  • PASI score ≥10;
  • Body weight ≤100 kg;
  • Candidate for systemic treatment or phototherapy for psoriasis;
  • ECG is normal or shows abnormalities which, in the judgment of the Investigator, are not clinically significant;
  • Females of child-bearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test at screening;
  • Females of child-bearing potential must be willing to use 2 methods of contraception deemed adequate by the Investigator (for example oral contraceptive pills plus a barrier method) to be eligible for, and continue participation in, the study;

  • Treatment with high potency topical corticosteroids (Class I-III), keratolytics, or coal tar (other than on the scalp, palms, groin, and/or soles) within 2 weeks of the Baseline visit;
  • Ultraviolet or Dead Sea therapy within 4 weeks of the Baseline visit, or anticipated need for either of these therapies during the study period;
  • Treatment with a biological agent (including etanercept, adalimumab, efalizumab, infliximab, or alefacept) within a period of time equal to 5 times its circulating half-life, or 30 days, whichever is longer, prior to the Baseline visit;
  • History of poor clinical response to methotrexate after an adequate regimen and duration of treatment;
  • Treatment with systemic nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, beta-blockers, lithium, hydroxychloroquine, chloroquine, or systemic terbinafine within 2 weeks of the Baseline visit, or anticipated need for such drugs during the study period;
  • Presence or history of uncontrolled asthma;

  • Significant cardiac arrhythmia or conduction block, congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association Class 3-4), or any other evidence of clinically significant heart disease or clinically significant findings on screening electrocardiogram;
  • Hemoglobin level \<9.0 gm/L;
  • Platelet count \<125,000/mm\^3;
  • White blood cell count \<3500/mm\^3;
  • Serum creatinine level greater than 1.5 times the laboratory's upper limit of normal;
  • Liver aminotransferase levels greater than 2 times the laboratory's upper limit of normal;
  • Pregnancy, planned pregnancy, lactation, or inadequate contraception as judged by the Investigator;
  • History of malignancy within the past 5 years (excluding basal cell carcinoma of the skin and ≤3 cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas, all of which have been completely excised);
  • Significant acute or chronic medical or psychiatric illness that, in the judgment of the Investigator, could compromise patient safety, limit the patient's ability to complete the study, and/or compromise the objectives of the study;
  • Participation in another investigational drug or vaccine trial concurrently or within 30 days; or within 5 half lives of a biological investigational product, whichever is longer;
  • Other conditions which would confound the study evaluations or endanger the safety of the patient.
