| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Ixekizumab | Experimental | A starting dose of 160 milligram (mg) of ixekizumab was given as 2 subcutaneous (SC) injections at Week 0. During the Induction Period, ixekizumab 80 mg was given every 2 weeks (Q2W) at Weeks 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12. During the Extension Period, ixekizumab 80 mg was given as 1 SC injection (Q4W) every 4 weeks at Weeks 16 and 20.
The Post Treatment Follow Up Period was for safety monitoring following the last treatment period. Receives: Drug: Ixekizumab |
| Guselkumab | Experimental | During the Induction Period, guselkumab 100 mg was given as 1 SC injection at Weeks 0, 4 and 12. 1 placebo injection (to maintain the blind) was given at Weeks 0, 2, 6, 8, and 10. During the Extension Period, guselkumab 100 mg was given at Week 20. 1 placebo injection (to maintain the blind) was given at Week 16.
The Post Treatment Follow Up Period was for safety monitoring following the last treatment period. Receives: Drug: Guselkumab; Drug: Placebo |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Percentage of Participants Achieving 100% Improvement From Baseline in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI 100)
The PASI combines assessments of the extent of body-surface involvement in 4 anatomical regions (head, trunk, arms, and legs) and the severity of desquamation (scaling), erythema, and plaque induration/infiltration (thickness) in each region, yielding an overall score of 0 for no psoriasis to 72 for the most severe disease. Participants achieving PASI 100 were defined as having an improvement of at least 100% in the PASI scores compared to baseline.
Measured: Week 12
Secondary outcomes (8)
Percentage of Participants Achieving PASI 75
The PASI combines assessments of the extent of body-surface involvement in 4 anatomical regions (head, trunk, arms, and legs) and the severity of desquamation (scaling), erythema, and plaque induration/infiltration (thickness) in each region, yielding an overall score of 0 for no psoriasis to 72 for the most severe disease. Participants achieving PASI 75 were defined as having an improvement of at least 75% in the PASI scores compared to baseline.
Measured: Week 2
Percentage of Participants Achieving PASI 90
The PASI combines assessments of the extent of body-surface involvement in 4 anatomical regions (head, trunk, arms, and legs) and the severity of desquamation (scaling), erythema, and plaque induration/infiltration (thickness) in each region, yielding an overall score of 0 for no psoriasis to 72 for the most severe disease. Participants achieving PASI 90 were defined as having an improvement of at least 90% in the PASI scores compared to baseline.
Measured: Week 4
Percentage of Participants Achieving PASI 100
The PASI combines assessments of the extent of body-surface involvement in 4 anatomical regions (head, trunk, arms, and legs) and the severity of desquamation (scaling), erythema, and plaque induration/infiltration (thickness) in each region, yielding an overall score of 0 for no psoriasis to 72 for the most severe disease.

Participants achieving PASI 90 were defined as having an improvement of at least 90% in the PASI scores compared to baseline.
Measured: Week 8
Percentage of Participants Achieving Static Physician Global Assessment (sPGA) (0)
The sPGA is a physician's determination of the participant's psoriasis lesions overall at a given time point categorized by descriptions for induration, erythema, and scaling. For the analysis of responses, the participant's psoriasis is assessed as clear (0), minimal (1), mild (2), moderate (3), severe (4), or very severe (5). An sPGA (0) response was defined as a post-baseline sPGA score of 0.
Measured: Week 12
Percentage of Participants Achieving PASI 50
The PASI combines assessments of the extent of body-surface involvement in 4 anatomical regions (head, trunk, arms, and legs) and the severity of desquamation (scaling), erythema, and plaque induration/infiltration (thickness) in each region, yielding an overall score of 0 for no psoriasis to 72 for the most severe disease. Participants achieving PASI 50 were defined as having an improvement of at least 50% in the PASI scores compared to baseline.
Measured: Week 1
Percentage of Participants Achieving PASI 100
The PASI combines assessments of the extent of body-surface involvement in 4 anatomical regions (head, trunk, arms, and legs) and the severity of desquamation (scaling), erythema, and plaque induration/infiltration (thickness) in each region, yielding an overall score of 0 for no psoriasis to 72 for the most severe disease.
