The study will examine the safety and effectiveness of AMG 827 for the treatment of psoriatic arthritis
The study will examine the safety and effectiveness of AMG 827 for the treatment of psoriatic arthritis. Patients will randomly receive either AMG 827 or placebo (a look-a-like liquid that does not have any drug in it) and neither the doctor nor the patient will know what treatment is being given.

To Evaluate the Efficacy of AMG 827 in Psoriatic Arthritis as Measured by the Proportion of Subjects Achieving an American College of Rheumatology (ACR) 20%
To evaluate the efficacy of AMG 827 in psoriatic arthritis as measured by the proportion of subjects achieving an American College of Rheumatology (ACR) 20% response at week 12. ACR20 responders are subjects with 20% improvement from baseline based off of percent changes in tender/painful joint count, swollen joint counts, physician global assessment of disease activity, and health assessment questionnaire-disability index.
Time frame: Baseline to week 12
To Evaluate the Efficacy of AMG 827 in Psoriatic Arthritis as Measured by the Proportion of Subjects Achieving an ACR 50
To evaluate the efficacy of AMG 827 in psoriatic arthritis as measured by the proportion of subjects achieving an ACR 50 response at week 12. ACR50 responders are subjects with 50% improvement from baseline based off of percent changes in tender/painful joint count, swollen joint counts, physician global assessment of disease activity, and health assessment questionnaire-disability index.
Time frame: Baseline to week 12
To Evaluate the Efficacy of AMG 827 in Psoriatic Arthritis as Measured by the Proportion of Subjects Achieving an ACR 70
To evaluate the efficacy of AMG 827 in psoriatic arthritis as measured by the proportion of subjects achieving an ACR 70 response at Week 12. ACR70 responders are subjects with 70% improvement from baseline based off of percent changes in tender/painful joint count, swollen joint counts, physician global assessment of disease activity, and health assessment questionnaire-disability index.
Time frame: Baseline to week 12
To Evaluate the Efficacy of AMG 827 in Psoriatic Arthritis as Measured by Change From Baseline in Clinical Disease Activity Index (CDAI)
To evaluate the efficacy of AMG 827 in psoriatic arthritis as measured by Clinical Disease Activity Index (CDAI) change from baseline at week 12. CDAI = SJC(28) + TJC(28) + PGA + EGA * SJC(28): Swollen 28-Joint Count (shoulders, elbows, wrists, MCPs, PIPs including thumb IP, knees) * TJC(28): Tender 28-Joint Count (shoulders, elbows, wrists, MCPs, PIPs including thumb IP, knees) * PGA: Patient Global disease Activity (patient's self assessment of overall RA disease activity on a scale 1-10 where 10 is maximal activity) A CDAI reduction of 6.5 represents moderate improvement. * EGA: Evaluator's Global disease Activity (evaluator's assessment of overall RA disease activity on a scale 1-10 where 10 is maximal activity)

To Evaluate the Efficacy of AMG 827 in Psoriatic Arthritis as Measured by Change From Baseline in Disease Activity Score With a 28 Joint Count (DAS 28)
To evaluate the efficacy of AMG 827 in psoriatic arthritis as measured by Disease Activity Score with a 28 joint count (DAS 28) change from baseline at week 12. The DAS28 is a composite score derived from 4 measures. To calculate the DAS28: 1. count the number of swollen joints (out of the 28), 2. count the number of tender joints (out of the 28), 3. take blood to measure the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) or C reactive protein (CRP), 4. ask the participant to make a 'global assessment of health' (indicated by marking a 10 cm line between very good and very bad). These results are then fed into a complex mathematical formula to produce the overall disease activity score. A DAS28 of greater than 5.1 implies active disease, less than 3.2 low disease activity, and less than 2.6 remission.
