Open Label Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of AK101 Injection Subcutaneously in Subjects With Psoriasis

An Open-label, Single-arm, Multi-center Study to Evaluate the Long-term Safety and Efficacy of AK101 Injection in Subjects With Moderate-to-severe Plaque Psoriasis

This is an open-label Phase III clinical study to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of AK101 injection in subjects with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis.

This is an open-label, single-arm, multi-center phase III study. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of AK101 injection in subjects with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis.

  2. Subjects voluntarily participate in this study.

• Applicable for subjects newly enrolled:

  1. Male or female subjects aged ≥ 18 years old.
  2. Subjects diagnosed with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis and are applicable to systematic treatment.
  3. At screening and baseline, PASI score ≥ 12, Body Surface Area BSA (BSA) ≥ 10%, sPGA ≥ 3.
  4. Subjects who are applicable for biological agents, based on the assessment of investigator.
  5. Subjects who are women of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test at screening and must be practicing an adequate, medically acceptable method of birth control for at least 6 months after the last study drug administration.

Key Exclusion Criteria:

• Applicable for subjects who have completed the previous Akeso trial (AK101-302) with AK101 injection:

  2. Subjects who used prohibited drugs in an Akeso trial with AK101 injection.
  3. Subjects performed poor compliance in an Akeso trial with AK101 injection, based on the assessment of investigator.
  4. Subjects with any other disease, abnormal physical examination or abnormal laboratory examination leading to inapplicable for participating this study, based on the assessment of investigator.

  7. Inadequate washout period of prior biological therapy.
  8. History of malignant tumour within 5 years before screening.
