Title: A 48 Weeks Study of Three Different Dose Regimens of BI 655066 Administered Subcutaneously in Patients With Moderate to Severe Chronic Plaque Psoriasis (Randomised, Dose-ranging, Active-comparator-controlled (Ustekinumab), Double-blind Within Dose Groups of BI 655066)
Brief Summary: The overall purpose of this trial is to assess clinical efficacy and safety of different subcutaneous doses of BI 655066 in adult patients with chronic plaque psoriasis in order to select doses for further clinical trials.


Options:
A: Inclusion Criteria:

* Have a diagnosis of plaque-type psoriasis (with or without psoriatic arthritis) at least 6 months before the first administration of study agent
* Have a Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) greater than or equal to (\>=) 12 at Screening and at Baseline
* Have an Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) score \>=3 at Screening and at Baseline
* Have an involved body surface area (BSA) \>=10 percent (%) at Screening and at Baseline
* Must be a candidate for either systemic therapy or phototherapy for psoriasis

Exclusion Criteria:

* Participants with nonplaque forms of psoriasis (for example, erythrodermic, guttate, or pustular) or with current drug-induced psoriasis (for example, a new onset of psoriasis or an exacerbation of psoriasis from beta blockers, calcium channel blockers, or lithium)
* Participants who have ever received guselkumab or adalimumab
* History or current signs or symptoms of severe, progressive, or uncontrolled renal, hepatic, cardiac, vascular, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, endocrine, neurologic, hematologic, rheumatologic, psychiatric, or metabolic disturbances
* Has any condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would make participation not be in the best interest (for example, compromise the well-being) of the participant or that could prevent, limit, or confound the protocol-specified assessments
* Is pregnant, nursing, or planning a pregnancy (both men and women) within 5 months following the last administration of study drug
B: Inclusion Criteria:

* Subject has had stable moderate to severe plaque psoriasis for at least 6 months
* Subject has involved body surface area (BSA) ≥ 10%, PASI ≥ 12, and sPGA ≥ 3 at screening and at baseline

Exclusion Criteria:

* Subject diagnosed with erythrodermic psoriasis, pustular psoriasis, guttate psoriasis, medication-induced psoriasis, or other skin conditions at (eg, eczema) that would interfere with study evaluations
* Subject has known history of Crohn's disease
* Subject has any other significant concurrent medical condition or laboratory abnormalities, as defined in the study protocol
* Subject has not stopped using certain psoriasis therapies as defined in the study protocol
* Subject has previously used ustekinumab or any anti-IL-17 biologic therapy
* Subject is pregnant or breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant while enrolled in the study
* Female subject is unwilling to use highly effective methods of birth control unless 2 years post-menopausal or surgically sterile
C: Inclusion Criteria:

* Have had a diagnosis of plaque-type psoriasis (psoriasis vulgaris) for at least 12 months prior to the first screening procedure.
* Have a PASI score of 12 or greater AND a PGA score of 3 ("moderate") or 4 ("severe") at Baseline (Day 1).
* Considered by dermatologist investigator to be a candidate for systemic therapy or phototherapy of psoriasis (either naïve or history of previous treatment).

Exclusion Criteria:

* Currently have non-plaque forms of psoriasis, eg, erythrodermic, guttate, or pustular psoriasis, with the exception of nail psoriasis which is allowed.
* Have current drug induced psoriasis, eg, a new onset of psoriasis or an exacerbation of psoriasis from beta blockers, calcium channel blockers, antimalarial drugs or lithium.
* Subjects who cannot discontinue systemic therapies and/or topical therapies for the treatment of psoriasis and cannot discontinue phototherapy (UVB or PUVA) for the study are excluded.
D: Inclusion criteria:

* Body Mass Index (BMI) \>/= 18.5 and \< 40 kg/m²
* Patients with stable moderate to severe chronic plaque-type psoriasis with or without psoriatic arthritis involving \>/= 10% body surface area, with disease severity PASI \>/= 12 and sPGA score of moderate and above (score of at least 3) at screening visit and visit 2 (randomisation), as assessed by the investigator
* Psoriasis disease duration of at least 6 months prior to screening, as assessed by the investigator
* Patients must be candidates for systemic psoriasis treatment or phototherapy, as assessed by the investigator
* Patients must be suitable candidates for ustekinumab (Stelara®) therapy as given in the local labelling
* Patient must give informed consent and sign an approved consent form prior to any study procedures in accordance with GCP and local legislation

Exclusion criteria:

* Patients with guttate, erythrodermic, or pustular psoriasis and patients with drug-induced psoriasis, as diagnosed by the investigator
* Evidence of current or previous clinically significant disease, medical condition other than psoriasis, or finding of the medical examination (including vital signs and ECG), that in the opinion of the investigator, would compromise the safety of the patient or the quality of the data. This criterion provides an opportunity for the investigator to exclude patients based on clinical judgment, even if other eligibility criteria are satisfied. (Psoriatic arthritis is not considered an exclusion criterion)
* Gastrointestinal, hepatic, renal, respiratory, cardiovascular, metabolic, immunological or hormonal disorders, diseases of the central nervous system (such as epilepsy) or psychiatric disorders or neurological disorders, or history of orthostatic hypotension, fainting spells or blackouts, that in the investigator's judgement, could jeopardize the safe conduct of the study.
* Clinically important acute or chronic infections including hepatitis and HIV.

With regards to tuberculosis the following applies:

Have signs or symptoms suggestive of current active or latent TB upon medical history, physical examination and/or a chest radiograph (both posterior-anterior and lateral views, taken within 3 months prior to the first administration of study drug and read by a qualified radiologist).

Have history of latent or active TB prior to screening, except for patients who have documentation of having completed an adequate treatment regimen at least 6 months prior to the first administration of study agent.

Have positive IGRA testing (QuantiFERON-TB Gold) within 2 months prior to or during screening, in which active TB has not been ruled out, except for patients with history of latent TB and documentation of having completed an adequate treatment regimen at least 6 months prior to the first administration of study agent.

* Have had a live vaccination \</= 12 weeks prior to randomisation (visit 2). Patients must agree not to receive a live vaccination during the study. No BCG vaccines should be given for one year prior to randomisation (visit 2), during the study and for one year after last administration of study drug (according to the Stelara® SPC).
* History of clinically significant hypersensitivity to a systemically administered biologic agent or its excipients
* History of malignancy in the past 5 years or suspicion of active malignant disease except treated cutaneous squamous cell or basal cell carcinoma
* Has received any therapeutic agent directly targeted to IL-12, IL-23 (including ustekinumab (Stelara®))
* Use of biologic agents within 12 weeks (infliximab, etanercept, adalimumab, other biologics) prior to treatment, systemic anti-psoriatic medications or phototherapy within 4 weeks prior to treatment, or topical anti-psoriasis medications within 2 weeks prior to treatment
