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 evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), immunogenicity, pharmacodynamics (PD) and the preliminary efficacy of AK101,an anti-IL-12/23p40 monoclonal antibody, when administered subcutaneously in subjects with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis.

Detailed Description

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

This was a single-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial which consisted of a dose escalation phase (Phase I) and a dose expansion phase (Phase II)..
