Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.

Enrollment (Estimated)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Participants voluntarily agree to comply with all study procedures and scheduled follow-up assessments, and to cooperate with the collection of lesion photographs and other protocol-specified requirements;
  2. Diagnosis of plaque psoriasis, with or without PsA, established for at least 26 weeks prior to the first administration of study intervention. If previously diagnosed with psoriasis, participants must have a documented history of psoriasis for at least 26 weeks and must be confirmed by the investigator during screening to have plaque psoriasis;
  3. At screening and baseline, participants must be confirmed by the investigator to have stable moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis, as defined by meeting all of the following four criteria:

1) No morphological changes or significant disease flares during the 4 weeks preceding screening, as assessed by the investigator; 2) BSA≥10%； 3) PASI≥12； 4) IGA≥3； 4. Be a candidate for phototherapy or systemic treatment for plaque psoriasis; 5. Participants must have no plans for pregnancy or sperm/egg donation during the study period. If of childbearing age, women must not be pregnant or breastfeeding, and must have a negative blood pregnancy test within 7 days before randomization. Participants and their partners must voluntarily use highly effective contraception during the study period and for at least 3 months after the last dose.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Known allergy, hypersensitivity, or intolerance to biologics, study drugs, or their excipients.
  2. Non-plaque psoriasis (e.g., guttate, erythrodermic, pustular, or drug-induced psoriasis) at screening or randomization.
  3. Other skin lesions or systemic autoimmune diseases (e.g., systemic lupus erythematosus, Sjögren's syndrome, scleroderma) that may affect the safety and efficacy assessment of the study drug.
  4. Other skin lesions or systemic autoimmune diseases (e.g., systemic lupus erythematosus, Sjögren's syndrome, scleroderma) that may affect the safety and efficacy assessment of the study drug.
  5. Severe, progressive, or poorly controlled renal, hepatic, cardiac, vascular, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, endocrine, neurological, hematologic, rheumatologic, psychiatric, or metabolic disorders; or current signs or symptoms related to these conditions.
  6. History of malignancy within 5 years before screening (except for adequately treated skin basal cell carcinoma, in situ skin cancer, or in situ cervical cancer with no recurrence for at least 12 weeks before the first dose).
  7. History of lymphoproliferative disorders (e.g., lymphoma), unexplained monoclonal gammopathy, or signs and symptoms suggestive of lymphoproliferative disorders (e.g., splenomegaly or severe lymphadenopathy).
  8. Any other condition deemed by the investigator as unsuitable for participation in the clinical study.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Proportion of participants achieving PASI 75 (≥75% improvement from baseline in PASI) at Week 16
Time Frame: 16 weeks
Percentage of participants achieving PASI 75 response (>=75% improvement in PASI from baseline) at Week 16 will be reported. The PASI is a system for assessing/grading psoriatic lesion severity and treatment response. It divides the body into 4 regions (head, trunk, upper extremities, lower extremities), with each region separately scored for erythema, induration, scaling (0-4 scale each) and involvement extent (0-6 scale). PASI yields a 0-72 numeric score, where higher scores mean more severe disease.

Primary Completion (Estimated)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
