Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - PF-06651600
Treatment: Drugs - Placebo

Experimental: Treatment Arm: PF-06651600 - ritlecitinib 200 milligram (mg) once per day (QD) (four 50 mg tablets) for 4 weeks then ritlecitinib 50 mg tablet QD through month 24. At Month 9, participants assigned to this treatment arm will also receive 3 tablets of placebo for 4 weeks to maintain the blind with the other arm. After month 24, participants switch to 50 mg capsules, 1 QD, up to month 60.

Other: Control Arm (Placebo) followed by active therapy extension - matching comparator: placebo QD (4 tablets x 4 weeks then 1 tablet x 8 months) then ritlecitinib 200 mg QD (four 50 mg tablets) for 4 weeks then ritlecitinib 50 mg tablet QD through month 24. After month 24, participants switch to 50 mg capsules, 1 QD, up to month 60.


Treatment: Drugs: PF-06651600
50 mg tablet, dosed as 200 mg QD or 50 mg QD 50 mg capsule, dosed as 50 mg QD
