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 investigate the efficacy and safety of two dose levels of certolizumab pegol compared to active comparator and placebo in adults with moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis.

Detailed Description

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

This study consists of the following Periods:

* Initial Treatment Period from Week 0 to Week 16
* Maintenance Treatment Period from Week 16 to Week 48
* Open-label Extension Treatment Period (96 weeks)
* Safety Follow-Up (10 weeks)

CZP 200 mg

Certolizumab Pegol (CZP) subcutaneous (sc) injection 400 mg at Weeks 0, 2, 4, followed by CZP 200 mg every two weeks (Q2W) from Week 6 to Week 14.

The treatment received from Week 16 to Week 48 is based on initial treatment and response to treatment at Week 16:

* Subjects with a PASI75 response at Week 16 will be re-randomized to receive either CZP 200 mg Q2W or CZP 400 mg every 4 weeks (Q4W; with Placebo administered on alternate dosing weeks to maintain the blind) or Placebo Q2W.
* Subjects who do not achieve a PASI75 response at Week 16 will be removed from blinded study medication and escape to CZP 400 mg Q2W. Subjects who receive unblinded CZP 400 mg Q2W for 16 weeks and do not achieve a PASI50 response will be withdrawn from the study.

Subjects can enter a 96-week open-label extension period after completing the Maintenance Period and receive CZP under certain conditions.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Intervention Type BIOLOGICAL

* Active Substance: Certolizumab Pegol
* Pharmaceutical Form: Solution for injection in pre-filled syringe
* Concentration: 200 mg/ mL
* Route of Administration: Subcutaneous use

CZP 400 mg

Certolizumab Pegol subcutaneous (sc) injection 400 mg every two weeks (Q2W) through Week 14.

The treatment received from Week 16 to Week 48 is based on initial treatment and response to treatment at Week 16:

* Subjects with a PASI75 response at Week 16 will be re-randomized to CZP 200 mg Q2W or CZP 400 mg Q2W or Placebo Q2W.
* Subjects who do not achieve a PASI75 response at Week 16 will be removed from blinded study medication and escape to CZP 400 mg Q2W. Subjects who receive unblinded CZP 400 mg Q2W for 16 weeks and do not achieve a PASI50 response will be withdrawn from the study.

Subjects can enter a 96-week open-label extension period after completing the Maintenance Period and receive CZP under certain conditions.

Etanercept (ETN) subcutaneous (sc) injection 50 mg twice weekly through Week 12.

The treatment received from Week 16 to Week 48 is based on initial treatment and response to treatment at Week 16:

* Subjects with a PASI75 response at Week 16 will be re-randomized to either Certolizumab Pegol (loading dose of 400 mg at Weeks 16, 18, and 20 followed by 200 mg Q2W) or Placebo Q2W.
* Subjects who do not achieve a PASI75 response at Week 16 will be removed from blinded study medication and escape to CZP 400 mg Q2W. Subjects who receive unblinded CZP 400 mg Q2W for 16 weeks and do not achieve a PASI50 response will be withdrawn from the study.

Subjects can enter a 96-week open-label extension period after completing the Maintenance Period and receive CZP under certain conditions.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Etanercept

Intervention Type BIOLOGICAL

* Active Substance: Etanercept
* Pharmaceutical Form: Solution for injection in pre-filled syringe
* Concentration: 50 mg / mL

Placebo

Placebo subcutaneous (sc) injection every two weeks (Q2W).

The treatment received from Week 16 to Week 48 is based on initial treatment and response to treatment at Week 16:

* Subjects with a PASI75 response at Week 16 continue to receive blinded Placebo.
* Subjects who do not achieve a PASI75 response at Week 16 will be removed from blinded study medication and escape to CZP 400 mg Q2W. Subjects who receive unblinded CZP 400 mg Q2W for 16 weeks and do not achieve a PASI50 response will be withdrawn from the study.

Subjects can enter a 96-week open-label extension period after completing the Maintenance Period and receive CZP under certain conditions.
