A Study of JNJ-77242113 in Participants With Moderate-to-severe Plaque Psoriasis

Percentage of participants who achieved PASI-75 score (greater than or equal to \[\>=\] 75% improvement from baseline in PASI) at Week 16 was 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.

Time frame: Baseline (Week 0), Week 16

Population: Full analysis set (FAS) included all randomized participants who received at least 1 administration of study intervention.

A 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 hand print 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 was defined as the closest measurement taken prior to or at the time of the first study drug administration date.

Time frame: Baseline (Week 0) and Week 16

Population: FAS included all randomized participants who received at least 1 administration of study intervention. Here 'N' (overall number of participants analyzed) refers to the number of participants evaluable for this outcome measure.

PROMIS-29, 29-item generic HRQoL survey, assesses each 7 PROMIS domains (depression; anxiety; physical function; pain interference; fatigue; sleep disturbance; ability to participate in social roles and activities) with 4 questions and pain intensity. Questions ranked on 5-point Likert Scale (1=never, 2=rarely, 3=sometimes, 4=often and 5=always). Pain intensity was rated on 11-point scale (0=no pain; 10=worst imaginable pain). Higher score= worst pain. Each domain included 4 items, plus a single pain intensity item totaling 29 items. Raw score of each PROMIS domain was converted into a standardized score with mean of 50; standard deviation (SD) of 10 (T-Score). Higher PROMIS T-score=more of concept being measured i.e. higher scores in anxiety, depression, fatigue, pain interference, sleep disturbance= worse symptoms, higher scores in physical function, social roles= better functioning. Baseline: closest measurement taken prior to/at the time of first study drug administration date.

Change from baseline in PSSD symptoms scores at Week 16 was reported. PSSD was a patient-reported outcome (PRO) questionnaire designed to measure severity of psoriasis symptoms and signs for the assessment of treatment benefit. PSSD was a self-administered PRO instrument that included 11 items covering symptoms (itch, pain, stinging, burning and skin tightness) and participant observable signs (skin dryness, cracking, scaling, shedding or flaking, redness and bleeding) using 0 to 10 numerical rating scales for severity. Items were averaged on the daily symptom score when at least 3 items (\>=50 percentage of 5 items) on these scales are answered. The average value was converted into 0-100 scoring, such that symptom score = average value\*10, where, 0= least severe and 100= most severe. Higher score indicated more severe disease. The baseline was defined as the closest measurement taken prior to or at the time of the first study drug administration date.

An adverse event (AE) was any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation where participants administered a product or medical device; the event needed not necessarily have a causal relationship with the treatment or usage. A serious adverse event (SAE) was any untoward medical occurrence at any dose that: resulted in death, was life threatening, required inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, or resulted in congenital anomaly/birth defect. TEAE was defined as any event that occurred at or after the initial administration of study agent.

Time frame: From Week 0 through Week 20

The DLQI was a dermatology specific health-related quality of life (HRQoL) instrument designed to assess the impact of the disease on a participant's HRQoL. It was a 10-item questionnaire that assesses HRQoL over the past week and in addition to evaluating overall HRQoL, could be used to assess 6 different aspects that may affect quality of life: symptoms and feelings, daily activities, leisure, work or school performance, personal relationships, and treatment. Each question was scored on a 4-point scale of 0 to 3 (0 = not at all, 1 = a little; 2 = a lot; or 3 = very much, where higher score indicated more impact on QoL). The total score was sum of scores from all 10 questions and it ranged from 0 (not at all) to 30 (very much), with a higher score indicating greater impact on HRQoL. The baseline was defined as the closest measurement taken prior to or at the time of the first study drug administration date.

Time frame: Baseline (Week 0), Week 16

Population: Analysis population included all randomized participants who received at least 1 administration of study intervention and had baseline DLQI score \>1.

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 mm; 2 = mild plaque elevation, = 0.5 mm; 3 = moderate plaque elevation, = 0.75 mm; 4 = severe plaque elevation, \>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.

Time frame: At Week 16

Population: FAS included all randomized participants who received at least 1 administration of study intervention.

The PSSD was a PRO questionnaire designed to measure the severity of psoriasis symptoms and signs for the assessment of treatment benefit. PSSD was a self-administered PRO instrument that included 11 items covering symptoms (itch, pain, stinging, burning and skin tightness) and participant observable signs (skin dryness, cracking, scaling, shedding or flaking, redness and bleeding) using 0 to 10 numerical rating scales for severity. Items were averaged on the daily sign score when at least 3 items (\>=50 percentage of 6 items) on these scales are answered. The average value was converted into 0-100 scoring, such that sign score = average value\*10, where, 0= least severe and 100= most severe. Higher score indicated more severe disease. The baseline was defined as the closest measurement taken prior to or at the time of the first study drug administration date.
