E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The purpose of this multicenter, placebo controlled double blind study is to provide additional efficacy, safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics data regarding PF-06826647 in the oral treatment of moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. It is intended to enable dose selection for the future development of PF-06826647.
For the Investigational Treatment Period, the primary objective is to compare the efficacy of multiple dose levels of PF-06826647 versus placebo on the proportion of participants with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis achieving Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI) 90.
For the Extension Treatment Period, the primary objective is to assess the safety and tolerability of PF-06826647 in participants with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
For the Investigational Treatment Period; to compare the efficacy of multiple dose levels of PF-06826647 versus placebo on the proportion of participants with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis achieving PASI 75.
To compare the efficacy of multiple dose levels of PF-06826647 versus placebo on Physician Global Assessment (PGA) score in participants with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.
To compare the efficacy of multiple dose levels of PF-06826647 versus placebo on the proportion of participants with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis achieving PASI 50 and PASI 100.
To compare the efficacy of multiple dose levels of PF-06826647 versus placebo on PGA and PASI scores in participants with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.

4. If receiving non prohibited concomitant medications for any reason, must be on a stable regimen, which is defined as not starting a new drug or changing dosage within 7 days or 5 half lives (whichever is longer) prior to first dose of study drug.
5. Any psychiatric condition including recent (within the past year) or active suicidal ideation or behavior that meets any of the following criteria:

Procedures such as gastric banding, that simply divide the stomach into separate chambers, are NOT exclusionary.
7. Have current or recent (within the past year) history of severe, progressive, or uncontrolled renal, hepatic, hematological, gastrointestinal, metabolic, endocrine, pulmonary, cardiovascular, or neurological disease.

15. Have any malignancies or a history of malignancies with the exception of adequately treated or excised non metastatic basal cell or squamous cell cancer of the skin or cervical carcinoma in situ.
16. Have undergone significant trauma or major surgery within 1 month prior to Screening or plan to undergo surgery during treatment period.
17. Other acute or chronic medical or psychiatric condition including recent (within the past year) or active suicidal ideation or behavior or laboratory abnormality that may increase the risk associated with study participation or investigational product administration or may interfere with the interpretation of study results and, in the judgment of the investigator, would make the participant inappropriate for entry into this study. For any reason in the opinion of the investigator or sponsor, the participant is inappropriate for entry into this study.
18. Planned initiation of, or changes to, concomitant medication that could affect psoriasis (eg, beta blockers, calcium channel blockers, antimalarial drugs or lithium) are to occur within 2 weeks prior to randomization and/or during the study.
