Brief summary

This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, dose-range finding study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ORKA-001 in adult participants with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis.

Detailed description

This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, dose ranging study designed to identify the optimal induction dosing regimen of ORKA-001 in approximately 160 adult participants with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis. The study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of 3 induction dosing regimens of ORKA-001 compared to placebo and will include 3 maintenance regimens. The study will consist of 4 periods: * Screening Period of up to 6 weeks * Induction Period of up to 28 weeks (Day 1 \[Baseline\] to Week 28) * Maintenance Period of up to approximately 72 weeks (Week 28 to Week 100) * Post-treatment Follow-up Period: Participants will have the option to enter the open-label extension (OLE) study. Participants who opt out of the OLE study and/or withdraw from the study must be followed for 48 weeks after the End of Treatment (EOT)/Early Termination (ET) visit.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Proportion of Participants Achieving 100% Reduction in PASI Score at Week 16Week 16The Psoriasis Area and Severity Index Score (PASI) is an evaluation tool that combines the assessment of the severity and the area affected by psoriasis into a single score ranging from 0 (no disease) to 72 (maximum disease).

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Proportion of Participants Who Achieve an IGA = 0 (Clear) at Week 16Week 16The Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) documents the Investigator's assessment of the participant's psoriasis at a given time point. Overall lesions are graded for induration, erythema, and scaling. The participant's psoriasis is assessed as clear (0), almost clear (1), mild (2), moderate (3), or severe (4).
Proportion of Participants Achieving 90% Reduction in PASI Score at Week 16Week 16Psoriasis Area and Severity Index Score (PASI) is an evaluation tool that combines the assessment of the severity and the area affected by psoriasis into a single score ranging from 0 (no disease) to 72 (maximum disease).
