Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Cohort 1

Subjects in this cohort will receive dose 1 every four weeks (Q4W) subcutaneously (sc) during the 48-week open-label Treatment Period. There will be an option to increase the dose to dose 2 Q4W at the discretion of the Investigator if the subject's Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) response is >=50% to <75% reduction from the Baseline of PS0016 at Week 12 or later. If the subject's disease is adequately controlled on dose 2 Q4W, they may return to dose 1 Q4W at the discretion of the Investigator.

Drug: Bimekizumab
Bimekizumab will be administered subcutaneously in 2 different doses.

  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Incidence of Treatment Emergent Adverse Event (TEAE) Adjusted by Duration of Participant Exposure to Treatment [From Baseline (Week 0) until Safety Follow Up Visit (up to Week 64)]

      TEAEs were events that had a start date on or after the first administration of study treatment in PS0018 until the last received dose of investigational medicinal product (IMP) +140 days [which covered the 20-week Safety Follow-Up (SFU) Visit]. The number of TEAEs adjusted by duration of exposure to study treatment was scaled such that it provides an incidence rate per 100 patient-years. If a participant had multiple events, the time of exposure was calculated to the first occurrence of the adverse event (AE) being considered. If a participant had no events, the total time at risk was used.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Plasma Concentration of Bimekizumab During the Study [From Baseline (Week 0) until Safety Follow Up Visit (up to Week 64)]

      Plasma concentration of Bimekizumab was expressed in micrograms per milliliter (μg/mL). Values Below Limit of Quantification (BLQ) were replaced by value of Lower Limit of Quantification (LLOQ) divided by 2 (=0.075 μg/mL) in calculations of Means and Coefficient of Variations (CVs). Means and CVs were only calculated if at least 2/3 of the concentrations were quantified at the respective timepoint.

    2. Percentage of Participants With Positive Anti-bimekizumab (BZK) Antibody Levels Prior to Study Treatment [Baseline of study PS0016 [NCT03025542]]

      For a given visit / time point, an Anti-BKZ status of positive was concluded for any participant with an anti-drug antibody (ADA) level that was above cut point (ACP) and CP at that visit/ time point. A participant was classified as overall positive if at least one PS0018 measurement is ACP and CP (this included participants who had negative results at PS0016 Baseline). Percentages were based on the number of participants with a non-missing measurement, from samples that did not contain BKZ concentration levels above the drug tolerance, at the visit. Baseline was defined as the last available value prior to the first injection of study medication in the PS0016 study.

    3. Percentage of Participants With Overall Positive Anti-bimekizumab (BZK) Antibody Levels Following Study Treatment [From Baseline of study PS0016 [NCT03025542] until Safety Follow Up Visit (up to Week 64) of study PS0018]

      For a given visit / time point, an Anti-BKZ status of positive was concluded for any participant with an anti-drug antibody (ADA) level that was above cut point (ACP) and CP at that visit/ time point. A participant was classified as overall positive if at least one PS0018 measurement is ACP and CP (this included participants who had negative results at PS0016 Baseline). Percentages were based on the number of participants with a non-missing measurement, from samples that did not contain BKZ concentration levels above the drug tolerance, at the visit. Baseline was defined as the last available value prior to the first injection of study medication in the PS0016 study.

    4. Percentage of Participants Achieving a 50% or Higher Improvement in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) During the Study [From Baseline of study PS0016 [NCT03025542] until Safety Follow Up Visit (up to Week 64) of study PS0018]

      The PASI quantifies the severity and extent of the disease and weighs these with the percentage of body surface area (BSA) involvement. The degree of involvement is estimated across 4 body areas; head, upper limbs, trunk, and lower limbs and then transferred into a grade. The Investigator assessed the average redness, thickness, and scaliness of lesions in each body area (each on a 5 - point scale); 0 = none, 1 = slight, 2 = moderate, 3 = marked, and 4 = very marked. The PASI score ranges from 0 to 72 with a higher score indicating increased disease severity. The PASI50 responses were based on at least 50% improvement in the PASI score at the Baseline of PS0016. Baseline was defined as the last available value prior to the first injection of study medication in the PS0016 study.

    5. Percentage of Participants Achieving a 75% or Higher Improvement in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) During the Study [From Baseline of study PS0016 [NCT03025542] until Safety Follow Up Visit (up to Week 64) of study PS0018]

    Outcome Measures

    1. Primary Outcome
    Title Incidence of Treatment Emergent Adverse Event (TEAE) Adjusted by Duration of Participant Exposure to Treatment
    Description TEAEs were events that had a start date on or after the first administration of study treatment in PS0018 until the last received dose of investigational medicinal product (IMP) +140 days [which covered the 20-week Safety Follow-Up (SFU) Visit]. The number of TEAEs adjusted by duration of exposure to study treatment was scaled such that it provides an incidence rate per 100 patient-years. If a participant had multiple events, the time of exposure was calculated to the first occurrence of the adverse event (AE) being considered. If a participant had no events, the total time at risk was used.
    Time Frame From Baseline (Week 0) until Safety Follow Up Visit (up to Week 64)

    Outcome Measure Data

    Analysis Population Description
    The Safety Set consisted of all participants who received at least 1 dose of the study medication in PS0018.
    Arm/Group Title BKZ All Participants (SS)
    Arm/Group Description Participants received BKZ 160 mg Q4W sc during the 48-week Open Label Treatment Period. The Investigator could increase the dose to BKZ 320mg Q4W if the participant's PASI response was >= 50% to < 75% reduction from the Baseline of PS0016 at Week 12 or later. If the participant's disease was adequately controlled on BKZ 320 mg Q4W, they could return to BKZ 160 mg Q4W at the discretion of the Investigator. Participants formed the Safety Set (SS).

    Title Percentage of Participants With Positive Anti-bimekizumab (BZK) Antibody Levels Prior to Study Treatment
    Description For a given visit / time point, an Anti-BKZ status of positive was concluded for any participant with an anti-drug antibody (ADA) level that was above cut point (ACP) and CP at that visit/ time point. A participant was classified as overall positive if at least one PS0018 measurement is ACP and CP (this included participants who had negative results at PS0016 Baseline). Percentages were based on the number of participants with a non-missing measurement, from samples that did not contain BKZ concentration levels above the drug tolerance, at the visit. Baseline was defined as the last available value prior to the first injection of study medication in the PS0016 study.

    Title Percentage of Participants Who Shifted From Moderate Investigator´s Global Assessment (IGA) Score at PS0016 [NCT03025542] Baseline to Clear IGA Score During the Study
    Description A static IGA for Psoriasis (PSO) was used to assess disease severity in all study participants during the study. IGA is a 5 point scale ranging from 0 = Clear to 4 = Severe. Moderate IGA was defined as clearly distinguishable to moderate thickening; dull to bright red, clearly distinguishable to moderate thickening; moderate scaling. Clear IGA was defined as no signs of PSO; post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation may be present. Baseline was defined as the last available value prior to the first injection of study medication in the PS0016 study.
    Time Frame From Baseline of study PS0016 [NCT03025542] until Safety Follow Up Visit (up to Week 64) of study PS0018

    Outcome Measure Data

    Analysis Population Description
    The Full Analysis Set consisted of all enrolled participants who received at least 1 dose of the study medication and have a valid efficacy measurement for PASI at Baseline of PS0018.
    Arm/Group Title BKZ All Participants (FAS)
    Arm/Group Description Participants received BKZ 160 mg Q4W sc during the 48-week Open Label Treatment Period. The Investigator could increase the dose to BKZ 320 mg Q4W if the participant's PASI response was >= 50% to < 75% reduction from the Baseline of PS0016 at Week 12 or later. If the participant's disease was adequately controlled on BKZ 320 mg Q4W, they could return to BKZ 160 mg Q4W at the discretion of the Investigator. Participants formed the Full Analysis Set (FAS).

    Description A static IGA for Psoriasis (PSO) was used to assess disease severity in all study participants during the study. IGA is a 5 point scale ranging from 0 = Clear to 4 = Severe. Severe IGA was defined as severe thickening with hard edges; bright to deep dark red coloration; severe/coarse scaling covering almost all or all lesions. Baseline was defined as the last available value prior to the first injection of study medication in the PS0016 study.
    Time Frame From Baseline of study PS0016 [NCT03025542] until Safety Follow Up Visit (up to Week 64) of study PS0018

    Outcome Measure Data

    Analysis Population Description
    The Full Analysis Set consisted of all enrolled participants who received at least 1 dose of the study medication and have a valid efficacy measurement for PASI at Baseline of PS0018.
    Arm/Group Title BKZ All Participants (FAS)
    Arm/Group Description Participants received BKZ 160 mg Q4W sc during the 48-week Open Label Treatment Period. The Investigator could increase the dose to BKZ 320 mg Q4W if the participant's PASI response was >= 50% to < 75% reduction from the Baseline of PS0016 at Week 12 or later. If the participant's disease was adequately controlled on BKZ 320 mg Q4W, they could return to BKZ 160 mg Q4W at the discretion of the Investigator. Participants formed the Full Analysis Set (FAS).

    Title Mean Percentage in the Body Surface Area (BSA) Affected by Psoriasis During the Study
    Description The BSA palm method was used for the evaluation of BSA as follows: Body surface area estimation used the palm (study participant's flat hand and thumb together, fingers included) as representing around 1% of the total BSA. Missing data was imputed using Last Observation Carried forward (LOCF) at all visits. Baseline was defined as the last available value prior to the first injection of study medication in the PS0016 study.
