Safe and effective self-injection was evaluated by the study personnel and was defined as: - Complete dose delivery: Participant self-injected the complete dose of bimekizumab as confirmed by a visual inspection of the bimekizumab-safety syringe (SS) or the bimekizumab-auto-injector (AI) which shows that the investigational medicinal product (IMP) was delivered completely (ie, container is empty), and - No Adverse Device Effects (ADEs) that would preclude continued use of the device for self-injection (ie, no serious ADEs (SADEs) and/or ADEs leading to withdrawal).

Time frame: Week 8

Population: The Full Analysis Set for device presentation bimekizumab-SS-1mL (FAS-s-1mL) and bimekizumab-AI-1mL (FAS-a-1mL) consisted of all study participants in the SS-s-1mL and SS-a-1mL who self-injected at least 1 dose of bimekizumab using the given device presentation and who had an assessment of self-injection.
