Title: A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-Controlled, Ascending Single-Dose Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of AMG 827 in Healthy Subjects and Subjects With Moderate to Severe Psoriasis
Brief Summary: This Phase 1 study will evaluate safety, tolerability, PK and PD of AMG 827 when administered as a single SC or IV dose.


Options:
A: Inclusion Criteria:Patients eligible for inclusion in this study have to fulfill all of the following criteria:

* Diagnosis of PsA classified by CASPAR criteria and with symptoms for at least 6 months with moderate to severe PsA who must have at Baseline ≥3 tender joints out of 78 and ≥3 swollen out of 76 (dactylitis of a digit counts as one joint each)
* Rheumatoid factor and anti-CCP antibodies negative at screening
* Diagnosis of active plaque psoriasis or nail changes consistent with psoriasis or documented history of plaque psoriasis
* Subjects with PsA should have taken NSAIDs for at least 4 weeks prior to randomization with inadequate control of symptoms or at least one dose if stopped due to intolerance to NSAIDs
* Subjects taking corticosteroids must be on a stable dose of ≤10 mg/day prednisone or equivalent for at least 2 weeks before randomization and should remain on a stable dose up to Week 24
* Subjects taking MTX (≤ 25 mg/week) are allowed to continue their medication if the dose is stable for at least 4 weeks before randomization and should remain on a stable dose up to Week 52.

Exclusion Criteria:Patients fulfilling any of the following criteria are not eligible for inclusion in this study:

* Chest X-ray or chest MRI with evidence of ongoing infectious or malignant process, obtained within 3 months prior to screening and evaluated by a qualified physician
* Subjects taking high potency opioid analgesics (e.g. methadone, hydromorphone, morphine)
* Previous exposure to secukinumab or other biologic drug directly targeting IL-17 or IL-17 receptor
* Ongoing use of prohibited psoriasis treatments / medications (e.g., topical corticosteroids, UV therapy) at randomization. The following wash out periods need to be observed:
* Oral or topical retinoids 4 weeks

* Phototherapy (UVA or UVB) 2 weeks
* Topical skin treatments (except in face, scalp and genital area during screening, only corticosteroids with mild to moderate potency) 2 weeks
* Subjects who have ever received biologic immunomodulating agents except for those targeting TNFα, investigational or approved
* Previous treatment with any cell-depleting therapies including but not limited to anti-CD20, investigational agents (e.g., CAMPATH, anti-CD4, anti-CD5, anti-CD3, anti-CD19)
B: Inclusion Criteria:

* Clinical diagnosis of moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis for at least 6 months prior to enrollment;

* Premenopausal female participants must agree to abstain from heterosexual activity or use a medically approved method of contraception or use appropriate effective contraception as per local regulations or guidelines
* For the extension study: must have completed Part 3 of the base study
* For the extension study: must have achieved at least a PASI-50 response by the end of Part 3 of the base study

Exclusion Criteria:

* Non-plaque forms of psoriasis
* Presence or history of severe psoriatic arthritis and is well-controlled on current treatment regimen
* Women of childbearing potential who are pregnant, intend to become pregnant, or are lactating
* Participant is expected to require topical therapy, phototherapy, or systemic therapy during the trial
* Presence of any infection or history of recurrent infection requiring treatment with systemic antibiotics
* Previous use of entanercept, tildrakizumab (MK-3222), or other interleukin-23 (IL-23)/T- helper cell 17 (Th-17) pathway inhibitors including p40, p19, and IL-17 antagonists

* For the extension study: active or uncontrolled significant organ dysfunction or clinically significant laboratory abnormalities
* For the extension study: expected to require topical treatment, phototherapy, or systemic treatment during the extension study
C: Inclusion Criteria:

Part A:

* Able to provide written informed consent
* Healthy male or female between 18 to 45 years of age, inclusive at the time of screening
* Additional inclusion criteria apply

Part B:

* 18 - 55 years old inclusive at Screening
* Active but clinically stable, plaque psoriasis
* Psoriasis involving ≥ 10% of the body surface area
* A minimum PASI score of ≥ 10 obtained during the screening period
* Additional inclusion criteria apply

Exclusion Criteria:

Part A:

* History or evidence of a clinically significant disorder (including but not limited to cardiopulmonary, oncologic, renal, metabolic, hematologic or psychiatric), condition or disease that, in the opinion of the Investigator and Amgen physician would pose a risk to subject safety or interfere with the study evaluation, procedures or completion
* Underlying condition that predisposes the subject to infections (eg, uncontrolled diabetes - HbA1c \> 7%, history of splenectomy)
* Additional exclusion criteria apply

Part B:

* Active guttate, erythrodermic, or pustular psoriasis at the time of the screening visit
* Evidence of skin conditions other than psoriasis (eg, eczema) at the time of the screening visit or between the screening visit and study drug initiation that would interfere with evaluations of the effect of investigational product on psoriasis
* Any condition that, in the judgment of the investigator, might cause this study to be detrimental to the subject
* Additional exclusion criteria apply
D: Inclusion Criteria:

* Patients should have diagnosis of plaque-type psoriasis for at least 6 months prior to first administration of study agent (patients with concurrent psoriatic arthritis may be enrolled)
* Moderate-to-severe psoriasis scored as PASI \>= 10 at screening and at the time of first administration of ustekinumab
* Should currently receive (and have been receiving for at least 8 weeks directly prior to screening) systemic therapy with methotrexate at a dose of at least 10 mg/week but not exceeding 25 mg/week, with an inadequate response to this treatment (due to either efficacy or tolerability) and, in the judgment of the treating physician and patient, a treatment change is needed
* Women should take adequate birth control measures throughout the study and must agree to continue to use such birth control measures and not to become pregnant or plan to become pregnant for at least 15 weeks after the last dose of ustekinumab and for at least 6 months after the last dose of methotrexate
