Summary

This trial will test the safety and tolerability of a new medication called brodalumab in children. It will also look at how this medication is processed by the body.

Who is the study for?

What is being tested?
The study tests a single dose of Brodalumab in children with psoriasis. It's an open-label trial, meaning everyone knows they're getting the medication, to check its safety, how well it's tolerated, and how it moves through the body.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects of Brodalumab may include common cold symptoms, headache, fatigue, injection site reactions like redness or pain, diarrhea or nausea. More serious risks could involve infections or allergic reactions.
