Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - 80 mg Ixekizumab Dosing Regimens 1, 2, and 3
Treatment: Drugs - Placebo

Experimental: 80 milligrams (mg) Ixekizumab Dosing Regimen 1 (Q2W) - Administered as two 80-mg subcutaneous (SC) injections at Week 0, then one 80-mg SC injection per Dosing Regimen 1 \[every 2 weeks (Q2W)\] up to and including Week 10. At Week 12, arm is re-randomized to placebo, Dosing Regimen 2 \[every 4 weeks (Q4W)\] or Dosing Regimen 3 \[every 12 weeks Q12W)\].

Experimental: 80 mg Ixekizumab Dosing Regimen 2 (Q4W) - Administered as two 80-mg SC injections at Week 0, then one 80-mg SC injection per Dosing Regimen 2 (Q4W) up to and including Week 10. At Week 12, arm is re-randomized to placebo, Dosing Regimen 2 (Q4W) or Dosing Regimen 3 (Q12W).

Experimental: 80 mg Ixekizumab Dosing Regimen 3 (Q12W) - Dosing Regimen 3 (Q12W) is not used until Week 12. At Week 12, participants who were re-randomized to this arm were administered one 80-mg SC injection Q12W.

Placebo comparator: Placebo - Administered as 2 SC injections at Week 0, then 1 SC injection per Dosing Regimen 1 (Q2W) up to and including Week 10. At Week 12, arm is re-randomized to placebo or Dosing Regimen 2 (Q4W).
