This is a Phase 2b, randomized, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multiple-dose study designed to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of NDI-034858 in participants with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. This study will also evaluate the plasma concentrations of NDI-034858 and explore the immune response to NDI-034858 in participants with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.
Approximately 259 male and female participants, aged 18 to 70 years (inclusive) were enrolled in this study. Participants were randomized to receive either one of the four doses of NDI-034858, or placebo on Day 1. The goal was to have approximately 50 participants randomized per treatment group (1:1:1:1:1 ratio) on Day 1. During the treatment period, NDI-034858 or placebo was orally administered QD for 12 weeks. The 12 week treatment period was followed by a 4-week safety follow-up period.

Percentage of Participants Who Achieved at Least 75 Percent (%) Improvement From Baseline in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI-75) at Week 12
The PASI quantifies the severity of a participant's psoriasis based on both "lesion severity" and the "percent of body surface area (BSA)" affected. PASI is a composite scoring by the investigator of degree of erythema, induration, and scaling (each scored separately) for each of 4 body regions (head and neck, upper limbs, trunk \[including axillae and groin\], and lower limbs \[including buttocks\]), with adjustment for the percent of BSA involved for each body region and for the proportion of the body region to the whole body. The PASI composite score varies in increments of 0.1 and range from 0 (no disease) to 72 (maximal disease), with higher scores representing greater severity of psoriasis. PASI 75 response is a binary measure defined as at least a 75% improvement in PASI score at Week 12, relative to baseline PASI score.
Time frame: Baseline, Week 12
Percentage of Participants Who Achieved Physician's Global Assessment (PGA) Score of Clear (0) or Almost Clear (1) at Week 12
The PGA is a global assessment of the current state of the disease. It is a 5-point morphological assessment of overall disease severity with scores ranging from 0 to 4, where Score 0: Clear (No signs of psoriasis; post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation may be present); Score 1: Almost clear (No thickening; normal to pink coloration; no to minimal focal scaling); Score 2: Mild (Just detectable to mild thickening; pink to light red coloration; predominantly fine scaling); Score 3: Moderate (Clearly distinguishable to moderate thickening; dull to bright red; clearly distinguishable to moderate erythema; moderate scaling); Score 4: Severe (Severe thickening with hard edges; bright to deep dark red coloration; severe/coarse scaling covering almost all or all lesions). The percentage of participants who achieved a PGA score of clear (0) or almost clear (1) at Week 12 were reported.
Time frame: At Week 12
Percentage of Participants Who Achieved at Least 90% Improvement From Baseline in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI-90) at Week 12

Percentage of Participants Who Achieved at Least 100% Improvement From Baseline in Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI-100) at Week 12
The PASI quantifies the severity of a participant's psoriasis based on both "lesion severity" and the "percent of BSA" affected. PASI is a composite scoring by the investigator of degree of erythema, induration, and scaling (each scored separately) for each of 4 body regions (head and neck, upper limbs, trunk \[including axillae and groin\], and lower limbs \[including buttocks\]), with adjustment for the percent of BSA involved for each body region and for the proportion of the body region to the whole body.

PASI 100 response is a binary measure defined as at least a 100% improvement in PASI score at Week 12, relative to baseline PASI score.

Change From Baseline in Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) Total Score at Week 12
The DLQI is a simple 10 question validated questionnaire that has been used in more than 40 different skin conditions. The DLQI is the most frequently used quality of life instrument in studies of randomized controlled trials in dermatology. Each question is scored on a four-point Likert scale: very much (3); a lot (2); a little (1); not at all (0). DLQI total score is defined as the sum of the 10 questions, ranging from 0 (not at all) to 30 (very much). Higher scores indicate more impact on quality of life of participants; and lower scores indicate less impact on the quality of life of participants.
Time frame: Baseline, Week 12
Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Event (TEAEs) and Serious TEAEs
An adverse event (AE) means any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product; the untoward medical occurrence does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product whether or not it is related to the medicinal product. TEAEs were defined as any AEs with onset date on or after the first study treatment dosing. An SAE was any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose resulted in death, was life-threatening, required inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, was a congenital abnormality or birth defect, an important medical event. TEAEs included both serious and non-serious AEs.
Time frame: From start of study drug administration up to Week 16
Plasma Concentrations of NDI-034858 in Participants Receiving Active Treatment
The analysis of NDI-034858 levels in plasma was performed using a validated reversed-phase Ultra High-Performance Liquid Chromatography coupled with tandem mass-spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) method. Here, plasma concentrations of NDI-034858 determined at given timepoints were reported.
Time frame: Week 1: Day 1, Pre-dose and 1-hour post-dose; Week 4: Pre-dose, 1-hour and 4 hours post-dose; Week 8: Pre-dose; Week 12: Post-dose
