Title: A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study Comparing the Efficacy and Safety of LY2439821 to Etanercept and Placebo in Patients With Moderate-to-Severe Plaque Psoriasis
Brief Summary: This study will assess the safety and efficacy of ixekizumab (LY2439821) compared to etanercept and placebo in participants with moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis.


Options:
A: Inclusion Criteria:

* Plaque-type psoriasis diagnosed \>= 6 months prior
* Plaque-type psoriasis covering at least 10% of total body surface areas
* Psoriasis area-and-severity index score of \>=12 at screening and baseline
* Considered by treating dermatologist to be a candidate for phototherapy or systemic treatment of psoriasis
* Women of childbearing potential and all men must agree to use adequate birth control measures throughout the trials and for 12 months following the last injection of study agent
* Have no history of latent or active tuberculosis (TB)

Exclusion Criteria:

* Currently have nonplaque forms of psoriasis or drug-induced psoriasis
* Women who are pregnant or nursing, or men and women planning pregnancy while enrolled in the study
* Patients who have used any therapeutic agent targeted at reducing IL-12 or IL-23
* Patients who have had a Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccination within the previous 12 months prior to screening
* Patients who have a history of chronic or recurrent infectious disease or who have or have had a serious infection requiring hospitalization or intravenous antibiotics within the previous 2 months prior to screening
* Patients who have or ever have had a nontuberculous mycobacterial infection or opportunistic infection
* Patients known to be infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B, or hepatitis C
* Patients who have current signs or symptoms of severe, progressive, or uncontrolled renal, hepatic, hematological, gastrointestinal, endocrine, pulmonary, cardiac, neurologic, cerebral, or psychiatric disease
* Patients with a malignancy or who have a history of malignancy (with the exception of certain skin cancers and pre-invasive cervical cancer)
* Patients participating in another trial using an investigational agent or procedure
* Systemic immunosuppressants within 4 weeks of the first administration of study agent
B: Inclusion Criteria:

* patients with psoriasis
* Age and sex matched patients with CAD, with untreated hypertension and healthy subjects

Exclusion Criteria:

* for psoriasis patients were presence of wall motion abnormalities and ejection fraction ≤ 50%, psoriatic arthritis, history of acute coronary syndrome, familial hyperlipidemia, insulin dependent-diabetes mellitus, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or asthma, moderate or severe valvular heart disease, primary cardiomyopathies and malignant tumors. CAD was excluded in psoriasis patients by absence of clinical history, angina and reversible myocardial ischemia, as assessed by dobutamine stress echocardiography or thallium scintigraphy
* regarding the group of CAD patients, we only included patients without history of ST elevation myocardial infarction in order to exclude the presence of transmural scar compromising myocardial function indices. Thus, CAD patients with wall motion abnormalities and ejection fraction of ≤ 50% were excluded. In addition, exclusion criteria, were history of acute coronary syndrome without ST-segment elevation within the last year, familial hyperlipidemia, insulin dependent-diabetes mellitus, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or asthma, moderate or severe valvular heart disease, primary cardiomyopathies and malignant tumor
* in normal controls, CAD was excluded by the presence of normal ECG, absence of clinical history and absence of reversible ischemia by means of treadmill test or dobutamine stress echocardiography
C: Inclusion Criteria:

* Present with chronic plaque psoriasis based on a confirmed diagnosis of chronic plaque psoriasis for at least 6 months prior to first dose of study drug
* At least 10% Body Surface Area (BSA) of psoriasis at screening and at first dose of study drug
* Static Physician Global Assessment (sPGA) score of at least 3 and Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) score of at least 12 at screening and at first dose of study drug
* Candidate for phototherapy and/or systemic therapy
* Men must agree to use a reliable method of birth control or remain abstinent during the study
* Women must agree to use reliable birth control or remain abstinent during the study and for at least 12 weeks after stopping treatment

Exclusion Criteria:

* Pustular, erythrodermic, and/or guttate forms of psoriasis
* History of drug-induced psoriasis
* Prior use of etanercept
* Clinically significant flare of psoriasis during the 12 weeks prior to randomization
* Concurrent or recent use of any biologic agent
* Received non-biologic systemic psoriasis therapy or phototherapy (including psoralens and ultraviolet A \[PUVA\], ultraviolet B \[UVB\]) within the previous 4 weeks; or had topical psoriasis treatment within the previous 2 weeks prior to randomization
* Cannot avoid excessive sun exposure or use of tanning booths for at least 4 weeks prior to randomization and during the study
* Have participated in any study with interleukin 17 (IL-17) antagonists, including ixekizumab
* Serious disorder or illness other than plaque psoriasis
* Serious infection within the last 3 months
* Breastfeeding or nursing (lactating) women
D: Inclusion Criteria:

* Are 18 years or older with diagnosis for at least 12 months of moderate to severe plaque psoriasis covering as least 10%of body surface area
* a Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) score of 12 and are considered to be candidates for systemic or light therapy
* No evidence of active or latent tuberculosis

Exclusion Criteria:

* Non-plaque or drug induced forms of psoriasis
* cannot discontinue current oral, injectible or topical therapy for psoriasis or cannot discontinue phototherapy (PUVA or UVB)
* any uncontrolled significant medical condition
