Study of Efficacy and Safety of HLX03 in Subjects With Moderate to Severe Plaque Psoriasis

Study Purpose

This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, positive drug parallel-group controlled clinical study in China to evaluate efficacy, safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of HLX03 and adalimumab (Humira) in subjects with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. This study will recruit 216 subjects (18-75 years old, male and female) with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. The 216 subjects will be randomly assigned per 1:1 ratio into the following two treatment groups (HLX03 OR Adalimumab). The study will be conducted in three periods, including the screening period, treatment period and follow-up period. For each participating subjects, the maximal length of the study will be 56 weeks (including up to four weeks of screening time).

Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.
