Brief summary:
GSK2330811 is a humanized monoclonal antibody which is in development for systemic sclerosis (SSc), a rare autoimmune disease with high morbidity and mortality. Currently, there are no approved disease modifying therapies and it is an area of high unmet medical need. GSK2330811 has been shown to bind and neutralize Oncostatin M (OSM) that has been associated with fibrosis, vasculopathy and inflammation in a number of diseases. This multi-center, randomized, double-blind (sponsor open), placebo controlled, proof of mechanism study will be the first study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of repeat subcutaneous (SC) doses of GSK2330811 in male and female participants with diffuse cutaneous SSc (dcSSc). Participants with active disease and a disease duration of \<= 60 months will be enrolled. Approximately 24 to 40 participants will be randomized across two sequential cohorts. Cohort 1 will evaluate a repeat-dose predicted to provide sub-maximal inhibition of OSM, leading to a dose escalation decision. Cohort 1 is planned to consist of at least 4 participants, randomized such that 3 participants will receive GSK2330811 100 milligram (mg) and 1 will receive placebo. Cohort 2 is planned to consist of at least 20 participants, randomized such that participants will receive GSK2330811 300 mg and placebo in a 3:1 ratio respectively. The duration of the study is up to 34 weeks including a screening period of up to 6 weeks, treatment period of 12 weeks and follow-up period of 16 weeks.

Detailed description:

Arms: arm 1: During Cohort 1, participants will receive a single dose of GSK2330811 100 mg by SC injection via needle and syringe in to the abdomen, thigh or upper arm by the investigator or designee at every other week from D1 to D71 (total 6 doses) for 10 weeks. Participants will be followed-up up to W28 D197. arm 2: During Cohort 2, participants will receive a single dose of GSK2330811 300 mg by SC injection (3 vials of 1 mL each of GSK2330811 100 mg) via needle and syringe in to the abdomen, thigh or upper arm by the investigator or designee at every other week from D1 to D71 (total 6 doses) for 10 weeks. Participants will be followed-up up to W28 D197. arm 3: During Cohort 1, participants will receive a single dose of placebo by SC injection via needle and syringe in to the abdomen, thigh or upper arm by the investigator or designee at every other week from D1 to D71 (total 6 doses) for 10 weeks. Participants will be followed-up up to W28 D197. arm 4: During Cohort 2, participants will receive a single dose of placebo by SC injection (3 vials of 1 mL each) via needle and syringe in to the abdomen, thigh or upper arm by the investigator or designee at every other week from D1 to D71 (total 6 doses) for 10 weeks. Participants will be followed-up up to W28 D197.
Interventions: intervention 1: GSK2330811 intervention 2: Placebo
Intervention descriptions: intervention 1: GSK2330811 will be provided in vials and packed in 1 vial per carton. Each vial will contain 1.2 mL fill with 1 mL extractable volume at 100 mg/mL. intervention 2: Normal saline (0.9 percent weight per volume sodium chloride).

SYNOPSIS
Protocol Title: A multi-centre, randomized, double-blind (sponsor open), placebo-
controlled, repeat-dose, proof of mechanism study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, 
pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and explore efficacy of GSK2330811 in 
participants with diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis.
Short Title: Proof of mechanism study of GSK2330811 in diffuse cutaneous systemic 
sclerosis.
Rationale: Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a rare autoimmune disease with high morbidity 
and mortality. There are no approved disease-modifying therapies and it is an area of 
high unmet medical need. GSK2330811 is a monoclonal antibody that binds and 
neutralises Oncostatin M (OSM). The biological roles of OSM indicate that blocking 
OSM signalling would be expected to inhibit the key pathologic processes of SSc. This is 
a proof of mechanism study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) 
and pharmacodynamics (PD) of repeat subcutaneous doses of GSK2330811 in 
participants with diffuse cutaneous SSc (dcSSc). 
Objectives and Endpoints:

Objective
Endpoint

To assess the potential for anti-drug 
antibody formation following repeat 
subcutaneous doses of GSK2330811 in  
participants with dcSSc

Incidence and titres of anti-GSK2330811 
antibodies
Additional exploratory endpoints are included to explore the pharmacology of repeat 
subcutaneous doses of GSK2330811 and its effect on selected clinical endpoints and 
biomarkers of fibrosis, inflammation and vasculopathy in the blood and skin.
Overall Design: This is a multi-centre, randomised, double-blind (sponsor open) placebo 
controlled, repeat-dose, proof of mechanism study of subcutaneous administration of 
GSK2330811 in males and females with dcSSc.
Participants with active disease and a disease duration of ≤60 months will be enrolled. 
Mycophenolate and low dose corticosteroids are permitted as background therapies. 
The study includes two sequential cohorts. Cohort 1 will evaluate the safety and 
tolerability of a repeat-dose predicted to provide sub-maximal inhibition of OSM, leading 
to a dose escalation decision. Cohort 2 will then evaluate a repeat-dose predicted to 
provide maximal inhibition of OSM to test proof of mechanism. A Data Review 
Committee will be responsible for determining progression from cohort 1 to cohort 2.
Participants will be randomised in a 3:1 ratio within each cohort to GSK2330811 and 
placebo respectively.
Assessments performed during the study will include skin biopsies, home spirometry 
(forced vital capacity) and an optional skin suction blister procedure for participants in 
cohort 2.
Number of Participants: A minimum of approximately 24 participants and a maximum 
of 40 participants will be randomised across the two cohorts.
Treatment Groups and Duration: Participants in both cohorts will be dosed 
subcutaneously for 10 weeks (total of 6 doses) with either GSK2330811 or placebo. 
Cohort 1 will receive 100 mg GSK2330811 or placebo every other week and cohort 2 
will receive 300 mg GSK2330811 or placebo every other week.
The duration of the study for the participants will be up to 34 weeks including a screening 
period of up to 6 weeks, a treatment period of 12 weeks and a follow-up period of 16 
weeks.

INTRODUCTION
3.1.
Study Rationale
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a rare autoimmume disease with high morbidity and 
mortality. There are no approved disease modifying therapies and it is an area of high 
unmet medical need. This is a proof of mechanism (POM) study to evaluate the safety, 
tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of repeat subcutaneous 
(SC) doses of GSK2330811 in participants with diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis 
(dcSSc).
This is the first study with GSK2330811 in participants with SSc and as such the primary 
objective is to assess the safety and tolerability of repeat-doses of GSK2330811. 
Secondary and exploratory objectives include an assessment of the PK profile and 
immunogenicity of GSK2330811 with repeat-doses and proof of target engagement and 
pharmacology in blood and skin.
Mechanistic biomarkers of fibrosis, inflammation and vasculopathy will be measured in 
blood and skin in order to provide evidence of the modulation of key biological pathways 
involved in the pathogenesis of SSc by GSK2330811. Clinical data on the extent of skin 
and lung involvement by disease will be collected in order to provide further 
understanding of the mechanism of action and potential for clinical efficacy of 
GSK2330811 in SSc. However due to the small size and short duration of the study, no 
formal hypothesis will be tested. 
3.2.
Background
GSK2330811 is a humanised immunoglobulin G1(IgG1) monoclonal antibody that 
binds and neutralises Oncostatin M (OSM) with high affinity and specificity. This 
inhibits the downstream actions of OSM, which include effects on fibroblasts, endothelial 
cells and leukocytes that have been associated with fibrosis, vasculopathy and 
inflammation in a number of diseases.  
OSM is a member of a family of secreted cytokines that also includes interleukin 6, 
leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) and interleukin 31. It is produced by leukocytes,
including macrophages, activated T cells and neutrophils and acts primarily via OSM 
receptors (OSMR) on a broad range of cell types, including chondrocytes, fibroblasts, 
keratinocytes and endothelial cells [Gearing, 1992; Mosley, 1996] to elicit diverse 
biological functions [Hermanns, 2015]. Depending on context, OSM is capable of 
endothelial activation; inducing an acute phase response; inducing cellular proliferation, 
migration or differentiation (e.g. of fibroblasts, epithelial cells and keratinocytes); 
inducing the release of inflammatory mediators and promoting wound healing [Richards, 
2013; Modur, 1997]. OSM also has a secondary role in regulating erythropoesis and 
megakaryopoesis [Tanaka, 2003; Minehata, 2006]. In a mouse model, intranasal OSM 
was able to induce lung fibrosis accompanied by significant increases in alveolar 
macrophages, lymphocytes and neutrophils [Mozaffarian, 2008].

SSc is a multisystem autoimmune disease, in which the interrelated processes of
inflammation, fibrosis and microvascular damage result in a complex pattern of organ-
based complications with high mortality and morbidity [Allanore, 2015]. There are no 
approved drugs for the treatment of SSc and as such it remains an area of great unmet 
medical need [Denton, 2013]. Given the concordance between the known biological roles 
of OSM and the key pathologic processes in SSc (i.e. inflammation, microvascular 
damage and fibrosis), inhibiting OSM signalling in patients with SSc has potential to 
slow or stop the disease process thereby providing a disease-modifying therapeutic 
benefit. This is further supported by elevated serum levels of OSM in SSc patients 
compared to healthy controls, by elevated OSM levels in bronchoalveolar fluid of SSc 
patients with alveolitis and by increased tissue expression of OSM and OSMR in 
involved skin of SSc patients by immunohistochemistry [Feeney, 2015; Mozaffarian, 
2008].
The safety profile of GSK2330811 was evaluated in a repeat-dose subcutaneous toxicity 
study in the cynomolgus monkey. The only observed findings were reduction in red cell 
parameters in peripheral blood and bone marrow with evidence of a regenerative 
reticulocyte response. The no observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) was considered to 
be 300 mg/kg (highest dose tested). Detailed information can be found in the 
Investigator’s Brochure (IB) for GSK2330811 [GlaxoSmithKline Document Number 
2016N284919_00].
There has been one study of GSK2330811 in humans to date. In a Phase I, single dose 
escalation study in healthy males and females of non-childbearing potential, 30 
participants were exposed to GSK2330811 at doses ranging from 0.1 mg/kg to 6.0 mg/kg. 
GSK2330811 was well-tolerated, with no deaths or other serious adverse events (SAEs) 
reported. The pharmacokinetic profile of GSK2330811 was consistent with that of an 
IgG1 monoclonal antibody against a soluble cytokine and high levels of target 
engagement were observed. A dose-dependent, reversible reduction in platelet count was 
observed at dose levels of 1 mg/kg and above, and a low-grade, reduction in haemoglobin 
and red cell count was observed at the highest 6 mg/kg dose level. These effects are both 
felt to relate to inhibition of the known actions of OSM by GSK2330811. Detailed 
information can be found in the IB for GSK2330811 [GlaxoSmithKline Document 
Number 2016N284919_00].


OSM has been shown to modulate haematopoiesis 
through an effect on bone marrow stromal cells and 
haematopoietic progenitors [Wallace, 1995; 
Miyajima, 2000].

OSM also positively influences the maturation of 
megakaryocytes and affects the expression of 
other cytokines in the bone marrow stroma, which 
regulate the bone marrow microenvironment 
[Tanaka, 2003].

A FTIH study of single doses of GSK2330811 in 
healthy participants demonstrated a reversible 
reduction in platelet count at doses between 1 
mg/kg and 6 mg/kg and on red cell parameters 
including haemoglobin and red cell count at the 
highest dose level of 6 mg/kg. A rebound 
reticulocytosis was evident from Day 21 in 
participants receiving 3 mg/kg and 6 mg/kg. Refer 
to IB for details [GlaxoSmithKline Document 
Number 2016N284919_00].

A 3 month repeat-dose cynomolgus monkey 
toxicology study with GSK2330811 showed a 
reduction in red cell parameters and bone marrow 
myeloid to erythroid ratios with a compensatory 
increase in reticulocyte count, without clinical 

Only participants with Haemoglobin  110g/L 
and platelet count 150x109/L   at screening, 
will be included in the study. 

Participants with known bleeding or coagulation 
disorders will be excluded.

Participants receiving treatment with anti-
coagulant medications will be excluded.

Participants receiving treatment with anti-
platelet medications, other than aspirin or non-
steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, will be 
excluded.

Red cell and platelet parameters will be tested 
every two weeks during the treatment period 
(from the Day 1 to the Day 85 (Week 12) visit 
and then at each scheduled visit until the end of 
the follow-up period to ensure careful 
monitoring. 

Dosing of an individual participant will cease if 
haemoglobin <80g/L or platelet count <50x109/L 
with additional testing prior to dosing, if 
necessary (see Section 8.1.4).

Dosing of an individual participant will be held if 
platelet count between 50x109/L  and 75x109/L 
(see Section 8.1.4).

correlates. There was partial to complete recovery 
of red cell parameters and reticulocytes at the end 
of the off drug phase (18 weeks). Refer to IB for 
details [GlaxoSmithKline Document Number 
2016N284919_00].

A marginal decrease in platelet count (platelet 
counts remained within the reference range) was 
also observed in the same 3 month toxicology 
study. These showed partial to complete recovery 
whilst administration of GSK2330811 was ongoing 
and full recovery at the end of the off drug period 
(18 weeks). Refer to IB for details [GlaxoSmithKline 
Document Number 2016N284919_00].

The effect of a submaximal dose of 
GSK2330811 on haematologic parameters will 
be evaluated in an initial safety cohort (cohort 1) 
before a decision is made to enrol participants 
into the higher dose cohort (cohort 2).

Study safety monitoring will include in-stream 
monitoring of haemoglobin and platelet counts 
and planned safety reviews will be conducted 
after 4, 8, 12 participants in cohort 2 (see 
Appendix 3).
Risk of infection (including of reactivation 
of Mycobacterium tuberculosis)

OSM contributes to immunity in synergy with other 
cytokines such as TNF and IL-1 [Barksby, 2006], 
which may protect against infection. Therefore, the 
possibility of an increase in the frequency and/or 
severity of infection following dosing of GSK2330811 
cannot be excluded.

No dose-related fall in white cell count or leukocyte 
subsets was observed in the FTIH single ascending 
dose study of GSK2330811. No excess of infection 
adverse events was observed in participants 
receiving GSK2330811.

In cynomolgus monkey toxicology studies of 
GSK315234, another IgG anti-OSM monoclonal 
antibody with similar affinity for cynomolgus OSM, no 
changes in the adaptive immune response (T cell 
dependent B cell response), white cell count, or

Participants to be screened for Human 
Immunodeficiency virus (HIV), Hepatitis B

Participants with a history of opportunistic 
infections within 6 months of the Day 1 visit or 
recurrent  infection, as determined by the 
investigator, will be excluded. 

Participants with a history of serious infection 
requiring intravenous (IV) antibiotics and/or 
hospitalisation within 3 months prior to the Day 1 
visit will be excluded.

including osteomyelitis, at the Day 1 visit will be 
excluded.

Investigators are expected to assess 
participants’ vaccination status and to follow local 
and/or national guidelines with respect to 
vaccinations.

Participants will not be allowed to receive live 
vaccines within the 4 weeks prior to Day 1, until 
the end of follow-up.

Close monitoring of participants for infections: 
Investigators will be made aware of the 
importance of reporting infections. Participants  
will be asked specifically regarding signs and 
symptoms of infection. White cell count and 
differential and vital signs will be obtained at 
each study visit. In the event of a serious 
infection, study treatment will be discontinued.
Immunogenicity

Biopharmaceutical products may elicit anti-drug 
antibodies (ADA), which have the potential to 
modulate PK, PD and/ or produce adverse 
reactions. 

There were no treatment-related anti-GSK2330811 
antibodies detected in the FTIH study with 
GSK2330811. Treatment unrelated pre-existing 
antibodies were detected in 3 participants at 
baseline including in one participant receiving 
placebo. These were low titre and not associated 
with any specific AEs.

The risk of developing ADA and their clinical 
consequences are mitigated as GSK2330811 is 
a fully humanized monoclonal antibody. Fully 
human antibodies are less immunogenic than 
their murine or chimeric monoclonal 
counterparts [Schroff, 1985; Shawler, 1985].

Serum samples will be collected for detection of 
ADA at timepoints aligned with regulatory 
guidelines [EMA, 2010; FDA, 2009].

Potential Risk of Clinical Significance
Summary of Data/Rationale for Risk
Mitigation Strategy
Hepatotoxicity

A potential risk of hepatotoxicity is inferred from 
studies in OSMRβ knockout mice showing impaired 
hepatocyte proliferation and tissue remodelling with 
impaired liver regeneration after liver injury. 
Administration of OSM ameliorated liver injury in 
wild-type mice [Nakamura, 2004].

However, in a 3 month toxicity study in healthy 
cynomolgus monkeys, treatment with GSK2330811 
was not associated with any observed liver effects 
(no changes in liver weights, macroscopic or 
microscopic changes, or elevations in liver 
transaminases at doses up to and including 300 
mg/kg/week). Refer to IB for details 
[GlaxoSmithKline Document Number 
2016N284919_00].

Mild, isolated, transient elevations in ALT, AST and 
serum bilirubin were observed in a small number of 
participants across treatment groups including 
placebo in the FTIH study of single doses of 
GSK2330811 in healthy participants. Refer to IB for 
details [GlaxoSmithKline Document Number 
2016N284919_00].

Participants will be screened for Hepatitis C and 
Hepatitis B prior to enrolment and excluded if 
positive.

Participants with a current or chronic history of
liver disease or a history of alcohol misuse will 
be excluded.

Only participants with an acceptable ALT and 
serum bilirubin at screening will be included, as 
detailed in the exclusion criteria.

Standard GSK guidance for phase 2 studies on 
liver monitoring and on liver stopping rules as 
detailed in Appendix 7 and Section 8.1.2 , will 
be followed for all participants.
Reproductive Toxicity

Animal reproductive toxicity studies have not yet 
been carried out with GSK2330811. They will be 
conducted in accordance with current ICH 
guidelines for timings.

Animal reproductive toxicity studies have been 
carried out for GSK315234, another IgG anti-OSM 
monoclonal antibody. GSK2330811 and 
GSK315234 antibodies bind different epitopes but 

Pregnant and lactating females will be excluded.

Women of child bearing potential (WOCBP) are 
required to use highly effective methods of 
contraception, as detailed in Appendix 5, from 
28 days prior to the first dosing day (Day 1) until 
the final follow-up visit.

WOCBP will undergo pregnancy testing at 
screening, prior to each study treatment

have similar affinity for OSM in the animal model 
used. No GSK315234 related effects on pregnancy, 
embryofetal development, parturition and lactation 
and on survival, growth and postnatal development 
of the offspring were noted at doses up to 150 
mg/kg/month, the highest dose tested.
administration and at all other study visits. A 
minimum of 28 days between the screening 
pregnancy test and the Day 1 pregnancy test is 
required for WOCBP.

In the event of a pregnancy in a female 
participant, study treatment will be discontinued 
and information on the pregnancy will be 
collected as detailed in Appendix 5. 
Carcinogenicity

There is conflicting evidence for the role of OSM in 
cell proliferation in metastatic cancer. Data is 
primarily from isolated cell-line systems and, 
depending on the cell type, OSM has been shown 
to act both as an anti-proliferative and a proliferative 
factor.

Participants with a history of carcinoma in situ 
and malignant disease will be excluded, with the 
exception of basal cell carcinoma that has been 
completely excised prior to the study.

Adverse event monitoring.
Hypersensitivity

Monoclonal antibodies can be associated with 
systemic hypersensitivity reactions, including 
angioedema, hypotension and anaphylaxis. 

There were no hypersensitivity reactions noted in 
the FTIH study with GSK2330811.

Participants with a history of sensitivity to any of 
the study treatments, or a history of any drug or 
other allergy that in the opinion of the 
investigator precludes their participation, will be 
excluded. 

Administration of GSK2330811 will be 
conducted in a hospital setting, with appropriate 
medical intervention available.

Participants will be informed of the symptoms of 
systemic hypersensitivity reactions and be 
instructed to seek immediate clinical care 
should they occur. This information will also be 
contained within the informed consent form.

implemented in a number of clinical studies in SSc 
patients [Guo, 2015; Khanna, 2016; Rice, 2015].

Possible risks of this procedure may include 
discomfort during and after the biopsy skin punch, 
infection and bleeding.

OSM and OSMR are expressed in the epidermis 
and may play a role in wound healing (Duncan, 
1995; Ihn, 2000; Scaffidi, 2002; Canady, 2013). 
However, there were no adverse events related to 
blister healing reported in the FTIH study with 
GSK2330811.

Participants must have no contraindications 
that, in the opinion of the investigator, would 
preclude skin biopsy.

Participants receiving treatment with anti-
coagulant medications will be excluded.

The biopsy procedure will be performed 
according to local practice, by trained personnel 
using aseptic technique to reduce the risk of 
bleeding and scarring.

Participants will be instructed on the signs and 
symptoms of infection and to contact site 
personnel should these develop.

The number of biopsies obtained will be limited 
to four, the minimum number necessary to 
answer the study questions.
Skin Suction Blister

The skin suction blister technique has been 
performed previously on patients with SSc [Clark, 
2015]. 

Possible risks of this procedure may include 
discomfort during the application of the negative 
pressure, skin infection after drawing the blister and 
hyperpigmentation of the skin at the blister 
induction site. 

OSM and OSMR are expressed in the epidermis, 
and may play a role in wound healing Duncan, 
1995; Ihn, 2000; Scaffidi, 2002; Canady, 2013].

Participants must have no contraindications 
that, in the opinion of the investigator, would 
preclude a skin suction blister.

Participants receiving treatment with anti-
coagulant medications will be excluded.

The risk of infection, although minimal given the 
low invasiveness of the procedure, will be 
reduced by dressing the blister after drawing the 
fluid. Participants will be advised to keep the 
site covered and dry for 24 hours before leaving 
open to the air.

Potential Risk of Clinical Significance
Summary of Data/Rationale for Risk
Mitigation Strategy

Skin suction blisters were well tolerated in the FTIH 
study with GSK2330811 and no adverse events 
related to blister healing were reported.

Skin blister healing will be monitored during the 
study as part of adverse event (AE) review.

Participants will be instructed on the signs and 
symptoms of infection, and to contact site 
personnel should these develop.
More detailed information about the known and expected benefits and risks and reasonably expected adverse events of GSK2330811 may

3.3.2.
Benefit Assessment
Systemic sclerosis is an autoimmune disease with substantial excess morbidity and 
mortality, and for which no licensed disease modifying treatments are available. There is 
pre-clinical evidence to suggest that GSK2330811 may be effective in treating the 
underlying disease process and therefore in ameliorating the signs and symptoms of SSc 
in an individual participant receiving GSK2330811. However, should there be any direct 
benefit to a participant in the study, this may be limited by the short duration of treatment 
in an otherwise chronic disease.
3.3.3.
Overall Benefit:Risk Conclusion
Balanced against the measures taken to minimise them, the potential haematologic and 
other risks to participants in this POM study of GSK2330811 are justified by need to 
develop more effective treatments for SSc.

STUDY DESIGN
5.1.
Overall Design
This is a multi-centre, randomised, double blind (sponsor open), placebo-controlled, 
repeat-dose, proof of mechanism study of subcutaneous administrations of GSK2330811 
in males and females with dcSSc. 
The study includes two sequential cohorts. Cohort 1 is planned to consist of at least 4 
participants and will evaluate a repeat-dose predicted to provide sub-maximal inhibition 
of OSM, leading to a dose escalation decision once at least 4 participants have reached 
the end of the treatment period (see Section 7.2). Cohort 2 will then evaluate a repeat-
dose, predicted to provide maximal inhibition of OSM, to test POM. The study design, 
for both cohorts, is depicted in Figure 1.


Participants who consent will attend the clinical facility for screening and if 
eligible will enter the treatment period of the study within 42 days. 

The screening period will be at least 28 days for WOCBP to allow for a minimum 
28 day interval between the screening and Day 1 pregnancy tests. 

Participants will be randomised in a 3:1 ratio within each cohort to GSK2330811 
and placebo respectively. In cohort 2 treatment allocation will be stratified 
according to mycophenolate concomitant medication status (treated or non-
treated).

Participants will attend the clinical facility to receive a subcutaneous dose of 
GSK2330811 or placebo on Day 1 and then every other week until the sixth and 
final dose at the Day 71 (Week 10) visit.

A Data Review Committee (DRC) will be responsible for determining 
progression from cohort 1 to cohort 2 as described in Section 7.2. 

Interim analyses will be conducted during cohort 2. The rationale, conduct and 
potential outcomes of these are described in Section 10.3.3.

Study safety monitoring will be undertaken in a blinded manner by the Sponsor 
Safety Review Team (SRT) as described in Appendix 3. The Study Medical 
Monitor will also continuously review adverse events and laboratory tests for 
individual participants during the conduct of the study to ensure individual 
participant monitoring.

Skin biopsies will be collected to assess GSK2330811 pharmacology and 
biomarkers at the site of action. Two punch biopsies will be collected from 
involved skin, on the forearm of participants, on both Day 1 and during the Day 
85 (Week 12) visit window.   

A skin suction blister procedure will be performed on involved skin on the 
forearm of participants at selected sites at anytime between the Day 57 (Week 8) 
visit and the Day 85 (Week 12) visit inclusive. This will be optional for 
participants and only performed in participants enrolled in cohort 2. 

After the treatment period, participants will enter a follow-up period of 
approximately 16 weeks.

In addition to study visits, weekly home FVC monitoring will be undertaken 
during the study (from screening until Day 197 (Week 28)).  
5.2.
Number of Participants, Treatment Arms and Duration
Participants with dcSSc, with active disease and a disease duration of ≤ 60 months, will 
be enrolled. A minimum of approximately 24 participants and a maximum of 40 
participants will be randomised across two cohorts. The duration of the study, including 
screening, will be up to 34 weeks for participants.
Participants will be dosed subcutaneously at one of two dose levels every other week for 
10 weeks with either GSK2330811 or placebo.

For cohort 1, an initial 4 participants will be randomised to either GSK2330811 or 
placebo. If a decision is made to expand cohort 1 a further 4 participants will be entered 
into cohort 1. For cohort 2, a minimum of approximately 20  participants will be 
randomised. Participants from Cohort 1 will not be eligible to participate in Cohort 2.
A participant in cohort 1 is evaluable for dose escalation if they have received at least 4 
doses of GSK2330811 or placebo, have reached the end of the treatment period and there 
is a standard haematology result from at least one of the Day 71 (Week 10), Day 85 
(Week 12) or Day113 (Week 16) visits. If any participant in cohort 1 cannot be evaluated 
for dose escalation, additional participants may be recruited and assigned to the same 
treatment sequence at the discretion of the sponsor up to a maximum of 8 evaluable 
participants. 
A participant in cohort 1 or cohort 2 is considered evaluable for study endpoints if they 
have received at least 4 doses of GSK2330811 or placebo and have biopsies at both the 
Day 1 and the Day 85 (Week 12) assessment. Additional participants may be entered into 
the study at the discretion of the sponsor up to a maximum of 40 randomised participants 
in the study overall.
5.3.
Participant and Study Completion
Participants will complete the study once they have completed all assessments on Day 
197 (Week 28). This includes participants who discontinue study treatment early but 
continue in the study.
Participants who withdraw from the study early will complete the study once they have 
completed all assessments at the early withdrawal visit (Section 8.2). 
The end of the study is defined as the date of the last visit of the last participant in the 
study. 
5.4.
Scientific Rationale for Study Design
As this is the first study of GSK2330811 in participants with SSc, and the first repeat 
dose study, the primary endpoint is the safety and tolerability of GSK2330811. In 
addition, this study will include assessments of the pharmacokinetics, target engagement 
and downstream pharmacology of GSK2330811. This will be achieved by assessing 
GSK2330811 and OSM levels in blood and skin blister fluid and mRNA markers of 
GSK2330811 pharmacology in skin biopsies. Skin involvement is emphasised because it 
is readily studied, contributes substantially to the morbidity experienced by patients with 
dcSSc and exemplifies the three major pathological processes involved in the condition.  
The assessment of biomarkers of fibrosis, inflammation and vasculopathy in blood and 
skin biopsies will also be performed, and for this reason the population is enriched for 
early active disease. Changes in these parameters and their association with each other 
and with preliminary measures of clinical efficacy will be assessed. These data are 
intended to provide evidence that GSK2330811 is having an impact on key pathways 
involved in the pathogenesis of SSc.

The purpose of cohort 1 is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of repeat doses of a 
pharmacologically active but submaximal dose of GSK2330811, before escalating to a 
higher dose. 
The 12 week duration of the Treatment Phase is based on the expectation that an effective 
therapy should cause changes in the mechanistic parameters at this timepoint [Guo, 2015; 
Khanna, 2016; Rice, 2015].
The GSK2330811 half life is between 19 to 25 days, consistent with a typical monoclonal 
antibody half life for a soluble cytokine (see IB for GSK2330811) [GlaxoSmithKline 
Document Number 2016N284919_00]. Participants will be followed for approximately 
18 weeks after the last administration of GSK2330811.   
The placebo group is required for a valid evaluation of adverse events attributable to 
GSK2330811 treatment versus those independent of GSK2330811 treatment. The 
placebo participants will also serve as negative controls for the biomarker and efficacy 
assessments. 
Participants will be randomised in a 3:1 ratio to GSK2330811 and placebo respectively. 
This unbalanced allocation ratio means that more participants are available for the 
assessment of within-participant changes in biomarkers after dosing with GSK2330811 
and allows more participants to receive GSK2330811.
Participants will be allowed to continue with some background therapies (Section 7.7 ), 
including mycophenolate and low dose oral corticosteroids to avoid excluding potential 
participants in this rare disease. Other immunosuppressive treatments will be excluded, in 
order to minimise inter-participant variability in this small trial.  
5.5.
Dose Justification
Dose levels for this study have been selected on the basis of PK/PD predictions, data 
from the first time in human study with GSK2330811 and preclinical data. Two dose 
levels (a 100 mg sub-maximal dose to test initial safety and tolerability and a 300 mg 
maximal dose to test POM) have been selected based on predicted target engagement 
after repeat dosing. 
An in-vivo affinity of approximately 0.6 nM was estimated from first time in human  
data. The typical GSK2330811 apparent distribution volume was 11.5 L (95% 
Confidence Interval (CI): 10.2-13.1) and the typical apparent systemic clearance was 14.1 
mL/hr (95% CI: 12.7-15.6). The mean terminal half-life ranged between 19 and 25 days. 
The ratio of GSK2330811 mean concentration between skin blister fluid and plasma  
ranged from 19 to 45%.
A target-mediated drug disposition (TMDD) model (Mager, 2005) using a one-
compartment PK model together with binding kinetics of drug and target was developed 
to predict target engagement after repeat dosing. 
First cohort: 100 mg every other week is considered a sub-maximal pharmacologically 
active dose with a predicted target engagement of approximately 80% in serum at trough.

Second cohort: 300 mg is predicted to achieve engagement of greater than 90% of OSM 
in serum at trough. 
In addition a PKPD model was developed to assess the relationship between drug 
concentration and platelet count reduction [Wang, 2010] including a feedback 
mechanism. According to the model predictions after repeat dosing at 100 mg every other 
week, no participant is anticipated to achieve a CTCAE grade 2 or greater reduction in  
platelet count.
The NOAEL in the 13 weeks cynomolgus monkey study was 300 mg/kg/week. The PK 
exposure achieved in cynomologous monkey was more than 100 times greater than the 
predicted PK exposure in human (steady state AUC 21300ug.h/mL and Cmax 
68.2ug/mL) at a dose of 300 mg every other week [GlaxoSmithKline Document Number 
2016N284919_00].

Repeat assessments during the 42 day screening period: Assessments, including 
laboratory assessments, may be repeated once if determined necessary by the 
investigator, for example: (a) in cases of technical malfunction (e.g. loss of laboratory 
specimen), (b) in the event of a value close enough to the exclusionary threshold that it 
may reasonably lie within the degree of variability of the assay or an indeterminate result; 
(c) if there is reason to believe the result may be false (i.e. contradicts recent result for the 
same parameter). These are repeat assessments and not rescreening events. If the original 
result was exclusionary and is confirmed by repeat testing, the participant will be 
excluded. 
Rescreening: Individuals who do not meet the criteria for participation in this study 
(screen failure) may be rescreened once at the discretion of the investigator.

Dose Modification

Initially, 4 participants will be randomised into cohort 1 and receive a dose of 100 
mg GSK2330811 or placebo (Section 5.5). Cohort 1 may be expanded to 8 
participants in the circumstances described below.

Decisions regarding progression to cohort 2 will be made by the DRC, constituted 
as outlined in Appendix 3.

After 4 evaluable participants (Section 5.2) have reached the end of the treatment 
period (Day 85,Week 12), the DRC will review all available safety and 
tolerability data  for all randomised participants. Any available PK data will also 
be reviewed. Based on this review, the DRC will recommend one of:
1. Progress to cohort 2 at a dose level of 300 mg GSK2330811 as planned.
2. Progress to cohort 2 at a dose level 100 mg and <300 mg GSK2330811. 
3. Expand cohort 1 to recruit an additional 4 participants (3:1 ratio of 
GSK2330811 to placebo).
4. Initiate a full safety review.


If any of the following events occur during cohort 1, with a reasonable possibility 
of being related to GSK2330811, then cohort 1 will be immediately expanded to 8 
participants at the same dose level:
1. A participant receiving GSK2330811 experiences a Haemoglobin <80g/L
(CTCAE Grade 3 or greater event) or
2. A participant receiving GSK2330811 experiences a Platelet count 
<50x109/L (CTCAE Grade 3 or greater event) or
3. A participant receiving GSK2330811 experiences an SAE, provided 
continued recruitment is approved by the DRC.

If cohort 1 is expanded, the DRC will review all available safety and tolerability 
data for all randomised participants after 8 evaluable participants have reached the 
end of the treatment period (Day 85, Week 12). All available PK data will also be 
reviewed. Based on this review, the DRC will recommend one of:
1. Progress to cohort 2 at a dose level of 300 mg GSK2330811.
2. Progress to cohort 2 at a dose level 100 mg and <300 mg GSK2330811. 
3. Initiate a full safety review.

If any of the following occur during cohort 1, with a reasonable possibility of 
being related to GSK2330811, then treatment and recruitment will be halted
and a full safety review undertaken:
1. 2 or more participants on GSK2330811 experience a Haemoglobin <80g/L
(CTCAE Grade 3 or greater event) or
2. 2 or more participants on GSK2330811 experience a Platelet count 
<50x109/L (CTCAE Grade 3 or greater event) or
3. A participant on GSK2330811 experiences a Platelet count <50x109/L 
(CTCAE Grade 3 or greater event) and a different participant on 
GSK2330811 experiences a Haemoglobin <80g/L (CTCAE Grade 3 or 
greater event) or
4. 2 or more participants on GSK2330811 experience an SAE.
A full safety review of cohort 1, if undertaken, will involve the analysis of unblinded data 
by the DRC and relevant GSK personnel (Appendix 3). If the study is halted and 
following the safety review a decision is made to recommence study treatment, 
progression to cohort 2 will only occur after notification of the appropriate Regulatory 
Authorities and Ethics Committees, according to local regulatory requirements.
CTCAE grades are defined using the CTCAE criteria V4.03: June 14, 2010 (refer to 
Appendix 8 for both SI and conventional units). If there is any concern that an abnormal 
laboratory result is spurious, a repeat test will be undertaken before implementing any of 
the actions described in this section.

7.3.
Method of Treatment Assignment
At the time of signing the Informed Consent a unique participant number (eCRF Subject 
Number) will be assigned. The unique participant number will be used to identify 
individual participants during the course of the study.
All participants will be centrally randomized on Day 1 using an Interactive Web 
Response System (IWRS). Before the study is initiated, log in information & directions 
for the IWRS will be provided to each site. Participants will be assigned a unique number 
(randomisation number). Once a randomisation number has been assigned it must not be 
reassigned. The randomisation number encodes the participant’s assignment to one of the 
2 arms of the study, according to the randomisation schedule generated prior to the study 
by the Statistics Department at GSK.
Participants will be randomised to receive GSK2330811 or placebo in a 3:1 ratio.
7.4.
Blinding
This will be a double blind (sponsor open) study where all study staff involved in the 
clinical assessments (which includes the investigator, sub-investigators and other site 
staff) and the participant will be blinded to treatment allocation.
An unblinded pharmacist or designee will be required at site to prepare and dispense the 
study treatment. The unblinded pharmacist will endeavour to ensure that there are no 
differences in temperature or in time taken to dispense following randomisation. The 
unblinded pharmacist is not permitted to communicate the participant’s treatment 
allocation to blinded site staff.  
Unblinded monitors will be assigned to review all pharmacy records, storage and 
procedures.  In addition unblinded monitors and in the event of a Quality Assurance 
audit, the auditor(s) will be allowed access to un-blinded study treatment records at the 
site(s) to verify that randomisation/dispensing has been done accurately.
Sponsor open refers only to specific members of the DRC at defined meetings.  
Committee membership is defined in Appendix 3.  Further details of blinding and how 
the integrity of the study will be maintained will be described in the DRC charter. 
Unblinding of individual participants may occur to ensure appropriate management of a 
participant, e.g. if an SAE is considered by the investigator as being causally related to 
study treament, taking account of the points below:

The investigator or treating physician may unblind a participant’s treatment 
assignment only in the case of a medical emergency OR in the event of a serious 
medical condition when knowledge of the study treatment is essential for the 
appropriate clinical management or welfare of the participant as judged by the 
investigator.


It is preferred (but not required) that the investigator first contacts the medical 
monitor or appropriate GSK study personnel to discuss options before unblinding 
the participant’s treatment assignment.

If GSK personnel are not contacted before the unblinding, the investigator must 
notify GSK as soon as possible after unblinding and within 24 hrs.

The date and reason for the unblinding must be fully documented in the eCRF. 
A participant may continue in the study if that participant’s treatment assignment is 
unblinded, if it remains appropriate for them to do so.
GSK’s Global Clinical Safety and Pharmacovigilance staff may unblind the treatment 
assignment for any participant with an SAE. If the SAE requires that an expedited 
regulatory report be sent to one or more regulatory agencies, a copy of the report, 
identifying the participant’s treatment assignment, may be sent to investigators in 
accordance with local regulations and/or GSK policy.
The IWRS will be programmed with blind-breaking instructions.  
7.5.
Preparation/Handling/Storage/Accountability
A description of the methods and materials required for the preparation of GSK2330811 
will be detailed in SRM.
1.
The unblinded pharmacist or designee must confirm appropriate temperature 
conditions have been maintained during transit for all study treatment received and 
any discrepancies are reported and resolved before use of the study treatment.
2.
Only participants enrolled in the study may receive study treatment and only 
authorized site staff may supply or administer study treatment. All study treatments 
must be stored in a secure, environmentally controlled, and monitored (manual or 
automated) area in accordance with the labeled storage conditions with access 
limited to the investigator and authorized site staff.
3.
The investigator, institution, or the head of the medical institution (where applicable) 
is responsible for study treatment accountability, reconciliation, and record 
maintenance (i.e. receipt, reconciliation, and final disposition records).
4.
Further guidance and information for the final disposition of unused study treatment 
are provided in the Study Reference Manual. 

Under normal conditions of handling and administration, study treatment is not 
expected to pose significant safety risks to site staff. Take adequate precautions to 
avoid direct eye or skin contact and the generation of aerosols or mists. In the case of 
unintentional occupational exposure notify the monitor, Medical Monitor and/or 
GSK study contact.

A Material Safety Data Sheet /equivalent document describing occupational hazards 
and recommended handling precautions either will be provided to the investigator, 
where this is required by local laws, or is available upon request from GSK.

7.6.
Treatment Compliance
Participants will be dosed at the site and will receive study treatment directly from the 
investigator or designee, under medical supervision. The date and time of each dose 
administered in the clinic will be recorded in the source documents. The dose of study 
treatment and study participant identification will be confirmed at the time of dosing by a 
member of the study site staff other than the person administering the study treatment.  
7.7.
Concomitant Therapy
7.7.1.
Permitted medications and Non-Drug Therapies
Medications for the treatment of SSc and concomitant diseases may be taken as long as 
they are not prohibited (Section 7.7.2) and as long as specific requirements listed in
Table 1 are adhered to. All concomitant medications taken during the study will be 
recorded in the eCRF according to the guidelines listed in Table 1.
Any deviations from these specific requirements (for example increase in corticosteroid 
dose >10 mg/day) during screening, that cannot be addressed by extending the screening 
period up to a maximum of 42 days, will result in the participant being a screen failure. In 
this case they may be re-screened as described in Section 6.4.
Any deviations from these requirements during the study (for example, for an urgent 
clinical need) must be documented and may affect the evaluability of the participant. If 
safety concerns are raised by deviations from these requirements they must be discussed 
with the Medical Monitor, who will determine if discontinuation of study treatment is 
warranted.

If the study treatment is discontinued, but the participant has received one or more doses 
of study treatment, the remaining study visits should still be performed including skin 
biopsy and home and laboratory FVC monitoring if this is deemed reasonable in the 
opinion of the Investigator and the participant is willing. In particular, the safety 
assessments should still continue as per protocol. The suction blister procedure will not 
be performed if study treatment is discontinued. If the participant declines any further 
follow-up and chooses to withdraw themselves from the study the investigator should 
make every effort to conduct the Early Withdrawal assessments as described in Section 
8.2 and Section 2.
8.1.2.
Liver Chemistry Stopping Criteria
Liver chemistry stopping and increased monitoring criteria have been designed to 
assure participant safety and evaluate liver event etiology (in alignment with the FDA 
premarketing clinical liver safety guidance). These protocol guidelines are in alignment 
with FDA premarketing clinical liver safety guidance: 
http://www.fda.gov/downloads/Drugs/GuidanceComplianceRegulatoryInformation/Guid
ances/UCM174090.pdf.
Discontinuation of study treatment for abnormal liver tests should be considered by the 
investigator when a participant meets one of the conditions outlined in the algorithm or if 
the investigator believes that it is in the best interest of the participant.

8.1.3.
QTc Stopping Criteria
A participant who meets either of the bulleted criteria below, based on the average of 
triplicate ECG readings, will permanently discontinue dosing:

Discontinuation Criteria: 
1. QTc >530 msec
2. Change from baseline: QTc >60msec

The same QT correction formula must be used for each individual participant to 
determine eligibility for and discontinuation from the study. This formula may not 
be changed or substituted once the participant has been enrolled. For example, if a 
participant is eligible for the protocol based on QTcB, then QTcB must be used 
for discontinuation of this individual participant as well.

Once the QT correction formula has been chosen for a participant’s eligibility, the 
same formula must continue to be used for that participant for all QTc data being 
collected for data analysis. Safety ECGs and other non-protocol specified ECGs 
are an exception.  

The QTc should be based on single or averaged QTc values of triplicate 
electrocardiograms obtained over a brief (e.g. 5-10 minute) recording period (see 
Section 9.4.3).  
8.1.4.
Haematological Stopping Criteria
Study treatment will be permanently discontinued for a participant if any of the following 
haematological stopping criteria are met:

Haemoglobin <80g/L (i.e. CTCAE Grade 3 or greater event), confirmed by a 
repeat sample obtained before the next scheduled dose of GSK2330811.
o
If haemoglobin is <90g/L at any point during the dosing period (Day 1 to 
the Day 71 visit), a repeat haemoglobin will be required within 72 hrs of 
the next scheduled dose, with a result ≥80g/L obtained prior to dosing.

Platelet count <50x109/L  (i.e. CTCAE Grade 3 or greater event), confirmed by a 
repeat sample obtained before the next scheduled dose of GSK2330811).
o
If platelet count is <100x109/L  during the dosing period (Day 1 to the Day 
71 visit), a repeat platelet count will be required within 72 hrs of the next 
scheduled dose. Dosing may proceed if platelet count is ≥75x109/L  (see 
also Section 8.1.5).
See Appendix 8 for CTCAE criteria in both SI and conventional units.
8.1.5.
Temporary Discontinuation
Study treatment for a participant will be temporarily withheld if the most recent platelet 
count taken within 72 hours of the scheduled dose is 50x109/L  and <75x109/L . In this 
event, scheduled study visit assessments should be performed but the dose must NOT be 
administered.

Once platelet count is  75x109/L study treatment may resume with the next scheduled 
dose. 
8.1.6.
Interrupted Dosing
8.1.6.1.
Study Treatment Restart or Rechallenge
If study treatment is stopped for any reason other than a temporary discontinuation as 
outlined in Section 8.1.5 it will not be restarted.
8.1.6.2.
Missed Doses
A missed dose is defined as a participant not receiving a dose during the visit window. If 
a study treatment dose is missed and a temporary or permanent discontinuation of 
treatment criterion has not been reached (see Section 8.1) then this will be reported as a 
protocol deviation. Study treatment will continue at the next scheduled dosing visit. 
‘Catch-up’ doses must not be administered between study visits. 
8.2.
Withdrawal from the Study
A participant may withdraw from the study at any time at his/her own request, or may be 
withdrawn at any time at the discretion of the investigator for safety, behavioural, 
compliance or administrative reasons.
If the participant withdraws consent for disclosure of future information, the sponsor may 
retain and continue to use any data collected before such a withdrawal of consent.
If a participant withdraws from the study, he/she may request destruction of any samples 
taken and not tested, and the investigator must document this in the site study records.
The Early Withdrawal Visit will only be performed if the participant withdraws from the 
study and therefore will not undertake any further scheduled visits. The early withdrawal 
visit will only be performed if the participant is willing (see Section 2 for assessments to 
be performed at this visit). 
8.3.
Lost to Follow-Up
A participant will be considered lost to follow-up if he or she repeatedly fails to return for 
scheduled visits and is unable to be contacted by the study site. 
The following actions must be taken if a participant fails to return to the clinic for a 
required study visit:

The site must attempt to contact the participant and reschedule the missed visit as 
soon as possible and counsel the participant on the importance of maintaining the 
assigned visit schedule and ascertain whether or not the participant wishes to and/or 
should continue in the study.

Before a participant is deemed lost to follow up, the investigator or designee must 
make every effort to regain contact with the participant (where possible, 3 telephone 
calls and, if necessary, a certified letter to the participant’s last known mailing

49
address or local equivalent methods). These contact attempts should be documented 
in the participant’s medical record.

Should the participant continue to be unreachable, he/she will be considered to have 
withdrawn from the study with a primary reason of lost to follow-up. 
9.
STUDY ASSESSMENTS AND PROCEDURES

Study procedures and their timing are summarized in Section 2 (Schedule of 
Activities). 

If an on-site visit is not possible due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a virtual or
telephone visit can be performed for any study assessments that can be conducted 
remotely (e.g. AE/SAE review & concomitant medication review) at the Day 113, 
Day 155, Day 197 and Early Withdrawal (if required) visits. The AE/SAE review 
and concomitant medication review should be conducted in a manner as similar as 
possible (in terms of language and approach) as would have taken place with an in-
person clinic visit.

Protocol waivers or exemptions are not allowed. 

Immediate safety concerns should be discussed with the sponsor immediately upon 
occurrence or awareness to determine if the participant should continue or 
discontinue study treatment.

Adherence to the study design requirements, including those specified in the SoA, is 
essential and required for study conduct.

All screening evaluations must be completed and reviewed to confirm that potential 
participants meet all eligibility criteria. The investigator will maintain a screening 
log to record details of all participants screened and to confirm eligibility or record 
reasons for screening failure, as applicable. 

The maximum amount of blood collected from each participant over the duration of 
the study, including any extra assessments that may be required, will not exceed 500 
mL.

Repeat or unscheduled samples may be taken for safety reasons or for technical 
issues with the samples.

All samples (blood, urine, blister fluid or skin biopsy) will be retained for a 
maximum of 15 years after the last participant completes the trial.
Order of Assessments throughout the study
Scleroderma Health Assessment Questionnaire (SHAQ), Physician Global Assessment of 
Disease Activity, 12-lead ECG and vital signs should occur before the blood draw. On 
the study visits where the assessments include a skin biopsy or suction blister these 
should be performed after the mRSS assessment and blood draw. 
Supplementary study conduct information not mandated to be present in this protocol is 
provided in the SRM. The SRM will provide the site personnel with administrative and 
detailed technical information that does not impact participant safety.

Screening Assessments
Information collected during the screening assessments described below represents key 
data that identifies and defines the participant’s status.
Informed Consent: Informed consent will be obtained from the participant prior to 
initiation of any study procedures or study-specific data collection. 
During the screening period screening assessments will be performed as outlined in the 
Section 2 and include:
Demographic parameters: Will be captured: year of birth, sex, race and ethnicity.
Medical history: Will be assessed as related to the inclusion/exclusion criteria listed in 
Section 6 (as detailed in the eCRF). 
Respiratory Tests: 
1. Respiratory Laboratory Tests (FVC and DLCO) for Eligibility.
Hospital based lung function equipment will be used to measure lung function tests and 
be overseen by a respiratory physiologist. Lung function tests will be recorded whilst the 
participant is in a sitting position (if taken whilst the participant is on the bed, their legs 
should be over the edge) and may be repeated, until technically acceptable measurements 
have been made. The respiratory laboratory measured FVC and DLCO will be recorded 
in the eCRF. 
2. Home Spirometry (FVC).
The rate of decline in daily FVC, measured at home via a hand held spirometer, in 
patients with IPF has been shown to be highly predictive of outcome and subsequent 
mortality (Russell, 2016). Training on use of the hand held spirometer will be given 
during the screening visit and a refresher course offered at Day 1. After initial training, 
three FVC readings will be obtained and recorded by the participant at the first screening 
visit. The participant will then continue to measure weekly FVC on a day convenient to 
them throughout the screening period and until the end of the study. The participant will 
enter the readings into their paper diary. The paper diary entries will be transcribed into 
the eCRF.  
Baseline Assessments taken at Day 1 only
Autoantibodies: To aid patient characterisation and potential future stratification a blood 
sample will be taken on Day 1 for assessment of autoantibody status, including but not 
limited to Anti-Scl-70, Anti-centromere and Anti-RNAPIII. 
Medical History: Medical history will include SSc-related factors, smoking and 
cardiovascular medical history / risk factors and information from the participant’s most 
recent lung HRCT scan, if available, as detailed in the eCRF.

Efficacy Assessments
9.1.1.
FVC
Respiratory Laboratory Test
FVC will be measured using hospital based lung function equipment at the timepoints 
specified in Section 2 and will be overseen by a respiratory physiologist, as described for 
screening tests in Section 9. 
Home Spirometry
Weekly FVC (triplicate readings), at a day convenient to the participant, will be
performed by the participant using a hand held spirometer and entered into the 
participant’s paper diary, as described for screening tests in Section 9. 
9.1.2.
Scleroderma Health Assessment Questionnaire (SHAQ)
The participant will complete a Scleroderma Health Assessment Questionnaire (SHAQ) 
(Steen, 1997; Pope, 2011) at the time points specified in Section 2. The SHAQ is 
comprised of:

The Health Assessment Questionnaire Disability Index (HAQ-DI) (21 items 
across 8 domains) that assesses physical function

6 individual Visual Analogue Scales assessing the impact of each of the following 
symptoms on activities of daily living: 
o
Pain
o
Gastrointestinal involvement 
o
Lung involvement
o
Vascular (Raynaud’s Phenomenon) 
o
Digital Ulcers
o
Patient Global Assessment of Disease Activity
The SHAQ will be completed by the participant during scheduled clinic visits and before 
any other assessments. 
9.1.3.
Physician Global Assessment of Disease Activity (PhGA)
The investigator or physician designee only will complete a global assessment of disease 
activity using the physician global assessment (PhGA), at the time points specified in 
Section 2. This is a single item numeric rating scale (See SRM for full details).

Adverse Events
The definitions of an AE or SAE can be found in Appendix 4.
The investigator and any designees are responsible for detecting, documenting, and 
reporting events that meet the definition of an AE or SAE and remain responsible for 
following up AEs that are serious, considered related to the study treatment or the study, 
or that caused the participant to discontinue the study treatment (see Section 8). 
9.2.1.
Time Period and Frequency for Collecting AE and SAE 
Information
All SAEs will be collected from the signing of the ICF until Day 197 (Week 28, final 
follow-up visit) at the time points specified in Section 2.
All AEs will be collected from the start of treatment (Day 1) until Day 197 (Week 28, 
final  follow-up visit) at the time points specified in Section 2.
Medical occurrences that begin before the start of study treatment but after obtaining 
informed consent will be recorded on the Medical History/Current Medical Conditions 
section of the case report form (eCRF) not the AE section.
All SAEs will be recorded and reported to the sponsor or designee within 24 hours of the 
site becoming aware, as indicated in Appendix 4. The investigator will submit any 
updated SAE data to the sponsor within 24 hours of it being available.
Investigators are not obligated to actively seek AEs or SAEs in former study participants. 
However, if the investigator learns of any SAE, including a death, at any time after a 
participant has been discharged from the study, and he/she considers the event to be 
reasonably related to the study treatment or study participation, the investigator must 
promptly notify the sponsor.
The method of recording, evaluating, and assessing causality of AEs and SAEs and the 
procedures for completing and transmitting SAE reports are provided in Appendix 4.
9.2.2.
Method of Detecting AEs and SAEs
Care will be taken not to introduce bias when detecting AE and/or SAE. Open-ended and 
non-leading verbal questioning of the participant is the preferred method to inquire about 
AE occurrence.

9.2.3.
Follow-up of AEs and SAEs
After the initial AE/SAE report, the investigator is required to proactively follow each 
participant at subsequent visits/contacts. All SAEs will be followed until the event is 
resolved, stabilized, otherwise explained, or the participant is lost to follow-up (as 
defined in Section 8.3). Further information on follow-up procedures is given in 
Appendix 4.
9.2.4.
Regulatory Reporting Requirements for SAEs
Prompt notification by the investigator to the sponsor of a SAE is essential so that legal 
obligations and ethical responsibilities towards the safety of participants and the safety of 
a study treatment under clinical investigation are met.
The sponsor has a legal responsibility to notify both the local regulatory authority and 
other regulatory agencies about the safety of a study treatment under clinical 
investigation. The sponsor will comply with country-specific regulatory requirements 
relating to safety reporting to the regulatory authority, Institutional Review Boards 
(IRB)/Independent Ethics Committees (IEC), and investigators.
Investigator safety reports must be prepared for suspected unexpected serious adverse 
reactions according to local regulatory requirements and sponsor policy and forwarded to 
investigators as necessary.
An investigator who receives an investigator safety report describing a SAE or other 
specific safety information e.g. summary or listing of SAE from the sponsor will review 
and then file it along with the Investigator’s Brochure and will notify the IRB/IEC, if 
appropriate according to local requirements.
9.2.5.
Cardiovascular and Death Events
For any cardiovascular events detailed in Appendix 4 and all deaths, whether or not they 
are considered SAEs, specific Cardiovascular (CV) and Death sections of the CRF will 
be required to be completed. These sections include questions regarding cardiovascular 
(including sudden cardiac death) and non-cardiovascular death. 
The CV CRFs are presented as queries in response to reporting of certain CV MedDRA 
terms. The CV information should be recorded in the specific cardiovascular section of 
the CRF within one week of receipt of a CV Event data query prompting its completion. 
The Death CRF is provided immediately after the occurrence or outcome of death is 
reported. Initial and follow-up reports regarding death must be completed within one 
week of when the death is reported.
9.2.6.
Pregnancy

Details of all pregnancies in female participants and female partners of male 
participants will be collected after the start of study treatment and until Day 197 
(Week 28, final follow-up) visit.

55

If a pregnancy is reported, the investigator should inform GSK within 24 hours of 
learning of the pregnancy and should follow the procedures outlined in Appendix 5.

Abnormal pregnancy outcomes (e.g. spontaneous abortion, fetal death, stillbirth, 
congenital anomalies, ectopic pregnancy) are considered SAE.
9.3.
Treatment of Overdose
For this study, any dose of GSK2330811 greater than 100 mg SC every other week for 
cohort 1 and 300 mg (or other dose as determined by DRC) SC every other week for 
cohort 2 after taking into account visit windows, will be considered an overdose.
GSK does not recommend specific treatment for an overdose.
In the event of an overdose, the investigator/treating physician should:
1. Contact the Medical Monitor within 48hrs of the site becoming aware.
2. Monitor the participant at least weekly for AE/SAE and laboratory abnormalities 
(including but not limited to full blood count / complete blood count and liver 
function tests) for 2 weeks, and thereafter as advised by the Medical Monitor.
3. Obtain a plasma sample for PK analysis within 7 days from the date of the last 
dose of study treatment if requested by the Medical Monitor (determined on a 
case-by-case basis).
4. Document the quantity of the excess dose in the CRF.
Decisions regarding dose interruptions will be made by the investigator in consultation 
with the Medical Monitor.
9.4.
Safety Assessments
Planned time points for all safety assessments are provided in Section 2.
9.4.1.
Physical Examinations
A complete physical examination will include, at a minimum, assessments of the Skin, 
Cardiovascular, Respiratory, Gastrointestinal and Neurological systems. Height and 
weight will also be measured and recorded.
A brief physical examination will include, at a minimum, assessments of the skin, lungs, 
cardiovascular system, and abdomen (liver and spleen).
Investigators should pay special attention to clinical signs related to previous serious 
illnesses.
9.4.2.
Vital Signs
Single vital signs will be measured in a seated or semi-supine position after 5 minutes of 
rest and will include temperature, systolic and diastolic blood pressure and pulse rate.

Blood pressure and pulse measurements will be assessed with a completely automated 
device. Manual techniques will be used only if an automated device is not available.
9.4.3.
Electrocardiograms
12-lead ECGs will be obtained as outlined in Section 2 using an ECG machine that 
automatically calculates the heart rate and measures PR, QRS, QT, and QTc intervals. 
Refer to Section 8.1.3 for QTc withdrawal criteria.
Where single ECG measurements are obtained, if the QTc measurement fulfils a QTc 
withdrawal criterion an additional two QTc readings will be obtained and the average of 
these three measurements will be used.
When triplicate ECG are required, 3 individual ECG tracings should be obtained as 
closely as possible in succession, but no more than 2 minutes apart. The full set of 
triplicates should be completed in less than 4 minutes.
9.4.4.
Clinical Safety Laboratory Assessments
Refer to Appendix 2 for the list of clinical laboratory tests to be performed and to Section 
2 for the timing and frequency. The tests include routine clinical safety laboratory 
assessments and additional haematology assessments related to mechanisms of anaemia 
and thrombocytopenia.
The investigator must review the laboratory report, document this review, and record any 
clinically relevant changes occurring during the study in the AE section of the CRF. The 
laboratory reports must be filed with the source documents. Clinically significant 
abnormal laboratory findings are those which are not associated with the underlying 
disease, unless judged by the investigator to be more severe than expected for the 
participant's condition.
All laboratory tests with values considered clinically significantly abnormal during 
participation in the study should be repeated until the values return to normal or baseline 
or are no longer considered significantly abnormal by the investigator or medical 
monitor. 
If such values do not return to normal/baseline within a period of time judged reasonable 
by the investigator, the etiology should be identified and the sponsor notified.
All laboratory assessments, as defined in Appendix 2, must be conducted in accordance 
with the SRM and the Section 2.
If laboratory values from non-protocol specified laboratory assessments performed at the 
institution’s local laboratory require a change in participant management or are 
considered clinically significant by the investigator (e.g. SAE or AE or dose 
modification), this must be documented in the eCRF.
9.4.5.
Immunogenicity Assessments
Serum samples from whole blood will be collected as specified in Section 2. Washout 
samples will be collected at the follow-up visit to minimise interference of circulating 
study treatment in the antibody assessments. Testing will be performed using a tiered 
approach involving screening, confirmation and titration [EMA, 2010; FDA, 2009]

performed by Clinical Immunology, GlaxoSmithKline. If sera contain potential anti-
GSK2330811 antibodies in the screening assessment, they will be confirmed by 
immunocompetition using excess drug, followed by a titration assay. Results will include 
the incidence of immunogenicity and titres. Samples testing positive for anti-
GSK2330811 antibodies may be further characterised for the presence of GSK2330811 
neutralizing activity (NAb).
9.5.
Pharmacokinetics
Blood samples will be collected for measurement of plasma concentrations of 
GSK2330811 at the time points specified in Section 2. The actual date and time (24-hour 
clock time) of each sample will be recorded. Plasma analysis will be performed by PTS-
Bioanalysis, GlaxoSmithKline. Concentrations of GSK2330811 will be measured in 
plasma samples using the currently approved bioanalytical methodology. Raw data will 
be archived at the bioanalytical site. Instructions for the collection, processing, storage 
and shipping procedures are provided in the SRM.

Skin Biopsy
In addition, an optional skin suction blister procedure will be performed at selected sites 
for consenting participants enrolled in cohort 2. Suction blister fluid will be collected 
between the Day 57 (Week 8) visit and the Day 85 (Week 12) visit inclusive. 
The results of some of the exploratory biomarker investigations (for example proteomic 
and transcriptomic analysis in blood samples) may be reported separately from the main 
clinical study report.
9.8.1.
Exploratory Biomarkers in Blood
Serum and plasma samples for blood biomarkers including CRP will be collected at the 
timepoints specified in Section 2, to explore changes in levels in response to 
GSK2330811.  Note a CRP measurement is taken at more clinical visits than the 
remaining exploratory biomarkers. Instructions for the collection and handling of 
biological samples will be described in the SRM. Markers may include (but are not 
restricted to):

Fibrosis markers, such as enhanced liver fibrosis (ELF) test and markers of 
collagen turnover.

Inflammation markers, such as IL-6 and CRP.

Vasculopathy markers, such as vWF and VEGF.
Completion of biomarker analysis or emerging evidence in the scientific literature may 
trigger further transcriptomic and proteomic analysis for determining the impact of 
GSK2330811 on pathways of interest and for research related to SSc. Transcriptomic 
analysis may be conducted on blood samples using microarray technology, and/or 
alternative equivalent technologies, which facilitates the simultaneous measurement of 
the relative abundances of thousands of RNA species resulting in a transcriptome profile 
for a skin biopsy sample. The same samples may also be used to confirm findings by 
application of alternative technologies. 
In addition serum samples may undergo proteomic analysis using SomaLogic SOMAscan 
and / or alternative equivalent technologies which facilitate the simultaneous 
measurement of multiple protein species resulting in a proteomic profile. Instructions for 
the collection and handling of biological samples will be described in the SRM.
9.8.2.
Exploratory Biomarkers in Skin Biopsy
Two skin punch biopsies, 3 mm in size, will be collected from clinically involved skin 
(mRSS ≥ 1), preferably hairless, on the forearm of participants, on Day 1 (pre-dose) and 
also on Day 85.  All biopsies for a participant should be collected from the same forearm 
following SRM recommendations. At both timepoints, one biopsy sample will be 
evaluated histologically while the second biopsy sample will be evaluated by 
transcriptomic analysis. Biopsy quality assessments may be performed during the study

as described in the SRM. Details of the biomarker skin biopsy sample processing, 
storage, quality assessments and shipping procedures are provided in the SRM. 
Histopathological assessments of the biopsy will explore changes in levels of disease 
biomarkers (protein and / or mRNA and / or pathological evaluation) in response to 
GSK2330811. Markers may include (but are not restricted to):

Fibrosis markers, such as αSMA to assess changes in myofibroblast numbers.

Inflammation markers, such as changes in numbers of CD3+ T cells.

Vasculopathy markers, such as changes in CD31+ endothelial cells.
Transcriptomic analysis will determine the effect of GSK2330811 on OSM and disease 
related gene expression. Gene expression will be measured using microarray technology, 
and/or alternative equivalent technologies, which facilitates the simultaneous 
measurement of the relative abundances of thousands of RNA species resulting in a 
transcriptome profile for a skin biopsy sample. The same samples may also be used to 
confirm findings by application of alternative technologies. Genes may include but are 
not restricted to: 

OSM related genes such as SOCS3 and JAK2.

Fibrosis markers, such as THBS1 and COMP. 
9.8.3.
PK and PD in Suction Blister Fluid
Skin suction blisters provide a minimally invasive opportunity to study skin PK and PD 
[Kuhns, 1992]. The dermal suction blister fluid is representative of skin interstitial fluid 
without affecting normal dermal vascular endothelium [Worm, 1981].
Participants at selected sites have the option to undergo a dermal suction blister 
assessment between the Day 57 (Week 8) visit and Day 85 (Week 12) visit inclusive. 
Suction blister fluid is required from a minimum of 6 participants on GSK2330811 in 
order to explore the PK and target engagement of GSK2330811 in skin. Participants who 
do not wish to participate in the blister assessment may still participate in the study. 
Suction blisters will be induced over a period of approximately 2 hours on involved skin 
(mRSS ≥ 1), preferably hairless, of either forearm. Blister fluid will then be aspirated. 
Details of the induction, aspiration, processing, storage and shipping of samples will be 
described in the SRM.
Markers may include (but are not restricted to):

Total OSM

PK

Free OSM

STATISTICAL CONSIDERATIONS
10.1.
Sample Size Determination
No formal sample size calculations have been conducted as the sample size is based on 
feasibility.
The primary objective is safety and tolerability, where for cohort 1 an initial cohort of 
four participants will be randomised to either GSK2330811 or placebo in a 3:1 ratio. In 
cohort 2 a minimum of approximately 20 and a maximum of 36 participants will be 
randomised to GSK2330811 or placebo in a 3:1 ratio. 
Table 3 illustrates the credible interval for observed safety events in the GSK2330811 
group in cohorts 1 and 2. This uses a Bayesian approach assuming a non-informative 
conjugate prior distribution Beta(1,1). This illustrates that if one event in three 
participants is observed, for example, then a true rate of 0.806 for that safety event cannot 
be ruled out.

For information, for the exploratory endpoint of fibrosis log (PIIINP) assuming an 
SD=0.521 (Lee, 2001) and a sample size of 15 participants receiving GSK2330811 and 5 
receiving placebo, it is estimated that the lower and upper bounds of the 95% confidence 
interval for the comparison of GSK2330811 to Placebo will be within 0.565 of the point 
estimate. This calculation is based on a two tailed Type I error rate of 5%. The difference 
in log (PIIINP) between healthy volunteers and Systemic Sclerosis patients was 0.42 in 
an observational study (Lee, 2001).
Within the defined range, the final number of participants recruited may depend on an 
interim sample size re-estimation. 
10.2.
Populations for Analyses
For purposes of analysis, the following populations are defined:
Population
Description
Enrolled 
All participants who sign the ICF.
Safety
All randomised participants who take at least 1 dose of study 
treatment. Participants will be analysed according to the treatment 
they actually received.
Pharmacokinetic
The ‘PK Population' is defined as participants in the ‘Safety’ 
population who received an active dose and for whom a 
pharmacokinetic sample was obtained and analysed. This 
population is used for the summary of PK data only. In the case of 
PKPD, the Safety Population is used so that participants receiving 
placebo can be included.
All participants that receive at least 4 doses of GSK2330811 or placebo and have biopsies 
at both Day 1 and the Day 85 (Week 12) assessment will be considered evaluable.

Statistical Analyses
10.3.1.
Safety Analyses
All safety analyses will be performed on the Safety Population. 
Endpoint
Statistical Analysis Methods
Primary and 
Secondary
No formal statistical testing will be performed on safety data. 
If deemed appropriate posterior probabilities of the true rate of an adverse event 
of interest may be calculated using a non-informative prior distribution.
Clinical interpretation will be based upon review and displays of adverse events, 
disease related events, laboratory values and vital signs. The principal 
consideration in this evaluation will be the investigator-reported relationships of 
either adverse events or laboratory abnormalities to investigational product.
Safety data including immunogenicity data will be presented in tabular and/or 
graphical format and summarized descriptively according to GSK’s Integrated 
Data Standards Library (IDSL) standard.
Target Engagement will be presented in tabular and graphical format and 
summarized descriptively according to GSK’s IDSL standard for 
Pharmacodynamic endpoints.
Sparse blood sampling is being implemented in this study to allow the full 
pharmacokinetic profile for each participant to be reconstructed using Bayesian 
prediction from a population pharmacokinetic model using Non Linear Mixed 
Effect Model (NONMEM) version VII or higher and determine the exposure over 
the dosing interval (AUC (0- τ)), apparent systemic clearance (CL/F), and 
apparent volume of distribution (Vss/F).
Plasma GSK2330811 concentration data will be presented in tabular and 
graphical format and summarized descriptively according to GSK’s IDSL 
standards.
Exploratory
Will be described in the reporting and analysis plan (RAP). 
10.3.2.
Other Analyses
PK, pharmacodynamic and biomarker exploratory analyses will be described in the RAP.  
The analysis approach for exploratory biomarkers will be:

Relationships between endpoints, explored graphically and using statistical 
measures of consistency if data allow.

Profiles / Trends over time of individual endpoints


Inference using posterior probabilities of the true within participant change from 
baseline and true between group treatment difference using non-informative prior 
distributions.
In addition to the univariate analysis of the change from baseline in each biomarker, a 
multivariate analysis of endpoints of several biomarkers of fibrosis may also be 
performed.
The primary between-group analysis will be between the placebo and GSK2330811 
groups.  However if a difference in baseline levels of key biomarkers of fibrosis is 
observed by mycophenolate use then an alternative primary comparison will be 
considered.
The following PK/PD analyses will be conducted if data permit:

To examine the relationship between plasma concentrations of GSK2330811, and 
target OSM concentration (total). 

To examine the relationship between plasma concentrations of GSK2330811, and 
platelet count.  
10.3.3.
Interim Analyses
In line with routine pharmacovigilance, an internal GSK SRT will review blinded safety 
data at appropriate intervals during the study conduct. See Appendix 3 for further details.
For the purposes of dose escalation a dose escalation review will occur once the 
appropriate data from cohort 1 has been collected. This dose escalation review along with 
the interim analyses outlined below will be conducted by the DRC. The activities of these 
and how the study integrity will be maintained are included in the DRC charter.
For the purpose of assessing target engagement, an unblinded interim analysis of PD and 
PK data will occur once an appropriate number of cohort 2 participants have completed 
the day 57 (Week 8) visit.  The baseline total OSM and mean target engagement relative 
to the modelled predictions will be considered.  
An interim analysis may be conducted to assess the baseline variability of key biomarkers 
once at least 16 participants have been randomised into cohort 2 of the study. This may 
lead to the adjustment of the biomarker assessment strategy. 
An unblinded sample size re-estimation may be conducted once approximately 16 
participants from cohort 2 complete the day 85 (Week 12) visit, where the key systemic 
biomarkers will be reviewed. This may lead to an increase in the sample size up to a 
maximum of 40 participants.
In addition to the formal planned interim analyses, further data reviews may be carried 
out by the DRC and/or senior managers not involved in the study conduct to aid in 
internal decision making. These reviews will have no impact on the conduct of the study.
The RAP will describe the planned interim analyses in greater detail.

Appendix 2: Clinical Laboratory Tests
The tests and calculations detailed in Table 4 and Table 5 will be performed by the 
central laboratory or (for calculated values) by GSK. Local laboratory results are required 
in the event that a participant has a haemoglobin of <90g/L or a platelet count of 
<100x109/L during the dosing period (Day 1 to Day 71). A local laboratory result may 
also be acceptable with pre-approval by GSK.
In circumstances where it is not possible to obtain bloods at site or ship bloods to the 
central lab due to the COVID-19 pandemic, scheduled safety (standard hematology and 
clinical chemistry) labs and pregnancy tests for the Day 113, Day 155, Day 197 and Early 
Withdrawal (if required) visits should be performed if feasible and may be performed 
locally at the clinical site or within the community (all at the discretion of the 
Investigator).
If a local sample is required for haemoglobin or platelet count, the results must be entered 
into the eCRF. A simultaneous unscheduled sample should also be sent for central 
analysis.
The tests detailed in Table 4 and Table 5 represent a minimum set of assessments and this 
list may be expanded if determined necessary by the sponsor.
Additional tests may be performed at any time during the study as determined necessary 
by the investigator or required by local regulations.

Data Review Committee (DRC)
The DRC will conduct the dose escalation and interim analysis reviews of the data. No 
members of the study team involved in the direct day to day conduct of the study or in the 
acquisition of data will take part in the DRC. Full details of membership, timing, blinding 
and decision-making framework for DRC reviews will be described in the DRC charter. 
The DRC membership will vary according to the meeting as follows:
Dose escalation: All available safety, tolerability and PK data from cohort 1 will be 
reviewed by the GSK Study Physician(s), GSK Pharmacokineticist and GSK Statistician 
or appropriate designees.
Interim Analyses: For the assessment of the baseline variability of key systemic 
biomarkers and GSK2330811 target engagement, membership will mirror those involved 
in the dose escalation decisions. The unblinded assessment of the disease biomarkers may 
also be reviewed, as part of the DRC, by the GSK Biology Lead, GSK Early 
Development Leader and GSK Senior Stakeholders.
The DRC may also conduct unblinded reviews on an ad hoc basis if required in 
accordance with the DRC charter.
Publication Policy

The results of this study may be published or presented at scientific meetings. If 
this is foreseen, the investigator agrees to submit all manuscripts or abstracts to 
the sponsor before submission. This allows the sponsor to protect proprietary 
information and to provide comments.

The sponsor will comply with the requirements for publication of study results. In 
accordance with standard editorial and ethical practice, the sponsor will generally 
support publication of multicenter studies only in their entirety and not as 
individual site data. In this case, a coordinating investigator will be designated by 
mutual agreement.

Authorship will be determined by mutual agreement and in line with International 
Committee of Medical Journal Editors authorship requirements.
Dissemination of Clinical Study Data

Where required by applicable regulatory requirements, an investigator signatory 
will be identified for the approval of the clinical study report.  The investigator 
will be provided reasonable access to statistical tables, figures, and relevant 
reports and will have the opportunity to review the complete study results at a 
GSK site or other mutually-agreeable location.

GSK will also provide the investigator with the full summary of the study results.  
The investigator is encouraged to share the summary results with the study 
participants, as appropriate.

GSK will provide the investigator with the randomisation codes for their site only 
after completion of the full statistical analysis.

The procedures and timing for public disclosure of the results summary and for 
development of a manuscript for publication will be in accordance with GSK 
Policy.
Data Quality Assurance

All participant data relating to the study will be recorded on printed or electronic 
CRF unless transmitted to the sponsor or designee electronically (eg, laboratory 
data). The investigator is responsible for verifying that data entries are accurate 
and correct by physically or electronically signing the CRF. 

The investigator must maintain accurate documentation (source data) that 
supports the information entered in the CRF. 

The investigator must permit study-related monitoring, audits, IRB/IEC review, 
and regulatory agency inspections and provide direct access to source data 
documents. 

The sponsor or designee is responsible for the data management of this study 
including quality checking of the data. 

Study monitors will perform ongoing source data verification to confirm that data 
entered into the CRF by authorized site personnel are accurate, complete, and 
verifiable from source documents; that the safety and rights of participants are 
being protected; and that the study is being conducted in accordance with the 
currently approved protocol and any other study agreements, ICH GCP, and all 
applicable regulatory requirements. 

Records and documents, including signed ICF, pertaining to the conduct of this 
study must be retained by the investigator for 25 years after study completion 
unless local regulations or institutional policies require a longer retention period. 
No records may be destroyed during the retention period without the written 
approval of the sponsor. No records may be transferred to another location or 
party without written notification to the sponsor. GSK has defined the retention 
period as 25 years from the issue of the final Clinical Study Report (CSR)/ 
equivalent summary.
Source Documents

Source documents provide evidence for the existence of the participant and 
substantiate the integrity of the data collected. Source documents are filed at the 
investigator’s site.

Data reported on the CRF or entered in the eCRF that are transcribed from source 
documents must be consistent with the source documents or the discrepancies 
must be explained. The investigator may need to request previous medical records 
or transfer records, depending on the study. Also, current medical records must be 
available.

Definition of what constitutes source data can be found in the Source Document 
Agreement.
Study and Site Closure
GSK or its designee reserves the right to close the study site or terminate the study at any 
time for any reason at the sole discretion of GSK. Study sites will be closed upon study 
completion. A study site is considered closed when all required documents and study 
supplies have been collected and a study-site closure visit has been performed.
The investigator may initiate study-site closure at any time, provided there is reasonable 
cause and sufficient notice is given in advance of the intended termination.
Reasons for the early closure of a study site by the sponsor or investigator may include 
but are not limited to:

Failure of the investigator to comply with the protocol, the requirements of the 
IRB/IEC or local health authorities, the sponsor's procedures, or GCP guidelines

Inadequate recruitment of participants by the investigator

Discontinuation of further study treatment development

Appendix 4: Adverse Events: Definitions and Procedures for 
Recording, Evaluating, Follow-up, and Reporting
Definition of AE
AE Definition

An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally 
associated with the use of a study treatment, whether or not considered related to the 
study treatment.

NOTE: An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an 
abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally 
associated with the use of a study treatment.
Events Meeting the AE Definition 

Any abnormal laboratory test results (hematology, clinical chemistry, or urinalysis) 
or other safety assessments (eg, ECG, radiological scans, vital signs measurements), 
including those that worsen from baseline, considered clinically significant in the 
medical and scientific judgment of the investigator (ie, not related to progression of 
underlying disease).

Exacerbation of a chronic or intermittent pre-existing condition including either an 
increase in frequency and/or intensity of the condition.

New conditions detected or diagnosed after study treatment administration even 
though it may have been present before the start of the study.

Signs, symptoms, or the clinical sequelae of a suspected drug-drug interaction.

Signs, symptoms, or the clinical sequelae of a suspected overdose of either study 
treatment or a concomitant medication. Overdose per se will not be reported as an 
AE/SAE unless it is an intentional overdose taken with possible suicidal/self-
harming intent. Such overdoses should be reported regardless of sequelae.

"Lack of efficacy" or "failure of expected pharmacological action" per se will not be 
reported as an AE or SAE. Such instances will be captured in the efficacy 
assessments. However, the signs, symptoms, and/or clinical sequelae resulting from 
lack of efficacy will be reported as AE or SAE if they fulfill the definition of an AE 
or SAE. 

The signs, symptoms, and/or clinical sequelae resulting from lack of efficacy will be 
reported as AE or SAE if they fulfill the definition of an AE or SAE. Also, "lack of 
efficacy" or "failure of expected pharmacological action" constitutes an AE or SAE.

2016N269831_05
CONFIDENTIAL
201247

Events NOT Meeting the AE Definition 

Any clinically significant abnormal laboratory findings or other abnormal safety 
assessments which are associated with the underlying disease, unless judged by the 
investigator to be more severe than expected for the participant’s condition.

The disease/disorder being studied or expected progression, signs, or symptoms of 
the disease/disorder being studied, unless more severe than expected for the 
participant’s condition.

Medical or surgical procedure (eg, endoscopy, appendectomy): the condition that 
leads to the procedure is the AE.

Situations in which an untoward medical occurrence did not occur (social and/or 
convenience admission to a hospital).

Anticipated day-to-day fluctuations of pre-existing disease(s) or condition(s) present 
or detected at the start of the study that do not worsen.
Definition of SAE
If an event is not an AE per definition above, then it cannot be an SAE even if serious 
conditions are met (eg, hospitalization for signs/symptoms of the disease under study, 
death due to progression of disease).
A SAE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose:
a.
Results in death
b.
Is life-threatening
The term 'life-threatening' in the definition of 'serious' refers to an event in which the 
participant was at risk of death at the time of the event. It does not refer to an event, 
which hypothetically might have caused death, if it were more severe.
c.
Requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization
In general, hospitalization signifies that the participant has been detained (usually 
involving at least an overnight stay) at the hospital or emergency ward for observation 
and/or treatment that would not have been appropriate in the physician’s office or 
outpatient setting. Complications that occur during hospitalization are AE. If a 
complication prolongs hospitalization or fulfills any other serious criteria, the event is 
serious. When in doubt as to whether “hospitalization” occurred or was necessary, the AE 
should be considered serious.
Hospitalization for elective treatment of a pre-existing condition that did not worsen from 
baseline is not considered an AE.
d.
Results in persistent disability/incapacity

The term disability means a substantial disruption of a person’s ability to conduct

81
normal life functions.

This definition is not intended to include experiences of relatively minor medical 
significance such as uncomplicated headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, influenza, 
and accidental trauma (eg, sprained ankle) which may interfere with or prevent 
everyday life functions but do not constitute a substantial disruption.
e.
Is a congenital anomaly/birth defect
f.
Other situations:

Medical or scientific judgment should be exercised in deciding whether SAE 
reporting is appropriate in other situations such as important medical events that may 
not be immediately life-threatening or result in death or hospitalization but may 
jeopardize the participant or may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent 
one of the other outcomes listed in the above definition. These events should usually 
be considered serious.
Examples of such events include invasive or malignant cancers, intensive treatment 
in an emergency room or at home for allergic bronchospasm, blood dyscrasias or 
convulsions that do not result in hospitalization, or development of drug dependency 
or drug abuse.
Definition of Cardiovascular Events
Cardiovascular Events (CV) Definition:
Investigators will be required to fill out the specific CV event page of the CRF for the 
following AEs and SAEs:

Myocardial infarction/unstable angina

Congestive heart failure

Arrhythmias

Valvulopathy

Pulmonary hypertension

Cerebrovascular events/stroke and transient ischemic attack

Peripheral arterial thromboembolism

Deep venous thrombosis/pulmonary embolism

Revascularization
Recording AE and SAE
AE and SAE Recording

When an AE/SAE occurs, it is the responsibility of the investigator to review all 
documentation (eg, hospital progress notes, laboratory, and diagnostics reports) 
201247 | Protocol Amendment Protocol amendment 5 01 Apr 2020 | TMF-1737684 | 1.0

related to the event.

The investigator will then record all relevant AE/SAE information in the CRF.

It is not acceptable for the investigator to send photocopies of the participant’s 
medical records to GSK in lieu of completion of the GSK /AE/SAE CRF page.

There may be instances when copies of medical records for certain cases are 
requested by GSK. In this case, all participant identifiers, with the exception of the 
participant number, will be redacted on the copies of the medical records before 
submission to GSK.

The investigator will attempt to establish a diagnosis of the event based on signs, 
symptoms, and/or other clinical information. Whenever possible, the diagnosis (not 
the individual signs/symptoms) will be documented as the AE/SAE.
Assessment of Intensity
The investigator will make an assessment of intensity for each AE and SAE reported 
during the study and assign it to 1 of the following categories: 

Mild: An event that is easily tolerated by the participant, causing minimal discomfort 
and not interfering with everyday activities.

Moderate: An event that causes sufficiently discomfort and interferes with normal 
everyday activities.

Severe: An event that prevents normal everyday activities. An AE that is assessed as 
severe should not be confused with an SAE. Severe is a category utilized for rating 
the intensity of an event; and both AE and SAE can be assessed as severe.
An event is defined as ‘serious’ when it meets at least 1 of the predefined outcomes 
as described in the definition of an SAE, NOT when it is rated as severe.
Assessment of Causality

The investigator is obligated to assess the relationship between study treatment and 
each occurrence of each AE/SAE.

A "reasonable possibility" of a relationship conveys that there are facts, evidence, 
and/or arguments to suggest a causal relationship, rather than a relationship cannot 
be ruled out.

The investigator will use clinical judgment to determine the relationship.

Alternative causes, such as underlying disease(s), concomitant therapy, and other 
risk factors, as well as the temporal relationship of the event to study treatment 
administration will be considered and investigated.

The investigator will also consult the Investigator’s Brochure (IB) and/or Product 
Information, for marketed products, in his/her assessment.

For each AE/SAE, the investigator must document in the medical notes that he/she 
has reviewed the AE/SAE and has provided an assessment of causality.


There may be situations in which an SAE has occurred and the investigator has 
minimal information to include in the initial report to GSK. However, it is very 
important that the investigator always make an assessment of causality for 
every event before the initial transmission of the SAE data to GSK.

The investigator may change his/her opinion of causality in light of follow-up 
information and send an SAE follow-up report with the updated causality 
assessment.

The causality assessment is one of the criteria used when determining regulatory 
reporting requirements.
Follow-up of AE and SAE

The investigator is obligated to perform or arrange for the conduct of supplemental 
measurements and/or evaluations as medically indicated or as requested by GSK to 
elucidate the nature and/or causality of the AE or SAE as fully as possible. This may 
include additional laboratory tests or investigations, histopathological examinations, 
or consultation with other health care professionals.

If a participant dies during participation in the study or during a recognized follow-
up period, the investigator will provide GSK with a copy of any post-mortem 
findings including histopathology.

New or updated information will be recorded in the originally completed CRF.

The investigator will submit any updated SAE data to t GSK within 24 hours of 
receipt of the information.
Reporting of SAE to GSK
SAE Reporting to GSK via Electronic Data Collection Tool

The primary mechanism for reporting SAE to GSK will be the electronic data 
collection tool.

If the electronic system is unavailable for more than 24 hours, then the site will use 
the paper SAE data collection tool (see next section).

The site will enter the SAE data into the electronic system as soon as it becomes 
available.

After the study is completed at a given site, the electronic data collection tool will be 
taken off-line to prevent the entry of new data or changes to existing data.

If a site receives a report of a new SAE from a study participant or receives updated 
data on a previously reported SAE after the electronic data collection tool has been 
taken off-line, then the site can report this information on a paper SAE form (see 
next section) or to the contacts for SAE reporting by telephone.

Contacts for SAE reporting can be found in the SRM.

SAE Reporting to GSK via Paper CRF

Facsimile transmission of the SAE paper CRF is the preferred method to transmit 
this information to the contacts for SAE reporting. 

In rare circumstances and in the absence of facsimile equipment, notification by 
telephone is acceptable with a copy of the SAE data collection tool sent by overnight 
mail or courier service.

Initial notification via telephone does not replace the need for the investigator to 
complete and sign the SAE CRF pages within the designated reporting time frames.

Contacts for SAE reporting can be found in the SRM.

Woman of Childbearing Potential (WOCBP)
A woman is considered fertile following menarche and until becoming post-menopausal 
unless permanently sterile (see below)
Women in the following categories are not considered WOCBP
1. Premenarchal
2. Premenopausal female with ONE of the following:

Documented hysterectomy

Documented bilateral salpingectomy

Documented bilateral oophorectomy
Note:  Documentation can come from the site personnel’s: review of participant’s 
medical records, medical examination, or medical history interview.
3. Postmenopausal female

A postmenopausal state is defined as no menses for 12 months without an 
alternative medical cause. A high follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) level in the 
postmenopausal range may be used to confirm a postmenopausal state in women 
not using hormonal contraception or hormonal replacement therapy (HRT). 
However, in the absence of 12 months of amenorrhea, a single FSH measurement 
is insufficient. 

Females on HRT and whose menopausal status is in doubt will be required to use 
one of the non-hormonal highly effective contraception methods if they wish to 
continue their HRT during the study. Otherwise, they must discontinue HRT to 
allow confirmation of postmenopausal status before study enrollment.
Contraception Guidance
Male participants
Male participants with female partners of child-bearing potential are eligible to 
participate if they agree to ONE of the following during the dosing period and for at least 
126 days (18 weeks) after the last dose of study treatment: 

Are abstinent from penile-vaginal intercourse as their usual and preferred lifestyle 
(abstinent on a long term and persistent basis) and agree to remain abstinent. 

Agree to use a male condom plus an additional method of contraception with a 
failure rate of <1% per year as described in Table 6 when having penile-vaginal 
intercourse with a woman of childbearing potential.


Men with a pregnant or breastfeeding partner must agree to remain abstinent from 
penile-vaginal intercourse or use a male condom during each episode of penile 
penetration during the protocol-defined time frame.

Refrain from donating sperm for the duration of study.
Female participants
Female participants of childbearing potential are eligible to participate if they agree to 
ONE of the following from 28 days prior to first dosing day (Day 1), during the dosing 
period and for at least 126 days (18 weeks) after the last dose of study treatment:

Sexual abstinence 
(Sexual abstinence is considered a highly effective method only if defined as refraining from 
heterosexual intercourse during the entire period of risk associated with the study treatment. 
The reliability of sexual abstinence needs to be evaluated in relation to the duration of the 
study and the preferred and usual lifestyle of the participant.)
NOTES: 
a.
Typical use failure rates may differ from those when used consistently and correctly. Use should be consistent 
with local regulations regarding the use of contraceptive methods for participants in clinical studies. 
Pregnancy Testing

WOCBP will only be included after a confirmed menstrual period and a negative 
highly sensitive urine or serum pregnancy test. 

Additional pregnancy testing must be performed on the day of and prior to each 
dosing during the treatment period and at each visit during the follow-up period and 
as required locally. 

Pregnancy testing will be performed whenever a menstrual cycle is missed or when 
pregnancy is otherwise suspected. 

Urine pregnancy testing will be performed using the test kit provided by the central 
laboratory in accordance with instructions provided in its package insert.

Serum Pregnancy testing will be performed and assayed in the central laboratory. 
Collection of Pregnancy Information
Male participants with partners who become pregnant

Investigator will attempt to collect pregnancy information on any male participant’s 
female partner of a male study participant who becomes pregnant while participating 
in this study. This applies only to participants who receive study treatment.

After obtaining the necessary signed informed consent from the pregnant female 
partner directly, the investigator will record pregnancy information on the 
appropriate form and submit it to GSK within 24 hours of learning of the partner’s 
pregnancy. 

Partner will also be followed to determine the outcome of the pregnancy. 
Information on the status of the mother and child will be forwarded to GSK

Generally, follow-up will be no longer than 6 to 8 weeks following the estimated 
delivery date. Any termination of the pregnancy will be reported regardless of fetal 
status (presence or absence of anomalies) or indication for procedure. 
Female Participants who become pregnant

Investigator will collect pregnancy information on any female participant, who 
becomes pregnant while participating in this study.


Information will be recorded on the appropriate form and submitted to GSK within 
24 hours of learning of a participant's pregnancy. 

Participant will be followed to determine the outcome of the pregnancy. The 
investigator will collect follow-up information on participant and neonate, which will 
be forwarded to GSK Generally, follow-up will not be required for longer than 6 to 8 
weeks beyond the estimated delivery date.  

Any termination of pregnancy will be reported, regardless of fetal status (presence or 
absence of anomalies) or indication for procedure. 

While pregnancy itself is not considered to be an AE or SAE, any pregnancy 
complication or elective termination of a pregnancy will be reported as an AE or 
SAE. 

A spontaneous abortion is always considered to be an SAE and will be reported as 
such.  

Any SAE occurring as a result of a post-study pregnancy which is considered 
reasonably related to the study treatment by the investigator, will be reported to GSK 
as described in Appendix 4. While the investigator is not obligated to actively seek 
this information in former study participants, he or she may learn of an SAE through 
spontaneous reporting. 

Any female participant who becomes pregnant while participating will discontinue 
study treatment.

Appendix 6: Genetics
USE/ANALYSIS OF DNA

Genetic variation may impact a participant’s response to therapy, susceptibility, 
severity and progression of disease. Variable response to therapy may be due to 
genetic determinants that impact drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and 
excretion; mechanism of action of the drug; disease etiology; and/or molecular 
subtype of the disease being treated. Therefore, where local regulations and IRB/IEC 
allow, a blood sample will be collected for DNA analysis

DNA samples will be used for research related to GSK2330811 and / or SSc and 
related diseases. They may also be used to develop tests/assays including diagnostic 
tests) related to GSK2330811 (or study treatments of this drug class), and SSc. 
Genetic research may consist of the analysis of one or more candidate genes or 
analysis of the entire genome

DNA samples will be analyzed if it is hypothesized that this may help further 
understand the clinical data. 

The samples may be analyzed as part of a multi-study assessment of genetic factors 
involved in the response to GSK2330811 or study treatments of this class. The 
results of genetic analyses may be reported in the clinical study report or in a 
separate study summary.

The sponsor will store the DNA samples in a secure storage space with adequate 
measures to protect confidentiality. 

The samples will be retained while research on GSK2330811 (or study treatments of 
this class) or SSc continues but no longer than 15 years after the last participant 
completes the study or other period as per local requirements.

INTRODUCTION 
The purpose of this reporting and analysis plan (RAP) is to describe the analyses to be 
included in the Clinical Study Report for Protocol: 
Protocol Revision Chronology: 
2016N269831_00 13-Sep-2016 
Original 
2016N269831_01 01-Nov-2016 
This amendment was executed in response to the 
FDA request that the participant eligibility criteria be 
modified to include two forms of contraception for 
males and females of childbearing potential. 
2016N269831_02 12-Dec-2016 
This amendment was primarily executed in response 
to an FDA recommendation for a 30-minute 
observation period after each dose is administered. 
It included a clarification that the DRC may also 
review available data for internal decision making. 
2016N269831_03 20-Jul-2017 
This amendment was primarily executed to add the 
additional exploratory endpoints of change in the 
Composite Response Index in diffuse cutaneous 
Systemic Sclerosis (CRISS) and change in Patient 
Global Assessment. It further clarified that the 
'internal decision making' referred to version 2 
would not affect the conduct of the study and may 
involve or be carried out by senior stakeholders. 
In addition, it specified that derived PK parameters 
will not be summarised. PK data will be analysed 
using a Population PK model. Although this will 
provide individual participant parameters, the 
appropriate way of summarising these is by referring 
to the Population PK model itself, not by 
summarising the individual participants’ parameters. 
2016N269831_04 12-Nov-2018 
To clarify that the mycophenolate sodium dose 
allowed is equivalent to the mycophenolate mofetil 
dose, add clarification around use of local labs and 
flexibility to the timing of the interim analyses. 
2016N269831_05 01-Apr-2020 
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, schedule of 
activities (Section 2 in the protocol) updated to 
extend visit windows, allow virtual/ telephone visits 
and allow safety labs and pregnancy tests to be run 
locally during the off-treatment follow-up period.

SUMMARY OF KEY PROTOCOL INFORMATION 
2.1. 
Changes to the Protocol Defined Statistical Analysis Plan 
Changes from the originally planned statistical analysis specified in the protocol are 
outlined in Table 1. Changes from the DRC charter are outlined in Table 2. 
Table 1 
Changes to Protocol Defined Analysis Plan 
Protocol 
Reporting & Analysis Plan 
Statistical Analysis Plan 
Statistical Analysis Plan 
Rationale for Changes 
All available safety, tolerability and 
PK data from cohort 1 will be 
reviewed 
In addition, PD data from cohort 
1 will be reviewed 
The study team has decided 
that an early review of target 
engagement at the low dose 
during the dose escalation 
interim would be beneficial for 
the project. 
Defined enrolled population as all 
subjects who signed the ICF 
Separated out the enrolled 
population into screened 
(signed ICF) and enrolled 
(randomized). 
To allow clearer separation 
between screen failures and 
participants who passed 
screening but did not receive 
study treatment.

Changes to Analysis Plan defined in DRC charter 
DRC 
Reporting & Analysis Plan 
Statistical Analysis Plan 
Statistical Analysis Plan 
Rationale for Changes 
In interim analysis 1, the overview of 
data to be reviewed includes: 
"Safety including Immunogenicity” 
Immunogenicity data will not be 
provided as unavailable at the 
time of reporting and so will not 
form part of reporting effort IA1 
Immunogenicity data is unlikely 
to be conclusive at this early 
interim. If there are unexpected 
PK observations, then the study 
team may request that the 
immunogenicity samples are 
run. 
At interim 2, the question was posed 
‘Does concomitant medication alter 
biomarkers sufficiently to warrant 
changing recruitment strategy?’ 
based on the guideline ‘ 
Exploratory graphical analysis of the 
effect of concomitant medication and 
selected demographic factors on 
baseline levels of key decision-
making biomarkers will be reviewed 
alongside the fitting of a statistical 
model.’ 
The impact of concomitant 
medication on baseline 
biomarkers will not be explored 
at interim 2 and no statistical 
models using concomitant 
medications will be fitted. 
There is no intention to update 
the protocol and change the 
recruitment strategy at this time.  
At interim 2, data planned to be 
reviewed was baseline biomarker, 
safety and population 
In addition to the planned data, 
PK and PD outputs will be 
produced. 
Allow updating of PK/PD 
modelling.

Study Design 
Overview of Study Design and Key Features 
 
Design Features 
o Multi-centre, randomised, double blind (sponsor open), placebo-
controlled, repeat-dose, proof of mechanism study of subcutaneous 
administrations of GSK2330811 in males and females with dcSSc. 
o The study has 2 sequential cohorts. A minimum of approximately 24 
participants and a maximum of 40 participants will be randomized 
across two cohorts. Participants will be randomised in a 3:1 ratio 
within each cohort to GSK2330811 and placebo respectively. In 
cohort 1, a minimum of 4 participants and in cohort 2, a minimum of 
approximately 20 participants will be randomized to either 
GSK2330811 or placebo. 
• Cohort 1 will be used to evaluate a repeat-dose, predicted to provide 
sub-maximal inhibition of Oncostatin M (OSM). Once at least 4 
evaluable participants of Cohort 1 have reached the end of the 
treatment period, a dose escalation decision will be made.  If the 
dose is not escalated one pre-defined option is an extension of 
recruitment at the current dose level (extended dose escalation).  If 
the dose is escalated, cohort 2 will then be used to evaluate a 
repeat-dose, predicted to provide maximal inhibition of OSM. In 
cohort 2 treatment allocation will be stratified according to 
mycophenolate concomitant medication status treated or nontreated. 
• Participants who consent will attend the clinical facility for screening 
and if eligible will enter the treatment period of the study within 42 
days. The participants will then receive a subcutaneous dose of 
GSK2330811 or placebo on Day 1 and then every other week until 
the sixth and final dose at the Day 71 (Week 10) visit.

Overview of Study Design and Key Features 
• Participants will enter a follow-up period of approximately 16 weeks, 
after the treatment period. 
• The duration of the study, including screening, will be up to 34 weeks 
for participants. 
Treatment 
Assignment 
• Participants will be randomised in a 3:1 ratio within each cohort to 
GSK2330811 and placebo respectively, in cohort 2 this 
randomisation will be stratified by Mycophenolate use. 
Dosing 
• At least 4 participants in Cohort 1 will be randomised to receive a 
dose of 100 mg GSK2330811 or placebo, recruitment into this dose 
level may be expanded at the recommendation of the Data Review 
Committee (DRC). 
• After these participants have reached the end of the treatment period 
on Day 85, the Data Review Committee (DRC) will review and 
recommend the dose level for the active arm of Cohort 2 as either 
300 mg or >=100 mg and <300 mg.  
Interim Analysis 
See Table 5. 
2.4. 
Statistical Analyses 
2.4.1. 
Primary endpoints 
For the primary endpoints (safety and tolerability) no statistical analysis is planned and 
therefore no formal statistical hypothesis will be tested. 
2.4.2. 
Secondary endpoints 
For the secondary endpoints (PK, PD and Immunogenicity) no statistical analysis is 
planned and therefore no formal statistical hypothesis will be tested. If data allow a 
simultaneous PopPK and PKPD model will be constructed by CPMS to describe PK and 
the relationship between PK and PD. 
2.4.3. 
Exploratory biomarker endpoints 
Exploratory biomarker analysis will take place for final SAC. An estimation approach 
using Bayesian methods will be undertaken.   
Biomarker endpoints are described in Section 13. 
2.4.4. 
Exploratory efficacy endpoints 
Exploratory efficacy analysis will take place for final SAC. An estimation approach using 
Bayesian methods will be undertaken.  
Clinical endpoints are described in Section 14.

PLANNED ANALYSES 
3.1. 
In-stream and Interim Analyses 
3.1.1. 
Safety Review Team (SRT) 
In line with routine pharmacovigilance, an internal GSK SRT will review blinded safety 
data at appropriate intervals during the study conduct.  
The following description of data provision and Statistics and Programming (S&P) tasks 
is provided for context: 
3.1.1.1. 
Extract from SRT charter: 
• 
After the week 12 data for 4, 8 and 12 participants have been received, Data 
Management will: 
o Coordinate the loading of data into Spotfire  
o Provide Statistics and Programming with raw data for LAB parameters 
(i.e. the LAB DM dataset).  This will have in-stream QC applied but will 
not be formally cleaned to ensure timeliness. 
• 
Statistics and Programming will provide blinded, grouped graphical representation 
of the restricted/blinded laboratory endpoints as specified in [Appendix 12]  
• In addition, Q2 Solutions will provide results in Result View on an on-going basis 
3.1.1.2. 
SRT reporting details 
• The restricted lab parameters, not available in Spotfire or Result View to those 
with blinded access (an interactive system provided by the contract research 
organisation/ central laboratory for viewing results) are shown in Table 5.

• S&P will produce summary tables and Figures for the restricted safety parameters 
(i.e. not CRP), these will be presented blinded (i.e. without revealing treatment 
allocation). Appendix 12 contains details of outputs that will be produced for the 
‘SRT’ reporting effort (see ‘Deliverable’ column).

• In addition to the planned reviews in the SRT charter, the study team plan SRTs 
after 4, 8 and 12 participants have reached day 85 and an SRT may be called at 
any time. It is the study team’s intention to time SRT’s as efficiently as possible 
so that the safety review will inform DRC meetings.   
 
• For the purposes of planning, Table 4, below, shows a likely scenario for SRT 
reporting efforts: 
Table 4 
Likely Timing of Initial SRT Reporting Efforts 
 
Reporting effort 
Timing 
SRT 1 
After 4 participants reach week 12 in 
cohort 1 (prior to DEC) 
SRT 2 
After 4 participants reach week 12 in 
cohort 2 (assuming escalation after 4 
participants) 
SRT 3 
After 8 participants reach week 12 in 
cohort 2 (may be timed to coincide with 
IA1) 
SRT 4 
After 12 participants reach week 12 in 
cohort 2 
 
• Note: To ensure study safety, additional SRTs will be conducted during the 
course of the study in line with the scope and frequency of the SRT charter. 
 
• Unless otherwise specified outputs for the SRT will be based on the safety 
population. 
3.2. 
Data Review Committee (DRC) 
Data will be reviewed by a DRC at appropriate intervals throughout the study in order to 
make decisions on study conduct and ensure participant safety, in collaboration with the 
SRT (see Table 4 for details). A DRC charter describes the responsibilities and conduct 
of the DRC and how the integrity of the study, including blinding, will be maintained.  
This RAP describes the details of the analyses and outputs that will be provided for the 
DRC meetings. Table 5 provides an overview of the DRC meetings and the data that will 
be reviewed in them. The paragraphs below describe the interim analyses. A version of 
the RAP covering the outputs for each reporting effort will be agreed prior to interim 
analyses.

For the purposes of dose escalation, a dose escalation review will occur once the 
appropriate data from cohort 1 has been collected. This dose escalation review along with 
the interim analyses outlined below will be conducted by the DRC. The activities of these 
and how the study integrity will be maintained are included in the DRC charter.   
For the purpose of assessing target engagement, an unblinded interim analysis of PD and 
PK data will occur once an appropriate number of cohort 2 participants have completed 
the day 57 (Week 8) visit. The baseline total OSM and mean target engagement relative 
to the modelled predictions will be considered.   
An interim analysis (IA2) may be conducted to assess the baseline variability of key 
biomarkers once at least 16 participants have been randomised into cohort 2 of the study. 
This may lead to the adjustment of the biomarker assessment strategy. 
The DRC may also review available data at additional points during the study for internal 
decision making. 
An additional DRC was conducted following the request of safety review at the project 
level response to a temporary stopping criterion related to thrombocytopaenia being met 
in another study with GSK2330811 (Study 208564; A phase 1, randomised, double-blind, 
placebo-controlled study of the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and 
pharmacodynamics of single subcutaneous doses of GSK2330811 in healthy Japanese 
participants). 
The population for each output is specified in Appendix 12; unless otherwise specified 
the outputs for the DEC will be based on the safety population whereas the non-safety 
outputs for the later interims will be based on the per-protocol population to provide an 
assessment of repeat dose GSK2330811.

Final Analyses 
3.3.1. 
DBF timeline 
The final planned analyses will be performed after the completion of the following 
sequential steps: 
1. All participants have completed the study as defined in the protocol. 
2. All required database cleaning activities have been completed and final database 
release and database freeze has been declared by Data Management. 
3. All criteria for unblinding the randomisation codes have been met.  
4. Randomisation codes have been distributed according to RandAll NG procedures.

Overview of Planned Study Population Analyses 
The study population analyses will be based on the “Safety” population, unless otherwise 
specified. Screen failures will be listed based on the “Screened” population. 
Study population analyses including analyses of participant’s disposition, protocol 
deviations, demographic and baseline characteristics, concomitant medications, and 
exposure and treatment compliance will be based on GSK Core Data Standards.  
Concomitant systemic sclerosis and other medications will be summarised separately but 
listed together.  
Bespoke outputs for this population include Systemic Sclerosis Disease and Medication 
History, Mycophenolate use at Day 1 and Autoantibody profiles (Historical collected 
from eCRF and Baseline). 
Historical autoantibodies and positive baseline autoantibodies will be summarized. All 
non-negative data along with collected results for anti-RNAPIII antibody will be listed 
except for Anti-nuclear antibodies which will list both positive (including patterns and 
titres) and negative results. The below table explains the autoantibody labels used for

SAFETY ANALYSES 
The safety analyses will be based on the “Safety” population, unless otherwise specified. 
7.1. 
Adverse Events Analyses 
Adverse events analyses including the analysis of adverse events (AEs) and Serious 
(SAEs) based on GSK Core Data Standards. The details of the planned displays are 
provided in Appendix 12. 
7.2. 
Clinical Laboratory Analyses 
Laboratory evaluations including the analyses of Chemistry laboratory tests, 
Haematology laboratory tests, Urinalysis, and liver function tests will be based on GSK 
Core Data Standards. The details of the planned displays are in Appendix 12. 
Summaries of Platelet Count, Haemoglobin, Absolute Neutrophil Count and Red Blood 
Cell (RBC) count Nadir will also be produced to describe the anticipated effect of 
GSK2330811 on these cells. The nadir is defined as the lowest post-baseline value 
observed for each parameter. Correlation analysis will be performed and presented as 
scatter plots including Pearson correlation coefficient for Platelet and Haemoglobin nadir 
by treatment groups. 
Table 6 lists the Haematology parameter groups that will be referenced in Appendix 12. 
These are required because some outputs will only be produced for selected 
haematological/laboratory parameters to monitor potential platelet and RBC effects that 
were observed in the first time in human study (group 1) and to meet the exploratory 
objective ‘To characterise the mechanisms of any observed haematological effects of 
GSK2330811’ (group 2).

POPULATION PHARMACOKINETIC (POPPK) 
ANALYSES 
GSK2330811 plasma and Total OSM serum concentration-time data will be analysed by 
population pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PopPK/PD) methods using a non-linear 
mixed-effects modelling approach. 
The objective of the PopPK analysis is to develop a population PK model that 
characterizes the PK of GSK2330811 following repeat subcutaneous administration in 
patients with dcSSc. The individual participant PK parameters will be estimated and 
documented for the purposes of any subsequent exposure-response (PK/PD) analyses.

PHARMACOKINETIC / PHARMACODYNAMIC 
ANALYSES 
OSM Free and OSM Total will be analysed through the PK/PD models specified in 
Appendix 10. 
The objective of this analysis is to develop a population PK/PD model that characterizes 
the PK of GSK2330811 and the total OSM concentration-time profile following repeated 
subcutaneous administration of GSK2330811 in patients with dcSSc.  
Exposure/ response analysis for haematology (platelets and haemoglobin) will be a 
pooled analysis that includes all available clinical data generated with GSK2330811. This 
pooled analysis will be described in a separate document.  
Exposure/ response and or joint analysis for clinical endpoints and biomarkers will be 
done ad-hoc post SAC, based on the results of the statistical analysis.  
 
12.1. 
Statistical Analyses / Methods 
The analysis aims to characterise the relationship between plasma concentrations of 
GSK2330811, and target OSM concentration (total). Predicted TE% will be derived as 
defined in Section 16.6.5. Predicted values for free OSM will be used if measured values 
are below the LLQ of the assay. 
Detailed PK/PD methodology is presented in Appendix 10 
To support this analysis a PK/PD dataset will be generated. The details for the dataset 
specifications are provided in Appendix 9 
Any exposure/ response and or joint analysis for clinical endpoints and biomarkers will 
be initiated post SAC, based on the results ot the statistical analysis. The dataset to 
support this analysis and the analysis plan will be described in a separate document.

Exploratory biomarker analysis will take place at the final SAC.   
13.1. 
Primary Biomarker Analyses 
13.1.1. 
Endpoint / Variables 
The following endpoints will be collected and presented in the outputs. Only systemic 
endpoints will be presented at baseline for IA2. 
13.1.1.1.

• vWF 
• VEGF 
• sVCAM-1 
• NT-ProBNP 
13.1.1.2. 
Skin Histology 
• Alpha Smooth Muscle Actin (αSMA)  
(Note: During the review process of Alpha SMA samples, some samples were found to 
have insufficient tissue due to shallow biopsies. Summaries, stats analysis and plots 
exclude those insufficient samples. Additional summary and plots will be produced on 
the full data (including both the sufficient and insufficient samples.) 
13.1.1.3. 
Skin Gene expression RNA Sequencing: 
13.1.1.3.1. Individual Genes of Interest: 
• Inflammation genes: CCL2, CCL18, MS4A4A

• 2-gene SSc skin biomarker: 2GSSc (See Section 16.6.6 for derivation) 
13.1.1.3.3. Gene Set Variation Analysis (GSVA) Score 
GSVA (Hanzelmann, 2013) assesses the relative enrichment of a gene set of interest 
across all samples and generates an enrichment score for each gene set per individual 
sample. The algorithm will first calculate expression-level statistic for each gene using all 
the provided samples’ gene expression distribution and subsequently rank the genes. 
Based on the expression-level statistic, the algorithm will then assess if the genes in the 
gene sets of interest are more likely to be enriched at either end of the ranking. The input 
of GSVA will be the rlog normalized and transformed expression matrix and the output 
of GSVA will be enrichment scores bound between 1 and -1 for each individual sample.  
13.1.1.3.4. Disease signature 
A broad set of public microarray datasets were used to create a systemic sclerosis gene 
signature in skin consisting of 251 individual genes, some of which are up-regulated and 
some of which are down-regulated in SSc skin compared to healthy skin (see Appendix 
13 and eLNB reference number N76598-1 Section 2.1 and Section 3.1). The systemic 
sclerosis gene signature will be quantified using GSVA score. 
• Individual Gene Sets: 209 Upregulated Genes and 42 Downregulated Genes 
• Disease Signature: GSVA Scores (Upregulated and Downregulated)

13.1.1.3.5. Lung Fibrosis Signature 
A broad set of public microarray datasets were used to create a lung fibrosis signature 
consisting of 42 individual genes. These genes can be detected in the skin and therefore 
lung fibrosis gene dysregulation can be evaluated in the skin biopsies. The lung fibrosis 
signature will be quantified using GSVA score. (see Appendix 13 and eLNB reference 
number N76598-1 Section 2.4 and Section 3.4).  
13.1.1.3.6. Cell Module Signatures 
The aim of the cell modules is to assess the effect of GSK2330811 on different cell-types 
and to compare the effect of GSK2330811 with the published tocilizumab data. The cell 
modules consist of three gene sets derived from Khanna, 2016b: Fibrosis (Table S3), M1-
Macrophage (Table S7) and M2-Macrophage (Table S8). Cell module signatures will be 
quantified using GSVA score. (see Appendix 13) 
• Individual Gene Sets: 37 Fibrosis Genes, 32 M1-Macrophage Genes and 31 M2-
Macrophage Genes. 
• Cell Module Signatures: GSVA Scores (Fibrosis, M1-Macrophage and M2-
Macrophage) 
13.1.2. 
Summary Measure 
Interim 2: 
The baseline values will be summarised without treatment groups using the safety 
population presenting summary statistics assuming a skewed distribution for the systemic 
markers. A scatter plot of the raw baseline values will be presented alongside the 
geometric mean  standard error. 
The Spearman’s and Pearson’s correlations of the baseline values transformed using log 
base 10, will be calculated and presented for each combination of endpoints. The 
correlations will also be presented as scatter plots for each pair of endpoints. Where both 
the correlations are >-0.3 and <0.3 the correlation will be suppressed from the outputs.  
Final analysis 
Standard summaries at each planned timepoint will be used for biomarker endpoints 
assuming a skewed distribution. The ratio of the post-baseline to baseline values and fold 
change (geometric ratio <1 then fold change is -1/geometric ratio otherwise fold change 
is geometric ratio) will also be summarised. 
Systemic biomarkers will be summarised and presented using a log 10 scale while the 
histology and gene sets will be summarised and presented using a log 2 scale. 2GSSc skin 
biomarker and GSVA Scores will be summarised and presented on linear scale. 
Line plots of the unadjusted geometric means  standard error for log transformed data 
and unadjusted means  standard error for linear data will be presented by treatment 
group at each visit. Individual participant plots of the raw values will be presented by 
treatment group and individual plot lines are differentiated by MMF use at Day 1 (solid

13.1.3. 
Population of Interest 
For Interim 2 the summaries will be based on the “Safety” population. 
For other reporting efforts, the primary biomarker analyses will be based on the “Per 
Protocol” analysis population, unless otherwise specified.

Strategy for Intercurrent (Post-Randomization) Events 
Biomarker analysis will not account for intercurrent events (i.e. will adopt a ‘while on 
treatment’ strategy). 
13.1.5. 
Statistical Analyses / Methods 
Details of the planned displays are provided in Appendix 12 and will be based on GSK 
Data Standards and statistical principles. 
The endpoints / variables defined in Section 13.1.1 will be summarised using descriptive 
statistics, graphically presented (where appropriate) and listed. 
Longitudinal model 
The ratio to baseline for the following systemic biomarkers will be analysed using a 
Bayesian MMRM analysis using the log transformed data including only the placebo and 
GSK2330811 300mg arms: 
• Pro-C3 
• Pro-C6 
• PINP 
• ELF 
• COMP  
• PIIINP  
• IL-6 
• MCP-1 (Rename MCP-1 as CCL2 for displays) 
• CCL-18 
 
Non-informative priors will be used in these analyses, specifically the prior for the 
regression coefficient will be normally distributed with mean 0 and a variance of 106.The 
variance-covariance matrix for the within subject error across the visits will use an 
inverse-Wishart prior distribution, consisting of the identity matrix and the degrees of 
freedom will be the number of visits included in the model.  
The models will be adjusted for the following covariates: MMF use at day 1, baseline 
value, treatment, visit, treatment by visit and baseline by visit interactions.

The change from baseline within each treatment group and the difference in the change 
from baseline across the treatment groups (GSK2330811 300mg – placebo) will be 
calculated and are back transformed to give the ratio to baseline and the ratio of the 
change relative to placebo respectively. 
Posterior medians and equal tailed 95% credible intervals will be presented. In addition, 
the probability the ratios are <1 and fold changes (Posterior Medians, as ratio < 1 then 
fold change is -1/ratio otherwise fold change is ratio) will also be calculated. The line plot 
of the adjusted posterior medians ± credible intervals at each visit will be presented.  
ANCOVA 
The ratio to baseline of log transformed and change from baseline of linear data for the 
following skin histology and gene expression mRNA sequencing endpoints will be 
analysed using a Bayesian ANCOVA analysis including only the placebo and 
GSK2330811 300mg arms: 
• Alpha SMA (Excluding Insufficient samples) 
• COMP 
• CCL2  
• 2GSSc 
• Disease Signatures - GSVA Scores (Upregulated and Downregulated) 
• Lung Fibrosis Signature - GSVA Score  
• Cell Modular Signatures - GSVA Scores (Fibrosis, M1-Macrophage and M2-
Macrophage) 
 
Non-informative priors will be used in these analyses, specifically the prior for the 
regression coefficient will be normally distributed with mean 0 and a variance of 106. The 
prior for the variance parameter will be an inverse-gamma (shape=0.001, scale=0.001).  
The models will be adjusted for the following covariates: MMF use at day 1, baseline 
value and treatment.

The plot of the adjusted posterior medians ± credible intervals along with individual ratio 
to baseline or change from baseline values based on the endpoints will be presented. 
Joint model 
In addition to the Bayesian MMRM analysis, the ratio to baseline or change from 
baseline based on the endpoints for the following four key biomarkers will be modelled 
using a multivariate Bayesian analysis including only the placebo and GSK2330811 
300mg arms: 
• Alpha SMA (Excluding Insufficient samples) 
• CCL2 gene assessed from the skin sample through RNA sequencing 
• PIIINP assessed from the serum sample 
• 2GSSc 
 
Non-informative priors will be used for all parameters. The variance-covariance matrix 
for the within subject error across the endpoints will use an inverse-Wishart prior 
distribution consisting of the identity matrix and 4 degrees of freedom. 
The model will be adjusted for endpoint (allows each endpoint to have their own 
intercept), treatment by endpoint interaction term, MMF use at day 1 by endpoint 
interaction, and baseline by endpoint interaction term. If the model does not converge, the 
covariate for MMF use will be removed from the model.  
Missing baseline covariates will be modelled as part of the MCMC sampling prior to 
fitting the joint model, using non-informative priors. For example, if bi is the baseline of 
the ith endpoint then bi~N(θi, δi) where θi~N(0,sd=100) and δi~iGamma(shape=0.1, 
scale=0.1).   
For modelling purposes, the log transformed endpoints will be back transformed for the 
presentation of results. Fold change will also be presented for only log transformed 
endpoints, posterior medians as, ratio < 1 then fold change is -1/ratio otherwise fold 
change is ratio. 
Heat Plots 
Heat plots will be produced for the gene expression endpoints contributing to a gene 
signature using fold change from baseline. Fold change in Placebo, GSK2330811 100mg 
and GSK2330811 300 mg at day 85 will be presented in three columns using the 3-fold 
change cut off. Plot colour scales from blue to white to red scale, values above 3 or below 
-3 fold change will all be presented using the same colour. 
Heat plots are produced for each individual gene from Disease Signature, Lung Fibrosis 
signature and Cell module signatures as mentioned in Section 13.1.1.3. Within each 
signature, genes are ordered based on ‘Ward’ clustering algorithm. 
For further reference, heat plot with dendogram for full gene panel contributing to the 
different signatures will be produced and saved in Refdata folder.

Additional Post SAC transcriptomics analysis will be conducted and the details will be 
documented in a separate analysis plan. 
13.1.5.1. 
Model Checking & Diagnostics 
As an initial model fit 100,000 MCMC samples will be generated with a thin of 10, 
providing 10,000 samples to be used for the estimate of the posterior distribution. A burn-
in of 5,000 samples will be used. Starting values for the parameters will be based on the 
mode of the prior distributions.   
The following list of convergence diagnostics will be applied for each parameter 
(diagnostic checking outputs will be stored in the refdata folder in HARP in the relevant 
reporting effort): 
• The Monte Carlo Standard Errors (MCSE) should be compared with the standard 
deviation of the posterior distribution (SD) to ensure that only a fraction of the 
posterior variability is due to the simulation. The number of samples generated, 
and/or the thinning may be increased to reduce the ratio of the MCSE/SD as 
deemed necessary. 
• Trace plots of samples versus the simulation index will be visually inspected to 
assess some aspects of convergence. The centre of the chain should appear stable 
with very small fluctuations, i.e., the distribution of points should not change as 
the chain progresses and the posterior mean and variance are relatively constant.  
• Autocorrelation plots will be visually inspected to assess degree of autocorrelation 
(should decline rapidly and show no oscillation patterns). 
• Density plots of the posterior for the model parameters will be plotted (should be 
smooth and with a single hump). 
 
If the model is not deemed to have converged the following actions will be taken in the 
order described below: 
• Increasing the number of MCMC samples and/or the thinning will be explored. 
The blocking of the parameters will be considered. 
• For the joint model: 
o The variance of the parameters used to model the baseline data may be 
considered as fixed, based on the observed variance of the parameter 
rather than using δi~iGamma(shape=0.1, scale=0.1). 
o The endpoint with the most missing data will be removed from the model 
and the joint model carried out on the remaining 3 endpoints. 
• For the MMRM model: 
o If missing data at the post-treatment visits are causing the non-
convergence, these visits will be removed and details included in a 
footnote.

Note that the exploratory endpoints that are categorised as ‘blood biomarkers related to 
mechanisms of anaemia and thrombocytopenia’ in the protocol are categorised as ‘Group 
2 – Mechanistic Haematology/chemistry’ in Section 7.2. Reporting of these parameters 
will use the same outputs as other Haematology/ chemistry but will only occur at the end 
of the study. See Appendix 12. No statistical analysis will be performed on these 
endpoints. These displays will use the ‘Safety’ population unless otherwise specified.

The endpoints / variables defined in Section 14.1.1 will be summarised using descriptive 
statistics, graphically presented (where appropriate) and listed. 
 
Longitudinal model 
Longitudinal Bayesian model as specified in Section 13.1.5 will be fitted for the change 
from baseline in the following endpoints: 
• mRSS 
• HAQ-DI 
• Laboratory FVC (L) 
The difference in the differences from baseline will be calculated across the treatment 
groups (GSK2330811 300mg – placebo). 
Posterior means and equal tailed 95% credible intervals will be presented. In addition, 
except for Laboratory FVC, the probability the differences are <0 will be calculated and 
for Laboratory FVC, differences are >0 will be calculated. The line plots of the adjusted 
posterior mean change from baseline  credible intervals at each visit will be presented.  
Non-Parametric Analysis 
The CRISS endpoint is not expected to be normally distributed and so will be analysed 
using Bayesian non-parametric techniques including only placebo and GSK2330811 
300mg arms. 
Observed data from two groups are assumed to come from an underlying latent normal 
distributions with unit variance. Observations from these two latent normal distributions 
are generated from the truncated normal distributions in such a way to maintain the 
ordinality of the data.  The parameter of interest is difference in the two latent means, δ. 
Prior distribution of δ, will be Cauchy distribution with shape parameter 0.5 and scale 
parameter 
. To obtain the posterior distribution for δ, analysis will follow the 
algorithm advocated by van Doorn, 2020. 
Probability difference > 0 will be presented. 
Boxplots of the predicted probability of improvement from baseline in the CRISS 
endpoints at day 85 and day 197 will be presented by treatment group. 
Correlation Analysis 
In addition, correlation analysis will be performed at Day 85 for set of endpoints listed 
below. The correlation will be presented as scatter plots of endpoints for each of the 
treatment groups, including the Pearson correlation coefficient. For ratios, correlations 
will use the log transformed data while the plot will present the untransformed data with 
the appropriate axis presented on the log scale.  
• For each combination of change or ratio of key biomarkers 
• Clinical endpoints vs biomarker endpoints for change or ratio (Following table lists 
the pair of endpoints to be plotted).

from the target day, the ‘average of maximum value’ will be used. 
For PK, planned assessments will be summarised, unscheduled assessments will be listed.  
PopPK and PK/PD modelling will use all available data and will use actual relative time, 
not planned relative time. 
Note: Following assessment window followed for all SRT reporting. 
For safety, planned assessments will be summarised. Unscheduled and early withdrawal 
visits are included following the visit slotting algorithm for worst case or CTCAE grade 
summaries and figures. If more than one visit slots to the same analysis timepoint, the 
‘worst’ case will be included in the summary and figure.

Appendix 6: Derived and Transformed Data 
16.6.1. 
General 
Multiple Measurements at One Analysis Time Point 
• Where multiple assessments are made, the mean of replicate assessments at any given time 
point will be used as the value for that time point. This derived mean will be reported in the 
listing in addition to the individual assessments. 
• 
If there are two values within a time window the value closest to the target day for that window will be 
used (with the exception of the worst case summaries for parameters detailed in Section 16.3 for SRT 
outputs, where the worst case would be used). If values are the same distance from the target, then the 
mean will be taken. 
• 
Participants having both High and Low values for Normal Ranges at any post-baseline visit for safety 
parameters will be counted in both the High and Low categories of “Any visit post-baseline” row of 
related summary tables. This will also be applicable to relevant Potential Clinical Importance summary 
tables. 
Study Day 
• Calculated as the number of days from randomisation date: 
• Ref Date = Missing            → Study Day = Missing  
• Ref Date < Randomisation Date   → Study Day = Ref Date – Randomisation Date     
• 
Ref Date ≥ Randomisation Date   → Study Day = Ref Date – (Randomisation Date) + 1  
Actual Relative Time 
• Calculated as the time in days or fraction of a day before or after first dose 
• This will be calculated relative to exposure date and time for both pre- and post- dose 
assessments where relevant. 
• This provides an alternative to ‘Study Day’ with a meaningful value of 0 and is of benefit for 
profile plots showing results before and after dosing. 
 
16.6.2. 
Study Population 
Treatment Compliance 
Total number of doses received and number of doses withheld are summarised for treatment 
compliance. 
Number of doses withheld will be calculated only for subjects who attended the study visit and 
dose was withheld, but will not include the subjects who missed dosing visits. 
Exposure 
Duration of exposure for the treatment phase will be calculated based upon the following formula. If 
a subject has at least 28 days of information after their last dose: 
Duration of exposure in days = treatment stop date – treatment start date + 29 
If a subject withdraws from the study or dies with less than 28 days of information after their last 
dose: 
Duration of exposure in days = Date of withdrawal or death – treatment start date +1

Only birth year is captured on the eCRF, therefore GSK standard IDSL algorithms will be used for 
calculating age where birth date will be imputed as follows: 
o  The missing date and month will be imputed as ‘30th June’. 
• 
Birth date will be presented in listings as ‘YYYY’. 
Body Mass Index (BMI) 
• 
Calculated as Weight (kg) /Height (m)2 
Disease Specific 
Time from onset of the first non-Raynaud’s phenomenon manifestation and Raynaud’s phenomenon 
manifestation 
Time in months calculated as date of first screening visit from onset of the first non-Raynaud’s phenomenon 
manifestation. 
Partial dates will be imputed as follows: 
o Any subject with a missing day will have this imputed as day ‘01’.  
o Any subject with a missing date and month will have this imputed as ‘1st January’. 
Time in months will be rounded up to the nearest whole month for each subject before being summarised. 
Baseline Autoantibody 
Numeric results of RNA Polymerase III Antibody – Standard will be classified as, 
Positive, if numeric values ≥20 and Negative, if numeric values <20. 
DLCO 
During study set-up, the Respiratory Function eCRF screen was set up to collect the screening DLCO 
(uncorrected for Hb) and DLCO (corrected for Hb) values in mL/min/mmHg. However, part way through the 
study, the team became aware that these results were being reported locally in different units (in some 
cases different than the units required per the eCRF), and some sites did not convert the values to the 
required eCRF units.  A note to file in the eTMF documents the corrective and preventative actions.  
DLCO summary tables will present data using ML/MIN/MMHG and therefore data collected using unit 
MMOL/MIN/KPA will be transformed using the following formula: 
ML/MIN/MMHG =MMOL/MIN/KPA x 2.987. 
Based on information from data management (documented in the note to file) sites collected DLCO using

CRISS Composite response index in dcSSc 
CRISS is calculated in a two-step process (formula and text from Khanna, (2016)) and detailed in the 
section below. 
There are two post-baseline assessments of CRISS. Each will use the initial baseline so that, for example, if 
a participant has a scleroderma renal crisis in the first CRISS period between baseline and week 12, they 
will receive a value of 0 for both the first CRISS period (week 12) and the second CRISS period (week 28) 
except for item (b). For item (b) participants will be classified based on their FVC at the current visit FVC 
regardless of their classification at previous assessments. 
Step 1: 
Participants who develop new or worsening cardiopulmonary and/or renal involvement due to systemic 
sclerosis are considered as not improved (irrespective of improvement in other core items) and assigned a 
probability of improving equal to 0.0. Specifically, if a subject develops any of the following: 
a) New scleroderma renal crisis[1] 
b) Decline in FVC % predicted >= 15% (relative to baseline), HRCT to confirm ILD (if previous HRCT 
of chest did not show ILD) and FVC < 80% of predicted[2][3] 
c) New onset of left ventricular failure (defined as left ventricular ejection fraction <= 45%) requiring 
treatment [1] [2] 
d) New onset of PAH on right-sided heart catheterization [1] requiring treatment [1] [2] 
Notes: 
1: Treating physician’s judgement, is recorded directly in eCRF, details in SRM. 
2: Attributable to systemic sclerosis 
3: The three components of item b (FVC % predicted decline, absolute level of FVC % predicted and 
HRCT to confirm ILD) are recorded in the eCRF and will be derived by programming. Note that a 
historic diagnosis of ILD will be recorded in a different variable to one made during the study. 
Items a) c) and d) are captured as part of the eCRF. Item b) the % predicted FVC criteria (>=15% declined 
from baseline and <80% at relevant visit) will be derived programmatically. HRCT is captured as part of the 
eCRF and is requested as required and at the discretion of the investigator.  
• 
If the participant has a HRCT confirming ILD at or prior to the visit (including day 1 and screening 
period or historical diagnosis) they will be considered to have confirmed ILD. Then the % predicted 
FVC results would be used to assess if they meet part b) of step 1. 
• 
If the participant does not have a HRCT confirming ILD or has had a HRCT without presence of 
ILD then they would not meet the criteria for part b) of step 1. 
Step 2:  
For the remaining subjects who do not have a step 1 event a participant’s probability of improving is 
calculated. Step 2 involves computing the predicted probability of improving using the following equation 
(equation to derive predicted probabilities from a logistic regression model):

The Scleroderma Health Assessment Questionnaire (SHAQ) is comprised of:  
• 
The Health Assessment Questionnaire Disability Index (HAQ-DI) (calculated based on 21 items 
across 8 domains) that assess the impact of illness affecting the ability to function in daily life. 
• 
6 individual Visual Analogue Scales assess severity of pain, disease severity and the impact of 
each of the folllowing symptoms on activities of daily living: 
o Intestinal Problems 
o 
Breathing Problems 
o 
Raynaud’s Phenomenon 
o 
Finger Ulcers 
• 
The SHAQ will be completed by the participant during scheduled clinic visits and before any other 
assessments.

one question is scored 1 and another 2, then the score for that section is 2. 
In addition, if an aide or devise is used or if help is required from another individual, then the minimum score 
for that section is 2. If the section score is already 2 or more then no modification is made. When there are

The HAQ-DI is calculated from the taking the 8 scores of the 8 sections are summed and divided by 8. If 
one section is not completed by a participant, then the summed score would be divided by 7. At least 6 
sections must be non-missing for the HAQ-DI to be calculated, else the HAQ-DI is set to missing. 
VAS scales 
VAS scales will be converted to a 0-3 scale before contributing to the SHAQ. The scaled VAS score will be

Laboratory Parameters 
• If a laboratory value which is expected to have a numeric value for summary purposes, has a 
non-detectable level reported in the database, where the numeric value is missing, but typically 
a character value starting with ‘<x’ or ‘>x’ (or indicated as less than x or greater than x in the 
comment field) is present, the number of decimal places in the observed values will be used to 
determine how much to add or subtract in order to impute the corresponding numeric value.  
o Example 1: 2 decimal places: ‘< x’ becomes x – 0.01 
o Example 2: 1 decimal places: ‘> x’ becomes x + 0.1 
o Example 3: 0 decimal places: ‘< x’ becomes x – 1     
• Reticulocyte Production Index (RPI) will be calculated, by GSK S&P, as: 
RPI = Reticulocyte Count [%] x [Hematocrit [%] / 45] x 1/RMT 
To use the formula above Hematocrit and Reticulocyte Count must be converted from the SI unit 
(proportion) to a percentage by multiplying by 100 (note that the GSK code describes reticulocyte 
count as a percentage even though it is a proportion). 
Where Normal Hematocrit [%] = 45 and RMT (reticulocyte maturation time) is found from the table 
below:

Where Normal Serum Albumin = 40 [g/L] 
• eGFR (estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate) will be calculated by GSK S&P at all timepoints, 
this will also be provided directly by the vendor at screening. The GSK calculated value at 
screening will be used as primary for reporting (e.g. will be used as baseline if appropriate).   
• The calculation will be as follows:

Reporting Detail 
General 
• Participant study completion (i.e. as specified in the protocol) was defined as 
completion of all assessments on Day 197(Week 28).  
• In cohort 1 non-evaluable participants will be replaced. 
• In cohort 2 withdrawn participants are not replaced in the study. 
• All available data from participants who were withdrawn from the study will be 
listed and all available planned data will be included in summary tables and 
Figures, unless otherwise specified. 
 
16.7.2. 
Handling of Missing Data 
Element 
Reporting Detail 
General 
• Missing data occurs when any requested data is not provided, leading to blank 
fields on the collection instrument: 
o These data will be indicated by the use of a “blank” in participant listing 
displays. Unless all data for a specific visit are missing in which case the 
data is excluded from the table.  
o Answers such as “Not applicable” and “Not evaluable” are not considered to 
be missing data and should be displayed as reported. 
Outliers 
• Any subjects excluded from the summaries and/or statistical analyses will be 
documented along with the reason for exclusion in the clinical study report.

Handling of Missing and Partial Dates 
Element 
Reporting Detail 
General 
• 
Partial dates will be displayed as captured in subject listing displays. 
Adverse 
Events 
• 
The eCRF allows for the possibility of partial dates (i.e., only month and year) to be 
recorded for AE start and end dates; that is, the day of the month may be missing. In 
such a case, the following conventions will be applied for calculating the time to onset 
and the duration of the event: 
o Missing Start Day: First of the month will be used unless this is before the start 
date of study treatment; in this case the study treatment start date will be used and 
hence the event is considered On-treatment as per Appendix 4. 
o Missing Stop Day: Last day of the month will be used. 
• 
Completely missing start or end dates will remain missing, with no imputation applied. 
Consequently, time to onset and duration of such events will be missing. 
Concomitant 
Medications/
Medical 
History 
• 
Partial dates for any concomitant medications recorded in the CRF will be imputed 
using the following convention: 
o If the partial date is a start date, a '01' will be used for the day and 'Jan' will be 
used for the month 
o If the partial date is a stop date, a '28/29/30/31' will be used for the day (dependent

Appendix 10: Pharmacokinetic / Pharmacodynamic 
Methodology 
Concentration-time profiles of GSK2330811 in plasma and Total OSM in serum, will be 
analysed by population pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PopPK/PD) methods using a 
non-linear mixed-effects modelling approach. 
The objective of this analysis is to develop population PK/PD models that characterize 
the concentration-time profile of GSK2330811 and total OSM following repeated 
subcutaneous administration of GSK2330811 in patients with dcSSc. 
Concentration-time profiles of GSK2330811 in plasma and platlets and haemoglobin will 
be analysed by PK/PD methods using a non-linear mixed-effects modelling approach. All 
the available exposure haematology clinical data relative to GSK2330811 will be 
combined for the analysis. This pooled analysis will be performed as a separate analysis 
and reported separately.  
Analysis of clinical endpoints and biomarkers could include exposure-response, 
longitudinal exposure-response and joint modelling. This analysis would be performed 
after SAC, based on the results of the statistical analysis.  
16.10.1. 
Systems 
The quantitative analysis will be performed using NONMEM (ICON Solutions) and PsN 
(Perl Speaks NONMEM) or another software platform deemed appropriate. Graphical 
displays and, if needed, modifications of the dataset will be produced using R (The R 
Foundation for Statistical Computing). The analysis will be performed by, or under the 
direct auspices of, Clinical Pharmacology Modelling and Simulation (CPMS), 
GlaxoSmithKline using the GSK modelling environment MAP (Model-based Analysis 
Platform) using the currently supported versions of all software packages. 
16.10.2. 
Data Assembly 
GSK Stats and Programming will generate the NONMEM input dataset, as detailed in 
Section 16.9.1. 
16.10.3. 
Model Development 
A population PK/PD model for SC single dose of GSK2330811 in healthy volunteers was 
developed [Reid J, 2018] and will be the starting point for the population PK/PD analysis.  
Individual parameters (empirical Bayes estimates) will be derived applying the HV 
popPKPD model to the repeat dose in dcSSc dataset with the MAXEVAL=0 option, if 
$EST METHOD=1, or with the EONLY=1 option, if $EST METHOD=IMP. If the 
corresponding model diagnostics indicate that the HV popPKPD model is appropriate to 
represent the dcSSc PKPD data, then these individual parameters for the dcSSc 
population will be considered adequate to characterise the PK/PD.

If the parameter set of the HV popPKPD model applied to the dcSSc data set results in 
substantial bias or if a further exploration of the covariate effect in the dcSSc population 
is deemed necessary, the parameters of the HV popPKPD model will be re-estimated for 
the dcSSc PK/PD data alone and/or for a pooled HV (study 201246, study 208564 cohort 
1) /dcSSc (study 201247) data set. If a pooled analysis is deemed necessary, it will be 
performed as a separate analysis and reported separately.

Notes: 
1:  Listing will be produced for interim but may not be shared. Justification: DRCs follow the principle of presenting summary data for restricted data types where 
possible to reduce the degree of unblinding, so this listing will only be presented if necessary.
