Title: A 24-Week Multicenter, Randomized, Open-Label, Parallel-Group Study Comparing the Efficacy and Safety of Ixekizumab to Fumaric Acid Esters and Methotrexate in Patients With Moderate-to-Severe Plaque Psoriasis Who Are Naive to Systemic Treatment With an Extension Period
Brief Summary: The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of ixekizumab compared to fumaric acid esters (FAE) and methotrexate (MTX) in participants with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis who are naive to systemic treatment.

A: Inclusion Criteria:

* Participants who are candidates for systemic therapy and who are naive to systemic treatment for psoriasis.
* Have a (PASI score \>10 or BSA \>10) and DLQI \>10 at screening and at baseline.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Have predominant pattern of pustular, erythrodermic, and/or guttate forms of psoriasis.
* Have received systemic nonbiologic psoriasis therapy.
* Have prior, concurrent, or recent use of ixekizumab or any other biological psoriasis therapy.
* Have any condition or contraindication as addressed in the local labeling for MTX or FAE.
* Presence of significant uncontrolled cerebro-cardiovascular, respiratory, hepatic, renal, gastrointestinal, endocrine, hematologic, neurologic, or neuropsychiatric disorders or abnormal laboratory values at screening.
* Have severe gastrointestinal disease, oral ulcer, or known, active gastrointestinal ulcer.
* Have had a serious infection or are immunocompromised.
* At screening, participants with significant, present, or early liver disease, e.g., explained by alcohol consumption or hepatic insufficiency.
B: Inclusion Criteria:

* Have a diagnosis of chronic plaque psoriasis (with or without psoriatic arthritis) for at least 6 months before the first administration of study drug. Duration of diagnosis may be reported by the patient.

  2. Have a Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) score ≥12 and
  3. Have a Static Physician Global Assessment (sPGA) score of ≥3.

* Patients with

  1. non-plaque forms of psoriasis (including guttate, erythrodermic, or pustular)
  2. current drug-induced psoriasis (including an exacerbation of psoriasis from beta blockers, calcium channel blockers, or lithium)
  3. active ongoing inflammatory diseases other than psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis that might confound trial evaluations according to investigator's judgment

* Patient with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis for whom a decision to use etanercept has been made;
* At the investigator discretion, patient who would benefit from systemic therapy;
* PASI (psoriasis area and severity index) ≥ 10 and BSA (body surface area affected by psoriasis) ≥ 10 at day 0;

* At the investigator's discretion, patient with any significant infection within 30 days of screening or a patient at risk of septicemia;
* Patient with evidence of any skin condition that would interfere with the evaluation of psoriasis;
* Patient used investigational drugs within 12 weeks or three half-life of Day 0 whichever is longer;
* Patient used systemic anti-psoriatic drugs such as steroids, retinoids, methotrexate, cyclosporine within four weeks of Day 0;
* Patient used any biologic such as alefacept, etanercept, efalizumab, infliximab and adalimumab within 12 weeks of Day 0;
* Patient used ultraviolet light therapy (UVB or nbUVB) within four weeks of Day 0 or PUVA (psoralen ultra violet A) within eight weeks of Day 0;
* Patient with prior or concurrent use of cyclophosphamide;
* Patient with concurrent sulfasalazine therapy or concurrent use of anakinra;
* Patient with an unstable or serious medical condition as defined by the investigator or presence of any significant medical condition that might cause this study to be detrimental to the patient.

* Current pregnancy or lactation;
* At the investigator's discretion, patient with current or history of alcohol or drug abuse that would interfere with the ability of the patient to comply with the study protocol;
