Efficacy and Safety Study of Hemay005 in Subjects With Moderate to Severe Plaque Psoriasis

Hemay005 is a novel phosphodiesterase type 4(PDE4) inhibitor being developed for the treatment of psoriasis.After single asending dose and mutiple asending dose in health subjects. And the patients with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis will be randomized into 4 cohorts(15mg, 30mg, 60mg and placebo) approximately 216 subjects will be enrolled (52 for each cohort ). This study includes an 16-week treatment Period, then a 36-week Treatment Period without placebo.

Treatment and study plan

15mg Hemay005

Drug

Hemay005 is a small molecule PDE4 inhibitor.

Other names: No other intervention name.

Placebos

Drug

Placebos are the same as drugs, but contain no Hemay005.

Other names: No other intervention name.

Primary outcomes

  1. Proportion of subjects who have 75% or more reduction in [Psoriasis area-and-severity index score (PASI)] (PASI75).

    Time frame: week16

    The proportion of subjects who have a reduction of 75% or more from baseline in the psoriasis area-and-severity index score (PASI 75) at week 16.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Severity of Adverse Events and Serious Adverse Events.

    Time frame: week2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48, 52, 56.

    Severity of all Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) that occur during the whole trial including the observational period (AEs and SAEs include but not limited to comorbidities, such as hypertension, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases).

  2. Cmax of Hemay005.

    Time frame: week8

    Maximum observed serum concentration.

  3. Proportion of subjects achieving an overall sPGA score of clear (0) or almost clear (1) with at least a 2-point reduction from baseline.

    Time frame: week2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48, 52, 56.

    The static Physician's Global Assessment (sPGA) rated the investigator's overall clinical assessment of a participants plaque thickness, erythema, and scaling on a 6-point scale ranging from 0 (clear, except for residual discoloration) to 5 (majority of plaques have severe thickness, erythema, and scale). To assign a sPGA score, the investigator examined all psoriatic lesions and assigned a severity score ranging from 0 to 5 for thickness, erythema, and scaling. Scores for thickness, erythema, and scaling are summed and the mean of these 3 scores equals the overall sPGA score. Decreases in sPGA correspond to clinical improvement.
