About the study
The purpose of this study is to evaluate how well the study drug JNJ-88545223 works compared with a placebo (an inactive substance) in adults with active psoriatic arthritis (PsA). The study aims to see whether treatment with JNJ-88545223 can help reduce the signs and symptoms of PsA and improve joint and skin health.
