Arm Description
Participants randomized to receive open-label risankizumab 150 mg by subcutaneous injection at Weeks 0, 4, and 16.
Participants randomized to receive open-label Fumaderm 30 mg administered as a tablet orally once daily from Week 0 to Week 2 and then up to 240 mg, 3 times daily from Week 3 to Week 24 if 90% Improvement in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI90) is not achieved and if tolerability allows.
Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
Percentage of Participants Achieving 90% Improvement in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI90) at Week 24
The Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) is a composite score based on the degree of effect on body surface area of psoriasis and the extension of erythema (reddening), induration (thickness), desquamation (scaling) of the lesions and area affected as observed on the day of examination. The severity of each sign was assessed using a 5-point scale, where 0=no symptoms, 1=slight, 2=moderate, 3=marked, 4=very marked. The PASI score ranges from 0 to 72, where 0 indicates no psoriasis and 72 indicates very severe psoriasis. PASI90 is defined as at least a 90% reduction in PASI score compared with the Baseline PASI score. The percent reduction in score is calculated as (PASI score at Baseline - score at follow-up visit) / PASI score at Baseline * 100. Non-responder imputation (NRI) was used for missing data.

Summary of Patient Benefit Index (PBI) at Week 16
The PBI is a patient-reported outcome instrument that assesses the benefit of psoriasis treatment.The PBI assessment consists of 2 steps: before treatment, every participant defines his/her treatment needs according to a standardized list (Patient Needs Questionnaire [PNQ]). After treatment, the participant rates the degree of benefits achieved (Patient Benefits Questionnaire [PBQ]). 25 items are rated on a 5-point scale with values from 0 (not at all) to 4 (very), allowing for "did not apply to me" (5) and missing. For each treatment goal the PNQ importance is derived by dividing the respective PNQ item by the sum of all PNQ items. The weighted sum of each PBQ item with its respective PNQ importance yields the PBI score. An increase in PBI indicates improvement. LOCF imputation was used for missing data.

Percentage of Participants Achieving Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) Score of 0 or 1 at Week 16
The DLQI is a 10-question questionnaire that asks the participant to evaluate the degree that psoriasis has affected their quality of life in the last week and includes 6 domains (symptoms and feelings, daily activities, leisure, work and school, personal relationships, and treatment). Responses to each domain are not relevant (0), not at all (0), a little (1), a lot (2), and very much (3).

5. Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of subcutaneous (SC) risankizumab and oral FUMADERM provided as study medication in participants with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis who are naïve to and candidates for systemic therapy.
Detailed Description
The efficacy analysis was performed in the Intent to Treat (ITT) set which included all participants who were randomized. The safety analysis was performed in the safety set which included all participants who received at least one dose of study drug. No participants were excluded from the efficacy analysis. Three participants in the FUMADERM® group discontinued after randomization prior to receiving any study drug and were thus not included in the safety set.

Primary Outcome Measure Information:
Title
Percentage of Participants Achieving 90% Improvement in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI90) at Week 24
Description
The Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) is a composite score based on the degree of effect on body surface area of psoriasis and the extension of erythema (reddening), induration (thickness), desquamation (scaling) of the lesions and area affected as observed on the day of examination. The severity of each sign was assessed using a 5-point scale, where 0=no symptoms, 1=slight, 2=moderate, 3=marked, 4=very marked. The PASI score ranges from 0 to 72, where 0 indicates no psoriasis and 72 indicates very severe psoriasis. PASI90 is defined as at least a 90% reduction in PASI score compared with the Baseline PASI score. The percent reduction in score is calculated as (PASI score at Baseline - score at follow-up visit) / PASI score at Baseline * 100. Non-responder imputation (NRI) was used for missing data.

Summary of Patient Benefit Index (PBI) at Week 16
Description
The PBI is a patient-reported outcome instrument that assesses the benefit of psoriasis treatment.The PBI assessment consists of 2 steps: before treatment, every participant defines his/her treatment needs according to a standardized list (Patient Needs Questionnaire [PNQ]). After treatment, the participant rates the degree of benefits achieved (Patient Benefits Questionnaire [PBQ]). 25 items are rated on a 5-point scale with values from 0 (not at all) to 4 (very), allowing for "did not apply to me" (5) and missing. For each treatment goal the PNQ importance is derived by dividing the respective PNQ item by the sum of all PNQ items. The weighted sum of each PBQ item with its respective PNQ importance yields the PBI score. An increase in PBI indicates improvement. LOCF imputation was used for missing data.

The NAPPA-CLIN is an investigator assessment used to assess the severity of nail matrix psoriasis (leukonychia, red spots, dots, nail plate crumbling) and psoriasis of the nail bed (oil drop, splinter haemorrhage, subungual hyperkeratosis, onycholysis). NAPPA-CLIN has been developed from the Nail Psoriasis Severity Index (NAPSI) score, a nail psoriasis-specific score, which in its original version comprises the assessment of matrix and nail bed involvement in every finger and toe by 2 criteria for each nail. The NAPPA-CLIN is a simplified version of the NAPSI which only assesses the least and the worst involved nail of both hands or both feet respectively. Thus, the NAPPA-CLIN scores for hands or feet range from 0 to 16. A higher score indicates a worse involvement. LOCF imputation was used for missing data.

Each dimension comprises 5 levels with corresponding numeric scores, where 1 indicates no problems, and 5 indicates extreme problems. A unique EQ-5D-5L health state is defined by combining the numeric level scores for each of the 5 dimensions and the total score is normalized from -0.594 to 1.000, with higher scores representing a better health state.

Description
The NAPSI score is calculated by summing the scores of all the nails which for each nail are the sum of the nail matrix score and nail bed score. Each of these is scored as 0=none, 1=present in 1/4 nail, 2=present in 2/4 nail, 3=present in 3/4 nail, 4=present in 4/4 nail. Each nail has a matrix score (0-4) and a nail bed score (0-4). The total nail score is the sum of those 2 (nail matrix and nail bed) individual scores (0-8). The sum of the total score of all involved fingernails is then the total NAPSI score. The NAPSI score is calculated only if all questions in the case report form are completed. A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement. LOCF imputation was used for missing data.
