Title: A Phase 3 Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Induction and Maintenance Regimens of Brodalumab Compared With Placebo and Ustekinumab in Subjects With Moderate to Severe Plaque Psoriasis: AMAGINE-3
Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of brodalumab at two different doses compared with placebo in participants with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.

A second purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy brodalumab at two different doses compared with ustekinumab in participants with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.

A third purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of 4 maintenance regimens of brodalumab.
