About this study

The population of people living with moderate to severe psoriasis is approximately 3.5 billion who are mostly managed with topical and conventional therapies. JNJ-77242113, investigational drug, targets the immune responses in the body and skin which impacts diseases, such as psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis and this study evaluates JNJ-77242113 as options of advanced therapies in moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. The hypothesis of this study is that an oral tablet formulation of JNJ-77242113 will result in superior efficacy compared with placebo as determined by the percentage of participants achieving Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) 75 (greater than or equal to [>=] 75 percentage [%] improvement in PASI) (PASI 75) response at Week 16. The total duration of this study is up to 24 weeks which includes a screening period of less than or equal to (<=) 4 weeks, a 16-week placebo- controlled treatment period, and a follow-up visit approximately 4 weeks after the last administration of study intervention. Safety assessments include adverse events (AEs) monitoring, clinical safety laboratory assessments, electrocardiograms (ECGs), vital signs, physical examinations, concomitant medication monitoring, pregnancy testing, Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) and tuberculosis evaluations.

Primary outcomes

  1. Percentages of Participants Who Achieved at Least 75 Percent (%) Improvement From Baseline in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI 75) Score at Week 16

    Time frame: Baseline (Week 0), Week 16

    Percentage of participants who achieved PASI-75 score (greater than or equal to [>=] 75% improvement from baseline in PASI) at Week 16 were reported. The PASI was a system used for assessing and grading the severity of psoriatic lesions and their response to therapy. In the PASI system, the body was divided into 4 regions: the head, trunk, upper extremities, and lower extremities. Each of these areas were assessed and scored separately for erythema, induration, and scaling, which were each rated on a scale of 0 to 4 (0=none, 1 = slight, 2 = moderate, 3 = severe and 4 = very severe) and extent of involvement from 0 (indicated no involvement) to 6 (90% - 100% involvement). The PASI produced a numeric total score that could range from 0 (no psoriasis) to 72 (maximum psoriasis). Higher score indicated greater severity of psoriasis. The baseline was defined as the closest measurement taken prior to or at the time of the first study drug administration date.

Secondary outcomes

    Time frame: Baseline (Week 0), Week 16

    Percentage of participants who achieved PASI-90 score (>=90% improvement from baseline in PASI) at Week 16 were reported. The PASI was a system used for assessing and grading the severity of psoriatic lesions and their response to therapy. In the PASI system, the body was divided into 4 regions: the head, trunk, upper extremities, and lower extremities. Each of these areas were assessed and scored separately for erythema, induration, and scaling, which were each rated on a scale of 0 to 4 (0=none, 1 = slight, 2 = moderate, 3 = severe and 4 = very severe) and extent of involvement from 0 (indicated no involvement) to 6 (90% - 100% involvement). The PASI produced a numeric total score that could range from 0 (no psoriasis) to 72 (maximum psoriasis). Higher score indicated greater severity of psoriasis. The baseline was defined as the closest measurement taken prior to or at the time of the first study drug administration date.

  3. Percentages of Participants Who Achieved 100% Improvement From Baseline in PASI (PASI 100) Score at Week 16

    Time frame: Baseline (Week 0), Week 16

    Percentages of participants who achieved PASI 100- score (100% improvement from baseline in PASI) at Week 16 were reported. The PASI was a system used for assessing and grading the severity of psoriatic lesions and their response to therapy. In the PASI system, the body was divided into 4 regions: the head, trunk, upper extremities, and lower extremities. Each of these areas were assessed and scored separately for erythema, induration, and scaling, which were each rated on a scale of 0 to 4 (0=none, 1 = slight, 2 = moderate, 3 = severe and 4 = very severe) and extent of involvement from 0 (indicated no involvement) to 6 (90% - 100% involvement). The PASI produced a numeric total score that could range from 0 (no psoriasis) to 72 (maximum psoriasis). Higher score indicated greater severity of psoriasis. The baseline was defined as the closest measurement taken prior to or at the time of the first study drug administration date.

  4. Percentage of Participants Who Achieved an Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) Score of Cleared (0) or Minimal (1) at Week 16

    Time frame: Week 16

    The IGA assesses participant's plaque psoriasis. Lesions were graded for induration, erythema and scaling, each using a 5 point scale. Induration: 0 = no evidence of plaque elevation, 1 = minimal plaque elevation, = 0.25 millimeters (mm); 2 = mild plaque elevation, = 0.5 mm; 3 = moderate plaque elevation, = 0.75 mm; 4 = severe plaque elevation, greater than (>)1 mm; Erythema: 0 = no evidence of erythema, hyperpigmentation may be present, 1 = faint erythema, 2 = light red coloration, 3 = moderate red coloration, 4 = bright red coloration; Scaling: 0 = no evidence of scaling, 1 = minimal; occasional fine scale over less than 5% of the lesion, 2 = mild; fine scale dominates, 3 = moderate; coarse scale predominates, 4 = severe; thick, scale predominates. Final IGA score of psoriasis was based upon the average of induration, erythema and scaling scores assessed on a 5 point scale: cleared (0), minimal (1), mild (2), moderate (3), or severe (4). A higher score indicated more severe disease.

  5. Percentages of Participants Who Achieved an IGA Score of Cleared (0) at Week 16

    Time frame: Week 16

    The IGA assesses participant's plaque psoriasis. Lesions were graded for induration, erythema and scaling, each using a 5 point scale. Induration: 0 = no evidence of plaque elevation, 1 = minimal plaque elevation, = 0.25 millimeters (mm); 2 = mild plaque elevation, = 0.5 mm; 3 = moderate plaque elevation, = 0.75 mm; 4 = severe plaque elevation, greater than (>)1 mm; Erythema: 0 = no evidence of erythema, hyperpigmentation may be present, 1 = faint erythema, 2 = light red coloration, 3 = moderate red coloration, 4 = bright red coloration; Scaling: 0 = no evidence of scaling, 1 = minimal; occasional fine scale over less than 5% of the lesion, 2 = mild; fine scale dominates, 3 = moderate; coarse scale predominates, 4 = severe; thick, scale predominates. Final IGA score of psoriasis was based upon the average of induration, erythema and scaling scores assessed on a 5 point scale: cleared (0), minimal (1), mild (2), moderate (3), or severe (4). A higher score indicated more severe disease.

  6. Percent Change From Baseline in Psoriasis-Affected Body Surface Area (BSA) at Week 16

    Time frame: Baseline (Week 0), Week 16

    Percent change from baseline in psoriasis-affected BSA at Week 16 was reported. BSA was commonly used measure of severity of skin disease. It was defined as the percentage of surface area of the body involved with the condition being assessed, (that is, plaque psoriasis). BSA was assessed using handprint method where the surface area of the participant's hand including the palm and all 5 digits was used as a guide to estimate 1% BSA. The baseline measurement was defined as the closest measurement taken prior to or at the time of the first study intervention administration date.

  7. Number of Participants With 1 or More Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)

    Time frame: From Week 0 through Week 20

    An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant administered a pharmaceutical (investigational or non-investigational) product. An AE does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the intervention. TEAE was defined as any adverse event that occurred at or after the initial administration of study intervention. Data included all TEAEs (both serious and non-serious).

  8. Number of Participants With Serious TEAEs

    Time frame: From Week 0 through Week 20

    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant administered a pharmaceutical (investigational or non-investigational) product. An AE does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the intervention. A serious adverse event (SAE) is any untoward medical occurrence at any dose that: results in death, is life threatening, require inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, or results in congenital anomaly/birth defect. TEAE was defined as any adverse event that occurs at or after the initial administration of study intervention.
