-Study participant has a presence of guttate, inverse, pustular, or
erythrodermic PSO or other dermatological condition that may impact the clinical assessment of PSO
-Study participant has a history of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) or symptoms suggestive of IBD
-History of active tuberculosis unless successfully treated, latent TB unless prophylactically treated

-Study participant has an active infection or history of infections (such as serious infection, chronic infections, opportunistic infections, unusually severe infections)
-Study participant has previously received bimekizumab
-Study participant has previously received ustekinumab
-Study participant has received drugs outside the specified timeframes relative to the Baseline Visit or receives prohibited concomitant treatments

Plaque Psoriasis

[Experimental: bimekizumab]
Study participants randomized to this arm receive bimekizumab dosage regimen 1 at pre-specified timepoints during the Initial Treatment Period (16 weeks). They continue to receive bimekizumab dosage regimen 2 in the Maintenance Period (32
weeks). Under certain conditions study participants may be offered to continue on bimekizumab dosage regimen 2 in the Open-label Extension (OLE) Period (104 weeks).
[Active Comparator: ustekinumab]
Study participants randomized to this arm receive ustekinumab at pre-specified timepoints during the Initial Treatment Period (16 weeks) and during the Maintenance Period. Under certain conditions participants may switch to bimekizumab dosage regimen 1 (16 weeks) and continue with bimekizumab dosage regimen 2 in the last 16 weeks of the Maintenance Period. Under certain conditions study participants may be offered to participate in the OLE Period also receiving bimekizumab dosage regimen 2.

Not approval

Yes

Data from this study may be requested by qualified researchers six months after product approval in the US and/or Europe, or global development is discontinued, and 18 months after trial completion. Investigators may request access to anonymized IPD and redacted study documents which may include: raw datasets, analysis-ready datasets, study protocol, blank case report form, annotated case report form, statistical analysis plan, dataset specifications, and clinical study report. Prior to use of the data, proposals need to be approved by an independent review panel at www.Vivli.org and a signed data sharing agreement will need to be executed. All documents are available in English only, for a pre-specified time, typically 12 months, on a password protected portal. This plan may change if a determination is made that the data cannot be adequately anonymized.
