Pharmacokinetics, Efficacy, Safety, and Immunogenicity of SB5 Versus Humira in Subjects With Moderate to Severe Chronic Plaque Psoriasis

A Phase IV, Randomized, Double-blind, Parallel-group, Multiple-dose, Active Comparator, Multicenter Clinical Study to Evaluate the Pharmacokinetics, Efficacy, Safety, and Immunogenicity of SB5 Versus Humira in Subjects With Moderate to Severe Chronic Plaque Psoriasis

This is a Phase IV, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, multiple-dose, active comparator, multicenter clinical study to evaluate the pharmacokinetics, efficacy, safety, and immunogenicity of SB5 versus Humira in subjects with moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis.

The primary objective of this study is to assess the pharmacokinetic similarity in subjects with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis who switch between Humira and SB5 to those receiving Humira continuously.

All entered subjects will be treated with Humira during a lead-in period of 13 weeks. At Week 13, subjects who achieved at least a 50% reduction in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI50) response will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to either be switched between Humira and SB5 or continue on Humira.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Have no history of Adalimumab and cell-depleting biologics
• Have no history of any other biologics use within 6 months prior to Week 0

• Have received phototherapy or conventional systemic therapy within 4 weeks prior to Week 0
• Have received topical therapy for psoriasis within 2 weeks prior to Week 0, however class 6/7 corticosteroids are allowed on face and groin
• Women who are pregnant or nursing at Screening, or men and women planning pregnancy during the study period and until 5 months after the last dose of IP
