Who can take part
You may be able to join if
- 1. Signed and dated informed consent has been obtained prior to any protocol-related procedures.
- 2. Age 18 years or above at the time of informed consent signing.
- 3. Subject is able to comply with clinic visits and trial requirements and procedures, as assessed by the investigator.
- 4. Diagnosis of PPP in accordance with the consensus diagnostic criteria established by the European Rare and Severe Psoriasis Expert Network (ERASPEN): primary, persistent (>3 months duration), sterile, macroscopically visible pustules on the palms and/or soles, with or without plaque psoriasis elsewhere on the body.
- 5. Confirmed PPP by central evaluation of photographs taken at screening.
- 6. Mild to severe PPP current condition defined by: • Disease duration of PPP of >6 months before randomisation. • PPP-PGA of at least mild severity (PPP-PGA ≥2) at screening and baseline. • Palmoplantar Pustulosis Area and Severity Index (PPPASI) ≥8 at screening and baseline.
You likely can't join if
- 1. Presence or known history of drug-induced PPP
- 10. Any disorder which is not stable and could: • Affect the safety of the subject throughout the trial. • Impede the subject’s ability to complete the trial.
- 11. Any clinically significant abnormal findings occurring during the screening period and/or observed at the baseline visit that may put the subject at risk because of their participation in the trial, or can influence the subjects ability to complete the trial.
- 12. Positive hepatitis B surface antigen and/or hepatitis B core antibody and positive hepatitis B virus DNA (subjects who have tested positive for hepatitis B core antibody are eligible if tests for hepatitis B surface antigen and hepatitis B virus DNA are negative), or positive hepatitis C virus antibody serology confirmed by hepatitis C virus RNA at screening.
- 13. Known or suspected hypersensitivity to any component(s) of the IMP.
- 14. Current or recent chronic alcohol or drug abuse, or any other condition associated with poor compliance as judged by the investigator.
