Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - Bimekizumab
Other interventions - Placebo

Experimental: Bimekizumab cohort - Subjects will receive bimekizumab for 16 Weeks. Subjects who achieve certain predefined response criteria will be re-randomized to either receive bimekizumab or placebo until Week 56. Subjects who do not achieve predefined response criteria will enter the bimekizumab escape arm.

Placebo comparator: Placebo - Subjects will receive placebo for 16 Weeks. Subjects who achieve certain predefined response criteria will proceed with placebo until Week 56. Subjects who do not achieve certain predefined response criteria will enter the bimekizumab escape arm.

Experimental: Bimekizumab Escape arm - Subjects who do not achieve certain predefined response criteria at Week 16 or later will enter the bimekizumab escape arm and will receive open-label bimekizumab for 12 weeks.


Treatment: Drugs: Bimekizumab
Bimekizumab will be provided at pre-specified time intervals.

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