Pivotal Trial

Summary

This trial is testing a new drug called TAK-279 to see if it can help people with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. The goal is to find out if TAK-279 can reduce the skin problems better than other available treatments.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for people who have had plaque psoriasis for at least 6 months and it's moderate to severe. They should be candidates for light therapy or systemic treatment but can't join if they've had other types of psoriasis, recent infections, or previous exposure to TAK-279 or the active comparator.

What is being tested?

The study tests how well a new medication, TAK-279, works in reducing skin plaques compared to an inactive substance (placebo) and an approved drug called Apremilast. Participants will randomly receive one of these treatments over a period of up to 56 weeks.

What are the potential side effects?

Possible side effects may include reactions similar to those seen with other medications for psoriasis such as stomach issues, headaches, potential liver changes, and increased risk of infection. The exact side effects of TAK-279 are being studied.
