UST / MTX Stopped
Patients weighing \<=100 kg will receive ustekinumab 45 mg (0.5 ml) by SC injection at Weeks 0, 4 and every 12 weeks until Week 40. Patients weighing \>100 kg will receive ustekinumab 90 mg (1 ml) in two SC injections. In Arm 1 patients will have immediate cessation of methotrexate therapy.
UST / MTX Gradually Withdrawn
Patients weighing \<=100 kg will receive ustekinumab 45 mg (0.5 ml) by SC injection at Weeks 0, 4 and every 12 weeks until Week 40. Patients weighing \>100 kg will receive ustekinumab 90 mg (1 ml) in two SC injections. In Arm 2 patients will have gradual reduction of methotrexate therapy.

Timeframe: at Weeks 0, 2, 4, 12, 16, 28, 40 and 52

Population: The modified intent-to-treat (mITT) analysis includes all subjects who were randomized and received at least one dose of ustekinumab, regardless of their compliance with the protocol. Subjects who dropped out after randomization and before the first administration of ustekinumab were excluded from the mITT analysis

Change from baseline in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) (0 \[best\] - 72 \[worst\]). The PASI is a test of how bad a person's psoriasis is. The combination of redness, scaling, and thickness, as well as overall body involvement determine the PASI score.
