Brief summary

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and immunogenicity of ABP 654 compared with ustekinumab in participants with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.

Detailed description

This is a multicenter study and will enroll approximately 542 participants. The total duration of study participation for each participant will be 56 weeks, with up to 4 weeks for screening, and for 52 weeks after the first administration of either ABP 654 or ustekinumab. After confirmation of eligibility, all participants will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio into 2 treatment groups (Group A will receive ABP 654, and Group B will receive ustekinumab) stratified by prior biologic use for psoriasis (yes versus \[vs\] no), geographic region, and baseline body weight (BW). Based on the psoriasis area and severity index (PASI) score (to determine better improvement or partial improvement) at week 28, the participants in the study will proceed as follows: 1. Participants who do not achieve PASI 50 response or better improvement at Week 28 will be considered to have completed the study and will complete end of study procedures (ie, week 52 procedures), and those unable to complete week 28 visit, or did not have a PASI assessment completed, will be discontinued from the study. 2. Participants who achieve PASI 75 response or better improvement will continue on the study and will be re-randomized in a blinded fashion such that participants initially randomized to Group A (ABP 654) will continue to receive ABP 654 and those in Group B (ustekinumab) will re-randomized, to either continue on ustekinumab (Treatment Group B1) or switch to ABP 654 (Treatment Group B2). 3. Participants with PASI 50 response or better but less than PASI 75 response and on the Investigator's decision, participants will continue on the originally assigned treatment with dose intensification and will not be re-randomized. However, participants that do not dose intensify will be re-randomized.

Interventions

PASI Percent Change From Baseline to Week 12Baseline (Day 1 [Week 0]) and Week 12The PASI is a measure of the average redness (erythema), thickness (induration), and scaliness (scaling; each graded on a 0-4 scale \[0 = clear; 1-4 = increasing severity\]) of the lesions, weighted by the area of involvement in the four main body areas (i.e., head, arms, trunk to groin, and legs to top of buttocks). The PASI score ranges from 0 to 72. Higher scores represent worse symptom severity.

PASI Percent Change From Baseline to Week 12

The PASI is a measure of the average redness (erythema), thickness (induration), and scaliness (scaling; each graded on a 0-4 scale \[0 = clear; 1-4 = increasing severity\]) of the lesions, weighted by the area of involvement in the four main body areas (i.e., head, arms, trunk to groin, and legs to top of buttocks). The PASI score ranges from 0 to 72. Higher scores represent worse symptom severity.

PASI Percent Change at Other Timepoints

The PASI is a measure of the average redness (erythema), thickness (induration), and scaliness (scaling; each graded on a 0-4 scale \[0 = clear; 1-4 = increasing severity\]) of the lesions, weighted by the area of involvement in the four main body areas (i.e., head, arms, trunk to groin, and legs to top of buttocks). The PASI score ranges from 0 to 72. Higher scores represent worse symptom severity.

Percentage of Participants With PASI 100 Response Throughout the Study

Reduction in disease was measured by PASI score. The PASI 100 response is a 100% improvement (reduction in disease \[PASI 100\]) from baseline in PASI score. The PASI is a measure of the average redness (erythema), thickness (induration), and scaliness (scaling; each graded on a 0-4 scale \[0 = clear; 1-4 = increasing severity\]) of the lesions, weighted by the area of involvement in the four main body areas (i.e., head, arms, trunk to groin, and legs to top of buttocks). The PASI score ranges from 0 to 72. Higher scores represent worse symptom severity.

Time frame: Baseline (Day 1 [Week 0]), Weeks 4, 16, 28, 36 (dose intensification only), 40 (re-randomized FAS only), 44 (dose intensification only) and Week 52 (EOS)

Population: Through Week 28 FAS results are presented for the FAS with available data; NRI was used. Post Week 28 results are presented for dose intensification participants with available observed data and re-randomized FAS participants with available data (NRI was used).

Reduction in disease was measured by PASI score. The PASI 75 response is a 75% or greater improvement (reduction in disease \[PASI 75\]) from baseline in PASI score. The PASI is a measure of the average redness (erythema), thickness (induration), and scaliness (scaling; each graded on a 0-4 scale \[0 = clear; 1-4 = increasing severity\]) of the lesions, weighted by the area of involvement in the four main body areas (i.e., head, arms, trunk to groin, and legs to top of buttocks).

Percentage of Participants With sPGA Responses (0/1) at Week 12 and Week 52

The sPGA is a 6-point scale ranging from 0 (clear) to 5 (very severe) used to measure the severity of disease (induration, scaling, and erythema). A sPGA response was defined as a sPGA value of clear (score 0) or almost clear (score 1). Higher scores represent worse symptom severity.

Time frame: Week 12 and Week 52 (EOS)

Population: Week 12 results are presented for the FAS with available data; NRI was used. Week 52 results are presented for dose intensification participants with available data and re-randomized FAS participants with available data (NRI was used).
