Inclusion criteria

* In the opinion of the Investigator, the subject is expected to benefit from participation in this Open-Label Extension study * Subject completed PA0010 \[NCT03895203\] or PA0011 \[NCT03896581\] without meeting any withdrawal criteria * Female subjects must be postmenopausal, permanently sterilized or willing to use a highly effective method of contraception

Exclusion criteria

* Female subjects who plan to become pregnant during the study or within 20 weeks following the last dose of investigational medicinal product (IMP) * Subjects who meet any withdrawal criteria in PA0010 or PA0011. For any subject with an ongoing serious adverse event (SAE), or a history of serious infections (including hospitalizations) in the feeder studies, the Medical Monitor must be consulted prior to the subject's entry into PA0012, although the decision to enroll the subject remains with the Investigator * Subject has a positive or 2 indeterminate interferon gamma release assays (IGRAs) in one of the feeder studies, unless appropriately evaluated and treated

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) during the studyFrom PA0012 Entry Visit until Safety Follow-Up (up to Week 212)An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation subject administered a pharmaceutical product, which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE could therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product, whether or not related to the medicinal (investigational) product.
Incidence of treatment-emergent serious adverse events (SAEs) during the studyFrom PA0012 Entry Visit until Safety Follow-Up (up to Week 212)A serious adverse event (SAE) is any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose: * Results in death * Is life-threatening * Requires in patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization * Is a congenital anomaly or birth defect * Is an infection that requires treatment parenteral antibiotics * Other important medical events which based on medical or scientific judgement may jeopardize the patients, or may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent any of the above
