The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of Tildrakizumab in moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis participants who are non-responder to Dimethyl fumarate (DMF) at Week 16. The study consists of two parts. Part 1 will include the first 16 weeks of the Treatment Period and Part 2 will include the last 24 weeks of the Treatment Period.

Participants will receive DMF gastro-resistant tablet orally from baseline to Week 16, at a dose of 30 milligrams (mg) once daily, twice daily, thrice daily in Week 1, Week 2, Week 3 respectively, 120 mg only once in Week 4. Participants will increase DMF dose by 120 mg tablet per week for the subsequent 5 weeks. Participants achieving Psoriasis area and severity Index (PASI) 50-75 (partial responder) or 75 (responder) will continue the DMF treatment until Week 40. The maximum daily dose taken by a participant will be 720 mg.
Participants will receive DMF gastro-resistant tablet orally at a dose of 60, 120, 180, 240, 360 mg daily in Week 1, Week 2, Week 3, Week 4, Week 5 respectively, and 480 mg daily from Week 6 to Week 8. If a PASI is greater than or equal to (\>=) 30% at Week 8, no dose increase will be done and if PASI is less than (\<) 30% at Week 8, participants will receive 600 mg daily in Week 9 and 720 mg from the Week 10 onwards.

Part 2: Percentage of Participants Achieving a Psoriasis Area Severity Index 75 (PASI 75) after Tildrakizumab Treatment at Week 40
PASI is a combination of the intensity of psoriasis, assessed by the erythema (reddening), induration (plaque thickness) and scaling on a scale range from 0 (no symptoms) to 4 (very marked), together with the percentage (%) of the area affected, rated on a scale from 0 (0%) to 6 (90-100%). PASI scoring is performed at four body areas, the head, arms, trunk, and legs. The total PASI score ranges from 0 (no psoriasis) to 72 (the most severe disease). PASI 75 response, is defined as having an improvement (reduction) of greater than or equal to (\>=) 75% in PASI score compared to the baseline score.

The 16-item Skindex questionnaire is divided into three domains: questions related to the participant's symptoms (1-4), emotions (5-11), and functioning (12-16). Each question asks the participant to quantify how much a specific aspect of their skin condition bothered them in the week prior to administration of the Skindex-16. The questions are answered on a scale from 0 (never bothered) to 6 (always bothered) with a total possible score ranging from 0 (best HRQoL) to 96 (worst HRQoL). Each item is then transformed to a linear scale from 0 to 100.
