Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability and Efficacy of CT303 in Patients With Psoriasis

Investigate the Safety, Tolerability, Efficacy and pharmacodynamics properties of CT303 in patients with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis

This study is a multi-center, open-label, dose-escalation and dose-finding phase 1 clinical trial. The primary purpose is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of CT303 and the secondary purpose is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of CT303 in patients with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.
