Overview
This is a Phase 2, international, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-ranging, 12-week study. It is designed to assess the therapeutic dose, efficacy, and safety of treatment with SAR441566 in male and female adults with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. Study details include a screening period (4 weeks and not less than 11 days before Day 1), a treatment period (12 weeks ± 3 days) and a post-treatment period (safety follow-up) (2 weeks ± 3 days). The total number of study visits will be 7.
Description
The overall study duration for each participant will be approximately up to 135 days.
