Approximately 128 patients with chronic moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis (defined as Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) ≥12 and Body Surface Area (BSA) involved ≥10%) will be randomized to four groups (three dose groups of AUR101 and one placebo group) in the ratio of 1:1:1:1. The patients in each arm will receive AUR101 of 200 mg twice daily, 400 mg twice daily, 400 mg once daily or matching placebo for 16 weeks in a double blind, double dummy fashion. All patients will be followed up for 14 ± 2 days of their last dose for safety assessment.
