E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Male and female subject aged 18 to 80 years (inclusive) at the time of signing the informed consent. 2. Subject has a known and documented history of GPP as per the European Rare and Severe Psoriasis Expert Network GPP criteria confirmed by the Investigator based on review of medical records and/or medical history OR subject is experiencing his/her first episode of GPP at the initial Screening, in which case the GPP diagnosis must be confirmed by the Investigator. -Subjects can enter Screening regardless of their current GPP severity. Subject may have a GPP flare of moderate to severe intensity defined by a BSA affected with pustules (excluding palms and soles)≥5%, a GPPPGA score≥3 (moderate severity), and a PRS score≥3 (moderate severity) at the initial screening visit OR subject may have a GPPPGA score≤ (mild severity) and/or a PRS score≤ 2mild severity) and/or BSA affected with pustules (excluding palms and soles) <5%at the initial screening visit. 3.Subject has a BSA affected with pustules (excluding palms and soles) ≥ 5%, a GPPPGA score ≥ 3 (moderate severity), and a PRS score ≥ 3 (moderate severity) at Day 1. 4.Subject meets the following laboratory criteria at Screening: a) Hemoglobin ≥ 90 g/L (≥ 9 g/dL); b) White blood cell count ≥ 2.8 × 109 /L (≥ 2.8 × 103 /µL); c) Platelets ≥ 100 × 109 /L (≥ 100 × 103 /µL); d)Serum creatinine < 132.6 µmol/L (< 1.5 mg/dL); e)ALT or AST ≤ 3 × upper limit of normal (ULN); f)Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 × ULN. Subjects with known Gilbert’s disease who have serum bilirubin < 3 × ULN may be included. 5.Subject has a body weight > 40 kg. 6.Subject has no clinically significant medical condition or physical/laboratory/ECG/vital signs abnormality that would, in the opinion of the Investigator, put the subject at undue risk or interfere with interpretation of study results. 7.Subject meets the following TB screening criteria: a) Have no history of latent or active TB before Screening, with an exception for subjects who have a history of latent TB that provide documentation of having completed appropriate treatment for latent TB before the first administration of study drug. The Investigator must verify the adequacy of previous anti-TB treatment based on current local TB treatment guidelines and provide appropriate documentation. b)Have no signs orsymptomssuggestive of active TB upon medical history and/or physical examination. c)Have had no recent close contact with a person with active TB, based on information provided by the subject. d) Have a negative QuantiFERON®-TB test result obtained during Screening prior to Day 1. -However, a QuantiFERON®-TB test is not required at Screening for subjects with a history of latent TB who have previously completed appropriate TB treatment as described above in Inclusion Criterion 7a. -A negative tuberculin skin test (as per local guidelines) may be required if the QuantiFERON®-TB test is not approved/registered in that country or the tuberculin skin test is mandated by local health authorities. If the tuberculin skin test is positive, but is suspected to be a false positive, a confirmation by a specialist will be required to exclude latent/active TB based on local guidelines. e)A subject whose first screening QuantiFERON-TB® test result is indeterminate may have the test repeated once. 8.Subject has the report from a qualified radiologist of a chest X-ray performed within 6 months before Day 1 that shows no abnormalities suggestive of a malignancy or current active or latent infection, including TB. A chest CT scan is also acceptable if already available. If not performed with 6 months before Day 1 a chest X-ray must be performed at Screening. 9.Contraceptive use by men and women should be consistent with local regulations regarding the methods of contraception for those participating in clinical studies. Contraception and pregnancy: a)A male subject who is sexually active with a female of childbearing potential and has not had a vasectomy must agree to use contraception b)Female subjects: i)A woman of childbearing potential is eligible to participate if she has a negative serum pregnancy test at Screening and a negative urine pregnancy test at Day 1 is not breastfeeding, and if heterosexually active agrees to follow the contraceptive guidance during the treatment period and for at least 6 months after receiving the study treatment,and refrains from donating oocytes for assisted reproduction during this period. The female subject’s selected form of contraception must be effective by the time the female subject enters into the study at Day 1 ii)A woman not of childbearing potential is eligible to participate if she meets the criteria 10.Subject is willing to participate and is capable of giving written informed consent 11.Subject must be willing to comply with all study procedures |

E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1.Subject has other form of psoriasis ,except plaque psoriasis not previously described. 2.Subject has an immediately life-threatening flare of GPP in the Investigator’s opinion or requires treatment in an intensive care unit.Life-threatening complications include, but are not limited to,cardiovascular/cytokine-driven shock, pulmonary distress syndrome or renal failure. 3.Subject has concomitant dermatological or medical conditions that may interfere with the Investigators’ ability to evaluate the subject’s response to therapy. 4.Subject has a positive blood screen for hepatitis C antibody and hepatitis C ribonucleic acid (RNA), antibodies to hepatitis B core antigen, hepatitis B surface antigen, or human immunodeficiency virus 1 or 2 antibodies. 5.Subject has a history of clinically significant cardiac, pulmonary, neurologic, gastrointestinal, endocrine, hematological, renal, hepatic, cerebral, autoimmune, or psychiatric disease, or other major uncontrolled disease, which puts the subject at undue risk for participation. 6.Subject has a history of chronic or recurrent infectious disease, including but not limited to upper and lower respiratory infection ,urinary tract infection. 7.Subject has a history or any evidence of an active bacterial, viral, or fungal infection (has signs and/or symptoms of the infection and/or received antibiotic, antiviral, or antifungal therapy for it) within 14 days prior to Day 1. 8.Subject has any factors that would predispose the subject to develop an infection in the Investigator’s opinion 9.Subject has a history of an opportunistic infection or parasitic infections within 3 months prior to last Screening. 10.Subject has a history of a herpes zoster infection within 2 months prior to last Screening. 11.Subject has any history of known or suspected congenital or acquired immunodeficiency state, or condition that would compromise the subject’s immune status 12.Subject had any major surgery within 4 weeks of Day 1. 13.Subject has a history of cancer or lymphoproliferative disease within 5 years prior to Day 1. Subjects with successfully treated nonmetastatic cutaneous squamous cell or basal cell carcinoma and/or localized carcinoma in situ of the cervix are not to be excluded. 14.Subject has a history of any significant drug allergy or reaction and reactivity to polysorbate-20, a component of imsidolimab formulation, or the inactive ingredients 15.Prior treatment with imsidolimab, or other anti-IL-36R antibody. 16.For subjects with prior use of the following GPP therapies or procedures, the specified washouts located in the Protocol between last dose of prohibited medication and Day 1 will apply 17.
