- A clinical diagnosis of moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis for at least 6 months (before Baseline assessment) with current body surface area (BSA) involvement ≥10% and Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI) ≥10.
- Male and female subjects 18 to 65 years of age, inclusive.
- At least one psoriatic plaque ≥6 mm in diameter (in a location suitable for biopsy).
- Signed and witnessed written informed consent form obtained prior to the first study intervention, as well as the ability to adhere to study restrictions, appointments and evaluation schedule.
Main
- Treatment of psoriasis with biologic agents within 90 days prior to Baseline assessment and during the study.
- Treatment with methotrexate, cyclosporine, retinoids, hydroxyurea or other systemic agents within 30 days prior to Baseline assessment and during the study.
- Phototherapy within 30 days prior to Baseline assessment and during the study.
- Psoriasis topical therapy within 14 days prior to Baseline assessment and during the study (exception: non-medicated emollients and tar shampoo will be allowed).
- History of liver disease or abnormal liver enzymes
- Serum creatinine ≥1.5 times the upper limit of normal for age and sex-matched controls.
- Previous treatment with Apo805K1or Thymodepressin or other immunosuppressant drugs.
- Evidence of skin conditions other than psoriasis (e.g., eczema) that could interfere with psoriasis assessments.
- History of chronic infection or malignancy

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Number of Patients With Adverse Events 12 Weeks The number of patients in each treatment group who reported at least 1 adverse event, including clinically significant changes from baseline in vital signs, 12-lead ECG, physical examinations and laboratory tests, from the time of the first dose until the last study visit.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Cmax of Apo805K1 Following Multiple Doses, Assessed at Day 14 12 hours Cmax for dosages of 10 mg, 30 mg, 60 mg, or 100 mg Apo805K1, determined on Day 14. Serial blood samples for PK analysis were collected pre-dose and at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, and 12 hours post-dose.
.Tmax of Apo805K1 Following Multiple Doses, Assessed at Day 14 12 hours Tmax for dosages of 10 mg, 30 mg, 60 mg, or 100 mg Apo805K1, determined on Day 14. Serial blood samples for PK analysis were collected pre-dose and at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, and 12 hours post-dose.
AUC 0-infinity of Apo805K1 Following Multiple Doses, Assessed at Day 14 12 hours AUC 0-infinity for dosages of 10 mg, 30 mg, 60 mg, or 100 mg Apo805K1, determined on Day 14. Serial blood samples for PK analysis were collected pre-dose and at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, and 12 hours post-dose.
T 1/2 of Apo805K1 Following Multiple Doses, Assessed at Day 14 12 hours T 1/2 for dosages of 10 mg, 30 mg, 60 mg, or 100 mg Apo805K1, determined on Day 14. Serial blood samples for PK analysis were collected pre-dose and at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, and 12 hours post-dose.
Efficacy of Apo805K1 as Assessed by Change From Baseline in Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI) Scores Baseline to 12 Weeks PASI is a quantitative measure of psoriasis that combines an assessment of the severity of lesions and a measurement of how much of the body surface area is affected into a single score ranging from 0 (no disease) to 72 (maximal disease). Thus, a decrease in PASI score indicates improvement. This outcome measure compared the difference in change in PASI score from baseline to Week 12 between the active treatment groups and the placebo group.
Efficacy of APO805K1 as Assessed by Achievement of PASI-75 12 weeks The proportion of patients in each treatment group who achieved at least a 75% improvement in PASI score from baseline at Week 12
Efficacy of Apo805K1 as Assessed by Change From Baseline to Week 12 in Physician Global Assessment (PGA) Score Baseline to 12 weeks In the PGA, the physician assigns a single estimate of a patient's overall severity of the disease using a scale ranging from 0 (Clear) to 7 (Severe). (Unlike the LS-PGA, the individual elements of psoriasis plaque morphology or degree of body surface area involvement are not quantified.) Thus, a decrease in PGA score indicates improvement. This outcome measure compared the difference in change in PGA score from baseline to Week 12 between the active treatment groups and the placebo group.
Efficacy of Apo805K1 as Assessed by Change From Baseline at Week 12 in Lattice System-Physician Global Assessment (LS-PGA) Scores Baseline to 12 weeks The LS-PGA is a standardized method for determining categories of psoriasis severity. The percentage of body surface area involved is assessed on a scale ranging from 1 (0%) to 7 (51-100%); measures of plaque severity (thickness, erythema, and scaling) are assessed using a 4-point scale ranging from "none" to "marked"; and an algorithm is used to combine the above scores to determine a final score on a scale ranging from 0 (clear) to 7 (very severe). Thus, a decrease in LS-PGA score indicates improvement. This outcome measure compared the difference in change in LS-PGA score from baseline to Week 12 between the active treatment groups and the placebo group.
