[Kirk staring into distance wearing bicycle helmet. Flashes of archival photos.]
Kirk: Whether it was skiing, biking, or fishing; you name it, I loved it.

Kirk: With the onset of Psoriatic Arthritis and its impact on my joints, my participation in these activities came to a halt.

[Kirk continues reading and writing the letter]
Kirk: At my toughest time, you were there for me. You knew I couldn’t wait for fast and lasting relief. So, I'm writing you this letter to say thank you.

[Archival footage of Kirk enjoying the outdoors, and joint pain setting in.]
Kirk: Aside from having bothersome skin plaques, I was at the top of my game when I started to feel the onset of pain and stiffness in some of my joints. And then, just like that, things started to go downhill.

[Kirk puts on his biking socks and gloves, and grips a cup of coffee outside. He continues to read the letter.]
Kirk: Something as simple as putting my socks on was next to impossible, let alone gripping the handles on my bike. Even cooling a cup of coffee in my hands, the pain was unbelievable. I could feel it just thinking about it.

[Kirk looks at photos of his family before his diagnosis.]
Kirk: The hardest part, it was affecting my family. My kids had school, but I could barely get out of bed to drive them there. My wife was mowing the lawn, but I couldn't get off the couch to help her. I was in tears many mornings.

Narrator: SPIRIT-P1 and SPIRIT-P2 were phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials designed to evaluate the efficacy of Taltz vs placebo in adults with active psoriatic arthritis. Patients in SPIRIT-P1 were biologic naive, while patients in SPIRIT-P2 had an inadequate response or were intolerant to 1 or 2 prior TNF inhibitors. Patients were randomized to placebo or Taltz 80 mg Q2W or Q4W following a 160-mg starting dose. In SPIRIT-P1, an active reference arm of Humira 40 mg Q2W was included. Taltz 80 mg every two weeks is not an approved dose for psoriatic arthritis. Only data from the Q4W arm will be shown. In both trials, the primary efficacy endpoint was the proportion of patients achieving ACR20 response at week 24.

Indications and Important Safety Information for TALTZ (ixekizumab)
INDICATIONS
Taltz is indicated for adults with active psoriatic arthritis (PsA), for adults with active ankylosing spondylitis (AS), and for adults with active non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (nr-axSpA) with objective signs of inflammation. Taltz is also indicated for patients aged 6 years or older with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis (PsO) who are candidates for systemic therapy or phototherapy.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
Taltz is contraindicated in patients with a previous serious hypersensitivity reaction, such as anaphylaxis, to ixekizumab or to any of the excipients.
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
Infections
Taltz may increase the risk of infection. Serious infections have occurred. In clinical trials of adult patients with plaque psoriasis, the Taltz group had a higher rate of infections than the placebo group (27% vs 23%). A similar increase in risk of infection was seen in placebo- controlled trials of adult patients with psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, non- radiographic axial spondyloarthritis, and pediatric patients with plaque psoriasis. In the post-marketing setting, serious bacterial, viral, and fungal opportunistic infections have been reported in patients receiving IL-17 inhibitors, including Taltz. Instruct patients to seek medical advice if signs or symptoms of clinically important chronic or acute infection occur. If a patient develops a serious infection or is not responding to standard therapy, monitor the patient closely and discontinue Taltz until the infection resolves.
Pre-Treatment Evaluation for Tuberculosis
Evaluate patients for tuberculosis (TB) infection prior to initiating treatment with Taltz. Do not administer to patients with active TB infection. Initiate treatment of latent TB prior to administering Taltz. Consider anti-TB therapy prior to initiating Taltz in patients with a past history of latent or active TB in whom an adequate course of treatment cannot be confirmed. Patients receiving Taltz should be monitored closely for signs and symptoms of active TB during and after treatment.
Hypersensitivity
Serious hypersensitivity reactions, including angioedema and urticaria (each ≤0.1%), occurred in the Taltz group in clinical trials. Anaphylaxis, including cases leading to hospitalization, has been reported in post-marketing use with Taltz. If a serious hypersensitivity reaction occurs, discontinue Taltz immediately and initiate appropriate therapy.
Eczematous Eruptions
In the postmarketing setting, cases of severe eczematous eruptions, including atopic dermatitis-like eruptions, dyshidrotic eczema, and erythroderma were reported in patients receiving Taltz; some cases resulted in hospitalization. The onset of eczematous eruptions was variable, ranging from days to months after the first dose of Taltz. Treatment may need to be discontinued to resolve the eczematous eruption. Some patients with limited psoriasis treatment options were successfully treated for eczema while continuing Taltz.
Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Patients treated with Taltz may be at an increased risk of inflammatory bowel disease. In clinical trials, Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, including exacerbations, occurred at a greater frequency in the Taltz group than the placebo group. During Taltz treatment, monitor patients for onset or exacerbations of inflammatory bowel disease and if IBD occurs, discontinue Taltz and initiate appropriate medical management.
Immunizations
Prior to initiating therapy with Taltz, consider completion of all age-appropriate immunizations according to current immunization guidelines. Avoid use of live vaccines in patients treated with Taltz.
ADVERSE REACTIONS
Most common adverse reactions (≥1%) associated with Taltz treatment are injection site reactions, upper respiratory tract infections, nausea, and tinea infections. Overall, the safety profiles observed in adult patients with psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis, and pediatric patients with plaque psoriasis were consistent with the safety profile in adult patients with plaque psoriasis, with the exception of influenza and conjunctivitis in psoriatic arthritis and conjunctivitis, influenza, and urticaria in pediatric psoriasis.
