Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Psoriasis (PsO) is a chronic disease characterized by marked inflammation of the skin that results in thick, red, scaly plaques. This study will assess how safe and effective risankizumab is compared to apremilast in adult participants with moderate plaque psoriasis. Adverse events and change in disease symptoms will be monitored.

Risankizumab (Skyrizi) and apremilast are approved drugs for the treatment of moderate to severe PsO. Approximately 330 participants with moderate plaque psoriasis (PsO) will be enrolled across approximately 55 sites globally.

The study has 2 periods : Period A from Baseline to Week 16, and Period B, from Week 16 to Week 52. In Period A, participants will be randomly placed into 2 groups to receive either subcutaneous risankizumab or oral apremilast for 16 weeks. In Period B, participants who received apremilast in Period A will again be randomly assigned to 1 of the 2 groups to receive either risankizumab or apremilast for 36 weeks. At weeks 28 and 40, participants considered non-responders to apremilast based on their psoriasis score will be offered to receive risankizumab.

There may be a higher burden for participants in this study compared to usual standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits per routine clinical practice. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, checking for side effects, and questionnaires.

Risankizumab

Risankizumab 150 mg as a single subcutaneous (SC) injection at at Baseline (Day 1) and Week 4 (Period A) and at Weeks 16, 28, and 40 (Period B).

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Risankizumab

Intervention Type DRUG

Subcutaneous injection

Apremilast

Participants receive apremilast 30 mg orally twice daily (BID) in Period A and re-randomized to receive either risankizumab 150 mg as a single SC injection at Weeks 16, 20, 32 in Period B or apremilast 30 mg orally BID from Week 16 up to Week 52 in Period B. For those taking apremilast in Period B, non-responders at Week 28 and Week 40 will be offered to receive risankizumab as rescue medication.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

\- Candidates for systemic therapy with moderate chronic plaque psoriasis (PsO) (with or without psoriatic arthritis) at Screening and Baseline for at least 6 months prior to Baseline defined as:

* Body Surface Area (BSA) \>= 10% and \<= 15%; and
* Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) \>= 12; and
* Static Physician Global Assessment (sPGA) = 3 (moderate) based on a 5-point scale (0 to 4).

Exclusion Criteria

* Participant has any form of PsO other than chronic plaque PsO (e.g., pustular PsO, palmoplantar pustulosis, acrodermatitis of Hallopeau, erythrodermic, or guttate PsO).
* History of current drug-induced PsO or a drug-induced exacerbation of pre-existing psoriasis.
* History of active ongoing inflammatory skin diseases other than PsO and psoriatic arthritis that could interfere with the assessment of PsO (e.g., hyperkeratotic eczema).
* Prior exposure to risankizumab or apremilast.
