- Be a candidate for phototherapy or systemic treatment of plaque psoriasis (either naive or history of previous treatment)
- Have plaque psoriasis considered by the investigator as inadequately controlled with phototherapy and/or topical therapy after an adequate dose and duration of therapy
- Be considered, in the opinion of the investigator, a suitable candidate for etanercept therapy, according to their country's approved Enbrel product labeling
- Be otherwise healthy on the basis of physical examination, medical history, and vital signs performed at screening. Any abnormalities, must be consistent with the underlying illness in the study population and this determination must be recorded in the participant's source documents and initialed by the investigator

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Part 1: Percentage of Participants Who Achieved an Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) Score of Cleared (0) or Minimal (1) at Week 16 At Week 16 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.
Part 1: Percentage of Participants Who Achieved Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) 75 Response at Week 16 At Week 16 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 was assessed separately for the percentage of the area involved, which translates to a numeric score that ranges from 0 (indicates no involvement) to 6 (90 percent \[%\] to 100% involvement), and for erythema, induration, and scaling, which are each rated on a scale of 0 (none) to 4 (severe). The PASI produced a numeric score that can range from 0 (no visible skin involvement) to 72 (maximal skin involvement of the whole body). A higher score indicated more severe disease. A PASI 75 response represented participants who achieved at least a 75 % improvement from baseline in the PASI score.

Part 1: Change From Baseline in Children's Dermatology Life Quality Index (CDLQI) Score at Week 16 Baseline and Week 16 CDLQI is a 10-item questionnaire that measures the impact of skin disease on children's quality of life. Each question was evaluated on a 4-point scale ranging from 0 (not at all) to 3 (very much); where higher scores indicate more impact on quality of life. CDLQI total score was the sum of individual scores of questions 1-10 and ranged from 0 (not at all) to 30 (very much). Higher scores indicated more impact on quality of life of children.

Each item had a four-point response option, where Not at all/Not relevant = 0; A little = 1; Quite a lot = 2; and Very much = 3. The scores of individual items (0-3) were added to give a total scale score that ranged from 0 to 30; a higher score indicated greater impairment of QoL.
Part 2: Percentage of Participants With Family Dermatology Life Quality Index (FDLQI) of 0 or 1 Through Week 52 Among Participants With a Baseline FDLQI >1 Weeks 8, 16, 28, 36, and 52 The FDLQI was a 10-item questionnaire that examine the impact of participant's skin disease on different aspects of their QoL (example, emotional, physical well-being, relationships, social life, leisure activities, burden of care, job/study, housework and expenditure) over the last 1 month, as assessed by a family member/partner. Each item had a four-point response option, where Not at all/Not relevant = 0; A little = 1; Quite a lot = 2; and Very much = 3. The scores of individual items (0-3) were added to give a total scale score that ranged from 0 to 30; a higher score indicates greater impairment of QoL.
Part 1: Change From Baseline in FDLQI Score at Week 16 Baseline and Week 16 The FDLQI was a 10-item questionnaire that examined the impact of participant's skin disease on different aspects of their QoL (example, emotional, physical well-being, relationships, social life, leisure activities, burden of care, job/study, housework and expenditure) over the last 1 month, as assessed by a family member/partner. Each item had a four-point response option, where Not at all/Not relevant = 0; A little = 1; Quite a lot = 2; and Very much = 3. The scores of individual items (0-3) are added to give a total scale score that ranged from 0 to 30; a higher score indicates greater impairment of QoL.
Part 2: Change From Baseline in FDLQI Score Through Week 52 Baseline, Weeks 8, 16, 28, 36, and 52 The FDLQI was a 10-item questionnaire that examine the impact of participant's skin disease on different aspects of their QoL (example, emotional, physical well-being, relationships, social life, leisure activities, burden of care, job/study, housework and expenditure) over the last 1 month, as assessed by a family member/partner. Each item had a four-point response option, where Not at all/Not relevant = 0; A little = 1; Quite a lot = 2; and Very much = 3. The scores of individual items (0-3) are added to give a total scale score that ranged from 0 to 30; a higher score indicated greater impairment of QoL.
Part 1: Change From Baseline in Body Surface Area (BSA) With Psoriasis Skin Involvement at Week 16 Baseline and Week 16 Change from baseline in percent body surface area with psoriasis skin involvement was reported. BSA as physical measure to define disease severity is to determine how much of the BSA is affected by psoriasis. Involved BSA is calculated by using the palm of the participant's hand as equivalent to 1% of the BSA (rule of palm). Psoriasis affected BSA under 5% suggests mild psoriasis, a BSA of 5% to 10% is considered moderate, and an involved BSA of over 10% indicates severe psoriasis.
Parts 2: Change From Baseline in BSA With Psoriasis Skin Involvement Over Time Through Week 52 Baseline, Weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 28, 36, 44, and 52 Change from baseline in percent body surface area with psoriasis skin involvement was reported. BSA as physical measure to define disease severity is to determine how much of the BSA is affected by psoriasis. Involved BSA is calculated by using the palm of the participant's hand as equivalent to 1% of the BSA (rule of palm). Psoriasis affected BSA under 5% suggests mild psoriasis, a BSA of 5% to 10% is considered moderate, and an involved BSA of over 10% indicates severe psoriasis.
LTE Phase: Percentage of Participants Who Achieved PASI Responses (PASI 50, 75, 90, and 100) Over Time From Week 52 to End of the study (EOS) (December 2026) LTE Phase: Percentage of Participants Who Achieved IGA Score of (Cleared [0], Cleared [0] or Minimal [1], Mild or Better [<=2] Over Time From Week 52 to EOS (December 2026) LTE Phase: Percent Improvement From Baseline in PASI Over Time From Week 52 to EOS (December 2026) LTE Phase: Change From Baseline in BSA With Psoriasis Skin Involvement Over Time From Week 52 to EOS (Dec 2026) LTE Phase: Percentage of Participants Who Achieved PASI Responses (PASI 50, 75, 90,and 100) at Weeks 60 and 84 After Retreatment Among Guselkumab Participants Who Were Withdrawn From Guselkumab at Week 16 and Retreated Upon Loss of Response or at Week 52 Week 60 and Week 84 LTE Phase: Percentage of Participants Who Achieved IGA Score of (Cleared [0], Cleared [0] or Minimal [1], Mild or Better [<=2] at Weeks 60 and 84 After Retreatment Week 60 and Week 84
