Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: • Previous or current systemic treatment of plaque psoriasis or known contraindication for systemic therapy. • Previous or current PUVA (psoralens and ultraviolet A) therapy. • Washouts and non-permitted drugs: a) Have received phototherapy (UVA light therapy without psoralens, UVB light therapy, excimer laser, tanning beds etc. within 4 weeks of baseline b) Have had topical psoriasis treatment within 2 weeks of baseline (exceptions: bland emollients without urea or beta or alpha hydroxy acids). c) Have received any biologic immune modulating treatment used for indication other than psoriasis within 4 weeks of baseline or within a period of 5 half-lifes of the received treatment, whichever is longer d) Have received any other systemic immune modulating treatment (including but not limited to oral retinoids, methotrexate, calcineurin inhibitors, oral or parenteral corticosteroids etc. used for indication other than psoriasis) within 4 weeks of baseline or within a period of 5 half-lifes of the received treatment, whichever is longer. • Subjects with any of the following laboratory abnormalities at screening: a) Leukocyte cell count below 3×109/L or lymphocyte count below 0.7×109/L. b) Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) or alanine transferase (ALT) > 2× ULN (upper level of normal limit). c) Absolute neutrophil count ULN. • History of depressive disorder within the last 2 years including current anti-depressive treatment. • Any positive finding in history of suicidal behaviour (e.g., ‘actual suicide attempts’, ‘interrupted attempts’, ‘aborted attempts’, or ‘preparatory actions’) based on the eC-SSRS questionnaire at screening or baseline. • Any positive finding in suicidal ideation of level 4 or 5 (‘some intent to act, no plan’ or ‘specific plan and intent’) based on the eC-SSRS questionnaire at screening or baseline. • A PHQ-8 score of =10 corresponding to moderate to severe depression at screening or baseline.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To compare the efficacy of subcutaneous injections of brodalumab to oral administration of fumaric acid esters in subjects with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis who are naive to systemic treatment. ; Primary end point(s): - At least 75% improvement from baseline at Week 24 in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) - Static Physician’s Global Assessment (sPGA) scale score of 0 or 1 ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: week 24; Secondary Objective: - To compare the effect on patient reported outcomes of subcutaneous injections of brodalumab to oral administration of fumaric acid esters in subjects with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. - To evaluate the safety and tolerability of subcutaneous injections of brodalumab versus oral administration of fumaric acid esters in subjects with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): - At least 90% improvement from baseline at Week 24 in PASI - 100% improvement from baseline at Week 24 in PASI - Change from baseline at Week 24 in PASI score - PASI improvement (%) from baseline at Week 24 - Change from baseline at Week 24 in affected body surface area (BSA) - Burden of symptoms assessed as the normalised area under the curve (AUC) of PSI from baseline to the last available assessment ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: week 24
