Overview
Brief Summary
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase II/III clinical trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of picankibart (IBI112) in patients with active psoriatic arthritis (PsA). The study consists of two stages: Phase II dose-finding (n=90) and Phase III confirmatory (n=132). Participants will receive subcutaneous (SC) injections of either picankibart (200mg) or placebo with different dosing schedules, with placebo crossover to active treatment at Week 26. The Phase II portion will identify optimal dosing for Phase III, which will confirm efficacy. The study will evaluate improvements in joint symptoms, physical function, quality of life, and skin manifestations. Primary endpoint is percentage of participants who achieved an American College of Rheumatology (ACR) 20 Response at Week 24.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Percentage of participants who achieved an American College of Rheumatology (ACR) 20 response
Time Frame: Week 26
The ACR20 response is defined as ≥20% improvement in swollen joint count (66 joints) and tender joint count (68 joints) and ≥20% improvement in 3 of following 5 assessments: participant's assessment of pain using Visual Analog Scale (VAS; 0-100 millimeter \[mm\], 0 mm=no pain and 100 mm=worst possible pain), participant's global assessment of disease activity by using VAS (scale ranges from 0 mm to 100 mm, \[0 mm= very well to 100 mm= very poor\]), physician's global assessment of disease activity using VAS (scale ranges from 0 to 100), \[0 = no arthritis to 100 = extremely active arthritis\], participant's assessment of physical function measured by Health Assessment Questionnaire-Disability Index (HAQ-DI, defined as a 20-question instrument assessing 8 functional areas. The derived HAQ-DI ranges from 0, indicating no difficulty, to 3, indicating inability to perform a task in that area) and C-reactive protein (CRP).
