Be Part of Research - Trial Details - A study of JNJ-77242113 for the treatment of participants with plaque psoriasis involving special areas (scalp, genital, and/or palms of hands and the soles of the feet)

A study of JNJ-77242113 for the treatment of participants with plaque psoriasis involving special areas (scalp, genital, and/or palms of hands and the soles of the feet)

Medical Conditions

Plaque psoriasis


This information is provided directly by researchers, and we recognise that it isn't always easy to understand. We are working with researchers to improve the accessibility of this information. In some summaries, you may come across links to external websites. These websites will have more information to help you better understand the study.


Plaque psoriasis is a skin disease that causes red, scaly, and sometimes painful and itchy patches on the skin.
Drugs that prevent interleukin IL-23* from binding to its receptor** may be an effective way to disease control. JNJ-77242113 is designed to target IL-23 receptor and block IL-23 from binding to it.
(*A specific type of protein involved in inflammation.)
(**A protein that binds to specific molecule.)
The purpose of this study is to see how effective JNJ-77242113 is in participants with plaque psoriasis involving special areas (scalp, genital, and/or palms of the hands and the soles of the feet).
Participants will receive JNJ-77242113 or placebo in a 2:1 ratio which means in every 2 participants who receive JNJ-77242113, 1 will receive placebo. JNJ-77242113 will be administered in all treatment groups (JNJ-77242113, placebo). This is a double-blind study, which means participant, caregiver, and study doctor will not know whether the participants are receiving JNJ-77242113 or placebo.

Start dates may differ between countries and research sites. The research team are responsible for keeping the information up-to-date.  

The recruitment start and end dates are as follows:

12 Oct 2023 01 Apr 2024

The study will be conducted in 3 periods:
1. Screening period (5 weeks)
2. Double-blind (156 weeks) treatment period: Participants will be randomly (like flip of a coin) divided to 2 groups:
Group 1: JNJ-77242113 orally from Week 0 through Week 156.
Group 2: Matching placebo of JNJ-77242113 orally from Week 0 through Week 16 and thereafter, JNJ-77242113 orally through Week 156.
Participants will undergo study assessments and tests, such as questionnaires, blood tests, vital signs, and physical exams. Blood samples will be taken at multiple timepoints to understand how the body responds to the study drug.
Follow-up period (4 weeks): Participants will be monitored for their health after the last dose of study drug until the study ends.
All side effects will be recorded until the study ends. The total study duration is approximately 3 years and 2 months.


Participants aged 18 years or older (in the UK) and aged 12 years or older (countries other than UK) with plaque psoriasis involving special areas (scalp, genital, and/or palms of the hands and the soles of the feet).

You can take part if:



You may not be able to take part if:


1. Nonplaque form of psoriasis (example, erythrodermic, guttate, or pustular) 2. Dermatoses other than plaque psoriasis (such as contact dermatitis) or palmoplantar pustulosis of the palmoplantar area (if hf-PGA >=3 at baseline) 3. Current drug-induced psoriasis (example, a new onset of psoriasis or an exacerbation of psoriasis from beta blockers, calcium channel blockers, or lithium)4. A current diagnosis or signs or symptoms of severe, progressive, or uncontrolled renal, liver, cardiac, vascular, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, endocrine, neurologic, haematologic, rheumatologic, psychiatric, or metabolic disturbances 5. Known allergies, hypersensitivity, or intolerance to JNJ-77242113 or its excipients

There is no established benefit to participants of this study. Based on scientific theory, taking JNJ-77242113 may reduce plaque psoriasis (red, scaly, itchy patches on the skin). However, this cannot be guaranteed because JNJ-77242113 is still under investigation as a treatment and it is not known whether JNJ-77242113 will work.
If participants are put into the placebo treatment group, they will not receive JNJ-77242113 up to Week 16. Participants will start receiving JNJ-77242113 from Week 16 through Week 156 during this study.
Participants may experience some benefit from participation in the study that is not due to receiving JNJ-77242113, but due to regular visits and assessments monitoring overall health. Participation may help other people with plaque psoriasis in the future.
Participants may have side effects from the drugs or procedures used in this study that may be mild to severe and even life-threatening, and they can vary from person to person. Potential risks include hypersensitivity reactions, anti-drug antibody production, and infection. Skin biopsy (optional procedure) may cause mild bleeding, pain, discomfort, scarring, discoloration, and infection. The participant information sheet and informed consent form, which will be signed by every participant agreeing to participate in the study, includes a detailed section outlining the known risks of participating in the study.
Not all possible side effects related to JNJ-77242113 are known at this moment. During the study, the sponsor may learn new information about JNJ-77242113. The study doctor will tell participants as soon as possible about any new information that might make them change their mind about being in the study, such as new risks.
To minimize the risk associated with taking part in the study, participants are frequently reviewed for any side effects and other medical events. Participants are educated to report any such events to the study doctor who will provide appropriate medical care. Any serious side effects that are reported to the sponsor are thoroughly reviewed by a specialist drug safety team.
There are no costs to participants to be in the study. The sponsor will pay for the study drug and tests that are part of the study. The participant will receive reasonable reimbursement for study-related costs (e.g., travel/parking costs).
