SYNOPSIS
TITLE
A Research Study to Bank Samples for Future Evaluation to Identify Biomarkers that Predispose Patients 
with Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis to Develop Hepatosplenic T-Cell Lymphoma (HSTCL)
PURPOSE
This study is being conducted to address 2 postmarketing requirements by the United States (US) Food 
and Drug Administration (FDA) to bank HSTCL tumor tissue as well as blood, buccal swab, and/or other 
tissue samples for future evaluation to identify genetic mutations and other biomarkers that may 
predispose inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients to develop hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma 
(HSTCL). No medical or scientific benefit will be provided to patients who participate in the study; 
however, future patients at risk for developing HSTCL may benefit from the results of this research. 
OBJECTIVE, ENDPOINTS, AND HYPOTHESIS
The objective of this study is to collect samples from IBD patients diagnosed with HSTCL to identify 
biomarkers that may allow earlier evaluation of a patient’s risk of developing HSTCL.
There are no formal endpoints or hypothesis for this study.
OVERVIEW OF STUDY DESIGN
This study is designed to collect tissue samples from the biopsy specimen used to diagnose HSTCL in 
patients with IBD. Additional patient information, and if possible, additional blood, buccal swab, and/or 
tissue samples will be collected as described below in Evaluations. This study will be conducted in North 
America and the planned duration is 8 years. This study will not restrict or introduce any therapeutic 
interventions, including medications. All patients will continue to be managed
by their 
personal physicians.
PATIENT SELECTION
Patients eligible for enrollment include males or females with IBD of any age who have a confirmed 
diagnosis of HSTCL. No healthy subjects will be enrolled in this study.
Patients will be identified through the sponsor’s adverse event reporting systems. Cases reported to the 
sponsor’s Medical Information Center will be queried to ascertain if the reporter is interested in 
participating in the study. Where appropriate, cases may also be identified through the sponsor’s new or 
on-going clinical trials and registries. Samples may be collected from living patients or from stored tissue 
of deceased patients. 
EVALUATIONS
After obtaining informed consent as described in Section 8.1.2 in the body of the protocol, physicians of 
participating patients will be asked to provide the following: 

Sample(s) of the biopsy specimen used to confirm the diagnosis of HSTCL (tumor tissue and 
adjacent healthy tissue if possible)


REMICADE® (infliximab); SIMPONI® (golimumab)

CONFIDENTIAL

Additional samples, if possible, including the following:
-
A single blood and/or a buccal swab sample (for genomic DNA analysis), and/or
-
A bowel tissue sample previously collected as part of the patient’s IBD diagnosis or treatment
(if available, for mutation analysis between the tumor and T cells residing in the bowel to 
attempt to determine the origin of the tumor clone). 
In addition, the following information will be collected:

HSTCL diagnosis and related information

Demographic data

Diseases and medical/surgical conditions prior to or at the time of diagnosis

Medical history including family history of cancer, if available

Cytogenetic and flow cytometric data, if available
Samples collected will be banked for future testing by the sponsor or its delegate. Potential test methods 
include, but are not limited to, the following: 

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) or ribonucleic acid (RNA) sequencing

Messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) gene expression

Protein expression or functional tests on cells isolated from peripheral blood 
STATISTICAL METHODS
A Scientific Advisory Committee has been established for this study that includes an independent panel 
of experts who will review the emerging science related to HSTCL and latest available test methods and 
make recommendations to the sponsor. When the types of analyses to be performed on the tissue samples 
collected have been determined by the sponsor in consultation with the Scientific Advisory Committee,
the sample analysis plan will be developed.  
Descriptive statistics of demographic information, information on medical/surgical (including treatment) 
history, and baseline characteristics at the time of HSTCL diagnosis will be summarized for all patients
enrolled in this study. Protein assay data will be summarized when available, using descriptive statistics. 
Gene expression in tumor cells may be compared with expression levels observed in cells isolated from 
whole blood with moderated t-statistics or other appropriate statistical methods.
Full genome or targeted sequencing may also be used to reveal patterns of mutations responsible for 
development of HSTCL. Somatic mutations will be identified by comparing HSTCL tumor DNA with
DNA from the same patient from the following:


The normal adjacent tissue from the same biopsy specimen, or 

The bowel tissue sample, or

Cells isolated from the buccal swab, or 

Peripheral blood mononuclear cells.
Individual mutations will be tabulated within and between patients and cross-referenced with human 
variation databases (eg, COSMIC, dbSNP, etc.). To identify cancer driver genes or pathways, somatic 
mutation frequencies will be evaluated per gene or pathway across all patients with HSTCL and 
compared with empirical background mutation frequencies by mutation type (Wendl, 2011; Youn, 2011).

INTRODUCTION
1.1.
Purpose
The United States (US) Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has requested that the sponsor
conduct a postmarketing study to collect samples from inflammatory bowel disease patients 
(IBD) treated with Remicade® (infliximab) and/or Simponi® (golimumab) to learn more about 
hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma (HSTCL). Specifically, samples will be collected to identify
genetic mutations and other biomarkers that may allow earlier evaluation of a patient’s risk of 
developing HSTCL. Samples to be requested from each patient include the biopsy used to 
diagnose HSTCL, and if possible, additional samples including a single blood sample, buccal 
swab sample, and/or a bowel tissue sample previously collected as part of the patient’s IBD 
diagnosis or treatment. In addition, patient information will be collected including, but not 
limited to, patient demographics and medical history. Samples will be stored by the sponsor or 
its delegate for future testing. The study will be conducted in North America and the planned 
duration of the study is 8 years. 
A Scientific Advisory Committee has been established for this study and includes an 
independent panel of experts who will review the emerging science related to HSTCL and latest 
available test methods and make recommendations to the sponsor (see Section 5.3, Scientific 
Advisory Committee). When the types of analyses to be performed on the tissue samples 
collected have been determined by the sponsor in consultation with the Scientific Advisory 
Committee, the sample analysis plan will be developed. The test methods that may be used 
include deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) or ribonucleic acid (RNA) sequencing, messenger 
ribonucleic acid (mRNA) gene expression, protein expression, or functional tests on cells 
isolated from peripheral blood. No medical or scientific benefit will be provided to patients who
participate in the study; however, future patients at risk for developing HSTCL may benefit from 
the results of this research.
1.2.
Hepatosplenic T-cell Lymphoma
Hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma (HSTCL) is a rare and aggressive subtype of peripheral T-cell 
lymphoma with a poor prognosis (Herrinton, 2011; de Leval, 2011). HSTCL generally shows 
T-cell proliferation, particularly in the sinusoids of the liver or spleen, without lymph node 
enlargement. It is also occasionally diagnosed through bone marrow aspirate and, later in its 
course, malignant T-cells can be found in peripheral blood. In the US, the incidence is 
approximately 0.3 cases per million person-years in the general population. However, in patients 
with immune mediated conditions such as IBD or acquired immune deficiency syndrome, the 
incidence increases as much as 100-fold. HSTCL has also been reported in organ transplant 
patients (Tey, 2008). DNA, RNA, or protein biomarkers may provide a method to identify 
patients predisposed to develop HSTCL.

CONFIDENTIAL
Specific risk factors that contribute to HSTCL in patients with IBD have been reviewed (Kotylar, 
2010; Kotylar, 2011), and include gender (> 90% male); age (90% under 35 years of age); 
treatment with thiopurines such as 6-mercaptopurine or azathioprine (100%); treatment with a 
tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitor such as infliximab (REMICADE®; 56%, all with 
concomitant thiopurine treatment); and duration of thiopurine treatment (97% >2 years). HSTCL 
has also been reported in patients treated with other TNF inhibitors such as adalimumab 
(Ochenrider, 2010), and other monoclonal antibodies with other mechanisms of action such as 
natalizumab (Kotylar, 2010). Although most published cases of HSTCL have occurred in 
immunocompromised individuals, a recent study describes some patients with no history of 
immune-related comorbidities or immunosuppressive therapy (Voss, 2013). 
Literature describing the clinical and presenting features of patients with HSTCL has been 
reviewed (Tripido, 2009). Diagnosis is typically confirmed by bone marrow, liver, or spleen 
biopsy using histologic, flow cytometric, and cytogenetic analyses. The tumor cells are generally 
γ/δ T cells with a Vδ1 variable region, positive for CD3 and occasionally positive for CD8 or 
CD56 but negative for CD4. The chromosomal abnormality isochromosome 7q has been 
reported in many cases (Alonsozana, 1997; Kotylar, 2010).  Recently, in an analysis of HSTCL 
cases, some of which included paired germline DNA, mutations were commonly found in the 
genes SETD2, INO80, STAT5B, SMARCA2, TET3, and PIK3CD (McKinney, 2017).
1.3.
Overall Rationale for the Study
While there is no formal hypothesis to be tested in this study, the samples collected during this 
study will be used to explore several possible hypotheses for the development of HSTCL 
reported in IBD patients. Methods such as genome sequencing (Chapman, 2011; Ng, 2010), 
mRNA gene expression microarray profiles (Miyazaki, 2009), and multiplex analysis of serum 
proteins may be used to identify these biomarkers.
1. Genes that increase susceptibility for developing inflammatory bowel disease.  The 
incidence of HSTCL is approximately 100-fold greater in IBD patients compared with 
the general population (Herrington, 2011).  Therefore, IBD susceptibility genes identified 
through genome-wide association studies (Franke, 2010; McGovern, 2010) may also be 
susceptibility genes for HSTCL.
2. Genes that are part of the TNF signaling pathway.  Although HSTCL is generally
observed in infliximab-treated IBD patients who received infliximab in combination with 
a thiopurine, TNF blockade may also increase susceptibility for developing HSTCL
independent of thiopurine exposure. Therefore, genes that are part of the TNF signaling 
pathway may also influence susceptibility for HSTCL.

CONFIDENTIAL
3. Genes whose expression is significantly different than other T-cell lymphomas.  The 
majority of HSTCL in infliximab-treated IBD patients are known to be γ/Vδ1 T-cell 
clones, although α/β T-cell clones have also been reported (Mackey, 2009). One group 
(Miyazaki, 2009) studied the gene expression profile of peripheral T-cell lymphomas and 
identified a distinctive profile for 5 cases of HSTCL, including 4 cases that were γ/δ 
lymphomas and 1 case that was α/β T-cell lymphoma. Others have found that mutations 
that occur frequently in other T cell lymphomas in genes such as RHOA, CD28 and 
CCR4 were either absent or occurred at a much lower frequency in HSTCLs (McKinney, 
2017). Recognizing HSTCL tumor cell genes with significantly different expression 
compared with other types of T-cell lymphomas suggests these genes might influence 
susceptibility for development of HSTCL. 
4. Genes that are part of the DNA mismatch repair pathway.  Thiopurines are mutagens that 
cause base pair mismatches when incorporated into replicating DNA; these are corrected 
by the DNA mismatch repair pathway (Hsieh, 2008). One group (Nyugen, 2009) 
investigated the frequency and spectra of somatic mutation events at the hypoxanthine-
guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT) locus in T-cells from IBD patients. 
Thiopurine treatment resulted in a total dose-dependent (p<0.001) and duration of 
treatment-dependent (p<0.001) increase in the frequency of somatic mutations. Mutations 
in genes from the DNA mismatch repair pathway might increase the mutation rate due to 
thiopurine treatment and thereby increase the risk of HSTCL. 
5. Cytogenetic abnormalities.  Chromosomal abnormalities often associated with HSTCL 
include isochromosome 7q and trisomy 8 (Jonveaux, 1996); these abnormalities were 
also reported in IBD patients who developed HSTCL (Kotylar, 2010). The copy number 
or expression level of genes influenced by these abnormalities might also be linked to 
susceptibility to the development or progression of HSTCL.
2.
OBJECTIVE, ENDPOINTS, AND HYPOTHESIS
The objective of this study is to collect samples from IBD patients diagnosed with HSTCL to
identify biomarkers that may allow earlier evaluation of a patient’s risk of developing HSTCL. 
There are no formal endpoints or hypothesis for this study.

STUDY EVALUATIONS/PROCEDURES
The sponsor (or delegate) will identify cases of HSTCL through the sponsor’s adverse event 
reporting system. Cases reported to the sponsor’s Medical Information Center will be queried to 
ascertain if the reporter is interested in participating in the study. Where appropriate, cases may 
also be identified through the sponsor’s new or ongoing clinical trials and registries. 
Once a patient with HSTCL has been identified, the treating physician will be contacted and 
invited to participate in the study. When the physician agrees to participate, study related 
information will be provided to the physician for submission to the affiliated Institutional 
Review Board (IRB)/Independent Ethics Committee (IEC). Each patient (or their legal 
representative) must give written informed consent as described in Section 8.1.2. 
The collection and processing of personal data from patients enrolled in this study will be limited 
to data necessary to fulfill the objectives of the study. Sample data and corresponding relevant 
demographic and clinical data will be made non-identifiable by the removal of personal 
identifiers and are to be sent to the sponsor in coded form, in which the patient is identified by 
means of a study number. The code should be retained at the study site of the treating 
physician(s). Samples collected will be shipped under protocol-defined conditions as described 
in the laboratory reference manual to the sponsor’s (or delegate’s) bioanalytical facility for 
storage and future analysis. Samples will be shipped with a unique identifier to maintain 
confidentiality. Samples may be kept and used for up to 15 years after the study is completed; 
see also Section 8.1.2, Informed Consent, for sample handling if a patient withdraws consent.
Detailed instructions for sample collection/processing and shipments will be defined in a 
laboratory reference manual.
5.1.
Sample Collection
A tissue sample from the biopsy specimen used to diagnose HSTCL is required for this study. In 
addition, although not required for entry into the study, every effort is to be made to obtain a 
single blood sample, a buccal swab sample, and/or a bowel tissue sample as described in further 
detail in the following subsections.
5.1.1.

Buccal swabs will be used to collect cells from the cheek area inside the mouth of the patient.  
5.1.2.2.
Bowel Tissue Sample
If possible, a sample of bowel tissue previously collected as part of the patient’s IBD diagnosis 
or treatment is requested (optional) if a specimen is already available. The sample will be used 
for mutation analysis of IBD to tumor.  Approximately ten, 6-micron sections of the formalin-
fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue are required (approximately 50 milligrams of the bowel tissue 
biopsy). 
5.1.3.
Sample Collection and Handling
Collection tubes for the blood samples, the buccal swab collection kit, and the slides for tumor 
biopsy tissue and bowel tissue samples will be provided to the patient’s physician with specific 
instructions for collection, labeling, storing, and shipping to the sponsor or delegate.
The actual dates and times of sample collection must be recorded in the case report form (CRF)
or laboratory requisition form. If blood samples are collected via an indwelling cannula, an 
appropriate amount (1 mL) of serosanguineous fluid slightly greater than the dead space volume 
of the lock will be removed from the cannula and discarded before each blood sample is taken.
After blood sample collection, the cannula will be flushed with 0.9% sodium chloride, United 
States Pharmacopeia (USP) (or equivalent) and charged with a volume equal to the dead space 
volume of the lock. If a mandarin (obturator) is used, blood loss due to discard is not expected.
Please refer to the laboratory reference manual for detailed instructions for the collection, 
handling, and shipment of blood, tissue, and buccal swab samples. 
5.2.
Additional Patient Information
For each identified case of HSTCL for which the treating physician(s) agreed to participate, the 
investigator or an authorized member of the investigational staff will collect data from the

patient’s medical records and transfer this information to the CRF at a data collection visit at the 
treating physician(s) site. 
The data elements to be collected from patient’s medical records include:
1.
HSTCL diagnosis
a. Diagnosis confirmation and date. Tumor stage and findings that support staging 
including system used.
b. Clinical course
c. Type, dose, and duration of treatment with corticosteroids and any immunomodulator 
therapies (including biologics) prior to and at time of diagnosis of lymphoma
2.
Demographic data including age at diagnosis of HSTCL, gender, race, and nationality 
3.
Diseases and medical/surgical conditions prior to or at the time of diagnosis (including 
date of diagnosis, treatment and medications, and outcome) including but not limited to 
the following:
a. Autoimmune disease 
b. Cancer
c. Organ transplant
d. Infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
4.
Medical history including family history of cancer, if available
5.
Cytogenetic and flow cytometric data, if available
Care must be taken to safeguard the privacy of patients and ensure that all applicable privacy 
guidelines are met. Collected data entered on the CRF are to be sent to the sponsor in coded 
form, in which the patient was identified by means of numbers. The code should be retained at 
the study site of the treating physician(s).
5.3.
Scientific Advisory Committee
A Scientific Advisory Committee has been established and includes representatives from the 
sponsor and global medical experts in the disease under study. Meetings will be held as needed
to review the emerging science related to HSTCL, the latest available test methods, and to 
determine the types of analyses to be performed on the tissue samples collected. Details will be 
provided in a separate Scientific Advisory Committee Charter.

TEST METHODS AND DATA ANALYSIS
In consultation with the Scientific Advisory Committee (see Section 5.3), a detailed analysis plan 
will be written and statistical analysis will be done by the sponsor or under the authority of the 
sponsor. A general description of the statistical methods to be used is outlined below. Specific 
details will be provided in the Statistical Analysis Plan.
Descriptive statistics of demographic information, information on medical/surgical (including 
treatment) history, and baseline characteristics at the time of HSTCL diagnosis will be 
summarized for all patients enrolled in this study.  Protein assay data will be summarized using 
descriptive statistics. Gene expression in tumor cells may be compared with expression levels 
observed in normal tissue surrounding the tumor or in bowel tissue sample, or with cells isolated 
from whole blood or from buccal swabs with moderated t-statistics or other appropriate 
statistical methods.
Full genome or targeted sequencing may also be used to reveal patterns of mutations responsible 
for development of HSTCL. Somatic mutations will be identified by comparing HSTCL tumor 
DNA from the same patient from the following: 

The normal adjacent tissue from the same biopsy specimen, or 

The bowel tissue sample, or

Cells isolated from the buccal swab, or 

Peripheral blood mononuclear cells. 
Individual mutations will be tabulated within and between patients and cross-referenced with 
human variation databases (eg, COSMIC, dbSNP, etc.). To identify cancer driver genes or 
pathways, somatic mutation frequencies will be evaluated per gene or pathway across all patients 
with HSTCL and compared with empirical background mutation frequencies by mutation type 
(Wendl, 2011; Youn, 2011).  
7.
ADVERSE EVENT REPORTING
Timely, accurate, and complete reporting and analysis of safety information from clinical studies 
are crucial for the protection of patients, investigators, and the sponsor, and are mandated by 
regulatory agencies worldwide. The sponsor has established Standard Operating Procedures in 
conformity with regulatory requirements worldwide to ensure appropriate reporting of safety 
information; all clinical studies conducted by the sponsor or its affiliates will be conducted in 
accordance with those procedures.
During the conduct of this study, adverse events may be reported that are related to venipuncture 
for blood sample collection or buccal swab collection as described in Section 7.2.

Definitions
For the purposes of this study, and in accordance with ICH and the sponsor’s safety reporting 
guidelines, the following definitions will apply.
Adverse Event
An adverse event is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study patient administered a 
medicinal (investigational or non-investigational) product. An adverse event does not necessarily 
have a causal relationship with the treatment. An adverse event can therefore be any unfavorable 
and unintended sign (including an abnormal finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated 
with the use of a medicinal (investigational or non-investigational) product, whether or not 
related to that medicinal (investigational or non-investigational) product. (Definition per ICH)
This includes any occurrence that is new in onset or aggravated in severity or frequency from the 
baseline condition, or abnormal results of diagnostic procedures, including laboratory test 
abnormalities.
Note: The sponsor collects adverse events starting with the signing of the informed consent form.
Serious Adverse Event
A serious adverse event based on ICH and European Union (EU)
Guidance
on 
Pharmacovigilance for Medicinal Products for Human Use is any untoward medical occurrence 
that at any dose:

Results in death

Is life-threatening
(The patient was at risk of death at the time of the event. It does not refer to an event that 
hypothetically might have caused death if it were more severe.)

Requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization

Results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity

Is a congenital anomaly/birth defect

Is a suspected transmission of any infectious agent via a medicinal product

Is medically important*
*Medical and scientific judgment should be exercised in deciding whether expedited reporting is 
also appropriate in other situations, such as important medical events that might not be 
immediately life threatening or result in death or hospitalization but might jeopardize the patient 
or might require intervention to prevent one of the other outcomes listed above. These should 
usually be considered serious.
For reports of hospitalization, it is the sign, symptom, or diagnosis which led to hospitalization 
that is the serious event for which details must be provided.

7.2.
Reporting and Follow-up of Serious Adverse Events
The sponsor assumes responsibility for appropriate reporting of adverse events to the regulatory 
authorities. The investigator (or sponsor where required) must report these events to the 
appropriate IRB/IEC that approved the protocol unless otherwise required and documented by 
the IRB/IEC.
Adverse events that are associated with study interventions (eg, bruising or infection at 
venipuncture site, fainting, irritation, and bleeding at the inside of the cheek from the buccal 
swab) will be captured within the study database. All other adverse events/serious adverse events
that are identified through the study data collection processes and not associated with study 
interventions (eg, blood draw, buccal swabbing) will be reported as solicited reports.  
All serious adverse events that are considered as related to study intervention (eg, venipuncture)
will be followed until resolution, stabilization, or follow-up is no longer possible.
7.3.
Contacting Sponsor Regarding Safety
The names (and corresponding telephone numbers) of the individuals who should be contacted 
regarding safety issues or questions regarding the study are listed on the Contact Information 
page(s), which will be provided as a separate document.
8.
ETHICAL ASPECTS
This study is being conducted to address 2 postmarketing requirements by the US FDA to bank 
blood, buccal cells, and/or tissue samples for future evaluation to identify genetic mutations and 
other biomarkers that may predispose IBD patients to develop HSTCL. No medical or scientific 
benefit will be provided to patients who participate in the study; however, future patients at risk 
for developing HSTCL may benefit from the results of this research.
8.1.
Regulatory Ethics Compliance
This research study is to be performed in accordance with the protocol, current ICH guidelines 
on GCP, and applicable regulatory and country-specific requirements.  
Good Clinical Practice is an international ethical and scientific quality standard for designing, 
conducting, recording, and reporting studies that involve the participation of human patients. 
Compliance with this standard provides public assurance that the rights, safety, and well-being of 
study patients are protected, consistent with the principles that originated in the Declaration of 
Helsinki, and that the clinical study data are credible.
8.1.1.
Independent Ethics Committee or Institutional Review Board

8.1.2.
Informed Consent
Each patient (or a legally acceptable representative) must give written consent according to local 
requirements after the nature of the study has been fully explained. The consent form must be 
signed before performance of any study-related activity. The consent form and assent form that 
is used must be approved by both the sponsor and by the reviewing IRB/IEC and be in a 
language that the patient can read and understand. The informed consent should be in accordance 
with principles that originated in the Declaration of Helsinki, current ICH and GCP guidelines, 
applicable regulatory requirements, and sponsor policy.
Before enrollment in the study, the investigator or an authorized member of the investigational 
staff must explain to potential patients or their legally acceptable representatives the aims, 
methods, reasonably anticipated benefits, and potential hazards of the study, and any discomfort 
participation in the study may entail. Patients will be told that the investigator will maintain a 
patient identification register for the purposes of long-term follow up if needed and that their 
records may be accessed by health authorities and authorized sponsor staff without violating the 
confidentiality of the patient, to the extent permitted by the applicable law(s) or regulations. By 
signing the informed consent form the patient or legally acceptable representative is authorizing 
such access, and agrees to allow his or her study physician to recontact the patient for the 
purpose of obtaining consent for additional safety evaluations, if needed, and subsequent disease-
related treatments, or to obtain information about his or her health status.
The patient or legally acceptable representative will be given sufficient time to read the informed 
consent form and the opportunity to ask questions. After this explanation and before entry into 
the study, consent should be appropriately recorded by means of either the patient's or his or her 
legally acceptable representative's personally dated signature. After having obtained the consent, 
a copy of the informed consent form must be given to the patient.
If the patient or legally acceptable representative is unable to read or write, an impartial witness 
should be present for the entire informed consent process (which includes reading and explaining 
all written information) and should personally date and sign the informed consent form after the 
oral consent of the patient or legally acceptable representative is obtained.
Children (minors) or patients who are unable to comprehend the information provided can be 
enrolled only after obtaining consent of a legally acceptable representative. Assent must be 
obtained from children (minors) capable of understanding the nature of the study, typically 
patients 6 years of age and older, depending on the institutional policies. Written assent should be 
obtained from patients who are able to write. A separate assent form written in language the 
patient can understand should be developed for adolescents. After having obtained the assent, a 
copy of the assent form must be given to the patient, and to the patient's parent and/or legally 
acceptable representative.

Patients will be informed that their participation is voluntary and that they may withdraw consent 
to participate at any time by contacting the sponsor through the contact information given on the 
ICF. They will be informed that choosing not to participate will not affect the care he/she will 
receive for the treatment of his/her disease. The sponsor will destroy any remaining samples 
upon receipt of such a request. However, sample testing that has already taken place will be 
retained by the sponsor to avoid compromising data analysis. 
Consent from a legally acceptable representative of a deceased patient will be obtained for 
enrollment into the study and sample collection.      
8.1.3.
Privacy of Personal Data
The collection and processing of personal data from patients enrolled in this study will be limited 
to those data that are necessary to fulfill the objectives of the study.
These data must be collected and processed with adequate precautions to ensure confidentiality 
and compliance with applicable data privacy protection laws and regulations. Appropriate 
technical and organizational measures to protect the personal data against unauthorized 
disclosures or access, accidental or unlawful destruction, or accidental loss or alteration must be 
put in place. Sponsor personnel whose responsibilities require access to personal data agree to 
keep the identity of study patients confidential.
The informed consent obtained from the patient (or his or her legally acceptable representative)
includes explicit consent for the processing of personal data and for the investigator to allow 
direct access to his or her original medical records for study-related monitoring, audit, IRB/IEC
review, and regulatory inspection. This consent also addresses the transfer of the data to other 
entities and to other countries.
The patient has the right to request through the investigator access to his or her personal data and 
the right to request rectification of any data that are not correct or complete. Reasonable steps 
will be taken to respond to such a request, taking into consideration the nature of the request, the 
conditions of the study, and the applicable laws and regulations.
Exploratory DNA, pharmacodynamic, biomarker, pharmacokinetic, and immunogenicity
research is not conducted under standards appropriate for the return of data to patients. In 
addition, the sponsor cannot make decisions as to the significance of any findings resulting from 
exploratory research. Therefore, exploratory research data will not be returned to patients or 
investigators, unless required by law. Privacy and confidentiality of data generated in the future 
on stored samples will be protected by the same standards applicable to all other clinical data.
8.1.4.
Long-Term Storage of Samples for Future Research 
Samples may be kept and used for up to 15 years after the study is completed; see also 
Section 8.1.2, Informed Consent, for sample handling if a patient withdraws consent.

ADMINISTRATIVE REQUIREMENTS
9.1.
Protocol Amendments
Neither the investigator nor the sponsor will modify this protocol without a formal amendment.
All protocol amendments must be issued by the sponsor, and signed and dated by the 
investigator. Protocol amendments must not be implemented without prior IRB/IEC approval, or 
when the relevant competent authority has raised any grounds for non-acceptance, except when 
necessary to eliminate immediate hazards to the patients, in which case the amendment must be 
promptly submitted to the IRB/IEC and relevant competent authority. Documentation of 
amendment approval by the investigator and IRB/IEC must be provided to the sponsor or its 
delegate. When the change(s) involves only logistic or administrative aspects of the study, the 
IRB (and IEC where required) only needs to be notified.
During the course of the study, in situations where a departure from the protocol is unavoidable, 
the investigator or other physician in attendance will contact the appropriate sponsor 
representative (see Contact Information page(s) provided separately). Except in emergency 
situations, this contact should be made before implementing any departure from the protocol. In 
all cases, contact with the sponsor must be made as soon as possible to discuss the situation and 
agree on an appropriate course of action. The data recorded in the CRF and source documents 
will reflect any departure from the protocol, and the source documents will describe this 
departure and the circumstances requiring it.

At a minimum, source documentation must be available for the following to confirm data 
collected in the CRF: patient identification, eligibility, and study identification; study discussion 
and date of informed consent; results of safety parameters as required by the protocol; record of 
all adverse events and follow-up of adverse events, if applicable.
In addition, the author of an entry in the source documents should be identifiable.
At a minimum, the type and level of detail of source data available for a study patient should be 
consistent with that commonly recorded at the site as a basis for standard medical care and 
recorded in the CRF (see Section 5.2).
9.4.
Case Report Form Completion
Case report forms are provided for each patient in printed format.
All printed forms must be filled out legibly in black ballpoint pen or typed. The appropriate 
pages of the CRF must be signed and dated by the investigator.  
Worksheets may be used for the capture of some data to facilitate completion of the CRF. Any 
such worksheets will become part of the patient's source documentation. All data relating to the
study must be recorded in CRFs prepared by the sponsor. Data must be entered into CRFs in 
English. Designated site personnel must complete the CRF as soon as possible. 
All CRF entries, corrections, and alterations must be made by the investigator or other authorized 
study-site personnel. The investigator or an authorized member of the investigational staff must 
adjust the CRF (if applicable) and complete the query.
Corrections to paper CRFs must be made in such a way that the original entry is not obscured. 
Correction fluid or tape must NOT be used. The correct data must be inserted, dated, and 
initialed by the investigator or an authorized member of the investigational staff. If multi-part 
pressure-sensitive CRFs are used, the investigational staff must not write on separated parts of 
the CRFs left at the investigational site once the original has been sent to the sponsor. Completed 
CRFs will be continuously submitted according to the sponsor's instructions and reviewed by the 
sponsor to determine their acceptability. If necessary, Data Correction/Clarification Forms 
(DCFs) will be generated and transmitted to the study site. The investigator or an authorized 
member of the investigational staff must complete, sign, and date the DCFs.
If corrections to a CRF are needed after removal of the original CRF copy from the 
investigational site, a DCF will be used.

Data Quality Assurance/Quality Control
Steps to be taken to ensure the accuracy and reliability of data include the review of protocol 
procedures with the investigator and associated personnel before the study. Written instructions 
will be provided for collection, preparation, and shipment of samples.
Guidelines for CRF completion will be provided and reviewed with study personnel before the 
start of the study. The sponsor or delegate will review CRFs for accuracy and completeness; any 
discrepancies will be resolved with the investigator or designee, as appropriate. The data will be 
entered into the study database and verified for accuracy and consistency with the data sources.
9.6.
Record Retention
In compliance with the ICH/GCP guidelines, the investigator/institution will maintain all CRFs 
and all source documents that support the data collected from each patient, as well as all study 
documents as specified in ICH/GCP Section 8, Essential Documents for the Conduct of a 
Clinical Trial, and all study documents as specified by the applicable regulatory requirement(s). 
The investigator/institution will take measures to prevent accidental or premature destruction of 
these documents.
Essential documents must be retained until at least 2 years after the last approval of a marketing 
application in an ICH region and until there are no pending or contemplated marketing 
applications in an ICH region or until at least 2 years have elapsed since the formal 
discontinuation of clinical development of the investigational product. These documents will be 
retained for a longer period if required by the applicable regulatory requirements or by an 
agreement with the sponsor. It is the responsibility of the sponsor to inform the 
investigator/institution as to when these documents no longer need to be retained.
If the responsible investigator retires, relocates, or for other reasons withdraws from the 
responsibility of keeping the study records, custody must be transferred to a person who will 
accept the responsibility. The sponsor must be notified in writing of the name and address of the 
new custodian. Under no circumstance shall the investigator relocate or dispose of any study 
documents before having obtained written approval from the sponsor.
For CRFs completed on pressure-sensitive paper, a copy is to be retained in the archives of the 
sponsor. A second copy must be archived by the investigator.
If it becomes necessary for the sponsor or the appropriate regulatory authority to review any 
documentation relating to this study, the investigator must permit access to such reports.
The study will be considered complete upon submission of the final clinical study reports to the 
FDA for the two postmarketing requirements for which this study is being conducted.

Use of Information and Publication
The results of the study will be reported in a Clinical Study Report generated by the sponsor and 
will contain data from all study sites that participated in the study as per protocol. Study subject 
identifiers will not be used in publication of results. Any work created in connection with 
performance of the study and contained in the data that can benefit from copyright protection 
(except any publication by the investigator as provided for below) shall be the property of the 
sponsor as author and owner of copyright in such work.
Consistent with Good Publication Practices and International Committee of Medical Journal 
Editors guidelines, the sponsor shall have the right to publish such primary (multicenter) data 
and information without approval from the investigator. The investigator has the right to publish 
study site-specific data after the primary data are published. If an investigator wishes to publish 
information from the study, a copy of the manuscript must be provided to the sponsor for review 
at least 60 days before submission for publication or presentation. Expedited reviews will be 
arranged for abstracts, poster presentations, or other materials. If requested by the sponsor in 
writing, the investigator will withhold such publication for up to an additional 60 days to allow 
for filing of a patent application. In the event that issues arise regarding scientific integrity or 
regulatory compliance, the sponsor will review these issues with the investigator. The sponsor 
will not mandate modifications to scientific content and does not have the right to suppress 
information. For multicenter study designs and substudy approaches, secondary results generally 
should not be published before the primary endpoints of a study have been published. Similarly, 
investigators will recognize the integrity of a multicenter study by not submitting for publication 
data derived from the individual study site until the combined results from the completed study
have been submitted for publication, within 12 months of the availability of the final data (tables, 
listings, graphs), or the sponsor confirms there will be no multicenter study publication. 
Authorship of publications resulting from this study will be based on the guidelines on 
authorship, such as those described in the Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to 
Biomedical Journals, which state that the named authors must have made a significant 
contribution to the design of the study or analysis and interpretation of the data, provided critical 
review of the paper, and given final approval of the final version.
Registration of Clinical Studies and Disclosure of Results
The sponsor will register and disclose the existence of and the results of clinical studies as 
required by law.

baseline), and a bowel tissue sample (if available, for 
mutation analysis between the tumor and T cells 
residing in the bowel to attempt to determine the origin 
of the tumor clone). Samples obtained will be stored by 
the sponsor or its delegate for future testing. In addition, 
demographic and clinical patient information will be 
collected. The study will be conducted in North 
America.

1.2. Hepatosplenic T-cell 
Lymphoma (revised paragraphs 1 
through 3) 
Hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma (HSTCL) is a rare and 
aggressive subtype of peripheral T-cell lymphoma with a 
poor prognosis (Herrinton, 2011; de Leval, 2011). 
HSTCL generally shows T cell proliferation, particularly 
in the sinusoids of the liver or spleen, without lymph 
node enlargement. It is also occasionally diagnosed 
through bone marrow aspirate and, later in its course, 
malignant T-cells can be found in peripheral blood. In 
the US, the incidence is approximately 0.3 cases per 
million person-years in the general population. However, 
in patients with immune mediated conditions such as 
inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) or acquired immune 
deficiency syndrome, the incidence increases as much as 
100-fold. HSTCL has also been reported in organ 
transplant patients (Tey, 2008). DNA, RNA, or protein 
biomarkers may provide a method to identify patients 
predisposed to develop HSTCL or may allow earlier 
diagnosis of HSTCL in these patient populations.
Literature describing the clinical and presenting features 
of patients with HSTCL has recently been reviewed 
(Tripido, 2009). Diagnosis is typically confirmed by 
bone marrow, liver, or spleen biopsy using histologic, 
flow cytometric and cytogenetic analyses. The tumor 
cells are generally γ/δ T cells with a Vδ1 variable region, 
positive for CD3 and occasionally positive for CD8 or 
Hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma (HSTCL) is a rare and 
aggressive subtype of peripheral T-cell lymphoma with a poor 
prognosis (Herrinton, 2011; de Leval, 2011). HSTCL 
generally shows T cell proliferation, particularly in the 
sinusoids of the liver or spleen, without lymph node 
enlargement. It is also occasionally diagnosed through bone 
marrow aspirate and, later in its course, malignant T-cells can 
be found in peripheral blood. In the US, the incidence is 
approximately 0.3 cases per million person-years in the 
general population. However, in patients with immune 
mediated conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease 
(IBD) or acquired immune deficiency syndrome, the incidence 
increases as much as 100-fold. HSTCL has also been reported 
in organ transplant patients (Tey, 2008). DNA, RNA, or 
protein biomarkers may provide a method to identify patients 
predisposed to develop HSTCL.

with other TNF inhibitors such as adalimumab (Ochenrider, 
2010), and other monoclonal antibodies with other 
mechanisms of action such as natalizumab (Kotylar, 2010).

1.3. Overall Rationale for the Study 
(Number 2) 
Although HSTCL is only observed in infliximab-treated 
IBD patients who received infliximab in combination 
with a thiopurine, TNF blockade may also increase 
susceptibility for developing HSTCL. Therefore, genes 
that are part of the TNF signaling pathway may also 
influence susceptibility for HSTCL.
Although HSTCL is generally observed in infliximab-treated 
IBD patients who received infliximab in combination with a 
thiopurine, TNF blockade may also increase susceptibility for 
developing HSTCL independent of thiopurine exposure. 
Therefore, genes that are part of the TNF signaling pathway 
may also influence susceptibility for HSTCL.
