Summary of Study Design:  
Study I1F-JE-RHCV is a multicenter, open-label, post marketing clinical trial to evaluate the 
efficacy and safety of ixekizumab Q2W beyond Week 12 until Week 20 in patients with GPP 
and EP.
Treatment Arms and Duration:  
Study I1F-JE-RHCV consists of 3 periods: a screening period of up to 30 days, a 12-week 
Induction Dosing Period, and an 8-week Maintenance Dosing period.  All eligible patients will 
be administered 160 mg ixekizumab as 2 SC injections at Week 0 (baseline; Visit 2) followed by 
80 mg as 1 injection at Week 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10.  Patients who are inadequate responders (Global 
Improvement Score [GIS] ≥2 at Week 12 and based on the investigators’ discretion) will be 
administered 80 mg as 1 injection at Week 12, 14, 16, and 18 or until they achieve a GIS score 
of 1.
Number of Patients:
A total of 12 patients will be enrolled so that at least 5 patients with EP and 5 patients with GPP 
who are inadequate responders (GIS ≥2 at Week 12 and based on the investigators’ discretion) 
will continue to use ixekizumab beyond Week 12. Additional enrollment may occur and sample 
size may be increased, if no GPP or EP patients enter into Period 3 (Maintenance Dosing Period) 
of the study.
Statistical Analysis:
Primary analysis of efficacy, health outcome and safety measures will be conducted based on 
patients who continued ixekizumab 80 mg Q2W beyond Week 12 by disease type (ie, GPP and 
EP separately).
Baseline is defined as the last available value before the first dose in Period 2; in most cases, it 
will be the value recorded at Week 0 (Visit 2).
As this is a single arm study with very small sample size, no statistical inference will be 
performed.
Continuous data will be summarized in terms of the mean, standard deviation, minimum, 
maximum, median, and number of observations.  Categorical data will be summarized as 
frequency counts.

3. Introduction
3.1.
Study Rationale
Psoriasis (Ps) is a common chronic skin disorder with an estimated prevalence of 1.0% in Japan 
(Tang et al. 2014). The pathogenesis of psoriasis has undergone many paradigm shifts during 
the past 3 decades.  Psoriasis is no longer considered fundamentally a skin disease, but rather a 
chronic inflammatory process resulting from a dysfunctional immune system (Kim and Krueger 
2015).  For patients with psoriasis, the protective elements of the skin (corneocytes, 
keratinocytes, chemokines, and immunocytes, such as T cells and dendritic antigen-presenting 
cells [DiMeglio et al. 2011; Bergboer et al. 2012]) become disrupted, resulting in dysfunctional 
feedback loops and vicious cycles leading to development of life-long, thick, scaly, well-
demarcated plaques (DiMeglio et al. 2014). Psoriasis includes several phenotypes often 
separated into the following classifications; plaque Ps, guttate Ps, pustular Ps, and erythrodermic 
Ps (EP).  Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) may coexist in up to 30% of patients with Ps.  The most 
common type of psoriasis is plaque Ps (psoriasis vulgaris), and clinical features include sharply 
demarcated, scaly erythematous plaques that are often associated with itching, pain, and cracking 
of the skin. These lesions most typically affect the elbows, knees, scalp, lumbar area, umbilical 
area, and gluteal cleft.  Approximately 1/4 to 1/3 of plaque Ps patients have moderate-to-severe 
Ps, corresponding to involvement of over 5% of their body surface area (BSA) (Dubin et al. 
2003; Menter and Griffiths 2007). Disease of this extent is physically and/or socially debilitating 
to a degree comparable with other chronic medical conditions (Rapp et al. 1999).
Generalized pustular Ps (GPP) and EP are relatively rare but more severe variants of Ps.  
Generalized pustular Ps is characterized by multiple sterile pustules all over the body and may be
accompanied by systemic symptoms including fever, chills, severe itching, dehydration, rapid
pulse rate, exhaustion, anemia, weight loss, and muscle weakness. Erythrodermic Ps is a
particular inflammatory type of Ps that can affect the whole body. The reddening and shedding
of the skin are often accompanied by severe itching and pain, heart rate increase, fluid loss, and
fluctuating body temperature. Both Ps subtypes can sometimes be life-threatening without
adequate treatment.  Patients with these severe subtypes are known to experience frequent 
relapses (Rosenbach et al. 2010), and require systemic treatment.  However the treatment options 
are further limited and there are significant unmet needs for effective treatments for patients with 
GPP and EP.
Study I1F-JE-RHCV (RHCV) is a multicenter, open-label, post marketing clinical trial designed 
to assess the efficacy and safety of ixekizumab through Week 20 when administered Q2W 
beyond Week 12 in patients with GPP and EP.  This study is being conducted by Eli Lilly Japan 
to fulfil a regulatory commitment to the PMDA to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Q2W 
dosing in patients with GP and EPP.
3.2.
Background
Ixekizumab (LY2439821, Taltz®) is a humanized immunoglobulin G subclass 4 (IgG4)
monoclonal antibody (MAb) that binds with high affinity and specificity to interleukin (IL)-17A,


I1F-JE-RHCV Clinical Protocol
Page 17
LY2439821
a proinflammatory cytokine.  Ixekizumab does not bind to ligands IL-17B, IL-17C, IL-17D, IL-
17E, or IL-17F.  
Phase 3 clinical studies show that ixekizumab is efficacious and has an acceptable safety profile
for the treatment of adult patients with moderate-to-severe Ps and for adult patients with active
PsA. Ixekizumab was approved in Japan for the treatment of Ps, PsA, EP, and GPP at an initial 
dose of ixekizumab 160 mg followed by ixekizumab 80 mg administered Q2W from Week 2 
through Week 12, and thereafter 80 mg Q4W. In August 2018, a new dosage and administration 
was approved in Japan to support 80mg Q2W continued dosing beyond Week 12 for patients 
with Ps, PsA, EP and GPP who have an inadequate response at Week 12. However, clinical 
studies consisting of the main data package in this new approval did not include the data from 
patients with EP and GPP who underwent treatment of ixekizumab 80 mg Q2W over 12 weeks.
Therefore, the PMDA agreed that Eli Lilly Japan would conduct a study to evaluate the use of 
ixekizumab Q2W dosing beyond Week 12 in patients with EP and GPP in order to provide 
support for consistent dosing guidelines for the treatment of all indications (ie, Ps, PsA, EP, and 
GPP) with ixekizumab.
3.3.
Benefit/Risk Assessment
Continued 80 mg Q2W dosing of ixekizumab was shown to be more efficacious over 52 weeks 
of treatment compared with continuous Q4W dosing in moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis 
patients (Langley et al. 2018).  Clinically meaningful benefit from continued Q2W dosing 
beyond Week 12 was prominent in moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis patients who had 
inadequate response at Week 12.  Although there are no data available for efficacy of 
ixekizumab Q2W dosing beyond 12 weeks in EP and GPP patients, the long term efficacy data 
in plaque psoriasis patients are suggestive of the incremental efficacy of ixekizumab with 
continued Q2W dosing in EP and GPP patients who have an inadequate response at Week 12,
over the initially approved dosing regimen.
Safety profiles in plaque psoriasis patients who received ixekizumab Q2W over 52 weeks were 
comparable to those in Q4W treatment groups, with no unexpected safety signals observed.  
Meanwhile, no serious adverse events (SAEs) or adverse events (AEs) leading to treatment 
discontinuation were reported from EP and GPP patients who received ixekizumab via the 
initially approved dosing regimen. Also, overall safety profiles were comparable between EP 
and GPP patients and psoriasis patients.
Given the expected clinical benefit, potential risks derived from continued Q2W dosing may be 
acceptable in EP and GPP patients.
More information about the known and expected benefits, risks, SAEs and reasonably 
anticipated AEs of ixekizumab are to be found in the Investigator’s Brochure (IB).

5. Study Design
5.1.
Overall Design
Study I1F-JE-RHCV is a multicenter, open-label, post marketing clinical trial to evaluate the 
efficacy and safety of ixekizumab Q2W beyond Week 12 until Week 20 in patients with GPP 
and EP.
The study consists of 3 periods:

Period 1: Screening Period (Visit 1) lasting from 7 to 30 days prior to Period 2 (baseline; 
Week 0; Visit 2)
Study investigator(s) will review patient history and screening test results to determine if the 
patient meets all inclusion and none of the exclusion criteria to qualify for participation in 
the study.

Period 2: Induction Dosing Period from Week 0 (Visit 2) to Week 12 (Visit 6)
All eligible patients will be administered 160 mg ixekizumab as 2 SC injections at Week 0 
(baseline; Visit 2) followed by 80 mg as 1 injection at Week 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10.

Period 3: Maintenance Dosing Period from Week 12 to Week 20
Responders (GIS = 1 at Week 12) will complete the study.
Inadequate responders (GIS ≥2 at Week 12 and based on investigators’ discretion) will 
continue to use ixekizumab 80 mg Q2W during Period 3.  If patients show a therapeutic 
response (GIS = 1) with 80 mg Q2W after Week 12, the patient will complete the study.  
Patients who complete the study before Week 20 will have an early termination visit (ETV)
instead of the original scheduled visit. 
Patients discontinuing from the study treatment who have received at least 1 dose of 
investigational product will continue to the ETV.
Ixekizumab will not be made available after conclusion of the study to patients.
Study governance considerations are described in detail in Appendix 3.
Figure RHCV.1 illustrates the study design.

Illustration of study design for Clinical Protocol I1F-JE-RHCV.
5.2.
Number of Participants
A total of 12 patients will be enrolled so that at least 5 patients with EP and 5 patients with GPP 
who are inadequate responders (GIS ≥2 at Week 12 and based on the investigators’ discretion),
will continue to use ixekizumab beyond Week 12.  Additional enrollment may occur and sample 
size may be increased, if no GPP or EP patients enter into Period 3 (Maintenance Dosing Period) 
of the study.
5.3.
End of Study Definition
End of the study is the date of the last visit or last scheduled procedure shown in the Schedule of 
Activities (Section 2) for the last patient.
5.4.
Scientific Rationale for Study Design
This is an open-label, single-arm study to primarily assess the efficacy of ixekizumab Q2W 
beyond Week 12 in patients with EP and GPP.  The absence of a placebo arm is consistent with 
other studies evaluating efficacy and safety of investigational drugs in these severe forms of Ps.  
In addition, placebo-controlled studies are not ethical for patients with EP and GPP. 
The Induction Dosing Period (Period 2) is based on the dosage and administration which was 
approved via initial regulatory review.  This will be followed by the Maintenance Dosing Period 
(Period 3), if patients do not show a therapeutic response (GIS ≥2 at Week 12 and based on the 
investigators’ discretion).

5.5.
Justification for Dose
The dosing schedule for Study RHCV was selected based on the initially approved dosage and 
administration of ixekizumab, and is designed to evaluate the response of patients with EP and 
GPP at Week 12 following the administration of ixekizumab at a starting dose of 160 mg 
followed by 80 mg Q2W up to Week 12.  Thereafter, according to the newly approved schedule, 
patients with an inadequate response will receive a dose of ixekizumab 80 mg Q2W up to and 
including Week 18, or until they achieve a GIS score of 1.

7. Treatments
7.1.
Treatments Administered
The investigator (or his/her designee) is responsible for explaining the correct use of the 
investigational agent(s) to the patient and/or patient’s caregiver, verifying that instructions are 
followed properly, maintaining accurate records of investigational product dispensing and 
collection, and returning all unused medication to Lilly or its designee at the end of the study.  
Further instructions regarding administration of the investigational product are provided below in 
this section.
Patients will be instructed to contact the investigator as soon as possible if he or she has a 
complaint or problem with the investigational product so that the situation can be assessed.
The Induction Dosing Period (Period 2) begins at Week 0 (baseline; Visit 2) when patients 
receive a starting dose of 160 mg ixekizumab as 2 SC injections.  For the remaining doses, 80 
mg is administered Q2W.  All doses are administered as SC injections.
Administration of Investigational Product
Training: For training purposes, the proper procedures for administration of the investigational 
product and administration of the initial injection will be performed by the investigator or his/her 
designee at Week 0 (Visit 2) and the second injection of investigational product can be self-
administered by the patient under the supervision of the investigator at Week 0 (Visit 2).  Study 
drug must be administered under the supervision of the investigator until the investigator judges 
the patient sufficiently competent to perform the self-injections independently.  After this time, 
patients will be allowed to self-inject alone.
Administration: All subsequent injections can be administered by the patient.  If a patient is 
unable to perform the injection, the investigator or a caregiver, may inject the investigational 
product.  In this case, the caregiver will also be trained to inject the study drug under supervision 
of the investigator until the investigator judges the caregiver sufficiently competent to inject.  
A dose of investigational product will consist of 1 SC injection of ixekizumab (except Week 0).  
Possible injection sites include the abdomen, thigh, and upper arm.  The injection site should not 
be in a psoriatic lesion and should be rotated to another area for subsequent doses.
Syringes should be at room temperature prior to injection (refer to Manual Syringe Directions for 
Use provided by the sponsor).
Throughout their participation in the study, enrolled patients will record information in a Study 
Drug Administration Log, including the date, time, injection site, and location of patient at time 
of administration of investigational product (for treatment compliance), who administered the 
investigational product, and the reason if investigational product was not fully administered in a 
Study Drug Administration Log.  As needed, patients may use the log to record other 
information about the injection.  At each visit, the investigator will review the log to confirm 
whether the self-injections were successfully performed.

confirming 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.

ensuring that 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.

the investigator, institution, or the head of the medical institution (where 
applicable) is responsible for study treatment accountability, reconciliation, and 
record maintenance (such as receipt, reconciliation and final disposition records).
Detailed instructions regarding supplies and preparation and handling of investigational products 
will be provided by the sponsor.
Investigational products will be supplied by Lilly or its representative, in accordance with cGMP 
and will be supplied with lot numbers, expiry dates, and certificates of analysis, as applicable.  
All investigational products will be stored, inventoried, reconciled, or destroyed according to 
applicable regulations.

7.6.
Treatment Compliance
Every attempt will be made to select patients who have the ability to understand and comply with
instructions. The investigator is responsible for discussing methods to ensure high treatment
compliance with the patient before administration of study treatment.
Throughout their participation in the study, enrolled patients will record information in a Study 
Drug Administration Log, including the date, time, injection site, and location of patient at time 
of administration of investigational product (for treatment compliance), who administered the 
investigational product, and the reason if investigational product was not fully administered.  As 
needed, patients may use the log to record other information about the injection.  At each visit, 
the investigator will review the log to confirm whether the self-injections were successfully 
performed.
Patient compliance with study drug administration will be assessed at each visit.  Compliance 
will be assessed by direct questioning, and counting returned syringes.  Deviation(s) from the 
prescribed dosage regimen should be recorded in the CRF.

Possible reasons leading to permanent discontinuation of investigational product:

Patient Decision
o
the patient requests to discontinue investigational product.

Discontinuation due to a hepatic event or liver test abnormality. A patient who is
discontinued from investigational product due to a hepatic event or liver test abnormality 
should have additional hepatic safety data collected via CRF.
Discontinuation of the investigational product for abnormal liver tests should be
considered by the investigator when a patient meets one of the following conditions after 
consultation with the Lilly designated medical monitor:

ALT or AST >8X ULN

ALT or AST >5X ULN for more than 2 weeks

ALT or AST >3X ULN and total bilirubin level (TBL) >2X ULN or 
international normalized ratio (INR) >1.5

ALT or AST >3X ULN with the appearance of fatigue, nausea, vomiting, 
right upper-quadrant pain or tenderness, fever, rash, and/or eosinophilia 
(>5%)

alkaline phosphatase (ALP) >3X ULN

ALP >2.5X ULN and TBL >2X ULN

ALP >2.5X ULN with the appearance of fatigue, nausea, vomiting, right 
quadrant pain or tenderness, fever, rash, and/or eosinophilia (>5%)

In addition, a patient who meets any one of the following criteria should be 
discontinued from the investigational product and conduct ETV, and 
discontinue from the study:

Absolute neutrophil (segmented) counts (see safety monitoring for neutropenia; 
Section 9.4.6.1):
o
<500 cells/μL
o
≥500 and <1000 cells/μL (based on 2 test results; the second test 
performed within 1 week from knowledge of the initial result).
o
≥1000 and <1500 cells/μL (based on 3 test results as specified in 
Section 9.4.6.1) - AND - an infection that is not fully resolved.

Total WBC count <2000 cells/μL (<2.00 x 103/μL).

Lymphocyte count <500 cells/μL (<0.50 x 103/μL).

Platelet count <50,000 cells/μL (<50 x 103/μL).


I1F-JE-RHCV Clinical Protocol
Page 35
LY2439821

The patient experiences a severe AE, an SAE, or a clinically significant change in 
a laboratory value occurs that, in the opinion of the investigator, merits the 
discontinuation of the investigational product.

Clinically significant systemic hypersensitivity event following administration of 
investigational product that does not respond to symptomatic medication or 
results in clinical sequelae.

The patient becomes pregnant.

The patient develops a malignancy (Note: patients may be allowed to continue if 
they develop no more than 2 non-melanoma skin cancers during the study).

The patient has a change in disease phenotype at any time.

It is recommended that the patient be assessed by an appropriately trained 
professional to assist in deciding whether the patient is to be discontinued from 
study treatment if:
o
The patient develops active suicidal ideation with some intent to act with 
or without a specific plan (yes to question 4 or 5 on the “Suicidal Ideation” 
portion of the C-SSRS),
-OR-
The patient develops suicide-related behaviors as recorded on the C-SSRS, 
then it is recommended that the patient be assessed by a psychiatrist or 
appropriately trained professional to assist in deciding whether the patient 
is to be discontinued from the study.
o
The patient develops active TB or HIV/ acquired immunodeficiency 
syndrome (AIDS) during the study.
o
The patient becomes HBV (DNA) or HCV RNA positive.  The patient 
should be referred to a specialist physician (see Sections 9.4.5.4 and
9.4.5.5).

Discontinuation due to Allergic Reactions or Hypersensitivity Events

The investigator, after consultation with the sponsor-designated medical monitor, 
determines that a clinically significant hypersensitivity reaction has occurred.  A 
clinically significant systemic hypersensitivity reaction is one that occurs after 
administration of the investigational intervention (for example, drug-related 
symptomatic bronchospasm, allergy-related edema/angioedema, or hypotension) 
and requires parenteral medication, does not respond to symptomatic medication, 
results in clinical sequelae, or is an anaphylactic reaction.
Patients discontinuing from the investigational product prematurely for any reason should 
complete AE and other follow-up procedures per Section 2 (Schedule of Activities), Section 9.2
(Adverse Events), and Section 9.4 (Safety) of this protocol.
8.1.2. Discontinuation of Inadvertently Enrolled Patients
If the sponsor or investigator identify a patient who did not meet enrollment criteria and was 
inadvertently enrolled, then the patient should be discontinued from study treatment unless there 
are extenuating circumstances that make it medically necessary for the patient to continue on 


I1F-JE-RHCV Clinical Protocol
Page 36
LY2439821
study treatment.  If the investigator and the sponsor clinical research physician (CRP) agree it is 
medically appropriate to continue, the investigator must obtain documented approval from the 
sponsor CRP to allow the inadvertently enrolled patient to continue in the study with or without 
treatment with investigational product. Safety follow up is as outlined in Section 2 (Schedule of 
Activities), Section 9.2 (Adverse Events), and Section 9.4 (Safety) of the protocol.
8.2.
Discontinuation from the Study
patient will be discontinued from the study in the following circumstances:

enrollment in any other clinical study involving an investigational product or 
enrollment in any other type of medical research judged not to be scientifically or 
medically compatible with this study

participation in the study needs to be stopped for medical, safety, regulatory, or 
other reasons consistent with applicable laws, regulations, and good clinical 
practice (GCP)

investigator decision
o
the investigator decides that the patient should be discontinued from the study
o
if the patient, for any reason, requires treatment with another therapeutic agent 
that has been demonstrated to be effective for treatment of the study 
indication, discontinuation from the study occurs prior to introduction of the 
new agent

patient decision
o
the patient or the patient’s designee, for example, parents or legal guardian
requests to be withdrawn from the study.
Patients discontinuing from the study prematurely for any reason should complete AE and other 
safety follow-up per Section 2 (Schedule of Activities), Section 9.2 (Adverse Events), and 
Section 9.4 (Safety) of this protocol.
8.3.
Lost to Follow-Up
A patient 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.  Site personnel are expected to make 
diligent attempts to contact patients who fail to return for a scheduled visit or were otherwise 
unable to be followed up by the site.

Study Assessments and Procedures
Section 2 lists the Schedule of Activities, with the study procedures and their timing (including 
tolerance limits for timing).
Appendix 2 lists the laboratory tests that will be performed for this study.
Unless otherwise stated in the subsections below, all samples collected for specified laboratory 
tests will be destroyed within 60 days of receipt of confirmed test results.  Certain samples may 
be retained for a longer period, if necessary, to comply with applicable laws, regulations, or 
laboratory certification standards.
9.1.
Efficacy Assessments
9.1.1. Primary Efficacy Assessment:  Global Improvement Scores
Global improvement scores will be assessed in the 4 grades by comparing the psoriatic findings: 
(1) resolved, (2) improved, (3) unchanged, or (4) worsened. The global improvement score is 
assessed based on the comparison of the psoriatic findings, Static Physician Global Assessment 
(sPGA), Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) score, and other evaluations with those at the 
baseline.
9.1.2. Secondary Efficacy Assessments
The following secondary and exploratory efficacy measures will be assessed in this study:

Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI)

Static Physician Global Assessment (sPGA)

Scalp Psoriasis Severity Index (PSSI)

Percentage of Body Surface Area (BSA)

GPP Severity Index
9.1.2.1.
Psoriasis Area and Severity Index
The PASI combines an assessment of the extent of body surface involvement in 4 anatomical 
regions (head, trunk, arms, and legs) and the severity of desquamation (scaling), erythema, and 
plaque induration/infiltration (thickness) in each region, yielding an overall score of 0 (no Ps) to 
72 (the most severe disease) (Fredriksson and Pettersson 1978).  The PASI has been the most 
frequently used endpoint and measure of Ps severity in clinical trials (EMEA 2004 [WWW]; 
Menter et al. 2008).
9.1.2.2.
Static Physician Global Assessment
The sPGA is the physician's determination of the patient's Ps lesions overall at a given time point.  
The sPGA is recommended as an endpoint to use efficacy in the treatment of Ps (EMEA 2004 
[WWW]).  Overall lesions are categorized by descriptions for induration, erythema, and scaling.  
For analysis of responses, the patient's Ps is assessed as clear (0), minimal (1), mild (2), 
moderate (3), severe (4), or very severe (5).


I1F-JE-RHCV Clinical Protocol
Page 38
LY2439821
9.1.2.3.
Scalp Psoriasis Severity Index
If the patient has scalp Ps at baseline, the PSSI will be used.  The PSSI is a composite score 
derived from the sum scores for erythema, induration, and desquamation multiplied by a score 
for the extent of the scalp area involved (range 0 to 72).
9.1.2.4.
Percentage of Body Surface Area
The investigator will evaluate the percentage involvement of Ps on each patient’s BSA on a 
continuous scale from 0% (no involvement) to 100% (full involvement), in which 1% 
corresponds to the size of the patient’s hand (including the palm, fingers and thumb) (National 
Psoriasis Foundation 2009 [WWW]).
9.1.2.5.
Generalized Pustular Psoriasis Severity Index
The GPP Severity Index will be evaluated only for patients with pustular Ps at screening and at 
baseline.  This is a composite score derived from the sum of scores for assessment of dermal 
symptoms, systemic symptoms, and laboratory findings (range, 0 to 17).

Assessment of Dermal Symptoms
Assessment of dermal symptoms, according to the Japanese Dermatological Association 
GPP revised criteria (2010) (Iwatsuki et al. 2010 [WWW]) will be evaluated only for 
patients with pustular Ps at screening and at baseline.  Skin symptoms will be assessed by 
the score with the area of erythema (on a 0 to 3 scale), area of confluent pustules (on a 0
to 3 scale), and are of skin edema (on a 0 to 3 scale).  The total score will be assessed
(range, 0 to 9).

Systemic symptoms and laboratory findings
Systemic symptoms and laboratory findings, according to the Japanese Dermatological 
Association GPP revised criteria (2010) (Iwatsuki et al. 2010 [WWW]) will be evaluated 
only for patients with pustular Ps at screening and at baseline.  It will be assessed by the 
score with fever (on a 0 to 2 scale), WBC (on a 0 to -2 scale), C-reactive protein (on a 0
to 2 scale) and Albumin (on a 0 to 2 scale).  The total score will be assessed (range, 0 to 
8).
9.1.3. Appropriateness of Assessments
All of the clinical and safety assessments in this study are standard, widely used, and generally 
recognized as reliable, accurate, and relevant.
9.2.
Adverse Events
investigator is responsible for monitoring the safety of patients who have entered this study and 
for alerting Lilly or its designee to any event that seems unusual, even if this event may be 
considered an unanticipated benefit to the patient.  The investigator will record all relevant 
AE/SAE information in the CRF.
The investigator is responsible for the appropriate medical care of patients during the study.
The investigator must document his\her review of each laboratory safety report.


I1F-JE-RHCV Clinical Protocol
Page 39
LY2439821
The investigator remains responsible for following, through an appropriate health care option, 
AEs that are serious or otherwise medically important, considered related to the investigational 
product or the study, or that caused the patient to discontinue the investigational product before 
completing the study.  The patient should be followed until the event resolves, stabilizes with 
appropriate diagnostic evaluation, or is reasonably explained.  The frequency of follow-up 
evaluations of the AE is left to the discretion of the investigator.
Lack of drug effect is not an AE in clinical studies, because the purpose of the clinical study is to 
establish treatment effect.
After the ICF is signed, study site personnel will record via electronic data entry the occurrence 
and nature of each patient’s preexisting conditions, including clinically significant signs and 
symptoms of the disease under treatment in the study.  In addition, site personnel will record any 
change in the condition(s) and any new conditions as AEs. The investigator should record 
his\her assessment of the potential relatedness of each AE to protocol procedure or
investigational product, via electronic data entry.
The investigator will interpret and document whether or not an AE has a reasonable possibility 
of being related to study treatment, study device, or a study procedure, taking into account the 
disease, concomitant treatment or pathologies.
A “reasonable possibility” means that there is a cause and effect relationship between the 
investigational product, study device and/or study procedure and the AE.
The investigator answers yes/no when making this assessment.
Planned surgeries and nonsurgical interventions should not be reported as AEs unless the 
underlying medical condition has worsened during the course of the study.
If a patient’s investigational product is discontinued as a result of an AE, study site personnel 
must report this to Lilly or its designee via electronic data entry, clarifying if possible, the 
circumstances leading to any dosage modifications, or discontinuations of treatment.
9.2.1. Serious Adverse Events
An SAE is any AE from this study that results in one of the following outcomes:

death

initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization

a life-threatening experience (that is, immediate risk of dying)

persistent or significant disability/incapacity

congenital anomaly/birth defect


I1F-JE-RHCV Clinical Protocol
Page 40
LY2439821

important medical events that may not be immediately life-threatening or result in 
death or hospitalization but may jeopardize the patient or may require intervention 
to prevent one of the other outcomes listed in the definition above.  Examples of 
such medical events include allergic bronchospasm requiring intensive treatment 
in an emergency room or at home, blood dyscrasias or convulsions that do not 
result in inpatient hospitalization, or the development of drug dependency or drug 
abuse.

when a condition related to the prefilled syringes necessitates medical or 
surgical intervention to preclude either permanent impairment of a body 
function or permanent damage to a body structure, the serious outcome of 
“required intervention” will be assigned.
All AEs occurring after signing the ICF are recorded in the electronic data entry and assessed for 
serious criteria.  The SAE reporting to the sponsor begins after the patient has signed the ICF and 
has received investigational product.  However, if an SAE occurs after signing the ICF, but prior 
to receiving investigational product, the SAE should be reported to the sponsor as per SAE 
reporting requirements and timelines (see Section 9.2) if it is considered reasonably possibly 
related to study procedure.
Study site personnel must alert Lilly or its designee of any SAE within 24 hours of investigator 
awareness of the event via a sponsor-approved method.  If alerts are issued via telephone, they 
are to be immediately followed with official notification on study-specific SAE forms.  This 24-
hour notification requirement refers to the initial SAE information and all follow-up SAE 
information. Patients with a serious hepatic AE should have additional data collected using the 
electronic data entry.
Pregnancy (during maternal or paternal exposure to investigational product) does not meet the 
definition of an AE.  However, to fulfill regulatory requirements any pregnancy should be 
reported following the SAE process to collect data on the outcome for both mother and fetus.
Investigators are not obligated to actively seek AEs or SAEs in patients once they have 
discontinued and/or completed the study (the patient disposition CRF has been completed).  
However, if the investigator learns of any SAE, including a death, at any time after a patient has 
been discharged from the study, and he/she considers the event reasonably possibly related to the 
study treatment or study participation, the investigator must promptly notify Lilly.
9.2.1.1.
Suspected Unexpected Serious Adverse Reactions
Suspected unexpected serious adverse reactions (SUSARs) are serious events that are not listed 
in the IB and that the investigator identifies as related to investigational product or study 
procedure.  United States 21 CFR 312.32 and European Union Clinical Trial Directive 
2001/20/EC and the associated detailed guidances or national regulatory requirements in 
participating countries require the reporting of SUSARs. Lilly has procedures that will be 
followed for the identification, recording and expedited reporting of SUSARs that are consistent 
with global regulations and the associated detailed guidances.


I1F-JE-RHCV Clinical Protocol

LY2439821
9.2.2. Adverse Events of Special Interest
The following AEs of special interest (AESIs) will be used to determine the safety and 
tolerability of ixekizumab over the range of doses selected for this clinical study.
Adverse events of special interest for ixekizumab are:

cytopenias (leukopenia, neutropenia, and thrombocytopenia)

liver function test changes/enzyme elevations (ALT, AST, bilirubin, and alkaline 
phosphatase)

infection

injection-site reactions

allergic reactions/hypersensitivities

cerebrocardiovascular events

malignancies

inflammatory bowel disease

depression

interstitial lung disease (ILD).
If infections, injection-site reactions, or allergic/hypersensitivity reactions are reported, sites will 
provide details on these events as instructed on the CRF.  Investigators will also educate patients 
and/or caregivers about the symptoms of allergic/hypersensitivity reactions and will provide 
instructions on dealing with these reactions.  A blood sample will be collected when possible for 
any patient who experiences an AE of allergic/hypersensitivity reactions during the study.
Data on preferred terms associated with cerebrocardiovascular events (defined as death, cardiac
ischemic events including MI and hospitalization for unstable angina, hospitalization for heart
failure, serious arrhythmia, resuscitated sudden death, cardiogenic shock, coronary
revascularization procedure, stroke/transient ischemic attack, peripheral revascularization
procedure, and peripheral arterial event and hospitalization for hypertension) will be collected,
and these events and any deaths will be adjudicated by an external Clinical Events Committee
(CEC) made up of a chairman, 2 cardiologists, and a neurologist.
Data on suspected IBD, as identified by events possibly indicative of ulcerative colitis and
Crohn’s disease, will be collected and the events will be adjudicated by an external CEC with
expertise in IBD.
The role of external CECs is to adjudicate defined clinical events in a blinded, consistent, and
unbiased manner throughout the course of a study. The purpose of the CEC for adjudication of
cerebrocardiovascular events and the CEC for adjudication of suspected IBD events is to ensure
that all reported events are evaluated uniformly by a single group.


I1F-JE-RHCV Clinical Protocol

9.2.3. Complaint Handling
Lilly collects product complaints on investigational products and drug delivery systems used in 
clinical studies in order to ensure the safety of study participants, monitor quality, and to 
facilitate process and product improvements.
A patient will be instructed to contact the investigator as soon as possible if he or she has a 
complaint or problem with the investigational product or drug delivery system so that the 
situation can be assessed.
9.3.
Treatment of Overdose
Refer to the Taltz IB and/or Product Label.
9.4.
Safety
9.4.1. Electrocardiograms
For each patient, electrocardiograms (ECGs) should be collected locally according to the 
Schedule of Activities (Section 2).  Patients are to be resting for 5 minutes prior to the ECG. It is 
recommended that patients be in a supine position.  The qualified physician must document 
his/her review of the ECG at the time of screening. 
The ECG results will be stored at the site and would be made available to the sponsor as 
requested. The investigators are allowed to repeat the ECG collection.
9.4.2. Vital Signs
For each patient, vital signs measurements should be conducted according to the Schedule of 
Activities (Section 2).
Vital signs (BP and pulse) and body temperature will be measured (sitting) after resting for a 
minimum of 10 minutes at times indicated in the Schedule of Activities (Section 2).  At baseline 
(Week 0; Visit 2), BP and pulse should be measured prior to administration of the investigational 
product and again approximately 1 hour after administration.  Any clinically significant findings 
from vital signs measurement that result in a diagnosis and that occur after the patient receives
the first dose of study treatment should be reported to Lilly or its designee as an AE via CRF.
9.4.3. Laboratory Tests
For each patient, laboratory tests detailed in (Appendix 2) should be conducted according to the 
Schedule of Activities (Section 2). 
Lilly or its designee will provide the investigator with the results of laboratory tests analyzed by 
a central vendor, if a central vendor is used for the clinical trial.  
Any clinically significant findings from laboratory tests that result in a diagnosis and that occur 
after the patient receives the first dose of investigational product should be reported to Lilly or its 
designee as an AE via CRF.


I1F-JE-RHCV Clinical Protocol
Page 43
LY2439821
9.4.4. Immunogenicity Assessments 
Samples for immunogenicity testing will be collected at time points indicated in the Schedule of 
Activities (Section 2).  Venous blood samples will be collected into tubes and used to determine 
antibody production against ixekizumab.  The actual date of each sampling will be recorded on 
the laboratory requisition.
Immunogenicity will be assessed by a validated assay designed to detect ADAs in the presence 
of ixekizumab. Antibodies may be further characterized and/or evaluated for their ability to 
neutralize the activity of ixekizumab. Treatment-emergent immunogenicity is defined as any 
occurrence of a 4-fold or 2 dilution increase in titer over the pretreatment baseline titer.  In the 
case of a negative result at baseline, treatment-emergent immunogenicity is defined as an 
increase in titer to ≥1:10. Immunogenicity samples will also be analyzed for ixekizumab serum 
concentration to facilitate the interpretation of the immunogenicity data at Week 12 (Visit 6), 
Week 20 (Visit 10) and ETV. 
In the event of serious drug hypersensitivity reactions (such as generalized urticaria and/or 
anaphylaxis), additional samples will be collected as close to the onset of the event as possible 
and approximately 30 days following the event to evaluate antidrug antibodies (ADA), 
LY2439821 serum concentration, and additional exploratory biomarkers of hypersensitivity 
which could include tryptase, complement levels and cytokine measurements.
Samples will be retained for a maximum of 15 years after the last patient visit, or for a shorter 
period if local regulations and ERBs allow, at a facility selected by the sponsor.  The duration 
allows the sponsor to respond to future regulatory requests related to ixekizumab.  Any samples 
remaining after 15 years will be destroyed.
9.4.5. Other Safety Measures
9.4.5.1.
Physical Exam
One complete physical examination (excluding pelvic, rectal, and breast examinations) will be 
performed at screening. This examination will determine whether the patient meets the criteria 
required to participate in the study and will also serve as a monitor for pre-existing conditions 
and as a baseline for treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE) assessment. All physical 
examinations throughout the study should include a symptom-directed physical evaluation, as 
well as an examination of the heart, lungs, abdomen, and a visual examination of the skin. 
9.4.5.2.
Chest X-Ray and Tuberculosis Testing
A posterior-anterior view chest X-ray will be obtained, unless the X-ray or results from a chest 
X-ray obtained within 6 months prior to the study are available. The chest X-ray will be 
obtained locally. The chest X-ray or results will be reviewed by the investigator or designee to 
exclude patients with active TB infection. In the opinion of the investigator, if evaluating chest 
X-ray is medically necessary, the investigator may do so any time during the study.
In addition, patients will be locally tested at screening and at visits, as indicated on the Schedule
of Activities (Section 2) for evidence of active or latent TB indicated by a positive purified 
protein derivative (PPD) skin-test response (≥5 mm induration, between approximately 48 and 


I1F-JE-RHCV Clinical Protocol
Page 44
LY2439821
72 hours after test application, regardless of BCG vaccination history). If, in the judgment of the 
investigator, an interferon gamma release assay (QuantiFERON-TB Gold test) is preferred as an 
alternative to the PPD skin test for the evaluation of TB infection, it may be used instead of the 
PPD test (positive tests excluded) and would be read locally.  If an interferon gamma release 
assay (QuantiFERON-TB Gold test) is indeterminate, 1 retest is allowed. The same method 
should be used at the retest.  If the retest is indeterminate, then the patient is excluded from the 
study.  
Patients with documentation of a negative test result within 3 months prior to baseline (Week 0; 
Visit 2) do not need a TB screen at Visit 1. Documentation of this test result must include a 
record of the size of the induration response. A PPD test recorded as negative without 
documenting the size of induration will result in a retest.
However, patients with a PPD skin test ≥5 mm induration or a positive QuantiFERON-TB Gold
test at screening, but no other evidence of active TB, may be rescreened 1 time and may be 
enrolled without repeating the PPD or QuantiFERON-TB GOLD test if the following conditions 
are met:

after receiving at least 4 weeks of appropriate latent TB infection (LTBI) therapy,

having no evidence of hepatotoxicity (ALT/AST must remain ≤2 times ULN) upon 
retesting of serum ALT/AST prior to administration of investigational product.  Such 
patients must complete appropriate LTBI therapy during the course of the study in order 
to remain eligible, and

meeting all other Inclusion/Exclusion criteria for participation.
Patients who have a documented history of completing an appropriate TB treatment regimen 
with no history of re-exposure to TB since their treatment was completed and no evidence of 
active TB are eligible to participate in the study.  These patients should not undergo TB testing at 
screening or at later scheduled visits in the study, as per the Schedule of Activities (Section 2).
Patients who have had household contact with a person with active TB are excluded, unless 
appropriate and documented prophylaxis for TB was given.  
9.4.5.3.
Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale
The C-SSRS is a scale that captures the occurrence, severity, and frequency of suicidal ideation 
and/or behavior during the assessment period. The scale includes suggested questions to solicit 
the type of information needed to determine if suicidal ideation and/or behavior occurred. The 
C-SSRS is administered by an appropriately trained healthcare professional with at least 1 year 
of patient care/clinical experience. The tool was developed by the National Institute of Mental 
Health trial group (TASA) for the purpose of being a counterpart to the Columbia Classification 
Algorithm of Suicide Assessment categorization of suicidal events. Patients will be assessed 
according to the Schedule of Activities (Section 2). The Self-Harm Supplement Form is a 1-
question form that asks for the number of suicidal or nonsuicidal self-injurious behaviors the 
patient has experienced since the last assessment. For each unique event identified, a 
questionnaire (Self-Harm Follow-Up Form) which collects supplemental information on the self-


I1F-JE-RHCV Clinical Protocol
Page 45
LY2439821
injurious behavior is to be completed. The Self-Harm Supplement Form will be completed 
according to the Schedule of Activities (Section 2).
The non-leading AE collection should occur prior to the collection of the C-SSRS. If a 
suicide-related event is discovered during the C-SSRS, but was not captured during the non-
leading AE collection, sites should not change the AE form. If an event is serious or leads to 
discontinuation, this is an exception where the SAE and/or AE leading to discontinuation should 
be included on the AE form and the process for reporting SAEs should be followed.
9.4.5.4.
Hepatitis B Screening
Patients who test HBsAg, HBcAb+ in conjunction with positive confirmatory HBV DNA test, or 
have positive HBV DNA test, regardless of HBsAb status, at screening will be excluded.
If an enrolled patient is positive for HBsAb and/or HBcAb, and negative for HBV DNA, the 
HBV DNA needs to be checked at least once every month in Periods 2 and 3 (See Section 2).
In addition to the above, any enrolled patient who is HBcAb+ and/or HBsAb+ and who 
experiences an elevated ALT or AST level >3x ULN must undergo HBV DNA testing.  If the 
HBV DNA test is negative, the investigator should consult with the Lilly-designated medical 
monitor regarding further management of the patient.  
If the result of the HBV DNA testing is positive, the patient must be discontinued from the study 
and should receive appropriate follow-up medical care, including consideration for antiviral 
therapy. A specialist physician in the care of patients with hepatitis (for example, infectious 
disease or hepatologist subspecialists) should be consulted and potentially start antiviral therapy 
prior to discontinuation of any immunosuppressant therapy (including study drug). Timing of 
discontinuation from the study and of any immunosuppressant therapy (including study drug) 
needs to be based on the recommendations of the consulting specialist physician in conjunction 
with the investigator and medical guidelines/standard of care.
9.4.5.5.
Hepatitis C Screening
Patients who test positive for HCV antibody and have a positive confirmatory HCV RNA test at 
screening will be excluded.
Patients with a previous diagnosis of hepatitis C who have been treated with antiviral therapy 
and achieved a sustained virologic response may be eligible for inclusion in the study, provided 
they have no detectable RNA on the screening HCV RNA test for this protocol.  A sustained 
virologic response is defined as an undetectable HCV RNA level, 12 weeks after completion of a 
full, documented course of an approved antiviral therapy for HCV.  
Patients who have spontaneously cleared HCV infection, defined as (i) a positive HCV antibody 
test and (ii) a negative HCV RNA test, with no history of anti-HCV treatment, may be eligible 
for inclusion in the study, provided they have no detectable HCV RNA on screening for this 
study, and no detectable HCV RNA on the screening HCV RNA test for this protocol.  
Any patient with a history of HCV infection who develops elevated ALT >3x ULN will be tested 
for HCV RNA.


I1F-JE-RHCV Clinical Protocol
Page 46
LY2439821
Any patient diagnosed with hepatitis C during the study will be discontinued from the study and 
should receive appropriate follow-up medical care.
9.4.6. Safety Monitoring 
Lilly will periodically review evolving aggregate safety data within the study by appropriate 
methods.
9.4.6.1.
Neutropenia
patient with neutrophil (segmented) counts <1500 cells/μL should be managed for neutropenia as 
follows:

<500 cells/μL, see Discontinuation Criteria (Section 8.1)

≥500 cells/μL and <1000 cells/μL, see Discontinuation Criteria (Section 8.1)

≥1000 cells/μL and <1500 cells/μL, and the patient has a concurrent infection that 
requires systemic anti-infective therapy (for example, antibiotic, antifungal agent, 
antiviral agent):
o
The dose of investigational product should be withheld, the patient should receive 
appropriate medical care, and a repeat test for neutrophil count should be performed 
within 4 weeks from knowledge of the initial report.  If the repeat neutrophil count 
has returned to ≥1500 cells/μL, and the infection has resolved or is resolving, the 
patient may resume dosing of investigational product and evaluation at scheduled 
visits.  If the neutrophil count remains ≥1000 cells/μL and <1500 cells/μL, 
investigational product should continue to be withheld and a repeat neutrophil count 
should again be performed within another 4 weeks.  If, after 2 repeat tests, the 
neutrophil count still remains ≥1000 cells/μL and <1500 cells/μL, and:
a. the infection has not fully resolved, the patient will be discontinued from the 
study.
b. the infection has resolved, the patient may resume dosing and evaluation at 
scheduled visits.  However, if resumption of dosing is not deemed appropriate 
by the investigator, the patient will be discontinued from the study.  Patients 
who discontinue the study continue to the ETV.

≥1000 cells/μL and <1500 cells/μL, and the patient has no concurrent infection that 
requires systemic anti-infective therapy (for example, antibiotic, antifungal agent, 
antiviral agent):
o
Dosing may continue, and a repeat neutrophil count should be performed 4 to 
8 weeks from knowledge of the initial report.  Testing may be at a regularly 
scheduled visit or at an unscheduled visit, as necessary. 
Repeat testing should be performed at 4- to 8-week intervals until the neutrophil count has 
returned to ≥1500 cells/μL. If the patient has 3 or more post-baseline neutrophil counts of 
≥1000 cells/μL and <1500 cells/μL, no value of <1000 cells/μL, and no post-baseline infection 
requiring systemic anti-infective therapy, the patient may continue or resume further evaluation 
at scheduled visits, as deemed appropriate by the investigator.


I1F-JE-RHCV Clinical Protocol
Page 47
LY2439821
If a patient without initial concurrent infection develops an infection that requires systemic 
anti-infective therapy, then the patient should be managed as indicated above for patients with
concurrent infection.
9.4.6.2.
Hepatic Safety Monitoring
If a study patient experiences elevated ALT ≥3X ULN, ALP ≥2X ULN, or elevated TBL ≥2X 
ULN, liver testing (Appendix 4) should be repeated within 3 to 5 days including ALT, AST, 
ALP, TBL, direct bilirubin, gamma-glutamyl transferase, and creatine kinase to confirm the 
abnormality and to determine if it is increasing or decreasing.  If the abnormality persists or 
worsens, clinical and laboratory monitoring should be initiated by the investigator and in 
consultation with the study medical monitor. Monitoring of ALT, AST, TBL, and ALP should 
continue until levels normalize or return to approximate baseline levels.  
Hepatic Safety Data Collection
Additional safety data should be collected via the electronic case report form (CRF) if 1 or more 
of the following conditions occur: 

elevation of serum ALT to ≥5X ULN on 2 or more consecutive blood tests

elevated serum TBL to ≥ 2X ULN (except for cases of known Gilbert’s 
syndrome)

elevation of serum ALP to ≥2X ULN on 2 or more consecutive blood tests

patient discontinued from treatment due to a hepatic event or abnormality of liver 
tests

hepatic event considered to be a SAE
See Section 9.4.5.4 with regards to hepatitis B monitoring.
9.4.6.3.
Hypertension
Patients who experience changes in BP (systolic BP at ≥160 mm Hg plus ≥20 mm Hg increase 
from baseline [Week 0; Visit 2]; and/or diastolic BP at ≥100 mm Hg plus ≥10 mm Hg increase 
from baseline) on 2 consecutive visits should receive intervention for the management of 
hypertension. Intervention could include the maximal intervention of withholding the dose of 
investigational product and/or the introduction of an anti-hypertensive agent.
9.4.6.4.
Allergic Reactions and Hypersensitivity Events
All biologic agents carry the risk of systemic allergic/hypersensitivity reactions. Clinical 
manifestations of these reactions may include but are not limited to:

Skin rash

Pruritus (itching)

Dyspnea

Urticarial (hives)

Angioedema (for example, swelling of the lips and/or tongue)

Hypotension

Anaphylactic reaction


I1F-JE-RHCV Clinical Protocol
Page 48
LY2439821
Participants with clinical manifestations of systemic allergic/hypersensitivity reactions should be 
treated per local standard of care.  Additional data describing each symptom should be provided
to the sponsor in the CRF. 
In case of anaphylaxis or generalized urticaria, additional blood samples should be collected as 
close as possible to the onset of the event (see Section 9.4.4 Immunogenicity Assessments). 
Follow-up samples should be obtained at the next regularly scheduled visit or 4 weeks after the 
event, whichever is later.  The lab results are provided to the sponsor via the central laboratory.

Pharmacokinetics
Not applicable
9.6.
Pharmacodynamics
Not applicable
9.7.
Whole Blood Samples for Pharmacogenetic Research
A whole blood sample will be collected for pharmacogenetic analysis as specified in the 
Schedule of Activities (Section 2) where local regulations allow.  
Samples will not be used to conduct unspecified disease or population genetic research either 
now or in the future.  Samples will be used to investigate variable response to ixekizumab and to 
investigate genetic variants thought to play a role in GPP and EP.  Assessment of variable 
response may include evaluation of AEs or differences in efficacy.  
All samples will be coded with the patient/number.  These samples and any data generated can 
be linked back to the patient only by the investigator site personnel.  Samples will be retained at 
a facility selected by Eli Lilly Japan or its designee for a maximum of 15 years after the last 
patient visit for the study, or for a shorter period if local regulations and/or ERBs/IRBs impose 
shorter time limits. 
Molecular technologies are expected to improve during the 15-year storage period and therefore 
cannot be specifically named.  However, existing approaches include whole genome or exome 
sequencing, genome wide association studies, and candidate gene studies.  Regardless of 
technology utilized genotyping data generated will be used only for the specific research scope 
described in this section. 
9.8.
Biomarkers
Not applicable
9.9.
Health Outcomes/Quality of Life Assessment 
The following health outcomes measures that will be assessed in this study:

Itch Numeric Rating Scale (NRS)

Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI)


I1F-JE-RHCV Clinical Protocol
Page 49
LY2439821
9.9.1. Itch Numeric Rating Scale
The Itch NRS is a patient-administered, 11-point horizontal scale anchored at 0 and 10, with 0 
representing “no itch” and 10 representing “worst itch imaginable.” Overall severity of a 
patient's itching from Ps is indicated by circling the number that best describes the worst level of 
itching in the past 24 hours.
9.9.2. Dermatology Life Quality Index
The DLQI is a simple, patient-administered, 10-question, validated, quality-of-life questionnaire 
that covers 6 domains, including symptoms and feelings, daily activities, leisure, work and 
school, personal relationships, and treatment.  Response categories include “not at all”, “a little”, 
“a lot”, and “very much”, with corresponding scores of 0, 1, 2, and 3, respectively, and 
unanswered (“not relevant”) responses scored as “0.” Totals range from 0 to 30 (the higher the 
score, the more quality of life is impaired) and a 5-point change from baseline is considered 
clinically relevant (Basra et al. 2008).


I1F-JE-RHCV Clinical Protocol
Page 50
LY2439821
10. Statistical Considerations
10.1. Sample Size Determination
A total of 12 patients will be enrolled so that at least 5 patients with EP and 5 patients with GPP 
who are inadequate responders (GIS ≥2 at Week 12 and based on investigators’ discretion) will 
continue to use ixekizumab beyond Week 12.  Additional enrollment may occur and the sample 
size may be increased, if no GPP or EP patients enter into Period 3 (Maintenance Dosing Period) 
of the study.
The sample size is based on the following:

In the I1F-JE-RHAT (RHAT) study, 5 GPP and 8 EP patients were enrolled.  One GPP 
patient achieved GIS = 1 (resolved) at Week 12 and the other 4 GPP patients achieved 
GIS = 2 (improved).  One EP patient achieved GIS = 1 at Week 12 and 7 EP patients 
achieved GIS = 2.  Although the sample size is very small, based on the result of RHAT 
study, it is assumed that approximately 5 patients at maximum may not achieve GIS = 1 
at Week 12 and may continue ixekizumab Q2W beyond Week 12 based on the 
investigators’ discretion.

The sample size is determined based on the feasibility in Japan.  The prevalence rate of 
these patients is very low in Japan and it is also difficult to conduct a placebo-controlled 
study for these severe conditions (Umezawa et al. 2003, Rosenbach et al. 2010).
10.2. Populations for Analyses
For purposes of analysis, the following populations are defined:
Efficacy, health outcomes and safety analyses for Period 2 will be conducted on the largest 
analysis set (Full Analysis Set [FAS]), defined as the set of patients with GPP and EP separately 
who receive at least 1 dose of study treatment in Period 2 (FAS Population).
Efficacy, health outcomes and safety analyses for Period 3 will be conducted based on patients 
with GPP and EP separately who receive at least 1 dose of study treatment in Period 3 
(Maintenance Dosing Period Population).
10.3. Statistical Analyses
10.3.1. General Statistical Considerations
Statistical analysis of this study will be the responsibility of Eli Lilly Japan.
Any change to the data analysis methods described in the protocol will require an amendment 
ONLY if it changes a principal feature of the protocol.  Any other change to the data analysis 
methods described in the protocol, and the justification for making the change, will be described 
in the clinical study report (CSR).  Additional exploratory analyses of the data will be conducted 
as deemed appropriate.
Primary analysis of efficacy, health outcome, and safety measures will be conducted based on 
patients who continued ixekizumab 80 mg Q2W beyond Week 12 by disease type (ie, GPP and 


I1F-JE-RHCV Clinical Protocol
Page 51
LY2439821
EP separately) on the Maintenance Dosing Period Population.  Secondary analyses of efficacy, 
health outcome, and safety measures will be conducted for Period 2 on the FAS Population and 
Period 3 on the Maintenance Dosing Period Population, respectively.
Baseline for efficacy, health outcomes, and safety analyses in Period 2 is defined as the last 
available value before first dose in Period 2; in most cases, it will be the value recorded at Week 
0 (Visit 2).  For the efficacy and health outcomes analyses in Period 3, baseline is defined as the 
last available value before the first dose in Period 2 and, in most cases, will be the value recorded 
at Week 0 (Visit 2). Unless otherwise specified, for the safety analyses during Period 3, baseline 
is defined as the last available value before the first dose of ixekizumab in Period 3. In most 
cases, this will be the measure recorded at Week 12 (Visit 6).
As this is a single arm study with very small sample size, no statistical inference will be 
performed.
Continuous data will be summarized in terms of the mean, standard deviation, minimum,
maximum, median, and number of observations.  Categorical data will be summarized as
frequency counts.
10.3.2. Patients
10.3.2.1. Patient Disposition
A detailed description of patient disposition will be provided at the end of the study. 
10.3.2.2. Patient Characteristics
Patient characteristics and baseline clinical measures will be summarized. Baseline 
characteristics will include gender, age, height, weight, baseline disease severity, duration of 
disease, previous systemic therapy, and previous biologic therapy. Baseline clinical and health 
outcome measurements will include PASI, sPGA, BSA, PSSI, Itch NRS, DLQI, C-SSRS, and 
GPP severity index.
10.3.2.3. Concomitant Therapy 
Previous and concomitant medications will be summarized and presented by World Health 
Organization Anatomical Therapeutic Class (WHOATC) and generic name.
10.3.2.4. Treatment Compliance
Treatment compliance with study drug will be summarized for patients who enter Periods 2 and 
3 (Induction Dosing Period and Maintenance Dosing Period), respectively.  Overall compliance 
with therapy is defined to be missing no more than 20% of the expected doses and not missing 2 
consecutive doses, and does not overdose (that is, take more injections at the same time point 
than specified in the protocol).  
10.3.3. Efficacy Analyses
10.3.3.1. Primary Analyses
The primary analysis is to assess the efficacy of ixekizumab 80 mg Q2W beyond Week 12 in 
patients with GPP and EP separately, as measured by the number of patients who improved their 


I1F-JE-RHCV Clinical Protocol
Page 52
LY2439821
GIS from baseline by at least 1 point from Week 12 through Week 20 and with ≤2 of GIS on the 
Maintenance Dosing Period Population.
10.3.3.2. Secondary Analyses
Secondary analyses of the efficacy measures will be summarized for Period 2 on the FAS 
Population and Period 3 on the Maintenance Dosing Period Population, respectively by the 
following endpoints:

Number of patients with each GIS grade (1: Resolved, 2: Improved, 3: Unchanged, 
4: Worsened)

Number of patients who achieve sPGA (0, 1) and sPGA (0)

Number of patients who achieve PASI 75, PASI 90, and PASI 100 from baseline

Change from baseline, and percent improvement from baseline in PASI

Change from baseline in PSSI in patients with scalp involvement at baseline, and percent 
of BSA involvement of Ps.
GPP ONLY

Change from baseline on assessment of GPP which includes assessment of dermal 
symptoms, whole body findings, and laboratory findings for GPP.
10.3.4. Safety Analyses
Safety will be assessed by AEs, laboratory analytes including neutrophil counts, vital signs, 
weight, and C-SSRS.  Overall AEs will be summarized with frequencies.  Other safety measures
including the detailed AEs will be reviewed by listings.  Summaries of overall AEs will be 
created for Period 2 on the FAS Population and for Period 3 on the Maintenance Dosing Period 
Population, respectively.
10.3.4.1. Adverse Events
Adverse events are classified based upon the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities 
(MedDRA).  A TEAE is defined as an event that first occurred or worsened in severity after 
baseline and on or prior to the date of the last visit within the treatment period.  Both the 
date/time of the event onset and the date/time of the first study drug injection are considered 
when determining TEAEs.  Treatment-emergent adverse events will be assigned to the treatment 
period in which they first occurred or worsened.
An overall summary of AEs will be provided for each of the treatment periods, including the 
number of patients who experienced TEAEs, TEAEs by maximum severity, deaths, SAEs, 
TEAEs related to study drug, discontinuations from the treatment due to an AE, and treatment-
emergent AESIs.  By-patient listings of TEAEs, SAEs including deaths, AEs that lead to 
treatment discontinuation, and AESIs will be provided.
Adverse events of special interest will be identified by a standardized MedDRA query (SMQ) or 
a Lilly defined MedDRA preferred term listing.

10.3.4.2. Clinical Laboratory Tests
By-patient listings of laboratory measurements will be provided.
10.3.4.3. Vital Signs, and Physical Findings and Other Safety Evaluations
By-patient listings of vital signs, weight, and C-SSRS will be provided.
10.3.5. Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic Analyses
Not applicable
10.3.6. Evaluation of Immunogenicity 
The frequency of patients with preexisting ADA and with TE ADA+ to ixekizumab will be 
tabulated. Treatment-emergent ADAs are defined as those with a titer 2-fold (1 dilution) greater 
than the minimum required dilution if no ADAs were detected at baseline (treatment-induced 
ADA) or those with a 4-fold (2 dilutions) increase in titer compared to baseline if ADAs were 
detected at baseline (treatment-boosted ADA).  For the TE ADA+ patients the distribution of 
maximum titers will be described.  The frequency of neutralizing antibodies will also be
tabulated in TE ADA+ patients.
10.3.7. Other Analyses
10.3.7.1. Health Outcomes/Quality of Life Assessment
Health Outcomes will be evaluated in this study utilizing the Itch Numeric Rating Scale (NRS)
and the DLQI. The following endpoints will be summarized using descriptive statistics 
described for continuous or categorical data in Section 10.3.1 for Period 2 on the FAS Population 
and Period 3 on the Maintenance Dosing Period Population, respectively:

Change from baseline in DLQI total score and domains, and Itch NRS score

Number of patients who achieve DLQI (0, 1) and DLQI (0)

Number of patients who achieve Itch NRS ≥4 point reduction from baseline for patients 
who had baseline Itch NRS ≥4
10.3.7.2. Subgroup Analyses 
Not applicable
10.3.8. Interim Analyses
No interim analyses are planned for this study.  If an unplanned interim analysis is deemed 
necessary, the appropriate Lilly medical director, or designee, will be consulted to determine 
whether it is necessary to amend the protocol.

Study Design
5.1.
Summary of Study Design
Study I1F-JE-RHCV is a multicenter, open-label, post marketing clinical trial to evaluate the 
efficacy and safety of ixekizumab Q2W beyond Week 12 until Week 20 in patients with GPP 
and EP.
The study consists of 3 periods:

Period 1:  Screening Period (Visit 1) lasting from 7 to 30 days prior to Period 2 (baseline; 
Week 0; Visit 2)
Study investigator(s) will review patient history and screening test results to determine if the 
patient meets all inclusion and none of the exclusion criteria to qualify for participation in 
the study.

Period 2: Induction Dosing Period from Week 0 (Visit 2) to Week 12 (Visit 6)
All eligible patients will be administered 160 mg ixekizumab as 2 SC injections at Week 0 
(baseline; Visit 2) followed by 80 mg as 1 injection at Week 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10.

Period 3: Maintenance Dosing Period from Week 12 to Week 20
Responders (GIS = 1 at Week 12) will complete the study.
Inadequate responders (GIS ≥2 at Week 12 and based on investigators’ discretion) will 
continue to use ixekizumab 80 mg Q2W during Period 3.  If patients show a therapeutic 
response (GIS = 1) with 80 mg Q2W after Week 12, the patient will complete the study.  
Patients who complete the study before Week 20 will have an early termination visit (ETV) 
instead of the original scheduled visit. 
Figure RHCV.5.1 illustrates the study design.

5.2.
Determination of Sample Size
A total of 12 patients will be enrolled so that at least 5 patients with EP and 5 patients with GPP
who are inadequate responders (GIS ≥2 at Week 12 and based on investigators’ discretion) will 
continue to use ixekizumab beyond Week 12.  Additional enrollment may occur and the sample 
size may be increased, if no GPP or EP patients enter into Period 3 (Maintenance Dosing Period) 
of the study.
The sample size is based on the following:

In the I1F-JE-RHAT (RHAT) study, 5 GPP and 8 EP patients were enrolled.  One GPP 
patient achieved GIS = 1 (resolved) at Week 12 and the other 4 GPP patients achieved 
GIS = 2 (improved).  One EP patient achieved GIS = 1 at Week 12 and 7 EP patients 
achieved GIS = 2.  Although the sample size is very small, based on the result of RHAT 
study, it is assumed that approximately 5 patients at maximum may not achieve GIS = 1 
at Week 12 and may continue ixekizumab Q2W beyond Week 12 based on the 
investigators’ discretion.

The sample size is determined based on the feasibility in Japan.  The prevalence rate of 
these patients is very low in Japan and it is also difficult to conduct a placebo-controlled 
study for these severe conditions (Umezawa et al. 2003, Rosenbach et al. 2010).
5.3.
Method of Assignment to Treatment
Patients are assigned to treatment and will receive their assigned treatment as outlined in the 
protocol Section 7.1.

A Priori Statistical Methods
6.1.
General Considerations
Statistical analysis of this study will be the responsibility of Eli Lilly Japan.
Efficacy, health outcomes and safety analyses for Period 2 will be conducted on the largest 
analysis set (Full Analysis Set [FAS]), defined as the set of patients with GPP and EP separately 
who receive at least 1 dose of study treatment in Period 2 (FAS Population).  Efficacy, health 
outcomes and safety analyses for Combined Periods 2 and 3 will be conducted based on patients 
with GPP and EP separately who receive at least 1 dose of study treatment in Period 3 
(Maintenance Dosing Period Population) although the protocol stated that these analyses wll be 
conducted only for Period 3 on the Maintenance Dosing Period Population.
Baseline for efficacy, health outcomes, and safety analyses in Period 2 and Combined Periods 2 
and 3 is defined as the last available value before the first dose in Period 2; in most cases, it will 
be the value recorded at Week 0 (Visit 2).
Change from baseline will be calculated as the value at the visit of interest minus the baseline 
value.  If all baseline values are missing for a particular variable, then the change from baseline 
and the percent improvement from baseline will not be calculated.
In the analysis of adverse events for Period 2 and Combined Periods 2 and 3, all pre-existing
conditions recorded at Visit 1 and any on-study adverse events recorded prior to the first dose in 
Period 2 will be used as baseline events.
As this is a single arm study with very small sample size, no statistical inference will be 
performed.
Continuous data will be summarized in terms of the mean, standard deviation (SD), minimum,
maximum, median, and number of observations.  The minimum and maximum will be reported 
to the same number of decimal places as the raw data recorded in the database.  The mean and 
median will be reported to 1 more decimal place than the raw data recorded in the database.  The 
SD will be reported to 2 more decimal places than the raw data recorded in the database.  In 
general, the maximum number of decimal places reported shall be 4 for any summary statistics.  
Categorical data will be summarized as frequency counts.
The statistical analyses will be performed using SAS® Version 9.4 or higher.
6.2.
Adjustments for Covariates
No statistical adjustments for covariates will be made as statistical inference will not be 
performed in this single arm study with very small sample size.
6.3.
Handling of Dropouts or Missing Data
The methods for imputation of missing data to be used in this study are in accordance with the 
precedent set in other Phase 3 psoriasis trials (Leonardi et al. 2008; Papp et al. 2008) and 
ixekizumab Phase 3 studies.


I1F-JE-RHCV Statistical Analysis Plan Version 2
Page 11
LY2439821
6.3.1. Nonresponder Imputation (NRI)
Categorical binary efficacy and health outcomes variables will be summarized using a 
nonresponder imputation (NRI) method.  Patients will be considered a nonresponder if they do 
not meet the clinical response criteria or have missing clinical response data at the scheduled
time point.  All patients who discontinue study treatment at any time prior to the scheduled visit 
for any reason will be defined as nonresponders regardless of study continuation without study 
treatment at the visit.  Enrolled patients without at least 1 post-baseline observation will also be 
defined as nonresponders.
6.3.2. Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF)
Continuous efficacy and health outcomes variables will be summarized using a last observation 
carried forward (LOCF) method. For patients discontinuing study treatment for any reason, the 
last non-missing post-baseline observation before the missing data will be carried forward to the 
corresponding time point for evaluation. Enrolled patients without at least 1 post-baseline 
observation will not be included for evaluation.
6.4.
Multicenter Studies
This study will be conducted in multiple investigators at multiple sites. However, since all sites 
will have small numbers of subjects, center differences will not be explored.
6.5.
Multiple Comparisons/Multiplicity
No statistical multiple comparisons will be made in this single arm study with very small sample 
size. 
6.6.
Use of an “Efficacy Subset” of Patients
An efficacy subset will not be used in this study because of very small sample size.
6.7.
Patient Disposition
The following patient disposition summaries will be provided for patients with GPP and EP
separately and total:

Number of patients:
o
failed in screening, by primary reason for screen failure
o


For patients who complete Period 2, the number of injections prescribed (that is, 
expected) during Period 2 will be equal to 7 (2 injections at Week 0 and 1 injection every 
2 weeks from Week 2 to Week 10).  

For patients who discontinue during Period 2, the number of injections prescribed during 
Period 2 can be derived from the IWRS study drug dispense dataset.

For patients who complete Period 3, the number of injections prescribed (that is, 
expected) during Period 3 will be equal to 4 (1 injection every 2 weeks from Week 12 to 
Week 18).  

For patients who discontinue during Period 3 or who complete study treatment because of 
GIS = 1 (i.e., Responder) before Week 18 , the number of injections prescribed during 
Period 3 can be derived from the IWRS study drug dispense dataset.  

The total number of injections administered will be derived using the response to the 
question “Was dose administered?” on the Exposure as Collected eCRF page.
A patient will be considered overall compliant with study treatment if he/she misses no more 
than 20% of the expected doses, does not miss 2 consecutive doses (all injections at an injection 
week are counted as 1 dose), and does not over-dose (that is, take more injections at the same 
time point than specified in the protocol).  
The treatment compliance (continuous variable) and the number of patients that are compliant 
and non-compliant (categorical variable) will be summarized for patients with GPP and EP
separately and total for Period 2 and for Combined Periods 2 and 3, respectively (Analysis 
population: FAS Population for Period 2, Maintenance Dosing Period Population for Combined 
Periods 2 and 3).
By-patient listings of study drug dispensed (including lot number and package number) and 
study treatment administration and compliance will be provided (Analysis population: FAS 
Population).
6.10. Previous and Concomitant Therapy
Medication/therapy will be classified into anatomical therapeutic chemical (ATC) drug classes 
using the latest version of the World Health Organization (WHO) drug dictionary.
A by-patient listing of previous and concomitant therapy, and a by-patient listing of previous 
psoriasis therapy will be provided (Analysis population: FAS Population).
6.10.1. Previous Therapy
Previous therapy is defined as the therapy that starts and ends prior to the date of first dose of 
study treatment in Period 2. If therapy start and/or end dates are missing or partial, the dates will 
be compared as far as possible with the date of first dose of study treatment in Period 2. If there 
is clear evidence to suggest that the therapy stopped prior to the first dose of study treatment in 
Period 2, the therapy will be assumed to be previous only.
The number of patients with the followings will be presented for patients with GPP and EP
separately and total (Analysis population: FAS Population):

(topical prescription therapy, topical non-prescription therapy, non-biologic systemic 
agent, biologic agent, non-biologic non-systemic agent, phototherapy) and therapy.  The 
previous biologic agent will be further classified as TNF-α inhibitor (including
infliximab, etanercept, adalimumab, golimumab, certolizumab pegol), interleukin (IL) 
12/23 inhibitor (including ustekinumab), IL-17 inhibitor (including secukinumab and 
brodalumab), and other (including efalizumab, alefacept, or other biological agent).

Reason for discontinuation of previous psoriasis therapy (captured in the Prior Therapy: 
Indication eCRF page) by type and therapy.
6.10.2. Concomitant Therapy
Concomitant therapy for Period 2 is defined as the therapy that starts before, on, or after the first 
day of study treatment of Period 2 and before the last visit date of Period 2, and continues into 
Period 2, that is, either no end date (the therapy is ongoing) or an end date on or after the first 
day of study treatment of Period 2.  Concomitant therapy will belong to Period 2 if the therapy 
starts and ends on the exact same day as the first day of study treatment of Period 2.  
Concomitant therapy for Period 3 is defined as the therapy that starts before, on, or after the last 
visit date of Period 2 and continues into Period 3, that is, either no end date (the therapy is 
ongoing) or an end date after the last visit date of Period 2.  Concomitant therapy will belong to 
Period 3 if the therapy starts and ends on the exact same day as the last visit date of Period 2.
If a partial medication start date is present, the following imputation rules will be utilized in the 
analysis: 

If either month or month and day are missing, then use January 1.

If only day is missing, impute the first day of the month.

If there is any doubt, the medication will be flagged as concomitant.
The number of patients with the following will be presented for patients with GPP and EP
separately and total for Period 2 and for Period 3, respectively (Analysis population: FAS 
Population for Period 2, Maintenance Dosing Period Population for Period 3):

6.11. Efficacy Analyses
Table RHCV.6.1 includes the description and derivation of the primary and secondary efficacy 
measures.
Summaries of efficacy measures will be provided in patients with GPP and EP separately for 
Period 2 and for Combined Periods 2 and 3, respectively (Analysis population: FAS Population 
for Period 2, Maintenance Dosing Period Population for Combined Periods 2 and 3).

BSA
Percentage of Body Surface Area (BSA): 
The investigator will evaluate the 
percentage involvement of psoriasis on each 
patient’s BSA on a continuous scale from 
0% (no involvement) to 100% (full 
involvement), in which 1% corresponds to 
the size of the patient’s hand (including the 
palm, fingers, and thumb) (National 
Psoriasis Foundation [NPF] 2009).

PSSI
Psoriasis Scalp Severity Index (PSSI): will 
be used if the patient has scalp psoriasis at 
baseline.  The scalp will be assessed for 
erythema (redness), induration (hardness), 
and desquamation (shedding of skin) and 
percentage of area affected as follows: 
Erythema, Induration and Desquamation:
0 = Absent
1 = Slight
2 = Moderate
3 = Severe
4 = Severest Possible
Percent of Scalp Involved:
0 = none
1 = <10%
2 = 10 – 29%
3 = 30 – 49%
PSSI score
The PSSI score is a composite score derived from 
the sum of the scores for erythema, induration and 
desquamation multiplied by the score for the extent 
of scalp area involved (percent of scalp involved).  
The range is 0 to 72.
If any individual score is 
missing, the PSSI score

Generalized Pustular Psoriasis (GPP)
Severity Index: will be evaluated only for 
patients with pustular Ps at screening and at 
baseline according to the Japanese 
Dermatological Association GPP revised 
criteria (2010) (Iwatsuki et al. 2010 
[WWW]).  This is a composite score 
derived from the sum of scores for 
assessment of dermal symptoms, systemic 
symptoms, and laboratory findings (range, 0 
to 17).
Assessment 
of dermal 
symptoms
total score
Assessment of dermal symptoms will be assessed 
by the score with the area of erythema (on a 0 to 3 
scale), area of confluent pustules (on a 0 to 3 scale), 
and are of skin edema (on a 0 to 3 scale).  The total 
score will be calculated (range, 0 to 9).
If any individual score is 
missing, the total score 
will not be calculated, 
hence missing.
Systemic

Systemic symptoms and laboratory findings will be 
assessed by the score with fever (on a 0 to 2 scale), 
WBC (on a 0 to 2 scale), C-reactive protein (on a 0

has a range of 0 to 30 (less to more 
impairment) (Finlay and Khan 1994; 
Basra et al. 2008).  
If two or more questions are 
missing, the total score is 
missing.  Note: #7B could be a 
valid missing while #7A is not 
“No.”  That is, #7 should be 
considered as one question.
DLQI (0,1)
A DLQI (0,1) response is defined as a 
post-baseline DLQI total score of 0 or 1.  
A DLQI total score of 0 to 1 is 
considered as having no effect on a 
patient’s HRQoL (Khilji et al. 2002; 
Hongbo et al. 2005).
Missing if DLQI total score is 
missing
DLQI (0)
A DLQI (0) response is defined as a post-
baseline DLQI total score of 0.
Missing if DLQI total score is 
missing
DLQI total score 
and domain 
scores change 
from baseline
Calculated as: observed DLQI (total 
score or domain scores) – baseline DLQI 
(total score or domain scores)
Missing if baseline or observed 
value is missing

Total dose (in mg) is calculated by the number of active injections taken during the treatment 
period multiplied by a dose of 80 mg.
Total number of injections received will be derived using the response to the question “Was dose 
administered?” on the Exposure as Collected eCRF page and the actual dose description from 
IWRS study drug dispense dataset.
6.13.2. Adverse Events
Adverse events will be classified based upon the latest version of the MedDRA.  Adverse events 
will be recorded at every study visit.  Any condition starting on or after the date of informed 
consent will be considered an AE.  Any preexisting condition which worsens in severity on or 
after the date of informed consent will be considered and recorded as an AE on the Adverse 
Events (AE) eCRF page from the date of worsening onwards.  
A treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE) is defined as an event that first occurred or 
worsened in severity after baseline and on or prior to the date of the last visit within the defined 
treatment period.  Both the date/time of the event and the date/time of the dose (that is, injection) 
are considered when determining TEAEs.  The TEAEs will be assigned to the study period to 
which it’s considered treatment-emergent:

The MedDRA lowest level term (LLT) will be used when classifying AEs as treatment-
emergent.  

The maximum severity recorded for each LLT prior to the first dose date/time in the 
treatment period will be used as the pre-treatment severity for that LLT.  If an event 
during the baseline period has missing severity, and the event persists during the 
treatment period, then it will be considered as treatment-emergent, regardless of the 
postbaseline level of severity.  Adverse events with a missing severity during the 
treatment period will be considered treatment-emergent.  

Adverse events with a particular LLT will be classified as treatment-emergent if they first 
start on or after the first dose date/time in the treatment period (i.e., a patient has no 
preexisting conditions with that LLT), or if the severity is greater than the pre-treatment 
severity for that LLT.  If a partial AE start date/time is present, the date/time will be 
compared as far as possible to the treatment start date/time in order to determine whether 
the event is treatment-emergent or not.  If there is any doubt, the event will be flagged as 
treatment-emergent.  
Overall AEs and TEAEs will be summarized for the following study periods and analysis 
populations:

Period 2 (Analysis population: FAS Population) 

Combined Periods 2 and 3 (Analysis population: Maintenance Dosing Period 
Population).


I1F-JE-RHCV Statistical Analysis Plan Version 2

LY2439821
The following summaries will be provided for Period 2 and for Combined Periods 2 and 3
(Analysis population: FAS Population for Period 2, Maintenance Dosing Period Population for 
Combined Periods 2 and 3):

An overall summary of AEs including the number of patients who experienced TEAE, 
TEAE by maximum severity, death, SAE, TEAE possibly related to study treatment, 
discontinuation from the treatment due to an AE (including death), and treatment-
emergent adverse events of special interest (AESIs)

TEAE by maximum severity, system organ class (SOC) and preferred term (PT).
In general, events will be ordered by decreasing frequency in the total patient group (i.e., 
combined GPP and EP) within SOC and PT for sorting.
A by-patient listing of all AEs will be provided (Analysis population: FAS Population).  
6.13.3. Deaths, Other Serious Adverse Events, and Other Notable 
Adverse Events
By-patient listings of deaths, SAEs, and AEs leading to treatment discontinuation will be 
provided (Analysis population: FAS Population).  
All deaths will be included, regardless of the investigator’s or the sponsor’s judgment about 
causality, including:

any deaths occurring during participation in the study in the database for which data are 
being presented 

any deaths occurring after a patient leaves (is discontinued from or completed) the study 
in the database for which data are being presented if the death is the result of a process 
initiated during the study, regardless of when it actually occurred.
An SAE is any AE that results in one of the following outcomes: death, life-threatening, initial or 
prolonged hospitalization, disability or permanent damage, congenital anomaly or birth defect, or 
any other serious/important medical events.
6.13.3.1. Special Safety Topics including Adverse Events of Special Interest
Safety information on special topics including AESIs will be provided.  
Table RHCV.6.3 provides the definitions and derivations of special safety topics including 
AESIs.
Potential AESIs will be identified by a standardized MedDRA query (SMQ) or a Lilly-defined 
MedDRA PT listing.  Preferred terms within an SMQ will be classified as broad and narrow.  In 
the Lilly-defined MedDRA PT listings, Lilly has provided the broad and narrow classification.  
The Lilly-defined broad terms are for a more sensitive search of potential events of interest and 
the Lilly-defined narrow terms are for a more specific search.

In the event that the listing of terms or analysis changes for a special safety topic, it will be 
documented in the Program Safety Analysis Plan (PSAP) which will supersede this document; it 
will not warrant an amendment to the individual study SAP.
By-patient listings of each special safety topic will be provided (Analysis population: FAS

Summary / Listing
Identification of cases of potential anaphylaxis from the clinical trial data involves two criteria:
1)
designed to specifically identify cases (following Criterion 1) based on narrow terms from the 
MedDRA SMQ for anaphylactic reaction (20000021). Criterion 1 for anaphylaxis is defined by the 
presence of a TEAE based on the following MedDRA PTs from the anaphylactic reaction SMQ:

Anaphylactic reaction

Anaphylactic shock

Anaphylactoid reaction

Anaphylactoid shock

Kounis Syndrome

Type 1 hypersensitivity.
2)
to identify possible cases, following Criterion 2 as defined by Sampson et al. (2006). Criterion 2 
for anaphylaxis requires having TEAEs from two or more of four categories of AEs as described 
by Sampson et al. (2006). Occurrence of these events should be nearly coincident based on 
recording of events on the eCRF. All qualifying event must be within 1 day of study drug 
injection.  
The 4 categories to be considered in Criterion 2 are:

Category A:  Involvement of the skin-mucosal tissue

Category B:  Respiratory compromise

Category C:  Reduced blood pressure or associated symptoms

Category D:  Persistent gastrointestinal symptoms.
The specific MedDRA PTs covered by each of these Criterion 2 categories are shown in Appendix 
6 of the PSAP Version 8.
Criterion 2 anaphylactic TEAEs will be defined by the specific combination of categories as follows:

AB:  events based on meeting Category A and Category B (but no other category)

AC:  events based on meeting Category A and Category C (but no other category)

AD:  events based on meeting Category A and Category D (but no other category)

Leukocytes: LLN = 4.0× 10^9/L

Neutrophils: LLN = 2.0× 10^9/L

Lymphocytes: LLN = 1.1× 10^9/L

Platelets: LLN = 150× 10^9/L
6.13.5. Vital Signs and Other Physical Findings
Vital signs and physical characteristics include systolic blood pressure (mmHg), diastolic blood 
pressure (mmHg), pulse (bpm), weight (kg), BMI (kg/m2), and body temperature (°C).
A by-patient listing of vital signs and physical characteristics (including scheduled visits, 
unscheduled visits, and repeat measurements) will be provided (Analysis population: FAS 
Population).
6.13.6. Electrocardiograms
As a 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) will be locally performed only at screening visit (Visit 1),
no ECG data analysis is planned in this study.
6.13.7. Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS)
The C-SSRS is an assessment tool that evaluates suicidal ideation and behavior.  Information on 
the C-SSRS scale can be found through the following link:  http://www.cssrs.columbia.edu.  
Specifically, the following outcomes are C-SSRS categories and have binary responses (yes/no).  
The categories have been re-ordered from the actual scale to facilitate the definitions of the 
composite and comparative endpoints, and to enable clarity in the presentation of the results.  
Category 1 – Wish to be Dead
Category 2 – Non-specific Active Suicidal Thoughts 
Category 3 – Active Suicidal Ideation with Any Methods (Not Plan) without Intent to Act 
Category 4 – Active Suicidal Ideation with Some Intent to Act, without Specific Plan 
Category 5 – Active Suicidal Ideation with Specific Plan and Intent 
Category 6 – Preparatory Acts or Behavior
Category 7 – Aborted Attempt
Category 8 – Interrupted Attempt


I1F-JE-RHCV Statistical Analysis Plan Version 2
Page 39
LY2439821
Category 9 – Actual Attempt (non-fatal)
Category 10 – Completed Suicide.
Self-injurious behavior without suicidal intent is also a C-SSRS outcome (although not suicide-
related) and has a binary response (yes/no).  
Composite endpoints based on the above categories are defined below.

Suicidal ideation:  A “yes” answer at any time during treatment to any one of the five 
suicidal ideation questions (Categories 1-5) on the C-SSRS.

Suicidal behavior:  A “yes” answer at any time during treatment to any one of the five 
suicidal behavior questions (Categories 6-10) on the C-SSRS.

Suicidal ideation or behavior:  A “yes” answer at any time during treatment to any one 
of the ten suicidal ideation and behavior questions (Categories 1-10) on the C-SSRS.  
By-patient listings of C-SSRS and Self-Harm supplement and follow-up data will be provided 
(Analysis population: FAS Population).  Given that few or no suicidal ideation or behaviors are 
anticipated, C-SSRS will be listed by patient and visit.  Only patients that show suicidal 
ideation/behavior or self-injurious behavior without suicidal intent will be displayed (that is, if a 
patient’s answers are all ‘no’ for the C-SSRS, then that patient will not be displayed).  However, 
if a patient reported any suicidal ideation/ behavior or self-injurious behavior without suicidal 
intent at any time point then all their ideation and behavior will be displayed, even if not 
positive.  Note, missing data should not been imputed.  
The Self-Harm Supplement Form in the eCRF is a one-question form that is completed, at any 
visit, including baseline visit, that asks for the number of suicidal behaviors, possible suicidal 
behaviors or nonsuicidal self-injurious behaviors the patient has experienced since the last 
assessment.  For each unique event identified, a questionnaire (Self-Harm Follow-Up Form in 
the eCRF) which collects supplemental information on the self-injurious behavior is to be 
completed.  The Self-Harm data will be listed by patient and visit if number of events on Self-
Harm Supplement Form is not zero.
6.14. Immunogenicity
6.14.1. Definitions and Terms
The following sample- and patient-related definitions and parameters will be used to describe the 
immunogenicity data.  
6.14.1.1. Sample Category Definitions
Samples are classified into the following categories:

Unevaluable sample: Sample could not be tested for anti-drug antibody (ADA) due 
to sample loss, mishandling, or errors in collection, processing, storage, etc.  


I1F-JE-RHCV Statistical Analysis Plan Version 2
Page 40
LY2439821

Antidrug antibody (ADA) Positive sample: The presences of ADA is detected and 
confirmed.  The samples are reported as positive.  If the sample is positive, a titer 
value is reported.

Neutralizing anti-drug antibody (NAb) Positive sample: NAb are reported as 
detected.

ADA Negative sample: The presence of ADA is not detected and the assay drug 
tolerance level is not exceeded.

NAb Negative sample: The presence of NAb is not detected and the assay drug 
tolerance level is not exceeded.

Inconclusive sample: when ADA/NAb is not detected in a sample but drug is present 
in the same sample at a level that can cause interference in the ADA/NAb detection 
method, then the negative ADA/NAb result cannot be confirmed and the sample 
should be considered inconclusive.
o
Using the psoriasis disease-specific cut point, the upper limit of drug tolerance 
in the ADA assay is 480.5 µg/mL and the upper limit of drug tolerance in the 
NAb assay is 1100 ng/mL.  Confirmation of a negative ADA result is based 
on measured ixekizumab levels.  Ixekizumab concentration below the 
determined drug tolerance of the ADA/NAb assays allow for confirmation of 
negative ADA/NAb results.
Figure RHCV.6.1 illustrates the relationship of some of the above terms.

Sample definitions.
6.14.1.2. Patient Category Definitions
The following categories are applied to patients based on the classification of their samples:

Unevaluable patient: a) a patient with no evaluable baseline sample and/or no 
evaluable post-baseline samples; b) a patient with an evaluable baseline sample 
but no evaluable post-baseline sample; c) a patient with no evaluable baseline 
sample, but whose evaluable post-baseline values are all ADA positive or a mix 
of positive and negative.  (Note: If all post-baseline samples are negative, the 
patient is considered ‘evaluable’ and will be classified as ADA-negative.)

Evaluable patient: a) Patient with an evaluable baseline sample and at least 1 
evaluable post-baseline sample (that is, sample after administration of study 
drug); b) patient with no evaluable baseline sample whose evaluable post-baseline
samples are all ADA negative.
Figure RHCV.6.2 illustrates the relationship of the above terms.

at baseline and post-baseline.
6.14.1.3. Definitions for Clinical Interpretation of Assay Results

Baseline: For immunogenicity summaries, baseline is the last nonmissing 
observation on, or prior to, the date of the first injection of study treatment of 
ixekizumab (Week 0).  

Baseline ADA positive (preexisting antibody): ADA detected in a sample 
collected at baseline.

TE-ADA positive: a) a patient with a 4-fold (or 2 dilutions) increase over a 
positive baseline antibody titer; or b) for a negative baseline titer, a patient with 
an increase from the baseline to a level of 1:10.

Baseline ADA-negative: ADA is not detected in a sample collected at baseline.

TE-ADA inconclusive patient: A patient without a TE-ADA positive sample and 
with at least 1 sample for which drug levels may interfere with the ADA assay.  

TE-ADA negative patient: A patient who is evaluable for TE-ADA and is not 
either TE-ADA positive or TE-ADA inconclusive.  
Figure RHCV.6.3 illustrates the relationship of some of these terms.

Abbreviation:  ADA = anti-drug antibody.  
Figure RHCV.6.3.
Relationship of terms for clinical interpretation of assay results for 
evaluable patients.
All ADA positive samples will be evaluated for NAb.  Definitions for NAb patient status will be 
defined as follows:

NAb-positive patient: A patient where a NAb positive result is detected for 
≥1 TE-ADA positive samples.

NAb-inconclusive patient: A patient without a NAb positive sample and with at 
least 1 sample for which drug levels may interfere with the NAb assay.  

NAb-negative patient: A patient who is evaluable for NAb and is not either NAb 
positive sample or NAb inconclusive.
A flow chart that reflects the connection between the analytical test results and the clinical 
interpretation based on the definitions is shown in Figure RHCV.6.4.

6.14.2. Immunogenicity Analyses
Immunogenicity evaluable patients will be grouped into TE-ADA status groups as follows:
TE-ADA Status Groups:

TE-ADA status (positive, negative, or inconclusive);

NAb status (positive, negative, or inconclusive) for TE-ADA positive patients; and

TE-ADA titer groups for TE-ADA positive patients:


I1F-JE-RHCV Statistical Analysis Plan Version 2
Page 45
LY2439821
o
Low Titer: TE-ADA titer value (LOCF) <1:160;
o
Moderate Titer: TE-ADA titer value (LOCF) ≥1:160 and <1:1280; and 
o
High Titer: TE-ADA titer value (LOCF) ≥1:1280.  
6.14.2.1. Analyses of Characteristics of ADA Immune Response 
Overall ADA effects will be summarized on all evaluable patients within the following study 
periods and analysis populations:

Period 2 (Analysis population: FAS Population) 

Combined Periods 2 and 3 (Analysis population: Maintenance Dosing Period 
Population).
The overall frequency of patients will be summarized for the TE-ADA status groups.  Scheduled 
visits, unscheduled visits, and repeat measurements will be included.
A by-patient listing to include visit, sample date, injection date, ADA result, ADA titer value, 
TE-ADA result, NAb result, ixekizumab concentration, and GIS result will be provided
(Analysis population: FAS Population).
6.15. Subgroup Analyses
No subgroup analyses are planned for this study because of very small sample size.
6.16. Protocol Deviations
Protocol deviations will be identified throughout the study.  Important protocol deviations are 
defined as those violations from the protocol likely to have a significant impact on the 
completeness, accuracy, and/or reliability of the study data or that may significantly affect a 
subject’s rights, safety, or well-being.  
Important protocol deviations are identified in the TIMP.  Rerfer to the latest version of TIMP.  
The number of patients having important protocol deviations will be summarized within category 
and subcategory of deviations for Combined Periods 2 and 3 in patients with GPP and EP
separately and total (Analysis population: FAS Population).
A by-patient listing of important protocol deviations will be provided (Analysis population: FAS 
Population).
6.17. Interim Analyses and Data Monitoring
No interim analyses are planned for this study.
6.18. Annual Report Analyses
Summary table of treatment-emergent adverse events related to study treatment will be presented 
for Periodic Safety Report (PSR).  A by-patient listing will also be provided for re-examination.


I1F-JE-RHCV Statistical Analysis Plan Version 2

LY2439821
6.19. Clinical Trial Registry Analyses
Additional analyses will be performed for the purpose of fulfilling the Clinical Trial Registry 
(CTR) requirements.  
Analyses provided for the CTR requirements include the following:
Summary of adverse events, provided as a dataset which will be converted to an XML file.   
Both Serious Adverse Events and ‘Other’ Adverse Events are summarized: by MedDRA 
preferred term.

An adverse event is considered ‘Serious’ whether or not it is a treatment emergent 
adverse event (TEAE).

An adverse event is considered in the ‘Other’ category if it is both a TEAE and is not 
serious.  For each Serious AE and ‘Other’ AE, for each term, the following are provided:
o
the number of participants at risk of an event
o
the number of participants who experienced each event term
o
the number of events experienced.

Consistent with www.ClinicalTrials.gov requirements, ‘Other’ AEs that occur in fewer 
than 5% of patients in every treatment group may not be included if a 5% threshold is 
chosen (5% is the minimum threshold).

AE reporting is consistent with other document disclosures for example, the CSR, 
manuscripts, and so forth.
