
To evaluate the effects of filgotinib versus adalimumab for the 
treatment of signs and symptoms of RA as measured by the 
proportion of subjects achieving DAS28 (CRP) ≤3.2 at Week 12

To evaluate the safety and tolerability of filgotinib 

To evaluate the effects of filgotinib on work productivity, fatigue, 
and general quality of life as measured by SF-36, FACIT-Fatigue, 
EQ-5D and WPAI-RA
The exploratory objectives of this study include: 
Study Design:
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo- and active-controlled, 
Phase 3 study in adult male and female subjects with active RA who 
have an inadequate response to MTX (MTX-IR). The study is designed 
to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of filgotinib as well as 
its effect on work productivity, fatigue, and quality of life. 
Approximately 1650 subjects will be randomized in a 3:3:2:3 ratio to 
filgotinib 200 mg, filgotinib 100 mg, active comparator (adalimumab), 
or placebo to match (PTM) administered for up to 52 weeks, all in the 
context of a weekly stable dose of MTX: 

Filgotinib 200 mg group: filgotinib (200 mg q.d.) + PTM filgotinib 
100 mg (PTM q.d.) + PTM adalimumab (PTM s.c. injection q2w)  
(N=450)

Filgotinib 100 mg group: filgotinib (100 mg q.d.) + PTM filgotinib 
200 mg (PTM q.d.) + PTM adalimumab (PTM s.c. injection q2w) 
(N=450)

Active comparator group: PTM filgotinib 200 mg (PTM q.d.) + 
PTM filgotinib 100 mg (PTM q.d.) + adalimumab (40 mg s.c. 
injection q2w) (N=300)

Placebo control group: PTM filgotinib 200 mg (PTM q.d.) + PTM
filgotinib 100 mg (PTM q.d.) + PTM adalimumab (PTM s.c. 
injection q2w) (N=450)

Randomization will be stratified by geographic region, prior exposure 
to biologic disease modifying antirheumatic drugs (bDMARDs), and 
presence of rheumatoid factor (RF) or anti-CCP (cyclic citrullinated 
peptide) antibody (Ab) at screening.
At Week 14, subjects who have not achieved at least 20% improvement 
from Day 1 in both swollen joint count (SJC) and tender joint count 
(TJC) will discontinue investigational study drug dosing but will 
continue with study visits and assessments per protocol. All subjects 
meeting this criterion who discontinue from investigational therapy are 
to receive standard of care treatment for their RA as determined by the 
investigator. 
At Week 24, all subjects assigned to placebo + MTX will be reassigned 
1:1 to either filgotinib 100 mg q.d. or 200 mg q.d. in addition to MTX 
in a blinded fashion and will continue in the study per protocol up to 
Week 52.
All subjects who continue on study drug will be evaluated for loss of 
therapeutic response from Week 30 through Week 52. Subjects failing 
to maintain at least a 20% improvement from Day 1 in TJC and SJC, 
(which is confirmed at 2 consecutive visits), will discontinue from 
investigational study drug therapy but will continue with study visits 
and assessments per protocol. All subjects meeting this criterion who 
discontinue from investigational study drug dosing are to receive 
standard of care treatment for their RA as determined by the 
investigator.
All subjects who have received at least one dose of study drug and exit 
the study early will complete an early termination (ET) visit at the time 
of study discontinuation, with a follow up visit four weeks after the last 
dose of study drug (Post Treatment Week 4), regardless of dosing
duration.
At completion of the 52-week dosing period, subjects who have not 
discontinued assigned study drug dosing, will be provided the option to 
enroll into a separate Long Term Extension (LTE) study 
(GS-US-417-0304).

6) Subjects that have failed prior therapy with a bDMARD are not 
eligible to participate.  Subjects with prior exposure to one 
bDMARD may be enrolled (approximately 20% of total study 
population) if there is documented evidence of limited exposure 
(ie, less than 3 months) to the bDMARD .
Study Procedures/
Frequency:
Participating subjects will visit the clinical study center at Screening, 
Day 1, Weeks 2, 4, 8, 12, 14, 16, 20, 24, 26, 30, 36, 44, and 52 or ET. 
For those subjects not entering the LTE, a follow-up visit will be 
planned 4 weeks after the last dose of study drug (Post Treatment
Week 4). Consequently, subjects are planned to be in the study for 
approximately 60 weeks.
During the Screening period, the subject’s radiographs (hands, wrists, 
and feet) will be sent for blinded central scoring. In addition, 
information on demographics, medical history/concomitant diseases, 
prior and current RA medication will be collected. A physical 
examination,, a 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG), and clinical 
laboratory assessments will be conducted to determine the subject’s 
eligibility for study participation. The screening window may be 
extended to up to 42 days prior to the Day 1 visit for subjects who 
require repeat collection of radiographs only.

Efficacy:
The primary endpoint is the proportion of subjects who achieve an 
ACR20 response at Week 12.
The key secondary endpoints are:

The proportion of subjects who achieve DAS28 (CRP)≤3.2 at 
Week 12 

Change from Baseline in the HAQ-DI score at Week 12

The proportion of subjects who achieve DAS28 (CRP)<2.6 at 
Week 24 

Change from Baseline in mTSS at Week 24
Pharmacokinetics:  
Plasma concentrations of filgotinib and its metabolite (GS-829845) will 
be analyzed. 
Statistical Methods:
The primary analysis set for efficacy analyses will be the Full Analysis 
Set (FAS), which includes all randomized subjects who received at 
least one dose of study drug.
The primary endpoint is the proportion of subjects who achieve an 
ACR20 response at Week 12. The primary analysis will consist of a 
superiority test of filgotinib 200 mg compared to placebo based on the 
ACR20 response rate at Week 12. Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel approach 
adjusting for the randomization stratification factors will be used for 
the hypothesis testing at the 2-sided 0.05-level. 
The following hypothesis testing will commence after the primary 
analysis reaches statistical significance, and will be tested according to 
the hierarchical testing principle at the 2-sided 0.05-level. If a null 
hypothesis is not rejected, formal sequential testing will be stopped and 
only nominal significance will be reported for the remaining 
hypotheses:
1) Superiority of filgotinib 200 mg compared to placebo based on the 
response rate of DAS28 (CRP)≤3.2 at Week 12
2) Superiority of filgotinib 200 mg compared to placebo based on the 
change from Baseline in HAQ-DI at Week 12
3) Superiority of filgotinib 200 mg compared to placebo based on the 
response rate of DAS28 (CRP)<2.6 at Week 24
4) Superiority of filgotinib 100 mg compared to placebo based on the 
ACR20 response rate at Week 12
5) Superiority of filgotinib 100 mg compared to placebo based on the 
response rate of DAS28 (CRP)≤3.2 at Week 12

9) Superiority of filgotinib 100 mg compared to placebo based on the 
change from Baseline in mTSS at Week 24
10) Non-inferiority of filgotinib 200 mg compared to adalimumab 
based on the response rate of DAS28 (CRP)≤3.2 at Week 12
11) Non-inferiority of filgotinib 100 mg compared to adalimumab 
based on the response rate of DAS28 (CRP)≤3.2 at Week 12 
If non-inferiority of at least one filgotinib dose compared to 
adalimumab based on the response rate of DAS28 (CRP)≤3.2 at 
Week 12 is demonstrated, then a superiority test of the respective 
filgotinib dose compared to adalimumab will be performed.
All continuous endpoints will be summarized using an 8-number 
summary (n, mean, standard deviation [SD], median, 1st quartile [Q1], 
3rd quartile [Q3], minimum, maximum) by treatment group. All 
categorical endpoints will be summarized by the number and 
percentage of subjects who meet the endpoint definition.
Safety endpoints will be analyzed by the number and percent of 
subjects with events or abnormalities for categorical values or 
8-number summary (n, mean, SD, median, Q1, Q3, minimum, 
maximum) for continuous data by treatment group.
Sample size is determined based on the superiority test of filgotinib 
200 mg compared to placebo on the change from Baseline in mTSS at 
Week 24. When assuming a difference of 0.4 between filgotinib and 
placebo on change from Baseline in mTSS at Week 24 and a common 
standard deviation of 1.85, 450 subjects in each of the filgotinib group 
and placebo control group are required to obtain 90% power at a 
2-sided 0.05-level.
A sample size of 450 subjects in each of the filgotinib groups and 
placebo control group will provide over 95% power to detect an 
increase in ACR20 response rate from 45% to 65% between the 
placebo control group and the filgotinib group respectively, using a 
2-sided 0.05-level test.

Based on {Liu et al 2014}, 450 subjects in each of the filgotinib 
200 mg and placebo group, and 300 subjects in the adalimumab group, 
will provide over 90% power at 2-sided 0.05 significance level to 
demonstrate that filgotinib 200 mg preserves more than 50% of the 
effect of adalimumab with respect to the response rate of DAS28 
(CRP)≤3.2 at Week 12, assuming both filgotinib 200 mg and 
adalimumab groups have similar response rates of DAS28 (CRP)≤3.2.  
Given this study has a placebo group, assay sensitivity can be 
established through a direct comparison of adalimumab to placebo.
In summary, the total sample size will be 1650 (450 subjects per group 
for filgotinib 100 mg, 200 mg and placebo groups; 300 subjects for 
active comparator group).
This study will be conducted in accordance with the guidelines of Good Clinical Practice (GCP) 
including archiving of essential documents.

INTRODUCTION
1.1.
Background
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, systemic inflammatory disease that affects approximately 
1.3 million adults in the United States (US) {Helmick et al 2008}. Rheumatoid arthritis 
manifests principally as an attack on peripheral joints and may lead to marked destruction and 
deformity of joints, with considerable disability and impact on quality of life. It is characterized 
by the production of autoantibodies, synovial inflammation with formation of pannus tissue, and 
erosion of underlying cartilage and bone. Although people of any age can be affected, the onset 
of RA is most frequent between the ages of 40 and 50 years, and women are affected 3 times 
more often than men. While the cause of RA is still not completely understood, aberrant B-cell 
activation, T-cell co-stimulation, osteoclast differentiation, and cytokine release all have been 
implicated in its pathogenesis.
Treatment of RA is dependent on severity, the patient’s co–morbidities and initial response to 
therapy. Methotrexate (MTX) is a conventional disease modifying anti-rheumatic drug 
(DMARD) and continues to be the cornerstone of RA therapy {Singh et al 2012}. Patients with 
an inadequate response to conventional DMARD(s) are often treated with biologic therapies such 
as tumor necrosis factor inhibitors (TNFi) as an initial second line therapy. However, 
approximately 28% to 58% of RA patients with inadequate response to MTX fail TNFi as 
reviewed in {Redlich et al 2003}. In this setting, treatment guidelines recommend either
switching to another TNFi, alternate biologic, or to a small molecule drug {Singh et al 2012}. 
Despite significant advances in disease management in recent years, there remains a need for 
new treatments, since not all patients respond adequately to current therapies, have 
co-morbidities and some patients experience toxicities and/or intolerance that limit the use of 
approved therapies.
In November 2012, tofacitinib (Xeljanz®) became the first Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor to 
receive Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for the treatment of adult patients with 
RA. Tofacitinib is a small molecule, has strong binding affinity for JAK1 and JAK3, and weaker 
affinity for JAK2. The extensive pre-clinical and clinical development programs demonstrated its 
mechanisms of action via anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects. The drug proved to 
be efficacious in treating the signs and symptoms of RA. However, the observed side-effects and 
risk profile of tofacitinib are similar to those of several existing anti-rheumatic agents with 
cytopenias, elevated levels of liver function enzymes, increased total cholesterol levels, with
increase in LDL typically exceeding those for HDL, and increased risk for infections including 
serious and opportunistic infections. At higher doses, tofacitinib treatment was associated with 
anemia, which is thought to be linked to inhibition of JAK2. 
While the pan JAK inhibitor tofacitinib has shown an early onset of action and long-term 
efficacy in RA as mono therapy and in combination with background conventional synthetic
disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (csDMARDs) therapy, dose levels were limited by side 
effects potentially mediated by its effect on JAK 2 and JAK 3. This highlights the need for more 
selective and targeted therapies with improved immunomodulatory and hematologic effects.

JAK1 is thought to be an integral part of RA pathogenesis due its role in transmitting 
inflammatory cytokine signaling. Hence, targeted inhibition of JAK1 has great potential for the 
treatment of RA with an improved safety and side effect profile. 
1.2.
Filgotinib
1.2.1.
General Information
Janus kinases are intracellular cytoplasmic tyrosine kinases (TYKs) that transduce cytokine 
signaling from membrane receptors through signal transducer and activator of transcription 
(STAT) to the nucleus of cells. JAK inhibitors block the signaling of various cytokines, growth 
factors, and hormones, including the pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin (IL)-6. 
Four different types of JAKs are known, JAK1, JAK2, JAK3, and TYK2 which co-interact with 
different sets of membrane receptors. Inhibition of JAKs is a promising therapeutic option for a 
range of inflammatory conditions including RA and Crohn’s Disease (CD).
Filgotinib (GS-6034, formerly GLPG0634) is a potent and selective inhibitor of JAK1. The 
compound has shown good preliminary efficacy in RA and CD patients in Phase 2. No typical 
JAK2 side effects such as anemia were observed in clinical studies of up to 24 weeks duration. 
In humans, filgotinib is metabolized to form one major active metabolite GS-829845 (formerly 
G254445). Though the potency of this metabolite is lower than the parent molecule, the overall 
exposure and peak plasma concentration in humans is higher than seen in all tested animal 
species. As a consequence, dedicated pharmacology and toxicology studies have been performed 
with GS-829845.  Results from pharmacodynamics (PD) testing in healthy volunteers suggest 
that the clinical activity of filgotinib could result from the combination of the parent molecule 
and the metabolite.
For further information on filgotinib, refer to the current investigator’s brochure (IB).
1.2.2.
Nonclinical Pharmacology, Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, and 
Excretion (ADME) and Toxicology
Filgotinib and its metabolite, GS-829845 have been extensively characterized in nonclinical 
studies. This program includes cellular assays demonstrating potency and selectivity of the 
compound against JAK1; efficacy studies in rats and mice; repeat dose toxicity studies (up to 
26 weeks in the rat and 39 weeks in the dog), in vitro and in vivo safety pharmacology and 
genetic toxicology studies, and reproductive toxicology studies in rats and rabbits. Additional 
toxicology studies conducted include phototoxicity studies and dose-range finding studies in 
support of a definitive rat juvenile toxicity study and a 6 month carcinogenicity study in 
transgenic (TgrasH2) mice. A 2 year rat oral carcinogenicity study is ongoing.

1.2.2.1.
Primary and Secondary Pharmacology
Filgotinib is an adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-competitive inhibitor of JAK1. It is highly 
selective for inhibition of JAK1 over 451 other kinases evaluated in vitro. In cellular assays, it 
inhibits JAK/STAT-driven processes with half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) values 
from 179 nM onwards.  In human whole blood, JAK1 is inhibited by filgotinib with an IC50 of 
629 nM and exhibits approximately 30-fold selectivity over JAK2. Filgotinib demonstrated 
significant efficacy in the rat collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) model as well as in the mouse 
dextran sulphate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis model.
Metabolite GS-829845 exhibits a similar JAK1 selectivity profile but is approximately 10 to 
20-fold less potent than the parent filgotinib in in vitro assays. GS-829845 was as effective as 
filgotinib in the rat CIA model, but at doses that required a 10-fold higher exposure.
1.2.2.2.
Safety Pharmacology
Filgotinib and GS-829845 had no effects on the respiratory system and central nervous system 
(CNS) up to respectively 40- and 5-fold the exposure in RA subjects given filgotinib 200 mg q.d.
Filgotinib and GS-829845 had no relevant effects on cardiovascular parameters (human 
ether-a-gogo related gene [hERG] and dog telemetry studies), apart from a slight non-adverse 
increase in heart rate and arterial pressure with GS-829845 at exposures 7-fold that of the Cmax in 
subjects with RA treated with 200 mg q.d. filgotinib. There were no relevant effects on 
electrocardiogram (ECG) and QT.
1.2.2.3.
Nonclinical ADME
Filgotinib demonstrates good oral bioavailability in mice, rats, dogs, and minipigs but less in 
monkeys.  Plasma protein binding is low (< 70%) in all species, including humans.
The pharmacokinetics (PK) of filgotonib is generally dose proportional without gender 
differences.  No accumulation occurs with repeated dosing. The mean terminal half-life after oral 
administration is 4 and 5 hours (h) in rats and dogs, respectively.
In the rat, filgotinib showed a rapid and even distribution throughout the body.  High 
concentrations were observed only in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and urinary bladder. 
Filgotinib does not penetrate into central nervous system (CNS) tissues.  The distribution of 
filgotinib indicates some affinity for melanin-containing tissues.
Excretion is nearly complete within 24 h (rat) and 48 h (dog) post-dosing.  In the rat, fecal and 
urinary excretion accounted for 40% and 53% of the administered dose, respectively, with a bile 
secretion of about 15%.  In the dog, fecal excretion was the primary route of excretion, 
accounting for 59% of the administered dose, with urinary excretion accounting for 25%.

In vitro metabolism studies in all species revealed one major metabolite (GS-829845). The 
formation of GS-829845 is mediated by carboxylesterases (CES) and is not dependent on 
cytochrome P450 (CYP).
In vitro experiments have shown that drug-drug interactions with filgotinib and GS-829845 are 
unlikely.  There is no inhibition or induction of CYPs or uridine 5’-disphosphate 
glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs), and no relevant inhibition of key drug transporters, including 
the organic anion transporters (OATs) involved in the renal elimination of MTX, by filgotinib or 
GS-829845.
1.2.2.4.
Nonclinical Toxicology
In repeat oral dose toxicity studies in both rats and dogs, the primary target tissues identified for 
filgotinib were the lymphoid tissues which is expected based on the pharmacology of JAK 
inhibition. Additional filgotinib-related findings were observed in the male reproductive organs 
of both species, and in the incisor teeth of rats only. Effects on the lymphoid system were fully 
reversible. Testicular toxicity demonstrated partial reversibility, however sperm counts remained 
low. A dose of 200 mg/day of filgotinib results in an estimated mean clinical AUC of 
2.80 μg∙h/mL, which represents an exposure margin of 2.3, 1.8, and 3.4-fold when considering 
the mean AUC in male dogs at the no-observed-effect-levels (NOELs) in the 26 week and
39 week chronic toxicity studies, and the 39 week targeted exposure toxicity study, respectively.
GS-829845-related findings in general repeat dose toxicity studies were similar to those of the 
parent filgotinib, however no testicular toxicity was noted following administration of 
GS-829845.
Filgotinib and GS-829845 were non-genotoxic when evaluated in the bacterial mutagenicity 
assay, the in vitro mouse lymphoma mutagenicity assay, and the rat bone marrow micronucleus 
assay.
In embryofetal development studies, filgotinib and GS-829845 caused embryolethality and 
teratogenicity in rats and rabbits at exposures similar to the human exposure at 200 mg q.d. of 
filgotinib in subjects with RA.  Administration of filgotinib did not affect female fertility but 
impaired fertility was observed in male rats at exposures approximately 15-fold the human 
exposure at 200 mg of filgotinib in subjects with RA. GS-829845 did not have any effects on 
fertility parameters in either male or female rats.
In an in vitro phototoxicity study in 3T3 cells, the metabolite GS-829845 was positive for

Phase 2b GLPG0634-CL-203, filgotinib with MTX in RA
In GLPG0634-CL-203, subjects with active RA on stable dose of MTX were randomized to
receive either placebo or one of three total daily doses of filgotinib (50 mg, 100 mg, or 200 mg)
on a once or twice daily schedule for 24 weeks. The primary objective of the study was to
evaluate the efficacy of different doses and dose regimens of filgotinib compared to placebo at 
Week 12.
The percentage of American College of Rheumatology (ACR) 20 responders was statistically
significantly higher in the 100 mg and 200 mg once daily, and 100 mg twice daily dose
groups at Week 12 and in the 100 mg and 200 mg once daily, and 50 mg and 100 mg
twice daily dose groups at Week 24. The percentage of ACR50 responders was statistically
significantly higher compared with placebo across all filgotinib dose groups and regimens at
both Weeks 12 and 24 (Table 1-1). The percentage of ACR70 responders was statistically
significantly higher in the filgotinib 200 mg once daily and 100 mg twice daily dose groups
compared with placebo at Week 12 and across all filgotinib dose groups and regimens at
Week 24. A dose-response was observed for all three parameters. In addition, 
theACR20response appeared to plateau at Week 8 in the majority of filgotinib treatment groups
and was maintained up to Week 24. At Week 24, the ACR50 response was maintained and the
ACR70 response continued to increase compared with Week 12.
Starting at week 2 response was observed for ACR20 and ACR50. No statistically significant 
difference was found between the once and twice daily regimens.

At Weeks 12 and 24 the mean decrease in Disease Activity Score for 28 joint count using 
c-reactive protein ( DAS28[CRP]) was statistically significantly greater across all filgotinib 
dose groups and regimens compared with placebo. A dose-response was observed. No
statistically significant difference was apparent between the once and twice daily regimens. At
Weeks 12 and 24, the mean decrease in Simplified Diagnostic Activity Index ( SDAI) and
Clinical Disease Activity Index (CDAI) score was statistically significantly greater across all
filgotinib dose groups and regimens compared with placebo (with the exception of filgotinib
50 mg once daily dose group at Week 12) . In addition, the mean SDAI and CDAI scores were
maintained after Week 12 in the 50 mg daily dose groups and continued to improve up to 
Week 24 in the 100 mg and 200 mg daily dose groups.
No unexpected safety findings were noted. Overall, no differences were observed in the 
incidence of treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs) reported for subjects in any of the 
dosing groups, including placebo, for the duration of the study. TEAEs were reported for 51.2% 
of “All Placebo Exposed” subjects (ie, all subjects combined who received placebo during either 
the entire 24 weeks or only during the first 12 weeks) and 51.5% of “All filgotinib Exposed” 
subjects (ie, all subjects combined who received filgotinib during either the entire 24 weeks or 
only during the last 12 weeks, irrespective of dose).
A total of 15 subjects had ≥1 serious TEAE; 4 subjects in the placebo group (4.7%) and 
11 subjects (2.0%) in one of the filgotinib groups. One of these subjects with ≥1 serious TEAE, 
who received filgotinib 100 mg twice daily with concurrent MTX, died during the second 
12 weeks of the study period due to pneumonia and septic shock. Out of the 15 subjects with a 
serious TEAE, 11 subjects had a serious TEAE due to which the study medication was stopped 
and the subject discontinued the study. A total of 23 subjects had ≥1 AE leading to permanent 
discontinuation of the study medication and the study; 2 subjects (2.3%) in the placebo group 
and 21 subjects (3.9%) in one of the filgotinib groups (including a subject in the filgotinib 
100 mg q.d. group who had a pre-dosing AE which was ongoing throughout the study, for which 
the study medication was permanently discontinued). Most of the serious TEAEs and the AEs 
leading to discontinuation (by preferred term) were experienced by a single subject.
For the duration of the study, the most common (≥10%) TEAEs reported by SOC in subjects 
from both the placebo and filgotinib dosing groups, were Infections and Infestations and 
Gastrointestinal disorders. There were no differences between subjects who received placebo or 
filgotinib in the severity of TEAEs (most TEAEs were mild or moderate; severe TEAEs were 
observed in 1.2% of “All Placebo Exposed” subjects and in 2.2% of “All filgotinib Exposed” 
subjects). Treatment-related TEAEs were generally reported more often for subjects in the 
filgotinib dosing groups than in the placebo group (9.3% with placebo and 20.3% with 
filgotinib); however, within the different filgotinib dosing groups, no clear dose relationships 
were observed.
Six serious infections were reported (1 in placebo arm, 5 in filgotinib arm). All 6 serious and 
one additional non-serious infection in the filgotinib group led to dosing discontinuation. Up to 
Week 24, herpes zoster infections were observed in 5 subjects (1 placebo treated patient and 
4 filgotinib). No cases of tuberculosis, opportunistic infections, lymphoma, or cancer were 
reported throughout the 24-week dosing period.

Laboratory data were consistent with prior phase 2 studies and no new safety findings were 
observed from laboratory data. A summary of laboratory findings of interest, including 
hemoglobin, neutrophil, lymphocyte, creatinine, lipid, and hormone data are summarized below. 
Up to Week 12, small increases were observed in mean hemoglobin concentrations in the 
filgotinib 200 mg daily dose groups (increase of 4.4 g/L from baseline in the filgotinib 100 mg
bid group). Thereafter, hemoglobin mean concentrations appeared to plateau and remain stable 
until Week 24 (increase of 4.9 g/L from baseline in the filgotinib 100 mg bid group). 
Up to Week 4, dose-dependent decreases were observed in mean absolute neutrophil counts in 
the filgotinib treatment groups. Mean absolute neutrophil counts appeared to plateau and 
remained stable until Week 24. No decreases in mean absolute lymphocyte counts were 
observed, including lymphocyte subsets. 
Up to Week 4, dose-dependent decreases were observed in mean absolute platelet counts in the 
filgotinib treatment groups. Mean absolute platelet counts appeared to plateau and remained 
stable. Dose-dependent increases in the filgotinib groups were observed in mean creatinine 
concentrations during the first 4 weeks of the study for most filgotinib treatment groups (up to 
Week 8 for the filgotinib 100 mg bid group) that subsequently plateaued and remained stable up 
to Week 24. 
Up to Week 4, dose-dependent increases were observed in mean concentrations of total 
cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, and triglycerides in all 
filgotinib treatment groups. All these lipid parameters further increased up to Week 8 in the 
filgotinib 200 mg daily dose groups. Thereafter, these increases appeared to plateau and 
maintained at stable mean concentrations up to Week 24. At Week 24, mean increases were 
observed of 0.7 mmol/L in total cholesterol, 0.3 mmol/L in LDL cholesterol, 0.3 mmol/L in HDL 
cholesterol, and 0.1 mmol/L in triglycerides in the filgotinib 100 mg bid group.
In male subjects, small non dose-dependent increases were observed in total and free testosterone 
during the study (at Week 24, mean increases were 3.4 nmol/L for total and 51.7 pmol/L for free 
testosterone in the filgotinib 100 mg bid group). For FSH, inhibin B, LH, and prolactin, small 
changes (both increases and decreases) were observed during the study, without any trends of 
larger changes in male subjects of one or more of the different treatment groups.
GLPG0634-CL-204, Filgotinib administered as monotherapy in RA Subjects
The primary objective of study GLPG0634-CL-204 was to evaluate the efficacy of three doses
of filgotinib q.d. compared to placebo at Week 12.
As shown in Table 1-2, the percentage of ACR20 and ACR50 responders at week 12 was
statistically significantly higher across all filgotinib dose groups compared with placebo. The
percentage of ACR70 responders in the filgotinib 100 mg and 200 mg once daily dose groups
was statistically significantly higher compared with placebo. At Week 24, the ACR50
response was maintained and the ACR70 response showed continued improvement . An early
onset of response was observed for ACR20 (from Week 1 in the filgotinib 200 mg once daily

At Week 12, the mean decrease in DAS28(CRP) was statistically significantly greater across all 
filgotinib dose groups compared with placebo. At Week 24, the mean decrease in
DAS28(CRP) was maintained in the 50 mg once daily dose group and showed a small 
improvement in the highest dose groups. In addition, at Week 12, the percentage of subjects
with DAS28(CRP) remission was higher across all filgotinib dose groups compared with
placebo. Differences vs. placebo were not statistically significant for any of the filgotinib dose 
groups. The number of subjects with DAS28(CRP) < 2.6 and < 3.2 were higher across all
filgotinib dose groups compared with placebo at Week 12; differences vs. placebo were
statistically significant for the filgotinib 200 mg once daily dose group.
Safety data revealed no differences in the incidence of TEAEs reported for subjects in any of the 
treatment groups, including placebo, during both the first 12 weeks of treatment and the full 
24 weeks of treatment. TEAEs were reported for 38.9% of “All Placebo Exposed” subjects

No deaths were reported and a total of 9 subjects had a serious TEAE; 1 subject (1.4%) during 
placebo dosing and 8 subjects (2.9%) during filgotinib dosing. No serious TEAE (by preferred 
term) was experienced by more than 1 subject, and all subjects recovered from their serious 
TEAEs. Out of the 9 subjects with a serious TEAE, 3 subjects had a serious TEAE for which the 
study medication was stopped and the subject discontinued the study. There were no differences 
in incidences of AEs leading to discontinuation among all the different dosing groups, including 
placebo. A total of 11 subjects had ≥1 TEAE leading to discontinuation of the study medication; 
4 subjects (5.6%) during placebo dosing and 7 subjects (2.5%) during filgotinib dosing.
During the whole study, the most common TEAEs reported by System Organ Class in subjects 
from both the placebo and filgotinib treatment groups, were ‘Infections and Infestations’ and 
‘Gastrointestinal disorders’. There were no differences between subjects who received placebo or 
filgotinib in the severity of TEAEs (most TEAEs were mild or moderate; severe TEAEs were 
observed in 1.4% of “All Placebo Exposed” subjects and in 1.1% of “All filgotinib Exposed” 
subjects). Treatment-related TEAEs were generally reported more often for subjects in the 
filgotinib treatment groups than in the placebo group (9.7% with placebo and 16.7% with 
filgotinib); however, within the different filgotinib treatment group, no clear dose relationships 
were observed.
Low numbers of infections were reported as serious (4 subjects with filgotinib) or led to 
discontinuation of the study medication (2 serious infections; ie, cellulitis and pneumonia) were 
observed during the study. Up to Week 24, 1 subject (filgotinib 50 mg q.d. group) had a herpes 
zoster infection. No cases of tuberculosis, opportunistic infections, lymphoma, or cancer were 
reported throughout the 24-week treatment period.
Laboratory data were consistent with prior studies and no new safety findings were observed.

Rationale for this Study
Over the last decade, changes in RA treatment strategies, accompanied by advances in drug 
development and the addition of targeted biological therapies, have greatly improved the 
outcomes for subjects with RA. Despite these developments, therapeutic challenges remain. The
current conventional and biologic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (bDMARDs) may be
ineffective or produce only partial responses in some subjects and may be associated with 
significant safety and tolerability concerns. There is a medical need for simple, orally 
administered therapies with novel and targeted mechanisms of action that can effectively 
improve the disease course while being safe and well-tolerated.

Filgotinib is an orally administered, small molecule inhibitor of JAK1, an intracellular tyrosine 
kinase dysregulated in subjects with inflammatory disorders including RA. Filgotinib has 
demonstrated clinical activity and a favorable safety and tolerability profile in Phase 2 studies in 
subjects with moderately to severely active RA.
1.4.1.
Rationale for Study Design
GS-US-417-0301 is a Phase 3 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled and 
active-comparator study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of filgotinib in subjects with 
active RA who have an inadequate response to MTX therapy (MTX-IR). Filgotinib will be 
administered orally for up to 52 weeks. The objectives of the study are to evaluate the efficacy of 
filgotinib on: the signs and symptoms of RA, on physical function, radiographic progression, 
work productivity, fatigue, and quality of life. In addition, the safety, tolerability, and 
pharmacokinetics (PK) of filgotinib will be assessed.
All subjects in this study are required to maintain background therapy with MTX. Methotrexate 
is the most commonly prescribed first line csDMARD in the treatment of moderately to severely 
active RA and has been shown to reduce the signs and symptoms of disease as well as to inhibit
radiographic progression {Lopez-Olivo et al 2014}. The placebo control used in this study will 
allow assessment of the filgotinib safety and tolerability profile and establish the efficacy 
contribution that filgotinib may provide in combination with MTX. Nonresponders at Week 14,
as defined in protocol Section 3.2, will discontinue investigational therapy but will continue with 
study visits and assessments per protocol. All subjects who discontinue from investigational 
therapy, are to receive standard of care treatment for their RA as determined by the investigator. 
The duration of placebo will be limited.  All subjects in the placebo arm will be reallocated 
1:1 to 100 mg or 200 mg of filgotinib at Week 24. Reallocation of treatment assignment at 
Week 24 will be performed in a blinded manner. Given the slowly progressive nature of RA, 
14 weeks of placebo in Non-responders on accepted background therapy is considered both 
clinically and ethically appropriate and allows an acceptable time period in which to assess initial 
response to therapy. The use of placebo is critical in evaluating subject reported and subjective 
outcomes, which can be highly variable and influenced by placebo therapy. The placebo effect is 
well-established in RA studies and inclusion of the placebo arm is critical to evaluation of the 
overall risk:benefit profile of added filgotinib therapy. Finally, the provision of best supportive 
care in the context of the trial, as well as the limited duration and eventual opportunity for 
subjects to transition to filgotinib, make the use of placebo ethically acceptable for the specified 
duration.
This study includes an active comparator, adalimumab, a monoclonal antibody directed against 
tumor nectrosis factor α (TNF-α). The inclusion of the active comparator will allow comparison
of the efficacy and safety of filgotinib to an approved and frequently prescribed product 
indicated for use in patients who have an inadequate response to MTX therapy.
The study eligibility criteria are consistent with those of recent clinical trials evaluating novel 
investigational treatments for RA. Subjects should meet the 2010 ACR/ European League 
Against Rheumatism (EULAR) criteria for RA. Subjects are required to have active disease

defined as ≥6 swollen and ≥6 tender joints at both Screening and Day 1. In addition, subjects are 
required to have one of the following: an elevated CRP, or the presence of either 3 or more 
documented joint erosions on radiographs if seronegative, or 1 documented joint erosions on 
radiographs if seropositive for anti-CCP antibody or RF. The study duration of up to 52 weeks 
allows sufficient time for demonstrating the safety and tolerability of therapy, reduction in
disease activity, and confirmation that clinical benefit is sustained over time.
1.4.2.
Rationale for the Outcome Measures
Safety and tolerability will be assessed by the evaluation of adverse events (AEs), selected 
clinical laboratory parameters, vital signs, physical examinations, and ECGs, all of which are 
standard safety evaluations in clinical research studies.
The ACR20, ACR50, and ACR70 responses and the DAS28 (CRP) are considered reliable 
measures of response to treatment and disease activity, respectively in subjects with RA. 
Comparison between the treatment groups of the proportions of subjects achieving an ACR20 
response at Week 12 and the proportions of subjects achieving low disease activity in 
DAS28 (CRP) allows for interpretation of a clinically meaningful response and these measures 
have been shown to achieve high discriminatory capacity.
Evaluation of the continuous outcome measures of DAS28 (CRP) and American College of 
Rheumatology N (ACR-N) as secondary endpoints enable the demonstration of improvement 
and magnitude of benefit. The EULAR response criteria classify subjects as non-, moderate-, or 
good responders depending on the extent of change and the level of disease activity reached. 
These response criteria are useful when describing clinically meaningful therapeutic results. The
CDAI and the SDAI have been widely used in clinical studies to demonstrate the impact of a
study drug on controlling disease activity in patients with RA.
Assessing quality of life (measured by the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness 
Therapy-Fatigue [FACIT-Fatigue], 36-item short form health survey [SF-36], and EuroQol 
5-Dimension [EQ-5D]) at Day 1 and during the course of study treatment provides insight into 
the effects on modifying RA disease course and impact on daily life. Treatment satification will 
be assessed by using the Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire for Medication (TSQM) at Day 1 
and during the couse of the study. Assessing the change in economic impact (Work Productivity 
and Activity Impairment [WPAI] and Healthcare Resource Utilization) of RA over the course of 
the study provides insight into the subject’s ability to work and other daily activities as well as 
the impact on the burden of healthcare resources.
Radiographs have been widely used in assessing structural joint damage associated with RA and 
are therefore essential in evaluating the efficacy of a study drug. Reduction in radiographic 
evidence of structural damage progression is an important predictor of long-term benefits in 
delaying or preventing the progression to disability related to RA. While X-ray remains the 
widely accepted method for assessing progression of structural joint damage, evaluation by MRI 
may provide specific advantages and an exploratory assessment of structural joint damage by 
MRI will also be made during the study.  Radiologic data using validated scoring methods will 
be used to demonstrate efficacy in this domain.

Rationale for the Choice of Dose and Dosing Interval
Enrolled subjects will be randomized to receive filgotinib (100 mg or 200 mg), active 
comparator (adalimumab), or placebo. The 100 mg and 200 mg q.d. dose regimens of filgotinib
are based on efficacy and safety data from the Phase 1 and 2 studies, and are supported by 
non-clinical safety studies.
In seven  Phase 1 studies conducted in healthy subjects (GPLG0634-CL-101, -102, -103, -104, 
-105, -107, and -110), filgotinib administered at doses up to 450 mg q.d. for up to 10 days were 
safe and well tolerated.
In the two Phase 2a studies in subjects with RA (Study GLPG0634-CL-201 and -202), 
dosingwith filgotinib was well tolerated and achieved a high level of efficacy at a 200 mg daily 
dose (ACR20 response of 75-92% at Week 4). Administration of a higher filgotinib dose 
(300 mg) did not demonstrate greater efficacy, therefore, the highest dose to be tested in this 
study will be 200 mg q.d.
In two Phase 2b studies, filgotinib at total daily doses of 50 mg, 100 mg, or 200 mg, 
administered in addition to a background therapy with MTX (GLPG0634-CL-203) or as 
monotherapy (GLPG0634-CL-204) was shown to be safe and efficacious in subjects with 
moderately to severely active RA who had an inadequate response to MTX alone(Section 1.2.3).
Exposure-response analysis based on data from all Phase 2 studies indicated a dose-dependent 
increase in efficacy (ACR20/50/70, DAS28[CRP]), with a plateau at the 200 mg total daily dose 
on the dose-response curve. Additionally, in Study GLPG0634-CL-203, no statistically 
significant difference in efficacy was observed at 200 mg daily dose, administered as 200 mg
q.d. or 100 mg b.i.d. These results are consistent with the relationship observed between 
filgotinib exposures and pSTAT1 activation (ex-vivo) following single and multiple filgotinib 
doses, where maximal inhibition of pSTAT1 (~78%) was achieved at or above 200 mg total 
daily dose and intermediate inhibition (~47%) at 100 mg {Namour et al 2015}. 
Safety data collected across Phase 2 clinical studies showed no dose-dependent trends in the 
incidence of AEs or SAEs, including infections, or laboratory abnormalities with the exception 
of  a numerical increase in select gastrointestinal AEs (eg, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and 
upper abdominal pain). This numerical increase  was observed in the 200 mg compared to the 
100 mg dose.  However, the overall frequency was low and clinical relevance is unknown. 
Filgotinib, administered at a dose of 100 mg or 200 mg daily was found to be safe and well 
tolerated. The safety profile was consistent with that observed for an immunomodulatory 
compound administered to subjects with RA. 
Overall, the 100 mg and 200 mg once-daily dose regimens have been proposed based on the 
safety and efficacy data from the Phase 2 studies in RA and the observed plateau in the pSTAT1 
response which indicates doses above 200 mg are unlikely to add additional benefit. Inclusion of 
multiple doses in the proposed Phase 3 trials will enable establishment of an appropriate nominal 
dose for the treatment of RA and determine the regimen with the most favorable risk:benefit 
profile in these populations.

As of January 2016,  Filgotinib has been administered to more than 150 healthy subjects as 
single doses ranging from 1 to 200 mg, and as multiple doses at 25 to 100 mg twice daily, and 
200, 300, and 450 mg daily for 10 days. In addition, filgotinib has been administered to more 
than 1000 RA subjects and more than 150 subjects with Crohn’s Disease at daily doses ranging 
from 50-200 mg. In general, filgotinib has been safe and well tolerated in all populations studied.
Nonclinical studies in rats and dogs identified the testes and lymphoid tissue as target organs for 
filgotinib in long term repeat-dose toxicity studies. In both species, histopathological changes in 
the testes included germ cell depletion and degeneration, with reduced sperm content and 
increased cell debris in the epididymis and reduction in fertility in rats. The dog was determined 
to be the most sensitive species. A dose of 200 mg/day of filgotinib results in an estimated mean 
clinical AUC of 2.8 μg∙h/mL, which represents an exposure margin of 2.3, 1.8, and 3.4-fold 
when considering the mean AUC in male dogs at the no-observed-effect-levels (NOELs) in the
26 week and 39 week chronic toxicity studies, and the 39 week targeted exposure toxicity study, 
respectively. Decreased lymphocytes observed in nonclinical studies have not been shown in 
clinical studies.
Filgotinib has shown an increased risk of embryofetal malformations at exposures similar to 
human doses; the use of highly effective contraception in the subject population will be 
implemented in the study to mitigate this risk.
No clinically relevant impact on cardiovascular parameters (including vital signs and ECG), 
respiratory or neurologic function has been observed in Phase 1 and 2 trials of filgotinib.  Across 
phase 2 trials in RA, filgotinib was well tolerated.In the RA studies (including the open label 
extension Darwin 3), infections were reported more commonly in the filgotinib groups, including 
serious infections leading to hospitalization, and even death. The most common system organ 
classes (SOC) with AEs were infectionsand infestations, and gastrointestional disorders. Dose 
dependent decreases in the phase 2b studies were observed in mean neutrophil counts and 
platelet counts (but mean changes in both remained within normal laboratory reference ranges), 
and there were no decreases in lymphocytes or lymphocyte subsets. Hemoglobin levels slightly 
improved (increased) with filgotinib treatment, confirming that no anemia was induced. Mild and 
clinically insignificant serum creatinine increases were noted in both Phase 2b studies, with 
stabilization by Week 24.  Neutrophil decreases (in the RA population) and a potential increased 
risk of infection may be considered risks consistent with the mechanism of JAK inhibition.  
Overall clinical findings and laboratory changes are consistent with selective JAK1 inhibition 
and based on Phase 2 data the expected benefit of using filgotinib as proposed in this study is 
considered to outweigh any associated risks.
Adalimumab is a TNFα inhibitor that is indicated and commonly used in the target population of 
this trial with well established safety and efficacy profile (Humira US PI, Humira EU SmPC). 
The dose and duration of adalimumab treatment proposed in this study are in line with posology 
approved globally (Humira US PI, Humira EU SmPC).

Risks asscoated with the use of adalimumab are well characterized, and are described in 
approved local product information. Adalimumab is associated with an increased risk for 
developing serious infections that may lead to hospitalization or death. Opportunistic infections 
due to bacterial, mycobacterial, invasive fungal, viral, parasitic, or other opportunistic pathogens 
have been reported with TNFα inhibitors. Reactivation of latent TB has been reported. All 
subjects will be tested for TB before study start as outlined in the exclusion criteria and will be 
carefully monitored for signs and symptoms of infection during and after the study. Study drug 
will be discontinued for serious infections as outlined in section 3.5. An increase of non-
melanoma skin cancers, hematologic cancers and a potential increase of other cancers has been 
reported with use of TNFα inhibitors. Subjects will undergo regular assessments, including 
physical examination and haematological assessments. 
TNFα inhibitors are commonly used as first line therapy in MTX-IR RA patients. Their efficacy 
in this patient population has been well established. Overall, the benefit of using adalimumab as 
proposed in this study is considered to outweigh any associated risks.  
An independent data monitoring committee (DMC) appointed to monitor the study (with an 
interim safety analysis after the first 100 subjects complete 12 weeks of treatment) will provide 
an additional level of risk mitigation.
The overall risk:benefit balance of this study is considered favorable. For additional information 
about the risks of filgotinib, reference is made to the investigator brochure.

Study Design
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo- and active-controlled, Phase 3 study in adult male 
and female subjects with active RA who have an inadequate response to MTX. The study is 
designed to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of filgotinib as well as its effect on
patient-reported outcomes, including work productivity, fatigue, and quality of life. In addition, 
PK will be assessed.
Adult male and female subjects with active RA will be screened to determine eligibility as per 
the inclusion and exclusion criteria (see Section 4.2 and 4.3, respectively). The Screening period 
will be up to 28 days.  The screening window may be extended to up to 42 days prior to the 
Day 1 visit for subjects who require repeat collection of radiographs.
Written informed consent must be obtained before any study-related procedures take place. 
During the Screening period, following signing of the informed consent form (ICF), radiographs 
(hands, wrists, and feet) will be sent for central review for confirmation of the number of 
documented joint erosions. Note that radiographs need to be sent for central review as soon as 
possible after capture and prior to Day 1 to allow for central reading and confirmation of the 
joint erosions for eligibility purposes. 
Subjects will be randomized in a 3:3:2:3 ratio to filgotinib 200 mg, filgotinib 100 mg, active 
comparator (adalimumab), or matching placebo controls administered for up to 52 weeks in a 
double blind fashion.
At Week 14, subjects who have not achieved a 20% improvement from Day 1 in both swollen 
joint count (SJC) and tender joint count (TJC) will discontinue investigational therapy but will 
continue with study visits and assessments per protocol. All subjects who discontinue from 
investigational therapy, are to receive standard of care  treatment for their RA as determined by 
the investigator. At Week 24 all subjects assigned to placebo + MTX will be reassigned 1:1 to 
either filgotinib 100 mg q.d. or 200 mg q.d. in addition to MTX in a blinded fashion and will 
continue the study through Week 52.

All subjects will be evaluated for loss of therapeutic response from Week 30 through the 
Week 52 study visit. Subjects failing to maintain at least a 20% improvement from Day 1 in TJC 
and SJC (as confirmed at 2 consecutive visits) will discontinue investigational therapy but will 
continue with study visits and assessments. All subjects who discontinue from investigational 
therapy are to receive standard of care treatment for their RA as determined by the investigator. 
Subjects who have received at least one dose of study drug and choose to prematurely terminate 
study participation for any reason should complete an ET visit at the time of study 
discontinuation, as well as a post dosing visit four weeks after the last dose of study drug 
(post treatment Week 4) regardless of dosing duration.
At completion of the 52-week treatment period, subjects (who did not discontinue assigned study 
drug or have not met criteria for loss of therapeutic response) will be provided the option to enter 
a Long Term Extension (LTE) study (GS-US-417-0304).
Subjects or trained caregivers will self-administer the adalimumab (or adalimumab placebo) 
injections and will not be asked to return to the clinical study center specifically to receive these 
injections. Subject (or caregiver) training on this self-injection will take place at Day 1 and can 
be repeated as required.
For those subjects not entering the LTE, a follow-up visit will be completed at Post Treatment 
Week 4. 
To enhance the safety monitoring during the study, a data monitoring committee (DMC) 
consisting of independent experts will be convened to periodically review the accumulating 
safety data for the study. In addition, a cardiovascular safety endpoint adjudication committee 
(CV-SEAC) will be convened to periodically review and adjudicate all possible major 
cardiovascular events (MACE).
The assessments planned to be performed at each visit are detailed in the study procedures table 
(Appendix 2). A schedule of the study design is provided below.

to Follow-up visit or entry into the LTE); the duration of dosing is up to 52 weeks.
3.5.
Criteria for Interruption or Discontinuation of Study Treatment
3.5.1.
Study drug interruption considerations:
The Gilead Medical Monitor should be consulted prior to study drug interruption when 
medically feasible. 
Study drug interruption should be considered in the following circumstances; prior to resumption 
of study drug, the investigator should discuss the case with the Gilead medical monitor:

Intercurrent illness that would, in the judgment of the investigator, affect assessments of 
clinical status to a significant degree.   

Subject is scheduled for elective or emergency surgery (excluding minor skin procedures 
under local or no anesthesia); timing of study drug pausing should be determined in 
consultation with the Gilead medical monitor.   

Any subject who develops a new infection during the study should undergo prompt and 
complete diagnostic testing appropriate for an immuncompromised individual, and the 
subject should be closely monitored.
NOTE: During the time of study drug interruption for any of the above, the subject may
continue to have study visits and to take part in procedures and assessments, if deemed 
medically appropriate by the investigator.
3.5.2.
Study drug discontinuation considerations:
The Gilead Medical Monitor should be consulted prior to study drug discontinuation when 
medically feasible. 
Study medication should be permanently discontinued in the following instances:

Any opportunistic infection

Any serious infection that requires antimicrobial therapy or hospitalization, or any infection 
that meets SAE reporting criteria. 

Complicated herpes zoster infection (with multi-dermatomal, disseminated, ophthalmic, or 
CNS involvement)

Evidence of active HCV during the study, as evidenced by HCV RNA positivity

Evidence of active HBV during the study, as evidenced by HBV DNA positivity


Unacceptable toxicity, or toxicity that, in the judgment of the investigator, compromises the 
subject’s ability to continue study-specific procedures or is considered to not be in the 
subject’s best interest

Non-responder at Week 14 OR at 2 consecutive visits after Week 30 as outlined in 
Section 3.2

Subject request to discontinue for any reason



Discontinuation of the study at the request of Gilead, a regulatory agency or an institutional 
review board or independent ethics committee (IRB/IEC)

Subject use of prohibited concurrent therapy may trigger study drug discontinuation; 
consultation should be made with the Gilead medical monitor.

Laboratory criteria:
After becoming aware of any of the below described abnormal laboratory changes occurring at 
any one time, an unscheduled visit (ie sequential visit) should occur to retest within 3 to 7 days
(except creatinine, which should be retested 7-14 days apart). 
2 sequential neutrophil counts <750 neutrophils/mm3 (SI: <0.75x109 cells/L) 
2 sequential platelet counts <75,000 platelets/mm3 (SI: <75.0x109 cells/L)
2 sequential AST or ALT elevations >3xULN and ≥1 total bilirubin value >2xULN or
accompanied by symptoms consistent with hepatic injury.1
2 sequential AST or ALT elevations >5xULN
2 sequential values for estimated creatinine clearance <35 mL/min based on the Cockroft Gault 
formulaSubjects who permanently discontinue study medication for any reason are to receive
standard of care treatment for their RA as determined by the investigator, and those subjects
should be encouraged to continue study, if deemed medically appropriate by the investigator.
Subjects who permanently discontinue study medication for  pregnancy should not continue in
the study; if there are any questions regarding permanent discontinuation, these should be
discussed with the Sponsor.
                                                
1 In each case, there is a need for additional investigations, such as review of ethanol, recreational drug and dietary 
supplement consumption; testing for acute hepatitis A, B or C infection and biliary tract imaging should be promptly 
discussed with the study Medical Monitor

Subjects withdrawing from the study should complete ET and Post Treatment Week 4 visits.
Subjects are free to withdraw from the study at any time without providing reason(s) for
withdrawal and without prejudice to further treatment. The reason(s) for withdrawal will be
documented in the electronic case report form (eCRF).
Reasonable efforts will be made to contact subjects who are lost to follow-up. All contacts and 
contact attempts must be documented in the subject’s file.
The Sponsor has the right to terminate the study at any time in case of safety concerns or if 
special circumstances concerning the study medication or the company itself occur, making 
further treatment of subjects impossible. In this event, the investigator(s) and relevant authorities 
will be informed of the reason for study termination.
3.6.
End of Study
End of Study is defined as when the last subject has completed 52 weeks of dosing plus the 4 
week post treatment visit or has entered the LTE. 
3.7.
Post Study Care
All subjects who meet criteria for clinical response (per protocol), and who complete 52 weeks 
of study assessments will be offered an opportunity to participate in a LTE study (GS-US-417-
0304). Subjects who discontinue early from the main study, or switch to standard of care 
treatment during the study, are not eligible for the LTE. The long term care of subjects who do 
not qualify or choose not to participate in the LTE will remain the responsibility of their primary 
treating physician.

c) Subjects may use concomitant hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) ≤400 mg/day or chloroquine 
≤250 mg/day during the study with the prescription having been stable for at least 
4 weeks prior to Day 1.
6) Females of childbearing potential (as defined in Appendix 5) must have a negative pregnancy 
test at screening and Day 1
7) Male subjects and female subjects of childbearing potential who engage in heterosexual 
intercourse must agree to use protocol specified method(s) of contraception as described in 
Appendix 5.
8) Lactating female subjects must agree to discontinue nursing from Screening through the end 
of their study participation.
9) Meet one of the following tuberculosis (TB) Screening criteria: 
a) No evidence of active or latent TB:
o
A negative QuantiFERON® TB-Gold In-Tube test at Screening and 
o
A  chest radiograph (views as per local guidelines) taken at Screening or within the 
3 months prior to Screening (with the report or films available for investigator 
review) without evidence of active or latent TB infection and
o
No history of either untreated or inadequately treated latent or active TB infection
b) Previously treated for TB: ie, if a subject has previously received an adequate course of 
therapy as per local standard of care for either latent TB (9 months of isoniazid in a 
location where rates of primary multi-drug resistant TB infections are <5% or an 
acceptable alternative regimen) or active TB (acceptable multi-drug regimen). In these 
cases, no QuantiFERON® TB-Gold In-Tube test (or equivalent assay) need be obtained, 
but a chest radiograph must be obtained if not done so within 3 months prior to Screening
(with the report or films available for investigator review). It is the responsibility of the 
investigator to verify the adequacy of previous anti-tuberculosis treatment and provide 
appropriate documentation.
c) Newly identified latent TB during Screening: ie, a subject who has a newly identified 
positive diagnostic TB test result (defined as a positive QuantiFERON® TB Gold in 
Tube test [or equivalent assay]) in which active TB has been ruled out and for which 
appropriate, ongoing, prophylactic treatment for latent tuberculosis has been initiated 
prior to the first administration of study medication. Adequate treatment for latent TB is 
defined according to local country guidelines for immunocompromised subjects.
Cases falling under category “b” and “c” need to be approved by the Sponsor prior to  
enrollment in the study. No subject with currently ACTIVE TB may be enrolled in the 
study, regardless of past or present anti-TB medication use.

INVESTIGATIONAL MEDICINAL PRODUCTS
5.1.
Randomization, Blinding and Treatment Codes
An Interactive Web Response System (IWRS) will be employed to manage subject 
randomization and treatment assignments. It is the responsibility of the investigator to ensure that 
the subject is eligible for the study prior to enrollment. Subjects will be assigned a Screening 
number at the time of consent. 
5.1.1.
Procedures for Breaking Treatment Codes
In the event of a medical emergency where breaking the blind is required to provide medical care 
to the subject, the investigator may obtain the individual subject treatment assignment directly
from the IWRS system. Gilead recommends, but does not require, that the investigator contact 
the Gilead Medical Monitor before breaking the blind. Treatment assignments should remain 
blinded unless that knowledge is necessary to determine emergency medical care for the subject. 
The rationale for unblinding must be clearly explained in source documentation and on the 
electronic case report form (eCRF), along with the date on which the treatment assignment was 
unblinded. The investigator is requested to contact the Gilead Medical Monitor promptly in case 
of any treatment unblinding.
Blinding of study treatment is critical to the integrity of this Phase 3 clinical trial and therefore, if 
a subject’s treatment assignment is disclosed to the investigator, the subject will have study drug
discontinued. 
Gilead Drug Safety and Public Health (DSPH) may independently unblind cases for expedited 
reporting of suspected unexpected serious adverse reactions (SUSARs) to Regulatory 
Authorities.

Randomization 
Subjects will be randoinly allocated to a dosing group according to a pre-specified randomization 
scheme prepared by an independent statistician. Upon qualification for the study, subjects will be 
randomized using a computerized IWRS system. Randomization will be stratified by geographic 
region, prior exposure to bDMARD, and presence of RF or anti-CCP Ab at screening. 
Subjects with prior exposure to a TNFa, inhibitor (with the exception of adalimumab) or a 
bDMARD for RA may be enrolled in the study (up to 20% of the enrolled population) if they did 
not fail previous TNFa, inhibitor or bDMARD due to lack of efficacy and ifthere is documented 
evidence of limited exposure (less than 3 months). 
For each subject at each visit, the clinic will contact the IWRS system and for the appropriate kit 
number to be dispensed. The kit will contain the relevant study diugs for the period until the next 
dispensation visit.

An independent joint assessor with adequate training and experience in performing joint 
assessments will be designated at each study site to perform all joint assessments, and should be 
blinded to the other study assessments performed on that day. The joint assessor should 
preferably be a rheumatologist; however, if a rheumatologist is not available, it should be a 
health care worker with experience in performing joint assessments. The assessor should remain 
the same throughout the study per subject, as much as possible. It is required that the designated 
joint assessor identify an appropriate back up assessor to provide coverage if the designated joint 
assessor is absent.
6.7.1.2.
Subject’s Global Assessment of Disease Activity
The Subject’s Global assessment of Disease Activity will be performed at the time points 
indicated in the study procedures table (Appendix 2). The Subject’s Global assessment of 
Disease Activity should be completed before any other study procedures
The Subject’s Global Assessment of Disease Activity will be recorded on a 0-100 mm visual 
analog scale (VAS), with 0 indicating “no arthritis” and 100 indicating “severe arthritis”.
6.7.1.3.
Physician’s Global Assessment of Disease Activity
The Physician’s Global assessment of Disease Activity will be performed at the time points 
indicated in the study procedures table (Appendix 2).
The Physician’s Global Assessment of Disease Activity will be recorded on a 0-100 mm VAS, 
with 0 indicating “no disease activity” and 100 indicating “maximum disease activity”. The 
evaluating physician and the subject should complete the global assessments independently of 
each other.
6.7.1.4.
Serum CRP
The subject’s serum CRP will be measured at the time points indicated in the study procedures 
table (Appendix 2).
6.7.1.5.
Health Assessment Questionnaire – Disability Index and Pain Scale
The functional status of the subject will be assessed using the HAQ-DI at the time points 
indicated in the study procedures table (Appendix 2) and should be completed before any other 
study procedures. The HAQ-DI is a 20-question instrument that assesses the degree of difficulty 
a person has in accomplishing tasks in 8 domains (dressing, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, 
reaching, gripping and errands/chores). Responses are scored on a 4-point Likert scale from 0, 
indicating no difficulty, to 3, indicating inability to perform a task in that area. The need for aids 
or help from another person will also be recorded. The HAQ-DI total score ranges from 0 to 
3 with higher scores indicating greater dysfunction.

As part of the HAQ-DI, subjects will be asked to assess their average pain during the last week 
on a 0-100 mm VAS, with 0 indicating “no pain” and 100 indicating “severe pain”. This 
assessment should be completed before the joint examination. This pain score will be used to 
drive the ACR20/50/70.
6.7.1.6.
FACIT-Fatigue Scale
The FACIT-Fatigue (version 4) will be completed at the time points indicated in the study 
procedures table (Appendix 2) and should be completed before any other study procedures where 
local language questionaires are available.
The FACIT-Fatigue scale measures an individual’s level of fatigue during their usual daily 
activities over the past week. It consists of 13 questions with a 7-day recall period on a 5-point 
Likert scale, with 0 indicating “not at all” and 4 indicating “very much”. The total score ranges 
from 0 to 52. Higher scores indicate a better the quality of life .
6.7.1.7.
36-Item Short-form Health Survey
The SF-36 (version 2) will be completed at the time points indicated in the study procedures 
table (Appendix 2) and should be completed before any other study procedures. 
The SF-36 is a health related quality of life instrument consisting of 36 questions belonging to 
8 domains in 2 components and covers a 4-week recall period:

physical well-being: 4 domains: physical functioning (10 items), role physical (4 items), 
bodily pain (2 items), and general health perceptions (5 items)

mental well-being: 4 domains: vitality (4 items), social functioning (2 items), role emotional 
(3 items), and mental health (5 items).
The remaining item (health transition) is not part of the above domains but is kept separately. 
These scales will be rescaled from 0 to 100 (converting the lowest possible score to 0 and the 
highest possible score to 100), with higher scores indicating a better quality of life. The SF-36 is 
not disease specific and has been validated in numerous health states.
6.7.1.8.
EuroQol 5 Dimensions 
The EQ-5D questionnaire will be completed at the time points indicated in the study procedures 
table (Appendix 2) and should be completed before any other study procedures where local 
language questionaires are available. 
The EQ-5D is a standard measure of health status developed by the EuroQol Group to provide a 
simple, generic measure of health for clinical and economical appraisal {The EuroQol Group 
1990}. The EQ-5D is not disease specific and has been validated in numerous health states.

The tool consists of the EQ-5D descriptive system and the EQ VAS. The descriptive part 
comprises 5 dimensions (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and 
anxiety/depression). Each of these 5 dimensions has 3 levels (no problem, some problems, and 
severe problems). Results for each of the 5 dimensions are combined into a 5-digit number to 
describe the subject’s health state. The VAS records the subject’s health on a 0-100 mm VAS 
scale, with 0 indicating “the worst health you can imagine” and 100 indicating “the best health 
you can imagine”.
6.7.1.9.
Work Productivity and Activity Impairment for Rheumatoid Arthritis 
The WPAI-RA is a questionnaire developed to measure impairments in work activities in 
subjects with RA {Zhang et al 2010} and will be completed at the time points indicated in the 
study procedures table (Appendix 2) and should  be completed before any other study procedures
where local language questionaires are available. 
The questionnaire consists of 6 questions (currently employed, work time missed due to RA, 
Work time missed due to other reasons, hours actually worked, degree RA affected productivity 
while working [0-10 VAS; with 0 indicating no effect and 10 indicating RA completely 
prevented the subject from working], and degree RA affected productivity in regular unpaid 
activities [0-10 VAS; with 0 indicating no effect and 10 indicating RA completely prevented the 
subject’s daily activities]). The recall period for questions 2 to 6 is 7 days.
Four main outcomes (expressed in percentages) can be obtained from the WPAI-RA: percentage 
of work time missed due to RA, percentage of impairment due to RA, percentage of overall work 
impairment due to RA, percentage of activity impairment due to RA. Note that for subjects who 
did not work during the 7 days covered by the WPAI-RA, the percent overall work impairment 
will be equal to the percent of work time missed due to RA.
6.7.1.10.
Healthcare Resource Utilization
The Healthcare Resource Utilization Questionnaire is designed to assess healthcare usage during 
the previous three months across a number of direct medical cost domains. 
This questionnaire should be completed by the patient prior to any procedures being performed 
at the visit, if possible where local language questionaires are available.
6.7.1.11.
Hands, Wrists, and Feet Radiographs
Hands, wrists, and feet radiographs will be taken at the time points indicated in the study 
procedures table (Appendix 2). Note that if a subject discontinues the study early and has had

ADVERSE EVENTS AND TOXICITY MANAGEMENT
7.1.
Definitions of Adverse Events, Adverse Reactions, and Serious Adverse 
Events
7.1.1.
Adverse Events
An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study subject 
administered a medicinal product, which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the 
treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and/or unintended sign, symptom, or disease 
temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to 
the medicinal product. AEs may also include pre- or post-treatment complications that occur as a 
result of protocol specified procedures, lack of efficacy, overdose, drug abuse/misuse reports, or 
occupational exposure. Preexisting events that increase in severity or change in nature during or 
as a consequence of participation in the clinical study will also be considered AEs.
An AE does not include the following:

Medical or surgical procedures such as surgery, endoscopy, tooth extraction, and transfusion. 
The condition that led to the procedure may be an adverse event and must be reported.

Pre-existing diseases, conditions, or laboratory abnormalities present or detected before the 
screening visit that do not worsen

Situations where an untoward medical occurrence has not occurred (eg, hospitalization for 
elective surgery, social and/or convenience admissions)

Overdose without clinical sequelae (see Section 7.7.1)

Any medical condition or clinically significant laboratory abnormality with an onset date 
before the consent form is signed and not related to a protocol-associated procedure is not an 
AE. It is considered to be pre-existing and should be documented on the medical history 
CRF.
7.1.2.
Serious Adverse Events
A serious adverse event (SAE) is defined as an event that, at any dose, results in the following:

Death

Life-threatening (Note: The term “life-threatening” in the definition of “serious” refers to an 
event in which the subject 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.)

In-patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization


Filgotinib 
Protocol GS-US-417-0301
Final
Gilead Sciences, Inc. 
Amendment 1
CONFIDENTIAL
Page 74
05 July 2016

Persistent or significant disability/incapacity

A congenital anomaly/birth defect

A medically important event or reaction: such events may not be immediately 
life-threatening or result in death or hospitalization but may jeopardize the subject or may 
require intervention to prevent one of the other outcomes constituting SAEs. Medical and 
scientific judgment must be exercised to determine whether such an event is a reportable 
under expedited reporting rules. Examples of medically important events include intensive 
treatment in an emergency room or at home for allergic bronchospasm; blood dyscrasias or 
convulsions that do not result in hospitalization; and development of drug dependency or 
drug abuse. For the avoidance of doubt, infections resulting from contaminated medicinal 
product will be considered a medically important event and subject to expedited reporting 
requirements.
7.1.3.
Clinical Laboratory Abnormalities and Other Abnormal Assessments as 
Adverse Events or Serious Adverse Events
Laboratory abnormalities without clinical significance are not recorded as AEs or SAEs. 
However, laboratory abnormalities (eg, clinical chemistry, hematology, and urinalysis) that 
require medical or surgical intervention or lead to study drug interruption, modification, or 
discontinuation must be recorded as an AE, as well as an SAE, if applicable. In addition, 
laboratory or other abnormal assessments (eg, electrocardiogram, x-rays, vital signs) that are 
associated with signs and/or symptoms must be recorded as an AE or SAE if they meet the 
definition of an AE or SAE as described in Sections 7.1.1 and 7.1.2 f the laboratory abnormality 
is part of a syndrome, record the syndrome or diagnosis (eg, anemia), not the laboratory result 
(ie, decreased hemoglobin).
For specific information on handling of clinical laboratory abnormalities in this study, please 
refer to Section 7.5.
7.2.
Assessment of Adverse Events and Serious Adverse Events
The investigator or qualified subinvestigator is responsible for assessing AEs and SAEs for 
causality and severity, and for final review and confirmation of accuracy of event information 
and assessments.
7.2.1.
Assessment of Causality for Study Drugs and Procedures
The investigator or qualified subinvestigator is responsible for assessing the relationship to study 
drug(s) using clinical judgment and the following considerations:

No: Evidence exists that the adverse event has an etiology other than the study drug. For 
SAEs, an alternative causality must be provided (eg, pre-existing condition, underlying 
disease, intercurrent illness, or concomitant medication).

Yes: There is reasonable possibility that the event may have been caused by the 
investigational medicinal product.

It should be emphasized that ineffective treatment should not be considered as causally related in 
the context of adverse event reporting. 
The relationship to study procedures (eg, invasive procedures such as venipuncture or biopsy) 
should be assessed using the following considerations:

No: Evidence exists that the adverse event has an etiology other than the study procedure.

Yes: The adverse event occurred as a result of protocol procedures, (eg., venipuncture)
7.2.2.
Assessment of Severity 
The severity of AEs will be graded using the modified CTCAE, version 4.03. For each episode, 
the highest grade attained should be reported.
If a CTCAE criterion does not exist, the investigator should use the grade or adjectives: 
Grade 1 (mild), Grade 2 (moderate), Grade 3 (severe), Grade 4 (life-threatening) or 
Grade 5 (fatal) to describe the maximum intensity of the adverse event. For purposes of 
consistency with the CTCAE, these intensity grades are defined in Table 7-1 and Appendix 4.

Adverse Events 
Final 
Amendment 1 
Following initiation of study medication, collect all AEs, regardless of cause or relationship, 
until 30-days after last administrntion of study drng(s) must be reported to the CRF/eCRF 
database as instrncted. 
All AEs should be followed up until resolution or until the adverse event is stable, if possible. 
Gilead Sciences may request that certain AEs be followed beyond the protocol defined follow up 
period. 
Serious Adverse Events 
All SAEs, regardless of cause or relationship, that occurs after the subject first consents to 
paiiicipate in the study (ie, signing the info1med consent) and throughout the duration of the 
study, including the protocol-required post treatment follow-up period, must be reported to the 
CRF/eCRF database and Gilead Drng Safety and Public Health (DSPH) as instructed. This also 
includes any SAEs resulting from protocol-associated procedures perfonned after infonned 
consent is signed. 
Any SAEs and deaths that occur after the post tl'eatment follow-up visit but within 30-days of the 
last dose of study drng(s), regai·dless of causality, should also be repo1ied. Investigators ai·e not 
obligated to actively seek SAEs after the protocol defined follow up periodhowever, if the 
investigator learns of any SAEs that occur after study paiiicipation has concluded and the event 
is deemed relevant to the use of study drng(s), he/she should promptly document and report the 
event to Gilead DSPH. 
• 
All AEs and SAEs will be recorded in the CRF/eCRF database within the timelines outlined 
in the CRF/eCRF completion guideline. 
Electl'onic Serious Adverse Event ( eSAE) Repo1iing Process

further action is necessary.

All AEs and SAEs will be recorded in the eCRF database within the timelines outlined in the 
eCRF completion guideline. 

For fatal or life-threatening events, copies of hospital case reports, autopsy reports, and other 
documents are also to be submitted by e-mail or fax when requested and applicable. 
Transmission of such documents should occur without personal subject identification, 
maintaining the traceability of a document to the subject identifiers.

Additional information may be requested to ensure the timely completion of accurate safety 
reports.

Any medications necessary for treatment of the SAE must be recorded onto the concomitant 
medication section of the subject’s CRF/eCRF and the event description section of the SAE 
form.
7.4.
Gilead Reporting Requirements
Depending on relevant local legislation or regulations, including the applicable US FDA Code of 
Federal Regulations, the EU Clinical Trials Directive (2001/20/EC) and relevant updates, and 
other country-specific legislation or regulations, Gilead may be required to expedite to 
worldwide regulatory agencies reports of SAEs, serious adverse drug reactions (SADRs), or 
suspected unexpected serious adverse reactions (SUSARs). In accordance with the EU Clinical 
Trials Directive (2001/20/EC), Gilead or a specified designee will notify worldwide regulatory 
agencies and the relevant IEC in concerned Member States of applicable SUSARs as outlined in 
current regulations.
Assessment of expectedness for SAEs will be determined by Gilead using reference safety 
information specified in the investigator’s brochure or relevant local label as applicable. 
All investigators will receive a safety letter notifying them of relevant SUSAR reports associated 
with any study drug(s). The investigator should notify the IRB or IEC of SUSAR reports as soon 
as is practical, where this is required by local regulatory agencies, and in accordance with the 
local institutional policy. 
7.5.
Clinical Laboratory Abnormalities and Other Abnormal Assessments as 
Adverse Events or Serious Adverse Events
Laboratory abnormalities are usually not recorded as AEs or SAEs. However, laboratory 
abnormalities (eg, clinical chemistry, hematology, and urinalysis) independent of the 
underlying medical condition that require medical or surgical intervention or lead to 
investigational medicinal product interruption or discontinuation must be recorded as an AE, as 
well as an SAE, if applicable. In addition, laboratory or other abnormal assessments 
(eg, electrocardiogram, X-rays, vital signs) that are associated with signs and/or symptoms must 


Filgotinib 
Protocol GS-US-417-0301

Page 78
05 July 2016
be recorded as an AE or SAE if they meet the definition of an AE (or SAE) as described in 
Sections 7.1.1 and 7.1.2. If the laboratory abnormality is part of a syndrome, record the 
syndrome or diagnosis (ie, anemia) not the laboratory result (ie, decreased hemoglobin).
Adverse events will be coded using the most recent version of the Medical Dictionary for 
Regulatory Activities (MedDRA). Severity should be recorded and graded according to the 
Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Version 4.03, which can be 
found at:
http://www.hrc.govt.nz/sites/default/files/CTCAE%20manual%20-%20DMCC.pdf
For AEs associated with laboratory abnormalities, the event should be graded on the basis of the 
clinical severity in the context of the underlying conditions; this may or may not be in agreement 
with the grading of the laboratory abnormality.
All clinical and clinically significant laboratory toxicities will be managed according to uniform 
guidelines detailed in Appendix 3 and as outlined below.
7.5.1.
Grades 1 and 2 Laboratory Abnormality or Clinical Event
Continue study drug at the discretion of the investigator.
7.5.2.
Grades 3 Laboratory Abnormality or Clinical Event

For Grade 3 clinically significant laboratory abnormality or clinical event, investigational 
medicinal product may be continued if the event is considered to be unrelated to 
investigational medicinal product.

For a Grade 3 clinical event, or clinically significant laboratory abnormality confirmed by 
repeat testing, that is considered to be related to investigational medicinal product, 
investigational medicinal product should be withheld until the toxicity returns to ≤Grade 2.

If a laboratory abnormality recurs to ≥Grade 3 following re-challenge with investigational 
medicinal product and is considered related to investigational medicinal product, then 
investigational medicinal product should be permanently discontinued and the subject 
managed according to local clinical practice. Recurrence of laboratory abnormalities 
considered unrelated to investigational medicinal product may not require permanent 
discontinuation.
7.5.3.
Grades 4 Laboratory Abnormality or Clinical Event

For a Grade 4 clinical event or clinically significant Grade 4 laboratory abnormality 
confirmed by repeat testing that is considered related to investigational medicinal product, 
investigational medicinal product should be permanently discontinued and the subject 
managed according to local clinical practice. The subject should be followed as clinically 
indicated until the laboratory abnormality returns to baseline or is otherwise explained,

whichever occurs first. A clinically significant Grade 4 laboratory abnormality that is not 
confirmed by repeat testing should be managed according to the algorithm for the new 
toxicity grade.
Investigational medicinal product may be continued without dose interruption for a clinically 
non-significant Grade 4 laboratory abnormality (eg, Grade 4 CK after strenuous exercise or 
triglyceride elevation that is nonfasting or that can be medically managed) or a clinical event 
considered unrelated to investigational medicinal product.
7.6.
Toxicity Management 
Treatment-emergent toxicities will be noted by the investigator and brought to the attention of 
the Gilead Sciences medical monitor, who will have a discussion with the investigator and 
decide the appropriate course of action. Whether or not considered treatment-related, all subjects 
experiencing AEs must be monitored periodically until symptoms subside, any abnormal 
laboratory values have resolved or returned to baseline levels or they are considered irreversible, 
or until there is a satisfactory explanation for the changes observed.
Grade 3 or 4 clinically significant laboratory abnormalities should be managed as outlined in 
Appendix 3 and Sections 7.5.2 and 7.5.3.
Any questions regarding toxicity management should be directed to the Gilead Sciences 
Medical Monitor.
7.7.
Special Situations Reports
7.7.1.
Definitions of Special Situations
Special situation reports include all reports of medication error, abuse, misuse, overdose, reports 
of AE associated with product complaints, occupational exposure with an AE, pregnancy reports 
(regardless of an associated AE), and AE in an infant following potential exposure from 
breastfeeding.  
Medication error is any unintentional error in the prescribing, dispensing, or administration of a 
medicinal product while in the control of the health care provider, subject, or consumer. 
Abuse is defined as persistent or sporadic intentional excessive use of a medicinal product by a 
subject.
Misuse is defined as any intentional and inappropriate use of a medicinal product that is not in 
accordance with the protocol instructions or the local prescribing information.
An overdose is defined as an accidental or intentional administration of a quantity of a medicinal 
product given per administration or cumulatively which is above the maximum recommended 
dose as per protocol or in the product labelling (as it applies to the daily dose of the subject in 
question). In cases of a discrepancy in drug accountability, overdose will be established only 
when it is clear that the subject has taken the excess dose(s). Overdose cannot be established 
when the subject cannot account for the discrepancy except in cases in which the investigator has 
reason to suspect that the subject has taken the additional dose(s).

Product complaint is defined as complaints arising from potential deviations in the manufacture, 
packaging, or distribution of the medicinal product.
Occupational exposure is defined as exposure to a medicinal product as a result of one's 
professional or non-professional occupation.
7.7.2.
Instructions for Reporting Special Situations
7.7.2.1.
Instructions for Reporting Pregnancies
The investigator should report pregnancies in female study subjects that are identified after 
initiation of study drug and throughout the study, including the post study drug follow-up period, 
to Gilead DSPH using the pregnancy report form within 24 hours of becoming aware of the 
pregnancy. 
Refer to Section 7.3 and the CRF/eCRF completion guidelines for full instructions on the 
mechanism of pregnancy reporting.
The pregnancy itself is not considered an AE nor is an elective abortion to terminate a pregnancy 
without medical reasons.
Any premature termination of pregnancy (eg, a spontaneous abortion, an induced therapeutic 
abortion due to complications or other medical reasons) must be reported within 24 hours as an 
SAE. The underlying medical reason for this procedure should be recorded as the AE term.
A spontaneous abortion is always considered to be an SAE and will be reported as described in 
Sections 7.1.1 and 7.1.2. Furthermore, any SAE occurring as an adverse pregnancy outcome post 
study must be reported to Gilead DSPH.
The subject should receive appropriate monitoring and care until the conclusion of the 
pregnancy. The outcome should be reported to Gilead using the pregnancy outcome report form. 
If the end of the pregnancy occurs after the study has been completed, the outcome should be 
reported directly to Gilead DSPH. Gilead DSPH contact information is as follows:
Email: 
 and Fax: 
 
Pregnancies of female partners of male study subjects exposed to study drugs must also be 
reported and relevant information should be submitted to Gilead DSPH using the pregnancy and 
pregnancy outcome forms within 24 hours. Monitoring of the subject should continue until the 
conclusion of the pregnancy. If the end of the pregnancy occurs after the study has been 
completed, the outcome should be reported directly to Gilead DSPH,
fax number 
 or email 
 
Refer to Appendix 5 for Pregnancy Precautions, Definition for Female of Childbearing Potential, 
and Contraceptive Requirements.

Reporting Other Special Situations
All other special situation reports must be reported on the special situations report form and 
forwarded to  Gilead DSPH within 24 hours of the investigator becoming aware of the situation. 
These reports must consist of situations that involve study drug(s) and/or Gilead concomitant 
medications, but do not apply to non-Gilead concomitant medications. 
Special situations involving non-Gilead concomitant medications does not need to be reported on 
the special situations report form; however, for special situations that result in AEs due to a non-
Gilead concomitant medication, the AE should be reported on the AE form. 
Any inappropriate use of concomitant medications prohibited by this protocol should not be 
reported as “misuse,” but may be more appropriately documented as a protocol deviation.
Refer to Section 7.3 and the CRF/eCRF completion guidelines for full instructions on the 
mechanism of special situations reporting.
All clinical sequelae in relation to these special situation reports will be reported as AEs or SAEs 
at the same time using the AE CRF/eCRF and/or the SAE report form. Details of the symptoms 
and signs, clinical management, and outcome will be reported, when available.

Efficacy Analysis
8.5.1.
Primary Analysis
The primary endpoint for the study is the proportion of subjects who achieve an ACR20 response 
at Week 12. The primary analysis will consist of a superiority test of filgotinib 200 mg compared 
to placebo based on the ACR20 response rate at Week 12. Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel (CMH)
approach adjusting for the randomization stratification factors will be used for the hypothesis
testing at the 2-sided 0.05-level. Subjects who do not have sufficient measurements to establish 
efficacy at Week 12 will be considered as failures (ie, non-responder imputation [NRI]).  
Sensitivity analyses will be conducted and described in the statistical analysis plan (SAP).

Secondary Analyses
The following hypothesis testing will commence after the primary analysis reaches statistical 
significance, and will be tested according to the hierarchical testing principle at the 2-sided 
0.05-level. If a null hypothesis is not rejected, formal sequential testing will be stopped and only 
nominal significance will be reported for the remaining hypotheses:
1) Superiority of filgotinib 200 mg compared to placebo based on the response rate of DAS28 
(CRP)≤3.2 at Week 12. 
2) Superiority of filgotinib 200 mg compared to placebo based on the change from Baseline in 
HAQ-DI at Week 12. 
3) Superiority of filgotinib 200 mg compared to placebo based on the response rate of DAS28 
(CRP)<2.6 at Week 24. 
4) Superiority of filgotinib 100 mg compared to placebo based on ACR20 response rate at 
Week 12. 
5) Superiority of filgotinib 100 mg compared to placebo based on the response rate of DAS28 
(CRP)≤3.2 at Week 12. 
6) Superiority of filgotinib 100 mg compared to placebo based on the change from Baseline in 
HAQ-DI at Week 12. 
7) Superiority of filgotinib 100 mg compared to placebo based on the response rate of DAS28 
(CRP)<2.6 at Week 24. 
8) Superiority of filgotinib 200 mg compared to placebo based on the change from Baseline in 
mTSS at Week 24
9) Superiority of filgotinib 100 mg compared to placebo based on the change from Baseline in 
mTSS at Week 24.
10) Non-inferiority of filgotinib 200 mg compared to adalimumab based on the response rate of 
DAS28 (CRP)≤3.2 at Week 12.
11) Non-inferiority of filgotinib 100 mg compared to adalimumab based on the response rate 
DAS28 (CRP)≤3.2 at Week 12. 
For categorical endpoints (response rate of DAS28 [CRP]≤3.2 and DAS28 [CRP)<2.6), the same 
CMH approach with NRI as in the primary analysis will be adopted.  For continuous endpoints 
(HAQ-DI and mTSS), mixed-effects model for repeated measures (MMRM) will be used to 
evaluate treatment effect on change score from Baseline, with treatment, visit, stratification 
factors and baseline value included as fixed effects and subject being the random effect.  Missing 
change scores in HAQ-DI and mTSS due to early withdrawal or treatment reassignment will not 
be otherwise imputed using the MMRM approach. Sensitivity analyses will be conducted by 
imputing missing data via, for example, last observation carried forward (LOCF) and multiple 
imputation (MI) methods.

Adverse Events 
Final 
Amendment 1 
Clinical and laborato1y adverse events will be coded using the Medical Dictionaiy for 
Regulato1y Activities (MedDRA). System Organ Class (SOC), High-Level Group Te1m 
(HLGT), High-Level Te1m (HLT), Prefe1Ted Te1m (PT), and Lower-Level Te1m (LLT) will be 
attached to the clinical database. 
Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) are: 
• 
Any AEs with an onset date of on or after the study dmg sta1t date and no later than 30 days 
after pe1manent discontinuation of study diug or 
• 
Any AEs leading to premature discontinuation of study diug. 
Summaries (number and percentage of subjects) ofTEAEs by SOC and PT will be provided by 
treatment group. TEAEs will also be summarized by relationshiop to study diug and severity. fu 
addition, TEAEs leading to premature discontinuation of study diug will be summarized and 
listed. 
8.6.3. 
Laboratory Evaluations 
Selected laborato1y data will be summai·ized (n, mean, SD, median, QI, Q3, minimum, and 
maximum) by treatment group and study visit along with conesponding change from Baseline. 
The incidence of treatment-emergent graded laborato1y abno1malities will be summai·ized 
similai·ly. 
Graded laborato1y abno1malities will be defined using CTCAE 4.03 grading scale Appendix 4. 
8.7. 
Pharmacokinetic Analysis 
Plasma concentrations of filgotinib and its metabolite (GS-829845) will be listed and 
summarized for all subjects by treatment using descriptive statistics (eg, sample size, arithmetic 
mean, geometric mean, % coefficient of variation, standard deviation, median, minimum, and 
Exposure-response analyses may be perfonned. 
8.8. 
Biomarker Analysis 
Explorato1y analyses may be perfonned to evaluate the association of each biomarker or 
combination of biomai·kers with clinical outcomes, the modulation of biomai·kers related to 
mechanism of action and disease progression, and biomarker or combination of biomai·kers 
predictive of treatment response.

Exploratory biomarkers analyses that may enhance the understanding of the biological effects, 
the mechanism of action, or safety, may be performed. Biomarker objectives may be further 
described and updated based on evolving scientific knowledge of filgotinib. If an exploratory 
biomarker analysis is to be performed, biomarker analysis plan, with details on objectives and 
analysis methods, will be issued prior to the actual data analysis.
8.9.
Sample Size
Sample size is determined based on the superiority test of filgotinib 200 mg compared to placebo 
based on the change from Baseline in mTSS at Week 24. When assuming a difference of 
0.4 between filgotinib and placebo on change from Baseline in mTSS at Week 24 and a common 
standard deviation of 1.85, 450 subjects in each of the filgotinib 200 mg group and placebo 
control group are required to obtain 90% power at a 2-sided 0.05-level. 
A sample size of 450 subjects in each of the filgotinib groups and placebo control group will 
provide over 95% power to detect an increase in ACR20 response rate of 45% to 65% between 
the placebo control group and the filgotinib group respectively, using a 2-sided 0.05-level test.
Based on {Liu et al 2014}, 450 subjects in each of the filgotinib 200 mg group and placebo 
group, and 300 subjects in the adalimumab group, will provide over 90% power at 2-sided 
0.05 significance level to demonstrate that filgotinib 200 mg preserves more than 50% of the 
effect of adalimumab with respect to the response rate of DAS28 (CRP)≤3.2 at Week 12, 
assuming both filgotinib 200 mg and adalimumab groups have similar response rates of DAS28 
(CRP)≤3.2.  Given this study has a placebo group, assay sensitivity can be established through a 
direct comparison of adalimumab to placebo.
In summary, the total sample size will be 1650 (450 for the filgotinib 200 mg, filgotinib 100 mg, 
placebo groups, and 300 for the active comparator group).
8.10.
Data Monitoring Committee
An external multidisciplinary DMC will review the progress of the study and perform interim 
reviews of safety data and provide recommendation to Gilead whether the nature, frequency, and 
severity of adverse effects associated with study treatment warrant the early termination of the 
study in the best interests of the participants, whether the study should continue as planned, or 
the study should continue with modifications. 
The initial reviews will be conducted after approximately 100 subjects enrolled complete through 
12 weeks of treatment. The DMC’s specific activities will be defined by a mutually agreed 
charter, which will define the DMC’s membership, conduct and meeting schedule.
While the DMC will be asked to advise Gilead regarding future conduct of the study, including 
possible early study termination, Gilead retains final decision-making authority on all aspects of 
the study.

9.1.
Investigator Responsibilities
9.1.1.
Good Clinical Practice
The investigator will ensure that this study is conducted in accordance with the principles of the 
Declaration of Helsinki (as amended in Edinburgh, Tokyo, Venice, Hong Kong, and 
South Africa), International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) guidelines, or with the laws and 
regulations of the country in which the research is conducted, whichever affords the greater 
protection to the study subject. These standards are consistent with the European Union Clinical 
Trials Directive 2001/20/EC and Good Clinical Practice Directive 2005/28/EC.
The investigator will ensure adherence to the basic principles of Good Clinical Practice, as 
outlined in 21 CFR 312, subpart D, “Responsibilities of Sponsors and Investigators,” 21 CFR, 
part 50, 1998, and 21 CFR, part 56, 1998.
The investigator and all applicable subinvestigators will comply with 21 CFR, Part 54, 1998, 
providing documentation of their financial interest or arrangements with Gilead, or proprietary 
interests in the investigational drug under study. This documentation must be provided prior to 
the investigator’s (and any subinvestigator’s) participation in the study. The investigator and 
subinvestigator agree to notify Gilead of any change in reportable interests during the study and 
for 1 year following completion of the study. Study completion is defined as the date when the 
last subject completes the protocol-defined activities.
9.1.2.
Institutional Review Board (IRB)/Independent Ethics Committee (IEC) 
Review and Approval
The investigator (or sponsor as appropriate according to local regulations) will submit this 
protocol, informed consent form, and any accompanying material to be provided to the subject 
(such as advertisements, subject information sheets, or descriptions of the study used to obtain 
informed consent) to an IRB/IEC. The investigator will not begin any study subject activities 
until approval from the IRB/IEC has been documented and provided as a letter to the 
investigator.
Before implementation, the investigator will submit to and receive documented approval from 
the IRB/IEC any modifications made to the protocol or any accompanying material to be 
provided to the subject after initial IRB/IECapproval, with the exception of those necessary to 
reduce immediate risk to study subjects.
9.1.3.
Informed Consent
The investigator is responsible for obtaining written informed consent from each individual 
participating in this study after adequate explanation of the aims, methods, objectives, and 
potential hazards of the study and before undertaking any study-related procedures. The 


Filgotinib 
Protocol GS-US-417-0301
Final
Gilead Sciences, Inc. 
Amendment 1

Page 92
05 July 2016
investigator must use the most current IRB/IEC approved consent form for documenting written 
informed consent. Each informed consent (or assent as applicable) will be appropriately signed 
and dated by the subject and the person conducting the consent discussion, and also by an 
impartial witness if required by IRB/ IEC or local requirements. The consent form will inform 
subjects about genomic testing and sample retention, and their right to receive clinically relevant 
genomic analysis results.
9.1.4.
Confidentiality
The investigator must assure that subjects’ anonymity will be strictly maintained and that their 
identities are protected from unauthorized parties. Only subject initials, date of birth, another 
unique identifier (as allowed by local law) and an identification code  will be recorded on any 
form or biological sample submitted to the Sponsor, IRB/IEC, or laboratory. Laboratory 
specimens must be labeled in such as way as to protect subject identity while allowing the results 
to be recorded to the proper subject. Refer to specific laboratory instructions. NOTE: The 
investigator must keep a screening log showing codes, names, and addresses for all subjects 
screened and for all subjects enrolled in the trial. Subject data will be processed in accordance 
with all applicable regulations. 
The investigator agrees that all information received from Gilead, including but not limited to the 
investigator brochure, this protocol, CRF/eCRF, the study drug, and any other study information, 
remain the sole and exclusive property of Gilead during the conduct of the study and thereafter. 
This information is not to be disclosed to any third party (except employees or agents directly 
involved in the conduct of the study or as required by law) without prior written consent from 
Gilead. The investigator further agrees to take all reasonable precautions to prevent the 
disclosure by any employee or agent of the study site to any third party or otherwise into the 
public domain.
9.1.5.
Study Files and Retention of Records
The investigator must maintain adequate and accurate records to enable the conduct of the study 
to be fully documented and the study data to be subsequently verified. These documents should 
be classified into at least the following two categories: (1) investigator’s study file, and 
(2) subject clinical source documents.
The investigator’s study file will contain the protocol/amendments, CRF and query forms, 
IRB/IEC and governmental approval with correspondence, informed consent, drug records, staff 
curriculum vitae and authorization forms, and other appropriate documents and correspondence.
The required source data should include sequential notes containing at least the following 
information for each subject:

Subject identification (name, date of birth, gender);

Documentation that subject meets eligibility criteria, ie, history, physical examination, and 
confirmation of diagnosis (to support inclusion and exclusion criteria);


Filgotinib 
Protocol GS-US-417-0301

Gilead Sciences, Inc. 
Amendment 1
CONFIDENTIAL
Page 93
05 July 2016

Documentation of the reason(s) a consented subject is not enrolled

Participation in study (including study number);

Study discussed and date of informed consent;

Dates of all visits;

Documentation that protocol specific procedures were performed;

Results of efficacy parameters, as required by the protocol;

Start and end date (including dose regimen) of study drug(s), including dates of dispensing 
and return;

Record of all adverse events and other safety parameters (start and end date, and including 
causality and severity);

Concomitant medication (including start and end date, dose if relevant; dose changes);

Date of study completion and reason for early discontinuation, if it occurs.
All clinical study documents must be retained by the investigator until at least 2 years or 
according to local laws, whichever is longer, after the last approval of a marketing application in 
an ICH region (ie, United States, Europe, or Japan) and until there are no pending or planned 
marketing applications in an ICH region; or, if no application is filed or if the application is not 
approved for such indication, until 2 years after the investigation is discontinued and regulatory 
authorities have been notified. Investigators may be required to retain documents longer if 
specified by regulatory requirements, by local regulations, or by an agreement with Gilead. The 
investigator must notify Gilead before destroying any clinical study records.
Should the investigator wish to assign the study records to another party or move them to another 
location, Gilead must be notified in advance.
If the investigator cannot provide for this archiving requirement at the study site for any or all of 
the documents, special arrangements must be made between the investigator and Gilead to store 
these records securely away from the site so that they can be returned sealed to the investigator 
in case of an inspection. When source documents are required for the continued care of the 
subject, appropriate copies should be made for storage away from the site.
9.1.6.
Case Report Forms
For each subject consented, an eCRF will be completed by an authorized study staff member 
whose training for this function is documented according to study procedures. eCRF should be 
completed on the day of the subject visit to enable the sponsor to perform central monitoring of 
safety data.  The Eligibility Criteria eCRF should be completed only after all data related to 


Filgotinib 
Protocol GS-US-417-0301

eligibility have been received.  Subsequent to data entry, a study monitor will perform source 
data verification within the EDC system. Original entries as well as any changes to data fields 
will be stored in the audit trail of the system.  Prior to database lock (or any interim time points 
as described in the clinical data management plan), the investigator will use his/her log in 
credentials to confirm that the forms have been reviewed, and that the entries accurately reflect 
the information in the source documents. The eCRF captures the data required per the protocol 
schedule of events and procedures. System-generated or manual queries will be issued to the 
investigative site staff as data discrepancies are identified by the monitor or internal Gilead staff, 
who routinely review the data for completeness, correctness, and consistency. The site 
coordinator is responsible for responding to the queries in a timely manner, within the system, 
either by confirming the data as correct or updating the original entry, and providing the reason 
for the update (eg data entry error). At the conclusion of the trial, Gilead will provide the site 
with a read-only archive copy of the data entered by that site. This archive must be stored in 
accordance with the records retention requirements outlined in Section 9.1.5.
9.1.7.
Investigational Medicinal Product Accountability and Return
Where possible, study drug(s) should be destroyed at the site. At the start of the study, the study 
monitor will evaluate each study center’s study drug disposal procedures and provide appropriate 
instruction for disposal or return of unused study drug supplies. If the site has an appropriate 
standard operating procedure (SOP) for drug destruction as determined by Gilead Sciences, the 
site may destroy used (empty or partially empty) and unused study drug supplies as long as 
performed in accordance with the site’s SOP. This can occur only after the study monitor has 
performed drug accountability during an on-site monitoring visit. 
A copy of the site’s Study Drug Disposal SOP or written procedure (signed and dated by the PI 
or designee) will be obtained for Gilead site files. If the site does not have acceptable 
procedures in place, arrangements will be made between the site and Gilead Sciences 
(or Gilead Sciences’ representative) for return of unused study drug supplies. 
If study drug is destroyed on site, the investigator must maintain accurate records for all study 
drugs destroyed. Upon study completion, copies of the study drug accountability records must be 
filed at the site. Another copy will be returned to Gilead.
The study monitor will review study drug supplies and associated records at periodic intervals.
9.1.8.
Inspections
The investigator will make available all source documents and other records for this trial to 
Gilead’s appointed study monitors, to IRBs/IECs, or to regulatory authority or health authority 
inspectors.
9.1.9.
Protocol Compliance
The investigator is responsible for ensuring the study is conducted in accordance with the 
procedures and evaluations described in this protocol.

made only by Gilead. The investigator must submit all protocol modifications to the IRB/IEC in 
accordance with local requirements and receive documented IRB/IECapproval before 
modifications can be implemented.
9.2.2.
Study Report and Publications
A clinical study report (CSR) will be prepared and provided to the regulatory agency(ies). Gilead 
will ensure that the report meets the standards set out in the ICH Guideline for Structure and 
Content of Clinical Study Reports (ICH E3). Note that an abbreviated report may be prepared in 
certain cases. 
Investigators in this study may communicate, orally present, or publish in scientific journals or 
other scholarly media only after the following conditions have been met:
the results of the study in their entirety have been publicly disclosed by or with the consent of 
Gilead in an abstract, manuscript, or presentation form or the study has been completed at all 
study sites for at least 2 years
The investigator will submit to Gilead any proposed publication or presentation along with the 
respective scientific journal or presentation forum at least 30 days before submission of the 
publication or presentation. 
No such communication, presentation, or publication will include Gilead’s confidential 
information (see Section 9.1.4).
The investigator will comply with Gilead’s request to delete references to its confidential 
information (other than the study results) in any paper or presentation and agrees to withhold 
publication or presentation for an additional 60 days in order to obtain patent protection if 
deemed necessary.
9.3.
Joint Investigator/Sponsor Responsibilities
9.3.1.
Payment Reporting
Investigators and their study staff may be asked to provide services performed under this 
protocol, eg attendance at Investigator's Meetings.  If required under the applicable statutory and 
regulatory requirements, Gilead will capture and disclose to Federal and State agencies any 
expenses paid or reimbursed for such services, including any clinical trial payments, meal, travel 
expenses or reimbursements, consulting fees, and any other transfer of value.

Access to Information for Monitoring
In accordance with regulations and guidelines, the study monitor must have direct access to the 
investigator’s source documentation in order to verify the accuracy of the data recorded in the 
CRF/eCRF.
The monitor is responsible for routine review of the CRF/eCRF at regular intervals throughout 
the study to verify adherence to the protocol and the completeness, consistency, and accuracy of 
the data being entered on them. The monitor should have access to any subject records needed to 
verify the entries on the CRF/eCRF. The investigator agrees to cooperate with the monitor to 
ensure that any problems detected through any type of monitoring (central, on site) are resolved.
9.3.3.
Access to Information for Auditing or Inspections
Representatives of regulatory authorities or of Gilead may conduct inspections or audits of the 
clinical study. If the investigator is notified of an inspection by a regulatory authority the 
investigator agrees to notify the Gilead medical monitor immediately. The investigator agrees to 
provide to representatives of a regulatory agency or Gilead access to records, facilities, and 
personnel for the effective conduct of any inspection or audit.
9.3.4.
Study Discontinuation
Both the sponsor and the investigator reserve the right to terminate the study at any time. Should 
this be necessary, both parties will arrange discontinuation procedures and notify the appropriate 
regulatory authority(ies), IRBs, and IECs. In terminating the study, Gilead and the investigator 
will assure that adequate consideration is given to the protection of the subjects’ interests.

Appendix 5.
Pregnancy Precautions, Definition for Female of Childbearing 
Potential, and Contraceptive Methods 
The administration of filgotinib in embryo-fetal animal development studies resulted in 
decreased numbers of viable rat fetuses, increased resorptions, and visceral and skeletal 
malformations.  Similar effects were noted in the rabbit. A safety margin relative to human 
exposure has not been identified.  Pregnancy is contraindicated during use of filgotininb.
For participation in this study, all subjects of childbearing potential must agree to the use of 
highly effective contraception as outlined below.
1) Definitions
a) Definition of Childbearing Potential
For the purposes of this study, a female-born subject is considered of childbearing potential 
following the initiation of puberty (Tanner stage 2) until becoming post-menopausal, unless 
permanently sterile or with medically documented ovarian failure.  
Women are considered to be in a postmenopausal state when they are > 54 years of age with 
cessation of previously occurring menses for > 12 months without an alternative cause. In 
addition, women of any age with amenorrhea > 12 months may also be considered 
postmenopausal if their FSH level is in the postmenopausal range at Screening and they are not 
using hormonal contraception or hormonal replacement therapy.   `
Permanent sterilization includes hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy, or bilateral 
salpingectomy/ in a female subject of any age.
b) Definition of Male Fertility
For the purposes of this study, a male-born subject is considered fertile after the initiation of 
puberty unless permanently sterile by bilateral orchidectomy or has medical documentation of 
permanent male infertility.
2) Contraception for Female Subjects
a) Study Drug Effects on Pregnancy and Hormonal Contraception
Filgotinib is contraindicated in pregnancy as there is a possibility of human 
teratogenicity/fetotoxicity in early pregnancy based on non-clinical data. A dedicated study 
assessing the impact of filgotinib on the efficacy of hormonally-based contraceptives 
(with ovulation inhibition as mechanism of action) has not yet been performed to fully verify the 
absence of any clinically significant interaction between filgotinib and oral contraceptives.  
However, clinically relevant drug-drug interactions between hormonally-based contraceptives 
and filgotinib or its active metabolite GS-829845 are not expected. In vitro studies in HepaRG 
cells using reference substrates indicate that filgotinib and GS-829845 do not induce CYP1A2, 


Filgotinib 
Protocol GS-US-417-0301
Final
Gilead Sciences, Inc. 
Amendment 1
CONFIDENTIAL
Page 109
05 July 2016
CYP2B6, or CYP3A4, enzymes involved in metabolism of common hormonal contraceptives. 
Preliminary results using primary human hepatocytes also confirmed that filgotinib and 
GS-829845 did not induce mRNA expression of CYP1A2, CYP2B6, or CYP3A4. The lack of 
induction potential of filgotinib and GS-829845 on CYP3A4 was further confirmed in a clinical 
drug-drug interaction study, where multiple dose administration of 200 mg filgotinib did not 
affect the pharmacokinetics of midazolam (a prototypical in vivo probe CYP3A4 substrate). 
Additionally, clinically relevant inhibition of CYPs or UGTs during filgotinib treatment is 
unlikely, based on in vitro data.
Based on the totality of the in vitro and clinical data, clinically relevant drug interactions 
between filgotinib or GS-829845 with hormonal contraceptives are not expected. For female 
subjects, hormonal contraceptives will be permitted as a form of contraception when used in 
conjunction with a barrier method (preferably male condom). For male subjects, male condom 
should be used; for their female partners of childbearing potential, an accepted contraceptive 
method should also be considered. Details are outlined below.
Please refer to the latest version of the filgotinib investigator’s brochure for additional 
information.
b) Contraception for Female Subjects of Childbearing Potential
The inclusion of female subjects of childbearing potential requires the use of highly effective 
contraceptive measures.  Women must have a negative serum pregnancy test at Screening and a 
negative urine pregnancy test on the Baseline/Day 1 visit prior to randomization.  Pregnancy 
tests will be performed at monthly intervals thereafter.  In the event of a delayed menstrual 
period (> one month between menstruations), a pregnancy test must be performed to rule out 
pregnancy.  This is true even for women of childbearing potential with infrequent or irregular 
periods. Female subjects must agree to use one of the following methods from Screening until 
35 days following the last dose of study drug. 

Complete abstinence from intercourse of reproductive potential.  Abstinence is an acceptable 
method of contraception only when it is in line with the subject’s preferred and usual 
lifestyle.
Or

Consistent and correct use of 1 of the following methods of birth control listed below. 
Intrauterine device (IUD) with a failure rate of <1% per year
Tubal sterilization
Essure micro-insert system (provided confirmation of success 3 months after procedure)


Filgotinib 
Protocol GS-US-417-0301
Final
Gilead Sciences, Inc. 
Amendment 1
CONFIDENTIAL
Page 110
05 July 2016
Vasectomy in the male partner (provided that the partner is the sole sexual partner and 
had confirmation of surgical success at least 3 months after procedure, with 
documentation of sperm-free ejaculate)

These above described methods are considered preferred methods of highly effective 
contraception in this protocol.
Female subjects who wish to use a hormonally based method must agree to use it in conjunction 
with a barrier method (used either by the female subject or by her male partner).  Female subjects 
who utilize a hormonal contraceptive as one of their birth control methods must have
consistently used the same method for at least three months prior to study dosing.
Hormonally-based contraceptives and barrier methods permitted for use in this protocol are as 
follows:

Hormonal methods (subject must agree to use with a barrier method, preferably, with a male 
condom)
Oral contraceptives (either combined estrogen/progestin or progesterone only)
Injectable progesterone
Implants of levonorgestrel
Transdermal contraceptive patch
Contraceptive vaginal ring

Barrier methods (subject must agree to use with a hormonal method)
Male or female condom, with or without spermicide
Diaphragm with spermicide
Cervical cap with spermicide
Sponge with spermicide

All female subjects must also agree to refrain from egg donation and in vitro fertilization 
during study participation and for at least 35 days after the last study drug dose.
3) Contraception for Male Subjects
It is theoretically possible that a relevant systemic concentration may be achieved in a female 
partner from exposure to the male subject’s seminal fluid.  Therefore, male subjects with female 
partners of childbearing potential must agree to use condoms during study participation and for 
90 days after the last study drug dose.  Female partners of male study subjects should consider 
using one of the above methods of contraception as well. Male subjects must also agree to refrain 
from sperm donation during treatment and until at least 90 days after the end of dosing.

4) Unacceptable Birth Control Methods
Birth control methods that are unacceptable include periodic abstinence (e,g, calendar, ovulation, 
symptothermal, post-ovulation methods), withdrawal (coitus interruptus), spermicides only, and 
lactational amenorrhea method (LAM).  Female condom and male condom should not be used 
together.
5) Procedures to be Followed in the Event of Pregnancy
Subjects will be instructed to notify the investigator if they become pregnant at any time during 
the study, or if they become pregnant within 35 days of last study drug dose.  Subjects who 
become pregnant or who suspect that they are pregnant during the study must report the 
information to the investigator and discontinue study drug immediately. Subjects whose partner 
has become pregnant or suspects she is pregnant during the study are to report the information to 
the investigator.
Instructions for reporting pregnancy, partner pregnancy, and pregnancy outcome are outlined in 
Section 7.7.2.1.
Pregnancy Testing 
All females of childbearing potential will have urine pregnancy testing every 4 weeks during the 
dosing period through 35 days after their last dose of study drug. During the periods where study 
visits are every 6-8 weeks, women should continue to have pregnancy tests every 4 weeks, using 
home pregnancy urine tests, that will be provided to them. The site will call the subject every 4
weeks to obtain results of these pregnancy tests and will record the information in the source 
documents and CRF. If a positive urine pregnancy test is reported, the subject will be asked to 
return to the clinic for a confirmatory serum pregnancy test.

a 
The criteria are aimed at classification of newly presenting patients. In addition, patients with erosive disease typical of 
rheumatoid arthritis (RA) with a history compatible with prior fulfillment of the 2010 criteria should be classified as having 
RA. Patients with longstanding disease, including those whose disease is inactive (with or without treatment) who, based on 
retrospectively available data, have previously fulfilled the 2010 criteria should be classified as having RA.
b
Differential diagnoses vary among patients with different presentations, but may include conditions such as systemic lupus 
erythematosus, psoriatic arthritis, and gout. If it is unclear about the relevant differential diagnoses to consider, an expert 
rheumatologist should be consulted.
c
Although patients with a score of <6/10 are not classifiable as having RA, their status can be reassessed and the criteria 
might be fulfilled cumulatively over time.
d
Joint involvement refers to any swollen or tender joint on examination, which may be confirmed by imaging evidence of 
synovitis. Distal interphalangeal joints, first carpometacarpal joints, and first metatarsophalangeal joints are excluded from
assessment. Categories of joint distribution are classified according to the location and number of involved joints, with 
placement into the highest category possible based on the pattern of joint involvement.
e
"Large joints" refers to shoulders, elbows, hips, knees, and ankles.
f
"Small joints" refers to the metacarpophalangeal joints, proximal interphalangeal joints, second through 
fifth metatarsophalangeal joints, thumb interphalangeal joints, and wrists.
g
In this category, at least 1 of the involved joints must be a small joint; the other joints can include any combination of large 
and additional small joints, as well as other joints not specifically listed elsewhere (eg, temporomandibular, 
acromioclavicular, sternoclavicular).

h
Negative refers to IU values that are less than or equal to the upper limit of normal (ULN) for the laboratory and assay; 
low-positive refers to IU values that are higher than the ULN but ≤3 times the ULN for the laboratory and assay; 
high-positive refers to IU values that are >3 times the ULN for the laboratory and assay. Where rheumatoid factor (RF) 
information is only available as positive or negative, a positive result should be scored as low-positive for RF. 
ACPA = anti-citrullinated protein antibody.
i
Normal/abnormal is determined by local laboratory standards. CRP = C-reactive protein; ESR = erythrocyte sedimentation 
rate.
j
Duration of symptoms refers to patient self-report of the duration of signs or symptoms of synovitis (eg, pain, swelling, 
tenderness) of joints that are clinically involved at the time of assessment, regardless of treatment status.

American College of Rheumatology Response Evaluations/ 
Preliminary Definition of Improvement in Rheumatoid Arthritis 
{Felson et al 1995}
ACR 20 Required
≥20% improvement in tender joint count,  AND
≥20% improvement in swollen joint count, AND
≥20% improvement in at least 3 of the following 5 items:

Patient pain assessment

Patient global assessment of disease activity

Physician global assessment of disease activity

Patient’s assessment of physical function (HAQ-DI)

Acute-phase reactant (CRP)
The following lists the disease activity measure followed by the method of assessment
1.
Tender joint count
ACR tender joint count is an assessment of 68. The joint count should be done by scoring several 
different aspects of tenderness, as assessed by pressure and joint manipulation on physical 
examination. The information on various types of tenderness should then be collapsed into a 
single tender-versus-nontender dichotomy.
2.
Swollen joint count
ACR swollen joint count is an assessment of 66. Joints are classified as either swollen or not 
swollen.
3.
Patient’s assessment of pain
The pain score from the HAQ-DI will be used to calculate ACR response.

Patient’s global assessment of disease activity
A horizontal, visual analog scale will be used to provide the patient’s overall assessment of how 
the arthritis is doing.
Place a mark on the line below to indicate how you assess your current rheumatoid 
arthritis disease activity:
   No arthritis
Severe arthritis
5.
Physician’s global assessment of disease activity
A horizontal visual analog scale will be used to measure the physician’s assessment of the 
patient’s current disease activity.
Place a mark on the line below to indicate RA disease activity (independent of the subject’s 
self-assessment):
No Disease Activity                                                                                 Maximum Disease Activity

Disease Activity Score (DAS28) {Prevoo et al 1995}
Assessments of RA in patients by the Disease Activity Score (modified to include the 28 joint 
counts according to Smolen* 1995) will be conducted at the measured timepoints. The DAS28 
consists of a composite score of the following variables: tender joint count, swollen joint count, 
CRP, and patient global score. The following equation will be used to calculate the DAS28-CRP

DAS28(CRP) 0.56 √TJC28 0.28√SJC28 0.36ln(CRP 1) 0.014(patients global VAS) 
0.96

TJC28 = number of joints tender out of 28

SJC28 = number of joints swollen out of 28

CRP = C-reactive protein


Procedures and Specifications 
Complete Physical Examination
A complete physical examination should include source documentation of general appearance, 
and the following body systems: Head, neck and thyroid; eyes, ears, nose, throat, mouth and 
tongue; chest (excluding breasts); respiratory; cardiovascular; lymph nodes; abdomen; skin, hair, 
nails; musculoskeletal; and neurological. 
Blood Pressure
Assessment of vital signs will include measurement of resting blood pressure, pulse, respiratory 
rate, and temperature.
Blood pressure will be measured using the following standardized process:

Subject should be resting for 5 minutes with feet flat on the floor and measurement arm 
supported so that the midpoint of the manometer cuff is at heart level;

Use a mercury sphygmomanometer or automatic blood pressure device with an appropriately 
sized cuff with the bladder centered over the brachial artery;

Measure and record the blood pressure to the nearest 2 mmHg mark on the manometer or to
the nearest whole number on an automatic device.
Creatinine Clearance 
Creatinine clearance is calculated by the Cockcroft-Gault equation {Cockcroft et al 1976} using 
actual body weight (BW). 
Male:
CLcr (mL/min) = [140 - age (years)] BW(kg)
72 Scr
Female:
CLcr (mL/min) = [140 - age (years)] BW(kg) 0.85
72 Scr
Scr = serum creatinine (mg/dL)
12-Lead ECG
Subjects should be resting in a supine position for 5 minutes prior to making a recording.
The investigator (or qualified designee) should review the ECG traces recorded in real time for 
clinically significant abnormalities.  On treatment ECGs should be compared to the subject’s 
Screening ECG as part of routine safety monitoring.

INTRODUCTION
This statistical analysis plan (SAP) describes the statistical analysis methods and data 
presentations to be used in tables, figures, and listings (TFLs) in the clinical study report (CSR) 
for Study GS-US-417-0301. This SAP is based on the study protocol Amendment 1 dated
05 July 2016 and the electronic case report form (eCRF). The SAP will be finalized before the 
unblinding of Week 24 analysis. Any changes made after the finalization of the SAP will be 
documented in the CSR.
1.1.
Study Objectives
The primary objective of this study is as follows:

To evaluate the effects of filgotinib versus placebo for the treatment of signs and symptoms 
of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) as measured by the proportion of subjects achieving an 
American College of Rheumatology 20% improvement response (ACR20) at Week 12
The secondary objectives of this study are as follows:


The exploratory objectives of this study are as follows:
1.2.
Study Design
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo- and active-controlled, Phase 3 study in adult male 
and female subjects with active RA who have an inadequate response to MTX (MTX-IR). The 
study is designed to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of filgotinib as well as its effect 
on work productivity, fatigue, and quality of life.
Approximately 1650 subjects will be randomized in a 3:3:2:3 ratio to filgotinib 200 mg, 
filgotinib 100 mg, active comparator (adalimumab), or placebo to match (PTM) administered for 
up to 52 weeks, all in the context of a weekly stable dose of MTX:

Filgotinib 200 mg group: filgotinib (200 mg q.d.) + PTM filgotinib 100 mg (PTM q.d.) + 
PTM adalimumab (PTM s.c. injection q2w)  (N=450)

Filgotinib 100 mg group: filgotinib (100 mg q.d.) + PTM filgotinib 200 mg (PTM q.d.) + 
PTM adalimumab (PTM s.c. injection q2w) (N=450)

Active comparator group: PTM filgotinib 200 mg (PTM q.d.) + PTM filgotinib 100 mg
(PTM q.d.) + adalimumab (40 mg s.c. injection q2w) (N=300)

Placebo control group: PTM filgotinib 200 mg (PTM q.d.) + PTM filgotinib 100 mg
(PTM q.d.) + PTM adalimumab (PTM s.c. injection q2w) (N=450)
Randomization will be stratified by geographic region, prior exposure to biologic disease 
modifying antirheumatic drugs (bDMARDs), and presence of rheumatoid factor (RF) or 
anti-CCP (cyclic citrullinated peptide) antibody (Ab) at screening.
At Week 14, subjects who have not achieved at least 20% improvement from Baseline in both 
swollen joint count (SJC) and tender joint count (TJC) will discontinue investigational study 
drug dosing but will continue with study visits and assessments per protocol. All subjects 
meeting this criterion who discontinue from investigational therapy are to receive standard of 
care treatment for their RA as determined by the investigator. 
At Week 24, all subjects assigned to placebo + MTX will be reassigned 1:1 to either filgotinib 
100 mg q.d. or 200 mg q.d. in addition to MTX in a blinded fashion and will continue in the 
study per protocol up to Week 52.

All subjects who continue on study drug will be evaluated for loss of therapeutic response from 
Week 30 through Week 52. Subjects failing to maintain at least a 20% improvement from 
Baseline in TJC and SJC, (which is confirmed at 2 consecutive visits), will discontinue from
investigational study drug therapy but will continue with study visits and assessments per 
protocol. All subjects meeting this criterion who discontinue from investigational study drug 
dosing are to receive standard of care treatment for their RA as determined by the investigator.
All subjects who have received at least one dose of study drug and exit the study early will 
complete an early termination (ET) visit at the time of study discontinuation, with a follow up 
visit four weeks after the last dose of study drug (Post Treatment Week 4), regardless of dosing
duration.
At completion of the 52-week dosing period, subjects who have not discontinued assigned study 
drug dosing, will be provided the option to enroll into a separate Long Term Extension (LTE) 
study (GS-US-417-0304).

Sample Size and Power
Sample size is determined based on the superiority test of filgotinib 200 mg compared to placebo 
based on the change from Baseline in mTSS at Week 24. When assuming a difference of 
0.4 between filgotinib and placebo on change from Baseline in mTSS at Week 24 and a common 
standard deviation of 1.85, 450 subjects in each of the filgotinib 200 mg group and placebo 
control group are required to obtain 90% power at a 2-sided 0.05-level.
A sample size of 450 subjects in each of the filgotinib groups and placebo control group will 
provide over 95% power to detect an increase in ACR20 response rate of 45% to 65% between 
the placebo control group and the filgotinib group respectively, using a 2-sided 0.05-level test.

Based on {Liu 2014}, 450 subjects in each of the filgotinib 200 mg group and placebo group, 
and 300 subjects in the adalimumab group, will provide over 90% power at 2-sided 
0.05 significance level to demonstrate that filgotinib 200 mg preserves more than 50% of the
effect of adalimumab with respect to the response rate of DAS28(CRP) ≤3.2 at Week 12, 
assuming both filgotinib 200 mg and adalimumab groups have similar response rates of 
DAS28(CRP) ≤3.2. Given this study has a placebo group, assay sensitivity can be established 
through a direct comparison of adalimumab to placebo.
In summary, the total planned sample size will be 1650 (450 for the filgotinib 200 mg, filgotinib 
100 mg, placebo groups, and 300 for the active comparator group).

TYPE OF PLANNED ANALYSIS
2.1.
Data Monitoring Committee Analyses
An external multidisciplinary Data Monitoring Committee (DMC) will review the progress of 
the study and perform interim reviews of safety data in order to protect subject welfare and 
preserve study integrity. To ensure the best interests of the participants, the DMC will 
recommend to the sponsor if the nature, frequency, and severity of adverse effects associated 
with the study treatment warrant the early termination of the study, the continuation of the study, 
or the continuation of the study with modifications.
The initial review has been conducted after approximately 100 subjects have completed at least 
12 weeks of dosing in any one of the three RA phase 3 studies (GS-US-417-0301, 
GS-US-417-0302, and GS-US-417-0303). Regular DMC review of safety data will be scheduled 
approximately every 6 months following the initial data review meeting including all 3 RA phase 
3 studies and a long-term extension study (GS-US-417-0304).
The DMC’s role and responsibilities and the scope of analysis to be provided to the DMC are 
provided in a mutually agreed upon charter, which defines the DMC membership, meeting 
logistics, and meeting frequency.
2.2.
Week 24 Analysis
A planned Week 24 analysis will be conducted after all subjects have either completed their 
Week 24 visit or prematurely discontinued from the study. A pre-specified sponsor team 
including members of which are not actively involved in the conduct of the study, will review 
the Week 24 unblinded safety and efficacy analysis results. A memo and a list will be maintained 
which documents the individuals who have been granted access to the Week 24 unblinded results 
along with the justification for unblinding in accordance with Gilead SOPs. A data integrity and 
communication plan for the pre-specified Week 24 analysis will be finalized prior to 
unblinding. The Study Management Team members with direct involvement in the conduct of 
the study will either be replaced if they need to be unblinded, or remain blinded to treatment 
assignments throughout the trial, until all subjects have completed the planned study Week 52 
visits and the database has been locked.
2.3.
Final Analysis
After all subjects have completed the study, outstanding data queries have been resolved or 
adjudicated as unresolvable, and the data have been cleaned and finalized, the study blind will be 
broken and the final analysis of the data will be performed.

Multiple Comparisons
The primary endpoint for the study is the proportion of subjects who achieve an ACR20 response
at Week 12. The primary analyses will consist of a superiority test of filgotinib 200 mg
compared to placebo based on the ACR20 response rate at Week 12. 
The following hypothesis testing for secondary analyses will commence after the primary 
analysis reaches statistical significance, and will be tested according to the hierarchical testing 
principle at the 2-sided 0.05 level. If a null hypothesis is not rejected, formal sequential testing 
will be stopped and only nominal significance will be reported for the remaining hypotheses:
1) Superiority of filgotinib 100 mg compared to placebo based on ACR20 response rate at 
Week 12
2) Superiority of filgotinib 200 mg compared to placebo based on the change from Baseline in

Outliers
Outliers will be identified during the data management and data analysis process, but no 
sensitivity analyses will be conducted. All data will be included in the data analyses.
3.7.
Data Handling Conventions and Transformations
In general, age (in years) on the date of the first dose of study drug will be used for analyses and 
presentation in listings. If an enrolled subject was not dosed with any study drug, the 
randomization date will be used instead of the first dosing date of study drug. For screen failures, 
the date the last informed consent was signed will be used for age calculation. If only birth year 
is collected on the CRF, “01 July” will be used for the unknown birth day and month for the 
purpose of age calculation. If only birth year and month are collected, “01” will be used for the 
unknown birth day.
Non-PK Data that are continuous in nature but are less than the lower limit of quantitation
(LOQ) or above the upper LOQ will be imputed as follows:

A value that is 1 unit less than the LOQ will be used to calculate descriptive statistics if the 
datum is reported in the form of “x” (where x is considered the LOQ). For example, if the 
values are reported as < 50 and < 5.0, values of 49 and 4.9, respectively, will be used to 
calculate summary statistics. An exception to this rule is any value reported as < 1 or < 0.1, 
etc. For values reported as < 1 or < 0.1, a value of 0.9 or 0.09, respectively, will be used for 
calculate summary statistics.

A value that is 1 unit above the LOQ will be used to calculate descriptive statistics if the 
datum is reported in the form of “> x” (where x is considered the LOQ). Values with decimal 
points will follow the same logic as above.

The LOQ will be used to calculate descriptive statistics if the datum is reported in the form of 
“≤ x” or “≥ x” (where x is considered the LOQ).
Natural logarithm transformation will be used for plasma/blood concentrations and analysis of 
PK parameters. Plasma concentration values that are below the limit of quantitation (BLQ) will 
be presented as “BLQ” in the concentration data listing. Values that are BLQ will be treated as 
0 at predose time points, and one-half the value of the LOQ at postbaseline time points.
The following conventions will be used for the presentation of summary and order statistics:

If at least 1 subject has a concentration value of BLQ for the time point, the minimum value 
will be displayed as “BLQ.”

If more than 25% of the subjects have a concentration data value of BLQ for a given time 
point, the minimum and Q1 values will be displayed as “BLQ.”

If more than 50% of the subjects have a concentration data value of BLQ for a given time 
point, the minimum, Q1, and median values will be displayed as “BLQ.”


If more than 75% of the subjects have a concentration data value of BLQ for a given time 
point, the minimum, Q1, median, and Q3 values will be displayed as “BLQ.”

If all subjects have concentration data values of BLQ for a given time point, all order 
statistics (minimum, Q1, median, Q3, and maximum) will be displayed as “BLQ.”
PK parameters that are BLQ will be imputed as one-half LOQ before log transformation or 
statistical model fitting.

Definition of Study Day
The first dose date of individual study drug will be calculated separately for each study drug
(ie, filgotinib 200mg, filgotinib 100mg, adalimumab and PTMs) in a treatment group. Study 
Day 1 is defined as the first dose date of any study drug, which is the minimum of the first dose 
dates of individual study drugs in a treatment group.
The last dose date of individual study drug will be calculated separately for each study drug in a 
treatment group. The last dose date for an individual study drug will be the end date on study 
drug administration CRF for the record where the “study drug was permanently withdrawn” flag 
is “Yes”. The last dose date of any study drug will be defined as the maximum of the last dose 
dates of individual study drugs in a treatment group.
Study Day will be calculated from the Study Day 1 and derived as follows:

For postdose study days: Assessment Date – Study Day 1 + 1

For days prior to the first dose: Assessment Date – Study Day 1
For subjects who were on placebo and then re-randomized, the On-Filgotinib Study Day 1 is 
defined as the first dose date of filgotinib which is identified by the first dispense date of
filgotinib. The On-Filgotinib Study Day will be calculated from the On-Filgotinib Study Day 1 
and derived as follows:

For postdose study days of filgotinib: Assessment Date – On-Filgotinib Study Day 1 + 1

For days prior to the first dose of filgotinib: Assessment Date – On-Filgotinib Study Day 1

In general, the baseline value will be the last nonmissing value on or prior to the first dose date 
of study drug, except for the mTSS baseline value. The mTSS baseline value will be derived 
based on the measurements collected on or prior to the first dose date of study drug + 14 days 
given the potential delay in scheduling an x-ray assessment. If multiple valid, nonmissing 
measurements exist in the analysis window as aforementioned, in general, the last nonmissing 
mTSS value on or prior to the first dose date of study drug will be selected as the baseline value; 
If all these multiple measurements occur at post first dosing, the value closest to the first dose 
date will be selected as the baseline value.
For subjects who were on placebo and then re-randomized, the baseline after Week 24 will be 
the last nonmissing value obtained on or prior to the first dose date of filgotinib, except for the
mTSS baseline value. The mTSS baseline value will be derived based on the measurements 
collected on or prior to the first dose date of filgotinib + 14 days given the potential delay in 
scheduling an x-ray assessment. If multiple valid, nonmissing measurements exist in the 
analysis window as aforementioned, in general, the last nonmissing mTSS value on or prior to 
the first dose date of filgotinib will be selected as the baseline value; If all these multiple 
measurements occur at post first dosing of filgotinib, the value closest to the first dose date of 
filgotinib will be selected as the baseline value.
For efficacy endpoints, vital signs, ECG, weight, lipids and safety laboratory data, the analysis 
visit windows will be applied to data collected during the ‘on-treatment’ period. The ‘on-
treatment’ period is defined as the last dose date of any study drug + 7 days.
The analysis windows for on-treatment efficacy endpoints including joint count assessment, 
HAQ-DI (including subject’s pain assessment), subject’s global assessment (SGA), physician’s 
global assessment (PGA), serum CRP , exploratory patient reported outcome (PRO), and vital 
signs, weight, and safety laboratory data (lipid data excluded) are provided in Table 3-1 and

Vital signs, weight, ECG, lipids and safety laboratory data collected in the post-treatment 
follow-up period will also be summarized. The analysis window for the post-treatment follow-up 
period is defined as from (the last dose date of any study drug + 8 days) to (the last dose date of 
any study drug + 30 days). If multiple valid, nonmissing measurements exist in the 
post-treatment follow-up visit window, then the latest record will be selected for analysis. If the 
chronological order cannot be determined (eg, more than 1 record on the same day with time 
missing), for any given subject, the value with the worst severity will be selected for categorical 
variable, and the average will be taken for continuous variable. Data obtained after last dose date 
plus 30 days will be excluded from the summaries, but will be included in the listings.
For efficacy endpoints, the same analysis visit windows will be applied to all available data 
collected during standard of care.

3.8.3.
Selection of Non-Efficacy Data in the Event of Multiple Records in an 
Analysis Visit Window
Depending on the statistical analysis method, single values may be required for each analysis 
window. For example, change from baseline by visit usually requires a single value, whereas a 
time-to-event analysis would not require 1 value per analysis window.
If multiple valid, nonmissing, continuous measurements exist in an analysis window, 
records will be chosen based on the following rules if a single value is needed:

In general, the baseline value will be the last nonmissing value on or prior to the first dose 
date of study drug, unless otherwise specified. If multiple measurements occur on the same 
day, the last nonmissing value prior to the time of first dose of study drug will be considered 
as the baseline value. If these multiple measurements occur at the same time or the time is 
not available, the average of these measurements (for continuous data) will be considered the 
baseline value.

For postbaseline visits:
The record closest to the nominal day for that visit will be selected.
If there are 2 records that are equidistant from the nominal day, the later record will be 
selected.
If there is more than 1 record on the selected day, the average will be taken, 
unless otherwise specified.
If multiple valid, nonmissing, categorical measurements exist in an analysis window, 
records will be chosen based on the following rules if a single value is needed:

For baseline, the last available record on or prior to the date of the first dose of study drug
will be selected. If there are multiple records with the same time or no time recorded on the 
same day, the value with the lowest severity will be selected (eg, normal will be selected over 
abnormal for safety ECG findings).

For postbaseline visits:
The record closest to the nominal day for that visit will be selected.
If there are 2 records that are equidistant from the nominal day, the later record will be 
selected.
If there is more than 1 record on the selected day, the value with the worst severity will 
be selected (eg, abnormal will be selected over normal for safety ECG findings), 
unless otherwise specified.
The rules for selecting efficacy data in the event of multiple records in an analysis visit window 
are specified in Section 6.1.

SUBJECT DISPOSITION
4.1.
Subject Enrollment and Disposition
A summary of subject enrollment will be provided by treatment group for each country within 
each geographic region and investigator within a country. The summary will present the number 
and percentage of subjects enrolled. For each column, the denominator for the percentage 
calculation will be the total number of subjects analyzed for that column.
A similar enrollment table will be provided by stratification factor stratum. The denominator for 
the percentage of subjects in the stratum will be the total number of enrolled subjects. If there are 
discrepancies in the value used for stratification assignment between the IWRS and the clinical 
database, the value collected in the clinical database will be used for the summary. A listing of 
subjects with discrepancies in the value used for stratification assignment between the IWRS and 
the clinical database at the time of data finalization will be provided.
The randomization schedule used for the study will be provided in a listing and as an appendix to 
the CSR.
A summary of subject disposition will be provided by treatment group . This summary will 
present the number of subjects screened, the number of subjects not randomized, the number of 
subjects who met all eligibility criteria but were not randomized with reasons subjects were not 
randomized, the number of subjects randomized, and the number of subjects in each of the

For the status of study drug and study completion and reasons for premature discontinuation, the 
number and percentage of subjects in each category will be provided. The denominator for the 
percentage calculation will be the total number of subjects in the Safety Analysis Set 
corresponding to that column. 
For subjects who were on placebo, they will be considered as completed Week 24 study drug if 
they were re-randomized. For subjects who were on placebo but were not re-randomized, and 
subjects who remained on the same treatment, they will be considered as completed Week 24 
study drug if (last dose date – Study Day 1 + 1) ≥ 156. Otherwise subjects will be considered as 
not completed Week 24 study drug.
The following by-subject listings will be provided by subject ID number in ascending order to 
support the above summary tables:

Reasons for premature study drug or study discontinuation

Reasons for screen failure (will be provided by screening ID number in ascending order)


4.2.
Extent of Study Drug Exposure and Adherence
Extent of exposure to study drug will be examined by assessing the total duration of exposure to 
study drug and the level of adherence to the study drug specified in the protocol.
4.2.1.
Duration of Exposure to Study Drug
Total duration of exposure to any study drug will be defined as (last dose date of any study drug 
- first dose date of any study drug + 1), regardless of any temporary interruptions in study drug 
administration and will be expressed in weeks using up to 1 decimal place (eg, 4.5 weeks). 
For subjects with a partial last dosing date (ie, month and year of last dose are known), the latest 
of the dispensing dates of study drug bottles, study drug start dates and end dates, and the 
imputed last dose date [day imputed as 15] will be used as the final imputed last  dose date. If the 
subject died and the death date is complete (ie, not partial date) and before the imputed last dose 
date, the complete death date will be used as the imputed last dose date.


Filgotinib

If only year is recorded (ie, month and day of last dose are missing), the latest of the dispensing 
month of study drug bottles, study drug start month, and study drug end month will be used to 
impute the unknown last dose month. If the subject died and the death date has month and year 
available and before the imputed last dose month, then the month of death will be used instead. 
With the month imputed, the aforementioned method will be used to impute the last dose date.
If subjects are continuing on study drug at Week 24 analysis, the earliest of the date of death or 
data cutoff date for analysis will be used to impute the last dosing date for the calculation of 
duration of exposure to study drug.
The total duration of exposure to any study drug will be summarized using descriptive statistics 
and using the number (ie, cumulative counts) and percentage of subjects exposed through the 
following time periods: Baseline (Day 1), Week 2 (Day 15), Week 4 (Day 29), Week 8 (Day 57), 
Week 12 (Day 85), Week 14 (Day 99),  Week 16 (Day 113), Week 20 (Day 141), Week 24 (Day 
169), Week 26 (Day 183), Week 30 (Day 211), Week 36 (Day 253), Week 44 (Day 309) and 
Week 52 (Day 365). A 7-day window is applied to the last planned on-treatment visit to match 
the protocol-specified visit window
Summaries will be provided by treatment group for the Safety Analysis Set. No formal statistical 
testing is planned.
4.2.2.
Adherence to Study Drug
Adherence will be calculated separately for filgotinib 200 mg/PTM (tablets), filgotinib 
100 mg/PTM (tablets) and adalimumab/PTM (syringes).
The total number of tablets or syringes administered will be summarized using descriptive 
statistics. 
The presumed total number of tablets or syringes administered to a subject will be determined by 
the data collected on the drug accountability CRF using the following formula:
Total Number of Tablets Administered = 
(Σ No. of Tablets Dispensed) - (Σ No. of Tablets Returned)
Total Number of Syringes Administered = 
(Σ No. of Syringes Dispensed) - (Σ No. of Syringes Returned)
If a bottle or a packaging kit is dispensed and the bottle or packaging kit is returned empty, then 
the number of tablets/syringes returned will be entered as zero. If a bottle or a packaging kit is 
dispensed but not returned (missing), then the number of tablets/syringes returned will be 
counted as zero.

4.2.2.1.
On-Treatment Adherence
The level of on-treatment adherence to the study drug will be determined by the total amount of 
study drug administered relative to the total amount of study drug expected to be administered 
during a subject’s actual on-treatment period based on the study drug regimen.
The level of on-treatment adherence will be expressed as a percentage using the following 
formula:
Total Amount of Study Drug Administered
On-Treatment Adherence (%) = 
 x 100
Study Drug Expected to be Administered on Treatment






Note: If calculated adherence is greater than 100%, the result will be set to 100%.
Study drug expected to be administered for filgotinib 200 mg/PTM (tablets) = 1× total duration 
of exposure to any study drug (days).
Study drug expected to be administered for filgotinib 100 mg/PTM (tablets) = 1× total duration 
of exposure to any study drug (days).
Study drug expected to be administered for adalimumab/PTM (syringes) = ceil[total duration of 
exposure to any study drug (days) /14].
For subjects in placebo group who were re-randomized, the switched study drug expected to be 
administered is defined as:
Study drug expected to be administered for PTM (tablets) = 1 × ((first dose date of filgotinib – 1 
– first dose date of any study drug) + 1).

EFFICACY ANALYSES
6.1.
General Considerations
The primary analysis set for efficacy analyses will be the FAS, defined in Section 3.1.2.
Efficacy analysis will generally be conducted on the following 2 datasets:
1) On-treatment data as specified in Section 3.8.2 with exclusion of the observations described 
as the following. This is the primary analysis dataset for efficacy analysis.

For subjects who continued study drug BUT did not achieve at least 20% improvement 
from Baseline in both SJC66 and TJC68 at
Nominal Week 14 visit, then efficacy data collected after nominal Week 14 visit will 
be excluded from the primary analysis, OR
Nominal Week 12 visit if subjects missed Week 14 visit or the response status cannot 
be determined due to missing SJC66 or TJC68 value at Week 14, then efficacy data 
collected after nominal Week 16 visit will be excluded from the primary analysis, OR
Nominal Week 16 visit if subjects missed both Week 12 and Week 14 visits or the 
response status cannot be determined due to missing SJC66 or TJC68 value at both 
Week 12 and Week 14 visits, then efficacy data collected after nominal Week 16 visit
will be excluded from the primary analysis
If subjects missed all three visits (Week 12, Week 14 and Week 16) or the response status 
cannot be determined at all of these three visits, all the efficacy data collected will be 
included for analysis

Subjects who continued on study drug will be evaluated for loss of therapeutic response 
from nominal Week 30 visit through nominal Week 52 visit. For subjects who failed to 
maintain at least a 20% improvement from Baseline in SJC66 and TJC68 (which is 
confirmed at 2 consecutive visits, and a missed visit will not count against them), efficacy 
data collected after the second consecutive visit will be excluded from the primary 
analyses.
2) All available data (including data collected under standard of care). 
Estimands: 
Two efficacy estimands, composite estimand and treatment policy estimand are defined for the 
primary and key secondary efficacy endpoints, respectively.


Filgotinib
GS-US-417-0301
Statistical Analysis Plan – Week 24 Analysis and Final Analysis
Version 1.0 
CONFIDENTIAL
Page 39
05 February 2019
The Composite Estimand is defined as following. This is the primary estimand for efficacy 
endpoints.
1) Population: Subjects in the FAS.
2) Variable: Primary and key secondary endpoints as well as some other secondary endpoints 
(see details in Section 6.2, 6.3 and 6.4)
3) Intercurrent events: The following intercurrent events are taken into account:

If a subject takes standard of care medications due to inadequate response or discontinues
from study treatment, treat data as missing from the point of inadequate response or study 
drug discontinuation (ie, on-treatment data defined above).

If a subject discontinues from the study, treat data as missing from the point of loss to 
follow-up onward.
4) Population-level summary: proportion difference for binary efficacy endpoints or mean 
difference in change from baseline for continuous efficacy endpoints between each filgotinib 
group and placebo group or adalimumab group if applicable.
The Treatment-Policy Estimand is defined as following. This is the secondary estimand for 
efficacy endpoints.
1) Population: Subjects in the FAS.
2) Variable: Primary and key secondary endpoints as well as some other secondary endpoints
(see details in Section 6.2, 6.3 and 6.4)
3) Intercurrent events: The occurrence of an intercurrent event is irrelevant. All observed values 
will be used regardless of occurrence of an intercurrent event.

All observed values will be used regardless of occurrence of an intercurrent event (ie, All 
available data defined above).

If a subject discontinues from the study, treat data as missing from the point of loss to 
follow-up onward.
4) Population-level summary: Proportion difference for binary efficacy endpoint or mean 
difference in change from baseline for continuous efficacy endpoints between each filgotinib 
group and placebo group or adalimumab group if applicable.
The other secondary endpoints specified in both estimands include ACR50, ACR70, and the 
individual components of the ACR response.

Version 1.0 
CONFIDENTIAL
Page 40
05 February 2019
To handle the missing data caused by the intercurrent events, the following analyses will be 
performed for both estimands:

For binary endpoints, missing data will be treated as non-responder for the primary 
analysis. Sensitivity analyses including observed data only, last observation carry forward 
(LOCF), multiple imputation, and tipping point methods will be applied.

For continuous endpoints, missing data will be handled using a mixed-effects model for 
the primary analysis. Sensitivity analyses, including using multiple imputation and 
tipping point methods, will be applied.
In addition, analyses will be performed for the primary and key secondary endpoints by 
replacing the population in both estimands with the Per-Protocol analysis set as defined in 
Section 3.1.3. For these analyses, the binary missing data will be imputed as non-responder and 
the continuous missing data will be handled using a mixed-effects model.
Selection of Efficacy Data in the Event of Multiple Records in an Analysis Visit Window
If multiple valid, nonmissing efficacy measurements exist in an analysis window, records will be 
chosen based on the following rules if a single value is needed:

The record closest to the nominal day for that visit will be selected

If there are 2 records that are equidistant from the nominal day, or more than 1 record (with 
time known) on the selected day, the latest record will be taken

If chronological order cannot be determined (eg, more than 1 record on the same day with 
time missing), for any given subject, the worst outcome will be selected.
Calculation of Composite Endpoints
For the calculation of composite endpoints including DAS28(CRP), ACR20/50/70, ACR-N, 
SDAI, and CDAI, we use the following steps unless otherwise specified:

Step 1: Assign individual components to analysis visit windows defined in Section 3.8.2

Step 2: Within each analysis visit window, select the component-level data based on the rules 
for selecting efficacy data as above

Step 3: Calculate the composite endpoint based on the selected component-level data in 
Step 2.

Missing Data Imputation
Below are the descriptions for the imputation methods that will be used throughout the efficacy 
analyses:

Observed case (OC): Missing values remain missing. For the categorical composite 
endpoints, in the case that some components are missing, the composite endpoint assessment 
will be derived based on the non-missing components. If non-missing components are not 
sufficient to determine final composite endpoint, then the composite endpoint will be set as 
missing. For continuous composite endpoints (including ACR-N), if any components are 
missing, the composite endpoints will be set as missing.

Last observation carried forward (LOCF): Baseline measurements will not be carried forward 
to postbaseline. Only postbaseline measurements will be LOCF. For the composite 
endpoints, the last nonmissing postbaseline observation will be carried forward to subsequent 
visits for each individual component first, and then calculate the composite endpoints using 
individual components imputed by LOCF as described above. If a subject does not have a 
nonmissing observed record for a postbaseline visit, the last postbaseline record prior to the 
missed visit will be used for this postbaseline visit. If the last nonmissing observation prior to 
the missing visits cannot be determined due to multiple measurements occurring at the same 
time or the time not available within the same day, the worst outcome will be used for LOCF. 
If missing components still exist after LOCF, the composite endpoints will be calculated 
using the same rules as described in OC.

Non-responder imputation (NRI): For all binary response measurements, starting from OC, 
all missings will be set as non-responders.
If a subject only has baseline measurements, LOCF and OC analyses will not include this 
subject.  But this subject will be treated as non-responder in NRI analyses.
6.1.1.
Tender/Swollen Joint Counts (TJC/SJC)
Tender joint count based on 68 joints (TJC68) and swollen joint count based on 66 joints
(SJC66) will be collected during the course of the study. The assessment for each joint will be 
from the following selections: Tender Only, Swollen Only, Tender and Swollen, Joint Non-
Evaluable or Missing, or Not Tender or Swollen.
Individual joint with missing assessment will not be imputed. If at least half of the joints are 
assessed at a given visit, the prorated tender and swollen joint counts will be calculated using the 
following formula:
68 =

If less than half of joints are assessed at a given visit, joint counts are treated as missing for that 
visit.
A more abbreviated assessment considering 28 joints as listed in Table 6-1 for both tenderness 
and swelling will also be conducted (as part of the TJC68 and SJC66 assessment), denoted as 
TJC28 and SJC28, respectively.

If less than half of the 28 joints are assessed at a given visit, TJC28 and SJC28 are treated as 
missing for that visit.
6.1.2.
Global Assessment of Disease Activity
Subject’s Global Assessment of Disease Activity (SGA) and Physician’s Global Assessment of 
Disease Activity (PGA) based on a 0-100 mm visual analog scale (VAS) will be recorded during 
the study, with 0 indicating “no disease activity” and 100 indicating “maximum disease activity” 
(or similar description of disease severity).

6.1.3.
Health Assessment Questionnaire Disability Index (HAQ-DI)
The HAQ-DI score is defined as the average of the scores of eight functional categories (dressing 
and grooming, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip, and other activities), administered
by the subject. Responses in each functional category are collected as: without any difficulty; 
with some difficulty; with much difficulty; unable to do a task in that area and with or without 
aids or devices. The HAQ-DI score ranges from 0 (no disability) to 3 (completely disabled),
when 6 or more categories are non-missing. Detailed algorithm for calculating HAQ-DI score is 
described in Appendix 2.
HAQ-DI also includes a separate pain assessment and subject will be requested to mark the 
severity of the pain in the past week on a 0-100 mm VAS, with 0 indicating “no pain” and 
100 indicating “severe pain”.
6.2.
Primary Efficacy Endpoint
The primary efficacy endpoint is the proportion of subjects who achieve ACR20 response at 
Week 12.
6.2.1.
Definition of the Primary Efficacy Endpoint
A subject achieves ACR20 response when this subject has

≥ 20% improvement from baseline in TJC68, AND

≥ 20% improvement from baseline in SJC66, AND

≥ 20% improvement from baseline in at least 3 of the following 5 items:
1) PGA
2) SGA
3) Subject’s pain assessment
4) HAQ-DI score
5) hsCRP
Percent improvement from baseline at a postbaseline visit is calculated as follows for all 
7 components mentioned above:
% improvement = baseline value - postbaseline value
baseline value
× 100
If the baseline value is 0 then the percent improvement from baseline is set to missing.

In the case that some ACR20 components are missing, the ACR20 assessment will be based on 
the non-missing components.  If non-missing components are not sufficient to determine ACR20 
response, then the ACR20 response will be considered as missing.
6.2.2.
Statistical Hypothesis for the Primary Efficacy Endpoint
In the primary analysis, the ACR20 response rate at Week 12 in the filgotinib 200 mg group will 
be compared to placebo group for a superiority test at the 2-sided 0.05-level.  If we denote the 
ACR20 response rate at Week 12 in the filgotinib 200 mg group and placebo group as P1 and  P2, 
respectively, the null and alternative hypotheses for the superiority test on the primary efficacy 
endpoint are as follows:
H0: P1 = P2
vs
H1: P1 ≠ P2
6.2.3.
Primary Analysis of the Primary Efficacy Endpoint
To test for superiority of filgotinib 200 mg group versus placebo control group in proportion of 
subjects who achieve ACR20 at Week 12, a logistic regression analysis with treatment groups 
and stratification factors in the model will be used. The model will include all treatment groups. 
Subjects who do not have sufficient measurements to establish efficacy at Week 12 will be 
considered as failures (ie, NRI).  The p-value from the logistic regression model for testing the 
superiority of filgotinib 200 mg as compared to placebo will be provided. The 2-sided 
95% confidence interval (CI) of the ACR20 response rate at Week 12 based on normal 
approximation with the sample variance will be provided for each treatment group. In addition, 
non-stratified ACR20 response rate difference along with its 95% CI calculated based on the 
normal approximation with the pooled sample variance will be provided. Appendix 8 provides 
samples SAS model statements for constructing the confidence interval for the proportion.
The comparisons of filgotinib 100 mg groups versus placebo group in the proportion of subjects 
achieving ACR20 at Week 12 will also be conducted with the similar logistic regression model 
with NRI as aforementioned.
The number and percentage of ACR20 non-responders observed and non-responders due to 
missing at Week 12 will also be summarized respectively by treatment.
For subjects with observed ACR20 outcomes (ie, responders and observed non-responders) at 
Week 12, actual values and change from Baseline at Week 12 in individual components, 
including TJC68, SJC66, SGA, PGA, Subject’s pain assessment, hsCRP, will be summarized 
using descriptive statistics (sample size, mean, SD, median, Q1, Q3, minimum, and maximum) 
by treatment.

The proportions of subjects achieving ACR20 (using NRI) will be plotted over time from 
Baseline through Week 24 by treatment and by visit.

Sensitivity Analysis of the Primary Endpoint
Sensitivity analyses of the primary efficacy endpoint will be performed.
6.2.4.1.
Per-protocol Analyses
To evaluate the impact of study conduct on the primary analysis, the proportion of subjects who 
achieve ACR20 at Week 12 will be analyzed based on the PP Analysis Set as defined in
Section 3.1.3 using the logistic regression analysis with NRI for the comparisons of each 
filgotinib group versus the placebo group. The p-value from the logistic regression model will be 
provided. The 2-sided 95% CI of the ACR20 response rate at Week 12 based on normal 
approximation with the sample variance for each treatment group will be provided. In addition, 
the non-stratified ACR20 response rate difference along with its 95% CI calculated based on the 
normal approximation with the pooled sample variance will also be provided.
6.2.4.2.
Missing Data Imputation Analyses
To evaluate the impact of missing data on the ACR20 response rate at Week 12, the following 
missing value imputation methods will be used:

The analysis specified in Section 6.2.3 will be performed by using OC and LOCF methods as 
described in Section 6.1.

Multiple imputation (MI): The MI procedure replaces each missing binary ACR20 value with 
a set of plausible values that represent the uncertainty about the right value to impute.
Twenty imputed datasets will be generated based on logistic regression models with starting 
seed 12345. These multiple imputed data sets are then analyzed by using the same method 
for the primary analysis for complete data as specified in Section 6.2.3. The results from each 
set of imputed data sets will then be combined using Rubin’s rule {Rubin 1987}. The 
stratification factors will be included in the imputation model as covariates and data at post-
baseline visits up to the time point of interest will be included in the longitudinal model.


Tipping point analysis: To assess the robustness of analysis results under MNAR (missing 
not at random) assumption, a delta-adjusting pattern-mixture approach for tipping point 
analysis {Ratitch 2013} will be conducted for the primary efficacy endpoint. The impact 
from missing data on the comparisons in proportion of subjects achieving ACR20 at 
Week 12 between filgotinib groups and placebo control group will be examined, by adjusting 
for stratification factors. The proposed method will perform a series of analyses with a range 
of different values of the shift parameter δ applied to the imputed datasets at which the 
conclusion about the statistical significance of the estimated treatment effect will be altered. 
Specifically, a tipping point analysis is characterized by a pair of sequences (one sequence 
associated with missing data in the placebo group and the other associated with missing data 
in the filgotinib group). In the first step for both sequences, the missing data in both treatment 
groups are imputed under the MAR assumption. For each subsequent step of the placebo 
sequence, the missing data is imputed  assuming the missing data is incrementally more 
favorable than in the previous step of that sequence. Similarly, for each subsequent step of
the active sequence, the missing data is imputed  assuming the missing data is incrementally 
less favorable than in the previous step of that sequence. Appendix 6 provides sample SAS 
model statements for the tipping point analysis with starting seed. Each δ value is classified 
as either ‘altering the study’s conclusion’ or tips, ‘keeping the study’s conclusion 
unchanged’. The tipping points that alter the statistical conclusion will be provided. For each 
δ value, 20 imputed data sets will be generated. The same analysis method for the primary 
analysis as specified in Section 6.2.3 will be applied when analyzing adjusted data generated 
under the different δ values.
6.2.5.
Subgroup Analysis of the Primary Endpoint
Subgroup analyses comparing each filgotinib dose group to the placebo group will be performed 
at Week 12 and Week 24 for the primary endpoint, for the subgroups specified in Section 3.4.  
The proportion of subjects who achieve ACR20 will be analyzed using the Fisher’s exact test 
based on the NRI method for treatment group comparison. The number and percentage of 
subjects with ACR20 will also be provided for each treatment group within the subgroups.
6.3.
Key Secondary Efficacy Endpoints
The key secondary efficacy endpoints are:

Change from Baseline in HAQ-DI score at Week 12

The proportion of subjects who achieve DAS28(CRP) < 2.6 at Week 12

Change from Baseline in mTSS at Week 24

6.3.1.
Definition of Key Secondary Efficacy Endpoints
6.3.1.1.
Disease Activity Score for 28 Joint Count using CRP
The DAS28(CRP) score is calculated as follows:
DAS28(CRP) = 0.56-TJC28 + 0.28-SJC28 + 0.36 ln(CRP + 1) + 0.014 × SGA + 0.96,
where 
CRP = hsCRP measurement (mg/L)
SGA = subject’s global assessment of disease activity on a 0-100 VAS
Higher DAS28(CRP) value indicates more severe disease activity.
No component-level imputation will be performed for the calculation of DAS28(CRP) for the 
primary analyses.  If any components are missing, the DAS28(CRP) will be set as missing.

Modified Total Sharp Score (mTSS)
Subject’s radiographs of bilateral hands, wrists and feet will be taken at screening and protocol 
specified visits.  The radiographs will be evaluated through central review by independent joint
assessors using the modified total Sharp Score (mTSS) method. The mTSS (range [0, 448]) is 
defined as the erosion score (range [0, 280]) plus the joint space narrowing (JSN) score (range 
[0, 168]). Detailed algorithm for calculating mTSS, erosion score and JSN score is described in 
Appendix 3.
6.3.1.3.
36-Item Short-form Health Survey
The SF-36 Version 2 is a 36-item, self-reported, generic, comprehensive, and health-related 
quality of life questionnaire that yields an 8 health domains (physical functioning, role-physical, 
bodily pain, general health, vitality, social functioning, role-emotional, and mental health). Each 
domain is scored by summing the individual items and transforming the scores into a 0 to 
100 scale with higher scores indicting better health status or functioning, In addition, 2 summary 
scores, the physical component summary (PCS) score and the mental component summary
(MCS) score will be evaluated based on the 8 SF-36 domains.

FACIT-Fatigue
The FACIT-Fatigue scale is a brief, 13-item, symptom-specific questionnaire that specifically 
assesses the self-reported severity of fatigue and its impact upon daily activities and functioning 
in the past 7 days. The FACIT-Fatigue uses 0 (“not at all”) to 4 (“very much”) numeric rating 
scales. Negatively stated items are reversed by subtracting the response from “4” before being 
added to obtain a total score. Scores range from 0 to 52 with higher scores indicating less fatigue.  
In the case of missing response for some items in the questionnaire, if at least half of the items 
(ie, ≥ 7 of 13 items) were answered at a given visit, the prorated score will be calculated and 
used in the analysis.
6.3.2.
Analysis Methods for Key Secondary Efficacy Endpoints
Hypothesis testing on the key secondary efficacy endpoints will commerce after the testing on 
the primary efficacy endpoint reaches statistical significance, and will be performed according to 
the hierarchical testing principle at the 2-sided 0.05 level as described in Section 3.5. If a null 
hypothesis is not rejected, formal sequential testing will be stopped and only nominal
significance will be reported for the remaining hypotheses.
For non-inferiority test of the proportion of subjects who achieve DAS28(CRP) ≤ 3.2 at 
Week 12, the approach proposed by {Liu 2014} will be used to demonstrate that each filgotinib 
dose preserves more than 50% of the effect of adalimumab on the response rate of DAS28 (CRP)
≤3.2 at Week 12 using NRI. Let 78, 79 and 7: denote the true response rates of DAS28 (CRP)

For the superiority test of the proportion of subjects who achieve DAS28(CRP) < 2.6 at 
Week 12, the similar logistic regression analysis with the same model specification as the 
primary endpoint analysis described in Section 6.2.3 will be adopted for the treatment 
comparisons. The model will include all treatment groups. The NRI method will be used to 
impute missing value. Comparison will be made between each filgotinib dose group and placebo
group. The p-value from the logistic regression model will be reported for statistical inference. 
The 2-sided 95% CI of response rate based on normal approximation with the sample variance 
will be provided for each treatment group. In addition, non-stratified response rate difference 
along with its 95% CI calculated based on the normal approximation with the pooled the sample 
variance will be provided. The superiority test of the proportion of subjects who achieve 
DAS28(CRP) ≤ 3.2 or DAS28(CRP) < 2.6 at Week 12 will be performed in the similar way, and 
the comparison will be made between each filgotinib dose group and adalimumab group.
The change from Baseline in HAQ-DI at Week 12 will be analyzed using the mixed-effects 
model for repeated measures (MMRM) that includes data at postbaseline visits up to the time 
point of interest. Subjects that have a baseline value and at least 1 postbaseline value are 
included in the analysis. The MMRM models will be used to evaluate treatment effect on change 
score from Baseline, with baseline value, stratification factors, treatment, visit, and treatment by 
visit interaction included as fixed effects and subject being the random effect. The MMRM 
model will include all treatment groups. An unstructured variance-covariance matrix will be 
used. The Kenward-Roger method will be used to estimate the degrees of freedom. Missing 
change scores due to missing study visits, early withdrawal or treatment reassignment will not be 
otherwise imputed using the MMRM approach. The least squares (LS) means and 95% CIs of 
the difference in mean change from Baseline in HAQ-DI between each filgotinib dose group and 
placebo group from MMRM will be provided.  
The change from Baseline in mTSS, erosion score and JSN score at Week 24, and change from 
Baseline in SF-36 PCS score and FACIT-Fatigue score at Week 12 will be analyzed using 
similar MMRM method as HAQ-DI, by including data at postbaseline visits up to the time point 
of interest. To test for a treatment difference between each filgotinib dose group and placebo, 
LS mean difference along with 95% CI and p-values from the MMRM model will be presented.
The proportions of subjects achieving DAS28(CRP) ≤ 3.2 (using NRI), and proportions of 
subjects achieving DAS28(CRP) < 2.6 (using NRI) will be plotted over time by treatment. Plots 
of mean ± SD of changes from Baseline in HAQ-DI, mTSS, erosion score, JSN score,
SF-36 PCS and FACIT-Fatigue over time will be presented respectively. Cumulative percentile
plots will be provided for change from baseline in mTSS.

Missing Data Imputation Analyses 
The following imputation methods will be explored:

Change from Baseline in HAQ-DI score at Week 12
1) MI: All subjects with baseline measurement will be included. The MI procedure replaces 
each missing value with a set of plausible values that represent the uncertainty about the 
right value to impute. Twenty imputed datasets will be generated based on linear 
regression models on observed HAQ-DI scores with starting seeds 123 and 465. These 
20 imputed data sets are then analyzed by using the analysis method specified in 
Section 6.3.2 for complete data. The results from each imputed data set will then be 
combined using Rubin’s rule {Rubin 1987}. Stratification factors and baseline values 
will be included in the imputation model as covariates, and data at baseline and all 
post-baseline visits up to the time point of interest visit will be included in the 
longitudinal model.
2) Tipping point analysis: All subjects with baseline measurement will be included. To 
access the robustness of analysis results for change from Baseline in HAQ-DI at Week 12
under MNAR assumption, a set of the shift parameters that adjust the imputed values will 
be examined {Yuan 2014}. The shift parameter that alters the study conclusion for the 
hypothesis testing for change from Baseline in HAQ-DI at Week 12 under the MAR 
assumption will be reported as the tipping point and provided. The tipping point analysis 
will be conducted by iteratively assigning plausible outcomes to missing values for 
subjects in different treatment group independently until the conclusion is reversed 
(eg, analyses are no longer statistically significant). Appendix 7 provides sample 
SAS model statements for the tipping point analysis with starting seeds. The same 
analysis method for the primary analysis as specified in Section 6.3.2 will be applied 
when analyzing adjusted data generated under each plausible shift parameter.

Proportion of subjects who achieve DAS28(CRP) < 2.6 at Week 12
1) The analysis using the same logistic regression model specified in Section 6.3.2 will be
performed by using OC and LOCF methods as described in Section 6.1.
2) MI: All subjects with baseline measurement will be included. The MI procedure replaces 
each missing composite DAS28(CRP) value with a set of plausible values that represent 
the uncertainty about the right value to impute. Baseline value and stratification factors 
will be included in the imputation model as covariates, and data at baseline and 
post-baseline visits up to the time point of interest will be included in the longitudinal 
model. The multiple imputed datasets will be generated. These multiple imputed data sets 
are then used to identify subjects with DAS28(CRP) < 2.6 at Week 12, and analyzed by 
using the analysis method specified in Section 6.3.2 for complete data. The results from 
each set of imputed data sets will then be combined using Rubin’s rule {Rubin 1987}.
3) Tipping point analysis: Similar modified tipping point method as described in 
Section 6.2.4.2 will be applied to DAS28(CRP) < 2.6 response rate at Week 12.

performed by using OC and LOCF methods as described in Section 6.1.
2) MI: Similar MI procedure used for superiority test of the proportion of subjects who 
achieve DAS28(CRP) < 2.6 at Week 12 will be performed. The multiple imputed data 
sets will be analyzed by using the non-inferiority analysis specified in Section 6.3.2 for 
complete data. The results from each set of imputed data sets will then be combined.
3) Tipping point analysis: Similar modified tipping point method as described in 
Section 6.2.4.2 will be applied to DAS28(CRP) ≤ 3.2 or DAS28(CRP) < 2.6 response 
rate at Week 12. The non-inferiority analysis specified in Section 6.3.2 will be applied 
when analyzing adjusted data generated under the different δ values.

Change from Baseline in SF-36 PCS at Week 12
1) MI: Similar MI procedure used for analyzing the change from Baseline in HAQ-DI score 
at Week 12 will be performed.

from Baseline in HAQ-DI score at Week 12 will be performed.

Change from Baseline in FACIT-Fatigue at Week 12
1) MI: Similar MI procedure used for analyzing the change from Baseline in HAQ-DI score 
at Week 12 will be performed.
2) Tipping point analysis: Similar tipping point analysis method as for analyzing the change 
from Baseline in HAQ-DI score at Week 12 will be performed.

Subgroup Analyses for Key Secondary Efficacy Endpoints
Subgroup analyses comparing each filgotinib dose group to the placebo group will be performed 
at Week 12 and Week 24 for the key secondary efficacy endpoints, for the subgroups specified in 
Section 3.4.
The subgroup analysis for the proportion of subjects who achieve DAS28(CRP) < 2.6 will be 
performed using the Fisher’s exact test based on the NRI method. The number and percentage of 
subjects with DAS28(CRP) < 2.6 will be provided for each treatment group within the 
subgroups.
The change from Baseline in HAQ-DI will be analyzed using the MMRM method that includes
data at postbaseline visits up to the time point of interest with baseline value, treatment, visit, and 
treatment by visit as fixed effects and subjects being the random effect. The LS mean, LS mean 
difference, SE and 95% CI will be presented. The change from Baseline in mTSS, change from 
Baseline in SF-36 PCS and change from Baseline in FACIT-Fatigue will be analyzed similarly 
using the MMRM model, respectively. Descriptive statistics for actual values and change from 
baseline will also be presented for each treatment group within the subgroups.

Definition of Other Secondary Efficacy Endpoints
6.4.1.1.
ACR50 and ACR70
ACR50 and ACR70 are similarly defined as ACR20 (see Section 6.2.1), except that the 
improvement threshold from Baseline is 50% and 70%, respectively.
6.4.1.2.
SDAI and CDAI
Simplified Disease Activity Index (SDAI) is a composite measure that sums the TJC28, SJC28, 
the SGA on a 0-10 scale, the PGA on a 0-10 scale, and the hsCRP (in mg/dL). SDAI is scored as 
follows {Aletaha 2005}:
SDAI = TJC28 + SJC28 + SGA + PGA + CRP 
Higher SDAI score indicates more severe disease activity status.
Clinical Disease Activity Index (CDAI) is a further simplification of the SDAI that excludes the 
CRP, which is calculated using the following formula {Aletaha 2005}:
CDAI = TJC28 + SJC28 + SGA + PGA 
CDAI can range from 0 to 76, with higher score indicating more severe disease activity status.
No component-level imputation will be performed for the calculation of both SDAI and CDAI.  
If any components are missing, the SDAI and CDAI will be set as missing.

ACR-N 
ACR-N is defined as the smallest percentage improvement from baseline in swollen joints,
tender joints and the median of the following 5 items (PGA, SGA, subject’s pain assessment, 
HAQ-DI score and CRP). It has a range between 0 and 100%. In particular,
ACR-N = min {improvement in TJC68 (%), improvement in SJC66 (%), median [improvement 
in SGA (%), improvement in PGA (%), improvement in pain assessment (%), improvement in 
HAQ-DI (%), improvement in hsCRP (%)]}. 
If this calculation results in a negative value, then the ACR-N is set to 0.  If any components are 
missing, the ACR-N will be set as missing.

European Quality of Life 5 Dimensions – 5 Levels (EQ-5D-5L)
The EQ-5D-5L is a standardized measure of health status of the subject at the visit (same day) 
that provides a simple, generic measure of health for clinical and economic appraisal. The 
EQ-5D-5L consists of 2 components: a descriptive system of the subject’s health and a rating of 
his or her current health state using a 0 to 100 VAS. The descriptive system comprises the 
following 5 dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and 
anxiety/depression. Each dimension has 5 levels: no problems, slight problems, moderate 
problems, severe problems, and extreme problems. The subject is asked to indicate his/her health 
state by ticking (or placing a cross) in the box associated with the most appropriate statement in 
each of the 5 dimensions. The VAS records the subject’s self-rated health on a vertical VAS in 
which the endpoints are labeled “best imaginable health state” on the top and “worst imaginable 
health state” on the bottom. Higher EQ VAS indicates better health. The EQ-5D-5L will be 
scored according to the developer’s instructions (scoring guidelines).

Work Productivity and Activity Impairment questionnaire (WPAI )– RA
The WPAI is a questionnaire developed to measure impairments in work activities in subjects 
with RA. The questionnaire consists of 6 questions:
Q1:
currently employed, 
Q2:
work time missed due to RA, 
Q3:
work time missed due to other reasons, 
Q4:
hours actually worked, 
Q5:
degree RA affected productivity while working (0-10 VAS; with 0 indicating no 
effect and 10 indicating RA completely prevented the subject from working), 
Q6:
degree RA affected productivity in regular unpaid activities (0-10 VAS; with 
0 indicating no effect and 10 indicating RA completely prevented the subject’s daily 
activities). 
The recall period for questions 2 to 6 is 7 days. WPAI-RA outcomes are expressed as 
impairment percentages, with higher numbers indicating greater impairment and less 
productivity, that is, worse outcomes, as follows:

Absenteeism (work time missed) due to RA: 100×{Q2/(Q2+Q4)}

Presenteeism ( impairment while working) due to RA: 100×{Q5/10}

Work productivity loss (overall work impairment) due to RA: 100×{Q2/(Q2+Q4) + 
[(1-Q2/(Q2+Q4) ) × (Q5/10)]}

Activity impairment due to RA: 100×{Q6/10}
If Question 1 (Are you currently employed?) is ‘NO’, then only the activity impairment score 
can be determined.

The propo1iion of subjects who achieve ACR20/50/70, and propo1iion of subjects with change in 
HAQ-DI ~ 0.22 (ie, reduction in HAQ-DI ~ 0.22), DAS28(CRP) :S 3.2 or DAS28(CRP) < 2.6, 
will be analyzed using the same logistic regression method with NRI as the primaiy endpoint 
analysis described in Section 6.2.3. Compai·ison will be made between each filgotinib dose group 
and placebo group. The 2-sided 95% Cis for the propo1iion based on n01mal approximation with 
the sample vai·iance will be provided for each treatment group and visit. In addition, non-
stratified response rate difference along with its 95% CI calculated based on the nonnal 
approximation with the pooled sample vai·iance will be provided. The OC and LOCF values will 
be analyzed as a sensitivity approach to the prirnaiy method that uses NRI. 
The proportion of subjects having no radiographic progression as defined by change from 
baseline in mTSS :S 0.5 at Week 24 will be analyzed using the same logistic regression method 
based on the OC. Comparison will be made between each filgotinib dose group and placebo 
group. The 2 sided 95% Cis for the proportion based on nonnal approximation with the sample 
vai·iance will be provided for each treatment group. In addition, non-stratified response rate 
difference along with its 95% CI calculated based on the n01mal approximation with the pooled 
sainple variance will be provided. The no radiographic progression as defined by change from 
baseline in mTSS :S 0, and the smallest detectable change (SDC) at Week 24 will also be 
analyzed using the logistic regression method based on the OC. SDC is the smallest detectable 
change computed from the vai·iability in change from baseline in mTSS of the two imaging

Actual values and change from Baseline in individual components of the ACR response
(including TJC68, SJC66, SGA, PGA, Subject’s pain assessment, and hsCRP), TJC28 and 
SJC28 will be summarized using descriptive statistics (sample size, mean, SD, median, Q1, Q3, 
minimum, and maximum) by treatment group and visit. In addition, the MMRM model with 
baseline value, stratification factors, treatment, visit and treatment and visit interaction as fixed 
effects and subject being the random effect will be performed to compare each filgotinib dose 
group to placebo control group. The LS means and 95% CI of the difference between each

Changes From Protocol-Specified Efficacy Analyses
The following changes were made from the protocol-specified efficacy analyses:

It has been observed from the blinded data that the enrollment rate is low in some 
combinations of stratification factors, which will result in the small cell counts for the 
stratified Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel test adjusted for the stratification factors. The logistic 
regression analysis with treatment and stratification factors in the model will be used instead 
to analyze binary endpoints.

The following endpoints have been updated as key secondary efficacy endpoints in 
Section 6.3.1 and included in the hierarchy testing in Section 3.5, in order to support 
inclusion in the label.
Change from baseline in SF-36 physical component summary (PCS) at Week 12
Change from baseline in FACIT-Fatigue at Week 12

Given the importance of determining the lowest effective dose for filgotinib in RA, the 
hierarchical ordering has been updated in Section 3.5 to test filgotinib 100 mg immediately 
after each test for filgotinib 200 mg (including the primary endpoint and each of the key 
secondary endpoints).

Given the importance of achieving very low disease activity DAS28(CRP) < 2.6 in RA 
therapy, the testing for comparison of filgotinib with placebo on DAS28(CRP) ≤3.2 is 
removed from the hierarchy list, and the testing for comparison of filgotinib with 
adalimumab on DAS28(CRP) < 2.6 at week 12 is added to the hierarchy list. In addition, the 
comparison of filgotinib with placebo on DAS28(CRP) < 2.6 is evaluated at Week 12 prior 
to the specified non-responder assessment and start of standard of care therapy at Week 14.

SAFETY ANALYSES
7.1.
Adverse Events and Deaths
7.1.1.
Adverse Event Dictionary
Clinical and laboratory adverse events (AEs) will be coded using the MedDRA 21.0. System 
organ class (SOC), high-level group term (HLGT), high-level term (HLT), preferred term (PT), 
and lower-level term (LLT) will be provided in the AE dataset.
7.1.2.
Adverse Event Severity
Adverse events are graded by the investigator as Grade 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 according to toxicity 
criteria specified in the protocol. The severity grade of events for which the investigator did not 
record severity will be categorized as “missing” for tabular summaries and data listings. The
missing category will be listed last in summary presentation.
7.1.3.
Relationship of Adverse Events to Study Drug
Related AEs are those for which the investigator selected “Related” on the AE CRF to the 
question of “Related to Study Treatment.” Relatedness will always default to the investigator’s
choice, not that of the Medical Monitor. Events for which the investigator did not record 
relationship to study drug will be considered related to study drug for summary purposes. 
However, by-subject data listings will show the relationship as missing.
7.1.4.
Serious Adverse Events
Serious adverse events (SAEs) will be identified and captured as SAEs if AEs met the definitions 
of SAE that were specified in the study protocol. SAEs captured and stored in the clinical 
database will be reconciled with the SAE database from the Gilead 
Pharmacovigilance & Epidemiology Department (PVE) before data finalization.
7.1.5.
Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events
7.1.5.1.
Definition of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events
Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) are defined as one or both of the following:

Any AEs with an onset date on or after the study drug start date and no later than 30 days 
after permanent discontinuation of study drug

Any AEs leading to premature discontinuation of study drug
For placebo subjects who were then re-randomized, TEAEs with an onset date prior to the first 
dose date of filgotinib will be allocated to the placebo controlled period. TEAEs with an onset 
date on or after the first dose date of filgotinib will be allocated to the re-randomized period.

7.1.5.2.
Incomplete Dates
If the onset date of the AE is incomplete and the AE stop date is not prior to the first dosing date 
of study drug, then the month and year (or year alone if month is not recorded) of onset 
determine whether an AE is treatment emergent. The event is considered treatment emergent if 
both of the following 2 criteria are met:

The AE onset is the same as or after the month and year (or year) of the first dosing date of 
study drug, and

The AE onset date is the same as or before the month and year (or year) of the date
corresponding to 30 days after the date of the last dose of study drug 
An AE with completely missing onset and stop dates, or with the onset date missing and a stop 
date later than the first dosing date of study drug, will be considered to be treatment emergent. In 
addition, an AE with the onset date missing and incomplete stop date with the same or later 
month and year (or year alone if month is not recorded) as the first dosing date of study drug will 
be considered treatment emergent.
For placebo subjects who were then re-randomized, an AE with incomplete onset date that is 
prior to the month and year (or year) of the first dose date of filgotinib will be allocated to the 
placebo controlled period. An AE with incomplete onset date that is after the month and year 
(or year) of the first dose date of filgotinib will be allocated to the re-randomized period. 
In addition, an AE with completely missing onset date or incomplete onset date that is same as 
the month and year (or year) of the first dose date of filgotinib, and stop date that is prior to the 
date (or month and year if day is not recorded; or year alone if month is not recorded) of the first 
dose of filgotinib will be allocated to the placebo controlled period. An AE with completely 
missing onset date or incomplete onset date that is same as the month and year (or year) of the 
first dose date of filgotinib, and stop date that is missing, or the same as, or after the date 
(or month and year if day is not recorded; or year alone if month is not recorded) of the first dose 
of filgotinib will be allocated to the re-randomized period.
7.1.6.
Summaries of Adverse Events and Deaths
Treatment-emergent AEs will be summarized based on the Safety Analysis Set.
7.1.6.1.
Summaries of AE incidence in Combined Severity Grade Subsets 
The number and percentage of subjects who experienced at least 1 TEAE will be provided and 
summarized by SOC, HLT, PT, and treatment group. For other AEs described below, summaries 
will be provided by SOC, PT, and treatment group:

the number and percentage of subjects who experienced the above AEs. All deaths observed in 
the study will be also included in this summary.
Multiple events will be counted only once per subject in each summary. Adverse events will be 
summarized and listed first in alphabetic order of SOC and HLT within each SOC (if applicable), 
and then by PT in descending order of total frequency within each SOC. For summaries by 
severity grade, the most severe grade will be used for those AEs that occurred more than once in 
an individual subject during the study. 
In addition to the above summary tables, all TEAEs and TE treatment-related AEs will be 
summarized by PT only, in descending order of total frequency.

7.1.7.
Adverse Events of Special Interest
Events of interest will be identified by the use of either SMQs or MSTs. However, should 
additional cases not detected by the predefined search term listings be identified during the 
clinical review process, these cases will also be reported by respective category.
7.1.7.1.
Adjudication Committee for MACE 
An independent cardiovascular safety endpoint adjudication committee (CVEAC) will be formed 
to periodically review and adjudicate all potential major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) 
events. MACE events are defined as cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction and
non-fatal stroke.
To identify the MACE, the following potential cases identified using MedDRA search term 
(MST) searches will be adjudicated:

All deaths

Cardiovascular events  (meeting serious criteria)

Myocardial infarction (Narrow)

Hospitalization for unstable angina

Transient ischemic attack

Stroke

Hospitalization for cardiac failure

Percutaneous coronary intervention
The CVEAC will review those potential MACE and related clinical data to determine whether a 
MACE has developed. The CVEAC’s role and responsibilities and the data to be provided to the 
CVEAC are described in a mutually agreed upon CVEAC charter. The CVEAC charter defines 
the CVEAC membership, adjudication process, meeting logistics, and meeting frequency. 
The number and percentage of subjects with positively adjudicated MACE will be summarized 
by treatment group using the PT.
A by-subject listing for all subjects who have potential MACE and who have a positively
adjudicated MACE at any time will be provided.

The number and percentage of subjects with aforementioned events of special interest will be 
provided by the PT for each AE of special interests.
A by-subject listing for all subjects having AE of special interests at any time will be provided 
for each AE of special interest.
7.1.8.
Additional Analysis for Adverse Events 
The number and proportion of subjects who experienced at least one treatment-emergent SAE, or 
one treatment-emergent AE of special interests will be summarized by treatment group. The 
comparisons of the proportions between the placebo group during placebo controlled period and 
the filgotinib treatment groups will be performed. The 2-sided 95% CI of the proportion based on 
normal approximation with the sample variance will be provided for each treatment group. In 
addition, the difference in proportions between treatment groups with its 95% CI based on the

Laboratory Evaluations
Laboratory data collected during the study will be analyzed and summarized using both 
quantitative and qualitative methods. Summaries of laboratory data will be provided for the 
Safety Analysis Set and will include data collected up to the last dose of any study drug plus 
30 days for subjects who have permanently discontinued study drug, or all available data at the 
time of the database snapshot for subjects who were ongoing at the time of an interim analysis. 
The analysis will be based on values reported in conventional units. When values are below the 
LOQ, they will be listed as such, and the closest imputed value will be used for the purpose of 
calculating summary statistics as specified in Section 3.7.
A baseline laboratory value will be defined as the last nonmissing measurement obtained on or 
prior to the date/time of first dose of any study drug.
For placebo subjects who were then re-randomized, the baseline laboratory value for the 
re-randomization period will be the last available measurement obtained on or prior to the 
date/time of first dose of filgotinib. The lab abnormalities after the first dose of filgotinib will be 
assessed from the baseline of the re-randomization period.
A by-subject listing for laboratory test results will be provided by subject ID number and visit in 
chronological order for hematology, serum chemistry, and urinalysis separately. Values falling 
outside of the relevant reference range and/or having a severity grade of 1 or higher on the 
CTCAE severity grade will be flagged in the data listings, as appropriate.
No formal statistical testing is planned.

7.2.2.
Graded Laboratory Value
The CTCAE Version 4.03 will be used to assign toxicity grades (0 to 4) to laboratory results for 
analysis. Grade 0 includes all values that do not meet the criteria for an abnormality of at least 
Grade 1. For laboratory tests with criteria for both increased and decreased levels, analyses for 
each direction (ie, increased, decreased) will be presented separately. 
7.2.2.1.
Treatment-Emergent Laboratory Abnormalities
Treatment-emergent laboratory abnormalities are defined as values that increase at least 
1 toxicity grade from baseline at any postbaseline time point, up to and including the date of last 
dose of any study drug plus 30 days for subjects who permanently discontinued study drug, or 
the last available date in the database snapshot for subjects who were still on treatment at the 
time of an interim analysis. 
For placebo subjects who were then re-randomized, treatment-emergent laboratory abnormalities
of placebo period are defined as values that increase at least 1 toxicity grade from the baseline at 
any postbaseline time point, up to and including the first dose date of filgotinib. Treatment-
emergent laboratory abnormalities of re-randomized period are defined as values that increase at 
least 1 toxicity grade from the new baseline after Week 24 at any postbaseline time point, up to 
and including the date of last dose of any study drug plus 30 days, or the last available date in the 
database snapshot for subjects who were still on treatment at the time of an interim analysis.
Placebo subjects who were not re-randomized have treatment-emergent laboratory abnormalities 
in the placebo period which are defined as values that increase 1 toxicity grade from the baseline 
at any postbaseline time point, up to and including the date of last dose of any study drug plus 
30 days.
If the relevant baseline laboratory value is missing, any abnormality of at least Grade 1 observed 
within the time frame specified above will be considered treatment emergent.
7.2.2.2.
Treatment-Emergent Marked Laboratory Abnormalities
Treatment-emergent marked laboratory abnormalities are defined as values that increase from 
baseline by at least 3 toxicity grades at any postbaseline time point, up to and including the date
of the last dose of any study drug plus 30 days for subjects who permanently discontinued study 
drug or the last available date in the database snapshot for subjects who were still on treatment at 
the time of an interim analysis.

filgotinib. Treatment-emergent marked laboratory abnormalities of re-randomized period are 
defined as values that increase from the new baseline after Week 24 by at least 3 toxicity grades 
at any postbaseline time point, up to and including the date of last dose of any study drug plus 
30 days, or the last available date in the database snapshot for subjects who were still on 
treatment at the time of an interim analysis.
Placebo subjects who were not re-randomized have treatment-emergent marked laboratory 
abnormalities in the placebo period which are defined as values that increase from baseline by at 
least 3 toxicity grades at any postbaseline time point, up to and including the date of last dose of 
any study drug plus 30 days.
If the relevant baseline laboratory value is missing, any Grade 3 or higher values observed within 
the time frame specified above will be considered treatment-emergent marked abnormalities.
7.2.2.3.
Summaries of Laboratory Abnormalities
Laboratory data that are categorical will be summarized using the number and percentage of 
subjects in the study with the given response at baseline and each scheduled postbaseline visit.
The following summaries (number and percentage of subjects) for treatment-emergent laboratory 
abnormalities will be provided by laboratory test and treatment group; subjects will be 
categorized according to the most severe postbaseline abnormality grade for a given laboratory 
test:

Graded laboratory abnormalities

Grade 3 or higher laboratory abnormalities


The summary will include data from all postbaseline visits up to 30 days after the last dose of
any study drug.
7.3.
Body Weight and Vital Signs
Descriptive statistics will be provided by treatment group for body weight, BMI and vital signs 
(systolic and diastolic blood pressures [mmHg], pulse [beats/min]) as follows:

Baseline value

Values at each postbaseline visit

Change from baseline at each postbaseline visit
A baseline value will be defined as the last available value collected on or prior to the date/time 
of first dose of any study drug. 
For placebo subjects who were then re-randomized, the baseline value for re-randomization 
period will be defined as the last available value collected on or prior to the date/time of the first 
dose of filgotinib.
Change from baseline to a postbaseline visit will be defined as the postbaseline value minus the 
baseline value. Body weight and vital signs measured at unscheduled visits will be included for 
the baseline value selection.
In the case of multiple values in an analysis window, data will be selected for analysis as 
described in Section 3.8.3. No formal statistical testing is planned.

7.4.1.
Prior Medications
Prior medications are defined as any medication taken before a subject took the first study drug.
Prior medications will be summarized by Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical (ATC) drug class 
preferred name using the number and percentage of subjects for each treatment group and 
overall. A subject reporting the same medication more than once will be counted only once when 
calculating the number and percentage of subjects who received that medication. The summary 
will be provided by preferred name in order of descending overall frequency. For drugs with the 
same frequency, sorting will be done alphabetically.
For the purposes of analysis, any medication with a start date prior to the first dosing date of any 
study drug will be included in the prior medication summary regardless of when the stop date is. 
If a partial start date is entered the medication will be considered prior unless the month and year 
(if day is missing) or year (if day and month are missing) of the start date are after the first 
dosing date. Medications with a completely missing start date will be included in the prior 
medication summary, unless otherwise specified.
Summaries will be based on the Safety Analysis Set. No formal statistical testing is planned.
7.4.2.
Concomitant Medications
Concomitant medications are defined as medications taken while a subject took study drug. Use 
of concomitant medications will be summarized by ATC drug class preferred name using the 
number and percentage of subjects for each treatment group. A subject reporting the same 
medication more than once will be counted only once when calculating the number and 
percentage of subjects who received that medication. The summary will be provided by preferred 
term in descending overall frequency. For drugs with the same frequency, sorting will be done 
alphabetically.
For the purposes of analysis, any medication with a start date prior to or on the first dosing date 
of any study drug and continued to take after the first dosing date, or started after the first dosing 
date but prior to or on the last dosing date of study drug will be considered concomitant 
medications. Medications started and stopped on the same day as the first dosing date or the last 
dosing date of any study drug will also be considered concomitant. Medications stopped on the 
same day as the first dosing date will be considered concomitant. Medications with a stop date 
prior to the date of first dosing date of any study drug or a start date after the last dosing date of 
any study drug will be excluded from the concomitant medication summary. If a partial stop date 
is entered, any medication with the month and year (if day is missing) or year (if day and month 
are missing) prior to the date of first study drug administration will be excluded from the 
concomitant medication summary. If a partial start date is entered, any medication with the 
month and year (if day is missing) or year (if day and month are missing) after the study drug 
stop date will be excluded from the concomitant medication summary. Medications with 
completely missing start and stop dates will be included in the concomitant medication summary, 
unless otherwise specified.

For placebo subjects who were then re-randomized, concomitant medication with a start date 
prior to the first dose date of filgotinib will be allocated to the placebo controlled period. 
Concomitant medication with a start date on or after first dose date of filgotinib will be allocated
to the re-randomized period.
For placebo subjects who were then re-randomized, a concomitant medication with incomplete 
start date that is prior to the month and year (or year) of the first dose date of filgotinib will be 
allocated to the placebo controlled period. A concomitant medication with incomplete start date 
that is after the month and year (or year) of the first dose date of filgotinib will be allocated to the 
re-randomized period. 
In addition, an concomitant medication with completely missing start date or incomplete start
date that is same as the month and year (or year) of the first dose date of filgotinib, and stop date 
that is prior to the date (or month and year if day is not recorded; or year alone if month is not 
recorded) of the first dose of filgotinib will be allocated to the placebo controlled period. An 
concomitant medication with completely missing start date or incomplete start date that is same 
as the month and year (or year) of the first dose date of filgotinib, and stop date that is missing, 
or the same as, or after the date (or month and year if day is not recorded; or year alone if month 
is not recorded) of the first dose of filgotinib will be allocated to the re-randomized period

PHARMACOKINETIC ANALYSES
Concentrations of filgotinib and its metabolite GS-829845 in plasma will be determined using 
validated bioanalytical assays. Plasma PK parameters of filgotinib and GS-829845, will be 
evaluated. 
8.1.
PK Analyses Related to Intensive PK Sampling
Steady-state PK over a 24 hour dosing interval will be determined in subjects in the PK Substudy 
Analysis Set. 
8.1.1.
Estimation of Pharmacokinetic Parameters
PK parameters will be estimated using Phoenix WinNonlin® software using standard
noncompartmental methods. The linear/log trapezoidal rule will be used in conjunction with the 
appropriate noncompartmental model, with input values for dose level, dosing time, plasma 
concentration, and corresponding real-time values, based on drug dosing times whenever 
possible.
All predose sample times before time-zero will be converted to 0. Predose samples may also 
serve as the 24-hr post dose sample if appropriate.
For area under the curve (AUC), samples BLQ of the bioanalytical assays occurring prior to the 
achievement of the first quantifiable concentration will be assigned a concentration value of 0 to 
prevent overestimation of the initial AUC. Samples that are BLQ at all other time points will be 
treated as missing data in WinNonlin. The nominal time point for a key event or dosing interval 
(τ) may be used to permit direct calculation of AUC over specific time intervals. The 
appropriateness of this approach will be assessed by the PK scientist on a profile-by-profile 
basis.
Pharmacokinetic parameters such as AUCtau, λz and t1/2 are dependent on an accurate estimation 
of the terminal elimination phase of drug. The appropriateness of calculating these parameters 
will be evaluated upon inspection of PK data on a profile-by-profile basis by the PK scientist.
8.1.2.
Pharmacokinetic Parameters
PK parameters will be generated for all subjects in the PK Substudy analysis set. The analytes 
presented in Table 8-1 will be evaluated if data are available.

In addition, molar ratio of metabolite to parent exposure (AUCtau and Cmax) may be calculated for 
individual subjects and summarized by treatment. The GS-829845 to figotinib ratio for AUCtau
will be calculated by dividing the AUCtau (in h*nmol/L) of GS-829845 by the AUCtau
(in h*nmol/L) of filgotinib. The GS-829845 to figotinib ratio for Cmax will be calculated by 
dividing the Cmax (in nmol/L) of GS-829845 by the Cmax (in nmol/L) of filgotinib.
8.1.3.
Statistical Analysis Methods
Individual subject concentration data and individual subject PK parameters for filgotinib and 
GS-829845 will be listed and summarized using descriptive statistics by treatment. Summary 
statistics (number of subjects [n], mean, SD, coefficient of variation [%CV], median, minimum, 
maximum, Q1, and Q3) will be presented for both individual subject concentration data by time 
point and treatment; and individual subject PK parameters by treatment. Moreover, the geometric 
mean, 95% CI, and the mean and SD of the natural log-transformed values will be presented for 
individual subject PK parameter data. 
Individual concentration data listings and summaries will include all subjects with concentration 
data. The sample size for each time point will be based on the number of subjects with 
nonmissing concentration data at that time point. The number of subjects with concentration 
BLQ will be presented for each time point. For summary statistics, BLQ values will be treated as 
0 at predose and one-half of the lower limits of quantitation (LLOQ) for postdose time points. 
Individual PK parameter data listings and summaries will include all subjects for whom PK 
parameter(s) can be derived. The sample size for each PK parameter will be based on the number 
of subjects with nonmissing data for that PK parameter.
The following tables may be provided for each analyte by treatment:

Individual subject concentration data and summary statistics

Individual subject plasma PK parameters and summary statistics.

Health Assessment Questionnaire Disability Index (HAQ-DI)
The HAQ-DI score is defined as the average of the scores of eight functional categories (dressing 
and grooming, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip, and other activities), usually 
administered by the subject.  Responses in each functional category are collected as 0 (without 
any difficulty) to 3 (unable to do a task in that area), with or without aids or devices. 
The highest score for questions in each category (range 0 to 3) determines the score for the 
category, unless aids or devices are required. Dependence on equipment or physical assistance 
increases a lower score (ie, scores of 0 or 1) to the level of 2 to more accurately represent 
underlying disability. The eight category scores are averaged into an overall HAQ-DI score on a 
scale from 0 (no disability) to 3 (completely disabled) when 6 or more categories are 
non-missing.  If more than 2 categories are missing, the HAQ-DI score is set to missing. The 
HAQ-DI can be treated as a continuous measure. 
The HAQ-DI score using aids (and/or devices) is computed by taking the maximum score of the 
questions in each category (range: [0, 3]) and whether or not aids/devices are used (0 or 1):
A = 
max(dressing & grooming category questions, 2*aids indicator) +
max(rising category questions, 2*aids indicator) +
max(eating category questions, 2*aids indicator) +
max(walking category questions, 2*aids indicator) +
max(hygiene category questions, 2*aids indicator) +
max(reach category questions, 2*aids indicator) +
max(grip category questions, 2*aids indicator) +
max(usual activities category questions, 2*aids indicator)
HAQ-DI = A/(total number of categories with at least 6 non-missing)
The following table shows the contribution of the 43 questions used to calculate the HAQ-DI:

At least 6 categories must have scores to 
compute the HAQ-DI.
HAQ-DI Category Score with 
Aids/Devices Calculation:
Category Questions
Aids/Devices Indicators
Dressing / Grooming
HAQ0101, HAQ0102
(DRESS, HAIR)
HAQ0114, HAQ0119
(DRSG, GROOM)
Using each question with a scale of 
0-3, calculate the category score as 
the maximum of the category 
questions.
If the Aids/Devices indicator is 
“No”, no need to adjust the category 
score.
If the Aids/Devices indicator is 
“Yes” and the category score is <2, 
then the category score with the 
Aids/Devices is set to 2.
If the Aids/Devices indicator is 
“Yes” and the category score is ≥2, 
then the category score with 
Aids/Devices is the calculated 
category score without adjustment.
For example:
The Dressing/Grooming category 
score is 2 if subject answered 1 for 
both questions 1 and 2 and “Yes” for 
both question 14 and 19. 
In the HAQ-DI score calculation, 
questions on other device/aids will 
not be used.

Handling Missing Data: If no more than 2 categories have missing category scores, then the 
HAQ-DI is the mean of the non-missing category scores. Otherwise, the HAQ-DI score is set to 
missing.
If any of the category questions are missing, but the aids/device indicator is non-missing, the 
category score can still be computed.  However, if all category questions and its aids/device 
indicators are missing, then the category score is considered missing.

van der Heijde modified Total Sharp Score (mTSS)
1) Definition of mTSS
The joint erosion score is a summary of erosion severity in 32 joints of the hands and 12 joints in 
the feet, as shown below for the joints assessed for erosions.
Hands/Fingers MCP: 
Metacarpophalangeal joints I – V (n = 10)
Hands/Wrist: 
Multangular bones (trapezium & trapezoid) (n = 2)
Hands/Fingers PIP:
Proximal interphalangeal joints II – V (n = 8)
Hands/Wrist: 
Scaphoid(Navicular) bones (n = 2)
Hands/Fingers IP (thumbs):
Interphalangeal joints (n = 2)
Hands/Wrist: 
Lunate bones (n=2)
Hands/Fingers (thumbs):
Proximal Metacarpal joints (n = 2)
Feet/Toes MTP:
Metatarsophalangeal joints I – V (n = 10)
Hands/Wrist: 
Distal Radius (n = 2)
Feet/Toes IP (big toes): 
Interphalangeal joints (n = 2)
Hands/Wrist:
Distal Ulna (n = 2)
An erosion score of 0 to 5 is given to each joint in the hands and wrists, and a score of 0 to 10 is 
given to each joint in the feet.  Each hand and wrist joint is scored, according to the surface area 
involved, from 0 to 5, with 5 indicating extensive loss of bone from more than one half of the 
articulating bone (0 indicates no erosion).  Because each side of a foot joint is graded on this 
scale, the maximum erosion score for a foot joint is 10. Thus, the maximal erosion score is 
(32*5) + (12*10) = 280. A joint may not be evaluable due to surgery (ie, joint replacement) or 
may be radiographically insufficient for reading. 
The joint space narrowing (JSN) score summarizes the severity of JSN in 30 joints of the 
hands/wrists and 12 joints of the feet, as shown below for the joints assessed for JSN.
Hand/Fingers MCP: 
Metacarpophalangeal joints I – V (n = 10)
Hand/Wrist: 
Capitate-scaphoid Joint (n = 2)
Hand/Fingers PIP:
Proximal interphalangeal joints II – V (n = 8)
Hand/Wrist: 
Scaphoid-radius Joint (n=2)
Hand/Fingers CMC:
Carpometacarpal joints III, IV, V (n = 6)
Foot/Toes MTP:
Metatarsophalangeal joints (n = 10)
Hand/Wrist: 
Scaphoid-Trapezium Joint (n = 2)
Foot/Toes IP: 
Interphalangeal joints (n = 2)
Assessment of JSN for each hand (15 joints per hand) and foot (6 joints per foot), including 
subluxation, is scored from 0 to 4, with 0 indicating normal or no narrowing and 4 indicating 
complete loss of joint space, bony ankylosis, or luxation. Thus, the maximal JSN score is (30*4) 
+ (12*4) = 168. A joint may not be evaluable due to subluxation, luxations, surgery (ie, joint 
replacement) or may be radiographically insufficient for reading.

2) Handling of Missing Joint Data
This section is focused on how to handle missing scores for individual joints during mTSS 
derivation.  
If repeated X-ray was taken at screening, Week 12, Week 24 or early termination visit, the joint 
scores from the repeated X-ray will be set to missing if (repeated X-ray date - original X-ray 
date) > 28 days. At Week 52 the joint scores from the repeat X-ray will be set to missing if 
(repeated X-ray date - original X-ray date) > 42 days. If a joint was identified as surgically 
modified at screening, this joint will be set to be missing at all following visits. 
Step 1 is to identify missing joint scores and impute values when applicable for each reader. The 
joints are divided into 8 segments. A segment is adequate when the total number of joints with 
nonmissing score is above the threshold as defined in the table below.
The change score of missing joints within an segment will be imputed based on the mean change 
scores of the available joints of that segment. After the missing joint change scores are imputed, 
the sum of joint change scores will be computed for each segment.

The mTSS at baseline will be set to missing if any of the segments is inadequate. The mTSS at 
postbaseline visits will be set to missing if more than 3 segments are inadequate; otherwise 
imputation will be applied to imputed segments.The change score of the missing segments at a 
timepoint will be imputed based on the mean change scores of the available segmernts of that 
timepoint.
The erosion score and JSN score at baseline will be set to missing if any of the segments that
contribute to derive either the erosion score or JSN score is inadequate, respectively. The erosion 
score and JSN score at postbaseline visits will be set to missing if more than 1 segment is
inadequate, respectively; otherwise the change score of the missing segment will be imputed in 
the similar way as mTSS.
The missing joint scores at baseline will be imputed when all of the segments at baseline are 
adequate and the corresponding joints are scored at Week 24. If the corresponding segment at 
Week 24 is also adequate, the missing joint change scores at Week 24 will be imputed first using 
the method described before, and the missing joint score at baseline will be imputed as joint 
score at Week 24 minus the change in joint score. The mTSS at baseline will be the sum of the 
scores after imputation. The mTSS at postbaseline visits will be derived as change in mTSS plus 
baseline mTSS. The erosion score and JSN score at baseline and postbaseline visits will be 
derived in the similar way as mTSS.
Step 3 is to identify which reader pair will be used to derive final mTSS, erosion score and JSN 
score when an adjudicated read is present . The selection is made at Week 24 based on changes 
in mTSS as specified below and will be applied to all the visits. 

If both readers and adjudicator have change in mTSS available, the selected reader will 
be the one whose change in mTSS is closest to that of adjudicator. If the differences of 
change in mTSS comparing to adjudicator are the same for both readers, then both 
readers will be selected.

If adjudictor’s change in mTSS is available, but one of the readers’ change in mTSS is 
missing, then the other reader will be selected.
Step 4 is to derive the final mTSS and final change in mTSS at a given timepoint. In the case of 
not adjudicated subjects the final mTSS will be the mean of the mTSS generated by the 
2 readers. For the final change in mTSS, the change from baseline in mTSS will first be 
calculated for the 2 readers separately, and the final change score will be the mean of these two 
change scores. In the case of adjudicated subjects the final mTSS and final change in mTSS will 
be the mean of the mTSS and change in mTSS generated by the selected reader(s) at step 3 and 
the adjudicator respectively. The final erosion score, JSN score, and change in erosion and JSN 
score will be derived in the similar way as mTSS.

Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire for Medication (TSQM)
TSQM scale scores are computed by adding the items loading on each factor. The lowest 
possible score is subtracted from this composite score and divided by the greatest possible score 
minus the lowest possible score. This provides a transformed score between 0 and 1 that should 
be multiplied by 100. Note that only one item may be missing from each scale before the 
subscale should be considered invalid for that respondent.
EFFECTIVENESS:
([Sum(Item 1 + Item 2 + Item 3) – 3] divided by 18) * 100
If one item is missing
([Sum(Item 1 + Item 2 + Item 3) – 2] divided by 12) * 100
SIDE EFFECTS:
  If Question 4 is answered ‘No’, then score = 100
  Else,
([Sum(Item 5 to Item 8) – 4] divided by 16) * 100
If one item is missing
([Sum(Item 5 to Item 8) – 3] divided by 12) * 100
CONVENIENCE:
([Sum(Item 9 to Item 11) – 3] divided by 18) * 100
If one item is missing
([Sum(Item 9 to Item 11) – 2] divided by 12) * 100
GLOBAL SATISFACTION:
([Sum(Item 12 to Item 14) – 3] divided by 14) * 100
If either Item 12 or 13 is missing
([Sum(Item 12 to Item 14) – 2] divided by 10) * 100
If Item 14 is missing
([Sum(Item 12 and Item 13) – 2] divided by 8) * 100

The following model statement will be used to construct the confidence interval for the binomial 
proportions described in Sections 6.2.3, 6.3.2 and 6.4.2:
    proc freq data = test ;
        by avisitn;

        where TRT01PN = 1 | TRT01PN = 3;
    run;
where the confidence interval for the difference of two independent binomial proportions is 
constructed based on the normal approximation (ie, the Wald method) with continuity correction, 
to adjust for the difference between the normal approximation and the binomial distribution, 
which is a discrete distribution:
(ŜM −Ŝ<) ± (1

M
+ 1
<
W + IX/< × ZŜM(1 −ŜM)
M
+ Ŝ<(1 −Ŝ<)

)
and the confidence interval for the binomial proportions is constructed based on the normal 
approximation to the binomial distribution with continuity correction:
ŜM ± ( 1
