Overview
Brief Summary
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, dose-range finding study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ORKA-002 in adult participants with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis.
Detailed Description
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, dose range finding study designed to identify the optimal induction dosing regimen of ORKA-002 in approximately 160 adult participants with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis.
The study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of 3 induction dosing regimens of ORKA-002 compared to placebo.
The study will consist of 3 periods:
- Screening Period
- Induction Period
- Post-treatment Follow-up Period

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Proportion of Participants Achieving 100% Reduction in PASI Score at Week 16
Time Frame: Week 16
The Psoriasis Area and Severity Index Score (PASI) is an evaluation tool that combines the assessment of the severity and the area affected by psoriasis into a single score ranging from 0 (no disease) to 72 (maximum disease).
Incidence of Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Treatment-emergent Serious Adverse events (TEAEs) and TEAEs of of Special Interest (TEAESIs)
Time Frame: Day 1 through Week 48
Incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs), treatment-emergent serious adverse events (TEAEs), and treatment-emergent adverse events of special interest (TEASIs), and clinically significant changes from baseline in vital signs, clinical laboratory parameters and electrocardiograms
Secondary Outcomes
- Proportion of Participants Who Achieve an IGA = 0 (Clear) at Week 16(Week 16)
- Proportion of Participants Achieving 90% Reduction in PASI Score at Week 16(Week 16)
- Proportion of Participants Who Achieve an IGA=0 (Clear) or 1 (Almost Clear) at Week 16(Week 16)
- Incidence of Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Treatment-emergent Serious Adverse events (TEAEs) and TEAEs of Special Interest (TEAESIs)(Day 1 through Week 48)
