Enrollment: 550 participants; Allocation: RANDOMIZED; Intervention model: PARALLEL

Brief summary:
This study (contRAst 3 \[202018: NCT04134728\]) is a Phase 3, randomized, multicenter, double-blind study to assess the safety and efficacy of GSK3196165 in combination with conventional (cs) DMARD\[s\]) or the treatment of adult participants with moderate to severe active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who have had an inadequate response to biologic (b) DMARD\[s\]) and/or JAK inhibitors. The study will consist of a screening phase of up to 6 weeks followed by 24 week treatment phase in which participants will be randomized in ratio of 6:6:6:1:1:1 to GSK3196165 150 milligrams (mg) subcutaneously (SC) weekly,GSK3196165 90 mg SC weekly, sarilumab 200 mg SC every other week or placebo (three arms) respectively, all in combination with background csDMARD(s). At Week 12, participants in the three placebo arms will switch from placebo to active intervention (either GSK3196165 150 mg SC weekly, GSK3196165 90 mg SC weekly, or sarilumab 200 mg SC every other week). Participants who, in investigator's judgement will benefit from extended treatment with GSK3196165, may be included in the long-term extension study (contRAst X \[209564: NCT04333147\]). Any participant who does not transition into study 209564 will undergo a safety follow-up visit at Week 34 (corresponding to 12 weeks after the last potential dose of sarilumab, at Week 22).

Detailed description:

Arms: arm 1: Entire treatment period (24 Weeks): GSK3196165 90 mg SC injection once weekly. Participants will also receive a stable dose of csDMARD(s) as standard of care (SoC). arm 2: Entire treatment period (24 Weeks): GSK3196165 150 mg SC injection once weekly. Participants will also receive a stable dose of csDMARD(s) as SoC. arm 3: Entire treatment period (24 Weeks): Sarilumab 200 mg SC injection every other week + placebo SC injection in the intervening weeks. Participants will also receive a stable dose of csDMARD(s) as SoC. arm 4: From Week 0-11: Placebo SC injection once weekly. From Week 12 onwards: GSK3196165 90 mg SC injection once weekly. Participants will also receive a stable dose of csDMARD(s) as SoC. arm 5: From Week 0-11: Placebo SC injection once weekly. From Week 12 onwards: GSK3196165 150 mg SC injection once weekly. Participants will also receive a stable dose of csDMARD(s) as SoC. arm 6: From Week 0-11: Placebo SC injection once weekly. From Week 12 onwards: Sarilumab 200 mg SC injection every other week + placebo SC injection in the intervening weeks. Participants will also receive a stable dose of csDMARD(s) as SoC.
Interventions: intervention 1: GSK3196165 (Otilimab) intervention 2: Sarilumab intervention 3: Placebo to GSK3196165/ Sarilumab intervention 4: csDMARDs
Intervention descriptions: intervention 1: GSK3196165 solution in vial/pre-filled syringe (PFS) to be administered SC. intervention 2: Sarilumab solution in PFS to be administered SC. intervention 3: Placebo sterile 0.9 percentage (%) weight by volume (w/v) sodium chloride solution in vial/PFS to be administered SC. intervention 4: Stable dose of csDMARD(s) as SoC.

PROTOCOL SUMMARY
1.1.
Synopsis
Protocol Title: A 24-week, phase 3, multicentre, randomised, double-blind, efficacy and 
safety study, comparing GSK3196165 with placebo and with sarilumab, in combination 
with conventional synthetic DMARDs, in participants with moderately to severely active 
rheumatoid arthritis who have an inadequate response to biological DMARDs and/or 
Janus Kinase inhibitors.
Short Title: Efficacy and safety of GSK3196165 versus placebo and sarilumab in 
participants with moderately to severely active rheumatoid arthritis who have an 
inadequate response to biological DMARDs and/or Janus Kinase inhibitors.
Rationale: The aim of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of GSK3196165, 
in combination with conventional synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drug(s)
(csDMARD)(s), for the treatment of adults with moderately to severely active rheumatoid 
arthritis (RA) who have had an inadequate response to biologic DMARD(s) 
(bDMARD)(s) and/or JAK inhibitors.  Two doses of GSK3196165 (90 mg subcutaneous 
[SC] weekly and 150 mg SC weekly) will be compared with placebo (to Week 12) and 
with sarilumab (200 mg SC every other week), an inhibitor of IL-6 that is approved in 
many countries for the treatment of adults with moderately to severely active RA who 
have an inadequate response to bDMARD(s) and/or JAK inhibitors.

Overall Design: This is a double-blind, parallel group, multicentre, placebo and active 
comparator-controlled study of the efficacy and safety of GSK3196165 in participants 
with moderately to severely active RA, who have had an inadequate response to 
treatment with bDMARDs and/or JAK inhibitors.  The study consists of a screening 
phase of up to 6 weeks, a 24-week treatment phase and a safety follow-up visit at 
Week 34.  Upon successful screening, participants will be randomised to one of six 
intervention arms.  Participants who complete the treatment period of this study may be 
eligible to participate in a long-term extension study to further evaluate the efficacy and 
safety of GSK3196165.
Disclosure Statement: This is a parallel group treatment study with 6 arms that is 
participant, investigator and outcomes assessor blinded.
Number of Participants: Approximately 1050-1200 participants will be screened to 
achieve between 525 and 600 randomly assigned to study intervention.  Approximately 
525 evaluable participants are expected to be included in the primary analysis, of whom 
approximately 473 are expected to complete the Week 12 visit.  When the approximate 
target of 525 participants is reached, recruitment may continue up to a maximum of 600 
participants to ensure sufficient numbers in the key Asian country subgroup. 
The sample size calculation is provided in Section 9.2.
Intervention Groups and Duration:
Participants will be randomised to one of six intervention arms, in a ratio of 6:6:6:1:1:1 to 
GSK3196165 150 mg SC weekly, GSK3196165 90 mg SC weekly, sarilumab 200 mg SC 
every other week or placebo (3 arms) respectively, all in combination with background 
csDMARD(s).  At Week 12, the 3 placebo arms will switch from placebo to active 
intervention (either GSK3196165 150 mg SC weekly, GSK3196165 90 mg SC weekly, 
or sarilumab 200 mg SC every other week).  Randomisation will be stratified by 
previously failed medication (1 bDMARD, >1 bDMARD or ≥1 JAK inhibitor [regardless 
of whether bDMARD received in past]).
A separate randomisation cohort in addition to the main randomisation may be utilised 
for the key Asian country subgroup, in order to allow separate analyses for these 
countries if required.
The total treatment period is 24 weeks, with a safety follow-up visit at Week 34, for those 
participants who do not continue into the long term-extension study.

Schedule of Activities (SoA)
See Section 8 for further details of study procedures listed in the SoA.
Order of Assessments:

PROs should be completed first, before any other assessments, procedures or 
consultations, to avoid influencing participants’ perception.

Where possible, joint counts should follow PRO completion. PhGA should then 
take place, followed by other assessments (including safety), ECGs, vital signs 
and blood draws, before dosing.

PK sampling and blood draws must always take place before dosing.
Study Dosing and Visit Schedule:

Study SC injection should be administered weekly, on the same day each week. 

A window of 2 days is acceptable for the SC injection (minimum gap of 5 days 
between each dose, for no more than 2 consecutive doses). Participants should 
return to their 7 day dosing schedule as soon as possible thereafter. See 
Section 6.1 for further information.

Where possible, assessment visits should be scheduled to coincide with the 
weekly administration of study intervention, the injection will then be 
performed at the site, after completion of PK sampling.

Dosing must always be performed by an unblinded administrator on weeks 0, 2, 4, 
6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, even if PFS are available.  On Weeks 0, 1, 12 and 
13, participants must be dosed at site (after completion of study assessments) and 
monitored for 1 hour post dose.

INTRODUCTION
GSK3196165 is a novel human monoclonal anti-granulocyte-macrophage colony 
stimulating factor (GM-CSF) antibody that is being developed for once-weekly treatment 
of rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
2.1.
Study Rationale
The aim of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of GSK3196165, in 
combination with conventional synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drug(s)
(csDMARD)(s), for the treatment of adults with moderately to severely active RA who 
have had an inadequate response to biologic DMARD(s) (bDMARD)(s) and/or JAK 
inhibitors.  Two doses of GSK3196165 (90 mg subcutaneous [SC] weekly and 150 mg 
SC weekly) will be compared with placebo (to Week 12) and with sarilumab 200 mg SC 
every other week, an inhibitor of IL-6 that is approved for the treatment of adults with 
moderately to severely active RA who have had an inadequate response to bDMARD(s) 
and/or JAK inhibitors.
2.2.
Background
RA is a chronic, systemic inflammatory autoimmune disease, characterised by a 
symmetrical polyarthritis that is associated with substantial disability and morbidity.  RA 
affects approximately 0.5-1.0% of the worldwide population, primarily women, with a 
peak incidence of onset between 40 and 60 years of age.
A substantial proportion of patients either fail to respond, or have inadequate response, to 
currently available RA therapies [Gaujoux-Viala, 2014; Nam, 2014].  Therefore, there is 
still a medical need for more effective treatments for RA with alternative mechanisms of 
action.
GM-CSF is a pro-inflammatory cytokine that regulates the functions of myeloid lineage 
cells that are considered to play key roles in the pathology of RA including macrophages 
and neutrophils [Avci, 2016; Hamilton, 2016; Wicks, 2016].  Increased levels of GM-
CSF are found in the synovial fluid from RA patients and its receptor is expressed in 
synovial tissue [Avci, 2016; Wicks, 2016].  Preclinical studies using various 
inflammatory arthritis models have shown that GM-CSF removal or neutralisation 
improved pain, function and joint histologic structure [Cook, 2001; Plater-Zyberk, 2007; 
Cook, 2013; Cook 2018a] and inhibited matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-mediated 
cartilage degradation in experimental arthritis induced by joint instability [Cook, 2012].
GSK3196165 is a high-affinity recombinant human monoclonal antibody (mAb) that 
binds specifically to human GM-CSF and prevents its interaction with its cell surface 
receptor [Steidl, 2008].  Clinical studies in patients with RA have shown that 
GSK3196165 [Behrens, 2015] and mavrilimumab (an anti-GM-CSF receptor -subunit 
antibody) [Burmester, 2017; Burmester, 2018; Cook, 2018b] are able to reduce RA 
disease activity and pain.  A Phase IIb dose-ranging study of GSK3196165 with 
methotrexate (MTX) treatment, in patients with RA and an inadequate response to MTX, 
has also been completed.

In the BAROQUE Phase IIb study (201755), treatment with GSK3196165 in 
combination with MTX demonstrated efficacy in the treatment of active RA.  At Week 
12 of the study, all doses above 22.5 mg resulted in a significant reduction in 
DAS28(CRP) (Disease Activity Score including 28 different joints) and significantly 
higher ACR20 (20% improvement in American College of Rheumatology criteria)
response rates in comparison to placebo.  Substantial improvements in tender and swollen 
joint counts, a large effect in CDAI (Clinical Disease Activity Index) and rapid 
improvements in pain were also identified. The overall adverse event (AE) and serious 
adverse event (SAE) profile was unremarkable.  The majority of AEs were of mild or 
moderate intensity and there were no deaths, malignancies or venous thromboembolisms 
during the trial.  Additional information is provided in the GSK3196165 Investigator’s 
Brochure (IB) [GSK Document Number 2014N190256_02].  It is therefore hypothesised 
that GSK3196165, in combination with csDMARD(s), may provide clinical benefit to 
patients with RA.
2.3.
Benefit/Risk Assessment
More detailed information about the known and expected benefits and risks and 
reasonably expected adverse events of GSK3196165 may be found in the IB.  The risks 
associated with the active comparator sarilumab can be found in the approved product 
label or local prescribing information.
The potential risk assessment and mitigation strategy for the administration of 
GSK3196165 in this protocol is outlined below.

Investigational Product (IP) [GSK3196165]
Infections
Immune-modulating biologic drugs used in RA (such 
as anti-TNF agents) are associated with an increased 
risk of serious and opportunistic infections.  Similarly, 
because of the role of GM-CSF in anti-infective 
immunity, GSK3196165 also has the potential to 
increase the risk of infection.
Non-clinical Data:
No changes in peripheral blood populations 
(lymphocytes, neutrophils, monocytes, eosinophils or 
basophils), phagocytic activity of peripheral blood 
polymorphonuclear cells (investigational endpoint in 
the 26 week study), T-cell dependent B-cell primary or 
secondary response, or circulating cytokine levels (26 
week study) were observed.
Studies in knock-out mice showed that GM-CSF 
deficiency (GM-CSF-/-) affects the ability of mice to 
control infection when infected with M. tuberculosis or 
pulmonary group B streptococcus [LeVine, 1999].
Clinical Data:
Based on the mechanism of action of GSK3196165 
an increased risk of infection including TB, fungal and 
opportunistic infections could be expected for anti-
GM-CSF treatment, because of the role of GM-CSF in 
anti-infective immunity.

and on repeat testing within 1 week either: 
HBV DNA positive (any level) OR HBV 
surface antigen positive OR increase in 
hepatic transaminases (see Figure 2 in 
Section 8.2.8).
Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP)
GM-CSF signalling is required to maintain the normal 
function of alveolar macrophages.  Long-term 
absence of GM-CSF signalling (e.g., via hereditary 
GM-CSF deficiency or development of anti-GM-CSF 
auto-antibodies) is known to cause the extremely rare 
condition of PAP.  PAP is characterised by the 
accumulation of surfactant lipids and protein in the 
alveolar spaces, which might lead to persistent dry 
cough and is also associated with impairment in gas 
exchange which may lead to an increased risk of 
pulmonary infection.
The exposure duration to GSK3196165 in this study is 
24 weeks.  Although the time course of PAP 
development in humans is unknown, the published 
literature suggests that the clinical onset of PAP 
requires prolonged and complete inhibition of GM-
CSF [Martinez-Moczygemba, 2008; Suzuki, 2008]. 
Risk of PAP is anticipated to be low.
Non-clinical Data:
Non-adverse minimal to mild foamy alveolar 
macrophage accumulation were noted in lungs of 
monkeys in the 13-week SC and 26-week IV 
Eligibility Criteria (Section 5.2):

investigator’s opinion would confound the 
early detection of PAP based upon clinical 
features, such as persistent cough (CTC 
Grade ≥2) or dyspnoea (dyspnoea scale 
Grade ≥2).
Monitoring:

Diagnosis of PAP, persistent cough (CTCAE 
Grade 2) or persistent dyspnoea (dyspnoea 
scale Grade 2) are categorised as AESIs.

(i.e. Weeks 0, 1, 12, and 13).
Withdrawal Criteria:

Permanently discontinue study intervention 
for serious hypersensitivity reactions
Injection site reactions
SC injections may be associated with local reactions 
(e.g., swelling, induration, pain).
Non-clinical Data:
No macroscopic or microscopic changes indicative of 
local injection site reactions were observed following 
SC administration in cynomolgus monkeys.
Clinical Data:
Injection site reactions have been reported in 
completed Phase II studies and were non-serious and 
of mild to moderate intensity.
Monitoring:

Injection site reactions are categorised as 
AESIs and reported as an AE.

Monitor for injection site reactions throughout 
study.

Recommended that injection sites are 
rotated.
Neutropenia
Although there is a perceived theoretical risk that GM-
CSF blockade may affect maturation of leukocytes 
and their precursors, mice lacking GM-CSF do not 
develop neutropenia or show any major perturbation 
of hematopoiesis [Stanley, 1994].
Clinical Data:
Neutropenia has been observed in completed studies 
of GSK3196165; however, no clinically significant 
cases have been observed.
Eligibility Criteria (Section 5.2):
Exclusion of participants with 

Significant neutropenia (absolute neutrophil 
count <2 x 109/L) at screening.
Monitoring:

Neutropenia Grade 3 (<1.0 x 109/L) is 
categorised as an AESI.

Full blood count (with differential) performed 
at regular intervals throughout the study
Withdrawal Criteria:
Temporarily discontinue study intervention for the 
following haematological abnormality until resolved 
(Section 7.1.3.3):

Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≤1.0 x 109/L

Reproductive toxicity
Published studies performed with GM-CSF -/- mice 
have indicated that GM-CSF depletion potentially 
affects fertility, establishment of pregnancy and 
postpartum development of offspring in the mouse.
Non-clinical Data:
No GSK3196165-related effects on female or male 
fertility were noted in the SC 13-week repeat dose 
monkey study at doses up to 100 mg/kg/week (highest 
dose tested).  In addition, no maternal, embryofoetal 
or effects on fertility were noted in the reproductive 
toxicology studies using the surrogate rat anti-mouse 
GM-CSF monoclonal antibody, 22E9.
Clinical Data:
Two pregnancies have been reported during clinical 
studies with GSK3196165, 1 in a female partner of a 
HV participant and 1 in an MS participant. Both 
pregnancies were electively terminated. The effect of 
GSK3196165 on human pregnancy is unknown.
Eligibility Criteria (Section 5.1 and Section 5.2):

WOCBP and males to meet contraceptive 
requirements.

Negative serum pregnancy test at screening.
Exclusion of female participants who are:

Pregnant, lactating, planning to become 
pregnant or initiating breastfeeding.
Monitoring:

Females of reproductive potential using 
hormonal contraceptives, including oral, 
injections, implants, and patches, are 
required to use a secondary method of 
contraception.

Routine urine pregnancy testing of WOCBP 
throughout the study.

Collection of pregnancy information in 
females and in female partners of male 
participants.

Pregnancy to be followed to determine 
outcome.

Report as AE/SAE any pregnancy 
complication or elective termination.
Withdrawal criteria:

Permanently discontinue study intervention in 
event of pregnancy (Section 7.1.2).
Malignancy
Risk of malignancy is increased in RA and the 
immunomodulatory therapies may also increase the 
risk.
Non-clinical & Clinical Data:
There are no reports of malignancy in the non-clinical 
Eligibility Criteria (Section 5.2):

malignancy within the past 5 years except for 
cervical carcinoma in situ that has been 
resected with no evidence of recurrence or 
metastatic disease, or basal cell or squamous 
epithelial cancers of the skin that have been 
resected with no evidence of recurrence or 
metastatic disease for at least 3 years.

History of any lymphoproliferative disorder, 
such as Epstein Barr Virus (EBV) related 
lymphoproliferative disorder, or signs and 
symptoms suggestive of current lymphatic 
disease.
Immunogenicity
GSK3196165 is a humanised monoclonal antibody 
that will be delivered by the subcutaneous route and is 
targeted to bind and neutralise a soluble target, and 
for these reasons, is considered to be a relatively low 
risk of inducing adverse immune responses [FDA, 
2014].
Non-clinical Data:
Anti-drug antibodies (ADAs) to GSK3196165 were 
detected in some monkeys and this was associated 
with reduced serum levels of GSK3196165; ADA 
associated toxicity was not observed.
Clinical Data:
In clinical trials to date, there is no evidence that anti-
GSK3196165 antibodies affect GSK3196165 serum 
concentrations.
Blood samples will be tested for anti-drug antibodies 
(ADAs) to GSK3196165 on Day 1 and at select time 
points throughout the study (including Follow-up). If 
present, ADA titres and presence of neutralising 
antibodies will be assessed.
In addition to scheduled immunogenicity assessments, 
“event-driven” testing will be performed in the context 
of serious hypersensitivity reactions or AEs deemed to 
be clinically significant in the opinion of the investigator 
resulting in discontinuation from study intervention.

2.3.2.
Benefit Assessment
GM-CSF plays a key role in initiation and progression of inflammation in RA and 
indirectly increases the destruction of the bone and cartilage.  GSK3196165 binds human 
GM-CSF and inhibits GM-CSF mediated responses in vitro.  Clinical studies in RA have 
shown that GSK3196165 [Behrens, 2015] and mavrilimumab (an anti-GM-CSF alpha-
subunit receptor antibody) [Burmester, 2017, Burmester, 2018; Cook, 2018b] were able 
to reduce RA disease activity and pain. In addition, results from BAROQUE showed that 
all doses of GSK3196165 above 22.5 mg in combination with MTX resulted in a 
significant reduction in DAS28(CRP), significantly higher ACR20 response rates, 
substantial improvements in tender and swollen joint counts, a large effect in CDAI and 
rapid improvements in pain with an acceptable safety profile when compared with 
placebo. These data support further evaluation of GSK3196165 as a treatment option in 
RA.
Participants randomised to the active comparator arm, will receive the marketed drug 
sarilumab, which is approved in many countries for the treatment of adults with 
moderately to severely active RA.  Participants randomised to one of the placebo arms, 
will receive placebo intervention only for 12 weeks, and will switch at Week 12 to 
receiving either GSK3196165 or active comparator for the remainder of the study.
Furthermore, each participant will benefit from extensive monitoring of their disease 
activity with numerous assessments throughout the study such as physical examinations, 
X-rays, ECGs, vital signs, pulse oximetry, respiratory function tests, laboratory tests, and 
swollen/tender joint assessments among others.
2.3.3.
Overall Benefit: Risk Conclusion
Current preclinical and clinical data with GSK3196165 indicates that it binds and inhibits 
the function of GM-CSF and that this inhibition may have clinical utility in the treatment 
of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, such as RA.
The main potential risks are those that may be associated with inhibition of GM-CSF, 
including infection, pulmonary alveolar proteinosis, neutropenia, malignancy and 
reproductive toxicity, plus those associated with the administration of a therapeutic 
monoclonal antibody, including hypersensitivity reactions, injection site reactions and 
immunogenicity.
In addition to routine pharmacovigilance, the safety review team (SRT) will review 
blinded safety data approximately every 4 weeks during the period of study conduct and 
unblinded safety data will be reviewed by the Independent Data Monitoring Committee 
(IDMC) at scheduled intervals (see Section 10.1.5).  Key safety data that meets 
predefined thresholds will be reviewed by the IDMC allowing ongoing assessment of the 
overall benefit:risk throughout the study.  Full details of safety thresholds will be 
provided in the IDMC charter.
Taking into account the measures taken to minimise risk to participants randomised in 
this study, the potential risks identified in association with GSK3196165 are justified by 
the anticipated benefits that may be afforded to participants with RA.

STUDY DESIGN
4.1.
Overall Design

This is a Phase 3, randomised, multicentre, double-blind, parallel group, placebo 
and active comparator (sarilumab) controlled study, with primary objective to 
assess the efficacy and safety of GSK3196165 in combination with csDMARD(s) 
in participants with moderately to severely active RA who have an inadequate 
response to bDMARDs and/or JAK inhibitors.

This is a 24-week study with primary endpoint at Week 12 to coincide with the 
duration of placebo intervention.

Upon successful screening, participants will be randomised to one of six 
intervention arms, in a ratio of 6:6:6:1:1:1 to GSK3196165 150 mg SC weekly, 
GSK3196165 90 mg SC weekly, sarilumab 200 mg SC every other week or 
placebo (three arms) respectively, all in combination with background 
csDMARD(s).  At Week 12, participants in the three placebo arms will switch 
from placebo to active intervention (either GSK3196165 150 mg SC weekly, 
GSK3196165 90 mg SC weekly, or sarilumab 200 mg SC every other week).  
Randomisation will be stratified by previously failed medication (1 bDMARD, >1 
bDMARD or ≥1 JAK inhibitor [regardless of whether bDMARD received in 
past]).

GSK3196165 and placebo will be administered by weekly subcutaneous (SC) 
injection; participants randomised to sarilumab will receive SC injections of 
sarilumab every other week, plus a placebo injection in the intervening weeks to 
maintain the blind.  See Section 6.1.

Due to ethical considerations, placebo control will only be allowed until Week 12.  
At their Week 12 visit, participants in the three placebo arms will switch to 
receiving the active intervention specified for that arm.  This will enable placebo 
participants to receive active intervention from Week 12 onwards and for the 
study to accrue additional randomised safety data. The intervention switch at 
Week 12 will be managed automatically by the Interactive Response Technology 
(IRT) in order to maintain the blind.

Participants who successfully complete the 24-week treatment period may be 
eligible to transition into long term extension study 209564.  Any participant who 
does not transition into study 209564 will undergo a safety follow-up visit at 
Week 34 (corresponding to 12 weeks after the last potential dose of sarilumab, at 
Week 22).

4.2.
Scientific Rationale for Study Design
This study is a placebo-controlled, sarilumab-controlled, parallel-dose study of SC doses 
of GSK3196165 added on to stable dose(s) of csDMARD(s).  Participants will be 
allowed to receive a stable dose of ≤10 mg/day oral prednisolone or equivalent and/or a 
stable dose of NSAID(s).
The double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomised clinical study is considered the gold 
standard for the safety and efficacy assessment of a new therapy both by clinicians and 
regulatory authorities.  Control with a comparator, sarilumab, will also comply with 
recent guidelines from regulatory authorities and help further establish the safety and 
efficacy in comparison with an established bDMARD.  In the proposed study, 
participants will continue to receive stable dose(s) of csDMARD(s).  All placebo 
participants will switch to active intervention (either GSK3196165 150 mg or 90 mg or 
sarilumab 200 mg) at their Week 12 visit.  Participants are not allowed to receive any 
additional bDMARDs other than GSK3196165 or sarilumab, or any targeted synthetic 
DMARD (tsDMARD) (including JAK inhibitors) during the study, to mitigate the 
potential increased safety risks of administering a combination of bDMARDs or a 
combination of a bDMARD and a tsDMARD.
Efficacy and safety of GSK3196165 will be compared with placebo (until Week 12) and 
an established active comparator (until Week 24), sarilumab which is approved in many 
countries for the treatment of RA in patients inadequately controlled with DMARDs.
ACR20 is considered an established endpoint which continues to be an acceptable 
measure to demonstrate reduction in disease activity as recommended in the US 
regulatory guidelines.
Health assessment Questionnaire Disability Index (HAQ-DI) is considered an established 
endpoint which continues to be an acceptable measure to demonstrate improvement in 
physical function as recommended in the US and EU regulatory guidelines.
4.3.
Justification for Dose
GSK3196165
The GSK3196165 doses for this study have been selected based on pharmacokinetics 
(PK), efficacy, safety data and exposure-response relationship for efficacy endpoints 
from the phase 2b dose finding study, BAROQUE (201755).
The BAROQUE study showed an acceptable safety profile and clinically meaningful 
efficacy at the highest dose of 180 mg SC weekly for 5 injections, then every other week 
until Week 50.  The efficacy however started to plateau after Week 6 with no further 
improvement post Week 12.  This effect is likely due to lower trough concentrations 
achieved in BAROQUE than predicted from PK data from historic studies (MSC-1000, 
MSC1001 and MOR103C104).  The reason for the lower than expected exposure to 
GSK3196165 in RA participants in BAROQUE is not fully understood.  The PK of 
GSK3196165 was linear over the tested dose range (IV; 0.025 – 3 mg/kg and SC; 22.5 –
180 mg), which is consistent with the PK profile of a mAb against soluble cytokine [GSK

Document Number 2017N353526_00].  However, GSK3196165 clearance in healthy 
volunteers (HV) was 3 times higher (0.93, confidence interval [CI]: 0.83 – 1.04 L/day) 
than generally reported for a mAb (0.3 L/day) and the half-life (t1/2) of 12 days was 
shorter than a typical mAb.  In addition, the SC bioavailability (0.34, CI: 0.26 – 0.44) was 
lower than expected for a mAb.  In RA participants, the apparent clearance (CL/F) after 
SC administration of GSK3196165 was 2.4 times higher than HV and the estimated t1/2 
was 10 days.
In this study, the dosing frequency will be increased to every week to overcome the 
higher CL/F and lower t1/2 of 10 days.  The GM-CSF-GSK3196165 complex data from 
BAROQUE also supports weekly administration as an optimal dosing regimen for 
GSK3196165.  This dosing frequency with a 90 and 150 mg dose is predicted to result in 
steady-state pre-dose concentrations of 1500 and 2500 ng/mL, respectively.  Based on a 
longitudinal exposure-response model of DAS28(CRP), a dose of 90 mg SC every week 
is predicted to provide clinically meaningful efficacy similar to the 180 mg regimen in 
the BAROQUE study and in line with other RA targeted DMARDs, whilst 150 mg SC 
every week dose is predicted to provide greater efficacy to that achieved in BAROQUE.
Figure 1
Comparison of PK/PD Model Predicted Median Change from 
Baseline in DAS28(CRP) given 3 Dose Regimens of GSK3196165: 
180 mg Weekly for 5 Weeks Followed by Every Other Week 
(BAROQUE Regimen), 90 mg Weekly and 150 mg Weekly
Based on dose-response relationship at Week 4 (matching the weekly dose regimen to be 
used in this study) the 90 mg and 150 mg doses translate into a ED70 and ED80 
respectively.  Logistic regression analysis of ACR20 and ACR50 response at Week 12, 
also indicated higher trough concentrations are associated with response rate.  The 
predicted ACR20 response rate for the 90 mg and 150 mg weekly doses are 63% and 
69%, respectively.

Furthermore, the safety profile of GSK3196165 in BAROQUE was acceptable at all 
doses with no apparent dose response in the incidence of AEs or SAEs.  More details are 
provided in the GSK3196165 IB.
Given the GSK3196165 half-life of 10 days, steady-state is expected to be reached after 5 
weekly doses (as in BAROQUE), therefore GSK3196165 concentrations with the 150 mg 
every week dosing regimen should not exceed concentrations studied in BAROQUE.  
The highest dose of 150 mg weekly provides a 3 to 5-fold safety margin to the 5 mg/kg 
dose in the 26-week monkey toxicology study where no foamy alveolar macrophages 
were observed (NOEL).
In summary, PK, exposure-response, dose-response and safety data from the BAROQUE
study, supported by modelling strongly support the selection of the 90 mg and 150 mg 
weekly doses, where 90 mg is expected to provide clinically-meaningful efficacy at 
levels similar to BAROQUE and existing targeted DMARDs, and 150 mg is predicted to 
provide greater clinical benefit.  Both doses are also covered by an appropriate safety 
margin.
Sarilumab
The sarilumab dose has been selected based on the recommended approved dose (200 mg 
every other week) in the countries where it is commercially available.
4.4.
End of Study Definition
A participant is considered to have completed the study if he/she has completed all 
phases of the study including the last visit.  This will be the Week 24 visit for those 
participants who transition into the long-term follow-up study or the safety follow-up 
visit for all other participants.
The end of the study is defined as the date of the last visit of the last participant in the 
study.

STUDY POPULATION
Prospective approval of protocol deviations to recruitment and enrolment criteria, also 
known as protocol waivers or exemptions, is not permitted.
Investigators should review and update the vaccination status of potential participants as 
per local guidelines for adult vaccination prior to entering them into the study (refer to 
EULAR recommendations where no local guidelines are available [Furer, 2019]).  All 
participants who have not received the herpes zoster vaccine at study entry will be
recommended to complete vaccination >30 days prior to randomisation.  All participants 
may receive inactivated flu vaccines during the study at the discretion of the investigator.
Note that “Inadequate response” to prior treatment in this population, is defined as: In the 
opinion of the investigator, after at least 3 months of treatment the participant 
experienced insufficient efficacy or loss of response (e.g. no EULAR response; failure to 
achieve ACR20; any other clinical criteria recommended per local guidelines that would

5.3.
Lifestyle Considerations
There are no lifestyle restrictions in this study.
5.4.
Screen Failures
Screen failures are defined as participants who consent to participate in the clinical study 
but are not subsequently randomised. A minimal set of screen failure information is 
required to ensure transparent reporting of screen failure participants to meet the 


2018N385816_02
CONFIDENTIAL
202018
42
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, and any serious adverse events 
(SAEs).
Individuals who do not meet the criteria for participation in this study (screen failure) 
may be rescreened once with the agreement of the Medical Monitor.  The entire 
screening process must be repeated (except for chest X-ray if performed within 12 weeks 
of the re-screening period).
A QuantiFERON-TB Gold plus test may be repeated once during screening if the initial 
result is indeterminate, alternatively a T-SPOT.TB test may be used following an 
indeterminate result.  This is not considered a rescreening.  If the repeat test is positive or 
indeterminate, then the participant will be considered to have active or latent TB.
For those participants requiring Isoniazid (INH) therapy for latent TB, LFTs must be 
assessed following 3 weeks of INH treatment in screening. Participants will fail screening 
if ALT >1.5 x ULN is identified; these participants may be re-screened if ALT elevation 
resolves to ALT <x 1.5 ULN during ongoing INH therapy following discussion with the 
medical monitor.
If a participant fails any of the laboratory exclusion criteria, 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.
Retesting within screening window of any blood sample withdrawn due to sample 
handling problems, breakage or sample integrity is not considered a rescreening.
Further details regarding the procedure for re-screening can be found in the SRM.

STUDY INTERVENTION
Study intervention is defined as any investigational intervention(s), marketed product(s), 
placebo, or medical device(s) intended to be administered to a study participant according 
to the study protocol.
6.1.
Study Intervention(s) Administered
An overview of the study interventions is provided in Table 1.  Investigators should note 
the following:

GSK3196165 and placebo will be administered by weekly subcutaneous (SC) 
injection; participants randomised to sarilumab will receive SC injections of 
sarilumab every other week, plus a placebo injection in the intervening weeks to 
maintain the blind.

Study SC injection should be administered weekly, on the same day each week.  
The weekly SC injections of study intervention should rotate between the thighs 
and abdomen.

CONFIDENTIAL
202018
43

A window of 2 days is acceptable for the SC injection (minimum gap of 5 days 
between each dose, for no more than 2 consecutive doses).  Participants should 
return to their 7 day dosing schedule as soon as possible thereafter.

Participants must receive their SC injection at the site and be monitored for 
general safety for 1 hour after the injection at Weeks 0, 1, 12, and 13; the safety 
monitoring at Weeks 12 and 13 is due to the switch of the placebo participants to 
active intervention at the Week 12 visit.  Safety monitoring will include 
monitoring for systemic hypersensitivity and local injection site reactions.

Until such time as GSK3196165 becomes available in a pre-filled syringe, every 
SC injection must be delivered by an unblinded administrator and the syringe 
must be shielded from the participant at all times, to avoid unblinding.

If/when GSK3196165 becomes available in a pre-filled syringe, the SC injection 
must still be delivered by an unblinded administrator at weeks corresponding to 
sarilumab dosing (i.e. Weeks 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22), to avoid 
unblinding.  Self-administration of pre-filled syringe may be permitted on 
intervening weeks (i.e. Weeks 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 23).  Prior to 
permitting home dosing, the investigator must first ensure the participant (or 
caregiver) is able to correctly administer the injection from PFS.  Any participant 
who doses at home must be instructed to contact the site immediately if they 
experience any symptoms following dosing.

Where possible, assessment visits should be scheduled to coincide with the 
weekly administration of study SC injection, the injection will then be 
performed at the site, after completion of PK sampling (see Section 1.3).

Participants who are initially dosed with SC injections of study intervention 
supplied from vials, should continue to be dosed from the vials until at least Week 
12 to coincide with the timing of the primary endpoint unless this is impractical 
due to supply issues; these participants may be switched to SC injections from the 
pre-filled syringes after Week 12, if sufficient supply is available.

Participants who are initially dosed with SC injections of study intervention from 
the pre-filled syringes should continue to be dosed in this manner for the duration 
of the study providing sufficient supplies are available.
In parallel to receiving study intervention, all participants will receive a stable dose of 
background csDMARD(s) (refer to Section 6.5).  Any participant whose background 
DMARD is MTX must also receive ≥5 mg/week folic (or folinic) acid orally (dosing 
regimen at the discretion of the investigator). Dose modifications to background
DMARDs are discussed in Section 6.6.2.
All local standard-of-care practices for the administration of csDMARD(s), including 
laboratory testing, follow-up care, contraindications, and (for MTX) folic acid 
administration, should be performed throughout the study.

6.1.1.
Medical Devices

The medical devices provided for use in this study are injection devices: 
o
a prefilled syringe (PFS) containing 150 mg or 90 mg otilimab solution, or 
placebo, assembled into a safety syringe device (SSD)
o
a prefilled syringe containing 200 mg sarilumab solution.  
The otilimab PFS/SSD devices used in the study are representative of the 
devices and regionally appropriate device instructions planned to be marketed 
for the product.

The components that comprise the otilimab and placebo PFS/SSD, including glass 
barrel with prestaked needle, flange, plunger and needle guard are sourced for GSK 
by a third-party provider.  The otilimab and placebo PFS is filled and assembled 
with the safety syringe components by GSK (or its affiliates). 

The sarilumab PFS is marketed, manufactured and assembled by Sanofi and 
Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (or its affiliates).

The instructions for use (IFU) for these injection devices are provided in the study 
reference manual (SRM).  

The otilimab and placebo PFS instructions were developed and optimised as a result 
of formative human factors (HF) studies and are representative of those that are 
planned for the product.  The summary HF information will be provided in the 
regulatory submission.
All device deficiencies (including malfunction, use error and inadequate labelling) shall 
be documented and reported by the investigator throughout the clinical investigation (see 
Section 8.3.8) and appropriately managed by the sponsor.
6.2.
Preparation/Handling/Storage/Accountability

The site pharmacist or unblind administrator 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 
authorised 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 authorised 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 SRM.


2018N385816_02
CONFIDENTIAL
202018
47

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.

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.
6.3.
Measures to Minimise Bias: Randomisation and Blinding
All participants will be centrally randomised using Interactive Response Technology 
(IRT). Before the study is initiated, the log in information and directions for the IRT will 
be provided to each site.  Study intervention will be dispensed at the study visits 
summarised in the SoA for the treatment period (Section 1.3). Returned study 
intervention should not be re-dispensed to the participants.
The IRT will be programmed with blind-breaking instructions. In case of an emergency, 
the investigator has the sole responsibility for determining if unblinding of a participant’s 
intervention assignment is warranted. Participant safety must always be the first 
consideration in making such a determination. If the investigator decides that unblinding 
is warranted, the investigator should make every effort to contact GSK or designee prior 
to unblinding a participant’s intervention assignment unless this could delay emergency 
intervention of the participant. If a participant’s intervention assignment is unblinded 
GSK must be notified within 24 hours after breaking the blind. The date and reason that 
the blind was broken must be recorded in the source documentation and case report form, 
as applicable.
Participants will be randomised in a ratio of 6:6:6:1:1:1 to receive study intervention 
(Section 1.2 and Section 6.1).  Investigators will remain blinded to each participant’s 
assigned study intervention throughout the course of the study.  To maintain this blind, all 
participants will receive once-weekly SC injections for the duration of the treatment 
period. Until such time as a matched placebo becomes available for GSK3196165, every 
SC injection must be delivered by an unblinded administrator and the syringe must be 
shielded from the participant to avoid unblinding.
The sarilumab dosing regimen is every other week, therefore participants randomised to 
sarilumab will receive SC injections of sarilumab every other week, plus a placebo 
injection in the intervening weeks to maintain the blind.  This will be managed by the 
IRT.  In addition, regardless of whether PFS are available, on weeks corresponding to 
sarilumab dosing (weeks 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22), all participants must 
receive their study SC injection from an unblinded administrator, with the injection 
syringe shielded from the participant, to avoid unblinding.
An unblinded pharmacist (or unblinded designee) will be responsible for the dispensation 
of the study intervention and will endeavour to ensure that there are no differences in 
time taken to dispense between the different intervention arms.  While the study drug is 


2018N385816_02
CONFIDENTIAL
202018
48
supplied in vials, care will be taken to ensure that participants are not able to see the 
injection volume, syringe size or colour of liquid. The syringe should be prepared away 
from view of the participant, and appropriate shielding or masking of the syringe applied 
prior to administration.
In addition, in order to maintain the integrity of the blind, investigators and site staff will 
not have access to ongoing post-randomisation hsCRP/ESR analyses and should refrain 
from performing either routine ESR or CRP assessments unless clinically indicated for 
AE assessment.  Furthermore, the results of the PK analyses of GSK3196165 will not be 
provided to the sites.
In order to reduce bias, an independent joint assessor will perform all joint assessments 
(Section 8.1.1).
Unblinded monitors and in the event of a Quality Assurance audit, the auditor(s) will be 
allowed access to unblinded study intervention records at the site(s) to verify that 
randomisation/dispensing has been done accurately.
A participant may continue in the study if that participant’s intervention assignment is 
unblinded.
GSK’s Pharma Safety 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.
6.4.
Study Intervention Compliance
GSK3196165 or matching placebo will be administered by SC injection at the times 
indicated in the SoA (Section 1.3).  Participants should receive all doses per schedule, 
however exceptional circumstances may lead to a dose being missed.  If a dose is missed, 
the dose may be rescheduled to a new date/time providing the new date is within the SoA 
window for the missed dose.  If the dose cannot be rescheduled within the visit window, 
the dose must not be given outside the window and must be marked as missed in the IRT.  
After a missed dosed, further dosing may continue per SoA with the following 
requirements:

Except for doses temporarily interrupted for safety reasons, the investigator must 
meet to discuss compliance with the study intervention with any participant who 
appears to be non-compliant.

If the participant continues to be non-compliant and missed further doses, the 
investigator may decide to permanently discontinue the participant from study 
intervention and initiate standard of care.  The participant will be encouraged to 
continue to attend study visits until week 24.
A record of the number of study intervention injections dispensed to and taken by each 
participant must be maintained by the site staff and reconciled with study intervention

49
and compliance records.  Intervention start and stop dates, including dates for 
intervention delays will also be recorded in the CRF. 
6.5.
Prior and Concomitant Therapies
Due to effect of cytokines on the CYP450 enzymes (Section 2.3.1) initiation or 
discontinuation of study intervention may have clinically relevant effect for CYP
substrates with a narrow therapeutic index e.g. warfarin and theophylline.  Where a 
CYP3A4 substrate drug is co-administered during the study, in addition to recording the 
initial dose and any dosage changes over time in the CRF, the results of any therapeutic 
monitoring (e.g. INR results), if available, should also be recorded.
Investigators should exercise caution when study intervention is co-administered with 
CYP3A4 substrate drugs where decrease in effectiveness is undesirable, e.g., oral 
contraceptives, lovastatin, atorvastatin, etc.
6.5.1.
Permitted Therapies
Medications or treatments deemed necessary by the investigator to provide supportive 
care will be permitted during the study except when administration would occur during a 
time of restricted use, as in Table 2, or if the medication is specifically excluded, as in 
Section 6.5.2.  The permitted dose is the usual marketed dose approved in the country in 
which the study is being conducted. Any use of these medications must be recorded in 
the eCRF, along with:

reason for use

dates of administration including start and end dates

dosage information including dose and frequency
The Medical Monitor should be contacted if there are any questions regarding 
concomitant or prior therapy. The requirements for use of specific permitted 
medications/treatments are listed in Table 2.

Dose Modification
6.6.1.
Dose Modification of Study Intervention
Dose adjustment of the study SC injection is not permitted in this study.
The dose adjustment criteria described in the Sarilumab prescribing information has been 
incorporated in the study stopping criteria (refer to the temporary discontinuation and 
stopping criteria guidance in Section 7).
6.6.2.
Dose Modification of Background Therapy
Dose reduction or temporary interruption of the background csDMARD medication(s) 
may be performed at any time for safety reasons (e.g. intolerance or toxicity) but must be 
clearly documented.  If clinically indicated, csDMARD may be re-started following an
interruption and increased back to the dose taken prior to the change.
Dose modifications for reasons other than safety are not permitted during the study 
treatment period.
6.7.
Intervention after the End of the Study
Participants who complete the 24-week treatment period may have the option to 
transition into long term extension study 209564.  Exceptionally, participants who missed 
their final dose at Week 23 in this study may still be eligible, after consultation with the 
medical monitor.  Participants receiving GSK3196165 in this study will continue to
receive the same dose in the extension study.  Participants receiving sarilumab in this 
study will be re-randomised in a 1:1 ratio to either GSK3196165 90 mg or GSK3196165 
150 mg once-weekly in the extension study, following a blinded washout period (three 
weeks of placebo SC injection).
Participants who do not transition into long term extension study 209564, will not receive 
any further treatment with GSK3196165 but will be treated according to local standard of 
care for RA disease.

DISCONTINUATION OF STUDY INTERVENTION AND
PARTICIPANT DISCONTINUATION/WITHDRAWAL
7.1.
Discontinuation of Study Intervention
In rare instances, it may be necessary for a participant to permanently discontinue study 
intervention. A participant will permanently discontinue study intervention if there is no 
longer a positive risk:benefit ratio at any time point in the study as determined by the 
investigator. If study intervention is permanently discontinued, the participant will, where 
possible, remain in the study and continue with study visits in order to be evaluated for 
efficacy and safety.  These participants will not be eligible for the long term extension 
study 209564.

Temporary Discontinuation
7.1.3.1.
Respiratory Symptoms
Study intervention will be temporarily discontinued if a participant develops a persistent 
cough (CTCAE Grade ≥2) [NCI, 2017] or persistent dyspnoea (dyspnoea scale Grade 
2) for 3 consecutive weeks (21 days).  The participant should be referred to a 
pulmonologist for further assessment.  Study intervention should remain suspended until 
the symptoms or signs that caused referral have resolved and/or the diagnosis has been 
determined and clinically significant events have been excluded by the pulmonologist. 
Participants with a confirmed diagnosis of pulmonary alveolar proteinosis must 
permanently discontinue study intervention (Section 7.1). Suggested pulmonary 
assessment and management algorithms are provided in a separate Pulmonary Safety 
Guidance Document in the SRM.


Lymphocyte count <0.5 x 109/L
The local repeat test must be performed and assessed within 7 days (ideally 3-5 days), 
with additional sample(s) sent for central testing.
If study intervention is temporarily discontinued, the abnormality must be reported as an 
AE and a further repeat test should be performed within 7 days of discontinuation.  The 
medical monitor should be consulted if the repeat test is still abnormal.  Study 
intervention can be restarted if the haematological parameters rise above these values.
7.1.3.4.
TB Reactivation
Study intervention may be temporarily discontinued for the following after consultation 
with the medical monitor:

Suspected TB reactivation (see Section 8.2.7.4).
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, compliance or administrative reasons. This is expected to be 
uncommon.

At the time of discontinuing from the study, if possible, an early withdrawal visit 
should be conducted following the procedures at the Week 24 visit, as shown in 
the SoA (Section 1.3).  A safety follow-up visit should also be scheduled, per the 
SoA, to take place 12 weeks post last dose of study intervention.

The participant will be permanently discontinued both from the study intervention 
and from the study at that time.


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. 
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 summarised in the SoA (Section 1.3). 

Protocol waivers or exemptions are not allowed 

Immediate safety concerns should be discussed with the medical monitor 
immediately upon occurrence or awareness to determine if the participant should 
continue or discontinue study intervention.

Adherence to the study design requirements, including those specified in the SoA 
(Section 1.3), 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 utilised for 
screening or baseline purposes provided the procedure met the protocol-specified 
criteria and was performed within the time frame defined in the SoA (Section 
1.3).

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 400 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.
Joint Assessments
An evaluation of all 68 joints for tenderness and 66 joints for swelling will be performed 
by an independent joint evaluator. Replaced or fused joints are considered non-evaluable 
and will not be included in joint evaluations.  The reason for absence of the evaluations 
of those joints must be recorded.  If a joint has undergone intra-articular injection of 
corticosteroid during the course of the study, the injected joint must be recorded.
One or more independent assessors, who have documented experience in performing 
joint assessments, will be designated at each trial site to perform joint assessments.  
Preferably the same independent assessor will perform all joint assessment for the same 
participant throughout the trial.  The principal investigator must ensure that the 
independent joint assessor has documented experience and he/she is adhering to locally 
accepted and implemented standards.  This also applies if the independent joint assessor 
is replaced during the trial.
The independent joint assessor should have no other contact with the participant during 
the trial, must not be the treating physician (investigator), should not discuss the clinical 
status of the participant with them during the joint assessment nor with other site

Vital Signs

Vital signs should be measured pre-dose, and where possible before blood draws.

Temperature, pulse rate, respiratory rate and blood pressure will be assessed.

Blood pressure and pulse measurements will be assessed with a completely 
automated device. Manual techniques will be used only if an automated device is 
not available. The participant should use the same position throughout all visits.

All blood pressure readings will be recorded using an appropriate cuff size with 
the same arm being used throughout the study.

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).

When the timing of these measurements coincides with blood collection, the 
blood pressure and heart rate should be obtained first.
8.2.5.
Clinical Safety Laboratory Assessments

Refer to Appendix 2 for the list of clinical laboratory tests to be performed and to 
the SoA in Section 1.3 for the timing and frequency. 

All study-required laboratory assessments will be performed by a central 
laboratory except erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), dipstick urinalysis, and 
urine pregnancy tests which will be analysed locally.

The investigator must review the laboratory report, document this review, and 
record any clinically relevant changes occurring during the study in the AE 
section of the CRF. The laboratory reports must be filed with the source 
documents. Clinically significant abnormal laboratory findings are those which 
are not associated with the underlying disease, unless judged by the investigator 
to be more severe than expected for the participant’s condition.

All laboratory tests with values considered clinically significantly abnormal 
during participation in the study or within 15 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. 

If such 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.

In this study, the key laboratory parameters are WBCs, lipids, haemoglobin, 
platelets, lymphocytes, neutrophils and liver function tests.

Participants who develop hyperlipidemia should be managed according to clinical 
guidelines [e.g., National Cholesterol Educational Program (NCEP)].

All protocol-required laboratory assessments, as defined in Appendix 2, must be 
conducted in accordance with the laboratory manual and the SoA (Section 1.3).

Pulmonary Assessments
Pulmonary assessments are a key aspect of the safety monitoring in this study. The 
following pulmonary assessments will be performed as specified in the SoA (Section 
1.3).

Chest X-ray (posteroanterior).

Cough assessment.

Dyspnoea assessment (see Section 8.2.1).

Lung auscultation.

Pulse oximetry.

Pulmonary function tests (PFTs) – spirometry (FEV1 and FVC) at baseline only 
(or prior to Day 1) or as required by the pulmonologist in the event of participant 
referrals for further assessment.
In the event of any new or clinically significant pulmonary abnormalities that may 
develop during the study (e.g., increased shortness of breath/dyspnoea, or unexplained 
and persistent coughing), it is recommended that the participant be referred to a 
pulmonologist for further assessment.  
If, at any time during the study, a participant reports new onset or increase (if present at 
baseline) in cough (CTC Grade ≥2) or dyspnoea (Grade ≥2), they must be asked again 
(either by phone or during the site visit) on a weekly basis for 3 further consecutive 
weeks or until symptoms resolve, if earlier.  Any new onset or worsening cough and/or 
dyspnoea must be reported as an AE.
If a participant experiences persistent cough Grade ≥2 for three consecutive weeks (≥21 
days) or persistent dyspnoea Grade ≥2 for three consecutive weeks (≥21 days), study 
intervention must be temporarily discontinued immediately, and the participant undergo a 
local pulmonologist review within 1-2 days. Chest X-ray and repeat spirometry must be 
performed within 1 week in addition to any other assessments deemed appropriate by the 
consulting pulmonologist. The study intervention must be temporarily discontinued as 
per the pulmonary guidance document until the symptoms or signs that caused referral 
have resolved and/or the underlying diagnosis has been determined and clinically 
significant events have been excluded by the pulmonologist. Pulmonary 
assessment/management algorithms are provided in a separate Pulmonary Safety 
Guidance Document in the SRM.
The participant may undergo additional pulmonary imaging (high-resolution computed 
tomography [HRCT]) or other tests during the study to investigate pulmonary 
abnormalities; the Pulmonary Adjudication Committee (PAC), IDMC or SRT may 
request copies of any reports or images for central review.
Any participant with a diagnosis of pulmonary alveolar proteinosis must permanently 
discontinue study intervention (Section 7.1.2).

Tuberculosis Monitoring
8.2.7.1.
Tuberculosis Status Definitions
In this study the following definitions for active TB, latent TB and adequate treatment of 
latent TB will be utilised. 
Active TB is defined as:

Microbiological evidence of TB (including, but not limited to, microscopy for 
acid-fast bacilli, mycobacterial culture, GeneXpert, or other validated PCR) in 
any clinical sample (including, but not limited to, sputum, pus, or biopsied tissue),
OR

Findings on medical history or clinical examination and/or chest radiograph 
consistent with active TB as assessed by a physician specialising in TB, sufficient 
to warrant empirical treatment for active TB even in the absence of 
microbiological evidence of TB.
Latent TB is defined as:

A positive QuantiFERON-TB Gold plus test or T-SPOT.TB test, no findings on 
medical history or clinical examination consistent with active TB and a normal 
chest radiograph.
Adequate latent TB treatment status
For participants that have received treatment for latent TB within the previous 5 years, a 
participant is considered to have received adequate treatment if a physician specialising 
in TB agrees that:

sufficient evidence exists demonstrating that completion of treatment has 
occurred AND

the participant has no findings on medical history or clinical examination 
consistent with active TB, and a normal chest radiograph.
Appropriate treatment for latent TB is considered to be:

Completion of at least 6 months of INH or an alternative regimen consistent with 
WHO or national guidelines.

Participants who received treatment more than 5 years ago for latent TB infection 
and who remain QuantiFERON-TB Gold plus or T-SPOT.TB test positive will 
need to complete treatment for latent TB prior to study entry as per Section 
8.2.7.3.

8.2.7.2.
Tuberculosis Testing
In this study the following testing for TB must be followed:

The QuantiFERON-TB Gold plus test will be used in countries where it is 
available.  Where QuantiFERON-TB Gold plus test is not available T-SPOT.TB 
will be used.

A QuantiFERON-TB Gold plus test may be repeated once during screening if the 
initial result is indeterminate, alternatively a T-SPOT.TB test may be used 
following an indeterminate result.  This is not considered a rescreening.

Unscheduled TB testing should be performed if a participant is known or 
suspected to have come in close contact with someone who has untreated active
TB.
8.2.7.3.
Treatment of Latent TB During the Study
Participants diagnosed with latent TB during screening will need to complete a course of 
at least 6 months of INH therapy during the study including at least 4 weeks of therapy 
prior to randomisation.
Following 3 weeks of INH treatment in screening, LFTs must be assessed. Participants 
will fail screening if ALT >1.5 x ULN is identified, these participants may be re-screened 
if ALT elevation resolves to ALT <x 1.5 ULN during ongoing INH therapy following 
discussion with the medical monitor. Participants who are randomised will require LFT 
assessment every 4 weeks during the study.
8.2.7.4.
Monitoring for TB Infection and Re-activation During the Study
Routine monitoring for the signs and symptoms of TB will be performed during this 
study as part of every full or brief physical exam (see SoA in Section 1.3).
If at any point during the study, the investigator suspects that a participant may have TB 
reactivation or new TB infection, an immediate and thorough investigation should be 
undertaken including consultation with a physician specialising in TB.  The investigator 
should discuss with the medical monitor and interruption of study intervention should be 
considered.
A QuantiFERON-TB Gold Plus test or a T.SPOT.TB test must be performed as part of 
the Week 22 assessment (see SoA in Section 1.3).  If a participant has a positive result at 
Week 22 who previously had a negative result at study start, then the participant must be 
referred to a physician specialising in TB to determine if the participant has active or 
latent TB.
If TB infection is diagnosed, study intervention must be discontinued.


If a participant, at times other than scheduled visits, reports new onset or an 
increase (if present at baseline) in cough (CTCAE Grade ≥2) or dyspnoea 
(dyspnoea scale Grade ≥2), the participant will be questioned (in clinic or by 
phone) on a weekly basis for 3 further consecutive weeks or until symptoms 
resolve, if earlier.  Any new onset or worsening cough and/or dyspnoea must be 
reported as an AE.
8.3.1.
Time Period and Frequency for Collecting AE and SAE 
Information

All SAEs will be collected from the start of study intervention until the follow-up 
visit (for participants who do not enter the long-term safety study) or the Week 24 
visit (for participants who enter the long-term safety study) at the time points 
specified in the SoA (Section 1.3). 

In addition, any SAEs assessed as related to study participation (e.g., study 
intervention, protocol-mandated procedures, invasive tests, or change in existing 
therapy) or related to a GSK product will be recorded from the time a participant 
consents to participate in the study. In China (and where this is a local 
requirement) all SAEs will be collected from the time of signing informed 
consent.

All AEs will be collected from the start of study intervention until the follow-up 
visit (for participants who do not enter the long-term safety study) or the Week 24 
visit (for participants who enter the long-term safety study) 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 on the Medical History/Current 
Medical Conditions section of the case report form (CRF) not the AE section.

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 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.
8.3.2.
Method of Detecting AEs and SAEs

The method of recording, evaluating, and assessing causality of AEs and SAEs 
and the procedures for completing and transmitting SAE reports are provided in 
Appendix 3.


2018N385816_02
CONFIDENTIAL
202018
70

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. 
8.3.3.
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, and non-serious AEs of special 
interest (as defined in Section 8.3.7), will be followed until the event is resolved, 
stabilised, 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.
8.3.4.
Regulatory Reporting Requirements for SAEs

Prompt notification by the investigator to the sponsor of a 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.

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.

An investigator who receives an investigator safety report describing a SAE or 
other specific safety information e.g., summary or listing of SAE) from the 
sponsor will review and then file it along with the Investigator’s Brochure and 
will notify the IRB/IEC, if appropriate according to local requirements.
8.3.5.
Pregnancy

Details of all pregnancies in female participants and, if indicated, female partners 
of male participants will be collected after the start of study intervention and until 
the safety follow-up visit at Week 34 (or until 12 weeks after the last dose, for 
participants who withdraw from the study early).

If a pregnancy is reported, the investigator should inform GSK within 24 hours of 
learning of the pregnancy and should follow the procedures outlined in Appendix 
4.

Female participants who become pregnant after the start of study intervention 
must be permanently discontinue study intervention but can continue to be 
followed in the study if they wish (Section 7.1.2).  If the participant does not wish 
to continue in the study, follow guidance in Section 7.2.

Abnormal pregnancy outcomes (e.g., spontaneous abortion, fetal death, stillbirth, 
congenital anomalies, ectopic pregnancy) are considered SAEs.

8.3.6.
Cardiovascular and Death Events
For any cardiovascular (CV) events detailed in Appendix 3 and all deaths, whether or not 
they are considered SAEs, specific CV and Death sections of the CRF will be required to 
be completed. These sections include questions regarding CV (including sudden cardiac 
death) and non-CV death. 
The CV CRFs are presented as queries in response to reporting of certain CV MedDRA 
(Medical dictionary for regulatory activities) terms. The CV information should be 
recorded in the specific CV section of the CRF within one week of receipt of a CV Event 
data query prompting its completion. 
The Death CRF is provided immediately after the occurrence or outcome of death is 
reported. Initial and follow-up reports regarding death must be completed within one 
week of when the death is reported.
Investigators will be required to fill out event specific data collection tools 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.

Revascularisation.
This information should be recorded in the specific CV CRF/eCRF within one week of 
when the AE/SAE(s) are first reported.
8.3.7.
AEs of Special Interest
The potential risks with GSK3196165 are discussed in Section 2.3.1. 
Adverse events of special interest (AESIs) for GSK3196165 include:


Medical Device Deficiencies
Medical devices are being provided for use in this study, in the form of pre-filled 
syringes.  In order to fulfil regulatory reporting obligations worldwide, the investigator is 
responsible for the detection and documentation of events meeting the definitions of 
device deficiency that occur during the study with such devices.
The definition of a Medical Device Deficiency can be found in Appendix 9.
NOTE: Incidents fulfilling the definition of an AE/SAE will also follow the processes 
outlined in Section 8.3.3 and Appendix 3 of the protocol.
8.3.8.1
Time Period for Detecting Medical Device Deficiencies

Medical device deficiencies will be detected, documented, and reported during 
all periods of the study in which the medical device is used. 

If the investigator learns of any device deficiency at any time after a participant 
has been discharged from the study, and such device deficiency is considered 
reasonably related to a medical device provided for the study, the investigator 
will promptly notify the sponsor.

The method of documenting Medical Device Incidents is provided in Appendix 
9.
8.3.8.2
Follow-up of Medical Device Deficiencies

Follow-up applies to all participants, including those who discontinue study 
intervention or the study.

The investigator is responsible for ensuring that follow-up includes any 
supplemental investigations as indicated to elucidate the nature and/or causality 
of the deficiency.

New or updated information will be recorded on the originally completed form 
with all changes signed and dated by the investigator.
8.3.8.3
Prompt Reporting of Medical Device Deficiencies to Sponsor

Device deficiencies will be reported to the sponsor using the Medical Device 
Deficiency Report Form (provided in the Pharmacy Manual), within 24 hours 
after the investigator determines that the event meets the protocol definition of a 
device deficiency.


2018N385816_02
CONFIDENTIAL
202018
73

The Medical Device Deficiency Report Form will be sent to the sponsor device 
complaints email address, as provided in the Pharmacy Manual.

The sponsor will be the contact for the receipt of device deficiency reports.

Refer to the Pharmacy Manual for further guidance.
8.3.8.4
Regulatory Reporting Requirements for Medical Device Incidents

The investigator will promptly report all deficiencies occurring with any medical 
device provided for use in the study in order for the sponsor to fulfil the legal 
responsibility to notify appropriate regulatory authorities and other entities about 
certain safety information relating to medical devices being used in clinical 
studies.

The investigator, or responsible person according to local requirements (e.g., the 
head of the medical institution), will comply with the applicable local regulatory 
requirements relating to the reporting of device deficiencies to the IRB/IEC.
8.4.
Treatment of Overdose
For this study, any dose of GSK3196165 or sarilumab greater than the dose used in this 
study, or used more frequently than permitted (GSK3196165 once-weekly, sarilumab 
every other week) will be considered an overdose.  It should be noted that the minimum 
time between dosing with GSK3196165 is 5 days but it is strongly recommended that 
dosing should revert back to 7 days as soon as possible.
No specific treatment is recommended for an overdose of GSK3196165, and the 
investigator should treat as clinically indicated. Investigators should refer to the approved 
product label or local prescribing information for treatment of an overdose of sarilumab.
In the event of a potential overdose, the investigator should:

Contact the Medical Monitor immediately.

Closely monitor the participant for AE/SAE and laboratory abnormalities.

Obtain a plasma sample for PK analysis within 3-5 days from the date of the last 
dose of study intervention if requested by the Medical Monitor (determined on a
case-by-case basis).

Contact the unblinded CRA/Monitor with the quantity and duration of the 
overdose to be documented.
Decisions regarding dose interruptions or modifications will be made by the investigator 
in consultation with the Medical Monitor based on the clinical evaluation of the 
participant.
8.5.
Pharmacokinetics

Whole blood samples of approximately 3.5 mL will be collected prior to dosing, 
for measurement of serum concentrations of GSK3196165 at the visits specified 
in the SoA (Section 1.3); SC study intervention must be withheld until after PK 


2018N385816_02
CONFIDENTIAL
202018
74
sampling has been performed.  The actual date and time (24-hour clock time) of 
each sample will be recorded.

Samples will be used to evaluate the PK of GSK3196165. Each serum sample will 
be divided into 2 aliquots (1 each for PK and target engagement (TE) [Section 
8.8]). Samples collected for analyses of GSK3196165 serum concentration may 
also be used to evaluate safety or efficacy aspects related to concerns arising 
during or after the study.

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.  Further details on the blood 
sample collection, processing, storage and shipping procedures are provided in the 
Central Laboratory Manual.

Note: Drug concentration information that would unblind the study will not be 
reported to investigative sites or blinded personnel until the study has been 
unblinded.
8.6.
Pharmacodynamics
The pharmacodynamic (PD) biomarkers evaluated in this study are described in Section 
8.8.
8.6.1.
Target engagement
The same blood samples obtained for PK analysis (see Section 8.5) will also be assessed 
for target engagement of GSK3196165, by measurement of serum concentrations of 
soluble GM-CSF-GSK3196165 complex, at the time points specified in the SoA (Section 
1.3).  Excess material from the immunogenicity baseline Day 1 blood sample (see 
Section 8.9) will be assessed for serum concentrations of free GM-CSF.
8.7.
Genetics
A 6 mL blood sample for DNA isolation will be collected from participants who have 
consented to participate in the genetics analysis component of the study. Participation is 
optional. Participants who do not wish to participate in the genetic research may still 
participate in the study.
In the event of DNA extraction failure, a replacement genetic blood sample may be 
requested from the participant. Signed informed consent will be required to obtain a 
replacement sample unless it was included in the original consent.
See Appendix 5 for Information regarding genetic research.  Further details on the blood 
sample collection, processing, storage and shipping procedures are provided in the 
Central Laboratory Manual.

The primary objective of the study is to determine whether GSK3196165 is superior to 
placebo in the treatment of participants with moderately to severely active RA despite 
treatment with biological DMARDs and/or Janus Kinase inhibitors (i.e. bDMARD-IR 
and/or JAK-IR), as assessed by the proportion of participants achieving ACR20 at Week 
12. 
The study will test the null hypothesis that there is no difference between 150 mg dose of
GSK3196165 and placebo in the proportion of participants achieving ACR20 response at 
Week 12 versus the alternative hypothesis that the 150 mg dose of GSK3196165 differs
from placebo in the proportion of participants with ACR20 response at Week 12.
9.2.
Sample Size Determination
Approximately 1050-1200 participants will be screened to achieve between 525 and 600 
randomly assigned to study intervention. Approximately 525 evaluable participants are 
expected to be included in the primary analysis, of whom approximately 473 are expected 
to complete the week 12 visit. When the approximate target of 525 participants is 
reached, recruitment may continue up to a maximum of 600 participants to ensure 
sufficient numbers in the key Asian country subgroup.
For the purpose of analyses up to week 12, the placebo-sequence groups will be pooled 
into a single pooled placebo arm.
The minimum sample size of 525 will provide:

96% power to detect a 25% difference between GSK3196165 and the pooled 
placebo group in ACR20 response rate (52% vs. 27%) at Week 12 based on a 2-
sided significance level of 0.05, using a pooled Z-test. The Least Significant 
Difference this sample size will detect is 13.3%.

In addition, the above sample size will detect a Least Significant Difference of 3.5 
against sarilumab in the CDAI score change from baseline at Week 12, based on a 
2-sided significance level of 0.05, using a Z-test assuming equal variance of 15.6 
in each group.
The above sample size and power estimates were obtained from PASS version 12.0.2.
9.2.1.
Sample Size Sensitivity
The power of the primary analysis of the study will be affected by changes in the 
assumed response rate. The effect on power under varying response rates on both placebo 
and GSK3196165 assuming a fixed sample size of 150 in the GSK3196165 arm and 75 in 
the placebo arm, based on a 2-sided significance level of 0.05, using a pooled Z-test are 
shown in Table 4:

Populations for Analyses
For purposes of analysis, the following populations are defined:
Population
Description
Enrolled
All participants who sign the ICF
Intent-to-treat (ITT)
All randomised participants who receive at least one dose of study 
intervention.
Per-protocol (PP)
All randomised participants who are compliant with intervention, who 
do not have significant protocol violations, and whose investigator site 
does not have any GCP issues that require report to the regulatory 
agencies.
Safety
All randomised participants who take at least 1 dose of study 
intervention. Participants will be analysed according to the 
intervention they actually received.
The primary analysis population will be the ITT population. In addition, the primary and 
major secondary analyses will be repeated using the PP population. Full details of all 
protocol violations that lead to exclusion from the PP population will be listed in the 
Reporting and Analysis plan (RAP).

9.4.
Statistical Analyses
Full details of all analyses will be described in the RAP.
The primary analysis will be performed when the minimum target sample size of 525 has 
been achieved.  All inferences will be drawn from the primary analysis.
The proposed sequence of primary and key secondary endpoints is:
1. ACR20 at week 12
2. HAQ-DI at week 12
3. CDAI total score at week 12
4. Pain VAS at week 12
In order to preserve the type I error, each endpoint will be assessed sequentially using a 
step-down approach where statistical significance can be claimed for the second endpoint 
only if the first endpoint in the sequence meets the requirements for significance.
Additionally, as there are two doses of GSK3196165 within each endpoint, each to be 
compared with placebo, a step-down procedure, where the high dose will be tested first, 
will be used within each endpoint, i.e. the high dose (150mg) at a given endpoint can 
achieve significance only if the high dose at the prior endpoint is significant; the low dose 
(90mg) at a given endpoint can achieve significance only if both the high dose at the 
same endpoint and the low dose at the prior endpoint are significant. For each endpoint, 
and for each GSK3196165 dose group, the comparison will be conducted using a 2-sided 
significance level of 0.05.
The comparisons for ACR20 and HAQ-DI will be against placebo, after which the 
comparisons for CDAI and Pain VAS will be against sarilumab. The schematic is shown 
in Appendix 8.
This step-down approach strongly protects the Type I error rate at the 0.05 (2-sided) level 
across endpoints within each dose and across doses within each endpoint. However, there 
is weak control of the Type I error rate when the low dose at the first endpoint and the 
high dose at the second endpoint are tested simultaneously. Note this is only a risk in 
situations where the high dose has some effect at the first endpoint but not the second, 
and the low dose is not effective at the first endpoint. This is a situation that is not 
expected since if the high dose is effective for a given endpoint, there is likely to be some 
effect (non-zero) at the low dose.

Efficacy Analyses
Endpoint
Statistical Analysis Methods
Primary
The proportion of participants with ACR20 response will be summarised 
using counts and proportions of responders, and analysed using a 
Generalised Estimating Equations (GEE) model, comparing intervention 
group with placebo at each time point, with fixed effects of intervention, visit, 
baseline swollen joint count (66), baseline tender joint count (68), previously 
failed medication, intervention-by-visit interaction and a random effect of 
participant.
Secondary
The CDAI total score will be expressed as a change from baseline and will be 
analysed using a mixed effect repeated measures model (MMRM) with fixed 
effects of intervention, visit, baseline value, intervention-by-visit interaction 
and a random effect of participant. An unstructured covariance structure will 
be used to model the between and within-participant errors, however if this 
analysis fails to converge, other structures will be tested. The Kenward-
Roger method will be used to estimate the degrees of freedom. Least 
Squares means will be used for the statistical comparisons; CIs will also be 
reported. Intervention group comparisons versus placebo at week 12 and 
other visits will be tested.
The HAQ-DI total score will be analysed using the same method as 
described above for CDAI total score. 
The Pain VAS will be analysed using the same method as described above 
for CDAI total score.
Additional 
Secondary 
and 
Exploratory
Will be described in the reporting and analysis plan
9.4.1.1.
Estimand strategy
The main intercurrent (post-randomisation) event anticipated to impact on the 
interpretation of the treatment effect for the primary objective is withdrawal from study 
intervention.
The estimand for the primary comparison will be defined using:
1. Population: defined through the inclusion/exclusion criteria
2. Variable: Proportion of participants at week 12 with ACR20 response
3. Intercurrent Event: the participant withdrew from intervention
4. Population Level Summary: Comparisons of proportions between the active 
groups and placebo


2018N385816_02
CONFIDENTIAL
202018
81
The primary estimand used will be the treatment policy estimand.  This follows the 
principle that participants should be followed up, assessed and analysed irrespective of 
compliance to planned intervention.  This strategy answers the question of what the effect 
is of assigning participants to an intervention.  Therefore, if a participant withdraws from 
study intervention but efficacy data continues to be collected, their data will be analysed 
as if they were still on the original randomised intervention.
Further details will be provided in the RAP on any sensitivity estimators 
and supplementary estimands used to assess the primary objective and any estimands 
used to assess the secondary objectives.
9.4.2.
Safety Analyses
All safety analyses will be performed on the Safety Population. 
Endpoint
Statistical Analysis Methods
Secondary
For safety data, no formal hypotheses will be tested. Incidence of AEs, SAEs, and 
AESIs, including laboratory tests, vital signs, pulmonary function tests and 12-Lead 
ECGs will be displayed in the form of listings, frequencies, summary statistics, 
graphs and statistical analyses where appropriate. Interpretation will be aided by 
clinical expertise. Full details, including example outputs, will be documented in the 
RAP.
9.4.3.
Other Analyses
PK, pharmacodynamic, and biomarker exploratory analyses will be described in the 
reporting and analysis plan, as well as PROs (Patient Reported Outcomes). The 
population PK analysis and pharmacodynamic analyses will be presented separately from 
the main clinical study report (CSR). 
9.5.
Interim Analyses
The primary analysis will be conducted when the planned target of 525 randomised 
participants has been reached. No interim analysis with respect to this population is 
planned. However, if at the time of reaching approximately 525 randomised participants a 
sufficient number of participants that are required for the key Asian country subgroups is 
not reached, then recruitment in these countries may continue. Participants who have 
already been enrolled from Asian country subgroups at the time of reaching the 525 
target will be included in the primary analysis. Double-blinding will be maintained for 
any subjects continuing in the study at the time of the primary analysis. The primary 
analysis will be the basis of all inferences. If enrolment continues beyond the planned 
target of 525 randomised participants, secondary analyses will be conducted upon 
completion of enrolment/follow-up for the entire study population, based on all 
randomised subjects.

CRF unless transmitted to the sponsor or designee electronically (e.g., 
laboratory data). The investigator is responsible for verifying that data entries 
are accurate and correct by physically or electronically signing the CRF. 

This study uses a number of assessments and questionnaires to evaluate the 
participant’s symptoms and impacts at a particular moment in time (see efficacy 
assessments listed in Section 8.1).  These patient-reported outcomes and impact 
instruments completed directly by participants, investigators and joint assessors 
as source records (e.g. site tablet or electronic clinical outcome assessment 
(eCOA) portal contribute to the secondary and exploratory endpoints and must 
not be changed or overwritten (with the exception of administrative/operational 
data items), in order to minimize bias.

The investigator must maintain accurate documentation (source data) that 
supports the information entered in the CRF. 

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 (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.

The sponsor or designee is responsible for the data management of this study 
including quality checking of the data. 

The sponsor assumes accountability for actions delegated to other individuals 
(e.g., Contract Research Organisations).

Study monitors will perform ongoing source data verification to confirm that 
data entered into the CRF by authorised site personnel are accurate, complete, 
and verifiable from source documents; that the safety and rights of participants 
are being protected; and that the study is being conducted in accordance with the 
currently approved protocol and any other study agreements, ICH GCP, and all 
applicable regulatory requirements. 

Records and documents, including signed ICF, pertaining to the conduct of this 
study must be retained by the investigator for 25 years from the issue of the final 
Clinical Study Report (CSR)/ equivalent summary unless local regulations or 
institutional policies require a longer retention period. No records may be 
destroyed during the retention period without the written approval of the 
sponsor. No records may be transferred to another location or party without 
written notification to the sponsor.

NOTES :
1.
Details of liver chemistry stopping criteria and required actions and follow-up assessments after liver stopping or 
monitoring event are given in Section 7.1 and Appendix 6. All events of ALT 3 × upper limit of normal (ULN) and 
bilirubin 2 × ULN (>35% direct bilirubin) or ALT 3 × ULN and international normalised ratio (INR) >1.5, if INR 
measured, which may indicate severe liver injury (possible Hy’s Law), must be reported as an SAE (excluding 
studies of hepatic impairment or cirrhosis).
2.
Local urine testing will be standard for the protocol unless serum testing is required by local regulation or IRB/IEC.
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. This 
includes results of PK analyses, ESR (performed locally by an unblinded independent 
study team member) and hsCRP.  The only exception is the result of ESR and hsCRP at
the participant’s final assessment visit, if the participant is moving to the extension study.
Note: Monitoring of CRP/hsCRP during the course of this study by local measurements, 
is not permitted, in order to protect the blind.  However individual local measured 
CRP/hsCRP may be performed if required for safety reasons.

Appendix 3: Adverse Events: Definitions and Procedures for 
Recording, Evaluating, Follow-up, and Reporting

This Appendix contains definitions and procedures required for AEs and SAEs 
which do not involve Medical Devices used in this study (see Section 6.1.1 for the 
list of medical devices).

Refer to Appendix 9 for definitions and reporting requirements of Medical Device 
AEs, SAEs, incidents and deficiencies.
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.
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).

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 drug-drug 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 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.

If an event is not an AE per definition above, then it cannot be an SAE even if serious 
conditions are met (e.g., hospitalisation for signs/symptoms of the disease under study, 
death due to progression of disease).
A SAE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose:
Results in death
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.
Requires inpatient hospitalisation or prolongation of existing hospitalisation
In general, hospitalisation signifies that the participant has been detained (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 hospitalisation are AE. If a 
complication prolongs hospitalisation or fulfils any other serious criteria, the event is 
serious. When in doubt as to whether “hospitalisation” occurred or was necessary, the AE 
should be considered serious.
Hospitalisation for elective treatment of a pre-existing condition that did not worsen from 
baseline is not considered an AE.

Results in persistent 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 (eg, sprained ankle) which may interfere with or prevent 
everyday life functions but do not constitute a substantial disruption.
Is a congenital anomaly/birth defect
Other situations:

Medical or scientific judgment should be exercised in deciding whether SAE 
reporting is appropriate in other situations such as important medical events that may 
not be immediately life-threatening or result in death or hospitalisation but may 
jeopardise 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.
Examples of such events include invasive or malignant cancers, intensive treatment 
in an emergency room or at home for allergic bronchospasm, blood dyscrasias or 
convulsions that do not result in hospitalisation, or development of drug dependency 
or drug 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

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 (eg, hospital progress notes, laboratory, and diagnostics reports) 
related to the event.

The investigator will then record all relevant AE/SAE information in the CRF.

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 /AE/SAE CRF page.

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.
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 utilised 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 


2018N385816_02
CONFIDENTIAL
202018
94
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.
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 recognised 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 completed CRF.

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) in order to report the event within 24 hours.

The site will enter the SAE data into the electronic system as soon as it becomes 
available.

The investigator or medically-qualified sub-investigator must show evidence within 
the eCRF (e.g., check review box, signature, etc.) of review and verification of the 


2018N385816_02
CONFIDENTIAL
202018
95
relationship of each SAE to IP/study participation (causality) within 72 hours of SAE 
entry into the eCRF.

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 medical monitor by telephone.

Contacts for SAE reporting can be found in the SRM.
SAE Reporting to GSK via Paper CRF

Secure email transmission of the scanned SAE paper CRF is the preferred method to 
transmit this information to the medical monitor or the SAE coordinator.

In rare circumstances and in the absence of secure email facilities, 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 CRF pages within the designated reporting time frames.

Contacts for SAE reporting can be found in SRM.

Appendix 4: Contraceptive Guidance and Collection of 
Pregnancy Information
10.4.1.
Definitions:
10.4.1.1.
Woman of Childbearing Potential (WOCBP)
A woman is considered fertile following menarche and until becoming post-menopausal 
unless permanently sterile (see below).
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.
10.4.1.2.
Women in the following categories are not considered WOCBP
1. Premenarchal
2. Premenopausal female with 1 of the following:

Documented hysterectomy

Documented bilateral salpingectomy

Documented bilateral oophorectomy
For individuals with permanent infertility due to an alternate medical cause other 
than the above, (e.g., mullerian agenesis, androgen insensitivity), 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.
3. Postmenopausal female

A postmenopausal state is defined as no menses for 12 months without an 
alternative medical cause. 

A high follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) level in the postmenopausal 
range may be used to confirm a postmenopausal state in women not 
using hormonal contraception or hormonal replacement therapy (HRT). 
However, in the absence of 12 months of amenorrhea, confirmation with 
more than one FSH measurement is required. 

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.

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

Vasectomised partner

Note: Vasectomised partner 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.

Highly Effective Methodsb That Are User Dependent Failure rate of <1% per year when used 
consistently and correctly.

Combined (estrogen- and progestogen-containing) hormonal contraception associated with 
inhibition of ovulationc
oral
intravaginal
transdermal

injectable

Progestogen-only hormone contraception associated with inhibition of ovulationc
oral

injectable

Sexual abstinence

Note: 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.
Note: Periodic abstinence (calendar, sympto-thermal, post-ovulation methods), withdrawal (coitus interruptus), 
spermicides only, and lactational amenorrhoea method (LAM) are not acceptable methods of contraception. Male condom 
and female condom should not be used together (due to risk of failure with friction)

Collection of Pregnancy Information:
Male participants with partners who become pregnant

Investigator will attempt to collect pregnancy information on any male participant’s 
female partner of a male study participant who becomes pregnant while participating 
in this study. This applies only to male participants who receive study intervention.

After obtaining the necessary signed informed consent from the pregnant female 
partner directly, the investigator will record pregnancy information on the 
appropriate form and submit it to GSK within 24 hours of learning of the partner’s 
pregnancy. 

The female partner will also be followed to determine the outcome of the pregnancy. 
Information on the status of the mother and child will be forwarded to GSK.

Generally, follow-up will be no longer than 6 to 8 weeks following the estimated 
delivery date. Any termination of the pregnancy will be reported regardless of fetal 
status (presence or absence of anomalies) or indication for procedure. 
Female Participants who become pregnant

Investigator will collect pregnancy information on any female participant, who 
becomes pregnant while participating in this study. 

Information will be recorded on the appropriate form and submitted to GSK within 
24 hours of learning of a participant’s pregnancy. 

Participant will be followed to determine the outcome of the pregnancy. The 
investigator will collect follow up information on participant and neonate, which will 
be forwarded to GSK Generally, follow-up will not be required for longer than 6 to 8 
weeks beyond the estimated delivery date.  

Any termination of pregnancy will be reported, regardless of fetal status (presence or 
absence of anomalies) or indication for procedure. 

While pregnancy itself is not considered to be an AE or SAE, any pregnancy 
complication or elective termination of a pregnancy will be reported as an AE or 
SAE. 

A spontaneous abortion is always considered to be an SAE and will be reported as 
such. 

Any SAE occurring as a result of a post-study pregnancy which is considered 
reasonably related to the study intervention by the investigator, will be reported to 
GSK as described in Appendix 3. While the investigator is not obligated to actively 
seek this information in former study participants, he or she may learn of an SAE 
through spontaneous reporting. 
Any female participant who becomes pregnant while participating will discontinue study 
intervention but may continue in the study and attend all clinic visits if she wishes.

Contraception Eligibility Criteria for Female and Male Participants
Contraceptive use by men or women should be consistent with local regulations 
regarding the methods of contraception for those participating in clinical studies. 
a.
Male Participants:
Male participants are eligible to participate if they agree to the following during the 
intervention period and for at least 12 weeks post last dose of study intervention:

Refrain from donating sperm
PLUS, either:

Be abstinent from heterosexual or homosexual intercourse as their preferred 
and usual lifestyle (abstinent on a long term and persistent basis) and agree to 
remain abstinent 
OR

Must agree to use contraception/barrier as detailed below 
o
Agree to use a male condom AND female partner to use an additional 
highly effective contraceptive method with a failure rate of <1% per 
year (as described in Section 10.4.2) when having sexual intercourse 
with a woman of childbearing potential who is not currently pregnant.
b. Female Participants: 

A female participant is eligible to participate if she is not pregnant or 
breastfeeding, and at least one of the following conditions applies:
o
Is NOT a woman of childbearing potential (WOCBP) as defined in Section 
10.4.1.
OR
o
Is a WOCBP and using a contraceptive method that is highly effective with a 
failure rate of <1% per year (see Section 10.4.2), for 30 days before the first 
dose of study intervention, during the intervention period and at least 12 
weeks after the last dose of study intervention and agrees not to donate eggs 
(ova, oocytes) for the purpose of reproduction during this period.  
Additionally, WOCBP using hormonal contraceptives, including oral, 
injections, implants, and patches, are required to use a secondary method of 
contraception. The investigator should evaluate the effectiveness of the 
contraceptive method in relationship to the first dose of study intervention.

In addition to contraception requirements for study medication as outlined 
above, participants should follow csDMARD local labelling.

A WOCBP must have both: 

A confirmed menstrual period prior to the first dose of study intervention
AND

CONFIDENTIAL
202018
100

A negative highly sensitive pregnancy test (urine or serum as required by 
local regulations) within 24 hours before the first dose of study intervention. 
If a urine test cannot be confirmed as negative (e.g., an ambiguous result), a 
serum pregnancy test is required. In such cases, the participant must be excluded 
from participation if the serum pregnancy result is positive.

The investigator is responsible for review of medical history, menstrual history, 
and recent sexual activity to decrease the risk for inclusion of a woman with an 
early undetected pregnancy
Pregnancy tests for WOCBP are specified in the SoA (Section 1.3).

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 GSK3196165 or RA and related 
diseases. They may also be used to develop tests/assays (including diagnostic tests) 
related to GSK3196165, and RA. Genetic research may consist of the analysis of one 
or more candidate genes or the analysis of genetic markers throughout the genome or 
analysis of the entire genome (as appropriate)

DNA samples will be analysed if it is hypothesised that this may help further 
understand the clinical data. 

The samples may be analysed as part of a multi-study assessment of genetic factors 
involved in the response to GSK3196165 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 GSK3196165 (or study interventions 
of this class) or RA continues but no longer than 15 years after the last participant 
last visit or other period as per local requirements.

These composite endpoints are derived using the data collected from assessments 
described in Section 8.1.
10.7.1.
ACR
The American College of Rheumatology’s definition for calculating improvement in RA 
(ACR20) is calculated as a 20% improvement from baseline in tender and swollen joint 
counts and 20% improvement in 3 of the 5 remaining ACR-core set measures: patient and 
physician global assessments, pain, disability, and an acute-phase reactant.  Similarly, 
ACR50 and ACR70 are calculated with the respective percent improvement.
The specific components of the ACR Assessments that will be used in this study are:

Tender/Painful Joint count (68).

Swollen Joint Count (66).

Pain VAS.

Patient’s Global Assessment of Arthritis.


Acute-phase reactant (hsCRP or ESR).

Health Assessment Questionnaire – Disability Index (HAQ-DI).
10.7.2.
Disease Activity Score
The Disease Activity Score (DAS) assessment is a derived measurement with differential 
weighting given to each component.  The DAS 28(CRP) or DAS 28(ESR) will be 
calculated at each assessment timepoint.
The components of the DAS 28 arthritis assessment include:

Tender/Painful Joint Count (28).

Swollen Joint Count (28).

hsCRP or ESR.

Patient’s Global Assessment of Arthritis.

Device Effects (ADEs), Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) and 
Device Deficiencies: Definition and Procedures for 
Recording, Evaluating, Follow-up, and Reporting

The detection and documentation procedures described in this Appendix apply to 
the medical devices provided for use in the study as detailed in Section 6.1.1.  
Refer to Appendix 3 for all other AE/SAE reporting not involving a medical 
device.

The definitions and procedures detailed in this appendix are in accordance with 
ISO 14155.

Both the investigator and the sponsor will comply with all local medical device 
reporting requirements.
10.9.1.
Definition of Medical Device AE and ADE
Medical Device AE and ADE Definition 

An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence, unintended disease or injury, or 
untoward clinical signs (including abnormal laboratory finding) in study participants, 
users, or other persons, whether or not related to the investigational medical device. 
This definition includes events related to the investigational medical device or 
comparator and events related to the procedures involved except for events in users or 
other persons, which only include events related to investigational devices.

An adverse device effect (ADE) is defined as an adverse event related to the use of an 
investigational medical device. This definition includes any adverse events resulting 
from insufficient or inadequate instructions for use, deployment, implantation, 
installation, or operation, or any malfunction of the investigational medical device as 
well as any event resulting from use error or from intentional misuse of the 
investigational medical device.
10.9.2.
Definition of Medical Device SAE, SADE and USADE
If an event is not an AE per definition above, then it cannot be an SAE even if serious 
conditions are met (e.g., hospitalization for signs/symptoms of the disease under study, 
death due to progression of disease).
A Medical Device SAE is a Medical Device AE that:
a.
Led to death 
b.
Led to serious deterioration in the health of the participant, that either resulted in:
1. A life-threatening illness or injury. 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


2018N385816_02
CONFIDENTIAL
202018
109
2. A permanent impairment of a body structure or a body function,
3. Inpatient or prolonged hospitalization, Planned hospitalization for a pre-existing 
condition, or a procedure required by the protocol, without serious deterioration in 
health, is not considered an SAE
4. Medical or surgical intervention to prevent life-threatening illness or injury or 
permanent impairment to a body structure or a body function
c.
Led to fetal distress, fetal death or a congenital abnormality or birth defect
Serious Adverse Device Effect (SADE) definition

A SADE is defined as an adverse device effect that has resulted in any of the 
consequences characteristic of a serious adverse event.
Unanticipated Serious Adverse Device Effect (USADE) definition

A USADE is a serious adverse device effect which by its nature, incidence, severity or 
outcome has not been identified in the current version of the risk analysis report (see 
Section 2.3.1).
10.9.3.
Definition of Device Deficiency
Device Deficiency definition

A device deficiency is an inadequacy of a medical device with respect to its identity, 
quality, durability, reliability, safety, or performance. Device deficiencies include 
malfunctions, use errors, and inadequate labelling.
10.9.4.
Recording and Follow-Up of Medical Device AE and/or SAE and 
Device Deficiencies
Medical Device AE, SAE and Device Deficiency Recording

When an AE/SAE/device deficiency occurs, it is the responsibility of the investigator 
to review all documentation (e.g., hospital progress notes, laboratory reports, and 
diagnostics reports) related to the event.

The investigator will then record all relevant AE/SAE/device deficiency information in 
the participant’s medical records, in accordance with the investigator’s normal clinical 
practice, and on the appropriate form of the CRF.

It is not acceptable for the investigator to send photocopies of the participant’s medical 
records to GSK in lieu of completion of the AE/SAE/device deficiency CRF page.

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.

202018
110

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.

For device deficiencies, it is very important that the investigator describes any 
corrective or remedial actions taken to prevent recurrence of the incident.

A remedial action is any action other than routine maintenance or servicing of a 
medical device where such action is necessary to prevent recurrence of a device 
deficiency. This includes any amendment to the device design to prevent recurrence.
Assessment of Intensity

The investigator will make an assessment of intensity for each AE/SAE/device 
deficiency reported during the study and assign it to one 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 a SAE. Severe is a category utilized for rating the 
intensity of an event; and both AEs and SAEs 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.

Other measures to evaluate AEs and SAEs may be utilized (e.g., National Cancer 
Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events [NCI-CTCAE]).
Assessment of Causality

The investigator is obligated to assess the relationship between study intervention and 
each occurrence of each AE/SAE/device deficiency

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/device deficiency, the investigator must document in the medical 
notes that he/she has reviewed the AE/SAE/device deficiency and has provided an 


2018N385816_02
CONFIDENTIAL
202018
111
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 a SAE follow-up report with the updated causality assessment.

The causality assessment is one of the criteria used when determining regulatory 
reporting requirements.
Follow-up of Medical Device AE/SAE/device deficiency

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/SAE/device deficiency 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 completed CRF.

The investigator will submit any updated SAE data to GSK within 24 hours of receipt 
of the information.
10.9.5.
Reporting of Medical Device SAEs
Medical Device SAE Reporting to GSK via an Electronic Data Collection Tool

The primary mechanism for reporting an 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) in order 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 medical monitor or the SAE coordinator by telephone.

Contacts for SAE reporting can be found in SRM.


2018N385816_02
CONFIDENTIAL
202018
112
Medical Device SAE Reporting to GSK via Paper CRF

Secure email transmission of the scanned SAE paper CRF is the preferred method to 
transmit this information to the medical monitor or the SAE coordinator.

In rare circumstances and in the absence of secure email facilities, 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 CRF pages within the designated reporting time frames.

Contacts for SAE reporting can be found in the SRM.
10.9.6.
Reporting of SADEs
SADE Reporting to GSK 
NOTE: There are additional reporting obligations for medical device incidents that are 
potentially related to SAEs that must fulfil the legal responsibility to notify appropriate 
regulatory authorities and other entities about certain safety information relating to medical 
devices being used in clinical studies. For medical device deficiencies with no associated 
AE or SAE please refer to Section 8.3.8.4.

Any device deficiency that is associated with an SAE must be reported to GSK 
within 24 hours after the investigator determines that the event meets the definition 
of a device deficiency.

GSK shall review all device deficiencies and determine and document in writing 
whether they could have led to an SAE. These shall be reported to the regulatory 
authorities and IRBs/IECs as required by national regulations.

Contacts for SAE reporting can be found in the SRM.

SUMMARY OF KEY PROTOCOL INFORMATION 
2.1. 
Changes to the Protocol Defined Statistical Analysis Plan 
Changes from the originally planned statistical analysis specified in the protocol 
amendment 2 (Dated: 21/Jan/2020) and protocol addendum Appendix 10_JPN_03 
(Dated:16/JUL/2020) are outlined in Table 1. 
Table 1 
Changes to Protocol Defined Analysis Plan 
Protocol 
Reporting & Analysis Plan 
Statistical Analysis Plan 
Statistical Analysis Plan 
Rationale for Changes 
• 
In order to preserve type 1 
error, each of the primary and 
key secondary endpoints 
(ACR20, HAQ-DI, CDAI and 
Pain VAS) will be assessed 
sequentially using a step-down 
approach.  
• 
The step-down approach 
detailed in the protocol is 
extended to make use of a 
graphical multiple testing 
procedure and the 
principle of alpha-
propagation.  
• 
Additional comparisons for 
superiority versus placebo 
and versus sarilumab on 
the FACIT-Fatigue score 
are added into the 
multiplicity control. 
• 
To ensure that 
comparisons of interest 
are controlled for 
multiplicity per the 
regulatory agency’s 
feedback 
• 
Major Secondary Efficacy 
Endpoints are HAQ-DI, CDAI 
total score and Arthritis Pain 
VAS 
• 
FACIT Fatigue is added as 
a Major Secondary 
Efficacy Endpoint 
• 
Major Secondary Efficacy 
Endpoints are aligned with 
the updated hierarchy 
(described on row above) 
• 
ACR20 will be analysed using 
GEE 
• 
ACR20 will be analysed 
using Logistic Regression 
• 
Missing data handling 
strategies will implement 
multiple imputation to 
generate full analysis 
datasets. GEE analysis

Protocol 
Reporting & Analysis Plan 
Statistical Analysis Plan 
Statistical Analysis Plan 
Rationale for Changes 
provides no additional 
benefit over logistic 
regression when working 
with full datasets 
• 
CDAI total score, HAQ-DI and 
pain VAS will be analysed 
using MMRM 
• 
CDAI total score, HAQ-DI 
and pain VAS will be 
analysed using ANCOVA 
• 
Missing data handling 
strategies will implement 
multiple imputation to 
generate full analysis 
datasets. MMRM analysis 
provides no additional 
benefit over ANCOVA 
when working with full 
datasets  
• 
Intercurrent Event specified as 
discontinuation of study 
intervention  
• 
Additional intercurrent 
events specified: 
o Discontinuation of 
study intervention for 
any reason. 
o  Use of prohibited 
medication 
o  Change in stable 
dose of background 
medication. 
• 
Following regulatory 
feedback. 
• 
For the Japan submission, only 
the analysis of the primary 
endpoint will determine the 
success of the study and this 
will be assessed sequentially 
across doses to control for 
multiplicity, as contained in the 
first two steps of the step-down 
procedure. 
• 
Japan submission will use 
the same multiple testing 
procedure as the global 
submission.  
• 
Following regulatory 
feedback.

Study Objective(s) and Endpoint(s) 
Objectives 
Endpoints 
Primary Objectives 
Primary Endpoints 
• 
To compare the efficacy of 
GSK3196165 at doses of 90 mg and 
150 mg weekly versus placebo for the 
treatment of participants with 
moderately to severely active RA who 
are on a stable background of 
csDMARD(s) and who have had an 
inadequate response to biological 
DMARDs and/or JAK inhibitors. 
• 
Proportion of participants achieving ACR20 at Week 12. 
Secondary Objectives 
Secondary Endpoints 
To Compare: 
• 
Efficacy of GSK3196165 at doses of 
90 mg and 150 mg weekly versus 
sarilumab, for the treatment of 
participants with moderately to 
severely active RA who are on a 
stable background of csDMARD(s) 
and who have had an inadequate 
response to biological DMARDs 
and/or JAK inhibitors. 
Major Secondary Efficacy Endpoints 
Change from baseline at Week 12 (versus placebo) in: 
• 
HAQ-DI 
• 
FACIT-Fatigue 
Change from baseline at Week 24 (versus sarilumab) in: 
• 
CDAI total score 
• 
Arthritis pain VAS 
• 
FACIT-Fatigue 
 
Other Secondary Efficacy Endpoints

Study Design 
Overview of Study Design and Key Features 
 
Design 
Features 
• 
Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, parallel group, multicentre, placebo and active 
comparator (sarilumab)-controlled study of the efficacy and safety of GSK3196165 
in participants with moderately to severely active RA, who have had an inadequate 
response to treatment with bDMARDs and/or JAK inhibitors. 
Dosing 
• 
GSK3196165 and placebo will be administered by weekly subcutaneous (SC) 
injection; participants randomized to sarilumab will receive SC injections of 
sarilumab every other week, plus a placebo injection in the intervening weeks to 
maintain the blind. 
• 
In parallel to receiving study intervention, all participants will receive a stable dose 
of background csDMARD(s) (refer to Section 6.5 of the protocol).  Any participant 
whose background DMARD is MTX must also receive ≥5 mg/week folic (or folinic) 
acid orally (dosing regimen at the discretion of the investigator). Dose modifications 
to background DMARDs are discussed in Section 6.6.2 of the protocol. 
Time & 
Events 
• 
Refer to Appendix 2: Schedule of Activities 
Treatment 
Assignment 
• 
Upon successful screening, participants will be randomised to one of six 
intervention arms, in a ratio of 6:6:6:1:1:1 to GSK3196165 150 mg SC weekly, 
GSK3196165 90 mg SC weekly, sarilumab 200 mg SC every other week or placebo 
(three arms) respectively, all in combination with background csDMARD(s).  
• 
At Week 12, participants in the three placebo arms will switch from placebo to 
active intervention (either GSK3196165 150 mg SC weekly, GSK3196165 90 mg 
SC weekly, or sarilumab 200 mg SC every other week).   
• 
Randomisation will be stratified by previously failed medication (1 bDMARD, >1 
bDMARD or ≥1 JAK inhibitor [regardless of whether bDMARD received in past]). 
• 
For the purpose of all analyses up to week 12, the placebo-sequence arms will be 
pooled into a single placebo arm. 
Interim 
Analysis 
• 
The primary analysis will be conducted when the planned target of 525 randomised 
participants has been reached. No interim analysis with respect to this population is 
planned. However, if at the time of the primary analysis a sufficient number of 
participants that are required for the key Asian subgroup is not reached, then 
recruitment in these countries may continue.

Overview of Study Design and Key Features 
• 
Participants who have already been enrolled from the key Asian country subgroup 
at the time of reaching the 525 target will be included in the primary analysis. 
Double-blinding will be maintained for any subjects continuing in the study at the 
time of the primary analysis. The primary analysis will be the basis of all inferences.  
• 
If enrolment continues beyond the planned target of 525 randomised participants, 
secondary analyses will be conducted upon completion of enrolment/follow-up for 
the entire study population, based on all randomised subjects. 
 
2.4. 
Statistical Hypotheses / Statistical Analyses 
The primary objective of the study is to determine whether GSK3196165 is superior to 
placebo in the treatment of participants with moderately to severely active RA despite 
treatment with biological DMARDs and/or Janus Kinase inhibitors (i.e. bDMARD-IR 
and/or JAK-IR), as assessed by the proportion of participants achieving ACR20 at Week 
12.  
The study will test the null hypothesis that there is no difference between 150 mg dose of 
GSK3196165 and placebo in the proportion of participants achieving ACR20 response at 
Week 12 versus the alternative hypothesis that the 150 mg dose of GSK3196165 differs 
from placebo in the proportion of participants with ACR20 response at Week 12.

PLANNED ANALYSES 
3.1. 
Interim Analyses 
The primary analysis will be conducted when the planned target of 525 randomised 
participants has been reached. No interim analysis with respect to this population is 
planned. However, if at the time of reaching approximately 525 randomised participants a 
sufficient number of participants that are required for the Key Asian subgroup is not 
reached, then recruitment in these countries may continue. Participants who have already 
been enrolled from the key Asian country subgroup at the time of reaching the 525 target 
will be included in the primary analysis. Double-blinding will be maintained for any 
subjects continuing in the study at the time of the primary analysis. The primary analysis 
will be the basis of all inferences. If enrolment continues beyond the planned target of 
525 randomised participants, secondary analyses will be conducted upon completion of 
enrolment/follow-up for the entire study population, based on all randomised subjects. 
 
An Independent Data Monitoring Committee (IDMC) will be utilised in this study to 
ensure ongoing objective medical and/or statistical review of safety data in order to 
protect the welfare of participants in the study and the scientific validity of the study. Full 
details of the data to be reviewed, the frequency of review and members of the committee 
are included in the IDMC Charter [Version 1.0 09 May 2019]. Full details of the analyses 
are included in a separate IDMC RAP [Version 1.0 30 Apr 2020] . Monthly Safety 
Review Team (SRT) reviews will be performed using blinded SDTM datasets and will be 
reviewed using Spotfire software.  
3.2. 
Final Analyses 
The final planned analyses on the primary analysis cohort (i.e. the first approximately 
525 participants) will be performed after the completion of the following sequential steps: 
1. All participants to be included in the primary analyses have completed the study as 
defined in the protocol.  
2. All required database cleaning activities have been completed and final database 
release (DBR) and database freeze (DBF) has been declared by Data Management. 
3. All criteria for unblinding the randomization codes have been met.  
4. Prior to unblinding, all protocol deviations that will result in an exclusion from the 
per-protocol population have been assigned in the analysis dataset. 
5. Randomization codes have been distributed according to Cenduit Interactive 
Response Technology (C.I.R.T) system procedures. 
If required, the final planned analyses on the overarching set will be performed after the 
completion of the following sequential steps: 
1. All additional participants from the key Asian country cohort who are not included in 
the primary analysis have completed the study as defined in the protocol.

Protocol Deviations 
Important protocol deviations (including deviations related to study inclusion/exclusion 
criteria, conduct of the trial, patient management or patient assessment) will be 
summarised by IQVIA CTMS category. GSK subcategories will be included in 
individual subject listings. 
Important deviations and other criteria which result in exclusion from the analysis 
population will also be summarised and listed. (Please refer to Appendix 1: Protocol 
Deviation Management and Definitions for Per Protocol Population). 
Protocol deviations will be tracked by IQVIA and overseen by the GSK study team 
throughout the conduct of the study in accordance with the latest version of the Protocol 
Deviation Management Plan maintained by IQVIA in their TMF system. 
o Data will be reviewed prior to unblinding and freezing the database to ensure all 
important deviations are captured and categorised in the protocol deviations 
dataset.  
o Deviations leading to exclusion from the Per Protocol Population will be 
identified in the ADDV dataset. 
A separate listing of all inclusion/exclusion criteria deviations will also be provided. This 
summary will be based on data as recorded on the inclusion/exclusion page of the eCRF. 
Additional protocol deviations may be identified during the study and will be 
documented in protocol deviation adjudication meeting minutes prior to database freeze.   
All violations will be discussed and adjudicated as important or not important. Only 
protocol deviations that have the potential to impact the efficacy evaluation (and are 
important) will lead to exclusion from the per-protocol population.

Multiple Comparisons and Multiplicity 
The following graphical multiple testing procedure described in [Bretz, 2009] will be 
used to control the type I error for the primary and key secondary endpoints. 
Each hypothesis will be assessed sequentially using a step-down approach where testing 
of the second hypothesis will commence only if all null hypotheses of the prior steps are 
rejected. Additionally, as there are two doses of GSK3196165 within each test, this will 
also be incorporated into the step-down procedure.  
A graphical presentation of the multiplicity control is provided in Figure 2. 
If any of the hypotheses in the list are not rejected (i.e. the testing sequence fails at this 
step), the subsequent test(s) will still be performed but the results will be uncontrolled for 
multiplicity. 
The proposed testing sequence of primary and key secondary hypotheses is: 
1. ACR20 GSK3196165 vs Placebo for Superiority at week 12  
2. HAQ-DI GSK3196165 vs Placebo for Superiority at week 12  
3. CDAI total score GSK3196165 vs Sarilumab for Superiority at week 24 
4. FACIT-Fatigue GSK3196165 vs. Placebo for Superiority at Week 12 
5. Pain VAS GSK3196165 vs Sarilumab for Superiority at week 24 
6. FACIT-Fatigue GSK3196165 vs. Sarilumab for Superiority at Week 24

STUDY POPULATION ANALYSES 
6.1. 
Overview of Planned Study Population Analyses 
The study population analyses will be based on the “Screened”, “Randomised”, 
“Enrolled” or “ITT” population, unless otherwise specified. 
Study population analyses including analyses of subject’s disposition, protocol 
deviations, demographic and baseline characteristics, prior and concomitant medications, 
and exposure and treatment compliance will be based on GSK Core Data Standards.   
All concomitant medications summaries will use the “while on treatment” approach, i.e. 
any concomitant medications which are taken post discontinuation of study intervention 
plus safety follow-up (+84 days), will be excluded. 
Additional study population outputs relating to the COVID-19 pandemic will be based on 
GSK Core Data Standards, including: 
• Participant status and disposition by relationship to COVID-19 pandemic 
• Treatment status and reasons for discontinuation of study treatment by relationship to 
COVID-19 pandemic 
• Participants by country and site by implementation of pandemic measures 
• Protocol deviations related to COVID-19 pandemic 
• COVID-19 Visits and Assessments Impacts 
• Recruitment relative to COVID-19 pandemic measures 
Details of the planned displays are presented in Appendix 12: List of Data Displays.

EFFICACY ANALYSES 
As discussed in the ICH E9 addendum (R1) [ICH HARMONISED GUIDELINE, 2019] 
the specification of treatment effects to be estimated (the estimand) should include: 
• The population of interest. 
• The treatment condition of interest. 
• The outcome variable of interest. 
• The summary measure (which may be a model-based estimate or comparison). 
• The identification and strategy for handling potential intercurrent events. 
The following sections provide clarity on each of these components for the efficacy 
treatment effects to be estimated in this study and details on how missing outcomes will 
be handled. 
7.1. 
Primary Efficacy Analyses 
7.1.1. 
Primary Estimand Strategy 
The primary estimand for this study is derived directly from the primary objective of the 
study to determine whether GSK3196165 150mg is superior to placebo in the treatment 
of participants with moderately to severely active RA despite treatment with biological 
DMARDs and/or Janus Kinase inhibitors(i.e. bDMARD-IR and/or JAKi-IR) This will be 
assessed by the odds ratio of ACR20 at Week 12 for GSK3196165 versus placebo, 
regardless of: IP discontinuation for any reason, prohibited medication use or change in 
stable dose of background therapy.  Each component of this estimand is described below. 
7.1.1.1. 
Population 
Participants with moderately to severely active RA despite bDMARD or JAKi treatment, 
which is targeted using the inclusion and exclusion criteria.  
7.1.1.2. 
Treatment 
Those who receive at least one dose at either dose of GSK3196165 150mg, compared to 
those who receive at least one dose of placebo in addition to any other medication taken 
during the study 
7.1.1.3. 
Outcome Variable 
• ACR20 response at week 12. 
7.1.1.4. 
Summary Measure 
The odds ratio comparing GSK3196165 150mg with placebo. This measure will be 
derived from model-based adjusted estimates.

7.1.1.5. 
Strategy for Intercurrent (Post-Randomization) Events 
The intercurrent (post-randomisation) event (IE) anticipated to impact on the 
interpretation of the treatment effect for the primary objective are: 
1. Discontinuation of study intervention for any reason. 
2.  Use of prohibited medication 
3.  Change in stable dose of background medication 
The handling strategy for all of these IEs will be based on a treatment policy approach; 
specifically, the effects estimated will be based on initial randomized treatment arm 
regardless of whether the participant had observed the IE. Data will continue to be 
collected after the occurrence of the occurrence of the IE, until the participant either 
completes the study or withdraws from the study before completion.  
7.1.1.6. 
Handling of missing data 
Intermittent missing data (i.e. between two non-missing assessments) for the ACR20 
response will be imputed under a missing at random (MAR) assumption. 
If a participant experiences any of the IEs but efficacy data continues to be collected, 
their data will be analysed as if they were still on the original randomised intervention.  
Study withdrawal before the completion of the study will create missing outcome data. 
This may occur concurrently or after the IE.  
Missing data for the ACR20 response resulting from study withdrawal will be imputed 
using three possible MI models depending on the availability of off-treatment data (i.e. 
data that has been collected post discontinuation of study intervention), using principles 
introduced by Roger, 2019 (Computational details are included in Section 14.10): 
1. MI using off-treatment data within randomised treatment arm:  
If there is sufficient off-treatment data within a randomised treatment arm (i.e. at 
least 3 participants per arm per visit), then missing data will be imputed 
conditional on the participant’s observed outcomes, using off-treatment data 
within randomised treatment arm. The use of this MI model assumes that missing 
outcomes resulting from participants withdrawing from the study would behave in 
a similar way to other participants who discontinued study intervention, were 
randomised to the same treatment arm, and continued providing data post-
discontinuation of study intervention. 
 
2. MI using off-treatment data across all treatment arms: 
If there is insufficient off-treatment data within a randomised treatment arm (i.e. 
failure of the imputation model in option 1) but there is sufficient off-treatment 
data across all treatment arms combined (i.e. at least 3 participants per visit), then 
missing data will be imputed conditional on the participant’s observed outcomes, 
using off-treatment data across all treatment arms. The use of this MI model 
assumes that missing outcomes resulting from participants withdrawing from the 
study would behave in a similar way to other participants who discontinued study

31 
 
intervention and continued providing data post-discontinuation of study 
intervention regardless of randomised treatment arm. 
 
3. MI under MAR assumption: 
If there is insufficient off-treatment data (i.e. neither option 1 nor 2 is feasible) 
then all missing data will be imputed under a MAR assumption. This MI model 
uses all available data collected on- and off-treatment within randomised 
treatment arm, and assumes missing outcomes resulting from participants 
withdrawing from the study would behave in a similar way to participants who 
were randomised to the same treatment arm and had data collected in the study, 
with no adjustment for values before or after intercurrent events. 
 
Note: Week 1 data will not be included in any imputation models due to the 
unavailability of off-treatment data at this visit by design of the study. 
7.1.1.7. 
Sensitivity Analysis for the handling of missing data 
An additional tipping point analysis will be performed as sensitivity if the endpoint is 
statistically significant and it is plausible that the imputation strategy for missing data 
could alter the conclusions of the analysis.  This will be performed at an ACR20 
responder level assuming all possible ACR20 response rates from 0 to 100% amongst 
those with missing ACR20 response in GSK3196165 arm and pooled placebo arm, 
separately. Full details of this analysis will be included in a separate analysis plan and 
results included in a separate report. 
7.1.2. 
Supplementary Analysis  
Two additional estimands for the primary objective will be considered and are described 
in this section. Computational details on both of these strategies are included in Section 
14.10. 
7.1.2.1. 
Supplemental Estimand 1 
As an additional estimand for the primary objective, a composite strategy will be 
considered for the handling of the IE of discontinuation of study intervention for any 
reason; specifically, a composite response definition will be used. A participant will be 
considered to be a non-responder if they do not meet the ACR20 response criterion or 
they discontinue study intervention for any reason. All other IEs will be handled using 
the same strategies as for the Primary Estimand Strategy (i.e. treatment policy). 
7.1.2.2. 
Supplemental Estimand 2 
As a second additional estimand for the primary objective, a hypothetical strategy will be 
considered for the handling of the IE of discontinuation of study intervention for any 
reason; specifically, the effects estimated will be under the hypothetical scenario where 
the IE did not occur.  
Any efficacy data collected after the occurrence of this IE will be excluded from the 
analysis. All data for the treatment response after the occurrence of the IE will be 


 
CONFIDENTIAL

32 
 
imputed conditional on the participant’s observed outcomes, using on- and off-treatment 
data within randomised treatment arm. The use of this MI model assumes that missing 
outcomes would behave in a similar way to other participants who were randomised to 
the same treatment arm and had data collected in the study, with no adjustment for values 
before or after intercurrent events. 
All other IEs will be handled using the same strategies as for the Primary Estimand 
Strategy (i.e. treatment policy). 
7.1.2.3. 
Per-protocol Analysis 
As a supportive analysis, the primary analyses will be repeated using the “Per-protocol” 
population (see Section 14.1 for the definition).  
7.1.3. 
Statistical Analyses / Methods 
The efficacy analyses will be based in the “Intent-to-Treat” population, unless otherwise 
specified. 
Details of the planned displays are provided in Appendix 12 and will be based on GSK 
data standards and statistical principles. 
Unless otherwise specified, endpoints / variables defined in Section 7.1.1.3 will be 
summarised using descriptive statistics and graphically presented (where appropriate).

7.1.3.1. 
Statistical Methodology Specification 
Endpoint / Variables 
• Proportion of participants with ACR20 response at week 12. 
Model Specification 
• Each estimate will be generated for each imputed data set produced by the multiple 
imputation (MI) procedure described in Section 7.1.1.6, and the corresponding results will be 
combined using Rubin’s rules. 
• The proportion of participants with ACR20 response will be statistically analysed using a 
Logistic Regression model, comparing each randomised treatment arm with control group. 
• The Logistic Regression model will be fitted including fixed effects for treatment arm 
(GSK3196165 150mg, GSK3196165 90mg, sarilumab 200mg, pooled placebo), baseline 
swollen joint count 66 and baseline tender joint count 68, and previously failed medication 
category (1 bDMARD, >1 bDMARD, ≥1 JAK inhibitor). 
Model Checking & Diagnostics 
• If the logistic model fails to converge due to a small number of responders, the primary 
endpoint will be analysed using an exact logistic regression. In case of response rates of 0% 
or 100% in any of the treatment groups, confidence intervals for risk difference and p-values 
from the t-test for the risk difference comparing to 0 will be provided. 
Model Results Presentation 
• Results will be summarised using proportions of subjects (after MI) achieving a response. 
• Differences in the proportions of subjects (after MI) achieving response between each 
randomized treatment arm and pooled placebo will be summarised. 95% CI for the 
differences will be constructed using their asymptotic standard errors (asymptotic Wald 
confidence limits) without continuity correction. 
• Estimates of the Odds Ratio (OR), corresponding 95% confidence intervals and p-values will 
be constructed using the least squares (LS) means estimates from the logistic regression 
model. 
• Plots of the proportion of subjects achieving a response and their corresponding asymptotic 
standard errors will be generated for each treatment group by time. 
Subgroup Analyses 
• See Section 5.4 for details on subgroup analyses. 
Sensitivity and Supportive Analyses 
• Sensitivity Analysis on the missing data imputation methods may be performed as described 
in Section 7.1.1.7. 
• Supportive Analysis will be performed as described in Section 7.1.2. 
7.2. 
Secondary Efficacy Analyses

the primary efficacy analysis (see Section 7.1.1.1). 
7.2.1.2. 
Treatment 
The treatment of interest for the secondary efficacy analysis is the same as is stated for 
the primary efficacy analysis (see Section 7.1.1.2).

• DAS28-ESR Remission (DAS28-ESR<2.6). 
• Good/moderate EULAR response. 
• ACR/EULAR Remission. 
• TJC28/68 and SJC28/66. 
• CRP (mg/L). 
• PtGA/PhGA. 
• DAS28-(CRP/ESR). 
• Arthritis pain VAS. 
• SF-36 physical and mental component scores, and individual domain scores. 
• FACIT-Fatigue score. 
7.2.1.4. 
Summary Measure 
The key secondary summary measures are: 
• The odds ratio comparing GSK3196165 90mg arm with placebo in the proportion of 
participants achieving ACR20 at week 12. 
• The difference between GSK3196165  arms and placebo in the change from baseline 
in HAQ-DI at week 12. 
• The difference between GSK3196165 arms and Sarilumab  in the change from 
baseline in CDAI Total Score at week 24.

• The difference between GSK3196165 arms and placebo in the change from baseline 
in FACIT-Fatigue Score at week 12. 
• The difference between GSK3196165 arms and Sarilumab  in the change from 
baseline in arthritis pain VAS at week 24. 
• The difference between GSK3196165 arms and Sarilumab in the change from 
baseline in FACIT-Fatigue Score at week 24. 
For all secondary endpoints (including the key secondary endpoints), the following 
summary measures will be assessed: 
• Odds ratio and/or difference from placebo at all assessment visits up to week 12.   
• Odds ratio and/or difference from Sarilumab at all assessment visits.  
All summary measures will be derived from model-based adjusted estimates for each 
treatment arm. 
7.2.1.5. 
Strategy for Intercurrent (Post-Randomization) Events 
The same strategy as the primary efficacy analysis will be implemented for all secondary 
efficacy analyses (See Section 7.1.1.5 for full details) 
7.2.1.6. 
Handling of missing data 
The same missing data handling strategy as the primary efficacy analysis will be 
implemented for all secondary efficacy analyses (See Section 7.1.1.6 for full details) 
7.2.1.7. 
Sensitivity Analysis for the handling of missing data 
A tipping point analysis will be performed as sensitivity of the key secondary efficacy 
analyses if the endpoints are statistically significant and it is plausible that the imputation 
strategy for missing data could alter the conclusions of the analysis.  For binary 
endpoints, the same tipping point strategy as for the primary endpoint will be 
implemented (see Section 7.1.1.7 for full details). For continuous endpoints, this will be

• A separate logistic regression model will be fitted for each assessment time point. For time 
points up to week 12, all treatment arms will be included in the model (i.e. pooled placebo, 
GSK3196165 150mg, GSK3196165 90mg, sarilumab 200mg). For time points beyond week 
12, only GSK3196165 150mg, GSK3196165 90mg and sarilumab 200mg randomised 
treatment arms will be included in the model. 
• If at any time point the convergence criterion is not satisfied or maximum likelihood 
estimates do not exist, then the results of this model will not be reported. 
Model Checking & Diagnostics 
• The same model checking and diagnostics will be used as for the primary endpoint. See 
Section 7.1.3.1 for full details.

• All AEs will be classified using the current standard GSK Medical Dictionary for 
Regulatory Activities (i.e. MedDRA version in use at the time of reporting), and 
grouped by SOC and PT, unless otherwise stated.  MedDRA version will be detailed 
on every table that uses MedDRA. 
• Exposure adjusted incidence rates per 100 patient years by treatment group will be 
presented for all AEs and SAEs. 
• Common AEs will be defined as ≥ 5% incidence in any treatment group, unless 
otherwise specified. Relative risks, based on observed frequencies, for the proportions 
of subjects with common AEs will be calculated for the comparisons specified in 
Section 5.1.3. 
• AEs with missing intensity will be considered severe.  
• Additional safety outputs relating to COVID-19 adverse events including COVID-19 
assessments and symptom assessments will be based on GSK Core Data Standards. 
8.1.1. 
Adverse Events of Special Interest and Other Important AEs 
Analyses 
A comprehensive list of MedDRA terms based on clinical review will be used to identify 
each type of event. Changes to the MedDRA dictionary may occur between the start of 
the study and the time of reporting and/or emerging data from on-going studies may 
highlight additional adverse events of special interest, therefore the list of terms to be 
used for each event of interest and the specific events of interest will be based on the 
safety review team (SRT) agreements in place at the time of reporting.  
The details regarding the derivations of adverse events of special interest (AESI) and 
other important AEs are provided in Section 14.6.4.   
Exposure adjusted incidence rates per 100 patient-years by treatment group will be 
calculated for each category of AESI and other important AE. 
Relative risks, based on observed frequencies, for the proportions of subjects with AESIs 
will be calculated for the comparisons specified in Section 5.1.3. 
8.2. 
Clinical Laboratory Analyses 
Laboratory evaluations including the analyses of Chemistry laboratory tests, Hematology 
laboratory tests, Urinalysis, fasting lipids, and liver function tests will be based on GSK 
Core Data Standards. 
All laboratory parameters will be summarised, but only laboratory parameters of interest 
with available CTCAE grades will be used in summary table by grades.

Other Safety Analyses 
The analyses of non-laboratory safety test results including ECGs and vital signs will be 
based on GSK Core Data Standards, unless otherwise specified. 
8.3.1. 
Immunogenicity Analyses  
An immune response to GSK3196165 can lead to generation of anti-drug antibodies 
(ADA). For the immunogenicity assessment, two types of antibody assays will be 
performed, a binding antibody assay and a neutralizing antibody assay. 
For the binding antibody assay, there will be three testing steps: screening, confirmation, 
and titration. The screening assay produces a result of positive or negative relative to a 
screening cut point. Positive samples continue with the confirmation assay, which also 
produces a result of positive or negative relative to a confirmation cut point. For samples 
with a positive confirmation result, a titre value will also be obtained to quantify the 
degree of binding in a titration assay. Subjects with confirmed positive results, will also 
be tested in the neutralizing antibody assay, which also reports results as positive or 
negative. 
Subjects will be categorized as positive or negative based on confirmation step and a 
positive ADA event will further be categorized as transient positive or persistent positive 
at each visit and for anytime post baseline visit. Transient positive is defined as a single 
positive immunogenic response where the previous visit is negative, that does not occur 
at the final study assessment and persistent positive is defined as a positive immunogenic 
response where the previous visit is positive or the final study assessment is positive. 
Titers will be summarized by median, minimum, and maximum.

 A summary of treatment emergent positive confirmation binding ADA assay results in 
the subset of subjects who did not have a positive confirmation binding ADA assay result 
prior to the dosing of study treatment will also be presented. 
Neutralizing antibody assay results will be summarised by visit. For anytime post 
baseline visit, highest result will be used, i.e. according to the following hierarchy: ADA 
result will be Persistent Positive > Transient Positive > Negative, NAB result will be 
Positive > Negative and highest titer value.

General 
Multiple Measurements at One Analysis Time Point 
• 
Mean of the measurements will be calculated and used in any derivation of summary statistics but if 
listed, all data will be presented. 
• 
Data will be analysed as per the planned visit assignment. 
• 
Early withdrawal and unscheduled visits will be slotted to the appropriate planned visit (as per 
Section 14.3.1). If there are two slotted values within a time window the value closest to the target 
day for that window will be used except for ECGs. If values are the same distance from the target, 
then the mean will be taken. 
• 
In the instance of both local and central labs being collected at the same timepoint, only the central 
labs will be used in any analysis. 
• Triplicate ECG measures will be averaged for each subject and visit prior to generating 
summary tables. 
• 
Participants having both High and Low values for Normal Ranges at any post-baseline visit for safety 
parameters will be counted in both the High and Low categories of “Any visit post-baseline” row of 
related summary tables. This will also be applicable to relevant Potential Clinical Importance 
summary tables. 
Study Day 
• 
Calculated as the number of days from First Dose Date: 
• 
Ref Date = Missing              → Study Day = Missing  
• 
Ref Date < First Dose Date → Study Day = Ref Date – First Dose Date 
• 
Ref Data ≥ First Dose Date → Study Day = Ref Date – (First Dose Date) + 1     
Period 1 (Up to Week 12) 
• 
Period 1 (Up to Week 12) is defined as time from randomisation up to dosing of period 2 study 
medication (week 12) or date of study withdrawal or date of treatment withdrawal plus follow up, 
whichever is earlier. 
• 
A participant completed 12 weeks of treatment if study medication (injection) was administered at 
week 11 visit or later up to next study medication administration or study medication (capsule) was 
administered at week 11 plus 6 days or later up to next study medication administration 
• 
A participant completed week 12 if week 12 assessments were performed and study medication of 
the next period was administered. 
• 
A participant withdrew from the study if the withdrawal date is < date of study medication 
administration of period 2 (week 12) 
Period 2 (Post Week 12)  
• 
Period 2 (post week 12) is defined as time from first dose of study medication of period 2 (Week 12) 
until date of study completion or date of study withdrawal or date of treatment withdrawal plus safety 
follow up whichever is earlier. 
• 
A participant withdrew from the study if the withdrawal date > date of study medication administration 
of period 2 
Study Completion  
• 
For subjects not entering LTE study: completion of study is defined as completion of treatment plus 
follow up period. 
• 
For subjects entering LTE: completion of study is defined as completion of the week 52 visit.

Study Population 
Treatment Compliance 
• 
Treatment compliance will be calculated based on the formula: 
For GSK3196165:   
Treatment Compliance =  
(Number of Actual Doses / Planned Treatment Duration in Weeks) *100 
For Sarilumab: 
Treatment Compliance =  
(Number of Actual Doses / (Planned Treatment Duration in Weeks/2)) *100 
• 
Treatment compliance could be greater than 100% if there are events of overdose. Cumulative 
compliance (since Day 1) at each visit will be calculated. 
• 
Planned Treatment Duration is 24 weeks. 
• 
Compliance for early treatment discontinuation participants will only be calculated up until the date of 
early treatment discontinuation. 
Date of Birth and Age 
• Only the year of birth will be captured, and therefore the date of birth is then derived as follows: 
Year of birth = YYYY → Date of birth = 30th June YYYY 
• 
Age in years will be calculated as integer part of (latest of (randomisation date, screening date)– date 
of birth). 
• 
Birth date will be presented in listings as ‘YYYY’. 
Extent of Exposure 
• 
Number of days of exposure to study drug will be calculated based on the formula:   
For GSK3196165: 
Duration of Exposure in Days =  
[(Treatment stop date – treatment start date) + 7]-[(Number of missed injections) * 7] 
For Sarilumab:  
Duration of Exposure in Days = 
[(Treatment Stop Date – Treatment Start Date) + 14]-[(Number of missed injections) * 7] 
 
• 
Participants who were randomized but did not report a treatment start date will be categorised as 
having zero days of exposure.  
• 
The cumulative dose will be based on the formula: 
Cumulative Dose = Sum of Total Dose at Each Visit 
Disease History/Duration 
• RA duration since diagnosis in years will be calculated based on the formula: 
RA Duration Since Diagnosis in Years =   
(Date of First Dose of Study Treatment - Start date of RA diagnosis + 1)/365.25 
• RA duration since first symptoms in years will be calculated based on the formula: 
RA Duration Since First Symptoms in Years =   
(Date of First Dose of Study Treatment - Start date of first symptoms + 1)/365.25 
 
 
Stratification Stratum (Previously Failed Medication) 
• Stratification stratum will be derived from the randomisation numbers as follows:

Efficacy

ACR20/50/70 
ACR20/50/70 
Proportion of ACR20/50/70 responders 
• 
The American College of Rheumatology’s (ACR) definition for calculating improvement in RA is 
calculated as a 20% improvement (ACR20) in both tender and swollen joint counts and 20% 
improvement in 3 of the 5 remaining ACR-core set measures: patient and physician global 
assessments, patient’s assessment of arthritis pain, disability, and an acute-phase reactant (i.e. CRP 
value).  Similarly, ACR50 and ACR70 are calculated with the respective percent improvement.  This 
efficacy measurement will be made at every post-baseline study assessment time point. 
 
• 
The specific components of the ACR Assessments that will be used in this study are: 
o Tender/Painful Joint count 68 (TJC68) 
o Swollen Joint Count 66 (SJC66) 
o Patient’s Assessment of Arthritis Pain 
o Patient’s Global Assessment of Arthritis Disease Activity 
o Physician’s Global Assessment of Arthritis 
o CRP (mg/L) 
o Health Assessment Questionnaire – Disability Index (HAQ-DI) 
 
• 
Individual components collected outside of a +/- 2 day window from visit date will be considered 
missing for the purpose of the ACR calculation. 
 
• 
For all visits, if any of the component scores are missing, then those scores will be considered as not 
having met the criteria for improvement.  Therefore, if TJC68 or SJC66 or 3 or more of the 5 
remaining ACR-core set measures are missing, ACR20/ ACR50/ ACR70 will each be considered 
missing.

• 
Health-related quality of life will be assessed using the subject-completed Medical Outcomes Study 
Short-Form 36 (SF-36) which is a generic health survey that contains 36 questions covering eight 
domains of health.  The SF-36 yields an eight-scale profile of functional health and well-being scores 
as well as physical and mental component health summary scores.  The version 2, 1-week recall 
questionnaire will be used. Recoding, calculations, and standardisation will be done using Quality 
Metrics SF-36 scoring software. 
SF-36 Domain Scores 
• 
Individual question responses will be inputted into the Quality Metrics SF-36 scoring software to 
compute the eight domain scores: 
o Physical functioning (PF) 
o Role function – Physical aspect (RP) 
o Bodily Pain (BP) 
o General health perception (GH)  
o Mental Health (MH) 
o Role function – Emotional aspect (RE) 
o Social functioning (SF) 
o Vitality (VT) 
• 
Higher scores represent better health status. 
 
SF-36 Physical and Mental component scores 
• 
Individual question responses will be inputted into the Quality Metrics SF-36 scoring software to 
compute the physical and mental component scores.

Laboratory Parameters 
Laboratory Results 
If a laboratory value which is expected to have a numeric value for summary purposes,  
has a non-detectable level reported in the database, where the numeric value is missing,  
but typically a character value starting with ‘<x’ or ‘>x’ (or indicated as less than x or  
greater than x in the comment field) is present, the number of significant digits in the  
observed values will be used to determine how much to add or subtract in order to impute  
the corresponding numeric value.  
• Example 1: 2 Decimal Places=  ‘< x ‘ becomes x – 0.01 
• Example 2: 1 Decimal Place=  ‘> x’ becomes x + 0.1 
• 
Example 3: 0 Decimal Places= ‘< x’ becomes x – 1 
Immunogenicity 
• Positive binding antibody assay results are to be categorised as transient positive or 
persistent positive accordingly to the following definitions: 
• For all post-baseline visits, other than final study assessment 
o Transient positive = a single positive immunogenic response at a visit, where the 
previous visit was negative 
o Persistent positive = a positive immunogenic response at a visit, where the previous 
visit was also positive

Appendix 7: Reporting Standards for Missing Data 
14.7.1. 
Premature Withdrawals 
Element 
Reporting Detail 
General 
• 
Participant study completion (i.e. as specified in the protocol) was defined as 
completion of all phases of the study including the follow up.  
• 
Withdrawn participants will not be replaced in the study. 
• 
All available data from participants who were withdrawn from the study will be listed 
and all available planned data will be included in summary tables and figures, unless 
otherwise specified.  
• 
Withdrawal visits will be slotted as per Appendix 3: Assessment Windows or will be 
summarised as withdrawal visits. 
• 
If a scheduled visit and an EW visit occur within the same visit window and are both 
available, the scheduled visit will be used for any summaries/analyses. The EW visit 
will appear in listing only. 
• 
For efficacy analyses, if an EW visit is assigned to a non-standard efficacy visit, i.e., a 
visit at which efficacy assessments are not scheduled per the Time and Events Table, 
then these EW data will be ignored in the statistical analysis, but all data will be listed. 
14.7.2. 
Handling of Missing Data 
Element 
Reporting Detail 
General 
• 
Missing data occurs when any requested data is not provided, leading to blank fields 
on the collection instrument: 
o These data will be indicated by the use of a “blank” in subject listing displays. 
Unless all data for a specific visit are missing in which case the data is excluded 
from the table.  
o Answers such as “Not applicable” and “Not evaluable” are not considered to be 
missing data and should be displayed as such. 
Outliers 
• 
Any participants excluded from the summaries and/or statistical analyses will be 
documented along with the reason for exclusion in the clinical study report. 
Adverse 
Events 
• 
AEs with missing intensity will be considered as severe.

14.7.2.1. 
Handling of Missing and Partial Dates 
Element 
Reporting Detail 
General 
• 
Partial dates will be displayed as captured in subject listing displays. 
Adverse 
Events 
• 
Although every effort will be made to prevent and eliminate partial dates, the eCRF 
allows for the possibility of partial dates (i.e., only month and year) to be recorded 
for AE start and end dates; that is, the day of the month may be missing. In such a 
case, the following conventions will be applied for calculating the time to onset and 
the duration of the event: 
o Missing Start Day: First of the month will be used unless this is before the start 
date of study treatment; in this case the study treatment start date will be used 
and hence the event is considered On-treatment as per Appendix 4: Study 
Phases and Treatment Emergent Adverse Events. 
o Missing Stop Day: Last day of the month will be used, unless this is after the 
stop date of study treatment; in this case the study treatment stop date will be 
used. 
• 
Completely missing start or end dates will remain missing, with no imputation 
applied. Consequently, time to onset and duration of such events will be missing. 
Concomitant 
Medications/ 
Medical 
History 
• 
Partial dates for any concomitant medications recorded in the CRF will be imputed 
using the following convention: 
o If the partial date is a start date, a '01' will be used for the day and 'Jan' will be 
used for the month 
o If the partial date is a stop date, a '28/29/30/31' will be used for the day 
(dependent on the month and year) and 'Dec' will be used for the month. 
• 
The recorded partial date will be displayed in listings. 
RA diagnosis 
and symptom 
onset 
• 
Missing day, but month and year present: 
o Date is set to the first day of the month (e.g., XX-Sep-2010 is considered as 
01-Sep-2010). 
• 
Missing day and month, but year present:  
o Date is set to 01 January (e.g., XX-XXX-2010 is considered as 01-Jan-2010) 
 
14.7.2.2. 
Handling of Missing Efficacy Data 
Unless otherwise stated, apply the missing data imputation strategies detailed in Section 
7.1.1.6 and Section 7.2.1.6.

Appendix 9: List of Preferred Terms 
14.9.1. 
Herpes Zoster   
Adjudication by GSK SRT will identify events that are recurrent or disseminated. Herpes 
Zoster is considered disseminated if there is involvement of other organs other than the 
skin or if skin lesions (1) cross the midline of the body or (2) are in non-adjacent 
dermatomes or (3) are located in more than three adjacent dermatomes.  Herpes zoster is 
considered an opportunistic infection (OI) if it is adjudicated as recurrent or 
disseminated.  However, there may be some uncommon occurrences of a herpes zoster 
case that is adjudicated as an OI but is neither recurrent nor disseminated. 
14.9.2. 
Mycobacterium Tuberculosis 
Tuberculosis (TB) cases are reviewed by the GSK SRT to determine if a case is an OI. 
The following principles are applied: Pulmonary TB in an endemic area is not considered 
an OI. Pulmonary TB in a non-endemic area would be considered an OI unless the 
participant had close contact with a person infected with TB. Extra pulmonary TB is 
generally considered an OI unless the affected extra pulmonary area followed a wound or 
trauma.

Appendix 10: Missing Data Imputation Strategies 
14.10.1. 
Primary Estimand Strategy 
14.10.1.1. Multiple Imputation using off-treatment data within treatment arm 
1. Exclude week 1 data and participants with missing baseline values. 
2. Generate 1000 multiply imputed datasets using a monotone logistic imputation 
with augmentation (binary endpoints) or monotone regression imputation 
(continuous endpoints) including terms for baseline value, all previous visit 
values, treatment group, treatment discontinuation and treatment group-by-
treatment discontinuation interaction, i.e. a model  of the form 
𝑦𝑖= 𝛼1𝑖+ 𝛼2𝑖𝑏𝑎𝑠𝑒+ 𝛼3𝑖𝑇𝐷𝑖+ 𝛼4𝑖𝑡𝑟𝑡+ 𝛼5𝑖(𝑡𝑟𝑡∗𝑇𝐷𝑖) + 𝛽𝑖−1𝑦𝑖−1 + ⋯+ 𝛽1𝑦1 
where 𝑦𝑖 is the result at visit i and 𝑇𝐷𝑖 is the treatment discontinuation indicator at 
visit i. 
3. Perform statistical analysis as detailed in Section 7.1.3 and Section 7.2.3. 
 
14.10.1.2. Multiple Imputation using off-treatment data across all treatment arms 
1. Exclude week 1 data and participants with missing baseline values. 
2. Generate 1000 multiply imputed datasets using a monotone logistic imputation 
with augmentation (binary endpoints) or monotone regression imputation 
(continuous endpoints) including terms for baseline value, all previous visit 
values, treatment group and treatment discontinuation, i.e. a model of the form 
𝑦𝑖= 𝛼1𝑖+ 𝛼2𝑖𝑏𝑎𝑠𝑒+ 𝛼3𝑖𝑇𝐷𝑖+ 𝛼4𝑖𝑡𝑟𝑡+ 𝛽𝑖−1𝑦𝑖−1 + ⋯+ 𝛽1𝑦1 
where 𝑦𝑖 is the result at visit i and 𝑇𝐷𝑖 is the treatment discontinuation indicator at 
visit i. 
3. Perform statistical analysis as detailed in Section 7.1.3 and Section 7.2.3. 
14.10.1.3. Multiple imputation under MAR assumption  
1. Exclude week 1 data and participants with missing baseline values. 
2. Generate For each of the 1000 multiply imputed datasets using a monotone 
logistic imputation with augmentation (binary endpoints) or monotone regression 
imputation (continuous endpoints) including terms for baseline value, all previous 
visit values and treatment group, to impute any missing data post study 
withdrawal, i.e. a model of the form 
𝑦𝑖= 𝛼1𝑖+ 𝛼2𝑖𝑏𝑎𝑠𝑒+ 𝛼3𝑖𝑡𝑟𝑡+ 𝛽𝑖−1𝑦𝑖−1 + ⋯+ 𝛽1𝑦1 
where 𝑦𝑖 is the result at visit i. 
3. Perform statistical analysis as detailed in Section 7.1.3 and Section 7.2.3.

Supplemental Estimand 1 Strategy 
1. Impute all data for each visit following the intercurrent event for categorical 
variables to be non-response. 
2. Exclude week 1 data and participants with missing baseline values. 
3. In order to impute intermittent missing data, generate 1000 multiply imputed 
datasets using a monotone logistic imputation with augmentation (binary 
endpoints) or monotone regression imputation (continuous endpoints) including 
terms for baseline value, all previous visit values and treatment group, i.e. a 
model of the form 
𝑦𝑖= 𝛼1𝑖+ 𝛼2𝑖𝑏𝑎𝑠𝑒+ 𝛼3𝑖𝑡𝑟𝑡+ 𝛽𝑖−1𝑦𝑖−1 + ⋯+ 𝛽1𝑦1 
where 𝑦𝑖 is the result at visit i. 
4. Perform statistical analysis as detailed in Section 7.1.3 and Section 7.2.3. 
14.10.3. 
Supplemental Estimand 2 Strategy 
1. Set all data for each visit following the intercurrent event to missing. 
2. Exclude week 1 data and participants with missing baseline values. 
3. Generate 1000 multiply imputed datasets, using a monotone logistic imputation 
with augmentation (binary endpoints) or monotone regression imputation 
(continuous endpoints) including terms for baseline value, all previous visit 
values, and treatment group, i.e. a model of the form 
𝑦𝑖= 𝛼1𝑖+ 𝛼2𝑖𝑏𝑎𝑠𝑒+ 𝛼3𝑖𝑡𝑟𝑡+ 𝛽𝑖−1𝑦𝑖−1 + ⋯+ 𝛽1𝑦1 
where 𝑦𝑖 is the result at visit i. 
4. Perform statistical analysis as detailed in Section 7.1.3 and Section 7.2.3. 
14.10.4. 
Intermittent Missing Data Multiple Imputation 
Under the primary estimand strategy detailed in Section 14.10.1, in the absence of a 
treatment discontinuation flag at a particular visit, the models will all reduce to a model 
of the form: 
𝑦𝑖= 𝛼1𝑖+ 𝛼2𝑖𝑏𝑎𝑠𝑒+ 𝛼3𝑖𝑡𝑟𝑡+ 𝛽𝑖−1𝑦𝑖−1 + ⋯+ 𝛽1𝑦1 
where 𝑦𝑖 is the result at visit i, which will satisfy an MAR assumption for intermittent 
missing data. 
Under the supplemental estimand 1 strategy detailed in Section 14.10.2, intermittent 
missing data will be imputed separately under an MAR assumption. 
Under the supplemental estimand 2 strategy detailed in Section 14.10.3, all data, 
including intermittent missing data, is imputed under an MAR assumption.

Note: All estimates are produced following multiple imputation specified for the [primary estimand/supplemental estimand 
1/supplemental estimand 2]. 
Note: Positive differences and Odds Ratios >1 indicate an improvement of treatment over placebo or sarilumab. 
Note: 95% confidence intervals for the difference to placebo and sarilumab are constructed using asymptotic Wald confidence 
limits without correction. 
Note: Odds Ratios and corresponding 95% confidence intervals for odds ratios are generated from the logistic regression 
model  adjusted for [Baseline Value], Treatment Group and Previously Failed Medication Category. 
Note: Placebo switch treatment arms will only be displayed after Week 12.

Note: A worsening is defined as a worsening in grade relative to baseline grade. Subjects with missing 
baseline values are assumed to have baseline value of grade 0. 
[1] Grades were derived based on numeric criteria as defined in CTCAEv5.0 and did not take into 
consideration of clinical signs or symptoms, concomitant medication usage which is needed for the final 
grade associated with the adverse event. 
[2] n = number of subjects with values at the specified planned time.

Summary of Binding Antibody at Each Assessment Visit 
 
Note: The values shown at the anytime post baseline visit are based on each subject’s highest post baseline titre. 
Note: Any Time Post Baseline would be positive for a subject who had negative and positive baseline results. 
Note: Transient positive is defined as a single positive immunogenic response where the previous visit is negative, that does 
not occur at the final study assessment and persistent positive is defined as a positive immunogenic response where the 
previous visit is positive of the final study assessment is positive. 
Note: The titre value includes the method sample dilution of 1/10.
