any serious adverse event that, at any dose: 
a. Results in death 
b. Is life-threatening 
The term 'life-threatening' in the definition of 'serious' refers to an event in which the 
participant was at risk of death at the time of the event. It does not refer to an event, 
which hypothetically might have caused death, if it were more severe. 
c. Requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization 
• In general, hospitalization signifies that the participant has been admitted 
(usually involving at least an overnight stay) at the hospital or emergency ward 
for observation and/or treatment that would not have been appropriate in the 
physician’s office or outpatient setting. Complications that occur during 
hospitalization are AE. If a complication prolongs hospitalization or fulfills any 
other serious criteria, the event is serious. When in doubt as to whether 
“hospitalization” occurred or was necessary, the AE should be considered 
serious. 
• Hospitalization for elective treatment of a pre-existing condition that did not 
worsen from baseline is not considered an AE. 
d. Results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity 
• The term disability means a substantial disruption of a person’s ability to 
conduct normal life functions. 
• This definition is not intended to include experiences of relatively minor 
medical significance such as uncomplicated headache, nausea, vomiting, 
diarrhea, influenza, and accidental trauma (e.g. sprained ankle) which may 
interfere with or prevent everyday life functions but do not constitute a 
substantial disruption. 
e. Is a congenital anomaly/birth defect 
f. Is a suspected transmission of any infectious agent via an authorised medicinal 
product 
g. Other situations: 
• Possible Hy’s Law case: ALT≥3xULN AND total bilirubin ≥2xULN (>35% 
direct bilirubin) or international normalized ratio (INR) >1.5 must be reported 
as SAE 
• Medical or scientific judgment should be exercised by the investigator in 
deciding whether SAE reporting is appropriate in other situations such as 
significant medical events that may jeopardize the participant or may require 
medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the other outcomes listed in 
the above definition. These events should usually be considered serious.

o Examples of such events include invasive or malignant cancers, 
intensive treatment for allergic bronchospasm, blood dyscrasias,  
convulsions, or development of intervention dependency or intervention 
abuse. 
 
10.3.3. 
Definition of Cardiovascular Events 
Cardiovascular Events (CV) Definition: 
Investigators will be required to fill out the specific CV event page of the CRF for the 
following AEs and SAEs: 
• Myocardial infarction/unstable angina 
• Congestive heart failure 
• Arrhythmias 
• Valvulopathy 
• Pulmonary hypertension 
• Cerebrovascular events/stroke and transient ischemic attack 
• Peripheral arterial thromboembolism 
• Deep venous thrombosis/pulmonary embolism 
• Revascularization 
 
10.3.4. 
Recording and Follow-Up of AE and SAE 
AE and SAE Recording 
• When an AE/SAE occurs, it is the responsibility of the investigator to review all 
documentation (e.g. hospital progress notes, laboratory, and diagnostics reports) 
related to the event. 
• The investigator will then record all relevant AE/SAE information. 
• It is not acceptable for the investigator to send photocopies of the participant’s 
medical records to GSK in lieu of completion of the GSK required form. 
• There may be instances when copies of medical records for certain cases are 
requested by GSK. In this case, all participant identifiers, with the exception of the 
participant number, will be redacted on the copies of the medical records before 
submission to GSK. 
• The investigator will attempt to establish a diagnosis of the event based on signs, 
symptoms, and/or other clinical information. Whenever possible, the diagnosis (not 
the individual signs/symptoms) will be documented as the AE/SAE.

74 
Clinical Study Protocol template V15 dated 21-Dec-2020 
Assessment of Intensity 
The investigator will make an assessment of intensity for each AE and SAE reported 
during the study and assign it to 1 of the following categories:  
• Mild: An event that is easily tolerated by the participant, causing minimal 
discomfort and not interfering with everyday activities. 
• Moderate: An event that causes sufficient discomfort and interferes with normal 
everyday activities. 
• Severe: An event that prevents normal everyday activities. An AE that is assessed 
as severe should not be confused with an SAE. Severe is a category utilized for 
rating the intensity of an event; and both AE and SAE can be assessed as severe. 
• An event is defined as ‘serious’ when it meets at least 1 of the predefined outcomes 
as described in the definition of an SAE, NOT when it is rated as severe. 
 
Assessment of Causality 
The investigator is obligated to assess the relationship between study intervention and 
each occurrence of each AE/SAE. 
• A "reasonable possibility" of a relationship conveys that there are facts, evidence, 
and/or arguments to suggest a causal relationship, rather than a relationship cannot 
be ruled out. 
• The investigator will use clinical judgment to determine the relationship. 
• Alternative causes, such as underlying disease(s), concomitant therapy, and other 
risk factors, as well as the temporal relationship of the event to study intervention 
administration will be considered and investigated. 
• The investigator will also consult the Investigator’s Brochure (IB) and/or Product 
Information, for marketed products, in his/her assessment. 
• For each AE/SAE, the investigator must document in the medical notes that he/she 
has reviewed the AE/SAE and has provided an assessment of causality. 
• There may be situations in which an SAE has occurred and the investigator has 
minimal information to include in the initial report to GSK. However, it is very 
important that the investigator always make an assessment of causality for 
every event before the initial transmission of the SAE data to GSK. 
• The investigator may change his/her opinion of causality in light of follow-up 
information and send an SAE follow-up report with the updated causality 
assessment. 
• 
The causality assessment is one of the criteria used when determining regulatory 
reporting requirements.

Clinical Study Protocol template V15 dated 21-Dec-2020 
Follow-up of AE and SAE 
• The investigator is obligated to perform or arrange for the conduct of supplemental 
measurements and/or evaluations as medically indicated or as requested by GSK to 
elucidate the nature and/or causality of the AE or SAE as fully as possible. This 
may include additional laboratory tests or investigations, histopathological 
examinations, or consultation with other health care professionals. 
• If a participant dies during participation in the study or during a recognized follow-
up period, the investigator will provide GSK with a copy of any post-mortem 
findings including histopathology.  
• New or updated information will be recorded in the originally submitted 
documents. 
• 
The investigator will submit any updated SAE data to GSK within 24 hours of 
receipt of the information. 
 
10.3.5. 
Reporting of SAE to GSK 
SAE Reporting to GSK via Electronic Data Collection Tool 
• The primary mechanism for reporting SAE to GSK will be the electronic data 
collection tool. 
• If the electronic system is unavailable, then the site will use the paper SAE data 
collection tool (see next section) to report the event within 24 hours. 
• The site will enter the SAE data into the electronic system as soon as it becomes 
available. 
• After the study is completed at a given site, the electronic data collection tool will 
be taken off-line to prevent the entry of new data or changes to existing data. 
• If a site receives a report of a new SAE from a study participant or receives updated 
data on a previously reported SAE after the electronic data collection tool has been 
taken off-line, then the site can report this information on a paper SAE form (see 
next section) or to the contacts for SAE reporting by telephone. 
• 
Contacts for SAE reporting can be found in the SRM.

76 
Clinical Study Protocol template V15 dated 21-Dec-2020 
SAE Reporting to GSK via Paper Data Collection Tool 
• Facsimile transmission of the SAE paper data collection tool is the preferred 
method to transmit this information to the contacts for SAE reporting. 
• In rare circumstances and in the absence of facsimile equipment, notification by 
telephone is acceptable with a copy of the SAE data collection tool sent by 
overnight mail or courier service. 
• Initial notification via telephone does not replace the need for the investigator to 
complete and sign the SAE data collection tool within the designated reporting time 
frames. 
• 
Contacts for SAE reporting can be found in the Study Reference Manual.

Definitions: 
Woman of Childbearing Potential (WOCBP) 
Women in the following categories are considered WOCBP (fertile): 
1. Following menarche 
2. From the time of menarche until becoming post-menopausal unless permanently 
sterile (see below) 
Notes: 
• A postmenopausal state is defined as no menses for 12 months without an alternative 
medical cause. 
o A high FSH level in the postmenopausal range may be used to confirm a 
postmenopausal state in women not using hormonal contraception or 
hormonal replacement therapy (HRT). However, in the absence of 12 months 
of amenorrhea, confirmation with more than one FSH measurement is 
required.  
o Females on HRT and whose menopausal status is in doubt will be required to 
use one of the non-estrogen hormonal highly effective contraception methods 
if they wish to continue their HRT during the study. Otherwise, they must 
discontinue HRT to allow confirmation of postmenopausal status before study 
enrolment. 
• Permanent sterilization methods (for the purpose of this study) include: 
o Documented hysterectomy 
o Documented bilateral salpingectomy 
o Documented bilateral oophorectomy 
For individuals with permanent infertility due to an alternate medical cause other than the 
above, (e.g., Mullerian agenesis, androgen insensitivity, gonadal dysgenesis), investigator 
discretion should be applied to determining study entry. 
 
Note: Documentation can come from the site personnel’s review of the participant’s 
medical records, medical examination, or medical history interview. 
 
If fertility is unclear (e.g., amenorrhea in adolescents or athletes) and a menstrual cycle 
cannot be confirmed before first dose of study intervention, additional evaluation should 
be considered. 
Woman of Nonchildbearing Potential (WONCBP) 
Women in the following categories are considered WONCBP:

b) Documented bilateral salpingectomy 
c) Documented bilateral oophorectomy 
For individuals with permanent infertility due to an alternate medical cause other than the 
above, (e.g., Mullerian agenesis, androgen insensitivity, gonadal dysgenesis), investigator 
discretion should be applied to determining study entry. 
 
Note: Documentation can come from the site personnel’s review of the participant’s 
medical records, medical examination, or medical history interview. 
2. Postmenopausal female 
A postmenopausal state is defined as no menses for 12 months without an alternative 
medical cause. 
o A high FSH level in the postmenopausal range may be used to confirm a 
postmenopausal state in women not using hormonal contraception or 
hormonal replacement therapy (HRT). However, in the absence of 12 months 
of amenorrhea, confirmation with more than one FSH measurement is 
required. 
o Females on HRT and whose menopausal status is in doubt must discontinue 
HRT to allow confirmation of postmenopausal status before study enrolment.

Contraception Guidance: 
CONTRACEPTIVESa ALLOWED DURING THE STUDY INCLUDE: 
Highly Effective Methodsb That Have Low User Dependency Failure rate of <1% per year 
when used consistently and correctly. 
• 
Implantable progestogen-only hormone contraception associated with inhibition of 
ovulationc 
• 
Intrauterine device (IUD) 
• 
Intrauterine hormone-releasing system (IUS)c 
• 
Bilateral tubal occlusion 
• Azoospermic partner (vasectomized or due to a medical cause) 
Azoospermia is a highly effective contraceptive method provided that the partner is the 
sole sexual partner of the woman of childbearing potential and the absence of sperm has 
been confirmed. If not, an additional highly effective method of contraception should be 
used. Spermatogenesis cycle is approximately 90 days. 
Note: documentation of azoospermia for a male participant can come from the site 
personnel’s review of the participant’s medical records, medical examination, or medical 
history interview.

Sexual abstinence 
Sexual abstinence is considered a highly effective method only if defined as refraining from 
heterosexual intercourse during the entire period of risk associated with the study intervention. 
The reliability of sexual abstinence needs to be evaluated in relation to the duration of the study 
and the preferred and usual lifestyle of the participant. 
a. 
Contraceptive use by men or women should be consistent with local regulations regarding the use of 
contraceptive methods for those participating in clinical studies. 
b. 
Failure rate of <1% per year when used consistently and correctly. Typical use failure rates differ from those 
when used consistently and correctly. 
c. 
Male condoms must be used in addition to hormonal contraception. If locally required, in accordance with 
Clinical Trial Facilitation Group (CTFG) guidelines, acceptable contraceptive methods are limited to those 
which inhibit ovulation as the primary mode of action. 
 
Notes: Periodic abstinence (calendar, sympto-thermal, post-ovulation methods), withdrawal (coitus interruptus), 
spermicides only, and lactational amenorrhea method (LAM) are not acceptable methods of contraception. 
Male condom and female condom should not be used together (due to risk of failure from friction)

Appendix 5: Genetics 
USE/ANALYSIS OF DNA 
• Genetic variation may impact a participant’s response to study intervention, 
susceptibility, severity and progression of disease. Variable response to study 
intervention may be due to genetic determinants that impact drug absorption, 
distribution, metabolism, and excretion; mechanism of action of the drug; disease 
etiology; and/or molecular subtype of the disease being treated. Therefore, where 
local regulations and IRB/IEC allow, a blood sample will be collected for DNA 
analysis 
• DNA samples will be used for research related to GSK1070806 or atopic dermatitis 
and related diseases. They may also be used to develop tests/assays including 
diagnostic tests) related to GSK1070806 and/or atopic dermatitis. Genetic research 
may consist of the analysis of one or more candidate genes or the analysis of genetic 
markers throughout the genome (as appropriate). 
• Additional analyses of DNA samples may be conducted if it is hypothesized that this 
may help further understand the clinical data.  
• The samples may be analyzed as part of a multi-study assessment of genetic factors 
involved in the response to GSK1070806 or study interventions of this class. The 
results of genetic analyses may be reported in the clinical study report or in a separate 
study summary. 
• The sponsor will store the DNA samples in a secure storage space with adequate 
measures to protect confidentiality.  
• The samples will be retained while research on GSK1070806 (or study interventions 
of this class) or atopic dermatitis continues but no longer than 15 years after the last 
participant last visit or other period as per local requirements.

Required Actions and Follow-up Assessments  
Actions 
Follow-up Assessments 
• Immediately discontinue study intervention  
• Report the event to GSK within 24 hours 
• Complete the liver event CRF and complete 
an SAE data collection tool if the event also 
meets the criteria for an SAE2 
• Perform liver chemistry event follow-up 
assessments  
• Monitor the participant until liver chemistries 
resolve, stabilize, or return to within Baseline 
(see MONITORING below) 
• Do not restart/rechallenge participant with 
study intervention unless allowed per 
protocol and GSK Medical Governance 
approval is granted (see below).  
• If restart/rechallenge not allowed per 
protocol or not granted, permanently 
discontinue study intervention and continue 
participant in the study for any protocol 
specified follow-up assessments  
MONITORING: 
For bilirubin or INR criteria:  
• Viral hepatitis serology4 
• Obtain INR and recheck with each liver 
chemistry assessment until the 
transaminases values show downward 
trend 
• Obtain blood sample for 
pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis, with 
timing to be guided by clinical 
pharmacokinetics representative on a 
case by case basis, after last dose5 
• Serum creatine phosphokinase (CPK) 
and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). 
• Fractionate bilirubin, if total bilirubin 
2xULN 
• Obtain complete blood count with 
differential to assess eosinophilia

Liver Chemistry Stopping Criteria 
• Repeat liver chemistries (include ALT, AST, 
alkaline phosphatase, bilirubin and INR) and 
perform liver event follow-up assessments 
within 24 hours 
• Monitor participant twice weekly until liver 
chemistries resolve, stabilize or return to 
within Baseline  
• A specialist or hepatology consultation is 
recommended 
For All other criteria:  
• Repeat liver chemistries (include ALT, AST, 
alkaline phosphatase, bilirubin and INR) and 
perform liver event follow-up assessments 
within 24-72 hours  
• Monitor participant weekly until liver 
chemistries resolve, stabilize or return to 
within Baseline 
remedies, other over the counter 
medications. 
• Record alcohol use on the liver event 
alcohol intake case report form (CRF) 
page  
For bilirubin or INR criteria: 
• Anti-nuclear antibody, anti-smooth 
muscle antibody, Type 1 anti-liver kidney 
microsomal antibodies, and quantitative 
total immunoglobulin G (IgG) or gamma 
globulins. 
• Serum acetaminophen adduct high 
performance liquid chromatography 
(HPLC) assay (quantifies potential 
acetaminophen contribution to liver 
injury in participants with definite or likely 
acetaminophen use in the preceding 
week [James, 2009]).  
• Liver imaging (ultrasound, magnetic 
resonance, or computerised 
tomography) and /or liver biopsy to 
evaluate liver disease; complete Liver 
Imaging and/or Liver Biopsy CRF pages. 
1. Serum bilirubin fractionation should be performed if testing is available. If serum bilirubin fractionation is not 
immediately available, discontinue study intervention for that participant if ALT  3xULN and bilirubin  2xULN. 
Additionally, if serum bilirubin fractionation testing is unavailable, record presence of detectable urinary 
bilirubin on dipstick, indicating direct bilirubin elevations and suggesting liver injury.  
2. All events of ALT  3xULN and bilirubin  2xULN (>35% direct bilirubin) or ALT  3xULN and INR>1.5, which 
may indicate severe liver injury (possible ‘Hy’s Law’), must be reported as an SAE (excluding studies of 
hepatic impairment or cirrhosis); the INR threshold value stated will not apply to participants receiving 
anticoagulants 
3. New or worsening symptoms believed to be related to liver injury (such as fatigue, nausea, vomiting, right upper 
quadrant pain or tenderness, or jaundice) or believed to be related to hypersensitivity (such as fever, rash or 
eosinophilia) 
4. Includes: Hepatitis A Immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibody; HbsAg and HBcAb; Hepatitis CRNA; Cytomegalovirus 
IgM antibody; Epstein-Barr viral capsid antigen IgM antibody (or if unavailable, obtain heterophile antibody or 
monospot testing); Hepatitis E IgM antibody  
5. PK sample may not be required for participants known to be receiving placebo or non-GSK comparator 
interventions. Record the date/time of the PK blood sample draw and the date/time of the last dose of study 
intervention prior to pk blood sample draw on the CRF. If the date or time of the last dose is unclear, provide the 
participant’s best approximation. If the date/time of the last dose cannot be approximated OR a PK sample cannot 
be collected in the time period indicated above, do not obtain a PK sample. Instructions for sample handling and 
shipping are in the SRM.

Appendix 8: Protocol Amendment History 
The Protocol Amendment Summary of Changes Table for the current amendment is 
located directly before the Table of Contents (TOC). 
Summary of Previous Amendments 
Amendment 1 25-Feb-2022 
This amendment is considered to be substantial based on the criteria set forth in Article 
10(a) of Directive 2001/20/EC of the European Parliament and the Council of the 
European Union. 
Overall Rationale for Amendment 1:  
To state that participants who have contracted COVID-19 during the study do not 
necessarily need to be immediately excluded. 
In addition to the changes tabulated below, minor edits/corrections have also been made 
throughout to provide refinement and clarification. 
Section # and Name 
Description of Change 
Brief Rationale 
Section 2.3.1: Risk 
Assessment (Procedural 
Risk) - Risk associated with 
attending an investigative 
site during the Coronavirus 
strain 19 (COVID-19) 
Pandemic 
 
Three changes: 
Participant monitoring: 
COVID test at Wk 12 (was 
removed to ensure 
consistency with the intent 
described in SoA). 
 
 
 
COVID-19 Contingency 
Plan: 
ORIGINAL: Any participant 
presenting with COVID-19-
related symptoms and/or 
having a positive SARS-
CoV-2 test will be excluded 
from (further) 
participation in the trial 
and will receive follow-up 
medical attention as per 
local procedure. 
REVISED: Any participant 
presenting with COVID-19-
 
(1) As per the Schedule of 
Activities: Participants 
need only have a 
mandated COVID test at 
Screening, prior to dosing 
(from Day -4 to Day 1), and 
at the End of Study Visit at 
Week 24 (or at early 
withdrawal).  
(2) A confirmed positive 
SARS-CoV-2 test is also 
required (as evidence of 
COVID-19 infection) In 
addition to initially 
presenting with COVID-19-
related symptoms. 
(3) Given there have been 
changes to circumstance 
and management options 
since start of the COVID 
pandemic, participants 
who have presented with 
COVID-19 and have a

Description of Change 
Brief Rationale 
related symptoms (2) and 
having a positive SARS-
CoV-2 test (3) may 
continue in the study (or 
may be temporarily 
suspended during 
recovery) if the 
investigator judges this to 
be possible (e.g. if the 
participant is able to 
adhere to local 
management guidance).  If 
a participant needs to be 
excluded from (further) 
participation in the trial 
s/he will receive follow-up 
medical attention as per 
local procedure. 
SARS-CoV-2 positive test,  
do not necessarily need to 
be immediately excluded 
from the study. The 
Investigator will judge 
whether the participant 
will be able to continue or 
not.  There is a return to 
the emphasis of continued 
monitoring within-study.  
Note that Study 215253 
administers only a single 
dose of this long-acting, 
novel immunosuppressive 
and so it is important to 
ensure continued safety 
monitoring (see Section 
7.2). 
Section 6.3.1. Controlled 
Early Access to Unblinded 
PK and PKPD Data 
ADDED New Subsection 
6.3.1. Controlled Early 
Access to Unblinded PK 
and PKPD Data 
Designated independent 
representative(s) may be 
unblinded for performing 
population PK and PKPD 
dataset preparation and 
draft PK and PKPD model 
development at one or 
more time 
points throughout the trial 
using scrambled (random 
reassignment of subject 
identification numbers) PK 
and PKPD unblinded 
datasets. 
To allow controlled early 
access to unblinded PK and 
PKPD data 
Section 9.4. Statistical 
Analyses 
The SAP will be finalized 
prior to unblinding of the 
study prior to first 
participant first visit (FPFV) 
The SAP will be finalized 
before any unblinding of 
the study (this change 
neither compromises study 
conduct nor data 
integrity).

Section # and Name 
Description of Change 
Brief Rationale 
Section 9.5.2. Planned 
Unblinded Interim Analysis 
Added: Group 1 unblinded 
individual data and data 
aggregated by treatment 
group may be reviewed 
when approximatively 50% 
participants in Group 1 
have been completed Wk 
12 (or have withdrawn 
prior to Wk 12). 
Added: Group 2 unblinded 
individual data and data 
aggregated by treatment 
group… 
To also enable unblinded 
individual data to be 
reviewed at the interim 
analysis. Study integrity 
will be maintained by using 
dummy participant IDs.

INTRODUCTION 
The purpose of this SAP is to describe the planned analyses to be included in the Clinical 
Pharmacology Study Report (CPSR) for Study 215253. Details of the planned interim 
analysis, as well as the final analyses, are provided. 
1.1. 
Objectives, Estimands and Endpoints 
Objectives 
Endpoints 
Primary 
 
• To compare the clinical effect of a 
single intravenous (IV) infusion of 2 
mg/kg of GSK1070806 versus placebo 
in moderate to severe Atopic

BN population (Group 1). 
• Change from Baseline (CFB) in the 
EASI at Week 12. 
• EASI 50/75/90 defined as ≥ 
50/75/90% reduction in the EASI 
from Baseline at Week 12. 
• 
Investigator Global Assessment 
(IGA) score of 0 or 1 at Week 12. 
• To estimate the clinical effect of 
GSK1070806 in the dupilumab 
inadequate responder (Dupi-IR) 
population (Group 2). 
• 
PCFB in the EASI at Week 12. 
• To assess safety and tolerability 
(GSK1070806 versus placebo) in the 
combined AtD population (Groups 1 
and 2). 
• Incidence of serious adverse events 
(SAEs) and adverse events (AEs). 
• Incidence of clinically important 
findings in: 
• Vital signs 
• Electrocardiogram 
• Laboratory: haematology, clinical 
chemistry and urinalysis. 
• To assess anti-drug antibody (ADA) 
formation in the combined AtD 
population (Groups 1 and 2). 
• Incidence of ADAs

The primary estimand is described by the following attributes: 
o Population: Biologic Naïve (BN) participants with moderate to severe Atopic 
Dermatitis. 
o Treatment condition: A single 2 mg/kg one-hour IV infusion of either 
GSK1070806 or placebo at Day 1. 
o Variable / endpoint: Percent change from Baseline to Week 12 in the EASI. 
o Summary measure: Difference (GSK1070806 - placebo) in mean percent change 
from baseline in EASI at Week 12. 
o Intercurrent events: Use of Rescue Therapy. It will be handled with a hypothetical 
strategy, i.e. values after use of Rescue Therapy will be set to missing.  
 
Rescue Therapy is defined in this document as the use of any prohibited medication 
(as defined in the protocol section 6.8.2) that is considered as an important protocol 
deviation. 
Rationale for estimand: The study is designed to evaluate the treatment effect attributable 
to GSK1070806. It is important that this effect is not confounded by the effect of other 
treatments. Therefore, for participants who use any Rescue Therapy, a hypothetical 
strategy will be used in order to estimate the treatment effect in the absence of use of 
Rescue Therapy.  
1.2. 
Study Design 
Overview of Study Design and Key Features 
Design 
Features 
• 
Multi-centre, randomized, double-blind, parallel group, placebo-
controlled study of GSK1070806 administered as a single 2 mg/kg 
IV infusion to investigate the efficacy and safety in moderate-severe 
AtD participants. The primary efficacy endpoint will be measured at 
Week 12.

Overview of Study Design and Key Features 
• 
The overall study duration for an individual participant is not 
expected to exceed 28 weeks (Screening is 4 weeks; Treatment 
Period is 12 weeks; Follow-Up Period is 12 weeks). The End of 
Study (Week 24, Day 169) would allow for continued safety 
monitoring beyond the Week 12 primary endpoint. 
• 
The study will assess the impact of GSK1070806 in two groups of 
patients with moderate-to-severe AtD. Groups 1 and 2 will be 
conducted in parallel. 
• 
Group 1: Patients naïve to biologic treatment (and who have 
failed topical therapies). 
• 
Group 2: Patients who have not adequately responded (or have 
been intolerant) to dupilumab (Dupixent). 
 
Study 
interventio
n 
• 
All participants must meet all clinical criteria at the point of 
randomization (for subsequent dosing on Day 1) and must stop using 
topical treatments (corticosteroids, calcineurin inhibitors or 
Phosphodiesterase 4 [PDEIV] inhibitors) for at least 7 days (starting 
on Day -7) prior to dosing on Day 1. 
• 
GSK1070806 and placebo are double blinded. Participants will 
receive either GSK1070806 or placebo on Day 1.  
Study 
interventio
n 
Assignment 
• 
Approximately 64 patients are expected to be screened to achieve 
approximately 48 randomly assigned participants.  
• 
Group 1: N = 30.  20 participants will receive GSK1070806, 10 
will receive placebo in a 2:1 ratio. Approximately 40 BN 
patients may need to be consented for screening to provide 30 
randomized. 
• 
Group 2: N = 18. 15 participants will receive GSK1070806, 3 
will receive placebo in a 5:1 ratio. Approximately 24 Dupi-IR 
patients may need to be consented for screening to provide 18 
randomized. 
Interim 
Analysis 
The details of the planned analysis and timing will be documented in the 
Interim Charter. Refer to Section 4.7 for details. 
Analyses 
• 
Primary completion analysis: when the last participant in Group 1 
completes the Week 12 visit or withdraws from the study prior to 
Week 12.

(OPS)), the Safety Analysis Set will be used for all Efficacy, Safety, Biomarker, and PRO 
analyses, and PK Analysis Set will be used for PK analyses. 
In the case of wrong group (i.e., Group 1 vs Group 2) assignment at the time of 
randomization, the analyses will be performed based on the actual group per data 
collected in the CRF. 
Unless otherwise specified, summary tables will provide the following descriptive 
statistics as a minimum:  
• Continuous data: n, mean, standard deviation, minimum and maximum.  
• Continuous data (log-normally distributed): n, geometric mean, %CVb, minimum, 
maximum  
• Categorical data: number and percentage of participants in each category.

4.1.1. 
Bayesian inference 
The main statistical analyses will be carried out in the Bayesian framework. Models will 
be fitted by Monte Carlo Markov Chain (MCMC) simulations.  
Prior distributions are given in the analysis sections below and will be reported in the 
Clinical Pharmacology Study Report (CPSR).  
Posterior distributions for each arm and for the treatment difference between arms will be 
summarized using posterior median, 95% equal-tailed credible intervals (CrI), and 
posterior probabilities of the true treatment difference being greater than pre-specified 
thresholds. 
The inference will be carried out as follows: 
- 
2 chains will be run, with different (over-dispersed) initial values in order to 
assess convergence. Posterior summaries will use only 1 chain. 
- 
A minimum burn-in period of 1,000 MCMC samples (for each chain) will be 
used.  
- 
A minimum of 10,000 MCMC samples (for each chain) will be run to generate 
samples of the posterior distribution.  
- 
A thinning sample may be used to improve convergence. If k is the thinning ratio, 
the number of MCMC samples will be minimum k ×10,000. 
To assess convergence (MCMC), the following will be used: 
- 
Ratio of Monte Carlo error /posterior SD should be as small as to ensure that only 
a fraction of the posterior variability is due to simulation error.  
The final MCMC samples will be such that this ratio for the key parameters in the 
model is ≤ 0.01. 
• Gelman & Rubin diagnostic is based on the ratio of the pooled variance across the 
chains over the overall within-chain variance. Values close to 1 indicate that each 
of the subsets of MCMC samples is close to the target posterior distribution. 
A cut-off of 1.1 will be used. 
• Diagnostic plots and visual inspection 
o Trace plots (the distribution of points should not change as the chain 
progresses and the posterior mean and variance are relatively constant) 
o Autocorrelation plots (provide information on how slow or fast the Markov 
chain converges) 
All the diagnostic outputs and alternative models fitted (where applicable) will be stored 
in the refdata folder in HARP (production) in the relevant reporting efforts. 
4.1.2. 
Baseline Definition 
For all endpoints the baseline value will be the latest pre-dose assessment with a non-
missing value, including those from unscheduled visits, unless otherwise stated. If time is

to the predictors 
• 
Placebo at Week 12: robust MAP prior: mixture prior has 28.5% weight on a 
Normal (-31.56, SD=5.67), 21.5% weight on a Normal (-31.21, SD=11.00) and 
50% weight on a Normal (-30, SD = 50) 
•

If convergence issues occur, an alternative covariance matrix structure may be 
used, for example a compound symmetric structure, to help improve convergence.

See Section 4.1.1 
Results Presentation 
• Adjusted posterior median, and 95% CrI for each treatment by timepoint interaction (table). 
• Posterior median treatment differences (GSK1070806 – placebo) and associated 95% CrI for 
each timepoint (table and figure). 
• Probabilities that the true treatment difference (GSK1070806 – placebo) at each visit is < 0%, -
15%, -25%, and -40% (table), e.g., Prob(GSK1070806 – placebo < -15%) 
• Outputs will include results for earlier timepoints in addition to the objective specified timepoint 
of Week 12. 
 
For the PCFB in the EASI at Week 12 in the placebo arm, data from 16 previous trials in 
AtD were included to derive an informative prior using a meta-analytic predictive (MAP) 
method [Schmidli, 2014]. A vague mixture component was added to allow for prior-data 
conflicts. 
Data were extracted from the following publications: [Beck, 2014], [Bissonnette, 2019], 
[Gooderham, 2019], [Guttman-Yassky, 2019], [Guttman-Yassky, 2020a], [Guttman-
Yassky, 2020b], [Ruzicka, 2017], [Simpson, 2016], [Simpson, 2018], [Simpson,2019], 
[Simpson, 2020], [Thaçi, 2016]. 
4.2.3. 
Sensitivity analyses 
As a sensitivity analysis, a vague prior of Normal (-30, SD=50) will be applied instead of 
the robust MAP prior for placebo at Week 12.  
4.2.4. 
Additional estimands 
An additional estimand for the primary endpoint is defined: the intercurrent event of the 
use of Rescue Therapy will be handled with the treatment policy strategy: data collected 
after use of Rescue Therapy will be included in the statistical analysis.

Missing data assumption will be MAR, i.e., given the history of a subject, the part that is 
missing will be distributed similarly as those that are still in the study at that time, 
whether they have taken Rescue Therapy or not. 
The same statistical approach as described in Section 4.2.2 will be used. 
Primary endpoint additional analysis due to COVID-19 
For the primary endpoint, if >= 6 participants in Group 1 have confirmed COVID-19 up 
to Week 12, then an additional analysis whereby the intercurrent event of the onset of 
COVID-19 (confirmed diagnosis only) will be handled with the hypothetical strategy 
may be conducted. 
EASI scores collected after the onset of COVID-19 (confirmed diagnosis only) will be 
set to missing. 
Missing observations will be assumed to be Missing at Random (MAR), i.e. assume that 
the missing part, given the history, will be like the data observed in the absence of 
COVID-19. 
For the use of Rescue Thearpy, the same method (hypthetical stratgey) as in the primary 
analysis will be used.  
4.3. 
Secondary Endpoints Analyses 
For Safety analysis please refer to Section 4.5. 
4.3.1. 
Clinical secondary endpoints 
4.3.1.1. 
Definition of clinical endpoints 
The secondary endpoints for Group 1 are:  
• Change from baseline in the EASI at Week 12.  
• EASI 50/75/90 responses at Week 12, EASI 50/75/90 response is defined as ≥ 
50/75/90% reduction in the EASI from Baseline.  
• IGA score of 0 ('clear’) or 1 ('almost clear’) response at Week 12.  
The secondary endpoint for Group 2 is: 
• 
Percent change from baseline in the EASI at Week 12.  
4.3.1.2. 
Main analytical approach 
The analyses of the secondary endpoints will be based on the Safety analysis set. 
Participants will be analysed according to the treatment they received.

Group 1 – continuous endpoints 
The approach is the same as that used for the primary endpoint (Section 4.2.2), including 
up to Week 12 visit. Vague prior of Normal(0, SD=106) will be used for all parameters 
associated to the predictors. EASI scores will be set to missing after Rescue Therapy. 
Missing data will be assumed to be MAR. 
Group 1 – binary endpoints 
Bayesian logistic regression will be used.  
Responses collected after use of Rescue Theapy will be set to non-responders.  
Missing responses will be imputed as non-reponders. 
Binary Endpoints 
• EASI50, EASI75, and EASI90 responses at Week 12 
• IGA score of 0 or 1 response at Week 12

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Safety Results 
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the safety results will be assessed, if any. 
Adverse Events 
A listing of COVID-19 related AEs (SMQ related to COVID to flag all preferred terms 
related to COVID-19) will be produced.  
If >= 10 participants (groups 1 and 2 combined) have confirmed COVID-19, the 
following tables will be created: 
1. Adverse Events by System Organ Class and Preferred Term and Maximum 
Intensity (AEs before the onset of COVID-19 vs. AEs on and after the onset of 
COVID-19; Safety Analysis Set) 
2. Adverse Events by System Organ Class and Preferred Term and Maximum 
Intensity (AEs on and after the onset of COVID-19; COVID-19 Analysis Set) 
3. Serious adverse events by system organ class and preferred term and maximum 
intensity (SAEs before the onset of COVID-19 vs. SAEs on and after the onset of 
COVID-19; Safety Analysis Set)

Additional Safety Assessments 
4.5.3.1. 
Laboratory Data 
Separate summary tables for haematology, and chemistry laboratory tests as well as urine 
concentration parameters will be produced. Liver function laboratory tests will be included 
with chemistry lab tests. 
Change from baseline in laboratory parameters will be presented for continuous variables, 
with a summary of baseline values included in the tables. Shift tables of worst-case results 
post-baseline relative to baseline will be provided for the following tests: 
• For lab tests with associated Potential Clinical Importance (PCI) criteria (see 
Section 6.2.1) 
• For categorical urinalysis parameters

Only post-baseline data will be included in these tables. If a participant moves to both a 
low and a high clinical concern range during the treatment period, then the participant is 
counted in both categories.  
Summaries of hepatobiliary laboratory events including possible Hy’s law cases will be 
provided in addition to what has been described above. Possible Hy’s law cases are 
defined as any elevated alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≥3 × upper limit of normal 
(ULN) and total bilirubin ≥2 × ULN (>35% direct bilirubin) or ALT ≥3 × ULN and 
international normalized ratio (INR) >1.5.  Total bilirubin ≥2×ULN can be within 28 
days following the ALT elevation and if direct bilirubin is available on the same day, it 
must be ≥ 35% of total bilirubin. The summary will be produced for worst-case post-
baseline only. 
 
4.5.3.2. 
Vital Signs  
A summary table of change from baseline in vital signs will be produced, including systolic 
blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), heart rate, and temperature. 
Shift tables of worst-case results relative to PCI criteria post-baseline relative to baseline 
will be provided for SBP, DBP and heart rate (see Section 6.2.1). 
 
4.5.3.3. 
ECG 
For all ECG analyses, baseline is taken to be the mean of the triplicate values collected 
pre-dose Day 1. The following summaries will be provided: 
1. Summary of Maximum QTc Values Post-Baseline Relative to Baseline by Category 
2. Summary of Maximum Increase in QTc Values Post-Baseline Relative to Baseline by 
Category 
3. Summary of ECG findings (the clinical significance and interpretation of each 
planned ECG). In the case of triplicate ECG measurements, results will be presented 
separately by measurement number. 
4. Summary of change from baseline in ECG values. In the case of triplicate ECG 
measurements, summaries will use the average of the triplicate. 
 
The QTc data analysis will use the values based on Fridericia formula. For analysis 
purposes, if QTcF is not available, it will be derived from QTcB.   
 
Shift tables will be provided for QTcF and will be used to detect any clinically important 
changes: 
- 
Maximum QTc values post-baseline relative to baseline by category defined as 
o To ≤450msec or No Change 
o Any increase > 450 msec

Subgroup analyses 
There are no planned subgroup analyses for any of the endpoints. 
4.7. 
Interim Analyses 
The details of the planned analysis and timing will be documented in the Interim Analysis 
Charter. 
The decision criteria will be based on predictive probabilities of achieving two decision 
criteria (at the end of the study) defined in the interim charter, based on the interim data. 
The prediction of the future data will be based on the posterior distribution of the 
parameters at interim. The latter will be estimated using the same statistical analysis as 
described in Section 4.2.2. 
4.8. 
Changes to Protocol Defined Analyses 
There is no change or deviation to the originally planned statistical analysis specified in 
protocol amendment #1 (Dated: 25-FEB-2022). 
5. 
SAMPLE SIZE DETERMINATION 
Approximately 64 patients may need to be screened to obtain 48 randomized participants 
(approximately 30 and 18 participants in Groups 1 and 2, respectively). Participants who 
have withdrawn from the study, may be replaced at the discretion of the sponsor. 
The sample sizes for Groups 1 and 2 are selected to support preliminary assessment of the 
clinical effect, based on PCFB in the EASI for Groups 1 and 2.  
Operating characteristics of some criteria of interest for the both groups of the study have 
been calculated and presented below.

Group 1: 
Based on 30 participants (20 administered GSK1070806 and 10 administered placebo), the 
probability of different criteria of interest are given in the table below.  
A Bayesian linear regression was used, assuming that the PCFB in the EASI follows a 
Normal distribution. The priors were as follows: 
• Placebo arm: a robust meta-analytic predictive (MAP) prior was constructed based 
on placebo PCFB in the EASI reported in recent clinical trials in AtD. The resulting 
mixture prior has 28.5% weight on a Normal (-31.56, SD=5.67), 21.5% weight on 
a Normal (-31.21, SD=11.00) and 50% weight on a Normal (-30, SD = 50), with an 
effective sample size of 14 participants (expected local-information-ratio (ELIR) 
method (Neuenschwander, 2020)) assuming a between-participant SD = 50. 
• GSK1070806 arm: a vague Normal prior was used, with mean = -30 and SD = 50, 
corresponding to an effective sample size (ELIR method) of 1 participant assuming 
a between-participant SD = 50. 
Operating characteristics are provided below. A true PCFB in the EASI of -30% in the 
placebo arm was assumed, based on recent clinical trials in AtD. Various true PCFBs in 
the EASI for the GSK1070806 arm at Week 12 were assumed, giving various true 
treatment differences. A between-participant SD of 50% was assumed for both 
GSK1070806 and Placebo arms.

Group 2: 
There are no planned statistical analyses comparing GSK1070806 versus placebo. The 
analysis will be conducted on PCFB in the EASI in the GSK1070806 arm. 
Based on 15 participants on GSK1070806, the operating characteristics are given below. 
A vague Normal prior was used, with mean = 0 and SD = 1×106, corresponding to an 
effective sample size (ELIR method) of 0 participant assuming a between-participant

SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION 
6.1. 
Appendix 1 Study Population Analyses 
Unless otherwise specified, the study population analyses will be based on the 
Randomised or Enrolled Analysis Set. A summary of the number of participants in each 
of the participant level analysis set will be provided. 
Study population analyses including analyses of participant’s disposition, protocol 
deviations, demographic and baseline characteristics, prior and concomitant medications 
will be based on GSK Core Data Standards.  Details of planned displays are presented in 
OPS. 
6.1.1. 
Participant Disposition 
A summary of the number and percentage of participants who completed the study as 
well as those who prematurely withdrew from the study will be provided. Reasons for 
study withdrawal will be summarized. A participant is considered to have completed the 
study if they have completed all planned study assessments including the follow-up visit.  
 
Rescreening of screen failures is allowed as per protocol. Rescreened participants will be 
summarized under their latest participant number. 
6.1.2. 
Demographic and Baseline Characteristics 
The demographic characteristics including age, gender, race, ethnicity, height, weight, 
and BMI will be summarized. 
A summary of atopic dermatitis history and characteristics will be provided. The 
summary will include baseline EASI score (continuous), baseline IGA score 
(categorical), and duration since diagnosis.

6.1.3. 
Protocol Deviations 
Important protocol deviations (including deviations related to study inclusion/exclusion 
criteria, conduct of the trial, patient management or patient assessment, prohibited 
medication) will be summarized. 
Protocol deviations will be tracked by the study team throughout the conduct of the 
study. These protocol deviations will be reviewed to identify those considered as 
important as follows: 
o Data will be reviewed prior to unblinding and freezing the database to ensure all 
important deviations (where possible without knowing the study intervention 
details) are captured and categorised in the protocol deviations dataset.  
o This dataset will be the basis for the summaries of important protocol deviations. 
 
6.1.4. 
Prior and Concomitant Medications 
Concomitant medications will be coded using both the GSK Drug and WHO Drug 
dictionaries. However, the summary will be based on GSK Drug dictionary only.  
The summary of concomitant medications will be provided by Anatomical Therapeutic 
Chemical (ATC) classification Level 1 and ingredient, i.e. multi-ingredient medications 
will be summarized for each individual ingredient rather than a combination of 
ingredients.  
Pre-intervention, Treatment, and Follow up concomitant medications are defined in OPS. 
A summary of prohibited medications and Rescue Therapy will be produced by 
ingredient. 
The incidence of use of prohibited medications and Rescue Therapy will be summarised, 
overall and by topical and non-topical groups.  Cumulative proportion of participants 
receiving prohibited medications / Rescue Therapy during the treatment period will be 
plotted.

6.2.2. 
Study Period 
Assessments and events will be classified according to the time of occurrence relative to 
the study intervention period.  
Pre-Intervention is defined as time prior to the first dose of study intervention. 
Treatment period is defined as time from first dose to and including Week 12 visit. If 
time of assessment or study intervention is not collected, the following assessment on the 
first dose date will be assumed to be taken prior to the first dose and therefore considered 
pre-intervention: ECG, Lab, and vital signs, and first dose date is considered on-
intervention for AE and concomitant medication. 
Follow up is defined as any time post on-intervention window, i.e. ≥Week 12 visit + 1 
day.

6.2.3. 
Study Day and Reference Dates 
The safety reference date is the study intervention start date and will be used to calculate 
study day for safety measures.  
The efficacy reference date is the study intervention start date and will be used to 
calculate study day for efficacy measures and baseline characteristics, as well as efficacy 
durations.  
The study day is calculated as below: 
• Assessment Date = Missing              → Study Day = Missing  
• Assessment Date < Reference Date → Study Day = Assessment Date – Ref Date 
• Assessment Data ≥ Reference Date → Study Day = Assessment Date – Ref Date 
+ 1     
6.2.4. 
Assessment Window  
Unscheduled and Early Withdrawal visits will not be remapped. Data from these visits 
will not be used in summary tables (except for endpoints using any post-baseline data) 
but will be presented in any relevant listings.  
6.2.5. 
Multiple measurements at One Analysis Time Point 
When triplicate ECG assessments are taken, mean of the measurement will be calculated 
first and summary statistics will be based on the calculated mean. This will apply to both 
screening, baseline, and post baseline assessments. 
6.2.6. 
Handling of Partial Dates 
Element 
Reporting Detail 
General 
• 
Partial dates will be displayed as captured in participant listing displays.   
• 
However, where necessary, display macros may impute dates as temporary 
variables for sorting data in listings only. In addition, partial dates may be 
imputed for ‘slotting’ data to study phases or for specific analysis purposes as 
outlined below. 
• 
Imputed partial dates will not be used to derive study day, time to onset or 
duration (e.g., time to onset or duration of adverse events), or elapsed time 
variables (e.g., time since diagnosis). In addition, imputed dates are not used 
for deriving the last contact date in overall survival analysis dataset. 
Concomitant 
Medications/
Medical 
History 
• 
Partial dates for any concomitant medications recorded in the CRF will be 
imputed using the following convention: 
 
Missing start 
day 
If study intervention start date is missing (i.e. 
participant did not start study intervention), then set 
start date = 1st of month. 
Else if study intervention start date is not missing:
