Title: A Multi-center, Randomized, Double-blind, Three-arm, 16 Week, Adaptive Phase III Clinical Study to Investigate the Efficacy and Safety of LAS41008 vs LASW1835 and vs Placebo in Patients With Moderate to Severe Chronic Plaque Psoriasis
Brief Summary: The aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of LAS41008 in comparison to active control and placebo in patients with moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis


Options:
A: Inclusion Criteria:

* Subjects with chronic, plaque-type psoriasis for at least 6 months
* 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
* Use of other psoriasis treatments during the study
* Prior use of etanercept
* Prior use of secukinumab or any other drug that target IL-17 (interleukin 17) or the IL-17 receptor
* Pregnant or lactating women; women who do not agree to use contraception during the study and for 16 weeks after stopping treatment

* History of an ongoing, chronic or recurrent infection or evidence of tuberculosis
* Allergy to rubber or latex

Other protocol-defined inclusion/exclusion criteria may apply
B: Inclusion Criteria:

* Have had a diagnosis of plaque-type psoriasis (psoriasis vulgaris) for at least 12 months prior to the first screening procedure.
* Have a PASI score of 12 or greater AND a PGA score of 3 ("moderate") or 4 ("severe") at Baseline (Day 1).
* Considered by dermatologist investigator to be a candidate for systemic therapy or phototherapy of psoriasis (either naïve or history of previous treatment).

Exclusion Criteria:

* Currently have non-plaque forms of psoriasis, eg, erythrodermic, guttate, or pustular psoriasis, with the exception of nail psoriasis which is allowed.
* Have current drug induced psoriasis, eg, a new onset of psoriasis or an exacerbation of psoriasis from beta blockers, calcium channel blockers, antimalarial drugs or lithium.
* Subjects who cannot discontinue systemic therapies and/or topical therapies for the treatment of psoriasis and cannot discontinue phototherapy (UVB or PUVA) for the study are excluded.
C: Inclusion Criteria:

* 18 years or older with diagnosis of plaque-type psoriasis (psoriasis vulgaris) for at least 12 months prior to first dose of study drug;

* No evidence of active or latent or inadequately treated infection with Tuberculosis or other serious infections.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Non-plaque or drug induced forms of psoriasis;
* Cannot discontinue current oral, injectable or topical therapy for psoriasis or cannot discontinue phototherapy (Psoralen Ultraviolet A; Ultraviolet B).

4. With a diagnosis of chronic plaque psoriasis for at least 12 months before enrollment in the study
5. With the severity of psoriasis defined as moderate to severe, as reflected in meeting all the following criteria:

   * PASI \> 10
   * BSA (body surface area) \> 10 %
   * PGA moderate to severe
6. With general good health, or a stable medical condition not considered likely to interfere with the conduct of the clinical study, as determined by the investigator based upon results of medical history, laboratory results and physical examination
7. Prior therapy with systemic drugs for psoriasis or naïve to systemic treatment but identified as a candidate for systemic treatment.
8. With a complete record of at least 12 months of other previous topical and systemic treatments, if any
9. Adhering to the following wash-out periods Topical treatment Wash-out Period Corticosteroids Vitamin A analogues Vitamin D analogues Anthracene derivatives Tar Salicylic acid preparations 2 weeks Systemic treatment Biologics with antipsoriatic activity 3 months Conventional systemic antipsoriatic drugs and phototherapy 1 month Immunosuppressive medication (if not covered by any of the above treatments) Cytostatics 6 months Medications with known harmful influences on the kidneys 5 x halftime
10. For females of child-bearing potential: a negative serum pregnancy test at screening and willing to use highly effective methods of birth control during the study period and for 60 days after the last dose of investigational product. Additionally they must agree to have pregnancy tests while on study medication. Highly effective methods of birth control are defined as those which result in a low failure rate (i.e. less than 1% per year) when used consistently and correctly, such as implants, injectables, combined oral contraceptives, some IUDs, sexual abstinence or vasectomized partner. Female patients will be considered to be of childbearing potential unless surgically sterilized by hysterectomy or bilateral tubal ligation, or post-menopausal for at least two years.

12. Willing to keep sun exposure reasonably constant and not to use tanning booths or other UV light sources for the duration of the trial

Exclusion Criteria:

1. For females: pregnant or lactating

3. With a hematological abnormality as follows: platelet count \< 100,000/mm3, WBC count \< 3,000 cells/ mm3, lymphocyte count \< 1.000/µl, hemoglobin, hematocrit, or red blood cell count outside 30 % of the upper or lower limits of normal for the lab
4. With a history of malignancies except for non melanoma skin cancer
5. Suffering from significant gastrointestinal problems (ulcers, diarrhea, etc.)
6. Known to have significant renal impairment
