Brief summary

Psoriasis is a chronic, systemic, inflammatory disease in which skin cells build up and develop thick, red and white scaly patches on the skin. There is an unmet medical need for effective treatment in pediatric patients and this study is being done to evaluate risankizumab in pediatric participants with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. This study will assess the change in disease symptoms. Risankizumab is a drug being studied for the treatment for plaque psoriasis in pediatric participants. This study has 4 parts. Part 1: Participants aged 12 \< 18 will receive a fixed dose of risankizumab. Part 2: Participants aged 12 \< 18 will receive; * Period A: Risankizumab or ustekinumab based on body weight followed by; * Period B: Risankizumab or no treatment. * Period C: Re-treatment with risankizumab (if needed). Part 3: Participants aged 6 \< 12 will receive risankizumab based on body weight. Part 4: Participants aged 6 \< 12 will receive risankizumab based on body weight (Japan only: Participants aged 12 \> 18 will receive risankizumab based on body weight). Around 132 participants will be enrolled in approximately 50 sites worldwide. Risankizumab and ustekinumab are given as a subcutaneous (under the skin) injection. Parts 1, 3, and 4: Risankizumab for 40 weeks with a follow-up call 20 weeks later for a study duration of approximately 65 weeks. Part 2: * Period A: Risankizumab or ustekinumab for 16 weeks. * Period B: Risankizumab or no treatment for 36 weeks. * Period C: Re-treatment with risankizumab for 16 weeks. Follow-up call 20 weeks later for a study duration of approximately 81 weeks. Participants from each Part who meet eligibility criteria for an open-label extension (OLE) study may continue on risankizumab for 216 additional weeks. There may be a higher burden for study participants compared to standard treatment. Participants will attend monthly visits and medical assessments will check the effect of treatment through blood tests, questionnaires, and checking for side effects.

Inclusion criteria

* Diagnosis of chronic plaque psoriasis for at least 6 months before the Baseline Visit. * Stable severe or moderate to severe plaque psoriasis as defined in each study part by body surface area (BSA) psoriasis involvement and scores on the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) and Static Physician Global Assessment (sPGA). * Candidate for systemic therapy as assessed by the investigator and meet the disease activity criteria at both the Screening and Baseline Visits per the protocol.

Exclusion criteria

\- Concurrent clinically significant medical conditions other than the indication being studied or any other reason that the investigator determines would interfere with the participant's participation in this study, would make the participant an unsuitable candidate to receive study drug, or would put the participant at risk by participating in the study.

Pre-assignment details

The CDLQI items include symptoms and feelings, daily activities, leisure, school, relationships, sleep, and treatment. Each item was scored on a 4-point scale: 0 = not at all; 1 = only a little; 2 = quite a lot; and 3 = very much. Item scores (0 to 3) were added to provide a total score range of 0 to 30 with higher scores representing greater impairment of QOL and worse outcomes. A negative change from baseline score indicated a reduced impairment of QOL.

The itch NRS is an 11-point scale that participants complete to describe the intensity of their itch within a 24-hour recall period. The itch NRS scale scores varies between 0, representing no itching and 10, representing worst itch imaginable with higher scores representing worse outcomes. Data are reported for the percentage of participants achieving \>= 4 point improvement in the itch NRS in participants with a baseline itch NRS score of \>=4.

Time frame: Baseline (Week 0) to Week 16 of initial treatment in Part 2 (Period A)

Population: The Intent to Treat (ITT) Population included all enrolled participants from Parts 1, 3, and 4, and all randomized participants from Part 2. Here, Overall Number of Participants Analyzed is the number of participants evaluable for this outcome measure in Part 2 Period A only.

Percentage of Participants Achieving PASI 100 (Defined as at Least 100% Improvement in PASI)

The PASI is used to evaluate a participant's overall psoriasis disease state that includes the percent of surface area of skin that is affected and the severity of erythema, induration, and desquamation over four body regions (head, upper extremities, trunk, and lower extremities). Scores range from 0 to 72, with the highest score representing the worst outcome (complete erythroderma of the severest degree). Data are reported for the percentage of participants achieving at least a 100% improvement in PASI.
