* Must have moderate to severe psoriasis based on PASI greater than 12, IGA greater than 3, and greater than 10% body surface area
* Must be inadequately controlled by prior treatments (topicals, phototherapy, and/or systemic therapies)

Exclusion Criteria:

* Forms of psoriasis other than chronic, plaque-type (such as pustular, erythrodermic and guttate psoriasis)
* Drug induced psoriasis
