Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), immunogenicity, pharmacodynamics (PD) and the preliminary efficacy of AK101，an anti-IL-12/23p40 monoclonal antibody, when administered subcutaneously in subjects with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis.

4. History or evidence of active or latent tuberculosis at screening.

5. Serious systemic infections or local infections during the 2 months prior to screening.

6. History of cancer, including solid tumors and hematological malignancies (except basal cell and in situ squamous cell carcinomas of the skin that have been excised and resolved).

7. Known allergy or hypersensitivity to any biologic therapy at screening that would pose an unacceptable risk to the subject if participating in this study.

9. History or known presence of recurrent or chronic infection (e.g., hepatitis B, or C, human immunodeficiency virus [HIV], syphilis, TB).

10. Had received any DMARDs (e.g., anti-malaria drug, retinoids, interferon, lithium) during 2 weeks prior to screening.

11. Had received any physical therapy (e.g., PUVA, ultra-violet therapy, tanning beds) during 2 weeks prior to screening.

12. Had received any systemic psoriasis therapy (e.g., glucocorticoid, retinoids, ciclosporin, methotrexate, or tripterygium) during 4 weeks prior to screening.

13. Had Enrolled in any other trials during 3 months prior to screening or concurrently enrolled in any other trials.

14. Had received previous treatment with any anti-IL-12/IL-23, IL-12, IL-23, IL-17 therapy for the treatment of psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis.

15. Had received previous treatment with natalizumab or any other drugs that regulate B cells or T cells (rituximab, abatacept, alemtuzumab) during 12 months prior to screening.

16. Had received other biologic therapy (e.g., TNF inhibitor) during 6 months prior to screening.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Incidence of treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs)		From the time of signing informed consent till Week 16 for Phase I or Week 28 for Phase II
Secondary	Number of participants who achieved = 75% reduction in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI75)		At Week 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 (Phase II), 24 (Phase II) and 28 (Phase II)
Secondary	Number of participants who achieved = 90% reduction in PASI (PASI90)		At Week 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 (Phase II), 24 (Phase II) and 28 (Phase II)
