Brief summary
The objective of the ESK-001-018 long term extension is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ESK-001 over time. The scientific questions it aims to answer are: * How safe is taking ESK-001 long-term in people with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis? * Does taking ESK-001 long-term reduce the severity of people's plaque psoriasis? Patients will enter the long-term extension study following completion of one of the parent studies (ESK-001-016 or ESK-001-017) and will receive open-label ESK-001 twice daily for 24 weeks. After 24 weeks, the first 200 patients meeting at least PASI-75 clinical response will be randomly assigned to receive ESK-001 or placebo. At any point during this time, the patients losing the initial clinical response may return to the open-label ESK-001 treatment. Patients who complete Week 48 will return to open-label ESK-001 treatment and they will receive ESK-001 until the end of the study or discontinuation. All the remaining patients not meeting the entry criteria for the randomized withdrawal phase will continue to receive open-label ESK-001 for the remainder of the study. Patients taking part in the study must be men or women aged at least 18 years old and have completed a previous (parent) study of ESK-001 in moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. Patients must consent and agree to: * ensure drug daily compliance until end of study or discontinuation. * visit the clinic for checkups and assessments. * provide blood and urine samples.

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
1. Males or females, age ≥18 years 2. Completed either of the two previous (parent) studies of ESK-001 (ESK-001-016 or ESK-001-017) 3. ESK-001 safety and tolerability were acceptable in the parent study 4. Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) and males who are sexually active with WOCBP must agree to adhere to highly effective methods of contraception for the entirety of the study
Exclusion criteria
1. Pregnant, lactating, or planning to get pregnant during the study period 2. Any acute or chronic illness/condition or evidence of an unstable clinical condition that in the Investigator's judgment will substantially increase the risk to the patient if they continue to receive ESK-001 treatment in this extension study 3. Deemed by the Investigator to be inappropriate for the study or unable to comply with the protocol
Design outcomes
Primary

| To assess the long-term efficacy of ESK-001 using the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI-100) | 24, 48, 72, and 96 weeks | Proportion of patients achieving 100% reduction in PASI |
| To assess the long-term efficacy of ESK-001 using the Static Physician's Global Assessment (sPGA 0/1) | 24, 48, 72, and 96 weeks | Proportion of patients achieving a score of 0 or 1 on sPGA |
| To assess the long-term efficacy of ESK-001 based on change in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) | 24, 48, 72, and 96 weeks | Change in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) from baseline assessments |
| To assess the long-term efficacy of ESK-001 based on change in Affected Body Surface Area (%BSA) | 24, 48, 72, and 96 weeks | Change in affected body surface area (%BSA) from baseline assessments |
| To characterize the loss of PASI-75 response following withdrawal of ESK-001 treatment (only for patients randomized to the treatment withdrawal phase) | Week 48 | Median time to loss of PASI-75 response |
| To characterize the loss of PASI-90 response following withdrawal of ESK-001 treatment (only for patients randomized to the treatment withdrawal phase) | Week 48 | Median time to loss of PASI-90 response |
| To characterize the loss of sPGA-0/1 response following withdrawal of ESK-001 treatment (only for patients randomized to the treatment withdrawal phase) | Week 48 | Median time to loss of sPGA-0/1 response |
| To assess the change in quality of life (QoL) using Dermatology Life Quality Index after long-term ESK-001 administration | Week 24, Week 48, and Week 72 | Proportion of patients achieving a DLQI-0/1 score of 0 (no effect) or 1 (minimal effect) |
