Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

The participants will be randomized to receive apremilast or placebo in the double-blind 16 week treatment phase. Then, the participants will all receive apremilast for a further 36 weeks in the active treatment phase. The participants not continuing to receive apremilast through the Post-Trial Access Program or Open-label Extension study will then complete the 30 days safety follow-up period after the last dose of apremilast in the active treatment phase.
