Psoriasis is a chronic disease characterized by marked inflammation and thickening of the skin that results in thick, scaly skin plaques. This study will assess how safe and effective cedirogant (ABBV-157) is compared to placebo in adult participants with moderate to severe psoriasis. Efficacy and safety-related measurements are assessing disease activity in participants with plaque psoriasis.
Cedirogant (ABBV-157) is an investigational drug being developed for the treatment of chronic plaque psoriasis. Participants will be put into 1 of 4 groups, called treatment arms and each group receives a different treatment. There is a 1 in 4 chance that participants will be assigned to placebo. Approximately 200 adult participants with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis will be enrolled at approximately 45 sites.
Participants will receive oral daily doses of cedirogant or placebo capsules for 16 weeks.
There may be a higher burden for participants in this study compared to usual standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits per routine clinical practice. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, checking for side effects, and questionnaires.

- Percentage of Participants Achieving >=75% Reduction from Baseline in Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI) score (PASI 75) [ Time Frame: Week 16 ]The PASI is a tool that provides a numeric scoring for participants' overall psoriasis disease state, ranging from 0 to 72, with a higher score indicating more severe disease.
- Percentage of Participants Achieving a Static Physician Global Assessment (sPGA) Score of Clear or Almost Clear [ Time Frame: Week 16 ]The sPGA is a 5-point score ranging from 0 to 4, based on the physician's assessment of the average thickness, erythema, and scaling of all psoriatic lesions. A lower score indicates less body coverage, with 0 being clear and 1 being almost clear.
- Percentage of Participants Achieving >=50% Reduction from Baseline in PASI Score (PASI 50) [ Time Frame: Week 16 ]The PASI is a tool that provides a numeric scoring for participants' overall psoriasis disease state, ranging from 0 to 72, with a higher score indicating more severe disease.
- Percentage of Participants Achieving >=90% Reduction from Baseline in PASI Score (PASI 90) [ Time Frame: Week 16 ]The PASI is a tool that provides a numeric scoring for participants' overall psoriasis disease state, ranging from 0 to 72, with a higher score indicating more severe disease.
- Percentage of Participants Achieving 100% Reduction from Baseline in PASI Score (PASI 100) [ Time Frame: Week 16 ]The PASI is a tool that provides a numeric scoring for participants' overall psoriasis disease state, ranging from 0 to 72, with a higher score indicating more severe disease.
- Percentage of Participants Achieving Psoriasis Symptoms Scale (PSS) Total Score of 0 for Participants with PSS >0 at Baseline [ Time Frame: Week 16 ]The PSS is a 4-item patient-reported outcome instrument that assesses the severity of psoriasis symptoms in patients with moderate to severe psoriasis. Current symptom severity is assessed using a 5-point Likert-type scale ranging from 0 (none) to 4 (very severe).
- Percentage of Participants Achieving an Itch Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) >=4-Point Improvement from Baseline for Participants with Itch NRS >=4 at Baseline [ Time Frame: Week 16 ]The Itch NRS is an 11-point scale that participants complete daily to describe the intensity of their itch using a 24-hour recall period. Scores vary between 0, representing "no itching" and 10, representing "worst itch imaginable."
