Study of Efficacy and Safety of HLX03 in Subjects With Moderate to Severe Plaque Psoriasis
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, positive drug parallel-group controlled clinical study in China to evaluate efficacy, safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of HLX03 and adalimumab (Humira) in subjects with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. This study will recruit 216 subjects (18-75 years old, male and female) with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. The 216 subjects will be randomly assigned per 1:1 ratio into the following two treatment groups (HLX03 OR Adalimumab). The study will be conducted in three periods, including the screening period, treatment period and follow-up period. For each participating subjects, the maximal length of the study will be 56 weeks (including up to four weeks of screening time).

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Percentage improvement of PASI from baseline to Week 16 [Week 16]
Percent improvement of PASI from baseline to Week 16 will be calculated as the following formula: (PASI baseline-PASI Week 16) x 100% /PASI baseline
Secondary Outcome Measures
- PASI 75 response [Week 4, 8, 12, 16, 24, 32, 50]
75% or greater improvement in PASI score
- PASI percent improvement [Week 4, 8, 12, 24, 32, 50]
- Static Physician's Global Assessment (sPGA) responses (with 0 or 1 being a positive result) [Week 4, 8, 12, 16, 24, 32, 50]
- Change of DLQI from baseline [Week 4, 8, 12, 16, 24, 32, 50]
