Assessment on Efficacy and Safety of BAT2306 and Cosentyx® in Plaque Psoriasis Patients

Prior treatment

• Have any forms of psoriasis at the time of the screening visit other than plaque-type such as erythrodermic psoriasis, pustular psoriasis, guttate psoriasis, medication-induced psoriasis or other skin conditions (e.g., eczema) that would interfere with evaluations of the effect of investigational product on psoriasis.
• Have previously received secukinumab, a biosimilar of secukinumab, or any drug that targets interleukin-17 or the IL-17 receptor (eg, ixekizumab, brodalumab).
• Have received any monoclonal antibody-based biologic drugs for the treatment of PsO or PsA or with a potential effect on the study condition, other than those prohibited (see exclusion #2) within 5 half-lives or 6 months, whichever is longer, before baseline visit.
• Have received non-monoclonal antibody biological drugs (eg, etanercept) for the treatment of PsO or PsA within 12 weeks or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) before baseline visit.
• Have received topical therapies for the treatment of psoriasis (such as corticosteroids, vitamin D analogs, retinoids, herbal or non-pharmacological topical preparations other than moisturizers or emollients) within 2 weeks before baseline visit.
  • And so on

Other

• Weight \> 120 kg.

• Male or female ≥ 18 years old with a diagnosis of plaque-type psoriasis for at least 24 weeks before screening.
• Have moderate to severe plaque-type psoriasis as defined at screening and baseline by:
  • PASI ≥ 12,
  • IGA ≥ 3 (based on a scale of 0-4), and
  • BSA affected by chronic plaque-type psoriasis ≥ 10%
• Candidates for systemic therapy, defined as having chronic plaque-type psoriasis considered inadequately controlled by:
  • topical treatment and/or
  • phototherapy and/or
  • previous systemic therapy.
• Female patients of childbearing potential and male patients with a female partner of childbearing potential must be willing to use a highly effective contraceptive precaution throughout the study period and continuing for at least 20 weeks after the last dose of study drug. See APPENDIX 1 for the acceptable highly effective contraceptive methods. Abstinence from heterosexual intercourse is accepted when this is the usual lifestyle of the patient and must be continued for at least 20 weeks after the last dose of study drug. A female patient is considered not of childbearing potential when postmenopausal (at least 12 consecutive months without menses without an alternative medical cause) or surgically sterilized (hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, and bilateral oophorectomy).
• If female of childbearing potential, patient should have a negative pregnancy test result at screening and baseline visits.
