ACR responses are the numerical measurement of improvement in multiple disease assessment criteria. It is a composite clinical outcome assessment (COA) measure that includes both clinician-reported outcome (ClinROs) and participant-reported outcome (PROs). An ACR20 response is defined as: greater than or equal to (\>=) 20 percent (%) improvement from baseline in both swollen joint count in 66 joints (SJC66) and tender joint count in 68 joints (TJC68), and \>=20% improvement from baseline in 3 of the following 5 assessments: participant's global assessment (PtGA) of PsA pain; PtGA of PsA; physician's global assessment (PGA) of PsA; participant's assessment of physical function as measured by health assessment questionnaire-disability index (HAQ-DI); high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP). Percentage of participants achieving ACR20 response at Week 24 for zasocitinib compared to placebo will be reported.
The ppIGA is a 5-point score ranging from 0 to 4, based on the investigator's assessment of the average erythema (redness), induration (thickness), scaling and fissures of all palmoplantar (non-pustular) psoriatic lesions. A lower score indicates lower severity, with 0 being "clear" and 1 being "almost clear."
An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of the trial intervention, whether or not the occurrence is considered related to the trial intervention. TEAE is defined as any AE emerging or manifesting at or after the initiation of treatment in the LTE study with a trial intervention or medicinal product or any existing AE that worsens in either intensity or frequency following exposure to the trial intervention or medicinal product. SAE is any untoward medical occurrence that results in death, is life-threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, results in a congenital abnormality/birth defect, or is an important medical event.
An AESI is an adverse event of scientific and medical concern specific to the compound or program, for which ongoing monitoring and rapid communication by the investigator may be appropriate.
Vital signs will include measurement of body temperature, respiratory rate, sitting blood pressure and pulse rate. Any clinically significant change in vital signs will be determined at the investigator's discretion.
Laboratory parameters will include hematology, chemistry and urinalysis. Any clinically significant change in laboratory values will be determined at the investigator's discretion.
The sPGA is an assessment by the investigator of the overall disease severity at the time of evaluation. Erythema (E), induration (I), and desquamation (D) are scored on a 5-point scale ranging from 0 (none) to 4 (severe). The sPGA composite score ranges from 0 to 4 and is calculated as Clear (0) = 0 for all three; Almost clear (1) = mean greater than (\>) 0, less than (\<) 1.5; Mild (2) = mean \>= 1.5, \<2.5; Moderate (3) = mean \>=2.5, \<3.5; and Severe (4) = mean \>=3.5. The percentage of participants achieving an sPGA of Clear (0) or Almost Clear (1) with a \>= 2-point decrease from baseline at Week 16 will be reported.
The PASI is a measure of the average redness, thickness and scaliness of psoriatic skin lesions (each graded on a 0 to 4 scale; 0 = none to 4 = very severe), weighted by the area of involvement (head, upper extremities, trunk, and lower extremities). The PASI score ranges from 0 to 72, with higher PASI scores denoting more severe disease activity (less than or equal to \[\<=\] 3 representing mild disease, \>= 3 to 15 representing moderate disease, and \>= 15 indicating severe disease). The PASI-75 is defined as 75% improvement from baseline in PASI score. The percentage of participants achieving \>= 75% improvement from baseline in PASI score at Week 16 will be reported.
Cmax of zasocitinib in plasma will be assessed.
Tmax of zasocitinib in plasma will be assessed.

PASI is a measure of the average erythema, induration/infiltration, and desquamation/scaling of psoriatic skin lesions (each graded on a 0 to 4 scale; 0 = none to 4 = very severe), weighted by the area of involvement (head, upper extremities, trunk, and lower extremities). The PASI produces a numeric score that can range from 0 to 72 (less than or equal to \[\<=\] 3 representing mild disease, greater than or equal to \[\>=3\] to 15 representing moderate disease, and \>=15 indicating severe disease) with higher PASI scores denoting more severe disease activity.

A TEAE is defined as an adverse event with an onset that occurs after receiving study drug. An SAE is any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose: results in death, life-threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent, significant disability/incapacity, a congenital abnormality/birth defect, an important medical event in the opinion of the healthcare provider, may jeopardize the participant or may require intervention to prevent one of the other outcomes listed in the definition above. TEAEs consist of both serious and non-serious adverse events.
The sPGA is a 5-point scale of an average assessment of all psoriatic lesions based on erythema, scaling, and induration. The average of the 3 scales, rounded to the nearest whole number, is the final sPGA score. The sPGA score ranges from 0 to 4 (0 = Clear; 1 = Almost clear; 2 = Mild; 3 = Moderate; 4 = Severe). Higher scores indicate more severe disease activity. 'Clear' and 'Almost clear' will include all participants who score a 0 or 1.

Zasocitinib is an investigational oral small molecule kinase inhibitor developed by Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited. It is being studied in immune-mediated inflammatory conditions, including plaque psoriasis, palmoplantar psoriasis, generalized pustular psoriasis, hidradenitis suppurativa, nonsegmental vitiligo, psoriatic arthritis, and Crohn's disease. It is not yet approved and remains in clinical development.
Zasocitinib is being evaluated for several inflammatory and autoimmune conditions: Crohn's disease, generalized pustular psoriasis, hidradenitis suppurativa, nonsegmental vitiligo, palmoplantar psoriasis, plaque psoriasis, and psoriatic arthritis. These are investigational uses only, and the drug has not been approved for any indication.
Zasocitinib is developed by Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited, which trades under the ticker TAK. Takeda is running the clinical program, including Phase 2 and Phase 3 studies across dermatology, rheumatology, and gastroenterology indications.
Zasocitinib is in Phase 2 and Phase 3 clinical development. Phase 3 studies are underway in psoriatic arthritis and non-pustular palmoplantar psoriasis, while a Phase 2 trial is recruiting in active Crohn's disease. The program includes five trials in total, with four currently active.
Zasocitinib trials include NCT07403968, a Phase 2 study in active Crohn's disease recruiting in the United Kingdom, and NCT07286058, a Phase 3 continuation study in psoriatic arthritis. Phase 3 studies NCT07871721 in psoriatic arthritis and NCT07752108 in non-pustular palmoplantar psoriasis are not yet recruiting.
Yes, TAK-279 is an alternative name for zasocitinib. The name TAK-279 appears in trial listings such as the Phase 2 Crohn's disease study NCT07403968, and the term Zasocitinib (Dose A) is also used in study documentation. All refer to the same Takeda investigational compound.
