Statistical Considerations: 
Randomization will be stratified by prior use of biologics and geographic region. 
Efficacy analyses will be based on the intent-to-treat (ITT) approach. All patients 
randomized will be included in the analysis, and subjects will be analyzed 
according to their randomized treatment. The primary efficacy analysis will 
compare the proportion of patients in the active treatment groups with ≥75% 
improvement in PASI at Week 12 relative to baseline to placebo using the 
Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel test and will be stratified by prior use of biologics and 
geographic region. Safety will be assessed through the summary of adverse events, 
serious adverse events, laboratory test results, ECG parameters, and vital signs. 
Safety analyses will include all subjects who receive at least one dose of either 
ESK-001 or placebo. Subjects will be analyzed according to the actual treatment 
received.

INTRODUCTION 
2.1. 
Background 
Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory immune-mediated skin disease, characterized by abnormal 
epidermal growth, usually presenting as red, scaly patches, papules or plaques (plaque psoriasis). 
(Rendon and Schäkel, 2019). The prevalence of psoriasis in the US is approximately 2 to 3% 
(World Health Organization [WHO], 2016). 
The pathogenesis of psoriasis is complex involving the interplay of genetic and environmental 
factors, resulting in a dysregulated immune response involving T helper (Th) type 1 and Th17 
cells (Polese et al., 2020). Interleukin (IL)-23 and IL-12 are believed to key cytokines in the 
immune-pathogenesis of psoriasis. In response to the release of IL-23, activated T cells migrate 
from the dermis to epidermis and secrete cytokines such as IL-17, which causes proliferation of 
keratinocytes and the classic inflammatory lesions of psoriasis (Zeng et al., 2017). The clinical 
relevance of these cytokine pathways for moderate to severe psoriasis has been established by 
the respective FDA-approved targeted therapies including ustekinumab (anti-IL-12/23) and 
secukinumab(anti-IL17). The pathogenic effect of the IL-23/IL-17 axis is mediated by the Janus 
kinase/signal transducers and activators of transcription (JAK/STAT) pathway (Winthrop, 2017).  
The search for effective small molecules to block JAK/STAT signaling led to the discovery of 
tyrosine kinase 2 (TYK2) inhibitors (Nogueira, Puig et al. 2020). TYK2 signaling pathways 
include the central cytokines IL-12 and IL-23. Importantly, TYK2 has also been validated as a 
therapeutic target in psoriasis by oral TYK2 inhibitors and particularly from positive Phase 3 
studies with deucravacitinib (Bristol Myers Squibb, 2021). Based on available clinical data it 
appears these inhibitors’ specificity for TYK2 avoids the safety liabilities of JAK inhibitors. 
Although these findings are encouraging, considerable unmet need remains for patients with 
psoriasis and ESK-001 has the potential for improved efficacy and safety associated with higher 
target engagement and greater target specificity.

2.5. 
Risk-Benefit Assessment 
ESK-001 is being developed as an oral treatment for moderate to severe psoriasis. Based on the 
mechanism of action of ESK-001, the likelihood of benefit for patients enrolled in this study is 
expected to be high since substantial clinical efficacy has already been demonstrated by other 
molecules with the same mechanism of action, i.e., inhibition of TYK2 (Papacharalambous et al., 
2020; Papp et al., 2018). Furthermore, patients will be offered the opportunity to receive 
ESK-001 after they complete the study by enrolling in a long-term open label extension study. 
Initial studies in healthy participants have demonstrated ESK-001 was tolerated well and had no 
safety findings of clinical concern. The nature and frequency of safety assessments in this study 
are guided by the safety profile of other TYK2 inhibitors being developed in psoriasis and the 
potential immunomodulatory effects of TYK2 inhibition. These inhibitors have been generally 
well tolerated and with an acceptable safety profile. Based on ESK-001’s high specificity for 
TYK2, the safety concerns associated with JAK inhibition are considered to have been reduced. 
In addition, a safety monitoring committee will be convened, including a cardiologist, to oversee 
overall patient safety, including the potential for adverse events associated with JAK inhibition.  
Taken together the overall benefit-risk assessment is favorable and supports this Phase 2 study in 
psoriasis patients with moderate to severe disease.

Lifestyle Restrictions 
5.4.1. 
Dietary Restrictions 
Foods such as star fruit juice, Seville orange juice, and grapefruit juice that are strong to 
moderate inhibitors of P450 (CYP) 3A4 should be avoided. 
Study drug can be taken with or without food. 
5.4.2. 
Highly Effective Contraception  
Highly effective methods of birth control are defined as those which result in a low failure rate 
(i.e., less than 1% per year) when used consistently and correctly.  
For female patients - WOCBP: 
• Combined (estrogen and progestogen containing) hormonal contraception associated with 
inhibition of ovulation: 
o Oral 
o Intravaginal 
o Transdermal 
• Progestogen-only hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation: 
o Oral 
o Injectable 
o Implantable 
Note: Hormonal contraception must be supplemented with another form of contraception 
that may include but is not limited to another form of highly effective contraception (e.g., 
IUD) or other barrier methods (such as male condom plus spermicide or female 
diaphragm). 
• Intrauterine device (IUD) 
• Intrauterine hormone-releasing system (IUS) 
• Bilateral tubal ligation 
• Vasectomized partner. Note that a vasectomized partner is a highly effective birth control 
method provided that partner is the sole sexual partner of the woman of childbearing 
potential trial patient and that the vasectomized partner has received medical assessment 
of the surgical success. 
• Sexual abstinence. Sexual abstinence is considered a highly effective method only if the 
subject is refraining from heterosexual intercourse during the entire period of risk 
associated with the study treatments. The reliability of sexual abstinence needs to be 
evaluated in relation to the duration of the clinical trial and the preferred and usual 
lifestyle of the subject. 
• Same sex partner

6.4. 
Study Drug Accountability 
The Investigator or his/her designated representatives will dispense study drug per the Schedule 
of Assessments (see Section 1.3). 
The Investigator is responsible for the control of drugs under investigation. Adequate records of 
the receipt (e.g., Drug Receipt Record) and disposition (e.g., Investigation Drug Dispensing Log) 
of the study drug must be maintained. The Investigation Drug Dispensing Log must be kept 
current and should contain the following information:

• The identification (ID) if the patient to whom the study drug was dispensed (that is, 
patient ID number and year of birth) 
• The date(s), quantity, and lot number(s) of the study drug dispensed to the patient 
• The ID of the person who dispense the study drug 
All used and unused drug supplies must be returned by the patient at every visit. 
All records and used and unused drug supplies must be available for inspection by the study 
monitor at every monitoring visit. Reconciliation of all drug supplies (ESK-001 or placebo) will 
be performed by the study monitor.  
6.5. 
Destruction of Study Drug 
When the study is completed, the Investigator will destroy or return to the Sponsor any used and 
unused study drug (e.g., empty, partially used, and unused containers), to the Sponsor as 
requested. Copies of the completed Drug Dispensing Log and Drug Return Record(s) will be 
returned to the Sponsor. The Investigator’s copy of the Drug Return Record(s) must accurately 
document the return or destruction of all drug supplies to the Sponsor. 
Local or institutional regulations may require immediate destruction of used study drug for 
safety reasons. In these cases, it may be acceptable for investigational study center staff to 
destroy dispensed study drug before a monitoring inspection, provided that source document 
verification is performed on the remaining inventory and reconciled against the documentation of 
quantity shipped, dispensed, returned, and destroyed, and provided that adequate storage and 
integrity of drug has been confirmed. Written authorization must be obtained from the Sponsor 
or Sponsor designees after final accountability prior to destruction. 
Unused study drug from the site that has not been stored properly should not be destroyed until 
the monitor and/or Sponsor approve the destruction. 
Written documentation of destruction must contain the following: 
• Identity of study drug destroyed 
• Quantity of study drug destroyed 
• Date of destruction 
• Method of destruction 
• Name and signature of responsible person who destroyed the study drug 
6.6. 
Patient Identification and Randomization Procedure 
All screened patients are assigned unique identification number. Screened patients who drop out 
of the clinical study before randomization will retain their unique identification number. 
Blister card wallets will provide blinded serial numbers for allocation using randomization 
through an interactive voice/web response system (IxRS) or equivalent process of distribution of 
the study drug throughout the duration of the study. Patients will be randomized 1:1:1:1:1:1 one 
of the 6 treatment arms (5 dose levels of ESK-001, placebo). 


Alumis Inc. 
Clinical Study Protocol 
ESK-001-006 
CONFIDENTIAL 
 
Version 3.0 
Page 29 of 63 
09 August 2022 
 
Randomization will be stratified by prior use of biologics and geographic region. A permuted 
block randomization scheme will be used to obtain approximately a 1:1:1:1:1:1 ratio among the 
treatment arms within each stratum.   
6.7. 
Blinding and Emergency Unblinding 
ESK-001 tablets and placebo-to-match ESK-001 tablets will be matched for shape, size and 
color. 
Study drug assignment for each patient will not be disclosed to the Investigator, study center 
personnel, patients, or the Sponsor or representatives on the clinical study team. Study site 
personnel will remain blinded throughout the entirety of the study.  
If at any time during the study a decision about a patient’s medical condition requires knowledge 
of the treatment assignment, the study blind may be broken by the Principal Investigator, 
(through the IxRS), for that specific patient only. If in the opinion of the Investigator, there is no 
impact on patient safety, the Investigator is strongly encouraged to contact the Sponsor’s 
Medical Monitor prior to unblinding. The reason for unblinding must be documented in the IxRS 
or appropriate study documentation. 
At the study site, only the Principal Investigator should be unblinded. If, in the Investigator’s 
opinion, and for the safety of the patient other study site personnel are required to be aware of 
the treatment assignment, the Investigator will contact the Sponsor’s Medical Monitor prior to 
further unblinding and ensure that the minimum number of personnel are informed.  
The SMC must be informed by the Sponsor’s Medical Monitor of any case of unblinding. 
Additionally, the SMC may unblind individual treatment assignment for further safety evaluation 
at their discretion. 
6.8. 
Administration of Study Drug 
The study site staff will administer a dose of study drug to each patient on Day 1 (first dose), and 
on the Week 4, 8, and 12 visit days. Patients should be clearly instructed not to take study drug 
on these study Days, but to bring their study drug with them to the clinic and take
 
  
Study drug will be dispensed to patients as a 4-week supply at the Day 1, Week 4, and Week 8 
visits. 
 
 
At the Week 4, 8 and 12 study visits patients must return all study drug 
 
 
6.9. 
Continued Access to Investigational Product  
After completion of the Week 16 End-of-Study (EOS) Visit, Patients will be eligible to receive 
extended open-label treatment with ESK-001 by participating in a separate open-label extension 
(OLE) study (Protocol No. ESK-001-007). To participate in this OLE study patients must have

completed this study, ESK-001-006, meet all eligibility criteria for the OLE study, and be willing 
and able to complete all of its required assessments.  
6.10. 
Treatment of Overdose 
Standard symptomatic support measures should be used in the case of excessive pharmacological 
effects or overdose. No antidotes are available. 
6.11. 
Treatment Compliance 
Accountability and patient compliance will be assessed by maintaining adequate study drug 
dispensing records and tablet counts. The Investigator is responsible for ensuring that dosing is 
administered in compliance with the protocol. See Section 6.4 for instructions on drug 
accountability procedures.  
6.12. 
Prior and Concomitant Medication 
Prior and concomitant medication as well as vaccination use after screening will be recorded on 
the prior and concomitant eCRF. Prior medications should be collected from the past 10 years. 
Antiviral Medications 
Based on in vitro assessments, ESK-001 has the potential for drug-drug interaction with antiviral 
medications metabolized through CYP3A4, CYP2D6 and P-gp pathways (eg, Paxlovid 
[nirmatrelvir + ritonavir]). Co-administration with ESK-001 may affect the systemic exposure 
levels of antiviral medications or ESK-001. The benefit:risk assessment for administration of 
anti-viral medications with a narrow therapeutic index should be discussed with the medical 
monitor whenever possible.   
Acid Reducing Agents 
The use of Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs) are not permitted on study due to the potential to 
decrease ESK-001 exposure.  However, the use of H2 blockers (e.g., famotidine or ranitidine) 
and calcium carbonate-containing antacids (eg, Tums or Rolaids) are allowed during the study 
but should be taken at least 2 hours after a dose of study drug. 
6.12.1. 
Allowed Vaccinations 
Inactivated vaccines (including but not limited to COVID-19 vaccines and boosters) will be 
allowed while on study. The study site should follow local guidelines related to COVID-19. 
6.12.2. 
Prohibited Medications 
Medication and treatment restrictions applicable before the dosing period are listed as exclusion 
criteria in Section 5.3. These restrictions are applicable for the duration of the study and are 
summarized in Table 2. Prior and concomitant medication will be recorded.

DISCONTINUATION 
7.1. 
Discontinuation of the Study or Site 
The Sponsor has the right to terminate this study at any time. Reasons for terminating the study 
may include, but are not limited to:  
• Incidence or severity of adverse events in this or other studies indicating a potential 
safety risk to patients. 
• Unsatisfactory patient recruitment e.g., excessively slow 
• Poor protocol adherence 
• Incomplete or inaccurate data recording 
• Poor compliance with the International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) guidelines 
for Good Clinical Practice (GCP) 
In any instance of early discontinuation of the study, the Sponsor will notify, in writing, the 
investigators, regulatory authorities and ethics committees, and will specify the reason(s) for 
termination. 
7.2. 
Study Drug Discontinuation 
Patients should discontinue study drug for any of the following reasons: 
• Malignancy, not including local and non-serious basal, squamous cell skin cancer or 
ductal carcinoma in situ 
• Pregnancy 
• Anaphylaxis, anaphylactoid or serious hypersensitivity reaction 
• Use of any medication, intended to chronically treat psoriasis (refer to Section 6.12.2), 
other than those documented at screening 
• Adverse event which in the opinion of the investigator or SMC precludes the patient from 
safely continuing in the study 
• Patient is noncompliant with study requirements 
The date and reason for discontinuation should be documented in the eCRF. 
Patients who discontinue study drug should continue in the study to complete all scheduled 
assessments. 
Those patients who are unwilling or unable to complete all remaining study assessments should 
return to the study site 2 weeks (± 7 days) after the date study drug was discontinued, to 
complete the early study termination assessments (ET Visit).

7.3. 
Discontinuation of Individual Patients 
Reasons for patient discontinuation from the study may include but are not limited to any of the 
following reasons: 
• Patient withdrawal of consent 
• Discretion of the Investigator, if it is deemed not safe, or in the patient’s best interest, to 
continue 
• SMC recommendation 
• Patient is lost to follow-up 
The date and reason for discontinuation should be documented in the eCRF.  
Patients who discontinue the study should return to the site to complete the early study 
termination assessments (ET Visit) within 2 weeks (± 7 days) from the date of discontinuation. 
If a patient discontinues the study without notifying the Investigator, every effort should be made 
to contact the patient to identify the reason for discontinuation and to encourage the patient to 
complete the applicable ET visit assessments.  If documented attempts to contact the patient fail, 
and a reason for the patient’s discontinuation is undiscoverable, a patient can be declared as "lost 
to follow up" at the end of the study. All efforts to contact the patient should be documented in 
the source documents.

STUDY ASSESSMENTS AND PROCEDURES 
For timing of assessments, refer to the Schedule of Assessments (SOA) in Section 1.3.  
8.1. 
Eligibility Screening 
Informed consent will be obtained at Screening before performing any study procedures. 
Patients will undergo Screening assessments, including, but not limited to blood sampling, ECG, 
clinical assessment and various QoL assessments. Patients may be rescreened once no sooner 
than 2 weeks after an initial screen failure after discussion with the medical monitor. 
Medical and medication history as well as demographic data, including biological sex, age, race, 
body weight (kg) and height (cm) will be recorded.  
8.2. 
Efficacy Assessments 
8.2.1. 
Psoriasis Area and Severity Index  
Disease activity will be assessed by the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) at the 
timepoints indicated in the Schedule of Assessments (see Section 1.3). The PASI system derives 
a score for the severity of psoriatic lesions by evaluating erythema, induration, and scaling in 
each of 4 body regions, as detailed in Appendix A. The primary and secondary endpoints are 
based on the PASI response at the end of treatment (12-week timepoint). 
8.2.2. 
Psoriasis Body Surface Area 
Measurement of psoriasis body surface area (BSA) involvement is estimated using the handprint 
method with the size of a patient’s handprint representing ~1% of body surface area involved. 
The total BSA = 100% with breakdown by body region as follows: head and neck = 10% (10 
handprints), upper extremities = 20% (20 handprints), trunk including axillae and groin = 30% 
(30 handprints), lower extremities including buttocks = 40% (40 handprints). BSA assessments 
should be performed by a dermatologist or appropriately trained investigator who is experienced 
in the assessment of psoriasis patients. 
8.2.3. 
Physician’s Global Assessment 
Patients will be assessed by the static Physician’s Global Assessment (sPGA) at the timepoints 
indicated in the Schedule of Assessments (see Section 1.3). Appendix B presents the scoring 
system used for the sPGA. 
8.2.4. 
Patient-Reported Outcomes  
Quality of life (QoL) will be assessed by patient-reported outcomes: the Dermatology Life 
Quality Index (DLQI), the EQ-5D, and the pruritus numerical rating scale (NRS) at the 
timepoints indicated in the Schedule of Assessments (see Section 1.3). The 10-question DLQI is 
presented in Appendix C, the 5-question EQ-5D-5L is shown in Appendix D, and the pruritus 
NRS is presented in Appendix E.

8.3. 
Safety Assessments 
ESK-001 is not an approved drug and as a result the entire safety profile is not known at this 
time. This Phase 2 study will contribute to the understanding of the safety profile for ESK-001 
and for its use in patients with moderate to severe psoriasis. 
Safety assessments will consist of recording all AEs and SAEs, protocol-specified laboratory 
variables, vital signs, and the results from other protocol-specified tests that are deemed critical 
to the safety evaluation of ESK-001. Dedicated eCRFs will be used to collect information on 
specific AEs, including SAEs, and pregnancies. 
8.3.1. 
Adverse Events 
An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in any study participant enrolled in a 
clinical investigation administered a pharmaceutical product regardless of causal attribution.  
An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory 
finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of an investigational product, 
whether or not it is thought to be related to the investigational product. 
In addition to new events, any increase in the severity or frequency of a pre-existing condition 
that occurs is considered an AE. 
Only clinically significant laboratory test abnormalities (in the medical opinion of the 
Investigator) that require active management (e.g., abnormalities that require study drug 
discontinuation, more frequent follow-up assessments, further diagnostic investigation, etc.) 
should be listed as AEs. See Section 8.3.1.3 for more details. 
If the AE constitutes a disease or syndrome (e.g., upper respiratory tract infection), only the 
diagnosis (e.g., upper respiratory tract infection) should be recorded as an AE and not the 
individual symptoms (fever, headaches, body aches, runny nose, sore throat, etc.). If an AE is 
due to an inactivated vaccine, the AE together with the etiology should clearly be recorded. 
Other untoward events occurring in the framework of a clinical study will be recorded as AEs, 
e.g., those occurring during treatment-free periods (including Screening or post-treatment 
follow-up periods) in association with study-related procedures and assessments, or under 
placebo. For study drugs, lack of efficacy may be an expected potential outcome and should not 
be reported as an AE unless the event is unusual in some way, e.g., greater in severity. 
Concomitant illnesses: Medical conditions which existed prior to entry into the clinical study 
will not be considered AEs unless they worsen (frequency or severity) during the treatment 
period. Pre-existing conditions will be recorded as part of the participant’s medical history. Day 
to day fluctuations of pre-existing disease should not be recorded as an AE on the AE eCRF. 
Disease under study (psoriasis):  Disease related progression and worsening signs or symptoms 
of the disease under study are not AEs and are not to be recorded on the AE page of the eCRF 
unless the event meets the definition of an SAE or is not consistent with the typical clinical 
course of the patient’s disease as established by the patient’s medical history. 
Surgical or diagnostic procedures: For medical or surgical procedures (e.g., colonoscopy, 
biopsy), the medical condition that led to the procedure is an AE. Elective procedures (e.g., 


Alumis Inc. 
Clinical Study Protocol 
ESK-001-006

Version 3.0 
Page 36 of 63 
09 August 2022 
 
vasectomy), planned hospitalization, and procedures for treatment of conditions noted in the 
patient’s medical history that have not worsened (e.g., hernia repair) are not considered AEs. 
All reported AEs will be coded using the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities 
(MedDRA). 
8.3.1.1. 
Recording of Adverse Events 
Adverse events should be collected and recorded for each patient from the date of the first 
screening/eligibility assessment until the end of their participation in the study, i.e., the patient 
has discontinued or completed the study. 
Reporting of AEs prior to first dose should only include SAEs or AEs resulting from any 
protocol-related interventions. 
Adverse events are to be recorded on the AE page of the eCRF. The following information will 
be recorded at the time the AE is reported and during follow up during the course of the AE: 
• Whether or not the AE is an SAE (see Section 8.3.1.2.1) 
• AE severity using CTCAE criteria (see Section 8.3.1.2.2) 
• AE relationship to study drug (see Section 8.3.1.2.3) 
• Action taken; including but not limited to, none, study drug dose modification or 
discontinuation, required concomitant medication, required procedure, or other 
• Outcome:  recorded as event resolved, resolved with sequelae, ongoing, or death 
If an adverse event is persistent i.e. continues between various study assessment timepoints 
without resolution it should be recorded only once (see Section 8.3.1.3). 
8.3.1.2. 
Assessment of Adverse Events 
Each AE will be assessed by the Principal Investigator per the categories discussed in the 
following sections. 
8.3.1.2.1. 
Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) 
The Investigator is responsible for determining whether an AE meets the definition of an SAE. 
An SAE is any AE that results in any of the following outcomes: 
• Death 
• Life-threatening, i.e., an AE that, in the investigator’s opinion, places the subject at 
immediate risk of death  
• Inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization 
• A persistent or significant disability or incapacity, i.e., a substantial disruption in the 
subject’s ability to conduct normal life functions 
• A congenital anomaly or birth defect in a neonate or infant born to a mother exposed to 
study drug 


Alumis Inc. 
Clinical Study Protocol 
ESK-001-006 
CONFIDENTIAL 
 
Version 3.0 
Page 37 of 63 
09 August 2022 
 
• Significant medical events that, in the opinion of the Investigator, may jeopardize the 
subject or may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent any of the outcomes 
listed in this definition.  
8.3.1.2.2. 
Severity 
The severity of an event describes the degree of impact upon the subject and/or the need for 
medical care necessary to treat the event. All clinical AEs encountered during the clinical study 
will be reported on the AE page of the eCRF. Severity of AEs will be graded based on a 
modified CTCAE, Version 5.0 and reported in detail as indicated on the eCRF. For any AEs not 
found in the CTCAE, a description of intensity grading can be found below: 
Grade 1 - Mild 
Asymptomatic or mild symptoms; clinical or diagnostic observations only; 
intervention not indicated. 
Grade 2 - Moderate 
Minimal, local or noninvasive intervention indicated; limiting age-appropriate 
instrumental activities of daily living. 
Grade 3 - Severe 
Medically significant but not immediately life-threatening; hospitalization or 
prolongation of hospitalization indicated; disabling; limiting self-care activities of 
daily living. 
Grade 4 - Life-threatening 
Life threatening consequences; urgent intervention indicated 
Grade 5 – Death 
Death related to AE 
 
Any change in severity of a persistent AE will be captured by recording a new AE with the 
current severity and a start date of when the severity changed. The prior event will be updated 
with a stop date of when the severity changed. When changes in the severity of an AE occur 
more frequently than once a day, the maximum intensity for the event should be noted for that 
day.  
8.3.1.2.3. 
Relationship to Study Drug 
The Principal Investigator will assess the causality/relationship between the study drug and the 
AE. One of the categories described in Table 3 should be selected based on medical judgment, 
considering the definitions below and all contributing factors. 
Table 3 
Assessment of Relationship of Adverse Events to Study Drug  
The Investigator should assess causality by answering either “related” or “unrelated” to the 
question, “Is there a reasonable possibility that the event may have been caused by the study 
treatment?”.  
 
 


Alumis Inc. 
Clinical Study Protocol 
ESK-001-006 
CONFIDENTIAL 
 
Version 3.0 
Page 38 of 63 
09 August 2022 
 
Related 
A clinical event, including laboratory test abnormality, occuring in a plausible time 
relationship to treatment administration, and which concurrent disease or other drugs 
or chemicals cannot explain.  
Unrelated 
A clinical event, including laboratory test abnormality, with little or no temporal 
relationship with treatment administration.  
 
The following factors may be used in consideration of causality assessment:  
 
• Temporal relationship of the event onset to initiation of study drug  
• Amount and duration of study treatment exposure 
• Course of the event, including consideration for challenge/rechallenge:  
◦ 
Did the event abate after study treatment was reduced or interrupted? Did the 
event reappear after study treatment was reintroduced?  
• Confounding risk factors in the patient that may explain or are associated with the event  
• Concomitant medications known to cause or are associated with the event  
• Known association of the event with the disease under study 
• Known association of the event with similar study treatments 
 
 
8.3.1.2.4. 
Suspected Unexpected Adverse Reactions (SUSARs) 
Suspected unexpected adverse reactions (SUSARs) are SAEs that are unexpected per the 
Reference Safety Information section of the IB and judged by the Investigator and/or Sponsor to 
be related to ESK-001. 
 
An adverse reaction is ‘unexpected’ if its nature and severity are not consistent with the 
information about the study drug: 
• In the case of a product with a marketing authorization, in the summary of product 
characteristics for that product. 
• In the case of any other investigational product, in the Investigator’s Brochure relating to 
the trial in question 
 
The Sponsor or designee will report SUSARs to the appropriate regulatory authorities and 
Investigator’s as required, according to the local law. 
 
8.3.1.3. 
Reporting Adverse Events 
Diagnosis versus Signs and Symptoms 
If known, a diagnosis should be recorded on the eCRF rather than individual signs and symptoms 
(e.g., record only liver failure or hepatitis rather than jaundice, asterixis, and elevated 
transaminases). However, if a constellation of signs and/or symptoms cannot be medically 
characterized as a single diagnosis or syndrome at the time of reporting, each individual event 


Alumis Inc. 
Clinical Study Protocol 
ESK-001-006 
CONFIDENTIAL 
 
Version 3.0 
Page 39 of 63 
09 August 2022 
 
should be recorded as an AE or SAE on the eCRF. If a diagnosis is subsequently established, it 
should be reported as follow-up information and the diagnosis entered in the eCRF. 
AEs Occurring Secondary to Other Events 
In general, AEs occurring secondary to other events (e.g., cascade events or clinical sequelae) 
should be identified by their primary cause. For example, if severe diarrhea is known to have 
resulted in dehydration, it is sufficient to record only diarrhea as an AE or SAE on the eCRF.  
However, medically significant AEs occurring secondary to an initiating event that are separated 
in time should be recorded as independent events on the eCRF. For example, if a severe 
gastrointestinal hemorrhage leads to renal failure, both events should be recorded separately on 
the eCRF. 
Persistent or Recurrent AEs 
A persistent AE is one that extends continuously, without resolution between subject evaluation 
time points. Such events should only be recorded once in the eCRF unless their severity changes. 
If a persistent AE changes in severity, it should be recorded as a separate AE on the Adverse 
Event eCRF.  
A recurrent AE is one that occurs and resolves between subject evaluation time points and 
subsequently recurs. All recurrent AEs should be recorded on an Adverse Event eCRF. 
Abnormal Lab Values 
Only clinically significant laboratory abnormalities that require active management will be 
recorded as AEs or SAEs on the eCRF including but not limited to association with clinical 
findings, change to study drug (e.g. study drug discontinuation), more frequent follow-up 
assessments, further diagnostic investigation. 
If the clinically significant laboratory abnormality is a sign of a disease or syndrome (e.g., 
increased alkaline phosphatase associated with cholecystitis), only the diagnosis (e.g., 
cholecystitis) should be recorded on the eCRF. 
If the clinically significant laboratory abnormality is not a sign of a disease or syndrome, the 
abnormality itself should be recorded as an AE or SAE on the eCRF. If the laboratory 
abnormality can be characterized by a precise clinical term, the clinical term should be recorded 
as the AE or SAE. For example, an elevated serum potassium level should be recorded as 
“hyperkalemia”. 
Observations of the same clinically significant laboratory abnormality from visit to visit should 
not be repeatedly recorded as AEs or SAEs on the Adverse Event eCRF, unless their severity, 
seriousness, or etiology changes. 
Follow up of abnormal lab values: Repeat testing of the abnormal labs should be performed as 
clinically indicated, in the opinion of the Investigator, until they have returned to the normal 
range and/or an adequate explanation of the abnormality is found and the lab value stabilizes.

8.3.1.4. 
Reporting of SAEs 
Any AE that is serious and that occurs during the course of the study from the signing of the 
informed consent to end of study for each patient must be reported by the Investigator to the 
following: 
• The Sponsor (or designee) and study monitor within 24 hours of the Investigator 
becoming aware of the event (expedited reporting). 
• The investigation site’s IRB/IEC by the Investigator in accordance with their regulations. 
Initial Notification of a Serious Adverse Event (SAE) 
Pharmacovigilance must be informed in writing 24 hours from the time the site investigational 
team first becomes aware of the event using the EDC system, as well as completing a paper SAE 
report forms. 
A paper SAE form including a written, narrative description of any SAE must be sent via email 
(preferred) or fax within 24 hours after awareness of the event to: 
Email: 
 
Phone: 
 
Fax: 
 
Paper SAE forms must be retained in the Investigator Site File. 
In addition to reporting the SAE in the EDC and emailing the paper form, the local CRA and the 
Medical Monitor must be alerted via phone.  
As further information regarding the SAE becomes available, follow-up information should be 
documented as an update using the paper SAE form.  Follow-up information should be reported 
with 24 hours of awareness. 
Related SAEs must be collected and reported regardless of the time elapsed from the last 
administration of study drug, even if the study has been closed. 
Unrelated SAEs must be collected and reported during the study and for up to 30 days after the 
last dose of study medication. 
SUSARs are reported to Investigators at each site and associated IRB/IEC when the following 
conditions occur: 
• The event is an SAE 
• There is reasonable possibility that the event is an adverse reaction caused by the 
administered drug 
• The adverse reaction is unexpected, that is to say, not foreseen in the IB 
Individual SUSARs considered to be a significant safety issues and/or which result in a change 
to the informed consent form will be reported in an expedited manner to all Investigators and 
IRB/IECs.

Reporting of any SAEs to applicable regulatory authorities will be the responsibility of the Local 
Sponsor in compliance with local regulations. 
8.3.1.5. 
Follow-up of Adverse Events 
AEs, especially those for which the relationship to study drug is “related”, should continue to be 
followed during the patient’s participation in the study until they have returned to baseline status 
or stabilized at a level acceptable to the Principal Investigator and Medical Monitor. 
If after patient study completion, return to baseline status or stabilization cannot be established, 
an explanation should be recorded in the source documents. 
8.3.1.6. 
Pregnancy 
Pregnancies occurring in a female patient or in a male patient’s partner while enrolled in this 
clinical study through 1 month after the last dose of study drug administration, must be reported 
on a Pregnancy Reporting Form within 24 hours of the investigator, designee, or site personnel 
learning of the pregnancy. 
Pregnancy Reporting Forms should be sent via email (preferred) or fax to: 
Email: 
 
Phone: 
 
Fax: 
 
If a patient becomes pregnant while taking study drug, the study drug will be immediately 
discontinued and the pregnancy must be reported within 24 hours of learning of the event. The 
investigator will discuss the risks and concerns of investigational drug exposure to a developing 
fetus and counsel the subject and/or pregnant partner (or ensure such counselling is provided). 
An uncomplicated pregnancy will not be considered an AE or SAE. Elective abortions without 
complications should not be regarded as AEs, unless they were therapeutic abortions . 
Hospitalization for normal delivery of a healthy newborn should not be considered an SAE. 
All pregnancies will be followed through birth.  In the event there is a congenital anomaly or 
birth defect in a neonate or infant born to a mother exposed to study drug both the offspring and 
mother will be followed for 3 months post-delivery. Any congenital anomaly or birth defect in 
the offspring of a subject who received investigational product will be reported as an SAE. The 
outcome of any pregnancy and the presence or absence of any congenital anomaly or birth defect 
will be recorded in the source documentation and reported to the Sponsor and/or its designee. 
The investigator will complete the Pregnancy Reporting Form or paper SAE form, as applicable, 
and report the information regarding the pregnancy, outcome, and status of the newborn, as 
appropriate. 
8.3.2. 
Clinical Laboratory Assessments 
Samples for clinical laboratory assessments will be collected at the time points detailed in the 
Schedule of Assessments (see Section 1.3).

Laboratory safety tests may be performed at unscheduled time points, if deemed necessary by the 
Investigator. Screening laboratory safety tests may be repeated upon discussion with the 
Sponsor/Medical Monitor. 
The Laboratory Manual will supply complete written instructions for collection, handling, 
processing, storage, and shipping of samples. 
8.3.3. 
Vital Signs 
Vital signs will be assessed at the time points detailed in the Schedule of Assessments (see 
Section 1.3). The following vital signs will be measured: 
• Blood pressure (systolic and diastolic [mmHg]) 
• Heart rate (bpm) 
• Body temperature (°C) 
BP and heart rate recordings will be made after the patient has been resting supine or semi-
recumbent for ≥5 minutes. 
8.3.4. 
 Electrocardiograms 
12-lead ECGs will be performed at time points detailed in the Schedule of Assessments (see 
Section 1.3). 
The12-lead ECGs will be performed after the patient has been resting supine or semi-reclined for 
≥ 5 minutes. The ECG paper tracing will be assessed by the study investigator for any 
abnormality and for clinical significance. The ECG parameters that will be measured include but 
are not limited to: PR interval, QRS interval, RR interval, QT interval, and QTc. 
The ECGs will be sent electronically to a central location to be analyzed and over-read. The 
study site should review the centrally read report as soon as possible once available. The central 
report findings should be compared to the local paper ECG findings reported by the site. Any 
difference in reported ECG findings should be reconciled by the Investigator. The study team 
does not require a report back from this central location to act on any findings identified on the 
paper ECG tracing that, in the opinion of the study investigator, are clinically significant. 
8.3.5. 
Physical Examinations 
Physical examinations will be performed at the time points detailed in the Schedule of 
Assessments (see Section 1.3). 
Complete Physical Examination 
An assessment of general appearance and a review of systems (dermatologic, head, eyes, ears, 
nose, mouth/throat/neck, thyroid, lymph nodes, respiratory, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, 
extremities, musculoskeletal, neurologic and psychiatric systems). A gynecological or genital 
examination is not required unless it is deemed necessary in the opinion of the Principal 
Investigator.

SAFETY MONITORING COMMITTEE 
A Safety Monitoring Committee (SMC) will be convened to review the safety data throughout 
this study. The SMC will consist of the Sponsor’s Medical Director; the study Medical Monitor 
(from the CRO); two independent physicians with clinical trial experience, one with dermatology 
expertise and the other a cardiologist; and an independent statistician.  
The SMC may meet at any time during the study to review blinded (or unblinded, if required) 
data when deemed necessary by the SMC. 
The SMC will initially convene to review all available safety data after approximately 50 
patients have been randomized and completed their Week 4 visit. The SMC will also meet 
regularly thereafter, based upon accumulating safety data and patient enrollment. The final 
prescheduled meeting of the SMC will be after study completion; to evaluate all safety data from 
all patients enrolled in the study. The SMC may also review safety data from eligible patients 
who complete this study and who enter an ESK-001 open label extension study. 
The roles and responsibilities of SMC members and the SMC procedures and communication 
pathways are detailed in the SMC Charter.

STATISTICAL CONSIDERATIONS 
Before database lock, a statistical analysis plan will be issued as a separate document, providing 
detailed methods for the analyses outlined below. Any deviations from the planned analyses will 
be described and justified in the clinical study report. 
The baseline value of any variable will be defined as the last available value prior to the first 
administration of study drug (ESK-001 or placebo). A patient is considered randomized into the 
study following treatment assignment by IxRS. 
All statistical tests will be two-sided. Except where noted, evaluation of continuous variables 
will be performed using ANOVA; ANOVA will be replaced by the nonparametric counterpart if 
normality assumptions are severely violated. Between-group comparisons involving discrete data 
will be performed using contingency table methodology. Descriptive summaries of continuous 
data will present the group mean, SD, median, range, and sample size. Descriptive summaries of 
discrete data will report the number of patients and incidence as a frequency and as a percentage. 
Statistical comparisons will be performed at the 0.05 level of significance. 
10.1. 
Analysis of the Conduct of the Study 
The disposition of patients will be summarized by treatment group with respect to the number of 
patients randomized, treated, and completing the study. For patients who discontinue treatment 
early, reasons for discontinuation will be summarized by treatment group. 
Important Protocol Deviations (IPD) will be summarized. ICH E3 defines important protocol 
deviations as a subset of protocol deviations that may significantly impact the completeness, 
accuracy, and/or reliability of the study data or that may significantly affect a subject’s rights, 
safety, or well-being. 
10.2. 
Analysis of Treatment Group Comparability 
Demographics (age, sex, race/ethnicity) and baseline characteristics (e.g., duration of psoriasis, 
psoriasis severity at baseline, baseline PASI) will be summarized by treatment group. 
10.3. 
Efficacy Analyses 
Efficacy analyses will be based on the intent-to-treat (ITT) approach. All patients randomized 
(ITT population) will be included in the analysis, and subjects will be analyzed according to their 
randomized treatment. Unless otherwise noted, analyses of efficacy outcome measures will be 
stratified by prior use of biologics and geographic region.  
10.3.1. 
Primary Efficacy Endpoint 
The proportion of patients in the active treatment groups with ≥75% improvement in PASI at 
Week 12 relative to baseline will be compared between each treatment group and placebo using 
the Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel test adjusting for stratification factors.

10.3.2. 
Secondary Efficacy Endpoints 
Similar analyses as in the primary efficacy analyses will be performed to compare any two active 
arms. 
The proportion of patients in each treatment group and placebo with sPGA categories 0 or 1 
(cleared or minimal) at Week 12 will be compared using the Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel test 
adjusting for stratification factors. 
The proportion of patients in each treatment group and placebo with response rate in PASI-50, 
90, and 100 at Week 12 relative to baseline will be compared using methods similar to those 
used for PASI-75. 
Change in percent BSA at Week 12 relative to baseline will be performed using ANOVA or 
analogous nonparametric methods. 
Change from baseline in DLQI at Week 12 relative to baseline will be performed using ANOVA 
or analogous nonparametric methods. 
The proportion of patients in each treatment group and placebo with ≥75% improvement in PASI 
Week 12 relative to baseline will be compared using the Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel test adjusting 
for stratification factors. 
No adjustments for multiplicity will be performed. 
Graphical methods may be used to display efficacy data. 
10.3.3. 
Exploratory Endpoints 
• Change from baseline in pruritus NRS score at Week 12 will be performed using ANOVA or 
analogous nonparametric methods. 
• Change from baseline in EQ-5D at Week 12 will be performed using ANOVA or analogous 
nonparametric methods. 
• Change from baseline in psoriasis and TYK2-related skin biomarkers in response to 
ESK-001 treatment. 
• Change from baseline in psoriasis and TYK2-related blood-based biomarkers in response to 
ESK-001 treatment. 
• Change from baseline in transcriptomic and proteomic expression in response to ESK-001 
treatment. 
Exploratory PD endpoint analyses may not be included in the CSR. 
10.4. 
Safety Analyses 
Safety will be assessed through the summary of adverse events, serious adverse events, 
laboratory test results, ECG parameters, and vital signs. Safety analyses will include all subjects 
who receive at least one dose of either ESK-001 or placebo. Subjects will be analyzed according 
to the actual treatment received.

Patient deaths (if any) will be listed. 
10.4.1. 
Adverse Events 
Verbatim descriptions of treatment-emergent adverse events will be mapped to thesaurus terms 
using the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA). Adverse events will be 
tabulated by body system and preferred term. Summaries of adverse events by severity will be 
provided. Adverse events judged by the investigator to be related to treatment (ESK-001 or 
placebo) will be prepared. Serious adverse events will be summarized similarly. Adverse events 
leading to discontinuation from the study or treatment will be listed and tabulated. 
10.4.2. 
Laboratory Tests 
Descriptive summaries of laboratory values, including changes from baseline and 
treatment-emergent abnormalities, will be generated. Shift tables reflecting changes from 
baseline (e.g., normal to low, high) will be presented for a subset of laboratory parameters.  
The liver function tests, namely ALT, AST, ALP, and TBL, are used to assess possible drug-
induced liver toxicity (DILI). A listing of liver function test results that meet DILI criteria will be 
generated. 
10.4.3. 
12-Lead Electrocardiogram 
The RR, PR, QRS, and QT intervals will be measured and read by a central laboratory. HR will 
be calculated as 60/ (RR × 1000) (with RR expressed in msec) and rounded to the nearest 
integer. 
Correction for Heart Rate 
Corrected QT interval (QTc) will be calculated using the manually over-read QT values. Each 
individual ECG QT value will be corrected for HR. The measured QT data will be corrected for 
HR using QTcF as per the following formulae/method (with QT, RR and QTc expressed in 
msec): 
Fridericia’s Correction: 
 
ECG Numeric Variables 
HR, PR, QRS, and QTcF will be summarized using descriptive statistics. For each time point of 
measurement, the changes from baseline will be summarized using descriptive statistics. 
Categorical Analysis 
The incidence count and percentage of patients with any postdose QTcF values of >450 msec, 
>480 msec, and >500 msec will be tabulated. Patients with QTcF values >520 msec will be listed 
with corresponding baseline values, ∆QTcF, and baseline and treatment HR. The incidence count 
and percentage of patients with ∆QTcF increase from baseline of >30 msec and >60 msec will be 
tabulated.

Sample Size 
The sample size is determined based on the primary efficacy endpoint. Calculations are based on 
a 1:1:1:1:1:1 randomization ratio (ESK-001 doses 1-5 vs. placebo) and will provide at least 99% 
power to detect 50% increase in the PASI-75 response rate in an active arm (i.e., 60% response 
rate) compared to the placebo assuming the response rate is 10% in the placebo arm. With a two-
sided, two-sample test at a significance level of 0.05, a sample size of 35 patients per arm for a 
total of 210 patients is planned. 
10.8. 
Interim Analyses 
An independent SMC will be established to monitor safety data during the study. See Section 9

ETHICAL, LEGAL, AND ADMINISTRATIVE ASPECTS 
11.1. 
Data Quality Assurance 
The overall procedure for quality assurance of clinical study data, including data collection and 
management, will be described in the Data Management Plan. 
Accurate and reliable data collection will be assured by verification and cross-check of the eCRF 
against the Investigator's records by the study monitor (source document verification), and the 
maintenance of Drug Accountability by the Investigator. Monitoring details describing strategy, 
methods, responsibilities, and requirements, including handling of noncompliance issues and 
monitoring techniques are provided in the Monitoring Plan and contracts. 
Electronic data capture (EDC) will be utilized. All patient data relating to the study will be 
entered by the study center from the source documents into the electronic case report forms 
(eCRFs) unless transmitted to the Sponsor or designee electronically (e.g., laboratory data). In no 
case is the eCRF to be considered as source data for the study. 
Validation checks will be programmed within the EDC system to identify potential data 
discrepancies. Additionally, Sponsor personnel or designee will review the data entered by 
investigational staff for completeness and accuracy. If potential discrepancies are discovered, 
electronic data queries stating the nature of the potential discrepancy and requesting clarification 
will be sent to the site via the EDC system. Designated investigator site staff are required to 
respond promptly to queries and make necessary changes to the data. The sponsor assumes 
accountability for actions delegated to other individuals (e.g., contract research organizations) 
For classification purposes, preferred terms will be assigned to the original terms recorded on the 
eCRF, using MedDRA for AEs, diseases and surgical and medical procedures, and the 
WHODrug dictionary for drug and herbal treatments. 
11.2. 
Protocol Amendments and Study Completion 
Protocol amendments must be made only with the prior approval of the Sponsor or its designees. 
The Institutional Review Board (IRB)/Independent Ethics Committee (IEC) must be informed of 
all amendments and give approval for all amendments. For studies conducted out of the US, 
approval of all substantial amendments must be obtained from the relevant Competent 
Regulatory Authority before implementation. The Investigator must send a copy of the approval 
letter from the IRB/IEC to the Sponsor and/or its designees. 
Approval must be obtained before any changes can be implemented, except for Changes 
necessary to eliminate an immediate hazard to study patients, or when the change(s) involves 
only logistical or administrative aspects of the study (e.g., change in monitor, change of 
telephone number). 
The Sponsor reserves the right to terminate the study, according to the Clinical Study 
Agreement. 
Study completion is defined as the date when all patients have completed the final study visit, 
and the study database has been locked.

11.3. 
Informed Consent 
The Investigator and Sponsor must agree upon the format and content of the informed consent 
for (ICF) before it is submitted to the IRB/IEC for approval. A copy of the IRB/IEC approved 
ICF will be forwarded to the Sponsor. Written IRB/IEC approved informed consent and Health 
Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) release (or other privacy protection 
release, as governed by local regulations) must be obtained from each patient before any study-
related activities are conducted. The Investigator must retain all original signed and dated ICFs 
in the patient’s file. A copy of the signed and dated ICF must be given to the patient. 
The ICF documents the study-specific information the Investigator provides to the patient for the 
patient’s agreement to participate. Among other things, the Investigator or his/her designee will 
fully explain in layman's terms the nature of the study, along with the aims, methods, anticipated 
benefits, potential risks, and any discomfort participation may entail. The ICF must be 
appropriately signed and dated before the patient enters the study. 
Patients will be informed of findings from the earlier or concurrent clinical studies (including 
AEs), if it is considered that such information could potentially affect patients’ willingness to 
participate or continue in the study. Depending on the nature, severity, and seriousness of these 
AEs, the ICF may be amended as deemed appropriate. All amended signed and dated ICF(s) 
must be retained in the patients’ files at the study sites; and a copy must be given to the patient. 
11.4. 
Data Handling and Record Keeping 
11.4.1. 
Patient Confidentiality and Disclosure of Data 
The Investigator must ensure that each patient’s anonymity is maintained as described below. On 
the eCRFs or other documents submitted to the Sponsor and/or its designees, patients must only 
be identified by study, Patient Identification Number, and demographics, and pertinent 
restrictions of local regulations. No other personal identifies will be used, and data will be de-
identified in a manner compliant with Privacy Laws and, for US patients, the HIPAA 
regulations. Documents that are not for submission to the Sponsor and/or its designee (e.g., 
signed ICFs and Patient Information Sheets) should be kept in strict confidence by the 
Investigator in compliance with Federal regulations or other applicable laws or ICF and GCP 
guidelines. The Investigation and institution must permit authorized representatives of the 
Sponsor and/or its designee, representatives of the FDA, national and local health authorities, 
and the IRB/IEC direct access to review the patients’ original medical records for verification of 
study-related procedures and data. Direct access includes examining, analyzing, verifying and 
reproducing any records and reports that are needed for the evaluation of the study. The 
Investigation is obligated to inform the patient in the ICF that his/her study-related records will 
be reviewed, by the above-named representatives.  
Patients will be informed that data will be held on file, by the Sponsor, and that these data may 
be viewed by staff including the study monitor and by external auditors on behalf of the Sponsor 
and appropriate regulatory authorities. Patients will also be informed that a study report will be 
prepared and may be submitted to regulatory authorities and for publication. However, patients 
will be identified in such reports only by Patient Identification Number and demographics,

pertinent to restrictions of local regulations. All patient data will be held in strict confidence, as 
allowed by law. 
Upon the patient’s permission, medical information may be given to the patient’s personal 
physician or other appropriate medical personnel responsible for the patient's welfare. 
11.4.2. 
Electronic Case Report Forms (eCRFs) 
The data collected in the source documents for this study will be entered by designated study 
staff into the eCRF which uses fully validated software that conforms to 21 CFR Part 11 
requirements. An audit trail will maintain a record of initial entries and changes made, time and 
date of entry, and name of person making the entry or change. Site staff will not be given access 
to the EDC system until they have been trained.  
Guidance on completion of eCRFs will be provided in CRF completion guidelines. 
The Investigator must ensure that complete data for the clinical study are collected, accurately 
documented in the appropriate sections of the eCRF, and adequately supported by appropriate 
source documentation. For each patient enrolled, the Investigator is responsible for verifying the 
accuracy, completeness, and timeliness of the data entries by electronically signing the eCRF. 
A site-specific eCRF archive and audit trail will be provided at the close of the study to each 
Investigator. The Sponsor or designee will retain the eCRF archive and audit trail for all 
investigative sites. 
11.4.3. 
Retention and Availability of Records 
The Investigator is required to retain the study records and reports until at least 2 years after the 
last approval of a marketing application in an ICH region and until there are no pending or 
contemplated marketing application in an ICH region or at least 2 years have elapsed since the 
formal discontinuation of clinical development of the investigational product. If no marketing 
application is to be filed, or an application is not approved for the drug, the Investigator will 
retain the study records for 2 years after shipment and delivery of the drug for investigational use 
is discontinued and the Sponsor has so notified the FDA, per 21 CFR 312.27. Study records 
should, however, be retained longer if required by the applicable national and/or local regulatory 
requirements or by agreement with the Sponsor. 
The Investigator must make study data accessible to the monitor, other authorized representative

APPENDICES 
Appendix A Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) 
The PASI is a grading system used for the evaluation of the severity of psoriatic lesions and 
their  response to treatment. The PASI produces a numeric score that can range from 0 to 72. 
The severity of a subject’s disease is calculated as described below: 
The body is divided into 4 regions for determining total body surface area (BSA):  
• the head (h), trunk (t), upper extremities (ux) and lower extremities (lx),  
• which account for 10% (0.1), 30% (0.3), 20% (0.2), and 40% (0.4) respectively of BSA  
Each of these areas are evaluated for erythema (E), induration (I) and scaling (S), which are 
rated on a scale from 0 to 4. 
The scoring system for the signs of disease (erythema, induration and scaling) is below: 
0 = none 
1 = slight 
2 = moderate 
3 = severe 
4 = very severe 
The scoring system for estimating the area (A) of involvement for psoriatic lesions is outlined 
below: 
0 = no involvement 
1 = 1% to 9% involvement 
2 = 10% to 29% involvement 
3 = 30% to 49% involvement 
4 = 50% to 69% involvement 
5 = 70% to 89% involvement 
6 = 90% to 100% involvement 
To aid in the area assessments, the following conventions are followed: 
a. the neck is considered part of the head 
b. the axilla and groin are considered part of the trunk 
c. the buttocks are considered part of the lower extremities 
The PASI formula is: 
PASI = 0.1(Eh + Sh + Ih)Ah + 0.3(Et + St + It)At + 0.2(Eux + Sux + Iux)Aux + 0.4(Elx + Slx + Ilx)Alx 
Clinical assessments of response should be performed by the same assessor(s).

Appendix B Static Physician’s Global Assessment (sPGA) 
The Physician Global Assessment (PGA) is used to determine the subject’s psoriasis lesions 
overall at a given time point. Overall lesions will be graded for induration, erythema, and scaling 
based on the scales below. The sum of the 3 scales will be divided by 3 to obtain a final PGA 
score. 
 
Induration (I) (averaged over all lesions; use the National Psoriasis Foundation Reference card  
for measurement) 
0 = no evidence of plaque elevation 
1 = minimal plaque elevation, = 0.25 mm  
2 = mild plaque elevation, = 0.5 mm 
3 = moderate plaque elevation, = 0.75 mm  
4 = marked plaque elevation, = 1 mm 
5 = severe plaque elevation, = 1.25 mm or more 
 
 
Erythema (E) (averaged over all lesions) 
0 = no evidence of erythema, hyperpigmentation may be present  
1 = faint erythema 
2 = light red coloration 
3 = moderate red coloration 4 = bright red coloration 
5 = dusky to deep red coloration 
 
 
Scaling (S) (averaged over all lesions) 
0 = no evidence of scaling 
1 = minimal; occasional fine scale over less than 5% of the lesion  
2 = mild; fine scale dominates 
3 = moderate; coarse scale predominates 
4 = marked; thick, nontenacious scale dominates 
5 = severe; very thick tenacious scale predominates

Physician’s Static Global Assessment based upon above Total Average 
0 = Cleared, except for residual discoloration 
1 = Minimal - majority of lesions have individual scores for I + E + S / 3 that averages 1 
2 = Mild - majority of lesions have individual scores for I + E + S / 3 that averages 2 
3 = Moderate - majority of lesions have individual scores for I + E + S / 3 that averages 3 
4 = Marked - majority of lesions have individual scores for I + E + S / 3 that averages 4  
5 = Severe - majority of lesions have individual scores for I + E + S / 3 that averages 5 
 
Note: Scores should be rounded to the nearest whole number. If total ≤1.49, score = 1; if total 
≥1.50, score = 2.

INTRODUCTION 
The purpose of this statistical analysis plan (SAP) is to describe the procedures and the statistical 
methods that will be used to analyze and report results for the clinical study ESK-001-006 
Protocol Version 3.0 (Dated 09Aug2022). The SAP will be finalized prior to study unblinding 
and database lock for the clinical study report (CSR). Biomarker analysis defined in the 
biomarker-related exploratory objectives in the protocol is not included as part of the scope of 
the CSR (with the exception of T/B/NK cell counts as described in Section 10) and therefore will 
not be defined in this SAP. The analysis plan for these exploratory objectives will be detailed in 
a separate SAP authored by Precision Immunology at Alumis.

DETERMINATION OF SAMPLE SIZE 
The sample size is determined based on the primary efficacy endpoint. Calculations are based on 
a 1:1:1:1:1:1 randomization ratio (ESK-001 doses 1-5 vs. placebo) and will provide at least 99% 
power to detect 50% increase in the PASI-75 response rate in an active arm (i.e., 60% response 
rate) compared to the placebo assuming the response rate is 10% in the placebo arm. With a two-
sided, two-sample test at a significance level of 0.05, a sample size of 35 patients per arm for a 
total of 210 patients is planned. 
5 
GENERAL STATISTICAL CONSIDERATIONS 
The primary analysis for the efficacy endpoints will be conducted using data collected through 
the 12-week treatment period. Data will be cleaned and locked prior to conducting the primary 
analysis.  
The final analysis will be conducted after all subjects have completed their Week 16 or end of 
study (EOS) visit and after all study data is cleaned and locked.  
SAS® version 9.4 or higher will be used for statistical analyses, tabulations, and graphical 
presentations. 
In general, descriptive summaries will be presented by treatment groups (placebo and ESK-001 
dose levels) and overall, for values at each visit. The descriptive summary for continuous 
variables will also be provided for the change from baseline and, if appropriate, for the change 
from week 12 to week 16. Summaries of continuous variables will include the number of 
subjects (N), mean, standard deviation (SD), median, Q1, Q3, minimum, and maximum. If there 
are variables with highly skewed distribution (e.g. log-normal distribution), then the geometric 
mean and %CV will also be reported in descriptive summaries. Inferential analysis for those 
variables may be performed after log-transformation as deemed appropriate. Descriptive 
summaries for categorical variables will include the number and percentage of subjects. Unless 
otherwise stated, denominators for percentages will be the number of subjects in the analysis 
population. 
Between-group comparisons will focus on the comparative performance of a single ESK-001 
dose versus placebo. All statistical tests will be conducted at a 2-sided significance level of 0.05. 
The corresponding p-values and two-sided 95% confidence intervals will be reported. 
In general, baseline is defined as the last non-missing value prior to the first dose date and time. 
For subjects randomized but not dosed, the last non-missing value prior to the randomization 
date will be used as baseline. For any additional considerations, refer to each specific data 
section for details. 
In general, efficacy data and other non-safety data will be presented by analysis visits as defined 
by the analysis visit window. Data collected at unscheduled or early termination (ET) visits will 
also be mapped to analysis visits as defined in Appendix B. If a value does not fall within an 
analysis window, it will not be included in the summary analysis or comparative analysis.

However, these values will be included in data listings and SAS data sets. When more than 
1 value is available within the same analysis visit, the value collected closest to the target visit 
day will be used for analysis. If 2 values are equidistant to a target visit day (for example, 1 value 
is before and the other value is after the target day), then the value from the later date will be 
used for analysis.  
Safety lab, ECG and PK data will be summarized by the nominal visit (per protocol). 
Unscheduled visits will be presented in listings only.  
5.1 
Analysis Populations 
The following analysis populations are defined in this study: 
• Modified Intent-to-Treat (mITT) Population: All randomized subjects who received at least 
one dose of study drug, with analyses conducted according to the assigned treatment. This 
will be the analysis population used for the primary efficacy analysis at Week 12. 
• Intent-to-treat (ITT) Population: All randomized subjects, regardless of whether they receive 
study drug, with analyses conducted according to the assigned treatment.  
• Per-protocol (PP) Population: All subjects in the ITT population who have received at least 
one dose of study drug as assigned, have both baseline and at least one post-baseline PASI 
score, and have no important protocol deviations (IPD) which may affect key primary and 
secondary efficacy endpoints in the treatment period.  
• Safety Analysis Population: All randomized subjects who receive at least one dose of study 
drug with analyses conducted by actual treatment received. 
• PK Analysis Population: All randomized subjects who receive at least 1 dose of ESK-001 
and have at least one non-missing PK concentration with analysis conducted by actual 
treatment received. 
 
5.2 
Stratification Factors and Subgroups 
The baseline values for the following stratification factors will be summarized using descriptive 
statistics: 
• Prior use of biologics or JAK inhibitors (yes/no) 
• Geographic region (North America /rest of world (ROW)) 
 
The assigned (IXRS) and actual stratification factors will be summarized and listed for the mis-
stratified subjects. In the event which any errors are made in specifying the stratification factors 
for randomization, all efficacy analyses will be based on the actual classification according to the 
clinical database.

5.3 
Missing Data 
In general, missing data will not be imputed unless specifically stated in this SAP. Refer to 
Section 7 on handling of missing data for responder analyses. 
Handling of Missing Data: 
For data collected with start and end dates such as medical history and concomitant medications, 
the following may be applied to missing or partial dates: 
• Start Dates: 


Alumis Inc.

o If day is missing, then impute it to be the start of the month (eg, 01MMMYYYY); except 
if the month and year is equal to the first dose date month and year then impute the day to 
be the same day as the first  dose date. 
o If month is missing, then impute it to be the start of the year (eg, 01JANYYYY), except 
if the year is equal to the first dose date year then  impute the day and month to be the 
same as the first dose date. 
o If year is missing, then do not impute. 
• End Dates: 
o If day is missing, then impute it to be the end of the month (eg, 31MMMYYYY), except 
if the month and year is equal to the last assessment date month and year then the day 
should be imputed to the last participation date day . 
o If month is missing, then impute it to be the end of the year (eg, 31DECYYYY), except if 
the year is equal to the last participant date year  then the day and month should be 
imputed to the last participant date day and month. 
o If year is missing, then do not impute. 
• For all other type of dates: 
o If only day is missing, then impute it to be the start of the month (eg, 01MMMYYYY).  
o If month and day are missing, then impute it to be the start of the year (eg, 01JANYYYY).   
o If year is missing, then do not impute. 
 
5.4 
Multiplicity Control 
No adjustments for multiplicity control will be performed in this study. 
5.5 
Data Handling Conventions 
For safety laboratory data that are continuous in nature the following rules will be applied: 
• If a result is less than the lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ), it will be imputed to the value 
of the lower limit minus 1 significant figure (e.g., if the result of the laboratory test is < 30, a 
value of 29 will be assigned; if the result of the laboratory test is < 30.0, then a value of 29.9 
will be assigned; if the result of the laboratory test is < 1, a value of 0.9 will be assigned; if 
the results of the lab test is <  0.1, a value of 0.09 will be assigned). 
• If a result is above the upper limit of quantitation (ULOQ), it will be imputed to the value of 
the upper limit plus 1 significant figure. 
 
For PK concentration data, the following rules will be applied:

statistics for the duration of interruption (based on the maximum duration of interruption if more 
than one interruption per subject) will be presented. 
6.3 
Protocol Deviations 
Prior to database lock, all protocol deviations will be reviewed and confirmed by the Sponsor. 
Important protocol deviations (IPD) will be identified and summarized by category and listed for 
the Safety Analysis Population. 
International Council for Harmonisation (ICH) E3 guidance defines IPD as a subset of protocol 
deviations that may significantly impact the completeness, accuracy, and/or reliability of the 
study data or that may significantly affect a participant’s rights, safety, or well-being. 
Any IPDs which impact the interpretation of key primary and secondary efficacy analyses and 
considered for the Per Protocol Population will be identified through the study protocol deviation 
review process. 
The number of subjects that met IPD category of drug compliance below 80% will be 
programmatically derived based on calculated subject drug compliance as described in 
Section 6.2. 
6.4 
Medical History and Concomitant Procedures 
Medical history terms and concomitant procedures will be coded using the Medical Dictionary 
for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA) version 25.0. Frequency of medical history and 
concomitant procedures will be summarized by treatment group, SOC and PT for the Safety 
Analysis Population. A by subject listing will also be provided. 
6.5 
Prior and Concomitant Medications 
Prior and concomitant medications will be coded using the Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical 
(ATC) coding scheme of the World Health Organization Drug Dictionary (WHO DD Global B3 
March 2022). All concomitant, prior and prior Psoriasis medications will be summarized by 
treatment group, ATC2 level and standardized medication name for the Safety Analysis 
Population. A by-subject listing will also be provided. 
Prior medication is defined as medication with an end date prior to the first dose in the study and 
medication taken at any time during the study (ie, first dose through EOS) is considered 
concomitant. 
Prior psoriasis medications collected on a dedicated CRF will be presented separately and will be 
classified as phototherapies, biologic therapies, or systemic therapies through manual review by 
the medical monitor.

7.1 
Primary Efficacy Analyses 
7.1.1 
Psoriasis Area and Severity Index 
Disease activity will be assessed by the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) which derives 
a score for the severity of psoriatic lesions by evaluating erythema, induration, and scaling in 
each of 4 body regions, as detailed in Appendix C.  
The primary endpoint is the proportion of subjects achieving >=75% reduction in PASI score 
(PASI-75) at Week 12. 
The proportion of subjects achieving PASI-75 will be summarized for each post-dose timepoint 
by treatment group. The primary efficacy analysis will compare the proportion of subjects 
achieving PASI-75 at Week 12 between each active treatment and placebo using the CMH 
method as described in Section 7. This analysis will be repeated at Weeks 4 and 8.  
The absolute value, change and percent change from baseline in PASI score will be summarized 
using descriptive statistics by timepoint and treatment group. Additionally, the difference in the 
change from baseline between each active treatment and placebo will be assessed using 
ANCOVA model as described in Section 7. The analysis will be repeated with percent change 
from baseline as the dependent variable. Estimates of least-squares (LS) means, SEs, 2-sided 
95% CIs and p-values will be presented by treatment group for Weeks 4, 8 and 12.  
Absolute PASI scores and the proportion of subjects achieving PASI-75, PASI-90, PASI-100, 
PASI-50 will also be plotted over time by treatment. The proportion of subjects achieving 
PASI-50, PASI-75, PASI-90 and PASI-100 at Week 12 by treatment will be presented using a 
bar chart. The percent reduction in PASI at Week 12 for each individual subject will be 
presented by waterfall plot. Each treatment group will be presented on a separate plot.  
7.2 
Secondary Efficacy Analyses 
7.2.1 
Psoriasis Area and Severity Index 
To compare the proportion of subjects achieving PASI-75 at 12 weeks among the active 
treatment groups, the adjusted treatment difference, its associated 95% CI, and two-sided p-value 
will be presented for all 1:1 treatment comparison using the CMH method. 
Time to achievement of each PASI endpoint will also be summarized using descriptive statistics 
and Kaplan-Meier curves . 
7.3 
Psoriasis Body Surface Area 
Measurement of psoriasis body surface area (BSA) involvement is a continuous variable and 
estimated using the handprint method with the size of a patient’s handprint representing ~1% of 
body surface area involved.

The absolute value and change from baseline in %BSA will be summarized using descriptive 
statistics by timepoint and treatment group. The absolute value and change from baseline in 
%BSA will be summarized using descriptive statistics by timepoint and treatment group. 
Additionally, the difference in the change from baseline between each active treatment and 
placebo will be assessed using ANCOVA model as described in Section 7. Estimates of least-
squares (LS) means, SEs, 2-sided 95% CIs and p-values will be presented by treatment group for 
Weeks 4, 8 and 12. The absolute value and change from baseline in %BSA over time will be 
plotted by treatment.  
7.4 
Physician’s Global Assessment 
Efficacy will also be assessed by the static Physician’s Global Assessment (sPGA) and the 
scoring system is presented in Appendix D. The frequency and percentage of subjects for each 
discrete sPGA score (0 through 5) will be summarized by timepoint and treatment group. The 
proportion of subjects who achieve a sPGA response (defined as sPGA score of “0” (“cleared”) 
or “1” (“minimal”)) will be summarized for each post-dose timepoint by treatment group. The 
adjusted treatment difference in proportion of subjects with a sPGA response of 0 or 1 for each 
active treatment compared to placebo, its associated 95% CI, and two-sided p-value will be 
presented for Week 4, 8 and 12 using the CMH method. 
Bar charts of the proportion of subjects with the following sPGA scores will be plotted by 
treatment for each visit: 0, 0/1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.  
7.5 
Patient-Reported Outcomes  
Quality of life (QoL) will be assessed by the following patient-reported outcomes (PRO): the 
Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI), the EQ-5D-5L, and the pruritus numerical rating scale 
(NRS). The two questions collected in NRS questionnaire will be assessed separated as the 
average itch within the past 24 hours and the worst itch within the past 24 hours. Since the EQ-
5D-5L value sets used to calculate the index score are country-specific and there currently are 
none available for Czech Republic where some subjects are enrolled in this study, the value set 
for Poland will be used instead as the closest Eastern European country with available scoring 
instrument. 
DLQI score, NRS average and worst itch scores, and the EQ-5D-5L index score are continuous 
variables, and the absolute value, change and percent change from baseline in each PRO 
assessment will be summarized using descriptive statistics by timepoint and treatment group. 
The absolute value, change and percent from baseline for each PRO measure will be summarized 
using descriptive statistics by timepoint and treatment group. Additionally, the difference in the 
change from baseline between each active treatment and placebo will be assessed using 
ANCOVA model as described in Section 7. The analysis will be repeated with percent change 
from baseline as the dependent variable. Estimates of least-squares (LS) means, SEs, 2-sided 
95% CIs and p-values will be presented by treatment group for Weeks 4, 8 and 12. The absolute 
value over time will be plotted by treatment for the EQ-5D-5L index score, the DLQI score, the 
NRS average itch and worst itch scores.

Additionally, a responder analysis will be conducted for DLQI where a responder is defined as 
the subject who achieved a post-baseline score of 0 or 1.  
A responder analysis will also be conducted for NRS questionnaire where a responder is defined 
as a subject who has achieved a post-baseline itch score of < 4.   
8 
SAFETY ANALYSES 
All safety analyses will be performed on the Safety Analysis Population and will be presented by 
each treatment group and the combined active treatment. In general safety data will be presented 
by descriptive statistics only and by nominal visit (if applicable). Safety data collected on 
unscheduled visits will be presented in listings only.  
The treatment emergent period is defined as first dose through the end of study for subjects who 
complete the full treatment period of 12 weeks. If a subject discontinues study drug early, then 
the treatment emergent period will be first dose through four weeks after last dose.  
8.1 
Adverse Events 
AEs will be coded to MedDRA version 25.0. AEs will be presented by SOC and PT, unless 
otherwise noted, in order of descending frequency on the overall total, and multiple occurrences 
of the same event in the same participant will be counted only once in the tables.  
The following summaries of AEs will be provided: 
• Overall summary of TEAEs 
• All TEAEs  
• Study drug related TEAE 
• TEAEs by severity 
• Grade 3 or higher TEAE 
• Serious TEAEs (SAEs) 
• Study drug-related SAEs 
• TEAE leading to treatment discontinuation 
• TEAE leading to death 
By-subject listings of all AEs, SAEs, TEAEs leading to treatment discontinuation, TEAE leading 
to death will also be provided.

8.2 
12-lead Electrocardiogram 
12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) data will be measured and read by local and central laboratory, 
and will be summarized for all subjects in the Safety Analysis Population.  
8.2.1 
ECG Numeric Variables 
HR, PR, QRS, and Fridericia-corrected QT (QTcF) interval based on central ECG read and 
changes from baseline will be summarized by treatment group using descriptive statistics. The 
change from baseline of these ECG parameters at each time point will be listed for each subject. 
8.2.2 
Categorical Analysis 
The number and percentage of subjects with maximum treatment-emergent post-dose QTcF 
values based on central ECG read in the following mutually exclusive categories will be 
summarized by treatment group: > 450 msec, > 480 msec, >500 msec, > 520 msec, and >550 
msec. The number and percentage of subjects with maximum post-dose QTcF increase from 
baseline of > 30 msec and > 60 msec (mutually exclusive) will be summarized by treatment 
group.  
Clinical significance will be summarized by treatment group and overall for the local and central 
ECG reads separately. 
8.3 
Safety Laboratory Data 
Safety laboratory data and change from baseline will be summarized by treatment group and visit 
using descriptive statistics.  
Laboratory parameters that are graded in CTCAE Version 4.03 will be summarized by CTCAE 
grade. In the summary of laboratory parameters by CTCAE grade, for parameters with CTCAE 
grading in both high and low direction (e.g., calcium, glucose, magnesium, potassium, sodium), 
CTCAE in high and low directions will be summarized separately. Subjects with treatment-
emergent laboratory abnormalities of Grade 3 or higher will also be summarized. Shift from 
baseline to the worst post-baseline CTC grade of Grade 3 or higher will also be presented for 
select laboratory tests of interest including neutrophils, platelets, hemoglobin, creatine kinase, 
AST, ALT, total bilirubin, triglycerides, and cholesterol.  
Absolute values over time will also be plotted for select laboratory tests of interest including 
neutrophils, platelets, hemoglobin, creatine kinase, AST, ALT, total bilirubin, triglycerides, and 
cholesterol. Listings of laboratory values will be generated and the results that are out of the 
reference range will be flagged. 
8.3.1 
Potential Drug-induced Liver Injury 
The liver function tests, namely alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase 
(AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and total bilirubin (TBL) are used to assess possible drug -
induced liver injury (DILI).

APPENDIX C 
PSORIASIS AREA AND SEVERITY INDEX (PASI) 
The PASI is a grading system used for the evaluation of the severity of psoriatic lesions and their  
response to treatment. The PASI produces a numeric score that can range from 0 to 72. The 
severity of a subject’s disease is calculated as described below: 
The body is divided into 4 regions for determining total body surface area (BSA):  
• the head (h), trunk (t), upper extremities (ux) and lower extremities (lx),  
• which account for 10% (0.1), 30% (0.3), 20% (0.2), and 40% (0.4) respectively of BSA  
 
Each of these areas are evaluated for erythema (E), induration (I) and scaling (S), which are rated 
on a scale from 0 to 4. 
The scoring system for the signs of disease (erythema, induration and scaling) is below: 
0 = none 
1 = slight 
2 = moderate 
3 = severe 
4 = very severe 
 
The scoring system for estimating the area (A) of involvement for psoriatic lesions is outlined 
below: 
0 = no involvement 
1 = 1% to 9% involvement 
2 = 10% to 29% involvement 
3 = 30% to 49% involvement 
4 = 50% to 69% involvement 
5 = 70% to 89% involvement 
6 = 90% to 100% involvement 
 
To aid in the area assessments, the following conventions are followed: 
a. the neck is considered part of the head

b. the axilla and groin are considered part of the trunk 
c. the buttocks are considered part of the lower extremities 
 
The PASI formula is: 
PASI = 0.1(Eh + Sh + Ih)Ah + 0.3(Et + St + It)At + 0.2(Eux + Sux + Iux)Aux + 0.4(Elx + Slx + Ilx)Alx 
Clinical assessments of response should be performed by the same assessor(s).

APPENDIX D 
STATIC PHYSICIAN’S GLOBAL ASSESSMENT (SPGA) 
The Physician Global Assessment (PGA) is used to determine the subject’s psoriasis lesions 
overall at a given time point. Overall lesions will be graded for induration, erythema, and scaling 
based on the scales below. The sum of the 3 scales will be divided by 3 to obtain a final PGA 
score. 
Induration (I) (averaged over all lesions; use the National Psoriasis Foundation Reference card 
for measurement) 
0 = no evidence of plaque elevation 
1 = minimal plaque elevation, = 0.25 mm  
2 = mild plaque elevation, = 0.5 mm 
3 = moderate plaque elevation, = 0.75 mm  
4 = marked plaque elevation, = 1 mm 
5 = severe plaque elevation, = 1.25 mm or more 
 
Erythema (E) (averaged over all lesions) 
0 = no evidence of erythema, hyperpigmentation may be present  
1 = faint erythema 
2 = light red coloration 
3 = moderate red coloration 4 = bright red coloration 
5 = dusky to deep red coloration 
 
Scaling (S) (averaged over all lesions) 
0 = no evidence of scaling 
1 = minimal; occasional fine scale over less than 5% of the lesion  
2 = mild; fine scale dominates 
3 = moderate; coarse scale predominates 
4 = marked; thick, nontenacious scale dominates 
5 = severe; very thick tenacious scale predominates

Add I + E + S / 3 = (Total Average) 
 
Physician’s Static Global Assessment based upon above Total Average 
0 = Cleared, except for residual discoloration 
1 = Minimal - majority of lesions have individual scores for I + E + S / 3 that averages 1 
2 = Mild - majority of lesions have individual scores for I + E + S / 3 that averages 2 
3 = Moderate - majority of lesions have individual scores for I + E + S / 3 that averages 3 
4 = Marked - majority of lesions have individual scores for I + E + S / 3 that averages 4  
5 = Severe - majority of lesions have individual scores for I + E + S / 3 that averages 5 
Note: Scores should be rounded to the nearest whole number. If total ≤ 1.49, score = 1; if total 
≥ 1.50, score = 2.
