Summary
This phase 2 trial tests an experimental oral drug called ICP-332 against a placebo in 172 adults with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis. Participants take the drug or placebo daily for 12 weeks. The main goal is to see if at least 75% of skin symptoms improve. If it works, ICP-332 could become a new treatment option for people with this chronic skin condition.

- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a new oral treatment option for people with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis.
