This is an interventional treatment trial for Chronic Plaque Psoriasis focused on measuring BOS-475, antipsoriatic efficacy, safety, psoriasis plaque test Read More

Inclusion Criteria:

• Men, or women of non-childbearing potential aged 18-69 years (inclusive)
• Participants with chronic stable plaque psoriasis
• The target lesion(s) should be on the trunk or extremities (excluding palms/soles); psoriatic lesions on the knees or elbows are not to be used as target lesions.
• Willing and able to follow all trial procedures and complete the whole trial
• Capable of giving signed informed consent which includes compliance with the requirements and restrictions listed in the Informed Consent Form (ICF) and in this protocol
• Willing to refrain from using any topical treatments on the target areas, other than those mandated by the protocol or for protocol procedures

Exclusion Criteria:

• Other skin disease or infection that is considered by the investigator to be relevant to the outcome of the trial
• Participants with acute psoriasis guttata, psoriasis punctata, psoriasis erythrodermatica or pustular psoriasis
• Any topical antipsoriatics on plaques potentially to be treated in this trial (including corticosteroids, vitamin D analogues, immunomodulators, retinoids, dithranol and tar) in the 4 weeks before first treatment and/or during the trial (pretreatment with salicylic acid is permitted on selected plaques; treatment on the face, ears and scalp is also permitted as lesions are not involved in the trial)
• Systemic treatment with antipsoriatics, e.g., corticosteroids, cytostatics, retinoids, dimethylfumarate or apremilast in the three months before first treatment and during the trial
• Systemic treatment with biological treatments: ustekinumab or secukinumab within six months or adalimumab, infliximab, and etanercept within three months before first treatment and during the trial. Any other previously used biologics for treatment of psoriasis should have been washed out for five half lives before first treatment.
• Ultraviolet A (UVA) or B-therapy within four weeks and psoralen and ultraviolet A (PUVA)-therapy within eight weeks before first treatment and during the trial treatment with concomitant medication that may affect and provoke or aggravate psoriasis, e.g., antimalarial drugs, lithium, beta-blockers, or angiotensin-converting-enzyme (ACE) inhibitors unless on a stable dose for 3 months before trial medication initiation

• Excess alcohol consumption within 6 months prior to the trial defined as an average weekly intake of > 14 units for males and females. One unit is equivalent to 8 grams of alcohol: a half-pint (~240 milliliters [mL]) of beer, 1 glass (125 mL) of wine, or 1 (25 mL) measure of spirits
• Blood pressure (BP) >160 millimeters of mercury (mmHg) systolic or >95 mmHg diastolic at screening
• Participation in another clinical trial within the last six months for biological agents, or four weeks for small molecules prior to first treatment in this clinical trial
