of individuals with relevant expertise, will blindly review and 
adjudicate infection AEs, such as opportunistic infections, 
influenza, herpes zoster, and TB, reported in the study per 
criteria specified in a separate charter. Additional information 
about these infections may be collected on the case report 
form (CRF) in order to characterize and understand them. 
The Adjudication Committee members will be blinded to the 
treatment assignment of subjects. The structure, 
responsibilities, and procedures of the Adjudication 
Committee will be outlined in a charter. The Adjudication 
Committee members will not be investigators on the study. 
 
An independent cardiovascular (CV) Adjudication 
Committee, composed of individuals with relevant expertise, 
will blindly review and adjudicate cardiovascular and 
cerebrovascular AEs such as, but not limited to, Major 
Adverse Cardiovascular Events (MACE) that include death, 
non-fatal myocardial infarction, non-fatal stroke; 
revascularization procedures; heart failure; dysrhythmias; 
heart blocks; and thrombotic events reported in the study per 
criteria specified in a separate charter. Additional information 
about cardiovascular and cerebrovascular AEs may be 
collected on the CRF in order to characterize and understand 
them. The Adjudication Committee members will be blinded 
to the treatment assignment of subjects. The structure, 
responsibilities, and procedures of the Adjudication 
Committee will be outlined in a charter. The Adjudication 
Committee members will not be investigators on the study. 
 
An independent Suicidal Ideation and Behavior Adjudication 
Committee, composed of individuals with relevant expertise, 
will blindly review and adjudicate suicidal ideation/behavior 
reported in the study per criteria specified in a separate 
charter. Additional information about suicidal 
ideation/behavior may be collected on the CRF. The

PROTOCOL SUMMARY 
1.1 
Synopsis 
Protocol Title: An Open-Label, Single-Arm, Multi-Center, Phase 3 Study to Evaluate the Efficacy 
and Safety of BMS-986165 in Japanese Subjects with Moderate-to-Severe Psoriasis  
Short Title: Efficacy and Safety of BMS-986165 in Subjects with Moderate-to-Severe Psoriasis 
Study Phase: 3 
Rationale: 
BMS-986165 is being evaluated as a therapeutic option for the treatment of subjects with 
moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis based on results of a recently completed 12-week, randomized 
Phase 2, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study (Study IM011011). The Phase 2 study was 
conducted with the following 5 different BMS-986165 treatment arms: 3 mg every other day 
(QOD); 3 mg once daily (QD); 3 mg twice daily (BID); 6 mg BID; and 12 mg QD.  
Overall, 267 subjects were randomized (44 to 45 subjects per treatment arm) in the Phase 2 study. 
All BMS-986165 treatment groups, except 3 mg QOD, achieved the primary endpoint of 
superiority compared with placebo in the proportion of subjects experiencing at least a 75% 
improvement in the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI 75) after 12 weeks of treatment. 
Compared with the placebo treatment group (6.7%), 38.6% (P = 0.0003), 68.9% (P < 0.0001), 
66.7% (P < 0.0001) and 75% (P < 0.0001) of the subjects treated with BMS-986165 at 3 mg QD, 
3 mg BID, 6 mg BID and 12 mg QD doses, respectively, achieved a PASI 75 response. The 
PASI 75 responses plateaued at a dose of 3 mg BID. The dose selected (6 mg QD) for the current 
global Phase 3 studies is expected to demonstrate equivalent efficacy to the 3 mg BID dose. 
This open-label study (IM011066) being conducted in Japan is a supplement to the global  
Phase 3 study (IM011046) which is designed to confirm the efficacy and safety of BMS-986165 
in a larger global population of subjects with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis. For approval in 
Japan, safety data collected from approximately 100 subjects dosed with BMS-986165 is needed. 
To achieve this: the IM011046 study is targeting to randomize approximately 52 Japanese subjects 
of which approximately 26 subjects will be dosed with BMS-986165; the IM011066 study is 
targeting to enroll and dose approximately 80 Japanese subjects.  
In addition to subjects with plaque psoriasis, subjects with erythrodermic psoriasis and generalized 
pustular psoriasis will be allowed to enter the open-label study to explore the safety and efficacy 
in those rare variants of psoriasis for whom additional treatment options are limited. The 
open-label study design allows subjects with erythrodermic psoriasis and generalized pustular 
psoriasis to receive active treatment during the entire duration of the study as it would be unethical 
to have those subjects with these severe variants of psoriasis to receive placebo. To ensure the 
safety of these subjects, certain concomitant medications will be allowed at the time points defined 
per protocol.

Study Population: 
Japanese men and women ≥ 20 years of age: 
1. Diagnosed with stable (defined as no morphology changes or significant flares of disease 
activity in the opinion of the investigator) plaque psoriasis for ≥ 6 months.  
NOTE: Subjects with plaque psoriasis can also be classified to have psoriatic arthritis 
confirmed by Classification Criteria for Psoriatic Arthritis (CASPAR) (APPENDIX 13). 
2. Having moderate-to-severe disease by involvement of ≥10% of body surface area (BSA) at 
both Screening Visit and Day 1, static Physician’s Global Assessment (sPGA) ≥3 at both 
Screening Visit and Day 1, and PASI score ≥12 at both Screening Visit and Day 1.  
3. Who are candidates for phototherapy or systemic therapy.  
4. For generalized pustular psoriasis, those with prior history of or newly diagnosed generalized 
pustular psoriasis based on Japanese Dermatological Association (JDA)1 criteria and have been 
on a stable treatment regimen for at least 2 weeks prior to Day 1; have erythematous lesions 
pustules involving ≥ 10% of body surface area (ie, score of at least 2 on the evaluation of skin 
symptoms [APPENDIX 17]) at both Screening Visit and Day 1; have a total JDA severity 
index score <14 (APPENDIX 17) at Screening Visit; and who are candidates for phototherapy 
or systemic therapy. 
5. For erythrodermic psoriasis, involving ≥80% of BSA at screening and Day 1, who also have a 
history of plaque psoriasis, and who are candidates for phototherapy or systemic therapy. 
Objectives and Endpoints: 
The objective of the study is to assess safety and efficacy of BMS-986165 6 mg QD in subjects 
with stable moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis (with or without psoriatic arthritis), erythrodermic 
psoriasis, or generalized pustular psoriasis. 
The primary endpoints are: 
x sPGA 0/1 response assessed as a proportion of subjects with a sPGA score of 0 or 1 at Week 16 
x PASI 75 response assessed as a proportion of subjects who achieve a 75% improvement from 
baseline in the PASI score at Week 16 
The additional endpoints can be found in Section 3. 
Overall Design: 
This will be a 52-week, multi-center, open-label, single-arm, Phase 3 study in approximately 
80 Japanese subjects with moderate-to-severe stable, plaque psoriasis, generalized pustular 
psoriasis, or erythrodermic psoriasis. Subjects will undergo screening evaluations to determine 
eligibility within 28 days prior to administration of study medication. Following the screening 
process, approximately 80 qualified subjects will receive BMS-986165 6 mg QD for up to 52 
weeks.

Enrollment should not occur until at least 8 days after the Screening Visit 
 
.  
A subject with 
 at Week 24 may be treated with restricted topical medications, such as 
topical ultra-high to moderate potency corticosteroids (World Health Organization [WHO] Classes 
I-V), only at this time point at the discretion of the investigator. 
Subjects who discontinue study treatment early are expected to remain in the study for continued 
follow-up until Week 52. Those completing 52 weeks of treatment may be eligible to roll over to 
a long-term extension study and be treated with BMS-986165 6 mg QD. 
Note: Enrollment into the study will be divided into 2 enrollment periods: Parts A and B.  
Part A will only enroll subjects diagnosed with generalized pustular psoriasis (~10 subjects) or 
erythrodermic psoriasis (~10 subjects). Part B will only enroll subjects diagnosed with plaque 
psoriasis (~60 subjects). Part A enrollment will begin at the initiation of IM011066. Part B 
enrollment will begin only after the targeted number of Japanese subjects (~52 subjects) have been 
randomized into the IM011046 study. Part A enrollment may continue once Part B enrollment has 
begun.

General Methodology: 
As this is a single-arm study, no statistical tests for treatment comparisons will be conducted. All 
binary efficacy endpoints will be summarized using counts and percentages of subjects and all 
continuous efficacy endpoints will be summarized using descriptive statistics (n, mean, standard 
deviation, median, minimum, and maximum). Summaries will be provided for plaque psoriasis 
(including psoriatic arthritis), generalized pustular psoriasis, or erythrodermic psoriasis subjects 
separately.
 
Safety Analysis: 
Treatment-emergent AEs and SAEs will be summarized using counts and percentages of subjects 
experiencing the event as well as the number of events by system organ class, preferred term, and 
treatment group. Vital signs, clinical laboratory test results, and ECG test results will be 
summarized using descriptive statistics (n, mean, standard deviation, median, minimum, and 
maximum) for continuous variables and frequency distributions (counts and percentages) for 
categorical variables.

When multiple assessments are conducted at a single visit, the following is the order in which they should be done: 
1) Health outcomes assessments 
2) Safety assessments (eg, vitals, AEs) 
3) Clinical efficacy assessments 
4) Laboratory tests (eg, safety laboratory tests, 
) 
 
On fasting days, safety assessments can be done first followed by blood draws, and then health outcomes and finally efficacy assessments. The dose of the drug on a 
visit day is to be taken after blood draws.

INTRODUCTION 
Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder, characterized primarily by erythematous scaly 
plaques, that affects up to 3% of the general population. Men and women are equally affected and 
it can present at any age.2, 3 Several studies have observed a bimodal distribution of psoriasis onset 
with the first peak ranging from 15 to 22 years of age, and the second peak ranging from 55 to 60 
years of age.4-6 The most common form of psoriasis (58% to 97% of cases) is plaque psoriasis 
(psoriasis vulgaris), with less common forms being guttate, pustular, inverse (flexural), and 
erythrodermic psoriasis. The disease can have a fluctuating relapsing course, with flares that may 
be induced by factors such as infections, trauma, smoking, and stress4 Psoriasis can involve skin 
in any part of the body; particularly disabling is the involvement of specific anatomic regions, such 
as hands and feet (palmoplantar), face, scalp, and nails. Disease severity can be classified by body 
surface area (BSA) involvement with mild defined as ≤ 10% BSA, and moderate-to-severe as 
> 10% BSA.7 Psoriasis has a profound impact on quality of life and can lead to psychological, 
social and economic consequences, especially in moderate-to-severe disease. This condition is also 
associated with an increased risk of depression, occurrence of sleep disturbances, social stigma 
and decreased work productivity.8 Commonly associated comorbidities found in psoriasis patients 
include diabetes mellitus and metabolic syndrome. In patients with more severe forms of the 
disease, life expectancy is decreased due to an increase of cardiovascular risk.9 
Treatments include topical preparations, eg, corticosteroids, vitamin D analogs, calcineurin 
inhibitors, and salicylic acid; phototherapy modalities, including PUVA (psoralens with ultraviolet 
A) and narrow band ultraviolet B (UVB); and systemic therapies. In moderate-to-severe disease, 
systemic treatments are usually needed and may include oral agents (retinoids, methotrexate, 
cyclosporine, and apremilast) or injectables (eg, biologics such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF) 
inhibitors etanercept, infliximab, and adalimumab) anti- interleukin (IL)-12/23p40 antibody 
(ustekinumab), IL-17 antagonists (secukinumab, ixekizumab, brodalumab), and anti-IL-23p19 
antibody (guselkumab). Many of these treatments are associated with increased risk of AEs such 
as hepatotoxicity and neutropenia (methotrexate);10 nephrotoxicity (cyclosporine);11 depression 
and weight loss (apremilast);12 serious infections (cytokine inhibitors);13-16 candidiasis and 
Crohn’s disease (IL-17 antagonists).16-18 
Although effective therapeutic options are available, under-treatment or nontreatment of psoriasis 
has been reported in up to half of surveyed patients (based on absence of treatment and/or 
dissatisfaction with treatment).19 Many patients with severe disease are still being managed with 
only topicals therapies,5 and patients consider many of the treatments to be inadequate. 
Accordingly, there remains a need for more effective oral options, when compared with currently 
available agents, that would improve efficacy responses and increase adherence to treatment. 
2.1 
Study Rationale 
BMS-986165 is being evaluated as a therapeutic option for the treatment of subjects with 
moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis based on results of a recently completed 12-week randomized 
Phase 2, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study with 5 different BMS-986165 treatment arms: 
3 mg QOD; 3 mg QD; 3 mg BID; 6 mg BID; and 12 mg QD (Study IM011011). Overall,

267 subjects were randomized (44 to 45 subjects per treatment arm) in the Phase 2 study. All 
BMS-986165 treatment groups, except 3 mg QOD, achieved the primary endpoint of superiority 
compared with placebo in the proportion of subjects achieving at least a 75% improvement in the 
Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI 75) after 12 weeks of treatment. Compared with placebo 
treatment group, in which 6.7% of the subjects achieved PASI 75 response, 38.6% (P = 0.0003), 
68.9% (P < 0.0001), 66.7% (P < 0.0001) and 75% (P < 0.0001) of subjects treated with 3 mg QD, 
3 mg BID, 6 mg BID and 12 mg QD achieved PASI 75, respectively. The PASI 75 responses 
plateaued at a dose of 3 mg BID, and the Phase 3 dose selected (6 mg QD) is expected to 
demonstrate equivalent efficacy to the 3 mg BID dose. 
 
 Also, there was a clinically significant proportion 
of subjects treated with BMS-986165 achieving an sPGA score of 0 or 1 compared with placebo 
at Week 12. Compared with the placebo treatment group in which 6.7% of the subjects achieved 
an sPGA score of 0 or 1, 41.5%, 75.6%, 65.9%, and 75% of the subjects treated with 3 mg QD, 
3 mg BID, 6 mg BID and 12 mg QD achieved an sPGA score of 0 or 1, respectively.20 
This open-label study (IM011066) being conducted in Japan is a supplement to the global Phase 3 
study (IM011046) which is designed to confirm the efficacy and safety of BMS-986165 in a larger 
global population of subjects with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis. For approval, Japan 
requires safety data collected on approximately 100 subjects who receive BMS-986165. To 
achieve this number, this open-label study is expected to enroll approximately 80 Japanese subjects 
and the global study is expected to enroll approximately 52 Japanese subjects of which 
approximately 26 subjects will be dosed with BMS-986165 from Day 1.  
In addition to subjects with plaque psoriasis, subjects with erythrodermic psoriasis and generalized 
pustular psoriasis will be allowed to enter the open-label study to explore the safety and efficacy 
in those rare variants of psoriasis, for whom additional treatment options are limited. The open-
label study design allows subjects with erythrodermic psoriasis and generalized pustular psoriasis 
to receive active treatment during the entire duration of the study as it would be unethical to have 
those subjects with severe variants of psoriasis receive placebo. To ensure the safety of these 
subjects, certain concomitant medications will be allowed at the time points defined per protocol. 
2.2 
Background 
Tyrosine kinase 2 (TYK2) is a nonreceptor tyrosine kinase associated with receptors for the 
p40-containing cytokines IL-12 and IL-23, as well as the Type I interferon (IFN) receptor, and is 
required for the activation of downstream signaling pathways. TYK2 catalyzes the 
phosphorylation of the intracellular receptor domains and signal transducer and activator of 
transcription (STAT) proteins resulting in the activation of STAT-dependent transcription and 
functional responses specific for these cytokines.21-23 Because TYK2-dependent cytokines (eg, 
Type I IFNs, IL-12, IL-23) are distinct from those dependent on closely related Janus kinase (JAK) 
family members JAK1/JAK3 (eg, IL-2, IL-15, IL-7) or JAK2 (eg, erythropoietin, thrombopoietin, 
GM-CSF), a TYK2 Inhibitor would be expected to have a highly differentiated profile from 
inhibitors of other JAK family kinases. TYK2-dependent pathways and the cytokine networks they 
modulate (eg IL-23/IL-17, IFNα) have been implicated in the pathophysiology of multiple 
immune-mediated diseases, including psoriasis, lupus, spondyloarthritides, and Crohn’s disease.

BMS-986165 is a potent, highly selective, oral, small molecule-inhibitor of TYK2. A 
comprehensive in vitro and in vivo characterization of BMS-986165 has been established and 
supports the development of this compound in humans. Inhibition of TYK2 is expected to provide 
therapeutic benefit for subjects with psoriasis for multiple reasons: 1) Many of the pathways in the 
TYK2 signaling cascade (IFNα, IL-12/IL-23 and the downstream mediators IL-17 and IL-22) have 
been implicated in pathogenesis of psoriasis5 2) Biologic agents targeting the IL-17, IL-23p19, and 
IL-12/23 p40 pathways have been approved and are highly efficacious in the treatment of psoriasis. 
 
 
 
 
2.2.1 
Early Clinical Development 
The clinical data available to date supporting the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and 
pharmacodynamics (PD) of BMS-986165 are from 5 completed Phase 1 studies in healthy subjects 
(IM011002, 
IM011015, 
IM011016, 
IM011031, 
and 
IM011039) 
and 
1 completed  
Phase 2 study in adult subjects with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis (IM011011).  
Overall, BMS-986165 has been generally well-tolerated across all studies, and no safety issues 
have been identified to limit the investigation of the dose of BMS-986165 up to 12 mg QD in 
further clinical studies. A detailed description of the chemistry, pharmacology, efficacy, and safety 
of BMS-986165 is provided in the Investigator Brochure (IB).

STUDY DESIGN 
4.1 
Overall Design 
This will be a 52-week, multi-center, open-label, single-arm, Phase 3 study in approximately 
80 Japanese subjects with moderate-to-severe stable, plaque psoriasis, generalized pustular 
psoriasis, or erythrodermic psoriasis. 
The duration of study participation is approximately 60 weeks and will be divided into the 
following periods: screening (up to 4 weeks), treatment (52 weeks), and follow-up (4 weeks). 
Physical examinations, 12-lead ECGs, clinical laboratory evaluations, and other assessments will 
be done at select visits during the study. Subjects in this study will be monitored for AEs. 
 
 
 
Note: Enrollment into the study will be divided into 2 enrollment periods: Parts A and B. 
Part A will only enroll subjects diagnosed with generalized pustular psoriasis (~10 subjects) or 
erythrodermic psoriasis (~10 subjects). Part B will only enroll subjects diagnosed with plaque 
psoriasis (~60 subjects). Part A enrollment will begin at the initiation of IM011066. Part B 
enrollment will begin only after the targeted number of Japanese subjects (~52 subjects) have been 
randomized into the IM011046 study. Part A enrollment may continue once Part B enrollment has 
begun. 
4.1.1 
Screening Period 
Subjects will be evaluated during the screening period to ensure they meet eligibility criteria. A 
detailed medical history will be done at this time, as well as a complete physical examination. 
Psoriasis-related history, which will include length of diagnosis, body involvement, and history of 
systemic treatment, will be assessed here. Depression and suicidality assessments will also be 
performed. An evaluation for tuberculosis (TB) will be done based on medical history, recent chest 
imaging, and a QuantiFERON®-TB Gold test. 
Subjects with a medical history of psoriatic arthritis or who report symptoms of psoriatic arthritis 
with a PASE questionnaire score of ≥47, will undergo confirmation of their classification of 
psoriatic arthritis by the ClASsification criteria for Psoriatic ARthritis (CASPAR) criteria 
(APPENDIX 13) 
 
 
 
 It is preferable that a rheumatologist classify PsA by CASPAR criteria and perform joint 
assessments in a subject who has a history of psoriatic arthritis or who is presenting with symptoms 
suggestive of PsA. If assistance from a rheumatologist is not possible at the site, then a

dermatologist who is trained by a rheumatologist can classify a subject by CASPAR criteria as 
having PsA and perform the joint assessments for the subject in the study. 
If these assessments can’t be completed at Visit 1, subjects may return to complete these 
assessments at Visit 1A which must occur prior to the baseline visit (Visit 2).  
4.1.2 
Treatment Period 
Qualified subjects who have completed the screening procedures and have met the 
inclusion/exclusion criteria will be enrolled on Day 1 to receive BMS-985165 6 mg QD. 
Additional details are provided in Section 6.1. 
Enrollment should not occur until at least 8 days after the Screening Visit 
 
. 
4.1.3 
Week 16 
The primary endpoints (sPGA 0/1 and PASI 75) will be assessed at Week 16. 
4.1.4 
Week 24 
During the Week 24 assessment, a subject who has an 
 may be treated with 
restricted topicals/shampoos as described in Section 6.7.1 at the investigator’s discretion. These 
treatments may be only initiated at Week 24, and not at subsequent time points. A subject who is 
initiated on these treatments at Week 24 may use them as needed per the investigator’s judgment 
through Week 52. 
4.1.5 
Week 52 and Follow-up Period 
The follow-up period is a 4-week window after the Week 52 visit, unless the subject rolls over into 
the long-term extension study. The subject will be encouraged to report any SAEs or AEs 
experienced during this time. 
Subjects who discontinue study treatment early should remain in the study for protocol-specified 
procedures (please refer to Section 7.1 for more details). 
Subjects completing 52 weeks of treatment may be eligible to roll over to a long-term extension 
study and be treated with BMS-986165 6 mg QD.

the subjects achieving sPGA of 0/1 and PASI 75 at Week 16, which are standard measures of 
efficacy in clinical trials of psoriasis treatments.  
For approval in Japan, safety data collected from approximately 100 subjects dosed with 
BMS-986165 is needed. To achieve this: the IM011046 study is targeting to randomize 
approximately 52 Japanese subjects of which approximately 26 subjects will be dosed with BMS-
986165; the IM011066 study is targeting to enroll and dose approximately 80 Japanese subjects. 
In addition to subjects with plaque psoriasis, subjects with erythrodermic psoriasis and generalized 
pustular psoriasis will also be allowed to enter the open-label study to explore the safety and 
efficacy in those rare variants of psoriasis, for whom additional treatment options are limited. The

STUDY POPULATION 
Eligibility criteria for this study have been carefully considered to ensure 1) selection of 
appropriate subjects with psoriasis, 2) safety of the study subjects and 3) the results of the study 
can be used for regulatory filing and other purposes. It is imperative that subjects fully meet all

5.3 
Lifestyle Restrictions 
General skin care measures (with above restrictions for topical treatments) that are standard for 
subjects with plaque psoriasis are permitted. Subjects should avoid excessive sun exposure and 
avoid risks that are known to provoke flare of psoriasis. 
5.3.1 
Meals and Dietary Restrictions 
Study treatment may be taken without regard to meals; however, subjects are required to fast for a 
minimum of 10 hours before visits on which fasting lipid samples 
 
will be drawn. 
 
5.3.2 
Caffeine, Alcohol and Tobacco 
No restrictions are required; however extensive use of caffeine, alcohol, and tobacco should be 
avoided. 
5.3.3 
Activity 
No restrictions are required; however, unusual physical exertion should be avoided during the 
study. 
5.4 
Screen Failures 
Screen failures are defined as subjects who consent to participate in the clinical study but are not 
subsequently enrolled in the study for any reason. A minimal set of screen failure information is 
required to ensure transparent reporting of screen failure subjects, to meet the Consolidated 
Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) publishing requirements, and to respond to queries 
from regulatory authorities. Minimal set of screen failure information includes date of consent, 
demography, screen failure details (ie, eligibility criteria that the subject did not meet), and any 
SAEs during the Screening period. 
5.4.1 
Retesting During Screening or Rescreening 
For laboratory parameters that initially do not meet eligibility requirements, a single retest within 
the 28-day screening period is permitted before subject is declared a screen failure. This is an effort 
to find all possible well-qualified subjects. Consultation with the Medical Monitor may be needed 
to identify whether repeat testing of any particular parameter would be clinically relevant. 
The study permits the rescreening (after the end of the initial 28-day screening period) of a subject 
who discontinues the study as a pretreatment failure (ie, the subject fails to meet eligibility criteria 
and has not been treated). The subject must be reconsented, will be assigned a new identification 
number, and a full Screening Visit must be performed again. A subject can only be rescreened 1 
time (ie, if the subject fails 1 rescreening attempt, no additional rescreening is allowed). Depending 
on the timing of rescreening, repeat chest imaging may not be required. Duration of existing 
treatments and required discontinuation periods shall be considered relative to the new Screening 
Visit and/or enrollment. 
The most current result prior to enrollment is the value by which study inclusion will be assessed, 
as it represents the subject’s most current clinical state.

both 
Investigational 
[Medicinal] 
Product 
(IP/IMP) 
and 
Non-investigational [Medicinal] Product (Non-IP/Non-IMP) and can consist of the following: 
BMS-986165. 
An IP, also known as IMP in some regions, is defined as a pharmaceutical form of an active 
substance or placebo being tested or used as a reference in a clinical study, including products 
already with a marketing authorization but used or assembled (formulated or packaged) differently 
than the authorized form, or used for an unauthorized indication, or when used to gain further 
information about the authorized form. 
Other medications used as support or escape medication for preventative, diagnostic, or therapeutic 
reasons, as components of the standard of care for a given diagnosis, may be considered as 
noninvestigational products. Table 4 shows the study treatments for Protocol IM011066.

6.2 
Method of Treatment Assignment 
Before the study is initiated, each user (at investigative sites) will receive log-in information and 
directions on how to access the interactive response technology (IRT) system. At the time of the 
Screening Visit, immediately after informed consent is obtained and before any study-related 
procedures are performed, the investigative site will access the enrollment option of the IRT 
system for assignment of a subject number for all subjects including subjects not subsequently 
treated. The subject number is assigned sequentially by the system and will be unique across all 
sites. All enrolled subjects, including those not dosed, will be assigned sequential subject numbers. 
The subject number may not be used for any other subject. If a subject is rescreened, they will be 
given a new identification number. 
A kit will contain adequate study treatment for a 4-week supply. At subsequent visits, when new 
treatment kits need to be provided, the investigative site will access the IRT to obtain the kit 
number to assign to the subject. Study treatment will be dispensed at study visits as shown in the 
Schedule of Activities (Section 1.2). 
6.3 
Blinding 
This is an open-label study, blinding procedures are not applicable. 
6.4 
Dosage Modification 
There is no provision for dose modification of study treatment. If a subject interrupts treatment 
due to an AE, study treatment can be restarted in consultation with the Medical Monitor. 
6.5 
Preparation/Handling/Storage/Accountability 
The IP should be stored in a secure area according to local regulations. It is the responsibility of 
the investigator to ensure that IP is only dispensed to study subjects. The IP must be dispensed 
only from official study sites by authorized personnel according to local regulations. 
The product storage manager should ensure that the study treatment is stored in accordance with 
the environmental conditions (temperature, light, and humidity) as determined by BMS. If 
concerns regarding the quality or appearance of the study treatment arise, the study treatment 
should not be dispensed and BMS should be contacted immediately. 
Investigational product documentation (whether supplied by BMS or not) must be maintained, that 
includes all processes required to ensure drug is accurately administered. This includes 
documentation of drug storage, administration and, as applicable, storage temperatures, 
reconstitution, and use of required processes (eg, required diluents, administration sets). 
Guidance and information for final disposition of unused study treatment are provided in

Treatment Compliance 
Study treatment compliance will be periodically monitored using standard drug accountability 
procedures (comparing the number of tablets returned to number dispensed, considering the 
expected regimen and any reported missed doses). Drug accountability will be reviewed by the 
investigative site staff at each visit to confirm treatment compliance. Site staff will discuss any 
discrepancies with the subject and remind the subject of the importance of compliance with the 
assigned regimen. A real-time monitoring platform may be used.

DISCONTINUATION CRITERIA 
7.1 
Discontinuation from Study Treatment 
Subjects MUST discontinue IP (and non-IP at the discretion of the investigator) for any of the 
following reasons: 
x Subject requests to stop study treatment. Subjects who discontinue study treatment early 
should remain in the study for protocol-specified procedures. The only exception to this is 
when a subject specifically withdraws consent for any further contact with him/her or 
persons previously authorized by subject to provide this information. 
x Any clinically significant AE, laboratory abnormality, or intercurrent illness which, in the 
opinion of the investigator, indicates that continued participation in the study is not in the 
best interest of the subject. If treatment is discontinued due to an AE, the AE eCRF must 
be completed to show that the AE caused discontinuation.

and described in Section 4.1.  
x Protocol waivers or exemptions are not allowed. 
x All significant safety concerns must be discussed with the Medical Monitor immediately 
upon occurrence or awareness to determine if the subject should continue or discontinue 
treatment. 
x Adherence to the study design requirements, including those specified in the Schedule of 
Activities (Section 1.2), is essential and required for study conduct. 
x All screening evaluations must be completed and reviewed to confirm that potential 
subjects meet all eligibility criteria before enrollment. Enrollment should not occur until at 
least 8 days after the Screening Visit 
 
. The investigator will maintain a screening log to 
record details of all subjects screened and to confirm eligibility or record reasons for 
screening failure, as applicable. 
x Procedures conducted as part of the subject’s routine clinical management (eg, blood 
count) and obtained before signing of informed consent may be utilized for screening or 
baseline purposes provided the procedure meets the protocol-defined criteria and has been 
performed within the timeframe defined in the Schedule of Activities (Section 1.2). 
x For several assessments, appropriate training will be provided to investigators and 
designated personnel at sites. Only those individuals trained and certified to perform these 
assessments will be performing them during the study.

Efficacy Assessments 
Every effort must be made to ensure that the same evaluator(s) complete the 
investigator-administered assessments for each subject at each visit. If the evaluator(s) is unable 
to complete the evaluation, then a qualified individual with overlapping experience may perform 
the evaluation. Documentation of who performed the evaluation is to be recorded in source

Baseline assessments must be performed per protocol. Procedures not specified in the protocol that 
are part of standard care may be performed if they do not interfere with study procedures; any data 
arising from such procedures are not to be reported in the eCRF. 
8.1.1 
Investigator-administered Assessments 
8.1.1.1 
static Physician Global Assessment (sPGA) 
The sPGA is a 5-point scale of an average assessment of all psoriatic lesions based on erythema, 
scale, and induration.25 The sPGA measure determines psoriasis severity at a single point in time 
(without taking into account the baseline disease condition) as clear (0), almost clear (1), mild (2), 
moderate (3), or severe (4). sPGA assessments should be performed by a trained physician (eg, 
dermatologist) or appropriately trained investigator who is experienced in the assessment of 
psoriasis patients. Every effort should be made to ensure that the physician or designee who 
performed the sPGA evaluations for a subject at enrollment performs the sPGA for that subject at 
all subsequent visits (see APPENDIX 5). 
8.1.1.2 
Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) 
The PASI is a measure of the average redness, thickness, and scaliness of psoriatic skin lesions 
(each graded on a 0 to 4 scale), weighted by the area of involvement (head, arms, trunk to groin, 
and legs to top of buttocks).26 The PASI produces a numeric score that can range from 0 to 72, 
with higher PASI scores denoting more severe disease activity. The PASI can also be used to 
assess response to treatment. The PASI 50 is the proportion of subjects who experience at least a 
50% improvement in PASI score as compared with the baseline value. The PASI 75
 
 are defined similarly. BMS will host a training session prior to initiation of the study to 
demonstrate proper PASI scoring. All PASI assessments should be performed by a trained 
physician (dermatologist) or appropriately trained investigator who is experienced in the 
assessment of psoriasis patients (see APPENDIX 6).  
8.1.1.3 
Body Surface Area (BSA) 
Measurement of psoriasis BSA involvement is estimated using the handprint method with the size 
of a subject’s handprint (including fingers and thumb) representing 1% of BSA involved.27-29 The 
total BSA = 100% with breakdown by body region as follows: head and neck = 10% 
(10 handprints), upper extremities = 20% (20 handprints), trunk including axillae and groin = 30% 
(30 handprints), lower extremities including buttocks = 40% (40 handprints). BSA assessments 
should be performed by a dermatologist or appropriately trained investigator who is experienced 
in the assessment of psoriasis patients.

8.1.2.6 
Psoriatic Arthritis Screening and Evaluation (PASE) Questionnaire 
The PASE questionnaire will be administered at screening in subjects with psoriatic arthritis type 
complaints. The PASE questionnaire is a self-administered tool that is used to screen for psoriatic 
arthritis among subjects who have psoriasis. The PASE questionnaire consists of 15 questions 
subdivided into 7 questions focusing on symptoms of psoriatic arthritis, and 8 questions focusing 
on the impact of psoriatic arthritis on function. Each question is scored on a 1 to 5 scale, with a 
maximum score of 75. A score of 47 or above has been shown to distinguish between psoriatic 
arthritis and non-psoriatic arthritis.44 This questionnaire is only intended to be a screening tool for 
psoriatic arthritis and does not replace a comprehensive musculoskeletal exam performed by a 
rheumatologist. The PASE questionnaire should take 6 to 10 minutes to complete and is only done 
at Screening (See APPENDIX 23). 
8.2 
Adverse Events 
The definitions of an AE or SAE can be found in APPENDIX 3. 
AEs will be reported by the subject (or, when appropriate, by a caregiver, surrogate, or the subject’s 
legally authorized representative).  
The investigator and any designees are responsible for detecting, documenting, and reporting 
events that meet the definition of an AE or SAE and remain responsible for following up AEs that 
are serious, considered related to the study treatment or the study, or that caused the subject to 
discontinue before completing the study.  
Contacts for SAE reporting are specified in APPENDIX 3. 
8.2.1 
Adverse Events of Interest 
Adverse events of interest (AEIs) are AEs for a particular product or class of products that a 
Sponsor may wish to monitor carefully. Adverse events of interest may be serious or non-serious. 
Such events may require further investigation to better characterize and understand them. In the 
BMS-986165 clinical development program, certain skin-related AEs (eg, acne), infection AEs,

and CK elevation have been identified as potential AEIs; however, there has been no definitive 
assessment on the causal relationship between these events and treatment with BMS-986165. 
Additionally, given a potential association between treatment for autoimmune diseases and 
increased risk for cancer, malignancy has been identified as a potential AEI. Suicidal 
ideation/behavior and an increased risk of cardiovascular disease may also be prevalent in patients 
with psoriasis. Therefore, additional information about certain skin-related AEs, infection AEs, 
CK elevation, suicidal ideation/behavior, cardiovascular events, and malignancy may be collected 
on the CRF in order to better characterize and understand them. 
8.2.2 
Time Period and Frequency for Collecting AE and SAE Information 
The collection of non-serious AE information should begin at initiation of study treatment until 
discharge from the study (ie, final study visit for a given subject) , at the timepoints specified in 
the Schedule of Activities (Section 1.2).  
The Reference Safety Information in sections 5.6.1 and 5.6.2 of the IB should be used to determine 
expectedness of SAEs for expedited reporting. Following the subject’s written consent to 
participate in the study, all SAEs, whether related or not related to study drug, must be collected, 
including those thought to be associated with protocol-specified procedures. 
All SAEs must be collected from the date of subject’s written consent until 30 days after the final 
dose of the study drug or subject’s participation in the study if the last scheduled visit occurs at a 
later time. Monitoring for SAEs will occur at every study visit.  
x The investigator must report any SAE that occurs after these time periods and that is 
believed to be related to study drug or protocol-specified procedure. Medical occurrences 
that begin before the start of study treatment but after obtaining informed consent will be 
recorded on the appropriate section of the CRF. 
x All SAEs will be recorded and reported to Sponsor or designee within 24 hours, as 
indicated in APPENDIX 3.  
x The investigator will submit any updated SAE data to the Sponsor within 24 hours of this 
being available. 
Investigators are not obligated to actively seek AEs or SAEs in former study subjects. However, 
if the investigator learns of any SAE, including a death, at any time after a subject has been 
discharged from the study, and he/she considers the event reasonably related to the study treatment 
or study participation, the investigator must promptly notify the Sponsor. 
The method of evaluating and assessing causality of AEs and SAEs and the procedures for 
completing and reporting/transmitting SAE reports are provided in APPENDIX 3. 
8.2.3 
Method of Detecting AEs and SAEs 
Adverse events can be spontaneously reported or elicited during open-ended questioning, 
examination, or evaluation of a subject. (In order to prevent reporting bias, subjects should not be 
questioned regarding the specific occurrence of one or more AEs.)

8.2.4 
Follow-up of AEs and SAEs 
x Non-serious AEs should be followed to resolution or stabilization, or reported as SAEs if 
they become serious (see APPENDIX 3). 
x Follow-up is also required for non-serious AEs that cause interruption or discontinuation 
of study treatment and for those present at the end of study treatment as appropriate. 
x All identified non-serious AEs must be recorded and described on the non-serious AE page 
of the CRF. Completion of supplemental CRFs may be requested for AEs and/or laboratory 
abnormalities that are reported/identified during the course of the study. 
After the initial AE/SAE report, the investigator is required to proactively follow each subject at 
subsequent visits/contacts. All SAEs will be followed until resolution, until the condition 
stabilizes, until the event is otherwise explained, or until the subject is lost to follow-up (as defined 
in Section 7.3). 
Further information on follow-up procedures is given in APPENDIX 3. 
8.2.5 
Regulatory Reporting Requirements for SAEs 
x Prompt notification by the investigator to the Sponsor of SAEs is essential so that legal 
obligations and ethical responsibilities toward the safety of subjects and the safety of a 
product under clinical investigation are met. 
x An investigator who receives an investigator safety report describing SAEs or other 
specific safety information (eg, summary or listing of SAEs) from the Sponsor will file it 
along with the IB and will notify the IRB/IEC, if appropriate according to local 
requirements. 
Sponsor or designee will be reporting AEs to regulatory authorities and ethics committees 
according to local applicable laws including European Directive 2001/20/EC and Food and Drug 
Administration (FDA) Code of Federal Regulations 21 CFR Parts 312 and 320. A SUSAR 
(Suspected, Unexpected Serious Adverse Reaction) is a subset of SAEs and will be reported to the 
appropriate regulatory authorities and investigators following local and global guidelines and 
requirements. 
8.2.6 
Pregnancy 
In the event a subject becomes pregnant during the trial, the study treatment must be discontinued 
immediately. If the subject becomes pregnant while on treatment or within 3 days of discontinuing 
study treatment, the investigator must immediately notify 
 Drug Safety of this event and 
complete and forward a Pregnancy Surveillance Form to 
 Drug Safety within 24 hours of 
awareness of the event and in accordance with SAE reporting procedures described in APPENDIX 
3. The investigator must also notify the Medical Monitor or designee of this event within 24 hours 
of awareness of pregnancy.  
The pregnant subject will need to be followed up until the conclusion of the pregnancy for 
pregnancy outcomes. The safety data of the subject will continue to be collected under the same 
rules as instructed in Section 7.1.

Any pregnancy that occurs in a female partner of a male study subject should be reported to 
 
Drug Safety. In order for Sponsor or designee to collect any pregnancy surveillance information 
from the female partner, the female partner must sign an ICF for disclosure of this information. 
Information on this pregnancy will be collected on the Pregnancy Surveillance Form. 
8.2.7 
Laboratory Test Result Abnormalities 
The following laboratory test result abnormalities should be captured on the AE eCRF page. 
x Any laboratory test result that is clinically significant or meets the definition of an AE or 
SAE  
x Any laboratory test result abnormality that required the subject to have study treatment 
discontinued or interrupted 
x Any laboratory test result abnormality that required the subject to receive specific 
corrective therapy 
If a laboratory test result meets the definition of an AE or SAE, the laboratory test result should be 
reported as an AE or SAE and submitted to 
 Drug Safety, as specified in APPENDIX 3.  
It is expected that wherever possible, the clinical rather than laboratory term would be used by the 
reporting investigator (eg, anemia versus low hemoglobin value). 
8.2.8 
Potential Drug-Induced Liver Injury (DILI) 
All occurrences of potential DILIs, meeting the defined criteria, must be reported as SAEs (see 
Section 8.2 and APPENDIX 3 for reporting details). Wherever possible, timely confirmation of 
initial liver-related laboratory abnormalities should occur prior to the reporting of a potential DILI 
event. 
Potential DILI is defined as:  
1) ALT or AST elevation > 3 times ULN 
AND 
2) Total bilirubin > 2 times ULN, without initial findings of cholestasis (elevated serum alkaline 
phosphatase), 
AND 
3) No other immediately apparent possible causes of liver function test elevation and 
hyperbilirubinemia, including, but not limited to, viral hepatitis, preexisting chronic or acute liver 
disease, or the administration of other drug(s) known to be hepatotoxic. 
8.2.9 
Other Safety Considerations 
Any significant worsening of a preexisting medical condition noted during interim or final physical 
examinations, ECG, x-ray filming, any other potential safety assessment required or not required 
by protocol should also be recorded as a non-serious or serious AE, as appropriate, and reported 
accordingly.

A 12-lead ECG will be performed at the visits indicated in the Schedule of Activities (Section 1.2). 
The subject will remain supine for 5 to 10 minutes prior to the ECG, and must have their lab work 
done after the tracing so that the ECG results remain as accurate as possible. The ECG results will 
be read by the primary study investigator or a designee. 
8.4.4 
Tuberculosis Screening and Chest Imaging 
Chest imaging results and PE are part of the process to assess a subject’s eligibility, as outlined in 
Section 1.2 and as defined in exclusion criterion 3.c). Chest imaging (eg, chest x-ray, chest CT 
scan) at the Screening Visit is required if not already performed and documented within 6 months 
of obtaining written informed consent. A subject must not have active signs or symptoms of TB, 
as judged by the investigator, to be eligible for the study. 
In addition to a complete PE and medical history to evaluate exposure to TB, all subjects will 
have a screening test, an IGRA (eg, QuantiFERON®-TB Gold) performed centrally. If unable to 
obtain central laboratory results, an IGRA test could be obtained locally, after consultation with 
the 
 Medical Monitor. A subject with an indeterminate IGRA test result must be 
retested for confirmation. If the second result is again indeterminate, the subject will be 
excluded from the study. If the second result is positive, the subject should be considered as 
having LTBI provided there are no signs or symptoms of active TB. If the second result is 
negative, the subject may be eligible provided no other exclusion criterion for TB is met.

**Testing for HBV DNA will occur every 4 weeks for subjects who are negative HBsAg but positive HBsAb and/or 
positive HBcAb with Hepatitis B virus DNA <2.1 log copies/mL [20IU/mL] at screening. 
8.4.5.1 
Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) 
Glomerular filtration rate will be estimated using the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease 
(MDRD) equation at screening. 
The MDRD equation is as follows:45 
 
eGFR = 175 × standardized SCr−1.154 × age−0.203 × 1.212 [if black] or 0.742 [if female] 
Note: GFR is expressed as mL/min/1.73 m2 of body surface area and SCr (serum creatinine) is expressed in mg/dL. 
Subjects with an eGFR <45 mL/min will be excluded from participation 
8.4.6 
Depression Monitoring 
Depression will be monitored by administration of the eight-item Patient Health Questionnaire 
(PHQ-8) at Screening and during visits as outlined in Section 1.2. 
8.4.6.1 
Eight-Item Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-8) 
The PHQ-8 is established as a valid diagnostic and severity measure for depressive disorders in 
large clinical studies.46 Each of the 8 questions is based on a 2-week recall and scored on a scale 
of 0 to 3 by a tick box as: Not at All, Several Days, More than Half the Days, and Nearly Every 
Day. A score of ≥10 is suggestive of moderate depressive symptoms (APPENDIX 24).47 If a 
subject scores ≥ 15 on the PHQ-8 during the study, the investigator will review the situation and 
refer the subject to a mental health professional if deemed necessary. 
8.4.7 
Suicidal Ideation and Behavior Monitoring 
Subjects in this clinical trial will be monitored for SIB by the eC-SSRS (Section 8.4.7.1) at the 
visits outlined in the Schedule of Activities (Section 1.2). Subjects who answer yes to questions 4 
or 5 which indicates a suicidal ideation severity level of 4 or 5 or document suicidal behavior or 
suicidal attempts on the eC-SSRS will have their treatments discontinued and be immediately 
referred to a mental health professional for further evaluation. In addition, family members or 
caregivers of the subjects will be instructed to immediately report any suicidal ideation, suicidal 
behavior, or suicide attempt to the investigator. 
8.4.7.1 
electronic Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (eC-SSRS) 
The eC-SSRS is a computer-automated, patient reported version of the C-SSRS instrument that 
defines 11 categories of SIB events.48-50 The categories are as follows: 
x Suicidal ideation 
1. Passive 
2. Active: Nonspecific (no method, intent, or plan) 
3. Active: Method, but no intent or plan 
4. Active: Method and intent, but no plan 
5. Active: Method, intent, and plan 
x Suicidal behavior

APPENDIX 2 
STUDY GOVERNANCE CONSIDERATIONS 
Regulatory and Ethical Considerations 
Good Clinical Practice 
This study will be conducted in accordance with: 
x Good Clinical Practice (GCP) 
x as defined by the International Council on Harmonisation (ICH) 
x in accordance with the ethical principles underlying European Union Directive 2001/20/EC 
x United States Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Part 50 (21CFR50)  
x applicable local requirements. 
The study will be conducted in compliance with the protocol. The protocol and any amendments 
and the subject informed consent will receive approval/favorable opinion by Institutional Review 
Board/Independent Ethics Committee (IRB/IEC), and regulatory authorities according to 
applicable local regulations prior to initiation of the study. 
All potential serious breaches must be reported to Sponsor or designee immediately. A serious 
breach is a breach of the conditions and principles of GCP in connection with the study or the 
protocol, which is likely to affect, to a significant degree, the safety or physical or mental integrity 
of the subjects of the study or the scientific value of the study. 
Personnel involved in conducting this study will be qualified by education, training, and 
experience to perform their respective tasks. 
This study will not use the services of study personnel where sanctions have been invoked or where 
there has been scientific misconduct or fraud (eg, loss of medical licensure, debarment).  
Institutional Review Board/Independent Ethics Committee 
Before study initiation, the investigator must have written and dated approval/favorable opinion 
from the IRB/IEC for the protocol, consent form, subject recruitment materials 
(eg, advertisements), and any other written information to be provided to subjects. The investigator 
or BMS should also provide the IRB/IEC with a copy of the Investigator Brochure or product 
labeling information to be provided to subjects and any updates.  
The investigator, Sponsor or designee should provide the IRB/IEC with reports, updates and other 
information (eg, expedited safety reports, amendments, and administrative letters) according to 
regulatory requirements or institution procedures. 
Compliance with the Protocol and Protocol Revisions 
The investigator should not implement any deviation or change to the protocol without prior 
review and documented approval/favorable opinion of an amendment from the IRB/IEC (and if 
applicable, also by local health authority) except where necessary to eliminate an immediate 
hazard(s) to study subjects.

89 
If a deviation or change to a protocol is implemented to eliminate an immediate hazard(s) prior to 
obtaining relevant approval/favorable opinion(s) the deviation or change will be submitted, as soon 
as possible to: 
x IRB/IEC for  
x Regulatory Authority(ies), if applicable by local regulations (per national requirements) 
Documentation of approval/favorable opinion signed by the chairperson or designee of the 
IRB(s)/IEC(s) and if applicable, also by local health authority must be sent to BMS. 
If an amendment substantially alters the study design or increases the potential risk to the subject: 
(1) the consent form must be revised and submitted to the IRB(s)/IEC(s) for review and 
approval/favorable opinion; (2) the revised form must be used to obtain consent from subjects 
currently enrolled in the study if they are affected by the amendment; and (3) the new form must 
be used to obtain consent from new subjects prior to enrollment. 
If the revision is done via an administrative letter, investigators must inform their IRB(s)/IEC(s). 
Financial Disclosure 
Investigators and sub-investigators will provide the Sponsor with sufficient, accurate financial 
information in accordance with local regulations to allow the Sponsor to submit complete and 
accurate financial certification or disclosure statements to the appropriate health authorities. 
Investigators are responsible for providing information on financial interests during the course of 
the study and for 1 year after completion of the study. 
Informed Consent Process 
Investigators must ensure that subjects are clearly and fully informed about the purpose, potential 
risks, and other critical issues regarding clinical studies in which they volunteer to participate.  
In situations where consent cannot be given to subjects, their legally acceptable representatives (as 
per country guidelines) are clearly and fully informed about the purpose, potential risks, and other 
critical issues regarding clinical studies in which the subject volunteers to participate.  
Sponsor or designee will provide the investigator with an appropriate (ie, Global or Local) sample 
informed consent form which will include all elements required by ICH, GCP, and applicable 
regulatory requirements. The sample informed consent form will adhere to the ethical principles 
that have their origin in the Declaration of Helsinki. 
Investigators must: 
x Provide a copy of the consent form and written information about the study in the language in 
which the subject is most proficient prior to clinical study participation. The language must be 
non-technical and easily understood.  
x Allow time necessary for subject or subject's legally acceptable representative to inquire about 
the details of the study.

x Obtain an informed consent signed and personally dated by the subject or the subject's legally 
acceptable representative and by the person who conducted the informed consent discussion.  
x Obtain the IRB/IEC’s written approval/favorable opinion of the written informed consent form 
and any other information to be provided to the subjects, prior to the beginning of the study, 
and after any revisions are completed for new information. 
If informed consent is initially given by a subject’s legally acceptable representative or legal 
guardian, and the subject subsequently becomes capable of making and communicating his or her 
informed consent during the study, consent must additionally be obtained from the subject. 
Revise the informed consent whenever important new information becomes available that is 
relevant to the subject's consent. The investigator, or a person designated by the investigator, 
should fully inform the subject or the subject's legally acceptable representative or legal guardian, 
of all pertinent aspects of the study and of any new information relevant to the subject's willingness 
to continue participation in the study. This communication should be documented.  
The confidentiality of records that could identify subjects must be protected, respecting the privacy 
and confidentiality rules applicable to regulatory requirements, the subjects' signed ICF and, in the 
US, the subjects’ signed HIPAA Authorization. 
The consent form must also include a statement that BMS and regulatory authorities have direct 
access to subject records. 
For minors, according to local legislation, one or both parents or a legally acceptable representative 
must be informed of the study procedures and must sign the informed consent form approved for 
the study prior to clinical study participation. The explicit wish of a minor, who is capable of 
forming an opinion and assessing this information to refuse participation in, or to be withdrawn 
from, the clinical study at any time should be considered by the investigator.  
Minors who are judged to be of an age of reason must also give their written assent. 
Subjects unable to give their written consent (eg, stroke or subjects with or severe dementia) may 
only be enrolled in the study with the consent of a legally acceptable representative. The subject 
must also be informed about the nature of the study to the extent compatible with his or her 
understanding, and should this subject become capable, he or she should personally sign and date 
the consent form as soon as possible. The explicit wish of a subject who is unable to give his or 
her written consent, but who is capable of forming an opinion and assessing information to refuse 
participation in, or to be withdrawn from, the clinical study at any time should be considered by 
the investigator. 
The rights, safety, and well-being of the study subjects are the most important considerations and 
should prevail over interests of science and society. 
Source Documents 
The investigator is responsible for ensuring that the source data are accurate, legible, 
contemporaneous, original, and attributable, whether the data are hand-written on paper or entered 
electronically. If source data are created (first entered), modified, maintained, archived, retrieved,

devices) as part of regulated clinical trial activities, such systems must be compliant with all 
applicable laws and regulations governing use of electronic records and/or electronic signatures. 
Such systems may include, but are not limited to, electronic medical/health records (EMRs/EHRs), 
adverse event tracking/reporting, protocol required assessments, and/or drug accountability 
records). 
When paper records from such systems are used in place of electronic format to perform regulated 
activities, such paper records should be certified copies. A certified copy consists of a copy of 
original information that has been verified, as indicated by a dated signature, as an exact copy 
having all of the same attributes and information as the original.  
Study Treatment Records 
Records for study treatments (whether supplied by BMS, its vendors, or the site) must substantiate 
study treatment integrity and traceability from receipt, preparation, administration, and through

Case Report Forms 
An investigator is required to prepare and maintain adequate and accurate case histories designed 
to record all observations and other data pertinent to the investigation on each individual treated 
or entered as a control in the investigation. Data that are derived from source documents and 
reported on the CRF must be consistent with the source documents or the discrepancies must be 
explained. Additional clinical information may be collected and analyzed in an effort to enhance 
understanding of product safety. CRFs may be requested for AEs and/or laboratory abnormalities 
that are reported or identified during the course of the study. 
For sites using the Sponsor or designee electronic data capture tool, electronic CRFs will be 
prepared for all data collection fields except for fields specific to SAEs and pregnancy, which will 
be reported on the electronic SAE form and paper Pregnancy Surveillance Form, respectively. If 
electronic SAE form is not available, a paper SAE form can be used. 
The confidentiality of records that could identify subjects must be protected, respecting the privacy 
and confidentiality rules in accordance with the applicable regulatory requirement(s). 
The investigator will maintain a signature sheet to document signatures and initials of all persons 
authorized to make entries and/or corrections on CRFs.

The completed CRF, SAE/pregnancy CRFs, must be promptly reviewed, signed, and dated by the 
investigator or qualified physician who is a subinvestigator and who is delegated this task on the 
Delegation of Authority Form. Sub-investigators in Japan may not be delegated the CRF approval 
task. For electronic CRFs, review and approval/signature is completed electronically through the 
electronic data capture tool. The investigator must retain a copy of the CRFs including records of 
the changes and corrections. 
Each individual electronically signing electronic CRFs must meet Sponsor or designee training 
requirements and must only access the electronic data capture tool using the unique user account 
provided by Sponsor or designee. User accounts are not to be shared or reassigned to other 
individuals 
Monitoring 
Sponsor or designee representatives will review data centrally to identify potential issues to 
determine a schedule of on-site visits for targeted review of study records.  
Representatives of BMS must be allowed to visit all study site locations periodically to assess the 
data quality and study integrity. On site they will review study records and directly compare them 
with source documents, discuss the conduct of the study with the investigator, and verify that the 
facilities remain acceptable. Certain CRF pages and/or electronic files may serve as the source 
documents. 
In addition, the study may be evaluated by Sponsor or designee internal auditors and government 
inspectors who must be allowed access to CRFs, source documents, other study files, and study 
facilities. BMS audit reports will be kept confidential. 
The investigator must notify BMS promptly of any inspections scheduled by regulatory authorities, 
and promptly forward copies of inspection reports to Sponsor or designee.  
Records Retention 
The investigator (or head of the study site in Japan) must retain all study records and source 
documents for the maximum period required by applicable regulations and guidelines, or 
institution procedures, or for the period specified by BMS or designee, whichever is longer. The 
investigator (or head of the study site in Japan) must contact BMS prior to destroying any records 
associated with the study. 
BMS or designee will notify the investigator (or head of the study site in Japan) when the study 
records are no longer needed. 
If the investigator withdraws from the study (eg, relocation, retirement), the records shall be 
transferred to a mutually agreed upon designee (eg, another investigator, study site, IRB). Notice 
of such transfer will be given in writing to BMS or designee.

APPENDIX 3 
ADVERSE EVENTS AND SERIOUS ADVERSE EVENTS: 
DEFINITIONS AND PROCEDURES FOR RECORDING, 
EVALUATING, FOLLOW-UP AND REPORTING 
Adverse Events 
Adverse Event Definition: 
An adverse event (AE) is defined as any new untoward medical occurrence or worsening of a 
preexisting medical condition in a clinical investigation participant administered study drug 
and that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment.  
An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (such as an abnormal laboratory 
finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of study drug, whether or not 
considered related to the study drug. 
Events Meeting the AE Definition 
x Any abnormal laboratory test results (hematology, clinical chemistry, or urinalysis) or 
results from other safety assessments (eg, ECG, radiological scans, vital signs 
measurements), including those that worsen from baseline, considered clinically 
significant in the medical and scientific judgment of the investigator. Note that 
abnormal lab tests or other safety assessments should only be reported as AEs if the 
final diagnosis is not available. Once the final diagnosis is known, the reported term 
should be updated to be the diagnosis.  
x Exacerbation of a chronic or intermittent preexisting condition including either an 
increase in frequency and/or intensity of the condition. 
x New conditions detected or diagnosed after study intervention administration even 
though it may have been present before the start of the study. 
x Signs, symptoms, or the clinical sequelae of a suspected drug-drug interaction. 
x Signs, symptoms, or the clinical sequelae of a suspected overdose of either study 
intervention or a concomitant medication. Overdose, as a verbatim term (as reported by 
the investigator), should not be reported as an AE/SAE unless it is an intentional 
overdose taken with possible suicidal/self-harming intent. Such overdoses should be 
reported regardless of sequelae and should specify "intentional overdose" as the 
verbatim term. 
Events NOT Meeting the AE Definition 
x Medical or surgical procedure (eg, endoscopy, appendectomy): the condition that leads 
to the procedure is the AE. 
x Situations in which an untoward medical occurrence did not occur (social and/or 
convenience admission to a hospital). 
DEFINITION OF SAE 
If an event is not an AE per definition above, then it cannot be an SAE even if serious conditions 
are met.

97 
SERIOUS ADVERSE EVENTS 
Serious Adverse Event Definition: Any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose: 
Results in death 
Is life-threatening (defined as an event in which the participant was at risk of death at the time 
of the event; it does not refer to an event which hypothetically might have caused death if it 
were more severe) 
Requires inpatient hospitalization or causes prolongation of existing hospitalization (see note 
below) 
Note: The following hospitalizations are not considered SAEs in BMS clinical studies:  
x a visit to the emergency room or other hospital department < 24 hours, that does not 
result in admission (unless considered an important medical or life-threatening event) 
x elective surgery, planned prior to signing consent 
x admissions as per protocol for a planned medical/surgical procedure 
x routine health assessment requiring admission for baseline/trending of health status 
(eg, routine colonoscopy) 
x medical/surgical admission other than to remedy ill health and planned prior to entry 
into the study. Appropriate documentation is required in these cases. 
x admission encountered for another life circumstance that carries no bearing on health 
status and requires no medical/surgical intervention (eg, lack of housing, economic 
inadequacy, caregiver respite, family circumstances, administrative reason) 
x 
admission for administration of anticancer therapy in the absence of any other SAEs 
(applies to oncology protocols) 
Results in persistent or significant disability or permanent damage 
Is a congenital anomaly/birth defect 
Is an important medical event (defined as a medical event(s) that may not be immediately life-
threatening or result in death or hospitalization but, based upon appropriate medical and 
scientific judgment, may jeopardize the participant or may require intervention [eg, medical, 
surgical] to prevent one of the other serious outcomes listed in the definition above). Examples 
of such events include, but are not limited to, intensive treatment in an emergency room or at 
home for allergic bronchospasm; blood dyscrasias or convulsions that do not result in 
hospitalization. Potential drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is also considered an important 
medical event (see Section 8.2.8 for the definition of potential DILI).  
 
Pregnancy and potential DILI must follow the same transmission timing and processes to BMS as 
used for SAEs (see Section 8.2.5 for reporting pregnancies).

EVALUATING AES AND SAES 
Assessment of Intensity 
The intensity of AEs is determined by a physician and will use the following levels: 
x Mild: An event that is easily tolerated by the subject, causing minimal discomfort, 
and not interfering with everyday activities. 
x Moderate: An event that causes sufficient discomfort and interferes with normal 
everyday activities. 
x 
Severe: An event that prevents normal everyday activities. An AE that is assessed 
as severe should not be confused with an SAE. Severe is a category utilized for 
rating the intensity of an event; and both AEs and SAEs can be assessed as severe. 
Assessment of Causality 
x The investigator is obligated to assess the relationship between study intervention 
and each occurrence of each AE/SAE. A “reasonable possibility of a relationship” 
conveys that there are facts, evidences, and/or arguments to suggest a causal 
relationship rather than a relationship cannot be ruled out.  
x The investigator will use clinical judgment to determine the relationship. 
x Alternative causes, such as underlying disease(s), concomitant therapy, and other 
risk factors, as well as the temporal relationship of the event to study intervention 
administration will be considered and investigated. 
x The investigator will also consult the Investigator’s Brochure (IB) and/or Product 
Information, for marketed products, in his/her assessment. 
x For each AE/SAE, the investigator must document in the medical notes that 
he/she has reviewed the AE/SAE and has provided an assessment of causality. 
x There may be situations in which an SAE has occurred and the investigator has 
minimal information to include in the initial report to Sponsor. However, it is very 
important that the investigator always make an assessment of causality for every 
event before the initial transmission of the SAE data to Sponsor. 
x The investigator may change his/her opinion of causality in light of follow-up 
information and send a SAE follow-up report with the updated causality 
assessment. 
x 
The causality assessment is one of the criteria used when determining regulatory 
reporting requirements.

APPENDIX 4 
WOMEN OF CHILDBEARING POTENTIAL DEFINITIONS AND 
METHODS OF CONTRACEPTION 
DEFINITIONS 
Woman of Childbearing Potential (WOCBP) 
A woman is considered fertile following menarche and until becoming postmenopausal unless 
permanently sterile. Permanent sterilization methods include hysterectomy, bilateral 
salpingectomy, and bilateral oophorectomy. 
Women in the following categories are not considered WOCBP 
x Premenarchal 
x Premenopausal female with 1 of the following: 
 Documented hysterectomy 
 Documented bilateral salpingectomy 
 Documented bilateral oophorectomy 
 
Note: Documentation can come from the site personnel’s review of the subject’s medical records, 
medical examination, or medical history interview. 
x Postmenopausal female 
 A postmenopausal state is defined as 12 months of amenorrhea in a woman over age 
45 years in the absence of other biological or physiological causes. In addition, females 
under the age of 55 years must have a serum follicle-stimulating hormone, (FSH) level 
> 40 mIU/mL to confirm menopause. 
 
Note: Females treated with hormone replacement therapy (HRT) are likely to have artificially 
suppressed FSH levels and may require a washout period in order to obtain a physiologic FSH 
level. The duration of the washout period is a function of the type of HRT used. The duration of 
the washout period below are suggested guidelines and the investigators should use their judgment 
in checking serum FSH levels.  
x 1 week minimum for vaginal hormonal products (rings, creams, gels) 
x 4 week minimum for transdermal products 
x 8 week minimum for oral products 
Other parenteral products may require washout periods as long as 6 months. If the serum FSH 
level is > 40 mIU/ml at any time during the washout period, the woman can be considered 
postmenopausal.

CONTRACEPTION GUIDANCE FOR FEMALE SUBJECTS OF CHILD BEARING 
POTENTIAL 
One of the highly effective methods of contraception listed below is required during study duration 
and until the end of relevant systemic exposure, defined as 3 days after the end of study treatment, 
plus 30 days. 
Local laws and regulations may require use of alternative and/or additional contraception methods. 
Highly Effective Contraceptive Methods That Are User Dependent  
Failure rate of <1% per year when used consistently and correctly.a  
x Combined (estrogen- and progestogen-containing) hormonal contraception associated with 
inhibition of ovulationb  
 oral  
 intravaginald  
 transdermald 
x Progestogen-only hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulationb  
 oral  
 injectabled  
Highly Effective Methods That Are User Independent  
x Implantable progestogen-only hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of 
ovulationbd 
x Intrauterine devicecd  
x Intrauterine hormone-releasing systemcd 
x Bilateral tubal occlusion 
x Vasectomized partner  
A vasectomized partner is a highly effective contraception method provided that the partner is 
the sole male sexual partner of the WOCBP and the absence of sperm has been confirmed. If 
not, an additional highly effective method of contraception should be used.

102 
x Sexual abstinence  
Sexual abstinence is considered a highly effective method only if defined as refraining from 
heterosexual intercourse during the entire period of risk associated with the study treatment. 
The reliability of sexual abstinence needs to be evaluated in relation to the duration of the study 
and the preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject. 
x It is not necessary to use any other method of contraception when complete abstinence is 
elected.  
x WOCBP subjects who choose complete abstinence must continue to have pregnancy tests, 
as specified in Section 5.1.  
x Acceptable alternate methods of highly effective contraception must be discussed in the 
event that the WOCBP subjects chooses to forego complete abstinence.  
NOTES:  
a 
Typical use failure rates may differ from those when used consistently and correctly. Use 
should be consistent with local regulations regarding the use of contraceptive methods for 
subjects participating in clinical studies.  
b 
Hormonal contraception may be susceptible to interaction with the study treatment, 
which may reduce the efficacy of the contraceptive method. Hormonal contraception is 
permissible only when there is sufficient evidence that the IMP and other study medications will 
not alter hormonal exposures such that contraception would be ineffective or result in increased 
exposures that could be potentially hazardous. In this case, alternative methods of contraception 
should be utilized.  
c 
Intrauterine devices and intrauterine hormone-releasing systems are acceptable methods 
of contraception in the absence of definitive drug interaction studies when hormone exposures 
from intrauterine devices do not alter contraception effectiveness. 
d                These methods are not approved nor certified in Japan. 
 
Less Than Highly Effective Contraceptive Methods That Are User Dependent  
Failure rate of >1% per year when used consistently and correctly. 
x Male condom with spermicidea or male condom without spermicide or male condom applied 
spermicide 
x Female condom with spermicidea or without spermicidea 
x Diaphragm with spermicidea 
x Cervical cap with spermicidea 
x Vaginal Sponge with spermicidea

CONTRACEPTION GUIDANCE FOR MALE SUBJECTS WITH PARTNER(S) OF 
CHILD BEARING POTENTIAL. 
Male subjects with female partners of childbearing potential are eligible to participate if they agree 
to the following during the treatment and until the end of relevant systemic exposure. 
x Inform any and all partner(s) of their participation in a clinical drug study and the need to 
comply with contraception instructions as directed by the investigator. 
x Male subjects are required to use a condom for study duration and until the end of relevant 
systemic exposure defined as 3 days after the end of treatment in the male subject. 
x Female partners of males participating in the study to consider use of effective methods of 
contraception until the end of relevant systemic exposure, defined as 3 days after the end of 
treatment in the male subject. 
x Male subjects with a pregnant or breastfeeding partner must agree to remain abstinent from 
penile vaginal intercourse or use a male condom during each episode of penile penetration 
during the treatment and until 3 days after the end of treatment.  
x Refrain from donating sperm for the duration of the study treatment and for 3 days after the 
end of treatment.

CLASSIFICATION CRITERIA FOR PSORIATIC ARTHRITIS 
(CASPAR)  
To meet the CASPAR (ClASsification criteria for Psoriatic ARthritis) criteria, a subject must 
have inflammatory articular disease (joint, spine, or entheseal) with 3 points from the following 5 
categories: 
 
Current psoriasis is assigned 2 points, while all other features are assigned a score of 1. 
1. Evidence of current psoriasis, a personal history of psoriasis, or a family history of psoriasis.  
Current psoriasis is defined as psoriatic skin or scalp disease present today as judged by a 
rheumatologist or dermatologist. A personal history of psoriasis is defined as a history of 
psoriasis that may be obtained from a patient, family physician, dermatologist, rheumatologist, 
or other qualified health care provider. A family history of psoriasis is defined as a history of 
psoriasis in a first-or second-degree relative according to patient report 
2. Typical psoriatic nail dystrophy including onycholysis, pitting, and hyperkeratosis observed 
on current physical examination.  
3. A negative test result for the presence of rheumatoid factor by any method except latex but 
preferably by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay or nephelometry, according to the local 
laboratory reference range. 
4. Either current dactylitis, defined as swelling of an entire digit, or a history of dactylitis recorded 
by a rheumatologist. 
5. Radiographic evidence of juxtaarticular new bone formation, appearing as ill-defined 
ossification near joint margins (but excluding osteophyte formation) on plain radiographs of 
the hand or foot.

EIGHT-ITEM PATIENT HEALTH QUESTIONNAIRE (PHQ-8) 
 
The eight-item Patient Health Questionnaire depression scale is established as a valid 
self-administered diagnostic and severity measure for depressive disorders. It consists of 8 
different questions, with an answer scale from 0 to 3. The overall score is determined by adding 
up each of the individual answers from each question.  
Scoring interpretation is as follows: 0 to 4 no significant depressive symptoms, 5 to 9 mild 
depressive symptoms, 10 to 14 moderate depressive symptoms, 15 to 19 moderately severe 
depressive symptoms, and 20 to 24 severe depressive symptoms

APPENDIX 25 
SUICIDAL IDEATION AND BEHAVIOR CATEGORIES AND 
DEFINITIONS 
 
Suicidal Ideation 
Passive suicidal ideation: wish to be dead 
Patient has thoughts about a wish to be dead or not alive anymore, or wish to fall asleep 
and not wake up. 
Active suicidal ideation: nonspecific (no method, intent, or plan) 
General nonspecific thoughts of wanting to end one’s life or commit suicide (eg, “I’ve 
thought about killing myself”) without general thoughts of ways to kill oneself/associated 
methods, intent, or plan during the assessment period. 
Active suicidal ideation: method, but no intent or plan 
Patient has thoughts of suicide and has thought of at least one method during the assessment 
period. This situation is different than a specific plan with time, place, or method details 
worked out (eg, thought of method to kill self but not a specific plan). Includes person who 
would say, “I thought about taking an overdose but I never made a specific plan as to when, 
where, or how I would actually do it . . . and I would never go through with it.” 
Active suicidal ideation: method and intent, but no plan 
Active suicidal thoughts of killing oneself, and patient reports having some intent to act on 
such thoughts, as opposed to “I have the thoughts but I definitely will not do anything about 
them.” 
Active suicidal ideation: method, intent, and plan 
Thoughts of killing oneself with details of plan fully or partially worked out and patient 
has some intent to carry it out (ie, some degree of intent is implicit in the concept of plan). 
Suicidal Behavior 
Completed suicide 
A self-injurious behavior that resulted in fatality and was associated with at least some 
intent to die as a result of the act. Evidence that the individual intended to kill him- or 
herself, at least to some degree, can be explicit or inferred from the behavior or 
circumstance. 
Suicide attempt 
A potentially self-injurious behavior, associated with at least some intent to die as a result 
of the act. Evidence that the individual intended to kill him- or herself, at least to some 
degree, can be explicit or inferred from the behavior or circumstance. A suicide attempt 
may or may not result in actual injury.

133 
Interrupted suicide attempt 
When the person is interrupted (by an outside circumstance) from starting a potentially 
self-injurious act (if not for that, actual attempt would have occurred). 
Aborted suicide attempt 
When person begins to take steps toward making a suicide attempt, but stops before 
actually engaging in any self-destructive behavior. Examples are similar to interrupted 
attempts, except that the individual stops before being stopped by something else. 
Preparatory acts toward imminent suicidal behaviors 
This category can include anything beyond a verbalization or thought, but it stops short of 
a suicide attempt, an interrupted suicide attempt, or an aborted suicide attempt. This might 
include behaviors related to assembling a specific method (eg, buying pills, purchasing a 
gun) or preparing for one’s death by suicide (eg, giving things away, writing a suicide 
note). 
Self-Injurious Behavior Without Suicidal Intent 
Self-injurious behavior associated with no intent to die. The behavior is intended purely for other 
reasons, either to relieve distress (often referred to as self-mutilation (eg, superficial cuts or 
scratches, hitting or banging, or burns)) or to effect change in others or the environment.
