- Must have a documented history or active signs of at least one of the following at
Screening:

- Plaque psoriasis

- Nail changes attributed to psoriasis

- Have had inadequate response or intolerance to =1 conventional synthetic
disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug (csDMARD), apremilast and / or NSAID,

Key exclusion criteria
- Prior PsA or psoriasis treatment with a biologic DMARD

- Prior exposure to a janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor > 2 doses

increased risk during study participation or circumstances which may make an
individual unlikely or unable to complete or comply with study procedures and
requirements, per investigator judgement

- Any moderately to severely active musculoskeletal or skin disorder other than PsA or
plaque psoriasis that would interfere with assessment of study parameters, as per
judgement of investigator

NOTE: Prior history of reactive arthritis or axial spondyloarthritis is permitted if there
is documentation of change in diagnosis to PsA or additional diagnosis of PsA

- Any history of an inflammatory arthropathy with onset before age 16 years old

Summary
Brief summary
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of filgotinib compared to
placebo as assessed by the American College of Rheumatology 20% improvement (ACR20) response
in participants with active psoriatic arthritis who are naive to biologic disease-modifying
anti-rheumatic drug (DMARD) therapy. The study consists of two parts, the Main Study and the
Long Term Extension (LTE).
