|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 16-week DB Period Subjects who meet eligibility criteria in the main study will be randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to receive daily oral doses of upadacitinib 15 mg (N = 270) or of upadacitinib 30 mg (N = 270) or matching placebo (N = 270). Upon completion of enrollment of 810 subjects in the main study, a supplemental study will continue to enroll adolescent subjects (adolescent sub-study) until a total of 180 adolescent subjects are enrolled in the overall study (main study + adolescent sub-study).

| 2 | Blinded Extension period of up to Week 260 At Week 16, subjects in the placebo group will be re-randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive daily oral doses of upadacitinib 15 mg or upadacitinib 30 mg during the Blinded Extension period. Subjects originally in the 15 mg QD and 30 mg QD upadacitinib group will continue their treatment into the Blinded Extension period up to the Week 260 visit. Subjects who reach Week 260 will have the opportunity to roll over to the blinded Long-term Extension (LTE) Period of Study M16-047 and continue to receive the same daily dose of upadacitinib 15 mg or 30 mg up to Week 524. Subjects who reach 65 years of age or older and are still on study drug at any visit within the Blinded Extension period (excluding the premature discontinuation visit and the final visit) will be unblinded and investigators will have the option to change the upadacitinib dose as described in Section 4.1.
