Overview
Brief Summary
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, dose-range finding study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ORKA-001 in adult participants with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis.
Detailed Description
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, dose ranging study designed to identify the optimal induction dosing regimen of ORKA-001 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-001 compared to placebo and will include 3 maintenance regimens.
The study will consist of 4 periods:
- Screening Period of up to 6 weeks
- Induction Period of up to 28 weeks (Day 1 [Baseline] to Week 28)
- Maintenance Period of up to approximately 72 weeks (Week 28 to Week 100)
- Post-treatment Follow-up Period: Participants will have the option to enter the open-label extension (OLE) study. Participants who opt out of the OLE study and/or withdraw from the study must be followed for 48 weeks after the End of Treatment (EOT)/Early Termination (ET) visit.

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).
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)
- Proportion of Participants Maintaining 100% Reduction in PASI Score at Week 100(Week 100)
- Proportion of Participants Maintaining an IGA = 0 (Clear) at Week 100(Week 100)
- Proportion of Participants Maintaining 90% Reduction in PASI Score at Week 100(Week 100)
- Proportion of Participants Maintaining an IGA = 0 (Clear) or 1 (Almost Clear) at Week 100(Week 100)
- Proportion of Participants Maintaining 75% Reduction in PASI Score at Week 100(Week 100)
- Incidence of Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and TEAEs of Special Interest (TEAESIs)(Day 1 through Week 100)
