About this study

Official title: Open-label, Randomized, Assessor-blinded, Efficacy, Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics Study of Subcutaneous Risankizumab With an Adalimumab Reference Arm in Children With Active Juvenile Psoriatic Arthritis

Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a type of arthritis that happens when the body's immune system attacks healthy cells and tissues causing joint pain, stiffness, and swelling. Symptoms can get worse and go away for periods of time. PsA that begins before a patient's 16th birthday is called juvenile PsA (jPsA).This study will evaluate how safe risankizumab is for the treatment of psoriatic arthritis and to assess change in disease symptoms.

Risankizumab is being studied for the treatment of jPsA and adalimumab is approved for the treatment of jPsA. Participants are placed in 1 of 2 groups, called treatment arms. Each group receives a different treatment. There is a 1 in 4 chance that participants will be assigned to receive adalimumab. Approximately 40 juvenile participants with jPsA will be enrolled at approximately 30 sites worldwide.

Read more

Participants will receive risankizumab and adalimumab as subcutaneous (SC) injections based on body weight. At the start of Period 1, participants are randomized to receive risankizumab or adalimumab for 24 weeks. Participants who respond to the study treatment received in Period 1, will continue to receive the same treatment in Period 2 for another 100 weeks. Those with worsening jPsA symptoms in Period 2 will be withdrawn from the study. Participants who receive adalimumab are followed for safety for 70 days after the last study treatment. Participants who receive risankizumab are followed for 140 days after the last study treatment.

There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care (due to study procedures). Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, checking for side effects and completing questionnaires.

  5. Change from Baseline in JADAS-27

    JADAS is a composite score of physician global assessment of disease activity, parent/patient global assessment of overall well-being, number of joints with active arthritis (swelling not due to deformity, or limitation of motion with pain, tenderness or both), and hsCRP. JADAS-27 includes a count of the following joints: cervical spine, elbows, wrists, metacarpophalangeal joints (from first to third), and proximal interphalangeal joints, hips, knees, and ankles.

    Measured: Up to Week 24

    Measured: Week 24

  11. Percentage of Participants with Psoriasis (PsO) who Achieve Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI) 75 in Participants with at least 3% Body Surface Area (BSA) at Baseline

    The PASI is a measure of psoriasis severity. Four anatomic sites - head, upper extremities, trunk, and lower extremities - are assessed for erythema, induration and desquamation using a 5-point scale, with a lower score indicating more mild disease.

    Measured: Up to Week 24

  12. Percentage of Participants with PsO who Achieve PASI 90 in Participants with at least 3% BSA at Baseline

    The PASI is a measure of psoriasis severity. Four anatomic sites - head, upper extremities, trunk, and lower extremities - are assessed for erythema, induration and desquamation using a 5-point scale, with a lower score indicating more mild disease.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Adalimumab and Risankizumab in people with Juvenile Psoriatic Arthritis, run by AbbVie at 34 sites in 9 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Sep 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 34 sites in United States, Poland, Canada, Germany, Italy and 4 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact ABBVIE CALL CENTER (844-663-3742, abbvieclinicaltrials@abbvie.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Percentage of Participants who Achieve >= 30% Improvement in Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis American College of Rheumatology Response Criteria (JIA-ACR 30) (time frame: Up to 24 Weeks). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 1 Sep 2026.
