End points
Primary end point(s)	The primary endpoint in this study is the proportion of subjects who achieve a PGA score of cleared or minimal at Week 12 In the primary efficacy analysis data from all randomized subjects will be analyzed according to their assigned treatment group Subjects who discontinue study treatment due to unsatisfactory therapeutic response or an AE of worsening psoriasis or who started protocol-prohibited medicationstherapies that could improve psoriasis after the baseline visit but prior to Week 12 or who enter early escape will be considered as nonresponders at Week 12 In addition subjects who have a missing PGA score at Week 12 will be considered as not achieving the primary endpoint at Week 12 In the primary analysis the proportion of subjects with a PGA score of cleared or minimal at Week 12 will be compared between the ustekinumab LD group and the placebo group and between the ustekinumab HD group and the placebo group using CMH chi-square test stratified by weight 60 kg or 60 kg The p-values will be ordered To maintain an overall Type I error rate of 005 the Holms procedure will be used Holm 1979 The smaller p-value will be compared to 0025 2-sided If this test is significant then the other p-value will be compared to 005 2 sided Otherwise both tests are considered not significant To establish the efficacy of ustekinumab compared with placebo at least 1 of the comparisons must be statistically significant ie at least the smaller p-value must be 0025
Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point	Week 12
Secondary end point(s)	Proportion of patients that achieve Psoriasis Area and Severity Index PASI 75 response Change from baseline in Childrens Dermatology Life Quality Index CDLQI The proportion of patients who achieve a Psoriasis Area and Severity Index PASI 90 response

Plans for treatment or care after the subject has ended the participation in the project (if it is different from the expected normal treatment of that condition)	For individual subjects participating in the CADMUS study no long term treatment is planned beyond 60 weeks This decision was primarily based on the fact that there is no safety data yet available in kids in any indication and thus it is prudent to scientifically evaluate the benefit-risk profile over approximately 1 year before ustekinumab is provided longer term
