Brief summary

This study is a randomized, active-controlled, double-blind, phase 3 study to compare the efficacy and safety of CT-P43 to Stelara in patients with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.

Detailed description

CT-P43, containing the active ingredient ustekinumab, is a human IgG1κ monoclonal antibody that is being developed as a biosimilar medicinal product to the reference product, Stelara. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate similar efficacy and safety of CT-P43 and Stelara in patients with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.

Exclusion criteria

* Patients diagnosed with forms of psoriasis other than plaque-type. * Patients previously received ustekinumab or a biosimilar of ustekinumab. * Patient who has allergies to the active substance or any of the excipients of ustekinumab or study drug, or patients with a hypersensitivity to immunoglobulin products or natural rubber and latex.

The sum of the 3 scales will be divided by 3 to obtain a final sPGA score.

Total scores range from 0 to 30 (less to more impairment).
