Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Percentage of Participants Who Achieved an American College of Rheumatology (ACR) 20 Response at Week 24

    ACR 20 response: \>=20% improvement from baseline in both swollen joint count (66 joints) and tender joint count (68 joints), and \>=20% improvement from baseline in 3 of 5 assessments: patient's assessment of pain using visual analog scale (VAS; 0-100 mm, 0=no pain and 100=worst possible pain), patient's global assessment of disease activity (arthritis, VAS; 0-100 mm, 0=excellent and 100= poor), physician's global assessment of disease activity (VAS; 0-100 mm, 0=no arthritis activity and 100=extremely active arthritis), patient's assessment of physical function measured by Disability Index of Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ-DI; 20-question instrument assessing 8 functional areas; range: 0-3, 0= no difficulty, 3= inability to perform task in that area), and CRP. Treatment Failure (TF) criteria- discontinued study drug, initiated/increased dose of non-biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) or oral corticosteroids, initiated prohibited psoriatic arthritis treatment.

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Have a diagnosis of Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA) for at least 6 months before the first administration of study agent and meet Classification criteria for Psoriatic Arthritis (CASPAR) at screening
  • Have active PsA as defined by: at least 5 swollen joints and at least 5 tender joints at screening and at baseline, and CRP greater than or equal to (\>=) 0.6 milligram per deciLitre (mg/dL) at screening from the central laboratory
  • Have at least 1 of the PsA subsets: distal interphalangeal joint involvement, polyarticular arthritis with absence of rheumatoid nodules, arthritis mutilans, asymmetric peripheral arthritis, or spondylitis with peripheral arthritis (confirmation of sacroiliitis should be performed at the screening visit by a locally performed pelvic x-ray \[single anterior-posterior view\] unless a pelvic or SI joint x-ray or pelvic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been previously performed. Results must be documented)
  • Have active plaque psoriasis, with at least one psoriatic plaque of \>= 2 centimeter (cm) diameter or nail changes consistent with psoriasis or documented history of plaque psoriasis
  • Have active PsA despite previous non-biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD), apremilast, and/or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) therapy

You may not qualify if:

  • Has other inflammatory diseases that might confound the evaluations or benefit of guselkumab therapy, including but not limited to rheumatoid arthritis (RA), axial spondyloarthritis (this does not include a primary diagnosis of PsA with spondylitis), systemic lupus erythematosus, or Lyme disease
  • Has previously received any biologic treatment
  • Has ever received tofacitinib, baricitinib, filgotinib, peficitinib (ASP015K), decernotinib (VX-509), or any other Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor
  • Has received any systemic immunosuppressants (eg, azathioprine, cyclosporine, 6 thioguanine, mercaptopurine, mycophenolate mofetil, hydroxyurea, tacrolimus) within 4 weeks of the first administration of study agent
  • Is currently receiving 2 or more non-biologic DMARDs (other than methotrexate \[MTX\], sulfasalazine \[SSZ\], Hydroxychloroquine \[HCQ\], leflunomide \[LEF\]) including, but not limited to chloroquine, gold preparations, and penicillamine within 4 weeks before the first administration of study agent
  • Has received apremilast within 4 weeks prior to the first administration of study agent
