Study Description

Brief Summary

Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a type of arthritis that happens when the body's immune system attacks healthy cells and tissues causing joint pain, stiffness, and swelling. Symptoms can get worse and go away for periods of time. PsA that begins before a patient's 16th birthday is called juvenile PsA (jPsA).This study will evaluate how safe risankizumab is for the treatment of psoriatic arthritis and to assess change in disease symptoms.

Risankizumab is being studied for the treatment of jPsA and adalimumab is approved for the treatment of jPsA. Participants are placed in 1 of 2 groups, called treatment arms. Each group receives a different treatment. There is a 1 in 4 chance that participants will be assigned to receive adalimumab. Approximately 40 juvenile participants with jPsA will be enrolled at approximately 30 sites worldwide.

Participants will receive risankizumab and adalimumab as subcutaneous (SC) injections based on body weight. At the start of Period 1, participants are randomized to receive risankizumab or adalimumab for 24 weeks. Participants who respond to the study treatment received in Period 1, will continue to receive the same treatment in Period 2 for another 100 weeks. Those with worsening jPsA symptoms in Period 2 will be withdrawn from the study. Participants who receive adalimumab are followed for safety for 70 days after the last study treatment. Participants who receive risankizumab are followed for 140 days after the last study treatment.

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 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.

The 6 JIA-CRVs are: PhGA, parent/patient global assessment of overall well being, no of joints with active arthritis, no of joints with limitation of motion hsCRP, and functional ability assessed using the disability index of the CHAQ-DI.
Percentage of Participants who Achieve >= 70% Improvement in Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis American College of Rheumatology Response Criteria (JIA-ACR 70) [Up to 24 Weeks]
The JIA-ACR 70 response is defined as a >= 70% improvement of at least 3 or more of the 6 JIA-CRVs without >70% worsening in more than 1 of the remaining JIA-CRVs compared with Baseline. The 6 JIA-CRVs are: PhGA, parent/patient global assessment of overall well being, no of joints with active arthritis, no of joints with limitation of motion hsCRP, and functional ability assessed using the disability index of the CHAQ-DI.
Percentage of Participants who Achieve >= 90% Improvement in Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis American College of Rheumatology Response Criteria (JIA-ACR 90) [Up to 24 Weeks]

JADAS-27 includes a count of the following joints: cervical spine, elbows, wrists, metacarpophalangeal joints (from first to third), and proximal interphalangeal joints, hips, knees, and ankles.
Change from Baseline in the Pain-Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) [Week 24]
Participants assessed their pain using a Patient's Global Assessment Pain visual analogue scale (VAS). The range is 0 to 100 with no pain being indicated by 0 and severe pain by 100.
Percentage of Participants with Psoriasis (PsO) who Achieve Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI) 75 in Participants with at least 3% Body Surface Area (BSA) at Baseline [Up to Week 24]
The PASI is a measure of psoriasis severity. Four anatomic sites - head, upper extremities, trunk, and lower extremities - are assessed for erythema, induration and desquamation using a 5-point scale, with a lower score indicating more mild disease.
Percentage of Participants with PsO who Achieve PASI 90 in Participants with at least 3% BSA at Baseline [Up to Week 24]
The PASI is a measure of psoriasis severity. Four anatomic sites - head, upper extremities, trunk, and lower extremities - are assessed for erythema, induration and desquamation using a 5-point scale, with a lower score indicating more mild disease.
Percentage of Participants with PsO who Achieve Static Physician Global Assessment of Disease Activity (sPGA) of PsO of 'Clear' (0) or Almost Clear (1) in Participants with at least 3% BSA at Baseline [Up to Week 24]
The sPGA is a 5-point score ranging from 0 to 4, based on the physician's assessment of the average thickness, erythema, and scaling of all psoriatic lesions, with a lower score indicating less body coverage.
Percentage of Participants with PsO who Achieve change from Baseline in Children's Dermatology Life Quality Index (CDLQI) in Participants with at least 3% BSA at Baseline [Up to Week 24]
The CDLQI is a 10-item questionnaire used to assess the impact of dermatologic disease symptoms and treatment on quality-of-life (QOL), with a higher score indicating greater impairment of QOL. The CDLQI has been validated for use in participants 4 to 16 years old.
