Safety Profile in Psoriasis
Learn more about the safety profile of SKYRIZI in clinical trials and long-term studies for psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis.
*Contraindications include hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the excipients and clinically important active infections e.g. active tuberculosis.

AE, adverse event; E, events; MACE, major adverse cardiovascular event; NMSC, nonmelanoma skin cancer; PYs, patient-years; RZB, risankizumab; TEAE, treatment-emergent AE.
aPrimary psoriasis safety pool includes UltIMMa-1, UltMMa-2, IMMhance, IMMvent and NCT0205448110 studies.
b16-week safety data for patients who received RZB 150 mg UltIMMa-1, UltMMa-2, and IMMvent (primary psoriasis safety pool) are included in the 324-week LIMMitless results.
cDue to natural causes (n=1), accident (n=1), cardiovascular event (n=1), cardiac arrest (n=1), sudden cardiac death (n=1), cause unknown (n=2), and COVID-19 infection (n=1); none related to RZB.
dMACE rate in the LIMMitless study is consistent with the incidence rate of MACE in the Psoriasis Longitudinal Assessment and Registry (PSOLAR; 0.57 E/100PY; 95% CI, 0.50–0.65).
eMalignancy types excluding NMSC were colorectal (n=7), skin (n=5), breast (n=4), prostate (n=3), urothelial (n=3), uterine (n=2), brain (n=1), gastric (n=1), and head and neck (n=1).
fSerious hypersensitivity reactions (all of which were considered unrelated to study drug) were paraphenylenediamine allergy (n=1; mild, attributed to hair dye application), generalized microbial eczema (n=1; moderate, attributed to prolonged duration of generalized eczema and lack of response to treatment with hydrocortisone), and Stevens-Johnson syndrome (n=2; severe, attributed to addition of chlorpromazine [n=1] and attributed to addition of Bactrim [n=1]).
gOne nonserious event of ulcerative colitis, considered unrelated to RZB.
Summary of treatment-emergent adverse events with SKYRIZI vs adalimumab in Part A (Weeks 0-16) of the IMMvent Phase III clinical trial6
Randomised controlled trial, intention to treat population (Part A).
aInvestigator assessed AE as possibly related to study drug.
bThe most frequently reported infectious AE were viral upper respiratory tract infection and upper resporatory tract infarction.
cOne patient with acute myocardial infarction on study day 73 (event was not considered to be study grud related by investigator).
dOne patient diagnosed with invasive lobular breast carcinoma on study day 63 following routine mammogram (event was not considered to be study drug related by investigator).
eOne patient with stage IV gall bladder cancer.
fOne patient with cholelithiasis, underwent gall bladder surgery, developed cardiopulmonary arrest and died due to abdominal abscess, sepsis, and gastric perforation (events were not considered to be study drug related by investigator).
AE, adverse event; MACE, major adverse cardiovascular events; NMSC, non-melanoma skin cancer.
Summary of treatment-emergent adverse events with SKYRIZI vs. adalimumab in Part B (Weeks 16-44) of the IMMvent Phase III clinical trial6
Randomised controlled trial. lntention to population (Part B). Patients previously treated with adailmumab. randomised to adallrnumab or SKYRIZI at Week 16.
aInvestigator assessed AE as possibly related to study drug.
bThe most frequently reported Infectious AE were viral upper respiratory tract Infection and upper respiratory tract Infection.
cOne patient with latent tuberculosis. positive TB test during the study.
AE, adverse event; MACE, major adverse cardiovascular events; NMSC, non-melanoma skin cancer.
Safety events from KEEPsAKE 1 and KEEPsAKE 2 through to week 528
Adapted from Kristensen LE, et al. 2021.
aSafety reported through data cutoff date (19 April 2021), which includes data through week 52. Data are from any RZB 150-mg group that includes all patients who received RZB 150 mg, including those who started on RZB 150 mg at randomisation and who switched from placebo to RZB 150 mg after week 24.
b10 of the 27 events were cases of COVID-19.
cAn 81-year-old male patient randomised to RZB died of urosepsis on day 96, and a 41-year-old male patient randomised to RZB experienced sudden death on day 502.
E, events; MACE, major adverse cardiovascular events; NMSC, non-melanoma skin cancer; PY, patient-years; RZB, risankizumab; TB, tuberculosis; TEAE, treatment-emergent adverse events.
