* Confirmed diagnosis of JPsA according to the modified International League of Associations for Rheumatology (ILAR) classification criteria that must have occurred at least 6 months prior to screening.
* Active JPsA disease defined as ≥3 active joints (swollen or if not swollen must be both tender and limited range of motion) at baseline (BSL).
* Inadequate response (≥1 month) or intolerance to ≥1 Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug (NSAID) at screening.
* Inadequate response (≥2 months) or intolerance to ≥ 1 Disease Modifying Anti-Rheumatic Drug (DMARD) at screening.

* Stable dose of methotrexate (MTX) (maximum of 20 mg/ m2 BSA/ week) for at least 4 weeks prior to the BSL visit, with folic/folinic acid supplementation (according to standard medical practice of the center).
* Stable dose of an oral corticosteroid (CS) at a prednisone equivalent dose of \<0.2 mg/kg/day or up to 10 mg/day maximum, whichever is less, for at least 7 days prior to BSL.
* Stable dose of no more than one NSAID for at least 1 week prior to BSL.

Key Exclusion Criteria:

* Participants with body weight less than 10 kg at screening.
* Use of other investigational drugs within 4 weeks or 5 half-lives of BSL, or until the expected pharmacodynamic effect has returned to BSL, whichever is longer.
* History of hypersensitivity to study drug or its excipients or to drugs of similar chemical classes.
* Participants with active inflammatory bowel disease or active uveitis at screening or BSL.
* Fulfilling diagnostic criteria for any International League of Associations for Rheumatology (ILAR ) juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) category other than JPsA at BSL.
* Participants treated with prohibited medication
