HEAD-TO-HEAD TRIALS: SKYRIZI vs Adalimumab (IMMvent)
Superior efficacy vs adalimumab in psoriasis1
Significantly more patients achieve PASI 90 with SKYRIZI vs adalimumab at 16 weeks1
Proportion of patients achieving PASI 90 through to Week 16 in the IMMvent pivotal trial
IMMvent was a phase III, randomised, double-blind, active-controlled study evaluating the efficacy and safety of SKYRIZI compared with adalimumab in adult patients with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. SKYRIZI n=301. adalimumab n=304.
Co-primary endpoints for Part A - PASI 90 & sPGA 0/1 at Week 16. SKYRIZI vs adalimumab were met P<0.001.

Significantly more patients achieve PASI 100 with SKYRIZI vs adalimumab at 16 weeks1
Proportion of patients achieving PASI 100 through to Week 16 in the IMMvent pivotal trial
IMMvent was a phase III, randomised, double-bllnd. active-controlled study evaluating the efficacy and safety of SKYRIZI compared with adalimumab in adult patients with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. SKYRIZI n=301, adalimumab n=304.

SKYRIZI significantly improved PASI 90 in inadequate or partial responders after switching from adalimumab1
66% of SKYRIZI patients achieved PASI 90 at Week 44 vs 21% continuing on adalimumab1
Inadequate or partial response In the IMMvent study was defined as >PASI 50 to <PASI 90 at Week 16 in patients receiving adalimumab.
Not depicted: IMMvent Part A (baseline to Week 16). SKYRIZI (n=301): adalimumab (n=304). PASI 90 at Week 16: SKYRIZI 72.4%; adalimumab 47.4% (P<0.001), inadequate or partial responders only (≤PASI 50 to <PASI 90).
Co-primary endpoints for Part A - PASI 90 & sPGA 0/1 at Week 16. SKYRIZI vs adalimumab were met P<0.001.
aPrimary endpoint for Part B, PASI 90 at Week 44 in re-randomised patients.

40% of SKYRIZI patients achieved PASI 100 at Week 44 vs 7% continuing on adalimumab1
Inadequate or partial response In the IMMvent study was defined as ≥PASI 50 to <PASI 90 at Week 16 in patients receiving adalimumab. Not depicted: IMMvent Part A (baseline to Week 16). SKYRIZI (n=301); adalimumab (n=304). PASI 90 at Week 16: SKYRIZI 72.4%; adalimumab 47.4% (P<0.001). Inadequate or partial responders only (≥PASI 50 to <PASI 90) were re-randomised to Part B. Primary endpoint for Part B was PASI 90 at Week 44 with SKYRIZI vs adalimumab among those with PASI 50-<PASI 90 after 16 weeks of adalimumab treatment. Part B endpoint was met (P<0.001).
Co-primary endpoints for Part A - PASI 90 & sPGA 0/1 at Week 16. SKYRIZI vs adalimumab were met P<0.001.

Efficacy and safety of SKYRIZI compared with adalimumab in patients with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis
Part A (baseline to Week 16): Patients received either SKYRIZI 150mg or adalimumab (80mg at baseline, 40mg at Week 1, and then EOW).
Part B (Weeks 16 to 52): SKYRIZI patients continued on treatment. Adalimumab group, dependent on PASI response:
- PASI <50 switched to SKYRIZI
- PASI 50 <PASI 90 (re-randomised to either SKYRIZI or adalimumab)
- PASI 90 continued with adalimumab
EOW, every other week; PASI, Psoriasis Area Severity Index; sPGA, static Physicians’ Global Assessment.
Co-primary endpoints:
Co-primary endpoints for Part A were PASI 90 and sPGA 0/1 at week 16 with SKYRIZI vs adalimumab.
Primary endpoint for Part B was PASI 90 at Week 44 with SKYRIZI vs adalimumab among those with PASI 50 — PASI 90 after 16 weeks of adalimumab treatment.
Co-primary and primary endpoints were met for both Part A and Part B (P<0.0001).
Ranked secondary endpoints:
- PASI 75 at Week 16 with SKYRIZI vs adalimumab
- PASI 100 at Weeks 16 and 44 with SKYRIZI vs adalimumab.
All ranked endpoints were met (P<0.001)
