A Safety and Effectiveness Study of CNTO 1275 in Patients With Moderate to Severe Plaque-type Psoriasis

Psoriasis Clinical Trial

Official title: A Phase II, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Parallel Study of Single and Multiple Dose Regimens With Subcutaneous CNTO 1275 (Human Monoclonal Antibody to IL-12) in Subjects With Moderate to Severe Psoriasis

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of initial single and multiple subcutaneous injections of CNTO 1275 in the treatment of patients with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.

Clinical Trial Description

This is a randomized (the study medication is assigned by chance), double blind (neither physician nor patient knows the treatment that the patient receives), parallel-group, multicenter study to determine the effectiveness and safety of two different doses of CNTO 1275 administered subcutaneously one time or as multiple doses as compared with placebo in patients with moderate to severe plaque-type psoriasis (the most common type of psoriasis). The dose of CNTO 1275 will be 45 or 90 mg administered subcutaneously once or as four weekly doses. Patients who inadequately respond to their treatment may receive one additional dose. Patients will be monitored for the safety throughout the study. ;
