Overview
Brief Summary
Psoriasis is a chronic disease characterized by marked inflammation and thickening of the skin that results in thick, scaly skin plaques. This study assessed how safe and effective cedirogant (ABBV-157) was compared to placebo in adult participants with moderate to severe psoriasis. Efficacy and safety-related measurements assessed disease activity in participants with plaque psoriasis.
Cedirogant (ABBV-157) is an investigational drug being developed for the treatment of chronic plaque psoriasis. Participants were put into 1 of 4 groups, called treatment arms and each group received a different treatment. There was a 1 in 4 chance that participants were assigned to placebo.
Participants received oral daily doses of cedirogant or placebo capsules for 16 weeks.
There may have been a higher burden for participants in this study compared to usual standard of care. Participants attended regular visits per routine clinical practice. The effect of the treatment was checked by medical assessments, checking for side effects, and questionnaires.

- •Diagnosis of erythrodermic psoriasis, generalized or localized pustular psoriasis, medication-induced or medication exacerbated psoriasis, or new onset guttate psoriasis or any other skin disease which may interfere with assessment of chronic plaque psoriasis.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Percentage of Participants Achieving 75% Improvement in Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI) Score (PASI 75) at Week 16
Time Frame: Baseline, Week 16
The Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) is a composite score based on the degree of effect on body surface area of psoriasis and extension of erythema (reddening), induration (thickness), desquamation (scaling) of the lesions and area affected as observed on the day of examination. The severity of each sign was assessed using a 5-point scale, where 0=no symptoms, 1=slight, 2=moderate, 3=marked, 4=very marked. The PASI score ranges from 0 to 72, where 0 indicates no psoriasis and 72 indicates very severe psoriasis. PASI 75 is defined as at least a 75% reduction in PASI score compared with the Baseline PASI score. The percent reduction in score is calculated as (PASI score at Baseline - score at follow-up visit) / PASI score at Baseline \* 100.
Secondary Outcomes
- Percentage of Participants Achieving a Static Physician Global Assessment (sPGA) Score of Clear or Almost Clear at Week 16(At Week 16)
- Percentage of Participants Achieving 100% Improvement in Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI) Score (PASI 100) at Week 16(Baseline, Week 16)
- Percentage of Participants Achieving 50% Improvement in Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI) Score (PASI 50) at Week 16(Baseline, Week 16)
- Percentage of Participants Achieving 90% Improvement in Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI) Score (PASI 90) at Week 16(Baseline, Week 16)
- Percentage of Participants Achieving Psoriasis Symptoms Scale (PSS) Total Score of 0 at Week 16 for Those With PSS >0 at Baseline(Baseline, Week 16)
- Percentage of Participants Achieving an Itch Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) ≥4-Point Improvement From Baseline at Week 16 for Participants With Itch NRS ≥4 at Baseline(Baseline, Week 16)
