Study Overview
Brief Summary
The is a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized, and multicenter study consisting of a first treatment (FT) period followed by either an observation (OB) period and a re-treatment (RT) period or an open-label (OL) treatment period, depending on FT period response, and a 4-week safety follow-up (FU) period. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of onercept, to be administered as 150 milligram (mg) three times a week, compared to matching placebo, for the induction of remission in subjects with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.
