Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: - Subject has predominantly non-plaque forms of psoriasis specifically erythrodermic psoriasis, predominantly pustular psoriasis, medication-induced or medication-exacerbated psoriasis, or new-onset guttate psoriasis. - Subject with current or history of severe psoriatic arthritis and is well-controlled on current therapy. - Women of childbearing potential who are pregnant, intend to become pregnant (within 6 months of completing the trial), or are lactating. - Subject who is expected to require topical therapy, phototherapy, or systemic therapy during the trial. - Subject with presence of any infection or history of recurrent infection requiring treatment with systemic antibiotics within 2 weeks prior to Screening, or severe infection (e.g. pneumonia, cellulitis, bone or joint infections) requiring hospitalization or treatment with IV antibiotics within 8 weeks prior to Screening. - Subject with any previous use of tildrakizumab (MK-3222) or other IL-23/Th-17 pathway inhibitors, including p40, p19 and IL-17 antagonists. - Subject with evidence of active or untreated latent tuberculosis (TB) according to screening criteria specified in the protocol.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: Primary Efficacy Objective: To assess the efficacy of tildrakizumab (SCH-900222/MK-3222) (hereafter referred to as MK-3222) compared to placebo in the treatment of moderate-to-severe chronic plaque psoriasis as measured by the proportion of subjects with at least 75% improvement in the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index from baseline (PASI 75 response), and the proportion of subjects with a Physician’s Global Assessment (PGA) score of “clear” or “minimal”, with at least a 2 grade reduction from baseline, at Week 12. Primary Safety/Tolerability Objective: To assess the safety/tolerability of tildrakizumab (MK-3222) in subjects with moderate-to-severe chronic plaque psoriasis at Week 12. Extension Study: To assess long-term safety and tolerability of tildrakizumab (MK-3222) in subjects with moderate-to-severe chronic plaque psoriasis for a minimum of 4 years. ;Secondary Objective: To assess the efficacy of tildrakizumab (MK-3222) compared to placebo in the treatment of moderate-to-severe chronic plaque psoriasis as measured by the proportion of subjects with at least 90% improvement in PASI from baseline (PASI 90 response) at Week 12.; Primary end point(s): Primary Efficacy Endpoints - Proportion of subjects with PASI 75 response at Week 12 - Proportion of subjects with a PGA score of "clear" or "minimal", with at least a 2 grade reduction from baseline, at Week 12. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: See section E.5.1 above.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
