aAEs reported in > 3% of patients in the overall risankizumab population

bIn the risankizumab 150-mg group, serious AEs included cardiac arrhythmia and cellulitis; the investigator believed there was a reasonable possibility that the cellulitis was treatment-related. In the risankizumab 300-mg group, serious AEs included worsening of osteoarthritis (n = 1); amaurosis fugax (n = 1); and coccyx fracture, vertebral fracture, and cellulitis in 1 patient; none of the serious AEs was considered to be treatment-related

cIncludes 1 patient each with cellulitis and 1 patient each with Kaposi’s varicelliform eruption in the continuous risankizumab 150 mg and 300 mg groups
