• Recurrent, chronic, or any other active infection in which, in the opinion of the Investigator, the investigational product may harm the study subject.
• Diagnosis of tuberculosis, including a history of tuberculosis. 9. A clinically significant infection caused by the varicella-zoster virus within 12 weeks prior to signing the ICF.
• Malignant and lymphoproliferative diseases, including lymphoma; symptoms indicating the development of a lymphoproliferative disease (such as lymphadenopathy and/or splenomegaly), except for those previously excluded by a biopsy.
• Known allergy or intolerance to monoclonal antibody products or any components of the investigational product.
• Major surgery within 30 days before the screening, or a major surgery scheduled at any time during the study.
• Severe infections (including those that required hospitalization or parenteral antibacterial, antimycotic, or antiprotozoal agents) within 6 months prior to signing the ICF.
• Use of systemic antibacterial, antimycotic, or antiprotozoal agents within 2 months before signing the ICF.
• More than 4 episodes of respiratory infections over the past 6 months prior to signing the ICF.
• Any concomitant diseases in which, in the Investigator's opinion, the study therapy may harm the subject.
• Simultaneous participation in other clinical studies, as well as previous participation in other clinical studies less than 3 months before signing the ICF, prior participation in this study.
• Use of any other investigational products at the time of signing the ICF or less than 28 days before the planned date of signing the ICF or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) before the date of signing the ICF.

• A history of Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis.
• Any other underlying conditions (including but not limited to metabolism, hematology, renal, hepatic, pulmonary, neurological, endocrine, cardiac, and gastrointestinal disorders; infections) that may, in the Investigator's opinion, affect the course of psoriasis, affect the assessment of its symptoms, or put the subject using the study therapy at unacceptable risk.
• History of allergic reactions (anaphylactic shock or allergy to 2 or more drugs).
• Any psychiatric disorder, including a history of severe depressive disorders and/or suicidal thoughts, which, in the opinion of the Investigator, may pose an excessive risk to the subject or affect the subject's ability to follow the Protocol.
• Drug addiction, alcoholism, or abuse with drugs or other psychoactive substances (including a history of such disorders).

Laborértékek

• Other concomitant medical conditions that continued at the time of the screening examination, which increase the risk of adverse events during the study or may affect the evaluation of psoriasis symptoms, mask, enhance, or alter the symptoms of psoriasis, or cause clinical or laboratory symptoms similar to those of psoriasis and confirmed by the source documentation:

Egyéb

• Body temperature ≥38°C at the screening. These subjects may be re-screened, but not earlier than 4 weeks after the first screening.
• Signs of premature puberty at the screening examination. 21. Pregnancy, breastfeeding, or planning pregnancy while participating in the study.

• Written informed consent of the legal representative and the subject to participate in the study (the study subject signs the appendix to the information sheet for the legal representative of the clinical study subject with informed consent form).
• For Stage 1 only: age ≥12 and <18 years at the time of randomization.
• For Stage 2 only: age ≥6 and <12 years at the time of randomization.
• A diagnosis of moderate to severe plaque psoriasis with a disease duration of the disease being at least 3 months before the signing of the ICF.
• Subjects who are candidates for phototherapy or systemic therapy for psoriasis (including non-responders to systemic therapy or phototherapy), in the opinion of the Investigator, or who did not achieve adequate disease control with topical agents.
• At the time of the screening examination, the body surface area affected by psoriasis is >10% of the body surface area (BSA), the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) score is ≥12, and the static Physician's Global Assessment (sPGA) score is ≥3.
