The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of the study drug ixekizumab in Chinese participants with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis.
Study I1F-MC-RHBH is a phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled, parallel-group study examining the effect of 2 dose regimens of ixekizumab versus placebo in participants with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis (Ps) during an induction dosing period with dosing for 12 weeks and the primary endpoint measured at 12 weeks, followed by a randomized, 48-week maintenance dosing period. During the maintenance dosing period, the study will evaluate the maintenance of response/remission, as well as relapse or rebound following treatment withdrawal, and response to retreatment following relapse.

Percentage of Participants With a Static Physician Global Assessment (sPGA) Score of Clear (0) or Minimal (1) With at Least a 2 Point Improvement
The sPGA is the physician's determination of the participant's Ps lesions overall at a given time point. Lesions were categorized by descriptions for induration, erythema, and scaling. Participants Ps were assessed as 0 (clear), 1 (minimal), 2 (mild), 3 (moderate), 4 (severe), or 5 (very severe). An sPGA responder was defined as having a post-baseline sPGA score of "0" or "1" with at least a 2-point improvement from baseline.
Time frame: Week 12
Percentage of Participants Achieving a ≥75% Improvement in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI 75)
The PASI combines the extent of body surface involvement in 4 anatomical regions (head, trunk, arms, and legs). For each region the percent area of skin involved was estimated from 0 (0%) to 6 (90%-100%) and severity was estimated by clinical signs of erythema, induration and scaling with a scores range from 0 (no involvement) to 4 (severe involvement). Each area is scored by itself and the scores then combined for the final PASI. Final PASI calculated as: sum of severity parameters for each region \* area score \* weighing factor \[head (0.1), upper limbs (0.2), trunk (0.3), lower limbs (0.4)\]. Overall scores range from 0 (no Ps) to 72 (the most severe disease).

Percentage of Participants Achieving a Static Physician Global Assessment (sPGA) Score of Clear (0) (Remission)
The sPGA is the physician's determination of the participant's Ps lesions overall at a given time point. Lesions were categorized by descriptions for induration, erythema, and scaling. Participants Ps were assessed as 0 (clear), 1 (minimal), 2 (mild), 3 (moderate), 4 (severe), or 5 (very severe). An sPGA assessed as 0, indicates complete resolution of plaque Ps.

Percentage of Participants Achieving an Itch Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) ≥4 Point Reduction From Baseline for Participants Who Had Baseline Itch NRS ≥4
The Itch NRS is a participant-administered, 11-point horizontal scale anchored at 0 (no itch) and 10 (worst itch imaginable). Overall severity of a participant's itching from Ps is indicated by circling the number that best describes the worst level of itching in the past 24 hours.

Change From Baseline in Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) Total Score
The DLQI is a simple, participant-administered, 10 question, validated, quality-of-life questionnaire that covers 6 domains: symptoms and feelings, daily activities, leisure, work and school, personal relationships, and treatment. Response categories include "not at all," "a lot," and "very much," with corresponding scores of 1, 2, and 3, respectively, and unanswered ("not relevant") responses scored as "0." Totals range from 0 to 30 (less to more impairment). A score of 0 or 1 indicates no impact of disease on a participants quality of life. Least Square Mean (LS Mean) was calculated using Mixed Model Repeated Measures (MMRM) model includes treatment, baseline value, visit, baseline value-by-visit, and treatment-by-visit interaction as fixed factors.

Change From Baseline in Nail Psoriasis Severity Index (NAPSI) Score in Participants With Baseline Fingernail Involvement
NAPSI is a numeric, reproducible, objective tool for evaluation of fingernail(fn) Ps. This scale is used to evaluate severity of fn bed Ps \& fn matrix Ps by area of involvement in the fn unit. fn is divided with imaginary horizontal \& longitudinal lines into quadrants. Each fn is given a score for fn bed Ps 0(none) to 4(Ps in 4 quadrants of the fn) \& fn matrix Ps 0(none) to 4(Ps in 4 quadrants in matrix), depending on presence (score of 1) or absence (score of 0) of any of the features of fn bed or matrix Ps in each quadrant.NAPSI score of a fn is sum of scores in fn bed \& fn matrix from each quadrant (maximum of 8). Each fn is evaluated, then the sum of all fn equals the total NAPSI score with a range from range 0 to 80. Higher scores indicate more severe ps. LS Mean was calculated using MMRM model includes treatment, baseline value, visit, baseline value-by-visit, and treatment-by-visit interaction as fixed factors.

Change From Baseline in Percent of Body Surface Area (BSA) Involvement of Psoriasis
The percentage involvement of psoriasis on each participant's body surface area was assessed by the investigator on a scale from 0% (no involvement) to 100% (full involvement), in which 1% corresponds to the size of the participant's hand including palm, fingers and thumb. LS Mean was calculated using MMRM model includes treatment, baseline value, visit, baseline value-by-visit, and treatment-by-visit interaction as fixed factors.

The PSSI is a physician assessment of erythema, induration and desquamation and percent of scalp that is covered with a scores range from 0 (none) to 4 (very severe). The composite score is derived from the sum of scores for erythema, induration, and desquamation multiplied by the score recorded for the extent of the scalp area involved, 1 (\<10%) to 6 (90%-100%) with a total score ranging from 0 (less severity) to 72 (more severity). LS Mean was calculated using MMRM model includes treatment, baseline value, visit, baseline value-by-visit, and treatment-by-visit interaction as fixed factors.

Change From Baseline in Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) Physical Component Summary (PCS) Score
The SF-36 is a participant-reported outcome measure evaluating participant's health status. It comprises 36 items covering 8 domains: physical functioning, role physical, role emotional, bodily pain, vitality, social functioning, mental health, and general health. Items are answered on Likert scales of varying lengths. Items from 8 domains contribute to the PCS. The summary scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better levels of function and/or better health. LS Mean was calculated using MMRM model includes treatment, baseline value, visit, baseline value-by-visit, and treatment-by-visit interaction as fixed factors.

Change From Baseline in Palmoplantar PASI (PPASI) in Participants With Baseline Palmoplantar Involvement
The Palmoplantar PASI is a composite score derived from the sum scores for erythema, induration, and desquamation multiplied by a score for the extent of palm and sole area involvement, ranging from 0 (no Ps) to 72. (the most severe disease) The PPASI was only assessed if participants have palmoplantar psoriasis at baseline. LS Mean was calculated using MMRM model includes treatment, baseline value, visit, baseline value-by-visit, and treatment-by-visit interaction as fixed factors.
Time frame: Baseline, Week 12
Change From Baseline on the Joint Pain Visual Analog Scale (VAS)
The Joint Pain VAS is a participant-administered scale designed to measure current joint pain from PsA using a 100-mm horizontal VAS. Overall severity of a participant's joint pain from PsA is indicated by placing a single mark on the horizontal scale (0 = none; 100 = as severe as you can imagine). LS Mean was calculated using MMRM model includes treatment, baseline value, visit, baseline value-by-visit, and treatment-by-visit interaction as fixed factors.
