Clinical Trial Title

A Phase 3b, Randomized, Double-Blind, Active-Controlled, Multicenter Study to Evaluate a "Subject-tailored" Maintenance Dosing Approach in Subjects with Moderate-to-Severe Plaque Psoriasis



Clinical Trial Protocol Description

The purpose of this study is to see the effect (good or bad) of increasing the time between doses of Ustekinumab (Stelara) beyond the FDA-approved 12 weeks for treatment of moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis, using the FDA approved Ustekinumab dose of 45 mg or 90 mg.
