Inclusion criteria

* Have a diagnosis of plaque psoriasis (with or without concurrent psoriatic arthritis) for at least 6 months before the first administration of study drug * Have stable moderate to severe plaque psoriasis with or without psoriatic arthritis at both Screening and Baseline Visits * Be a candidate for systemic therapy for plaque psoriasis as assessed by the investigator * Be a candidate for treatment with methotrexate (MTX) according to local label

Exclusion criteria

* Subjects with non-plaque forms of psoriasis, current drug-induced psoriasis, or active ongoing inflammatory diseases other than psoriasis that might confound study evaluations according to investigator's judgment * Previous exposure to risankizumab * Previous exposure to MTX * Use of any prohibited medication or any drug considered likely to interfere with the safe conduct of the study, as assessed by the investigator * Subject has a history of clinically significant hematologic, renal, or liver disease

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Percentage of participants with Static Physician Global Assessment (sPGA) score of clear or almost clear (0, 1) at Week 28.Week 28The sPGA is the physician's current assessment of the average thickness, erythema, and scaling of all psoriatic lesions.
Percentage of participants with a ≥ 90% reduction from Baseline Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI 90) at Week 28Week 28PASI90 denotes greater than or equal to 90% improvement in PASI score. PASI provides a quantitative assessment of psoriasis disease state based on the amount of body surface area that is affected and the degree of severity of erythema, induration, and scale, weighted by body part.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Percentage of participants with Static Physician Global Assessment (sPGA) score of clear (0) at Week 28Week 28The sPGA is the physician's current assessment of the average thickness, erythema, and scaling of all psoriatic lesions.
Percentage of participants with a 100% reduction from Baseline PASI score (PASI 100) at Week 28Week 28PASI100 denotes greater than or equal to 100% improvement in PASI score. PASI provides a quantitative assessment of psoriasis disease state based on the amount of body surface area that is affected and the degree of severity of erythema, induration, and scale, weighted by body part.
Achievement of an increase of 0.1 or more points from baseline in European Quality of Life 5 Dimensions (EQ-5D-5L) at all visitsWeek 28The EQ-5D-5L has five dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. These dimensions are measured on a five-level scale: no problems, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems, and extreme problems.
Change from baseline in EQ-5D-5L at all visits collectedWeek 28The EQ-5D-5L is a standardized non-disease specific instrument for describing and valuing health-related quality of life.
Percentage of participants with a ≥ 75% reduction from Baseline PASI score (PASI 75) at Week 28Week 28PASI75 denotes greater than or equal to 75% improvement in PASI score. PASI provides a quantitative assessment of psoriasis disease state based on the amount of body surface area that is affected and the degree of severity of erythema, induration, and scale, weighted by body part.
