Summary
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate how effective and safe the study drug known as ixekizumab is in participants with active psoriatic arthritis.
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
- Diagnosis of active inflammatory arthritic syndromes or spondyloarthropathies other than PsA
- 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
