---|---|
Experimental: Open-label ustekinumab |
Drug: Ustekinumab
45 mg or 90 mg given by subcutaneous injection at Weeks 0 and 4 for all participants. Participants with an IGA score of 0 or 1 at Week 16 will also receive ustekinumab every 12 weeks (q12w) from Week 16 to Week 40. |
Experimental: Double-blind guselkumab |
Drug: Guselkumab
100 mg given by subcutaneous injection at Weeks 16 and 20 and every 8 weeks (q8w) thereafter through Week 44. Drug: Placebo for ustekinumab Subcutaneous injection at Weeks 16, 28, and 40 to maintain the blind for participants randomized to treatment with guselkumab. |

- Number of Visits at Which Participants Achieved an Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) Response of Cleared (0) or Minimal (1) and at Least a 2 Grade Improvement (From Week 16) From Week 28 Through Week 40 [ Time Frame: Week 28 through Week 40 ]The IGA documents the investigator's assessment of the participants psoriasis at a given time point. Overall lesions are graded for induration, erythema, and scaling. The participants' psoriasis was assessed as cleared (0), minimal (1), mild (2), moderate (3), or severe (4).
- Number of Visits at Which Participants Achieved a Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) 90 Response From Week 28 Through Week 40 [ Time Frame: Week 28 through Week 40 ]The PASI is a system used for assessing and grading the severity of psoriatic lesions. In the PASI system, the body is divided into 4 regions: the head, trunk, upper extremities, and lower extremities. Each of these areas were assessed separately for the percentage of the area involved, which translates to a numeric score that ranges from 0 to 6, and for erythema, induration, and scaling, which are each rated on a scale of 0 to 4. The PASI produces a numeric score that can range from 0 to 72. A higher score indicates more severe disease. A PASI 90 response represents participants who achieved at least a 90 percent improvement from baseline in the PASI score.
- Number of Visits at Which Participants Achieved an IGA Score of Cleared (0) From Week 28 Through Week 40 [ Time Frame: Week 28 through Week 40 ]The IGA documents the investigator's assessment of the participants psoriasis at a given time point. Overall lesions are graded for induration, erythema, and scaling. The participants' psoriasis was assessed as cleared (0), minimal (1), mild (2), moderate (3), or severe (4).
