Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate equivalent efficacy of GP2015 and Enbrel® in patients with moderate to severe chronic plaque-type psoriasis with respect to PASI 75 response rate at Week 12.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The purpose of this confirmatory safety and efficacy study (GP15-302) was to demonstrate equivalence in efficacy and similarity in safety and immunogenicity of GP2015 and Enbrel (EU-authorized) in patients with moderate to severe chronic plaque-type psoriasis and to evaluate the effects of repeated switching between GP2015 and Enbrel on efficacy, overall safety, and immunogenicity. Since only EU-authorized Enbrel was utilized in this study, the use of the term "Enbrel" throughout this report describes EU-authorized Enbrel only.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Men or women at least 18 years of age at time of screening
* Chronic plaque-type psoriasis diagnosed for at least 6 months before baseline
* Moderate to severe psoriasis as defined at baseline by:

* PASI score of 10 or greater and,
* Investigator´s Global Assessment score of 3 or greater (based on a scale of 0 - 4) and,
