Abbreviations: AE adverse event, LEB lebrikizumab, MedDRA Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities, N number of patients in the analysis population, n number of patients in the specified category, NMCS non-melanoma skin cancer, PT preferred term, Q2W every 2 weeks, SAE serious adverse event, TEAE treatment-emergent adverse event

aSAEs and AEs leading to treatment discontinuation are inclusive of death. Death was a single patient with cardiac arrest that was fatal, serious, and led to discontinuation. Hospital records noted cardiac arrest and COVID-19 as cause of death, and the death was assessed by investigator as related to COVID-19 and not to the study drug

bConjunctivitis allergic event led to treatment discontinuation

cMultiple injuries after falling from a bicycle

dDenominator-adjusted because of gender-specific event for males: N = 98

eTEAEs are defined using the MedDRA preferred terms

fConjunctivitis cluster includes the following preferred terms: conjunctivitis, conjunctivitis allergic, conjunctivitis bacterial, conjunctivitis viral, and giant papillary conjunctivitis

gKeratitis cluster includes the following preferred terms: keratitis, atopic keratoconjunctivitis, allergic keratitis, ulcerative keratitis, and vernal keratoconjunctivitis

hInjection site reactions were defined as MedDRA based on high level term Injection Site Reactions

iHerpes infections were defined using MedDRA high-level term Herpes Viral Infections. No herpes zoster was reported

jAll infections were non-serious and all potential opportunistic infections were medically reviewed prior to database lock and were assessed as not opportunistic based on the Winthrop criteria [20]

kEosinophilia was reported as an AE by the investigator

lMalignancy event was a suspected case of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma
