Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Change From Baseline in Palmoplantar Pustulosis Area and Severity Index (PPPASI) Total Score at Week 16
PPPASI assesses severity of palmoplantar pustulosis (PPP) lesions and response to therapy. In PPPASI, palms, soles are divided into 4 regions: right palm(RP), left palm(LP), right sole(RS), left sole(LS), that account for 20 percent (%), 20%,30%,30%, respectively, of total surface area(TSA) of palms, soles. Each area is assessed separately for erythema(E), pustules/vesicles (P), desquamation/scales (D), each rated on a scale (0-4). PPPASI produces score range of 0-72 using formula, PPPASI=(E+P+D)Area*0.2(RP)+(E+P+D)Area*0.2 (LP)+(E+P+D)Area*0.3(RS)+(E+P+D)Area*0.3(LS). Higher a score more the severe disease. Participants who discontinue study agent as they met treatment failure(TF) criterion(lack of efficacy/AE of worsening of PPP/who started a protocol-prohibited medication/therapy that could improve PPP), their baseline value carried forward to post baseline attending visits before and at Week 16 and after TF were applied, remaining missing data were handled with LOCF till Week 60.

Change From Baseline in the EuroQOL-5 Dimensions Questionnaire Visual Analogue Scale (EQ-5D VAS) Score
EQ-5D is designed for self-completion by participants and consists of EQ-5D descriptive system and the EQ visual analog scale (EQ VAS). The EQ-5D descriptive system comprises of 5 dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. Each dimension has 5 levels: no problems, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems and unable. The EQ VAS records the respondent's self-rated health on a vertical, VAS where the endpoints are labeled 'Best imaginable health state' (score of 100) and 'Worst imaginable health state' (score of 0). Participants were analyzed according to the treatment at week 0 or 16. Participants who discontinue study agent as they met a TF criterion their baseline value carried forward to the post-baseline attending visits before and at week 16 and after TF were applied, remaining missing data were handled with LOCF till Week 60.

Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of guselkumab for the treatment of participants with palmoplantar pustulosis.
Detailed Description
This is a phase 3, randomized (study drug assigned by chance), double-blind (neither physician nor participant knows the name of the assigned drug), multicenter (when more than one hospital works on a medical research study) placebo-controlled (an inactive substance that is compared with a medication to test whether the medication has a real effect in a clinical study) study in participants with palmoplantar pustulosis. The study will consist of 3 phases: screening phase (up to 6 weeks), treatment period (week 0 - week 60) and observational period (up to week 84). Participants will be assigned to 1 of 3 treatment groups (200 milligram [mg] guselkumab, 100 mg guselkumab or placebo group) using a stratified block randomization method in a 1:1:1 ratio at Week 0 and Group III (placebo) participants will be allocated in a 1:1 ratio to 1 of 2 treatment groups at Week 16. Participants will primarily be assessed for change from baseline in Palmo-Plantar Pustular Area and Severity Index (PPPASI) total score at Week 16. Safety will be monitored throughout the study.

Change From Baseline in the 36-Item Short-Form Health Assessment Questionnaire (SF-36) Physical Component Summary (PCS) Score
Description
SF-36 consists of 8 individual domains, which are weighted sums of questions in their section. 8 domains are: vitality(VT), physical functioning(PF), bodily pain(BP), general health(GH), Role-Physical(RP), Role-Emotional(RE), social functioning(SF) and mental health(MH). Each of these 8 scales (domains) is scored from 0 to 100 with higher scores indicating better health. Based on scale scores, summary PCS is derived. Scales contributing most to the scoring of the SF-36 PCS include PF,RP,BP and GH. Other domains not noted contribute to scoring but to a lesser degree. Scoring is derived based on an algorithm as presented in Japanese edition manual. Summary PCS score is also scaled from 0 to 100 with higher scores indicating better health. Participants who discontinue study agent as they met a TF criterion, their baseline value carried forward to post-baseline attending visits before and at week 16 and after TF were applied, remaining missing data were handled with LOCF till Week 60.
