Brief Summary

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

Psoriasis is a long-term skin disease which causes red, itchy, scaly patches most commonly on the knees, elbows, scalp, and torso (chest, back, and abdomen). In participants with psoriasis, certain skin cells multiply much faster and the skin can develop rough patches that may be red or white with scales. There are many types of psoriasis, but plaque psoriasis is the most common. The exact cause of psoriasis is unknown, but researchers think it may be caused by the body's immune system not working properly.

This study is designed to enroll 336 participants 18 years of age and older with have been diagnosed with moderate chronic plaque psoriasis for at least 6 months prior to Baseline (Day 1) and who have not previously been treated with a biologic treatment (natural substance that is made by using living cells in a laboratory). This is a Phase 4, randomized, open-label, assessor blinded, active comparator study with 2 Parts. Phase 4 studies test treatments that have already been approved to treat patients with a condition or disease. This study is open-label, which means that both participants and study doctors know which study treatment is given to participants

Participants will be administered subcutaneous (SC) treatment of risankizumab every 12 weeks for up to 44 weeks or provided deucravacitinib oral tablets to be taken once daily.

There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care (due to study procedures). Participants will attend regular (weekly, monthly) visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, checking for side effects and completing questionnaires.

Eligibility Criteria

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

Inclusion Criteria

* Participant with a diagnosis of chronic plaque psoriasis (PsO) with or without psoriatic arthritis, for at least 6 months prior to Baseline.
* Stable moderate chronic plaque psoriasis at both Screening and Baseline as defined as:

* Body Surface Area (BSA) ≥ 10% and ≤ 15%,
* Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) ≥ 12, and
* Static Physician Global Assessment (sPGA) = 3 (moderate) based on a 5-point scale (0 to 4).
* Participant must be a candidate for systemic therapy as assessed by the investigator
* Psoriasis inadequately controlled by topicals, phototherapy and/or systemic treatments (including, but not limited to, methotrexate, apremilast, cyclosporine A, corticosteroids, and/or cyclophosphamide)

Exclusion Criteria

* Participants with any form of PsO other than chronic plaque PsO (e.g., pustular PsO, palmoplantar pustulosis, acrodermatitis of Hallopeau, erythrodermic, or guttate PsO).
* Participants with a history of current drug-induced PsO or a drug-induced exacerbation of preexisting PsO.
* Participants with a history of active ongoing inflammatory skin diseases other than PsO (with or without PsA) that could interfere with the assessment of PsO (e.g., hyperkeratotic eczema).
* Participants with a history of severe renal insufficiency defined as creatinine clearance \< 30 mL/min and/or requiring hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis.
* Participantswith a history of clinically significant (per investigator's judgment) drug or alcohol abuse within the last 6 months.
* Participants with a history of an allergic reaction or significant sensitivity to constituents of the study drugs (and its excipients) and/or other products in the same class.
* Participants who have had major surgery performed within 12 weeks prior to randomization or planned during the conduct of the study (e.g., hip replacement, aneurysm removal, stomach ligation).
