- Have >= 2 joints with erosions on baseline radiographs of the hands and feet as
determined by central read

- Have at least one of the following PsA subsets: distal interphalangeal joint
involvement, polyarticular arthritis with absence of rheumatoid nodules, arthritis

lupus erythematosus, or Lyme disease

- Has previously received any biologic treatment

- Has ever received tofacitinib, baricitinib, filgotinib, peficitinib, decernotinib,
upadacitinib or any other Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor
