2 INTRODUCTION
2.1 Background and Rationale
Why This Study Is Being Conducted
This study will provide data on the long-term safety, tolerability, and efficacy of ABBV-105 and ABBV-599 
in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) subjects who have completed the Phase 2 study of these compounds 
(Study M16-063).  ABBV-105 is a novel, covalent Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk) inhibitor being developed 
for the treatment of immune-mediated inflammatory diseases including RA.  ABBV-105 may be given 
alone or in combination with upadacitinib, which is known as ABBV-599.
Btk is a non-receptor tyrosine kinase expressed in multiple immune cell types associated with the 
pathogenesis of RA and other autoimmune diseases.  Btk is required for the propagation of pro-
inflammatory signals downstream of immunoreceptors that promote autoimmune disease 
pathogenesis.  Compared to other Btk inhibitors, such as CC-292 (Celgene) and ibrutinib 
(Pharmacyclics/Janssen), ABBV-105 showed better potency, superior selectivity, and less off-target 
activity, which is considered favorable for administration in humans.
Upadacitinib is a novel Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor, which displays unique selectivity for the JAK1 
receptor.  Upadacitinib is currently being developed for the treatment of adult patients with moderately 
to severely active RA (Phase 3), psoriatic arthritis (Phase 3), atopic dermatitis (Phase 3), Crohn's disease 
(Phase 3), ulcerative colitis (Phase 2), axial spondyloarthritis (Phase 2), and giant cell arteritis (Phase 2).  
Development of other indications of interest (i.e., dermatomyositis and/or Takayasu arteritis) are under 
discussion.  As of 20 June 2017, a total of 1232 subjects have received upadacitinib, which includes 
469 healthy volunteers, 553 RA patients, and 210 Crohn's disease patients.  Upadacitinib was generally 
well-tolerated, and the types of adverse events (AEs) seen were typical of patients treated with 
immunosuppressant therapies.
ABBV-105 given alone or as the ABBV-599 combination therapy (with upadacitinib) are anticipated to be 
effective in decreasing signs and symptoms associated with active RA in patients with inadequate 
response or intolerance to biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (bDMARDs) by interfering 
with the JAK1/Btk pathways.  Concurrent inhibition of JAK1/Btk pathways in RA may increase percent of 
those responding, as well as depth of response (relative to inhibiting either pathway alone), while 
maintaining an acceptable safety profile.
Clinical Hypothesis
The safety and efficacy of ABBV-105 and ABBV-599 will be maintained over an extended period of 
treatment.
2.2 Benefits and Risks to Subjects
Preclinical toxicology studies of ABBV-105 in animals and ex vivo human samples suggest that the 
potential risks to human subjects of ABBV-105 are anemia, bleeding associated with platelet

dysfunction, and lymphopenia.  Reductions in lymphocytes and the known mechanism of action suggest 
the potential for an increased susceptibility to infection.
ABBV-105 alone and the ABBV-599 combination therapy (with upadacitinib) were well-tolerated with no 
serious adverse events (SAEs) observed in healthy adult subjects at various doses in 3 Phase 1 studies 
(Studies M16-356, M16-357, and M16-044).  The current study is a continuation of the Phase 2 study of 
ABBV-105 and ABBV-599 in RA (Study M16-063).  Taken together, the safety data from the Phase 1 
program and the safe and successful completion of Study M16-063 support further development of 
ABBV-105 and ABBV-599 in Phase 2 in subjects with RA.  
The data from over 4,000 RA patients treated with upadacitinib support an acceptable safety profile and 
a positive risk-benefit for treatment of adult patients with moderately to severely active RA.  
Data from the primary efficacy analyses of the 5 pivotal Phase 3 clinical studies for the upadacitinib RA 
development program consistently demonstrated the efficacy of upadacitinib 15 mg QD and 30 mg QD, 
with both doses of upadacitinib meeting all primary and ranked key secondary endpoints across all 
studies which included all lines of therapy (methotrexate [MTX]-naïve, conventional synthetic disease-
modifying antirheumatic drug [csDMARD]/MTX-inadequate responder [IR], and biologic disease-
modifying antirheumatic drug [bDMARD]-IR).  Upadacitinib 15 mg QD also demonstrated superiority 
over adalimumab across a broad range of efficacy measures.  Overall, the efficacy data in the RA 
development program provide substantial evidence to support the use of upadacitinib as monotherapy 
or in combination with MTX and/or csDMARDs for the treatment of adults with moderately to severely 
active RA.
Serious infections and herpes zoster are identified risks for upadacitinib therapy.  The rates of serious 
infections and herpes zoster for upadacitinib therapy are within the range of other marketed JAK 
inhibitor products.
In regarding to the potential for malignancy, per upadacitinib Investigator's Brochure version 18.0:
Few malignancies were reported in the controlled portions of the upadacitinib Phase 2 and 3 clinical 
studies precluding any conclusions about rates between treatment groups.  The interim rate of total 
malignancies excluding and including non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) on upadacitinib in the Phase 2 
open label extension Study M13-538, which includes long-term treatment data, are both 0.7 E/100 PY.  
The malignancy types reported in the clinical program have been consistent with that anticipated in the 
study population including solid tumors such as breast, prostate and lung cancer, lymphoma, and NMSC.  
A number of subjects with malignancy had pre-existing risk factors for malignancy and/or prior history of 
treatment with other immunosuppressive therapy.
The malignancy rate is higher in the upadacitinib 30 mg group compared to the 15 mg treatment group; 
however, the difference in rates is related to more cases of NMSC and not other malignancy types.
For further details, please see findings from completed studies, including safety data, in the most recent 
ABBV-105 and upadacitinib Investigator's Brochures.
For safety monitoring, the following are included in the protocol:

3.3 Safety Endpoints
Safety evaluations include AE monitoring, physical examinations, vital sign measurements, 
electrocardiogram (ECG), and clinical laboratory testing (hematology, chemistry, and urinalysis) as a 
measure of safety and tolerability for the entire study duration.
An internal data monitoring committee (DMC) will review unblinded safety data on a cohort level 
throughout the course of the study.  A separate DMC charter has been prepared outside of the protocol 
and describes the roles and responsibilities of the DMC members, frequency of data reviews, relevant 
safety data to be assessed, and expectations for blinded communications.
The DMC will be responsible for safeguarding the interests of trial subjects by assessing the safety and, if 
appropriate, the efficacy data of the interventions during the trial, as well as for monitoring the quality 
and integrity of the clinical trial.  The DMC will provide recommendations to the AbbVie contact about 
stopping, modifying or continuing the trial without modification.  The DMC may also formulate 
recommendations relating to the selection/recruitment/retention of subjects, their management, 
improving adherence to protocol-specified regimens and retention of subjects, and the procedures for 
data management and quality control.
The DMC is a multidisciplinary group consisting of clinicians and biostatisticians who, collectively, has 
knowledge in the management of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and experience in the conduct 
and monitoring of randomized clinical trials.  The DMC reviews the available safety data, and as 
applicable, the critical efficacy endpoints, assessing risks and benefits, and recommends to the AbbVie 
Contact whether to continue without change, modify, or stop the Study M16-063 clinical trial.
All DMC members will be internal AbbVie members with expertise in clinical safety monitoring and who 
have no affiliation with ABBV-599.  Following initiation of the study, DMC members will have no 
involvement in the conduct of Study M16-063 or other ABBV-599 clinical trials outside their role on the 
DMC.  All DMC members have agreed to not discuss unblinded data with those who have involvement 
with Study M16-063 or ABBV-599 development until the Study M16-063 unblinded information is made 
available to the team.
An independent Cardiovascular Adjudication Committee (CAC) will adjudicate blinded cardiac and 
cerebrovascular events.  A CAC charter has been prepared separately from the protocol and defines
objective, scope, frequency, and triggers of data reviews.
The clinical trial is to be discontinued or terminated in case of an unacceptable risk, relevant toxicity, or 
a negative change in the risk/benefit assessment.  This might include the occurrence of adverse events 


STUDY M16-763  |  Version 4.0 | EudraCT 2018-002306-31

of which character, severity or frequency is new in comparison to the existing risk profile.  In addition 
any data deriving from other clinical trials or toxicological studies which negatively influence the 
risk/benefit assessment might cause discontinuation or termination of the study.
3.4 Biomarker Research
Optional samples (whole blood, serum, and plasma) will be collected at specific time points as described 
in the Activity Schedule (Appendix D) to evaluate known and or novel disease related or drug related 
biomarkers.  Types of biomarkers may include nucleic acids, proteins, lipids, and/or metabolites.  The 
objective of research is to analyze samples for biomarkers that will help to understand RA, related 
conditions, and response to treatment with ABBV-105 and upadacitinib or similar compounds.  Research 
on samples collected in Germany will be limited to RA, ABBV-105, and upadacitinib.  Research may also 
include changes in epigenetics, gene expression, and proteomics that may be associated with RA, 
related conditions, or the subject's response to treatment.  This research is exploratory in nature, and 
the results may not be included with the clinical study report.
4 INVESTIGATIONAL PLAN
4.1 Overall Study Design and Plan
This is a Phase 2, double-blind, multicenter, long-term extension (LTE) study to assess the safety, 
tolerability, and efficacy of ABBV-105 and ABBV-599 in RA subjects who have completed Study M16-063.  
Subjects who meet eligibility criteria (Section 5.1) and enter the study on ABBV-105, ABBV-599, or 
upadacitinib from Study M16-063 will continue on their previously-assigned treatment through the end 
of the LTE study.  Subjects who meet eligibility criteria and enter the study on placebo for both 
ABBV-105 and upadacitinib from Study M16-063 will receive ABBV-599.  Study drug treatment 
assignments include the following:
!
Group 1:  ABBV-599 (ABBV-105 60 mg and upadacitinib 15 mg) administered once a day (QD),
!
Group 2:  ABBV-105 60 mg and upadacitinib placebo QD,
!
Group 3:  ABBV-105 20 mg and upadacitinib placebo QD
!
Group 4:  ABBV-105 5 mg and upadacitinib placebo QD, and
!
Group 5:  Upadacitinib 15 mg and ABBV-105 placebo QD.
This study plans to enroll subjects who completed Study M16-063 at approximately 39 sites in Canada 
and the European Union.  The number, allocation, and location of sites may vary depending on 
operational aspects of the study.  Study sites and subjects will remain blinded for the duration of the 
study.
The duration of the LTE study will be approximately 52 weeks.  This includes a 48-week double-blind 
treatment period with study visits conducted at Weeks 18, 24, 30, 36, 48, and 60 from the baseline visit 
of Study M16-063.  In addition, subjects will also have a telephone follow-up call 30 days after their last 
visit to determine the status of any ongoing AEs/SAEs or the occurrence of any new AEs/SAEs.

4.2 Discussion of Study Design
Choice of Control Group
Subjects will roll over from Study M16-063 and continue on their originally randomized treatment, with 
the exception of those originally randomized to placebo, who will roll over to ABBV-599.  The objective 
of this LTE study is to evaluate long term safety and efficacy of ABBV-105 and ABBV-599, and thus 
primary comparison will be relative to the safety and efficacy profile observed in each arm during the 
initial randomized study.
Appropriateness of Measurements
Standard statistical, clinical, and laboratory procedures will be utilized in this study.  All efficacy 
measurements in this study are standard for assessing disease activity in subjects with RA.  All clinical 
and laboratory procedures in this study are standard and generally accepted.
Suitability of Subject Population
This LTE study will enroll subjects who have completed Study M16-063.  Only those subjects who have 
met all of the specified eligibility criteria will have an option to enter into the LTE study to receive

continued therapy, provided the subject is willing and the investigator believes that continuing therapy 
is appropriate.
Selection of Doses in the Study
Since the study is a continuation of the initial Phase 2 dose exploration study of ABBV-105 and 
ABBV-599, the doses selected for this study are the same as those used previously in Study M16-063.  
These doses were determined based on an analysis of pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic, and safety 
data from Phase 1 studies in healthy volunteers for ABBV-105 and Phase 2 and Phase 3 studies for 
upadacitinib, in addition to efficacy data for upadacitinib in RA.

5.4 Prior and Concomitant Therapy
Subjects should continue on their previous background csDMARD therapy from Study M16-063, 
restricted to the following:  oral or parenteral methotrexate (7.5 to 25 mg/week), sulfasalazine 
(≤3000 mg/day), hydroxychloroquine (≤ 400 mg/day), chloroquine (≤ 250 mg/day), and/or leflunomide 
(≤ 20 mg/day).  Combinations of up to two csDMARDs are allowed except for the combination of MTX 
and leflunomide.
At any time, the csDMARD dose may be decreased for safety reasons.  Subjects taking MTX should take 
a dietary supplement of oral folic acid (or equivalent, such as folinic acid) throughout study 
participation.  Folic acid dosing and timing of regimen should be followed according to Investigator's 
instructions.  AbbVie will not provide the csDMARDs (or folic acid, if taking MTX).
Subjects should continue on their stable doses of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), 
acetaminophen/paracetamol, oral corticosteroids (equivalent to prednisone ≤ 10 mg/day), or inhaled 
corticosteroids.
!
If taking any of the above on a scheduled basis, subjects should continue to take them as they 
did at study entry with no change in dose or frequency, including on study visit days.
!
If subject was not taking any of the above at baseline, these must not be initiated except where 
permitted by protocol (i.e., after Week 18).
!
If taking any of the above, including low-potency analgesics (i.e., tramadol, codeine, 
hydrocodone, or propoxyphene) at baseline on an as-needed (PRN) basis, subjects should 
continue to use them for the same reason and same dose each time, but they should not be 
taken within the 24 hours prior to any study visit to avoid bias in outcome measurements.
Calculation of the Clinical Disease Activity Index (CDAI) is required to determine if a subject fails to 
achieve LDA.  Calculation of CDAI will be performed at the Week 18 visit by Interactive Response 


STUDY M16-763  |  Version 4.0 | EudraCT 2018-002306-31
CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
No use or disclosure outside AbbVie is permitted without prior written authorization from AbbVie.
Technology (IRT) with input from site personnel on joint counts and PtGA and PhGA score.  The 
calculation used to determine CDAI score at Week 18 is as follows:
CDAI = TJC28 + SJC28 + PtGA (cm) + PhGA (cm)
Beginning at Week 18, subjects who fail to achieve CDAI ≤ 10 should have background medication(s) 
adjusted or initiated.  Initiation of or change in corticosteroids, NSAIDs, or acetaminophen, or 
adding/increasing csDMARD doses (restricted to oral or parenteral MTX, sulfasalazine, 
hydroxychloroquine, chloroquine, and leflunomide, except for the combination of MTX and 
leflunomide), is allowed as per local label and at investigator discretion.  If necessary, a burst of systemic 
corticosteroids (maximum dose of 0.5 mg/kg of prednisone or its equivalent) is allowed, after which 
subject should resume their usual daily oral corticosteroid dose.
Intra-articular, intramuscular, intravenous, trigger point or tender point, intra-bursa, and intra-tendon 
sheath injections of corticosteroids, at dosage and frequency per standard of care, are allowed after the 
Week 18 assessments have been performed and at time points thereafter.  For the analysis of the TJC 
and SJC, injected joints will be considered "not assessable" for 3 months from the time of the intra-
articular injection.
In the event of tolerability (or other safety) issues, the doses of these medications may be decreased or 
discontinued with substitution of another permitted medication from that class.  PRN use of inhaled 
corticosteroids is permitted at any time.
Study drug interruption is allowed up to 30 consecutive days.  If the subject undergoes elective surgery, 
the study drug should be interrupted 2 weeks prior to the planned surgery.  If the subject must undergo 
emergency surgery, the study drug should be interrupted at the time of surgery.  In either case, study 
drug may be reintroduced once the physician has examined the surgical site and determined that it has 
healed and there is no sign of infection.
Any medication or vaccine (including over-the-counter or prescription medicines, vitamins, and/or 
herbal supplements) that the subject receives during the study should be recorded through the follow-
up phone call 30 days after the last treatment visit (Week 60).
Any questions regarding concomitant or prior therapy should be raised to the AbbVie emergency 
contact.  Information regarding potential drug interactions with ABBV-105 or ABBV-599 can be located 
in the ABBV-105 or upadacitinib Investigator's Brochures.
5.5 Withdrawal of Subjects and Discontinuation of Study
A subject may voluntarily withdraw or be withdrawn from the study at any time for reasons including, 
but not limited to, the following:
!
Clinically significant abnormal laboratory results or AEs, which rule out continuation of the study 
drug, as determined by the investigator or the AbbVie Therapeutic Area Medical Director.
!
Serious infections (e.g., sepsis) that cannot be adequately controlled within 2 weeks by anti-
infective treatment or would put the subject at risk for continued participation in the trial as 
determined by the Investigator.

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
No use or disclosure outside AbbVie is permitted without prior written authorization from AbbVie.
!
The investigator believes it is in the best interest of the subject.
!
The subject requests withdrawal from the study.
!
Eligibility criteria violation was noted after the subject started study drug and continuation of 
the study drug would place the subject at risk.
!
Introduction of prohibited medications or dosages and continuation of the study drug would 
place the subject at risk.
!
Subject is non-compliant with tuberculosis (TB) prophylaxis (if applicable) or develops active TB 
at any time during the study.
!
The subject becomes pregnant while on study drug.
!
Malignancy, except for localized NMSC or carcinoma in-situ of the cervix.
!
Subject is significantly noncompliant with study procedures, which would put the subject at risk 
for continued participation in the trial.
!
Subject develops a gastrointestinal perforation.
In addition, the following discontinuation criteria also apply:
!
Subjects not responding to therapy can discontinue study drug (or withdraw from study) at any 
time for any reason during the study in order to receive standard of care.
!
Subjects who demonstrate worsening of joint count (SJC and/or TJC) at 2 consecutive visits 
(scheduled or unscheduled) should be discontinued from study drug and treated with standard 
of care at the discretion of the clinician.
!
Starting at the Week 18 visit (after the Week 18 assessments have been performed) and at visits 
thereafter, subjects who fail to achieve at least 20% improvement in TJC and SJC should be 
discontinued.
!
Starting at the Week 18 visit (after the Week 18 assessments have been performed) and at visits 
thereafter, subjects who fail to achieve CDAI ≤ 10 should have background medication(s) 
adjusted or initiated (i.e., initiation of or change in corticosteroids, NSAIDs, acetaminophen or 
adding or increasing doses in csDMARDs [restricted to oral or parenteral MTX, sulfasalazine, 
hydroxychloroquine, chloroquine and leflunomide except the combination of MTX and 
leflunomide is allowed as per local label]).
!
Starting at the Week 18 visit (after Week 18 assessments have been performed) and at visits 
thereafter, intra-articular, intramuscular, intravenous, trigger point or tender point, intra-bursa,
and intra-tendon sheath injections of corticosteroids, dosage and frequency per standard of 
care are allowed.  For the analysis of the TJC and SJC, injected joints will be considered "not 
assessable" for 3 months from the time of the intra-articular injection.
!
Starting at the Week 24 visit and at visits thereafter, subjects achieving 20% improvement in TJC 
and SJC but not achieving CDAI ≤10 should be considered for discontinuation to standard of care 
at the discretion of the clinician.


STUDY M16-763  |  Version 4.0 | EudraCT 2018-002306-31
CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
No use or disclosure outside AbbVie is permitted without prior written authorization from AbbVie.
Subjects who prematurely discontinue study drug should complete a Premature Discontinuation (PD) 
Visit as soon as possible, preferably within 2 weeks of discontinuation.  See Section 5.6 for information 
regarding early discontinuation.
For subjects to be considered lost to follow-up, reasonable attempts must be made to obtain 
information on the subject's final status.  At a minimum, 2 telephone calls must be made and 1 certified 
letter must be sent and documented in the subject's source documentation.
AbbVie may terminate this study prematurely, either in its entirety or at any site.  The investigator may 
also stop the study at his/her site if he/she has safety concerns.  If AbbVie terminates the study for 
safety reasons, AbbVie will promptly notify the investigator.
5.6 Follow-Up for Subject Withdrawal from Study
To minimize missing data for efficacy and safety assessments, subjects who prematurely discontinue 
study drug treatment should continue to be followed for all regularly scheduled visits, unless subjects 
have decided to discontinue the study participation entirely (withdrawal of informed consent).  Subjects 
should be advised on the continued scientific importance of their data even if they discontinue 
treatment with study drug early.
Following discontinuation of study drug, the subject should be treated in accordance with the 
investigator's best clinical judgment irrespective of whether the subject decides to continue
participation in the study.  In addition, all future rescue- and efficacy-driven discontinuation criteria no 
longer apply.  This includes 20% TJC/SJC calculations at Weeks 12 through 24, Weeks 36 through 40 and 
Week 48 and thereafter, as well as CDAI calculation at Week 26, if applicable.  If at any point a subject 
no longer wants to provide assessments (withdrawal of informed consent) following discontinuation of 
study drug, a second PD visit is not required.
If a subject prematurely discontinues study participation (withdrawal of informed consent), the 
procedures outlined for the PD visit should be completed as soon as possible, preferably within 2 weeks.  
In addition, if subject is willing, a 30-day follow-up phone call after the last dose of study drug may be 
completed to ensure all treatment-emergent AEs/SAEs have been resolved.
All attempts must be made to determine the date of the last study drug dose and the primary reason for 
discontinuation of study drug or study participation.  The information will be recorded on the 
appropriate electronic case report form (eCRF) page.  However, these procedures should not interfere 
with the initiation of any new treatments or therapeutic modalities that the Investigator feels are 
necessary to treat the subject's condition.  Following discontinuation of study drug, the subject should 
be treated in accordance with the Investigator's best clinical judgment irrespective of whether the 
subject decides to continue participation in the study.
If a subject withdraws from the main study, biomarker research samples will continue to be stored and 
analyzed.  A subject must contact the study investigator if they no longer want their samples to be 
stored and analyzed.  Once AbbVie is notified, no new information will be collected, no new analysis will 
be started, and the samples will be destroyed unless a regulatory authority requires AbbVie to keep 
them.  However, if AbbVie (or people or companies working with AbbVie) collected any information or 




STUDY M16-763  |  Version 4.0 | EudraCT 2018-002306-31
CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
No use or disclosure outside AbbVie is permitted without prior written authorization from AbbVie.
AbbVie will not supply drug other than ABBV-105, upadacitinib, and matching placebo for this study.  
ABBV-105, upadacitinib, and matching placebo will be packaged in bottles with quantities sufficient to 
accommodate study design.  Each kit will be labeled per local requirements, and this label must remain 
affixed to the kit.  Upon receipt, study drug should be stored as specified on the label and kept in a 
secure location.
Each kit will contain a unique kit number.  This kit number is assigned to a subject via interactive 
response technology (IRT) and encodes the appropriate study drug to be dispensed at the subject's 
corresponding study visit.  Site staff will complete all blank spaces on the label before dispensing to 
subjects.  Study drug will only be used for the conduct of this study.
5.8 Randomization/Drug Assignment
All subjects were assigned a unique identification number by the IRT at the screening visit for 
Study M16-063.  Subjects who enter the study on active ABBV-105 and/or upadacitinib from 
Study M16-063 will continue on their previously-assigned treatment through the end of the LTE study.  
Subjects who previously received placebo treatment during Study M16-063 will receive ABBV-599 in the 
LTE study.
All AbbVie personnel with direct oversight of the conduct and management of the trial (with the 
exception of AbbVie Drug Supply Management Team), the investigator, study site personnel, and the 
subject will remain blinded to each subject's treatment throughout the study.  To maintain the blind, the 
ABBV-105 capsules and matching placebo capsules and upadacitinib tablets and matching placebo 
tablets provided for the study will be identical in appearance.
In the event of a medical situation that requires unblinding of the study drug assignment, the 
Investigator is requested to contact the AbbVie Therapeutic Area Medical Director prior to breaking the 
blind.  However, if an urgent therapeutic intervention is necessary which warrants breaking the blind 
prior to contacting the AbbVie Therapeutic Area Medical Director, the Investigator can directly access 
the IRT system via the Unblind Subject transaction, which is available to the Investigator.  If the IRT 
system is unavailable, unblinding may occur by contacting EndPoint technical support via either phone 
(preferred) or email (support@endpointclinical.com).  For country-specific phone numbers, please see 
the following website:  http://www.endpointclinical.com/help-desk/.  In the event that the blind is 
broken before notification to the AbbVie Therapeutic Area Medical Director, we request that the AbbVie 
Therapeutic Area Medical Director be notified within 24 hours of the blind being broken.  
5.9 Protocol Deviations
The investigator is responsible for complying with all protocol requirements, written instructions, and 
applicable laws regarding protocol deviations.  Protocol deviations are prohibited except when 
necessary to eliminate an immediate hazard to study subjects.  If a protocol deviation occurs (or is 
identified), the investigator is responsible for notifying the IEC/IRB, regulatory authorities (as 
applicable), and AbbVie.

6 SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
6.1 Complaints and Adverse Events
Complaints
A complaint is any written, electronic, or oral communication that alleges deficiencies related to the 
physical characteristics, identity, quality, purity, potency, durability, reliability, safety, effectiveness, or 
performance of a product/device.  Complaints associated with any component of this investigational 
product must be reported to AbbVie.
Product Complaints
A product complaint is any complaint related to the biologic or drug component of the product or to the 
medical device component(s).
For a product this may include, but is not limited to, damaged/broken product or packaging, product 
appearance whose color/markings do not match the labeling, labeling discrepancies/inadequacies in the 
labeling/instructions (e.g., printing illegible), missing components/product, device not working properly, 
or packaging issues.
Product complaints concerning the investigational product and/or device must be reported to AbbVie 
within 1 business day of the study site's knowledge of the event.  Product complaints occurring during 
the study will be followed up to a satisfactory conclusion.
Medical Complaints/Adverse Events and Serious Adverse Events
An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a subject or clinical investigation subject 
administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with 
this treatment.  An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal 
laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal 
(investigational) product, whether or not the event is considered causally related to the use of the 
product.
The investigators will monitor each subject for clinical and laboratory evidence of AEs on a routine basis 
throughout the study.  All AEs will be followed to a satisfactory conclusion.
An elective surgery/procedure scheduled to occur during a study will not be considered an AE if the 
surgery/procedure is being performed for a pre-existing condition and the surgery/procedure has been 
pre planned prior to study entry.  However, if the pre-existing condition deteriorates unexpectedly 
during the study (e.g., surgery performed earlier than planned), then the deterioration of the condition 
for which the elective surgery/procedure is being done will be considered an AE.
If any of the following AEs in Table 3 are reported, the following supplemental report(s) must be 
completed.




STUDY M16-763  |  Version 4.0 | EudraCT 2018-002306-31
CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
No use or disclosure outside AbbVie is permitted without prior written authorization from AbbVie.
Persistent or Significant 
Disability/Incapacity
An event that results in a condition that substantially interferes with 
the activities of daily living of a study subject.  Disability is not 
intended to include experiences of relatively minor medical 
significance such as headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, influenza, 
and accidental trauma (e.g., sprained ankle).
Important Medical Event 
Requiring Medical or Surgical 
Intervention to Prevent 
Serious Outcome
An important medical event that may not be immediately life-
threatening or result in death or hospitalization, but based on 
medical judgment may jeopardize the subject and may require 
medical or surgical intervention to prevent any of the outcomes 
listed above (i.e., death of subject, life threatening, hospitalization, 
prolongation of hospitalization, congenital anomaly, or persistent or 
significant disability/incapacity).  Additionally, any elective or 
spontaneous abortion or stillbirth is considered an important 
medical event.  Examples of such 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.
All AEs reported from the time of study drug administration until 30 days after discontinuation of study 
drug administration will be collected, whether solicited or spontaneously reported by the subject.  In 
addition, SAEs and protocol-related nonserious AEs will be collected from the time the subject signs the 
study-specific informed consent.
AbbVie will be responsible for Suspected Unexpected Serious Adverse Reactions (SUSAR) reporting for 
the Investigational Medicinal Product (IMP) in accordance with global and local requirements.
AEs will be monitored throughout the study to identify any of special interest that may indicate a trend 
or risk to subjects.
Adverse Events of Special Interest
The following adverse events of special interest (AESI) will be monitored during the study:
!
Serious infections
!
Opportunistic infections
!
Herpes zoster
!
Tuberculosis
!
Malignancy (all types)
!
Gastrointestinal perforations
!
Adjudicated cardiovascular events (e.g., major adverse cardiovascular event [MACE])
!
Anemia
!
Neutropenia

!
Lymphopenia
!
Increased serum creatinine and renal dysfunction
!
Hepatic events and increased hepatic transaminases
!
Elevated creatine phosphokinase
!
Embolic and thrombotic events (non-cardiac, non-CNS)
Adverse Event Severity and Relationship to Study Drug
The investigator will rate the severity of each AE according to the Rheumatology Common Toxicity 
Criteria v.2.0.  If no grading criteria are provided for the reported event, then the event should be 
graded as follows:
!
Mild (Grade 1):  Asymptomatic or mild symptoms; clinical or diagnostic observations only; 
intervention not indicated.
!
Moderate (Grade 2):  Minimal, local or noninvasive intervention indicated; limiting age-
appropriate instrumental activities of daily living (ADL) (instrumental ADL refer to preparing 
meals, shopping for groceries or clothes, using the telephone, managing money, etc.).
!
Severe (Grade 3):  Severe or medically significant but not immediately life-threatening; 
hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization indicated; disabling; limiting self care ADL (self 
care ADL refer to bathing, dressing and undressing, feeding self, using the toilet, taking 
medications, and not bedridden);
!
Life-threatening (Grade 4):  Urgent intervention indicated or death related to AE.
The investigator will use the following definitions to assess the relationship of the AE to the use of study 
drug:
Reasonable Possibility – After consideration of factors including timing of the event, biologic plausibility, 
clinical judgment, and potential alternative causes, there is sufficient evidence (information) to suggest 
a causal relationship.
No Reasonable Possibility – After consideration of factors including timing of the event, biologic 
plausibility, clinical judgment, and potential alternative causes, there is insufficient evidence 
(information) to suggest a causal relationship.
Pregnancy
While not an AE, pregnancy in a study subject must be reported to AbbVie within 1 working day after 
the site becomes aware of the pregnancy.  Subjects who become pregnant must be discontinued 
(Section 5.5).  Information regarding the pregnancy and the outcome will be collected.
The pregnancy outcome of an elective or spontaneous abortion, stillbirth, or congenital anomaly is 
considered a SAE and must be reported to AbbVie within 24 hours after the site becomes aware of the 
event.

6.2 Toxicity Management
The management of specific AEs and laboratory parameters is described in the Operations Manual.
The toxicity management of AEs, including AESIs, consists of safety monitoring (review of AEs on an 
ongoing basis and periodic/ad hoc review of safety issues by a data monitoring committee [DMC]), 
interruption of study drug dosing with appropriate clinical management (if applicable), and 
discontinuation of the subjects from study drug.  The management of specific AEs and laboratory 
parameters is described below.
For subjects who have had study drug discontinued and are instead on standard of care therapies, these 
toxicity management requirements do not apply (including alerts from the central lab), and any 
intolerability to standard of care therapies should be managed by the prescribing physician.
Serious Infections: Subjects should be closely monitored for the development of signs and symptoms of 
infection during and after treatment with study drug.  Study drug should be interrupted if a subject 
develops a serious infection or an opportunistic infection.  A subject who develops a new infection 
during treatment with study drug should undergo prompt diagnostic testing appropriate for an 
immunocompromised subject.  As appropriate, antimicrobial therapy should be initiated, and the 
subject should be closely monitored.  Study drug may be restarted once the infection has been 
successfully treated.  Subjects who develop active TB or experience hepatitis B reactivation must be 
discontinued from study drug.  To further monitor subjects for serious infections, subjects will complete 
at-home weekly temperature monitoring.  If above 100.5 degrees Fahrenheit (38 degrees Celsius), 
subject should inform their study doctor to assess the need for further evaluation. 
Subjects should be advised to follow local public health guidelines in order to prevent subjects enrolled 
in these trials from acquiring TB. 
Serious Gastrointestinal Events:  Subjects presenting with the onset of signs or symptoms of a serious 
gastrointestinal event should be evaluated promptly for early identification of gastrointestinal 
perforation.  If the diagnosis of gastrointestinal perforation is confirmed, the subject must be 
discontinued from study drug.
Cardiovascular Events (MACE):  Subjects presenting with potential cardiovascular events should be 
carefully monitored.  These events will be reviewed and adjudicated by the independent CAC in a 
blinded manner.
Malignancy:  Subjects who develop malignancy other than NMSC or carcinoma in situ of the cervix must 
be discontinued from study drug.  Information, including histopathological results, should be queried for 
the confirmation of the diagnosis.
ECG Abnormality: Subjects must be discontinued from study drug for an ECG change considered 
clinically significant and with reasonable possibility of relationship to study drug OR a confirmed 
absolute QT interval corrected for heart rate using Fridericia's correction formula (QTcF) value 
> 500 msec.
Management of Select Laboratory Abnormalities:  For any given laboratory abnormality, the 
Investigator should assess the subject and apply the standard of care for medical evaluation and

treatment following any local guidelines.  Specific toxicity management guidelines for abnormal 
laboratory values are described in the operations manual and may require an appropriate supplemental 
eCRF be completed.  All abnormal laboratory tests that are considered clinically significant by the 
Investigator will be followed to a satisfactory resolution.  If a repeat test is required, the repeat testing 
must occur as soon as possible.
7 STATISTICAL METHODS & DETERMINATION OF SAMPLE SIZE
7.1 Statistical and Analytical Plans
Complete and specific details of the statistical analysis will be described and fully documented in the 
Statistical Analysis Plan (SAP).  The SAP will be finalized prior to the database lock.  The statistical 
analyses will be performed using SAS (SAS Institute Inc., Cary, North Carolina, USA).
7.2 Definition for Analysis Populations
The Full Analysis Set (FAS) includes all subjects who completed Study M16-063 and received at least 
1 dose of assigned study drug in Study M16-763.  The FAS will be used for efficacy and baseline analyses.  
Subjects will be grouped according to treatments as randomized for Study M16-063.
The Safety Analysis Set also includes all subjects who completed Study M16-063 and received at least 
one dose of assigned study drug in Study M16-763.  Subjects will be grouped according to treatments 
actually received in Study M16-763.  The Safety Analysis Set will be used for safety analyses.  
7.3 Statistical Analyses for Efficacy
Analysis of efficacy endpoints will be conducted on the FAS based on treatments as randomized for 
Study M16-063.  The analysis will be based on As Observed data, and no imputation will be conducted.  
The analysis treatment groups will be described as follows indicating from Study M16-063 to extension 
Study M16-763:
!
Group 1:  ABBV-599 to ABBV-599
!
Group 2:  ABBV-105 60 to 105 60 mg
!
Group 3:  ABBV-105 20 to 105 20 mg
!
Group 4:  ABBV-105 5 to 105 5 mg
!
Group 5:  Upadacitinib 15 to Upadacitinib 15 mg, and
!
Group 6:  Placebo to ABBV-599
!
Group 7:  All ABBV-599 (Group 1 and 6)
The baseline for all efficacy analyses in this study will be the baseline in Study M16-063.


STUDY M16-763  |  Version 4.0 | EudraCT 2018-002306-31
CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
No use or disclosure outside AbbVie is permitted without prior written authorization from AbbVie.
There is no primary efficacy endpoint and no formal statistical tests will be applied.  Only descriptive 
statistics will be used for all efficacy endpoints.  Descriptive statistics will be provided for each treatment 
group for all visits.  These include the number of observations, mean with 95% confidence interval, 
standard deviation, median, minimum and maximum for continuous endpoints (or the change from 
baseline measurements), and frequencies and percentages with 95% confidence interval for binary 
endpoints.  
No missing data imputation will be applied.  All efficacy analyses will be based on As Observed analysis, 
and thus a subject who does not have an evaluation at the primary analysis time point will not be 
included.
Details on efficacy analyses are provided in the SAP.
Sample Size Estimation
This is the LTE study for Study M16-063.  All eligible subjects who completed Study M16-063 will be 
enrolled in this study if the subject signs and dates the informed consent.  Based on discontinuation 
criteria mandating efficacy, it is estimated that 20 - 60% of subjects (i.e., between 40 and 120 subjects) 
will ultimately complete the LTE.
7.4 Statistical Analyses for Safety
All safety analyses will be performed in the Safety Analysis Set.
All treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs), SAEs, AEs leading to discontinuation, and AESI will be 
collected during the study.  A TEAE is defined as an event with onset or worsening after the first study 
dose of study drug and within 30 days after the last dose of study drug administration.  The number and 
percentages of subjects experiencing TEAEs will be tabulated using the Medical Dictionary for Drug 
Regulatory Activities (MedDRA®) system organ class and preferred term.  Summaries (including 
percentages and event per 100 patient-year) of SAEs, deaths, AEs leading to discontinuation, and AESI 
will be provided as well.  For selected laboratory and vital signs parameters, mean change from baseline 
and percentage of subject with evaluations meeting pre-defined criteria for Potentially Clinically 
Important values will be summarized.
7.5 Interim Analysis
An unblinded interim analysis to review long-term safety and efficacy will be conducted after the 
Study M16-063 unblinded Week 12 database lock and analysis.  The descriptive statistics will be 
presented for key efficacy and safety endpoints with all available data at the interim analysis.  Detailed 
interim analyses are provided in the SAP.

Added CDAI efficacy endpoints to Section 3.2.
Rationale:  To add endpoints that use a disease activity index that is not influenced by CRP, 
who's synthesis by the liver is directly blocked by JAK inhibition.
!
Added further detail to Eligibility Criterion 2j in Section 5.1.
Rationale:  To clarify proper birth control practices that are to be followed during the study.
!
Removed "relative to baseline from Study M16-063" from discontinuation criteria around 
worsening of SJC and/or TJC, subjects failing to achieve at least 20% improvement in SJC and TJC 
starting at Week 18, and subjects who fail to achieve CDAI ≤10 starting at Week 18
(Section 5.5).
Rationale:  To clarify discontinuation criteria.
!
Added further detail to study drug discontinuation instructions in Section 5.6.
Rationale:  To ensure study drug discontinuation processes are clear.
!

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
No use or disclosure outside AbbVie is permitted without prior written authorization from AbbVie.
Rationale:  Asymptomatic CPK elevation is a known JAK inhibitor class effect and is described in 
the Rinvoq USPI and SmPC.  Testing asymptomatic subjects with more specific tests designed 
only for those with suspicion for myocardial infarction (CK-MB and troponin is not warranted and 
may lead to unnecessary cardiac evaluations and patient anxiety).
!
Added clarification around which type of herpes zoster vaccine the instructions are referring to 
in Section 3.11 of the Operations Manual (Protocol Appendix F).
Rationale:  To ensure it's understood that this requirement only applies to those taking a live 
herpes zoster vaccine.
!

39 sites in Canada and the European Union.  The number, allocation, and location of sites 
may vary depending on operational aspects of the study.  Study sites and subjects will 
remain blinded for the duration of the study.
The duration of the LTE study will be approximately 52 weeks.  This includes a 48-week 
double-blind treatment period with study visits conducted at Weeks 18, 24, 30, 36, 48, 
and 60 from the baseline visit of Study M16-063.  In addition, subjects will also have a 
telephone follow-up call 30 days after their last visit to determine the status of any 
ongoing AEs/SAEs or the occurrence of any new AEs/SAEs.
2.4
Sample Size Determination
This is the LTE study for Study M16-063.  All eligible subjects who completed 
Study M16-063 will be enrolled in this study if the subject signs and dates the informed 
consent.  Based on discontinuation criteria mandating efficacy, it is estimated that 
20 - 60% of subjects (i.e., between 40 and 120 subjects) will ultimately complete the LTE.

Adverse Events
Adverse events (AEs) will be summarized and presented using primary MedDRA System 
Organ Classes (SOCs) and preferred terms (PTs) according to the version of the MedDRA 
coding dictionary used for the study at the time of database lock.  The actual version of 
the MedDRA coding dictionary used will be noted in the AE tables and in the clinical 
study report.  Specific adverse events will be counted once for each subject for calculating 
percentages, unless stated otherwise.  In addition, if the same adverse event occurs 
multiple times within a subject, the highest severity and level of relationship to 
investigational product will be reported.
TEAEs will be summarized using subject data from Study M16-763 and a combination of 
data from Studies M16-063 and M16-763 that includes any subject receiving a dose in 
Study M16-763, respectively.  Only the datasets from Studies M16-063 and M16-763 that 
includes any subject receiving a dose in Study M16-763 will be used for per 100 patient

9.2.1
Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events
To summarize data from Study M16-763 only, a treatment-emergent Adverse Event 
(TEAE) is defined as an adverse event with an onset date that is on or after the first dose 
of study drug from Study M16-763, and no more than 30 days after the last dose of study 
drug from Study M16-763.
To summarize a combination of data from Studies M16-063 and M16-763, a treatment-
emergent Adverse Event (TEAE) is defined as an adverse event with an onset date that is 
on or after the first dose of study drug from Study M16-063, and no more than 30 days 
after the last dose of study drug from Study M16-763.
Events where the onset date is the same as Study M16-063 study drug start date are 
assumed to be treatment-emergent.  If an incomplete onset date was collected for an 
adverse event, the event will be assumed to be treatment-emergent unless there is other 
evidence that confirms that the event was not treatment-emergent (e.g., the event end date 
was prior to the study drug start date). 
The number and percentage of subjects experiencing TEAEs will be summarized.
9.2.2
Adverse Event Overview
The number and percentage of subjects experiencing TEAEs will be summarized by 
treatment group as specified in Section 6.0 and overall.
An overview of AEs will be presented consisting of the number and percentage of 
subjects experiencing at least one event for each of the following AE categories:
●
All TEAEs
●
Treatment-emergent serious adverse events (SAEs)
●
Treatment-emergent severe adverse events
●
TEAEs reasonably possibly related to study drug
●
TEAEs of special interest (AESIs)

for the treatment difference in AE percentages.
9.2.3
Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events by SOC and/or PT
The number and percentage of subjects experiencing adverse events will be tabulated by 
SOC and MedDRA PT by "as treated" treatment groups and overall.  The SOCs will be 
presented in alphabetical order, and the PTs will be presented in alphabetical order within 
each SOC.
The following summaries of adverse events will be generated:
●
All TEAEs
●
Treatment-emergent serious adverse events (SAEs)
●
Treatment-emergent severe adverse events
●
TEAEs reasonably possibly related to study drug
●
TEAEs leading to discontinuation of study drug
●
TEAE leading to death
●
Frequent AEs (reported in 2% of subjects or more in any treatment group)
Subjects reporting more than one adverse event for a given MedDRA preferred term will 
be counted only once for that term (most severe incident for the severity tables and most 
related incident for the relationship tables).  Subjects reporting more than one type of 
adverse event within a SOC will be counted only once for that SOC.  Subjects reporting 
more than one type of adverse event will be counted only once in the overall total.  In 
addition, if the same adverse event occurs multiple times within a subject, the highest

severity and level of relationship to investigational product will be reported.  In addition, 
TEAEs will be summarized by PT and sorted by decreasing frequency for the total active 
group.
9.2.4
Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events per Patient-Years of 
Exposure
TEAEs occurring during Study M16-063 and Study M16-763 will be summarized by 
event rate per 100 subject years, defined as
100 * (Number of TEAEs)/(Total Patient Years)
where total patient years is defined as the sum of the study drug exposure of all subjects 
normalized by 365.25 and rounded to 1 decimal place.
9.2.5
SAEs (Including Deaths) and Adverse Events Leading to 
Study Drug Discontinuation
All serious adverse events (SAEs), deaths, and adverse events leading to discontinuation 
of study drug will be listed.  The number and percentage of subjects experiencing SAEs 
(including deaths) and adverse events leading to discontinuation of study drug will be 
tabulated by SOC and PT or each treatment group.
9.2.6
Adverse Events of Special Interest
The Adverse Events of Special Interest (AESI) categories will be summarized and 
presented by "as treated" treatment group and overall using SOC and MedDRA PT.  The 
AESI categories will be identified by the following search criteria per Standard MedDRA 
Queries (SMQs)/Company MedDRA Queries (CMQs) in Appendix B.
9.2.7
Adverse Events by Maximum Severity
TEAEs will also be summarized by maximum severity by "as treated" treatment group 
and overall.  If a subject has an AE with an unknown severity, then the subject will be 
counted in the severity category of unknown, even if the subject has another occurrence of 


ABBV-105
M16-763 – Statistical Analysis Plan
Version 2.0 – 10 February 2020
23
the same event with a severity present.  The only exception is that if the subject has 
another occurrence of the same AE with the most extreme severity – severe.  In this case, 
the subject will be counted under the severe category.
9.2.8
Adverse Events by Maximum Relationship
TEAEs will also be summarized by maximum relationship to treatment, as assessed by the 
investigator, by "as treated" treatment group and overall.  If a subject has a TEAE with an 
unknown relationship, then the subject will be counted in the relationship category of 
"unknown," even if the subject has another occurrence of the same event with a 
relationship present.  The only exception is if the subject has another occurrence of the 
same TEAE with a relationship assessment of "reasonable possibility."  In this case, the 
subject will be counted under the "reasonable possibility" category.
9.2.9
Adverse Events by "Reasonably Possibly Related" 
Relationship
TEAEs and reasonably possibly related AEs occurring for more than 2% of the subjects in 
any of the treatment groups will also be summarized by MedDRA SOC and PT.  If a 
subject has an AE with an unknown relationship, then the subject will be counted in as 
'related.'

Frequent (> 5%) Adverse Events and Reasonably Possibly 
Related Adverse Events by Preferred Term in Decreasing 
Frequency
TEAEs and reasonably possibly related AEs occurring for more than 5% of the subjects in

Analysis of Laboratory Data
Data collected from central and local laboratories, including additional laboratory testing 
due to an SAE, will be used in all analyses, except for Baseline, where SAE-related 
laboratory assessments on or before the first dose of study drug will be excluded.  
Baseline is defined as the last available measurement before Study M16-063 study drug 
administration. The clinical laboratory tests defined in the protocol operations manual 
(e.g., hematology and clinical chemistry) will be summarized.
Mean change from baseline to each applicable post-baseline visit will be summarized for 
selected laboratory variables, with the number of observations, baseline mean, and visit 
mean, at each visit in Study M16-063 and Study M16-763 for each treatment group.  An 
ANOVA model with only treatment as a factor, not controlling for baseline, will be used 
to test statistical significance for the mean change from baseline among different arms.
The baseline and post-baseline laboratory observations will be categorized as Grade 1, 
Grade 2, Grade 3, and Grade 4 according to OMERACT criteria (Rheumatology Common 
Toxicity Criteria v.2.0).  For creatine phosphokinase and creatinine, NCI CTC criteria will 
be used.
For each laboratory variable, shift tables will be generated that cross tabulate the subjects 
as deemed appropriate by "as treated" treatment group:
●

Note that the minimum/maximum category is used, rather than the category of the 
minimum/maximum value.  The two may be different due to variation in the reference 
range.
No statistical tests will be performed for this analysis.
Laboratory abnormalities will be evaluated based on Potentially Clinically Significant 
(PCS) criteria (Appendix C).  For each laboratory PCS criterion, the number and 
percentage of subjects who have a laboratory value meeting the criteria will be 
summarized.  Listings will be provided to summarize subject-level laboratory data for 
subjects meeting PCS criteria.
According to FDA's Guidance for Industry "Drug-Induced Liver Injury:  Premarketing 
clinical evaluation" (July 2009), when aminotransferase (AT) abnormalities indicating 
hepatocellular injury are accompanied by evidence of impaired hepatic function (bilirubin 
elevation > 2 × ULN), in the absence of evidence of biliary obstruction (i.e., significant 
elevation of ALP) or some other explanation of the injury (e.g., viral hepatitis, alcohol 
hepatitis), the combined finding (i.e., Hy's Law cases) represents a signal of a potential for 
the drug to cause severe DILI.
For the purpose of assessing for potential Hy's law cases, the frequencies and percentages 
of subjects with post baseline liver-specific function test values that meet the following 
criteria of potential clinical interest will be summarized by "as treated" treatment group:
●
ALT ≥ 3 × ULN
●
ALT ≥ 5 × ULN
●
ALT ≥ 10 × ULN
●
ALT ≥ 20 × ULN
●

Analysis of Vital Signs
Vital sign variables include sitting systolic blood pressure, sitting diastolic blood pressure, 
pulse, body temperature, and weight.  The criteria for potentially clinically significant 
vital sign findings are presented in Appendix C.
Mean changes from Baseline to post-baseline visits will be summarized with the baseline 
mean, the visit mean, change from baseline mean, standard deviation, and median.  An 
ANOVA model with only treatment as a factor, not controlling for baseline, will be used 
to test statistical significance for the mean change from baseline.  
The number and percentage of subjects meeting the criteria for potentially clinically 
significant vital sign values will be summarized.
Vital sign variables will be evaluated based on potentially clinically significant (PCS) 
criteria (Appendix C).  For each vital sign PCS criterion, the number and percentage of 
subjects who have a vital sign value meeting the criteria will be summarized.  Listings 
will be provided to summarize subject-level vital sign data for subjects meeting PCS 
criteria.

Interim Analysis
An interim analysis to review long-term safety and efficacy will be conducted after 
Study M16-063 Week 12 database lock and analysis. The descriptive statistics will be 
presented for key efficacy and safety endpoints with all available data at the interim 
analysis. Key efficacy endpoints include DAS28(CRP), CDAI, ACR20/50/70, Patient's 
Assessment of Pain [using visual analog scale, VAS], and HAQ-DI. Key safety endpoints 
include overview of TEAE, TEAEs reasonably possibly related to study drug, SAEs, 
TEAE leading to death, AESIs, mean change from baseline for hematology and 
chemistry, PCS for hematology and chemistry and liver-related elevations.  
Unblinded interim analyses for safety will be conducted by a DMC to review safety.  The 
sponsor, study sites and subjects will remain blinded for the duration of the study until the 
database lock of Study M16-063.
An internal data monitoring committee (DMC) will review unblinded safety data from the 
ongoing study.  The primary responsibility of the DMC will be to protect the safety of the 
subjects participating in this study.  A separate DMC charter has been prepared outside of 
the protocol and describes the roles and responsibilities of the DMC members, frequency 
of data reviews, relevant safety data to be assessed, and expectations for blinded 
communications.
