Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Presents with established diagnosis of active psoriatic arthritis (PsA) for at least 6 months, and currently meets Classification for Psoriatic Arthritis (CASPAR) criteria
  • Active PsA defined as the presence of at least 3 tender and at least 3 swollen joints
  • Presence of active psoriatic skin lesion or a history of plaque psoriasis (Ps)
  • Men must agree to use a reliable method of birth control or remain abstinent during the study
  • Women must agree to use reliable birth control or remain abstinent during the study and for at least 12 weeks after stopping treatment
  • Have been treated with 1 or more conventional disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (cDMARDs)
  • Have had prior treatment with at least 1 and not more than 2 tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors. The participant must have discontinued at least 1 TNF inhibitor due to either an inadequate response (based on a minimum of 12 weeks on therapy) or documented intolerance.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Current use of biologic agents for treatment of Ps or PsA
  • Inadequate response to greater than 2 biologic DMARDs
  • Current use of more than one cDMARDs

  • Have received treatment with interleukin (IL) -17 or IL12/23 targeted monoclonal antibody (MAb) therapy
  • Serious disorder or illness other than psoriatic arthritis
  • Serious infection within the last 3 months
  • Breastfeeding or nursing (lactating) women
