* Has a history or current signs or symptoms of severe, progressive, or uncontrolled renal, hepatic, cardiac, vascular, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, endocrine, neurologic, hematologic, rheumatologic (except PsA), psychiatric, genitourinary, or metabolic disturbances
* Has suspected or known allergies, hypersensitivity, or intolerance to JNJ-88545223 or excipients used in the investigational medicinal product (IMP), including placebo (JNJ-88545223 investigator's brochure); or has a history of severe allergic reaction, angioedema, or anaphylaxis to drugs or food

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.
