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).
    

Eligibility criteria:

        Key Inclusion Criteria:

          -  Meet Classification Criteria for Psoriatic Arthritis (CASPAR) and have a history
             consistent with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) ≥ 6 months at Screening

          -  Have active PsA defined as ≥ 3 swollen joints (from a 66 swollen joint count [SJC])
             and ≥ 3 tender joints (from a 68 tender joint count [TJC]) at Screening and Day 1;
             these may or may not be the same joints at Screening and Day 1

          -  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,
             administered over the course of ≥ 12 weeks for the treatment of PsA, as per local
             guidelines / standard of care

        Key Exclusion Criteria:

          -  Prior PsA or psoriasis treatment with a biologic DMARD

          -  Prior exposure to a janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor > 2 doses

          -  Any active / recent infection

          -  Any chronic and / or uncontrolled medical condition that would put the individual at
             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

          -  Active autoimmune disease that would interfere with assessment of study parameters or
             increase risk to the individual by participating in the study (e.g. uveitis,
             inflammatory bowel disease, uncontrolled thyroiditis, systemic vasculitis, transverse
             myelitis), per judgement of investigator

          -  Pregnancy or nursing females

          -  Active drug or alcohol abuse, as per judgement of investigator

        Note: Other protocol defined Inclusion/Exclusion criteria may apply.
