Conditions

Plaque Psoriasis

Brief summary

This study consists of two parts: Part 1 (Dose Escalation): A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase in which approximately 20 to 30 adult patients with plaque psoriasis will receive the investigational treatment for 4 weeks. Part 2 (Efficacy and Safety Assessment): A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled evaluation where approximately 200 adult patients with plaque psoriasis will undergo 12 weeks of treatment. The resulting data will provide preliminary evidence on the safety and efficacy profile of CS32582, informing its subsequent development strategy.
