• Participants who have developed guttate, erythrodermic or pustular psoriasis or drug-induced psoriasis (as diagnosed by the investigator), during the lead-in study.
• Evidence of current or previous clinically significant disease, medical condition other than psoriasis, or finding of the medical examination (including vital signs and electrocardiography [ECG]), that in the opinion of the investigator, would compromise the safety of the participant or the quality of the data.
• Known clinically important acute or chronic infections including hepatitis, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). In regards to tuberculosis (TB), the following applies:
• Signs or symptoms suggestive of current active or latent TB upon medical history, physical examination and/or a chest radiograph (both posterior-anterior and lateral views, taken within 3 months prior to the first administration of study drug and read by a qualified radiologist).
• History of latent or active TB prior to screening, except for participants with documented completion of an adequate treatment regimen, at least 6 months prior to the first administration of study agent.
• Positive QuantiFERON-TB Gold In-Tube test (IGRA) within 2 months prior to the roll-over visit (if available), in which active TB has not been ruled out. This does not apply to participants with history of latent TB with documented completion of an adequate treatment regimen, at least 6 months prior to the first administration of study agent.
