Brief Summary

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

This will be a multicenter, double-blind, double-dummy, placebo controlled, randomized study to evaluate efficacy and safety of AUR101 (RORgamma inhibitor) in patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis.

Approximately 90 patients with chronic moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis will be randomized to the 2 dose groups of AUR101 and one group of Placebo. The patients will receive the treatment for 12 weeks.

Detailed Description

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

This will be a multicenter, double-blind, double-dummy, placebo controlled, randomized study to evaluate efficacy and safety of two doses of AUR101 in patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis.

Approximately 90 patients with chronic moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis (defined as Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) ≥12 and Body Surface Area (BSA) involved ≥10%) will be randomized to the 2 dose groups of AUR101 and placebo in the ratio of 1:1:1.

The patients in each arm will receive AUR101 of 400 mg twice daily or AUR101 600 mg twice daily or matching placebo twice daily for 12 weeks in a double blind, double dummy fashion.

Every patient will receive 12 weeks of treatment. All the patients will be followed up for 14 ± 2 days of their last dose for safety assessment.

A subset of approximately 25 patients, who consent, will be asked to come for plasma PK assessment in week 4 of dosing.

Efficacy evaluation will be done by PASI, DLQI and BSA assessment. Safety assessment will be done by AEs and regular lab assessment.
