Overview

Brief Summary

Psoriasis (PsO) is a chronic disease characterized by marked inflammation of the skin that results in thick, red, scaly plaques. This study will assess how safe and effective risankizumab is in adult participants with moderate to severe genital psoriasis or moderate to severe scalp psoriasis. Adverse events and change in disease signs and symptoms will be monitored.

Risankizumab (Skyrizi) is a drug being studied for the treatment of moderate to severe genital psoriasis or moderate to severe scalp psoriasis. Approximately 200 participants with moderate to severe genital psoriasis or moderate to severe scalp psoriasis will be enrolled across approximately 45 sites globally.

The study will be broken up into 2 studies by disease location, participants with moderate to severe genital psoriasis (Study-G) and moderate to severe scalp psoriasis (Study-S). In both studies participants will receive subcutaneous (SC) injections of risankizumab during the 52 week treatment period, or SC injections of placebo risankizumab during the 16 week treatment period followed by SC injections of risankizumab during the 36 week treatment period, with an 8-week follow-up period after the 52 week treatment period.

There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, checking for side effects and completing questionnaires.

Detailed Description

Safety and efficacy data through 22 January 2025 are included in the interim analysis, which was conducted after all participants completed Week 16 of Study-G or Study-S in Period A.

Arms & Interventions

Study-G Placebo/Risankizumab (Period B)

Participants with moderate to severe genital psoriasis received placebo for risankizumab during Period A, and 150 mg of risankizumab subcutaneously at Weeks 16, 28, and 40 during Period B.
