The following adverse reactions are discussed in greater detail in other sections of labeling: • Infections [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] • Malignancy including Lymphomas [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4) ] • Elevated CPK [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5) ] • Laboratory Abnormalities [see Warnings and Precautions (5.6) ] Most common adverse reactions (≥ 1%) are: upper respiratory infections, blood creatine phosphokinase increased, herpes simplex, mouth ulcers, folliculitis, and acne.

Plaque Psoriasis Clinical Trials The safety of SOTYKTU was evaluated in two placebo- and active-controlled trials (Trial PSO-1 and Trial PSO-2) and an open-label extension trial in which subjects who completed Trial PSO-1 or Trial PSO-2 could enroll [see Clinical Studies (14.1) ]. In these clinical trials, a total of 1,519 subjects with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis who were candidates for systemic therapy or phototherapy received SOTYKTU 6 mg orally once daily. Of these, 1,141 subjects were exposed to SOTYKTU for at least one year. In Trials PSO-1 and PSO-2, 1,681 subjects were randomized to receive SOTYKTU 6 mg once daily (840 subjects), placebo (419 subjects), or apremilast 30 mg twice daily (422 subjects). All subjects randomized to placebo switched to SOTYKTU at Week 16. All other subjects remained in their original treatment group until Week 24, at which point subjects could have continued on the same treatment or be switched to SOTYKTU or placebo. The mean age of subjects was 47 years. The majority of subjects were White (87%) and male (67%). In the 16-week placebo-controlled period of the pooled clinical trials (Trials PSO-1 and PSO-2), discontinuation of therapy due to adverse reactions in subjects who received SOTYKTU was 2.4%, compared to 3.8% for placebo. Table 1 summarizes the adverse reactions that occurred in at least 1% of subjects in the SOTYKTU group and at a higher rate than the placebo group during the 16-week controlled period. Table 1: Adverse Reactions that Occurred in ≥ 1% of Subjects with Plaque Psoriasis in the SOTYKTU Group and More Frequently than in the Placebo Group in Trials PSO-1 and PSO-2 through Week 16 a Includes upper respiratory tract infection (viral, bacterial, and unspecified), nasopharyngitis, pharyngitis (including viral, streptococcal, and unspecified), sinusitis (includes acute, viral, bacterial), rhinitis, rhinotracheitis, tracheitis, laryngitis, and tonsillitis (including bacterial, streptococcal) b Includes oral herpes, genital herpes, herpes simplex, and herpes virus infection c Includes mouth ulceration, aphthous ulcer, tongue ulceration, and stomatitis d Includes acne, acne cystic, and dermatitis acneiform Adverse Reaction SOTYKTU 6 mg once daily Placebo N=840 n (%) N=419 n (%) Upper respiratory infections a 161 (19.2) 62 (14.8) Blood creatine phosphokinase increased 23 (2.7) 5 (1.2) Herpes simplex b 17 (2) 1 (0.2) Mouth ulcers c 16 (1.9) 0 (0.0) Folliculitis 14 (1.7) 0 (0.0) Acne d 12 (1.4) 1 (0.2) Adverse reactions that occurred in < 1% of subjects in the SOTYKTU group were herpes zoster. Specific Adverse Reactions Exposure adjusted incidence rates are reported for all the adverse reactions presented below. Infections In the 16-week placebo-controlled period, infections occurred in 29% of subjects in the SOTYKTU group (116 events per 100 patient-years) compared to 22% of subjects in the placebo group (83.7 events per 100 patient-years). The majority of infections were non-serious and mild to moderate in severity and did not lead to discontinuation of SOTYKTU. In the 16-week placebo-controlled period, serious infections were reported in 5 subjects (2.0 per 100 patient-years) treated with SOTYKTU and 2 subjects (1.6 per 100 patient-years) treated with placebo. The most common serious infections reported during the 52-week treatment period were pneumonia and COVID-19. Malignancies During the 0-to-52-week treatment period of the two clinical trials, Trial PSO-1 and PSO-2 (total exposure of 986 patient-years with SOTYKTU), malignancies (excluding non-melanoma skin cancer) were reported in 3 subjects treated with SOTYKTU (0.3 per 100 patient-years), including single cases each of breast cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, and lymphoma after 24, 32, and 25 weeks of treatment, respectively. During Trials PSO-1, PSO-2 and the open-label extension trial in which subjects who completed the controlled trials could enroll, a total of 3 subjects (0.1 per 100 patient-years) developed lymphoma while receiving SOTYKTU after 25, 77, and 98 weeks of treatment, respectively. Laboratory Abnormalities • Creatine Phosphokinase: In the 16-week placebo-controlled period, increased creatine phosphokinase (CPK) (including Grade 4) was reported in 23 subjects (9.3 per 100 patient-years) treated with SOTYKTU, and 5 subjects (4.1 per 100 patient-years) treated with placebo. • Liver Enzyme Elevations: Events of increases in liver enzymes ≥3 times the ULN were observed in subjects treated with SOTYKTU [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5) ] . In the 16-week placebo-controlled period: o ALT elevations ≥3 times the ULN was reported in 9 subjects (3.6 per 100 patient- years) treated with SOTYKTU, and 2 subjects (1.6 per 100 patient-years) treated with placebo. o AST elevations ≥3 times the ULN was reported in 13 subjects (5.2 per 100 patient- years) treated with SOTYKTU, and 2 subjects (1.6 per 100 patient-years) treated with placebo. • Decreased Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR): In the 16-week placebo-controlled period in subjects who had moderate renal impairment (eGFR 30-59 mL/min) at baseline, decreased GFR was reported in 4 subjects (1.6 per 100 patient-years) treated with SOTYKTU, and 1 subject (0.8 per 100 patient-years) treated with placebo. Two of the SOTYKTU-treated subjects had worsening of baseline proteinuria. • Lipid Elevations: Mean triglycerides increased by 10.3 mg/dL during the 16-week treatment period in subjects treated with SOTYKTU and by 9.1 mg/dL during the 52-week treatment period. Safety Through Week 52 In Trials PSO-1 and PSO-2, the exposure adjusted incidence rate of adverse reactions in subjects treated with SOTYKTU from Week 0 through Week 52 without switching treatment did not increase compared to the rate observed during the first 16 weeks of treatment. Psoriatic Arthritis Clinical Trials The safety of SOTYKTU was evaluated in two placebo-controlled clinical trials in adults with active psoriatic arthritis, Trials PsA-1 and PsA-2 [see Clinical Studies (14.2) ] . The overall safety profile of SOTYKTU observed in subjects with active psoriatic arthritis was generally consistent with the safety profile observed in subjects with plaque psoriasis.
