Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - Bimekizumab
Treatment: Drugs - Adalimumab
Other interventions - Placebo

Experimental: Bimekizumab Arm 1 - Subjects will receive bimekizumab dose regimen 1 for 56 weeks. Subjects will receive placebo at pre-specified time-points to maintain the blinding.

Experimental: Bimekizumab Arm 2 - Subjects will receive bimekizumab dose regimen 1 for 16 weeks and will proceed with bimekizumab dose regimen 2 until week 56. Subjects will receive placebo at pre-specified time-points to maintain the blinding.

Active comparator: Adalimumab Arm - Subjects will receive adalimumab for 24 weeks and will then receive bimekizumab dose regimen 1 until week 56. Subjects will receive placebo at pre-specified time-points to maintain the blinding.


Treatment: Drugs: Bimekizumab
Subjects will receive bimekizumab at pre-defined timepoints in dose regimen 1 and/or dose regimen 2.

Treatment: Drugs: Adalimumab
Adalimumab will be administered according to the labeling recommendations.

Other interventions: Placebo
Subjects will receive Placebo at pre-specified time points to maintain the blinding of the Investigational Medicinal Products (IMP).
