Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: 1. An Institutional Review Board (IRB)/Independent Ethics Committee (IEC) approved written Informed Consent form (ICF) is signed and dated by the subject prior to the initiation of any study-specific assessment at Screening. 2. Subject is considered reliable and capable of adhering to the protocol, according to the judgment of the Investigator, and has adequate reading and writing abilities (in his/her native language) such that the subject can comprehend and answer the questions on the subject-completed assessments. 3. Subject is male or female, aged =18 years to =70 years at Screening. Female subjects must either be postmenopausal (at least 1 year), permanently sterilized (eg, tubal occlusion, hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy) or, if of childbearing potential, must be willing to use at least 2 effective methods of contraception, including a barrier method (eg, male condom, female condom, or diaphragm with spermicide) during the study period. Effective methods of contraception are methods of birth control, which result in a low failure rate when used consistently and correctly, such as implants, injectables, oral contraceptives, progesterone-releasing intrauterine systems or the TCu 380A intrauterine device, complete sexual abstinence, or vasectomized partner (where post vasectomy testing has demonstrated sperm clearance). Male subjects with partners of childbearing potential must be willing to use a condom when sexually active. Both male and female subjects must use the above mentioned contraception for 20 weeks after administration of study drug (anticipated 5 half-lives). 4. Subject has had a confirmed diagnosis of mild to moderate plaque-type psoriasis for at least 6 months involving =5% of BSA (excluding the scalp). 5. Subject has a body mass index of =35kg/m2 at Screening. 6. Subject has a minimum of 2 psoriatic lesions with at least 1 plaque in a site suitable for biopsy. 7. Subject has adequate venous access on inspection.
